After graduating with a mathematics degree, I’ve taken the opportunity to teach myself Python, R, and SQL using Dataquest. With their project-based curriculum, I have created a fair amount of projects and hosted them on my website, which is listed above.
All generally valid viewpoints, of course. There may be questions of degree, and more fundamentally, of proportion to other issues not mentioned. But taken individually, I can get where they're coming from on nearly all of these bullet points. (In particular: while I personally don't think political correctness comes anywhere near in significance to the issues it (clumsily) tries to address -- it is a significant problem in itself, and I can see why it provokes so many negative feelings in people).

It's the fact they chose, as a frontman for this body of positions, a person who's not only blatantly incompetent -- but who may very well get large numbers of us killed (for example, by unnecessarily provoking a confrontation with North Korea) and/or potentially cause extreme, irreparable damage in a whole bunch of other ways -- that's the part I don't get. Or that they can't see this basic disconnect (between the sentiment of their positions; and the reality of the end result of the course of action they advocate in response to this sentiment). When it should be blindingly obvious.

EDIT: Failed to notice that this thread represents the very essence of a "pure politics" discussion, and hence is strongly against site guidelines. Nonetheless your analysis was very succinct and thoughtful.

Yeah my disagreement is SpaceX probably offered better value than paying NASA or defence contractors to do the launches. And there is a strategic value to not say letting Russia do everything.

Bugzilla and the zombie apocalypse: understanding the life cycle of a bugzilla
I love it.

It is small if I want to, but it has lots of features if I need them.

I don't have to worry about 3rd party libraries, because the official router, forms modules, http client, material components, flex layout etc. are all high-quality.

The CLI not only helps with new projects, but also makes testing, linting, building, serving, generating new components/services/etc. easy.

Implementing lazy loading with the router was easy, so that only the modules that I need for a certain route get loaded and my home site isn't 500kb+ for no good reason.

It has a predictable release schedule.

I'm not the one who downvoted, and I don't know how many blind people make their own braille displays. It seems unlikely to me. (Not impossible. Another quick search reveals that multi-line braille exist, so it has been done.)

TBH I just did a quick search for braille displays to validate my assumption, and when the first few results came up looking roughly like the one-line display that I expected, I wrote this comment. I'm not an expert in this kind of thing though.

I'm graduating in December, will travel to UK/Europe from Christmas Eve to Feb 7, am happy to do a face-to-face interview during that period. I interned at Configura and am currently writing an e-commerce PWA for my final year project using Node, React, MySQL, HTTP/2 and ES2015+.

I have a strong attention to detail, and I like to focus on giving users a good experience. If you are looking for someone to solve non-routine problems, I'm your man.
It's got promise but it's nowhere near useful for me just yet. It's a bit confusing. For example while pulling in my rental home information from Zillow it's not clear that it's showing the current value of the home less the taxes plus the income as wealth. Also it would be nice to pull in via API calls or something my mortgage info from QuickenLoans and then correlate that balance to what Zillow says it's worth and show me a net. Things like that, but it's a great start and is smooth on my iphone 6 -- Kudos.
What's the licensing?

"you only pay for what you get"
> So in my view no communist country would invest in a national network because that would make information easier to transmit and this would undermine the regime.

Could think of it the other way. They would invest it in it so they can ensure people only transmit the right information.

Stasi or KGB would love to have access to something like Facebook.
yeah, I don't care for it much when people plug their wares unless it really is applicable. In this case, no one brought up the niches I publish to so I avoided adding them in. LOL
This the reason why services like Gab are on the rise. They guarantee your freedom of speech - which includes "hate speech" - http://wapo.st/2yl0MBP, confirmed by SCOTUS to be legal (http://bit.ly/1V8FdH3).

The reason Google, Facebook, Twitter, Cloudflare are able to get away with outright censorship of what is legally deemed to be free speech, however unpopular or distasteful it may be, is because of archaic laws that do not fit very well with speech over a medium like the internet - the above bad actors all claim private property rights and use those to trump (no pun intended to POTUS :) our constitutionally guaranteed right to (legal) free speech. The scariest/most extreme example of this was Cloudflare's example of its CEO waking up on the wrong foot one day and deciding to remove Daily Stormer's DDOS protections because he felt like it. DS is about as politically incorrect as they get, topping even 4chan's /pol/, IMHO, but it is protected speech.

Until the laws are changed to say that your ownership of a server that hosts my public speech has no right to abridge my expression, this is going to continue ad nauseum... usually through the proliferation of so called "community standards", which is basically another way of saying, "we get to determine what you can say."
It's cool but do you expect to make a living of this ?
Can we get this renamed to "frozen methane"? "Flammable ice" is kind of a ridiculous term.
There was a thread a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15527849) about how much more important diet is than exercise to maintaining weight.
> In the end this should not matter, FCC is not running a vote.

