A bit like the problem dating apps have, the more successful you are, the more churn you create.

Once a group of friends come together they'll get a house share of their own instead of sharing with strangers. Probably be cheaper too. Have they modeled for high churn rates in their already thin margins?

A premium service leaves your very vulnerable to the tide going out on disposable income. The co-living space will be left with higher long term leases they can no longer service. I really want to figure out a way to short services like WeWork at a 16b valuation.

Yes, you can get 97-98%, but only when evaluating on data from the same corpus as you trained on. If you evaluate on data from a different corpus, you immediately get a pretty big drop in performance. Thus one person in the field I've talked to even went so far as to say that competing in this part of the field (state-of-the-art performance, basically) is fundamentally a question of "who is the best at overfitting".

There's basically no part of NLP that's a solved problem. Even something as superficially simple as segmenting running text into sentences and tokens is decidedly non-trivial.
As someone that has watched many of the films on the list recently I can tell you that there are many that haven't aged well IMHO.
For clarity sass and less are not required locally to run bootstrap, if you wish to build it from source then they are required.
In my experience a lead developer is the primary contact and owner for a specific feature or program. This person should know everything about what they are lead of inside out, they make decisions on design and implementation. They are able to support members of the team that are below them. They can delegate work to those in their team. Review the work done and offer constructive feedback. Communicate their ideas and vision to those below and above them. Present their ideas and concerns to management and stakeholders with ease.

So there are a few buzzwords in that but that is pretty much my personal experience of what a lead developer should be.

I think part of the problem is that there is no industry standard definition of what a lead developer is. It has been my experience it is abused in the ways I mentioned in my previous post.

Again this is all just my personal experience. We are all shaped by our history and though we try and not judge people automatically it will happen from time to time.
> The difference is that Brits feel poor when they come to the US, whereas Americans feel rich when they come to the UK.

Are you sure about that? For a start, converting USD to GBP will make their money go not as further

Might be just general British negativity, they probably feel miserable at Disneyland.
I think only very poor countries are overpopulated, because when there is no social security system and you can't save anything for yourself when you get old because you are poor, the only way is to get many children to hope that they will provide for you when you are old.

Rich countries which offer "free" (payed with taxes) social cares like Germany suffer from too many old people and too few children. So you have to offer more benefits for young families to get more children.

If you develop a social security net in poorer countries maybe families will start to get fewer children, because the state will care for you with no exception.

The whole thing is not a charade, but you're missing the point of it all. The FBI is trying to set legal precedent. If the FBI were trying to simply get data off the phone, they would've given it to the NSA.

"doing business with any US corporation is putting your data at risk."
Governments create laws that all organizations in that country must follow. You'd be better off saying that doing business with any corporation in any country is putting your data at risk.

Well, no. You stated it was list of films someone enjoyed.

But that's not what it is. It's a list that one of the top living film directors on the planet thinks that directing students at one of the leading film schools in the world should watch.

That's a different thing entirely.

Each one of these films has things directors can learn from by just watching them. Film being a visual medium and all.

Sure, some lectures can provide context, but the movies themselves are the actual content.
I've recently started using Flow alongside Nuclide IDE (a Facebook-developed suite of Atom extensions), which allows me to easily see the type of a given variable.

What's nice is how much types can be inferred from just a handle of type annotations. My editor can start pointing out potential bugs at the cost of relatively little effort on my part, and that's a good place to be.

The interruption of art is deceptive with nuance and esoteric means. Simply reading Shakespeare doesn't provide someone with understand of the proposed wisdom behind the text.
I'll take this a step further. Ultimately Director James Comey and the FBI want a future where it is illegal or impractical to deploy strong encryption without key escrow.

Few companies, actually practically no one, will offer encryption if it's going to cost them tremendous amounts of money and engineer time to hack each and every device on a piecemeal basis. The siren call of key escrow or an alternate decryption key that they maintain will be irresistible. Or the industry will move back in the direction of unencrypted devices, which would be just fine by the FBI.

I wonder how many instagram users have a manageable number of friends and can easily scroll and see all new photos. Now I'm worries I'll miss photos from friends because the feed re-order them.
Ya, this. I can't even log into my ICBC account online because it requires a stupid SMS verification with a number I can't use in the USA. Some US banks do this as well, and I stayed clear of them.
Plus, every electronic form of payment includes fees. Their sole purpose of existing is to collect fees to pay the owning company's investors.

The effect is that in the middle of all monetary transactions, there is a mandatory and forced private profit scheme. That's insane.

