Having the templates in the repo at least gives you a degree of portability.

I'm guessing there isn't an "export issues" feature so the above point is moot.

I favour the portability.

"Is that all too fluffy and philosophical? OK, fine. Here’s how to cut your life costs in half. Start by getting rid of your Debt Emergency if you have one. Live close to work. Move to another city if you enjoy adventure. Don’t borrow money for cars, and don’t buy stupid ones. Ride a bike wherever you can. Cancel your TV service. Stop wasting money on groceries. Give your kids the opportunity to achieve greatness without being pampered. Lose the overpriced cell phones. Learn to appreciate the life-boosting joy of using your own body to get things done. Learn to mock convenience. Practice optimism."

"A family of four in the US can live comfortably on about 24k per year plus having a paid-off house. With an nice conservative 4% annual withdrawal/return rate on your investments, you need $600k invested to generate this cashflow, inflation-adjusted, forever, plus your $200k house. $800k total. Or, if you want to get off your butt and work very occasionally to earn $12k per year, you can slice the $600k number down to $300k! Or you can save the $600k AND work, and keep saving more and more over the years – ending up a multimillionaire all while doing very little paid work."

You will never get ahead if you live in SF, period (maybe if you strike a startup lottery ticket; with those odds, might as well buy a traditional lottery ticket and save the nights and weekends). I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You can view it as an adventure, but you'll eventually need to dig out financially (overcompensate retirement savings) when you decide to move somewhere else.

To anyone who noticed one of the cities with high rates of homeownership, that can work remote, withstand rough winters, and accept that their football team will never win the Super Bowl, MOVE TO BUFFALO!

Buffalo used to be a very wealthy city. It was the first American city with widespread electricity (thanks, Niagara Falls!), and because it's had some hard times, you can literally buy a mansion at (relatively) bargain prices and rent it out to half a dozen people, and you still get to keep the master bed and bath for yourself.

And there's the added bonus of living in a proud, blue collar city, where people care about who you are, and not what you're paid.
That's far less true than you might assume.

I have seen a company pay someone 100$/hour to learn a new language as part of a 6 month contract. They were producing better code than the company's staff within 3 weeks and finished the project ahead of time.

Granted, he was an EE not a software developer. But, deep knowledge of a platform is often more dangerous than helpful. The surface layer tends to be the least buggy parts of most systems.

PS: I wish more people heard "Let's use reflection!" as "Let's use regular expressions!" for similar reasons. Yes, it can help, but you can also dig a ditch using grenades...
I definitely understand your frustration, but calling the people cheap idiots seems a bit harsh. Does Instacart give tipping guidance? As a user, I would just assume they pay reasonable wages and a tip should be just that... a tip, not a living wage.
So it probably won't be available at the super low price elsewhere. I bet Indian customs will have a lot of work on their hands...
> On top of that, it also depends where you think the interests rates will be in 10-20 years from now. If you believe that they will be higher than they are currently, then that's even more reason to keep that loan locked in for 30 years instead of paying it off sooner.

That makes no sense. You'll be better off paying a lower interest rate than you would be not having a loan in a high rate environment?
This is a common misconception. The reality is that banks lend money at interest rates above what the central bank offers them, meaning they can lend as much as they want irrespective of deposits, and then borrow reserves from the central bank at a lower rate.

For me the biggest job-search hurdle is emotional... I know it sounds like one of those bullshit "you biggest weakness" dodges, but the idea of "looking elsewhere" is perilous.

I feels either like cheating (on my current employer) or else some sort of irrevocable sense of obligation towards whatever I'm asking about. ("How dare you waste my time with questions if you weren't already planning to accept an offer!")
* I guess I figured if they simply can't do it why not say "it's impossible by design," rather than argue the principle?*

Because the larger principle is what's really at play here. Whether Apple can do what the FBI asks, or not, is irrelevant. What is relevant is that what the FBI asks is bad. Even if Apple can unlock this phone because of shortcomings of the 5C (versus later model), it sets a bad precedent for later, especially if Apple truly cannot unlock the 6s and beyond ("you could do it on the 5, why not an iPhone 7?").

I'm no lawyer, but I'm of the opinion that this is a legal crowbar for later cases, and the Feds are using a tragic incident to drum up support ("you don't support terrorists, do you?")
Don't be fooled by the "micro-framework" line. My experience of building SaaS on top of Flask is that you are going to have to reinvent the wheels for a lot of things.