Perhaps. But would you expect the FCC to actually sift through millions of stuffed comments just to get to the few good ones?

By stuffing the system with trash comments, the submitters effectively guaranteed that the FCC won't bother to read any of the comments.
But, those are just about beliefs. None of those have to do with the establishment of laws. 51% of democrats (a majority!) want to establish a law punishing people for not using the right words.
> A milkshake is worth an hour's worth of treadmill work.

Not even. The Five Guys base milkshake is 870 calories before adding any mix-ins or whipped cream[1].

An hour on a treadmill at 6 mph for a 150 lb person is 567 calories net (exclusive of basal metabolism), 675 calories total (inclusive of basal metabolism)[2].

[2] https://www.runnersworld.com/weight-loss/how-many-calories-a...
Why doesn't someone do the same thing but for net neutrality? Just make a bot to spam with fake or dead names in favor of neutrality to balance it out. The FCC apparently won't do anything either way so why not
It's much easier to get people involved (even if it's just to give you advice on how to fix things) if they can use the app.

That really helps me get to the finish line, because I'm not thinking I'm going to launch the app in this state. I'm just trying to get it to the next checkpoint. Either I fix the UI/UX or get other involved who can.

Alternatively, UI kits are really cheap (some are free), on sites like ThemeForest, just pick one of those and run with as best you can. There will be rough edges, but for the most part the app will look good enough.
Well, I think that static types are much more useful than dynamic ones. Static types allow you to find errors with your program before execution and that is very important. And if you are going to go through the effort of defining types, it is much better to use static types because then you get this additional error checking. Furthermore, with static types the compiler can help in other ways, e.g. by organizing your data in memory much more efficiently.

I am not sure what you mean when you talk about the duality of static and dynamic types. One can exist without the other and most statically typed languages either forbid or strongly discourage dynamic typing.
Then how did Courtney Dauwalter recently win the MOAB 240 race in Utah by over eight hours on a diet of nachos, candy and beer? She eats far more calories than a normal human could and is establishing new high marks in performance along the way. Not even the Tarahumara have put up her kind of numbers.

A single hour on the treadmill will burn over 1,000 kcal for most somewhat fit people. It also increases their insulin sensitivity. The truth is most westerners and especially Americans are far too sedentary.
Do not most nations elect the head of state indirectly?

Here in Sweden the largest block with most seats get to chose the Prime minister and the seats a decided through the general election. Each seats in turn do not represent a set number of voters, but rather represent different areas in order to not let higher population areas completely dominate low population areas. As a result, citizens of the island of gotland which its two seats has almost half the normal amount of voters per seat, based on the idea that people from there should be represented by at least two different political parties and out of 349 seats it don't really make any difference in the big picture.

Democratic systems are complex. It doesn't make it flawed.
And their standard search/mapping product returns lists of hotels/attractions on a map with star ratings, unique and syndicated reviews, photos, opening times and availability & price with booking link.
> It is small if I want to

Did they finally fix it to be actually possible to make it small? I remember them quoting some ridiculous number, and none of my colleagues, nor I, could get it below a megabyte using the suggested methods, nor below a few hundred k for a hello world.
The Edn type given here is closed. That's a correct definition of Edn, which is a closed sum. Edn accomplishes extensibility via the Tag type. However, not all Clojure data is Edn. In order to implement the clmap and clget functions with their full generality, they need to support an open set of types. For example, both `#inst "..."` and `(eval '(Date. ...))` are separate types: TaggedLiteral and java.util.Date respectively.

You need either Dynamic or existentials because Clojure enables you to pass data structures between two functions expecting collection elements of differing capabilities without either A) whole program / inter-module analysis or B) an O(N) type translation.
Google has the initial search traffic for hotels/planes/cars. They could capture most of it with the commissions instead of directing to the well known comparative sites.

It's a very hot topic between Google and the travel groups.
> Is a zero-depth queue a queue?

Yes. Queuing semantics are usually about ordered delivery, acknowledgements, consumer groups, retries, priorities, etc. RabbitMQ does that, NATS only has queue groups at most.

Good XAML design tools for non-designers?

What approaches can I use to improve my XAML layout skills?
Expat 2.2.5 released
When I used Angular 1, the two way binding was a breathe of fresh air. It was akin to when jQuery first hit the scene and you all of a sudden had selectors. There was a learning curve regarding the "Angular way" (think: $scope, controller, directive), but altogether I was happy with the result and the ideology.

I tried Angular 2 and it was a mess. It feels as though the ideology is fighting you every step of the way, but with no foreseeable benefit beyond the benefits of Angular 1. Angular 1 had some issues of course (mostly with scope) but it gave us a way of working around them (via, $rootScope, etc), but Angular 2 seems to have taken away (again, think $rootScope).

Around the time Ancular 3 came out (yes, a renaming of Angular 2), I moved over to vuejs and haven't looked back yet.
