They did exactly that 4 years ago and America didn't float anywhere. US state is surprisingly strong despite weird people in power. As to why old men with obvious dementia signs, who are unable to clearly reason without being on drugs (yes, both of them), are being candidates to President - that's a puzzle to me. Are those the best Americans for this work? I doubt it, so selection system does not work somewhere.

Signing peace deals to give over lands stolen by Russia is a good thing?
I'd be nice if the EU would step up and become more self sufficient with Trump in the White House.

Though I am nervous. I think Trump could still do us a lot of harm.
Fear, rage, and entitlement. Trump has been very clear he just doesn't want it regulated at a federal level.
The media people consume will never portray Trump like you are doing just now, their vision of Trump is so distorted that you can't really even tell them any of those things, they will just disregard it as nonsense.
There’s lots of blame and anger directed at Democrats, but ultimately it’s the Republicans who picked Trump.

They could have won against the unpopular Biden/Harris with practically any other candidate. Nikki Haley polled well against all possible Democrats.

The party was already done with Trump in February 2021, but then they explicitly decided that they prefer one more try with an old man who doesn’t spare much thought to actual policies but does brag about sexual assault, tried to orchestrate a coup last time he lost an election, etc. etc.

It’s not inflation or Biden’s unpopularity or some other external factor. Lots of Americans really want what Trump is selling.
Is there any reason or source to anything you said, or just saying because you hate him. Specially regarding the last one, he clearly mentioned that he is against that.

I am as much against Trump as the next guy, but let's don't degrade HN conversations to this level.
Fiscally conservative, socially liberal (in that order) probably best describes HN.
In most countries in the world, unionization doesn't mean "get everything you want", it means collective bargaining. It's an approach that cuts both ways, creating stable employment terms, which benefits both employer and employee.
How is it not relevant? The US election has wide-reaching effects for technology workers across the US and the world.
We should hear their grievances on our bodily autonomy and healthcare ?

There are aspects where we can compromise, or empathize and learn to live together on such as economy or immigration, basic human decency and healthcare are not it.

Also bit rich that we have to listen to their grievances, they haven't afforded anyone that courtesy, or respected the process of democracy.

If the results were other way round, we would be hearing conspiracy theories about election interference non stop. You can only compromise with people acting in good faith, it is clear that majority of Americans don't want to do that.
Like it or not, that's how politics works, stretching back millennia across many cultures.
If you're looking for a quote of him saying that word for word, no. But it is not an unreasonable interpretation of the things he has said he wants to do. Especially when he's used language saying immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" and makes up lies about immigrants eating pets.

There was nothing coherent to understand. A rag tag coalition mainly built on delusional positions.

- we can have all the trade benefits without freedom of movement (specifically denied by EU at the time, didn't materialise)

- we will have 'more trade' afterwards (fails to understand how trade works)

- we won't have to follow EU rules (in reality, we can't really diverge that much from how the EU works without incurring penalties)

- we won't have to pay anything to them / we hold all the cards / ... (we did pay for our liabilities and we definitely didn't hold the cards)

- we can become much more left wing if we leave the neoliberal EU (fails to account for the fact our country isn't particularly left wing overall)

- politicians will have to take responsibility/can't blame the EU (brexiteers keep blaming the EU even now, BJ et.al. have faced minimal or no consequences for their actions)

- we can fish again (ignores relative importance of fishing vs the actually productive economy, disregards that EU is a big market for said fish)

What do you suggest we engage with?
I believe you'd make the same excuses in his defense even if the conviction was for 'murder or something'.

Everything from quoting Mein Kampf to praising Hitler's generals to using Nazi rhetoric has been done in the last few months.

> Had Jupiter been bigger, it would have been a star, and life on earth would not have existed.

Not sure a small star (e.g red-dwarf size) in Jupiter’s orbit would make much difference to Earth, other than it being brighter at night when it’s in the sky.
It’s absolutely insane to me that someone that literally incited their followers to storm the capitol, has been charged with so many counts of fuck knows what, and has (somehow) survived multiple assassination attempts can come back to win the presidency.

It’s just a “only in the US” kind of thing.
It’s a waste of time for canvassers to try to change anyone’s position; people’s political positions come from their lived experiences.

Canvassing is all about ensuring that the people who already agree with your position know how to express that on the ballot, and do.
On macOS, aligned_alloc works starting from macOS 10.15.
"Impossible" tends in my experience to be a bureaucratic euphemism for "we don't want to bother".
If you stop and think a little longer you should realize that if you give after to Russia you prove that aggression works.

And now they'll get to rebuild their military to attack Ukraine again, or maybe another country, leading to many more civilian deaths.

Russian apologists are not just weird, they're dangerous.
Kind of but not really, the Windows heap doesn't support arbitrary alignments natively, so the aligned malloc function it provides is implemented as a wrapper around the native heap which over-allocates and aligns within the allocated block. The pointer you get back isn't the start of the allocation in the native heap, so you can't pass it to the standard free() without everything exploding.