Cash is free to use, and bears no intrinsic fees. The same is often true of personal checks in the USA. While these are the most labor intensive ways of transferring money, they don't incur any intrinsic shrinkage in their use. All the digital and fully automated systems of transferring money are more expensive at face value.
You're assuming someone is intelegent by being a person and proving a hard problem. Dumb programs prove things without issue. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_theorem_proving

I like your "worker dormitories". Alternatives include rooming house, single room occupancy (SRO), flophouse, communal apartment, and cohousing, depending on the details.
Ugh, it sounds nice but it's just one side of the story. ATM limits are generally not in place because you can't access your money, but to protect the consumer from being forced at gunpoint to withdraw their entire balance to a thief. Through my work I've got eyes on a lot of people's bank accounts and I've seen plenty with balances of tens of thousands of dollars on their checking account. The ability to withdraw it with no oversight or protection with your card means walking around with your card means you're walking around with your entire bank balance in your wallet, ready to be stolen by anyone who forces you to withdraw, or simply reads your code and steals your card or skims your card. Same for companies rejecting bills, sounds ridiculous in a rich low-crime country, but you don't live in the 'real world' that the median citizen of the world does, you live in a tiny little paradise in comparison. In most other places, retailers don't want to hold that kind of cash in stores, it's dangerous to them.

The gold is great, although it makes little sense for every bank in the world to hold gold. One or two dealers per city is fine, and guess what, they exist already and they don't have to be a bank. I really do like it, though, would definitely like it but I don't think it makes much business sense. Beyond that, it's reasonably easy to simply get exposure to the gold price as investors. The only reason to buy physical gold then is either because you're pretty paranoid about the 'system' collapsing, which is fine although not my cup of tea. The other is for tax avoidance. Let's just say I don't think it's a coincidence this service is offered in Switzerland, and that this may tell you something about the real use case of this service. It may work in a rich country with a finance industry that brings in big bucks, but Swiss policies simply don't work at scale in other countries, and have indeed cost other countries a lot of money who are in a way subsidising Switzerland. (I know because I've worked in that very industry and I've seen how it works. Although I must note, it's certainly not the only country to do this, and it's all changing for the better pretty quickly).

Anyway thanks for sharing your personal experience, I'm sure you know the above and aren't claiming Switzerland is some kind of model for the rest of the world, but that's what it appears to suggest.

I didn't catch that, thanks for point it out. Like another commenter said: this seems to be an in-place upgrade which is not advisable for major PostgreSQL versions. Additionally, it looks like this involves restarting the cluster (downtime). The Database Migration Service looks like it wouldn't require downtime.
> why the ecosystem looks like this

It is a symptom that the platform is woefully broken, hence the multitude of solutions to try to make it workable. Neither of which work particularly well, so there is always room for one more to 'solve' it slightly differently.

The same story played out during the early 2000s, before rich JavaScript applications were really an option, with non-JS based web frameworks. In Java alone there was Struts, WebWork, Wicket, Tapestry, JSF, Spring MVC, and countless others, each one sucking more than the other. They are all pretty much dead now because people realized the insanity of trying to build a GUI using a page request based approach.

This problem will not be fixed because JavaScript itself is the problem. It simply is too limited a language to be used for large and complex applications. The proof of this is that JavaScript is used for exactly zero non-browser runtime environments (discounting node.js whose only appeal is to use the same language on the server as in the browser).

The attempts to compile down to JS is the best we can currently do, which is why the best and most complex JavaScript applications that have ever been made have been done this way, but obviously a native solution will be the better solution.

The best bet would be an intermediate layer, a kind of JVM for the web, on which a thousand languages could run. That is bound to be a long way out though, so we have at least a few more years of pointless JavaScript framework churn.
"No other language does anything remotely resembling that kind of thing". Have you ever worked on a Java EE project?
Actually the web doesn't look too bad without javascript. It's not only safer, but you get no annoying pop ups, no text moving as you read it, etc. You basically get raw HTML+CSS.

Except when some idiot thought that he needed to create a complex SPA to render a blog article. But is the opinion of such an idiot really worth reading?

This definitely depends on the specific job, but in general there are more opportunities for high paying positions and a higher salary ceiling. It also depends on where you want to live within London and the kinds of activities you want to take part in. For me, I've found I have way more disposable income since the move to London as I had a huge salary increase from my previous job in Edinburgh. Although I have much, much less free time and would say I'm generally more unhappy
How to Generate leads and convert into your early customers?
In this case, I too have to question the NPM / Bower (yes, it's optional, but IMHO shouldn't be needed). The CSS file is basic flexbox. I think it would be a bit embarrassing if you were a web developer, and had to npm / bower a library to avoid writing trivial flexbox CSS.

This isn't a complicated, full featured grid... those definitely need dependency management.

If you are new to flexbox, the CSS file is a helpful demonstration I guess. Flexbox is way more powerful, and far more flexible, than this grid alone though.
It is very useful in work cultures where people don't do PRs all the time (particularly out of laziness or to do hotfixes), but you still want to comment on the change.