Flask is plagued with abandoned plugins from a cesspool of weekend contributors which you rely on for basic things such as authentication and ORM. Tough enough as it is with all the outdated documentation for each of the plugins you need.

So my recommendation based on 2 years of working with Flask is don't fucking do it, unless your product doesn't extend beyond couple of HTTP endpoints served over uwsgi + nginx for your internal applications.

I really wish I'd spent all that time I spent on Flask on Node.js, python was the wrong medium to distance myself from PHP frameworks.

All in all, 4 years have passed since my search of alternatives to LAMP. And finally, it wasn't some open source framework or asynchronous javascript to save the day, it was Amazon Lambda + API Gateway.

Gone are the need to spin up Vagrant, docker, mysql/postgresql. I just upload the specific script I want and bam. Npm modules and pip modules too.

I've in the process of migrating to AWS and leaving Flask. Great initiative, ruined by abandonware plugins and modules, certainly not attractive to entice developers to build their own wheels.

The biggest mistake you could do is basing speed and agility as basis for going with Flask. It is the complete opposite. I think using Laravel or even CodeIgniter will significantly cut development time.

Regardless, I'm done with the whole server/client frameworks and have migrated to AWS without any servers to maintain or setup. There's even frameworks for "Serverless" architecture now which makes me shake my head.
You also have to factor in a possible divorce, as in you have to ask yourself "what happens with the house/mortgage payments if we split up in 10 years?". Truth be told there are a lot of variables that we decide to just gloss over when taking decisions which will affect us financially for the next 2+ decades. Not sure why this happens, we're otherwise pretty rational creatures.

It all makes sense if when you are confused by what Google does, just remember this: we are Google's beta testers and what we test might or might not be a real product some day.

In other words, Google doesn't have much of a strategy other than throw a bunch of stuff against a wall and see what sticks.
Interesting, thanks. I'm using that tracker site quite often to see progress of various packages. But I didn't know it will be useful for managing bugs as well.

That's what the mailing list / debbugs are for. Each package has a maintainer(s) who are responsible for looking after the package creation and upload.

A new upload creates an audit trail that could be checked if needed.
I've switched to Google Inbox rather than Gmail but I'd still be happier with Gmail than any other webmail - and nearly any desktop mail client (although I've seen a few glimpses of next-gen clients that have the potential to change my mind).

Those aren't subsidized, they are loss leaders instead. You're supposed to buy more of something else or they're dumping ancient hardware nobody wants for low prices.
This seems like a great idea, but the detection isn't perfect--some annual/semi-annual bills get picked up as inactive monthly, and scheduled investment withdrawals show up as subscription services. That isn't fatal, but having a way to manually correct things would help a lot!
I think porting three.js over to Vulkan (and node.js if it isn't available on desktop yet) would be a big win. You probably won't see much performance gains over plain GL given that it's a javascript library, but it will be a good learning experience.
I don't think you'll be able to manage bugs from it directly any time soon, but it was an example of a "better" interface for Debian services.

That has been Google's problem ever since ChromeOS went from being a "can it work?" research project to something they wanted to monetize.

If you look at the timeline, Android was poised to go "productive" with the 3.x for tablets. But at that very time the first Chromebooks hit the market, and the push was strongly towards the corporate (their unveiling even had a demo of Citrix client support).

I can't help speculate that there was some backroom jousting between Rubin (Android) and Pichai (ChromeOS) about who should carry the corporate push, with Pichai winning and Rubin moving to X-labs.

It seems that Google has renewed their focus on productive Android recently though, in large part thanks to incorporating Samsung's Knox tech and such.

This likely because even though ChromeOS is a lovely "terminal", its not a phone platform.

Bascially the corporate world lacks a proper upgrade path from Windows CE/Mobile that has been powering all manner of mobile devices. Going Android would allow quite a bit of flexibility, and choice in equipment suppliers.

It would not surprise me that as with the previous Pixel, the Pixel C is as much for Google internal use as it is for retail. As i recall, the Chromebook Pixel was in part a push to provide an alternative to Macbooks for Google employees (i swear that Google may well be Apple's biggest corporate customer, possibly tied with Facebook).
If no one cares about them, nobody will vote for them and they'll fall through and get ignored.

>> This makes me wonder if 30 year mortgages even end up making housing more affordable.