I don't think fixing that mess was ever a priority for Microsoft because it's mainly an issue for C, and their focus has long been on C++ instead. C++ new/delete knows the alignment of the type being allocated for so it can dispatch to the appropriate path automatically with no overhead in the common <=16 byte case.

Not at all wanting to be confrontational- genuinely curious; if they’re not on the far right then where are they? The Democrats seem fairly centrist, and it’s the more wayward independents (eg Greens) that seem to be on the Left.

My perspective is European & Australian, so I wonder if that skews it.
By that logic, we should also consider banning antibiotics. In a world where we consider a cell or a small grouping of cells to be a life (rather than just alive) antibiotics are essentially a tool for genocide.
Would the US give up Alaska if Russia attacked from Siberia? I'd say the US wouldn't. Ukraine has more support from EU countries who I think will step up more now that the US has become a Nazi theocratic state.
It probably got dropped when more orthogonal ways to do the same thing were better supported.

Before looking for a builtin command to do that, I'd execute a find(1) in my editor to load a buffer up with potential files to delete, and then xargs(1) the edited buffer to rm(1) them; without xargs I'd probably just prepend "rm -f" to all lines and then execute the whole buffer; if I wished to do it the slow way I could pipe those names through a shell loop; etc. etc.

(with ed(1) you'd need to first write the buffer to the filesystem, then bang-execute it, but the same workflow would suffice even on a hard tty)

EDIT: see sibling for real story: dsw(1) was meant to remove files with shell-inexpressible filenames, so none of the above would apply. Not being a unix-kernel hacker (and not having had my shell sessions corrupted by noise chars due to someone attempting to use the modem line for voice in decades), I've always managed to use wildcards to get a suitably-unique typeable match to the occasional binary-named junk file.
It's not that she lost, it's that somebody who seems to oppose democracy won.
They weren't that far off. Most were hovering around a tie with a margin of error of +/- 2-3%.

Trump won many of those states by 2-3%.
Warring Middle East nations signed more peace treaties under Trump than in any other time in modern history. Israel signed four peace treaties with Arab Nations under Trump.
You are asking why they would say true things.
It probably does in terms of averting climate change. Of course he might indulge Elon and remove all nuclear restrictions and save the world, who knows. But the chance of persuading the globe towards collective action seems ludicrously out of reach in time to avert pretty severe outcomes.
There is really no worse left to go.
It'll take multiple years for Russia to recover and have the means to target the Baltics, by then Putin will likely kick the bucket, as he's getting up there in years and who knows what the succession would look like.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Naming Integers
From the outside this is what I think too. Biden tried too desperately to be the next candidate again and Harris' campaign could have started 1 or 2 months earlier than it did.

If Trump actually wins, the world might be in for a lot of trouble very soon. Quite worrying. Aside from totalitarian regimes, wherever you look around the world people were hoping the crazy dude would not win, wondering how anyone could be so blind not to see what kind of person he is, how uneducated, silly, and what a loser in the general sense.
The Dems exist to give you an illusion of choice. This has gone down exactly as planned, or why do you think rich donors play both sides? Do you really think the Dems are this naive and keep messing up without it being on purpose?

Edit: maybe not, I think they're still in procedural limbo because no other party wants to be in the coalition.
If both sides spouts vitriol then you pick the side that doesn't pour it on you, that is the problem described by "one side is 1% less bad than the other". If you want voters then try to welcome them instead of blame them for all the problems, goes for both sides.

Each state gets a number of electors equal to their Congressional delegation: Representatives *and* Senators. So the overweighting of small states in the Senate does, to a smaller degree, affect the Electoral College as well (as every state gets two "free" electors).
250k (recorded border patrol contacts) came across in December 2023 (peak), about 55k this last August. It is usually fewer then a million per year but still a significant number of people. Bad policies in 2023 led to an absolute flood. That is competition for American workers.
I think this misses the point entirely. It's not about blame, or promises of this or that, it's about hope for change. Whether that will be a positive change or not remains to be seen, but if your life is shit, any change can feel better than no change, because at least there's hope that it might be better.
Isn't this a tentpole Republican/MAGA desire?

Why overturn Roe otherwise?

Why not implement it now when they'll control all branches of government and have a 6-3 favor in the supreme court?
Yeah. Most democrat leaning people here and outside are not reading the situation correctly.
We are currently in the process of the creation of a new world order. Its happening everywhere. Right-wing, anti-immigrant, egomaniacs with little respect for democracy as we know it are taking power in all of the western influence sphere. It might be because this is the way countries like China/russia can undermine the hegemony of the west. It might be because of the way the internet works that takes away power from the systems that used to work. Or what we could conclude that the story the liberals/left are telling all over the world implicitly locks out most people that vote and is self destructive. Either way. Don't believe the pundits they are consistently wrong.
I would be interested in learning what happened during COVID that led to this, if you have the time to talk about that. No worries if not, of course.
They very much are. V3 support comes with Chromium, and once Google removes V2 from the codebase they'll have to abide.