This has nothing to do with "the crime" of stealing a banner. I suspect the story was made-up not by the student but by some official in government. To them, it sounds more plausible that someone would do this for a 10000 payout than simply for the satisfaction of having kick-ass dorm-room swag from North Korea.

Whatever the story is, it doesn't matter. The NK government is perhaps batshit crazy, but they're not stupid. The detainee is going to be a bargaining chip.
I'm coming to that realisation pretty quickly
The entire discussion here is not about Apple circumventing a court ruling. They are appealing the ruling, and until the appeal is complete they don't have to perform any action.

Right now, it would be very unconstitutional (a denial of due process) to prevent Apple from appealing the ruling.
It's dumb, because most of those little shim libraries are things that would be part of the language's core library in a less shitty language.

Then when you have all these little libraries, you've got to go down the bundling path (and navigate the bewildering array of almost but not quite the same tools), because making 47 HTTP GETs to grab < 1KB JS files is slow. Theoretically, some of those might be cached, but the churn-rate means that virtually no one will have the exact version of a library that you require pre-cached in their browser.
You don't actually need any new clever algorithms at all. At least on Windows, you can simply sign code with multiple certificates.

I didn't know the rooming house had gone away, for one thing. For another, this sounds less like the boarding house my father lived in than the group houses my friends I lived in. Obama wasn't born in my father's boarding house days, and I don't think he was out of college when I lived in group houses.
I think there are different models for conceptualising and expressing programs that are more appropriate for different situations, and in that sense we will always have specialisation.

However, I think in the future we will increasingly consider programming models separately from the language used to express them, and in that sense there will be completely general programming languages. Powerful bases to create the models themselves as libraries and DSLs.
I guess smart taxation can be called questioning authority, but claiming moral highground for [1] will be a bit hard.
There are different theories how Apple was able to struck gold with iPhone, but their success is what forcing them taking their stance. I find a bit disingenuous trying to spin this story how Apple trying to do the right thing for the people, glorifying for profit companies goes against common sense. They are doing what they deem best protects their interests, if it happens to lead to better privacy is merely a side effect, and I would argue it is thanks to all the people who were raising awareness.

> you can prove common algorithms halt by showing they're structurally recursive (the recursive parameter always get smaller) or some metric always decreases on the recursive call (e.g. the sum of the length of two lists always gets smaller on the recursive call)

Right, but those are just special cases of the same technique - you can combined them by using dependent types to lift the list length to the type level and then this metric technique is just a special case of structural recursion.

Thanks, I just put the js in the webpage directly. That should fix it.
Wah wah. I disagree. I'm tired of seeing this in Enterprise:

* 100 page Word document. 200 page Word document. Take your pick.

* 99% of it is clearly cut and pasted from somewhere else and contains information absolutely incorrect and irrelevant to the task at hand because it was accidentally included from the last document they cut and paste from, but people are afraid to remove it.

* Someone has manually typed in a few lines into a table (oooh, so THAT'S the temporary IP address of the server which will almost certainly change at a later date!) As it's buried in the document there's no way to extract, verify, or update it. It will be listed with a bunch of other IP addresses from the prior cut and paste, and if you get a server name in there, it's probably wrong too.

* They've also handed off the effort to any Architect, probably one of the people I see sitting in Visio day in day out drawing those diagrams of how a computer connects to the network. In a VM data centre. Where it's meaningless and has no connection to reality. And where the moment it gets turned on someone will install software that connects to 20 other servers in ways that will never be described let alone in this document let alone in a diagram.

* Now, take that, cut and paste the whole thing keeping it 90% intact, call it a "Controlled Document", add in the names of some people at the front and last edit dates (where every document starts at version 0.1 and stays there for its entire lifetime), and now you've got a process manual! Hundreds of them! Thousands of them! Don't worry they were all based on whatever kind of template the business was branded with from year to year so you can kind of tell which decade they were first created.

* And they'll be dumped in shares because whatever multi-million dollar document management system was never used by users before being bought and never ever ever works. If you're lucky they might have version numbers or edit dates which don't correspond internally but get you 90% of the way to finding which one is current.

I get to see those holy manuals in Enterprise every day. You have no idea how bad it is.

Pick a third party format apart from Markdown? Are you fucking serious? Enterprise doesn't buy fucking third party software and everything is locked down so that you can't run your own. This is Windows for fuck's sake and there aren't even decent free Markdown editors for it anyway.

I write MY personal documentation in Markdown and I do it in a plain text editor. If I ever need to draw a diagram or put in a picture then I know I've fucked up and to backtrack. It's just plain text. That's what Markdown is for. "Not portable" my arse. About the only thing I wish was easier is tables. And they'd probably be ASCII tables at that.

So yeah. The argument against Markdown is bullshit.