Everything the government does to subsidize home-ownership ends up getting capitalized into home prices and so acts as a naked giveaway to incumbent homeowners and either does nothing for or actively hurts non-incumbents. Interventions breed more interventions as the prior ones no longer provide the above general inflation price growth that homeowners demand from their politicians. The 30 year low fixed rate mortgage with no prepayment penalty is just one among many such interventions.

It's worse than that. There's no guarantee that "the government" is "your government".

Imagine this scenario:

1.) Apple creates the custom iOS build for the FBI to use to decrypt this iPhone.

2.) China hacks into either Apple or the FBI and downloads this build. (We know they have the capability, because it's already happened. [1])

3.) A visiting U.S. diplomat, politician, or military officer has his iPhone pickpocketed while in China. (This also happens all the time.)

4.) The Chinese government uses this stolen software to brute-force the encryption on the device, finding access codes for classified U.S. military networks. (Because we know U.S. diplomats never use their personal email for state business [2], right?)

5.) Now a foreign power has access to all sorts of state military secrets.

The problem with backdoors is they let anyone in. Right now, there's a modicum of security for Apple devices because knowledge of how you would bypass the device encryption is locked up in the heads of several engineers there. The FBI is asking Apple to commit it to source code. Source code can be stolen, very easily. Tim Cook's open letter is making the point that once this software exists, there is no guarantee that it will stay only in the hands of the FBI.

I'm of the opinion that rhetoric which imbues evolution with purpose damages understanding far beyond your water example. It is common to see people cite evolution in moral claims, for example: "we evolved to eat meat". I'm not interested here in the question of whether or not eating meat is moral, I'm pointing out this is a bad form of argument which is encouraged by lazy language use when dealing with evolution.

* Can the FBI access to its devices?

No it's not. I can use the README outside of github as a guide on how to do things with the code. Contributing can define a style guide so we're all on the same page code wise. LICENSE for distribution, Makefile, package.json both are required for the code to work correctly... issue_template.md is only useful in a repo on github.
It's certainly possible to design such a system with external firmware and still allow for secure updates.

The enclave would store (in secured storage) a hash of the last used firmware. Hardware would have a hash update capability, but this destroys all other stored information (i.e., keys) if used when the enclave is not currently in an unlocked state.

On boot, hardware verifies firmware signature as usual but also compares the firmware hash (already calculated for the signature check) to the stored value. If there is a mismatch, update the stored hash. Since the enclave is currently locked, the hardware clears the keys.

Since it's in hardware, you're correct that it would have to be 100% right, but that's quite feasible for a simple update mechanism (indeed, the most complicated bits are reused pieces from the signature check which already has this requirement).
> In the end you should be aiming to design your application to depend on Flask as little as possible.

I'm 3 years in to a project where I've taken the approach of having my "app" as its own package. Flask is then a thin wrapper that instantiates the app and then exposes the views to talk to it. I handle validation / sessions / config etc within Flask.

It's extremely flexible. I have some stuff that runs off as worker processes. No problem - the core is the same, the wrapper around it is different. I also have a boot.py that I can call so I'm working directly with the app in ipython (again, it's a wrapper that starts the app).

I'm currently reworking the structure for capacity planning, which is mostly just a matter of splitting the Flask app into 2 apps for handling different parts of the work.

Because my core app is decoupled from the web app it's all really easy to do.
You call them idiots. But they had items delivered to them for free. In my mind that is smart.

Again, what is intimidating about that? The agency they were dealing with was the FBI, right? And that's the correct agency to deal with this matter, right?

Well in the FBI, 'special agent' simply means any worker who does investigatory work.
So mixed messages again. Is 'Inbox' the next-gen Gmail interface or a hobby project that will get closed down in a year? Momentum has slowed and I've become so dependent on it's workflow I'd be gutted if this was the case. However - I don't believe Google will maintain two email clients in perpetuity.

On past experience - they'll fold the functionality of one into the other - partially and imperfectly leaving users irritated once more.

Still - it's not like I'd be safe from this anywhere else. Products from smaller companies are in constant danger of aquihire shutdowns or similar.

And open-source has still yet to produce UX that's much better than 'parity with the mainstream from a few years ago'.
Maybe you should tell us which companies haze the potential candidates so we can steer clear of them? At least some hints?
Poor, because poor people are the only ones to be entirely in debt. Also everyone with a good income that has huge student loans.