> Office 365 platform

Moving away from that would be a massive change management undertaking, but it's not the "Office" part which is our primary challenge. To be fair, I'm not sure we could actually survive the change management required to leave the Office and Windows part, as it would be completely unfamiliar territory for like 95% of our employees, but the collective we at least think that we can. We have quite a lot of Business Central 365 instances, the realistic alternative to those would be Excel (but not Excel). SharePoint is also a semi-massive part of our business as it's basically our "Document Warehouse".

I guess maybe I'm using the 365 term wrong?
> War is not good and signing peace deals is not a bad thing.

If Russia invades Alaska, do you think the average Republican will take the same sentiment? Just give him that land because otherwise lots of people will die.
> Racists don't need shaming into silence. They need to understand what's wrong with their beliefs.

They already know, they don't care, because that specific belief is not rooted in reason or rationality.

> Going back to the original quote, you need to see that it's not calling all voters a particular thing. There's a simple Venn diagram, one circle of racists inside a larger circle of a particular block of voters.

> Educating people out of racism, and removing racism from your society, will change votes as racism is only one aspect of a person's beliefs.

I somewhat agree with the first part[1], but vehemently disagree with the second: I don't think that eradicating racist thoughts will move the needle on who gets elected, as there are, IMO, simply too few racists around to influence an election.[2]

[1] IOW, I don't believe that education will change a racist's belief, but I do see value to society in eradicating discriminatory stereotypes and discriminatory actions, of which racism is merely one.

[2] There aren't even enough racists to form a party of their own, so I doubt that them moving from red to blue is going to be any difference from statistical noise.

To let states decide how it should be handled, rather than a federal mandate. Allowing different possibilities to be tested - maybe in some states it will become completely illegal, maybe in others mothers will face pressure to terminate a pregnancy.
@whoitwas The point of this comment was that not all Republican voters are MAGA.
You're right, but boy does it suck when antifa has to not only fight to win, but take the moral high ground and baby the potential fascists so they don't become actual fascists.
If you're writing any other language to comply with old C libraries, calling malloc()/free() is usually fine. Most C software uses malloc() on Linux, at least for the external API surface.

That only works when calling into C code, and even then it assumes the C code implements allocation using malloc()/free(), with proxies if alternative memory allocators are used.

This behaviour can't be relied upon, but for many programs glueing themselves together with C libraries that's not stopping anyone. This is why I'm not a big fan of sharing pointers between languages (or even libraries, to be honest); I'd much prefer intermediate identifiers (file descriptors, Windows HANDLEs) to track instances that pass in and out of a library, although sometimes those cause too much overhead.
Assuming you are not dealing with despots who will strike again.

I kinda expect the EU to go collective defense if the US pulls out, to see if the US can still be trusted to honor its words, of if they have to write it off entirely (honestly, they should have done that before, but…)
I agree, I think this analysis can benefit from some data sanitisation.

It is a silly one to include, because the word it is picked up by their analysis. Need to remove all hits except where the characters are referencing Pennywise directly.

I also noticed that in some cases a namedrop was registered where the eponymous character speaks, e.g. ALIENS: hisses. These need to be removed as well.

Movies where the name of the movie is the name of the leading character needs to be removed as well, or at least filterable from the list.

All of this makes the site a little less interesting imo. A good title drop in a movie is a fun little easter egg, especially if the name a bit more conceptual, e.g. The Phantom Menace. The way this site is set up at the moment makes it a bit more difficult to find those really good title drops.
This looks like routine key rotation. One year before it even starts being used and one more year before the old one gets revoked.
They were both men, it should be obvious .

Misogynistic was my first qualifier, it is not an coincidence that Trump has won only against women twice, and it is not an oversight that in 250 years America is nowhere close to electing a woman president.

When it is the people governing them, that's a perfectly rational decision - why would someone who views me with contempt govern me fairly?

It can go worst as in a civil war. To a full split of the country in x countries. Now I don’t think it will happen but saying it can’t go worst is both factually false and not anchored in reality

It's a 30-year-old house, at the moment I live in a similar old house. There is a considerable amount of renovation that needs to be done on houses that old, this house also has an energy efficiency rating of F, which is the worst. You need to invest at least €150,000 on top of that to have a reasonably modern house. It's also not decent to live on a 250m2 plot, which is probably the smallest space you can put a house on.
No, I am asking why they would knowingly desire the approval of those who prefer "irredeemable" candidates. They would either have to lie a lot to get it, or pull themselves down to be more reprehensible. So, what's their strategy? Lieing a lot after telling the "one truth", or becoming more reprehensible themselves? Probably both.
It's a delusion on the part of the downvoters.
Sadly neither candidate was going to substantively stick up for Gazan citizens. I just hope Trump's wildcardness spins the geopolitical roulette wheel to land on peace.
I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.
Just remember how rational and intelligent the average person is. Then realize that half the US population is less rational and less intelligent than that.
I’m old enough to remember 2016 elections and the “rip usa we are doomed” predictions then. The fact is, we were ok that time, it’s gonna be ok this time too.
That's the problem with this statement: Trump is not Hitler and any hypothetical "undemocratic outcomes" aren't apparent in the extreme short term. He hasn't run on a platform of eliminating democracy and there isn't any indication at this point that he will.
