A really big and popular platform where Go isn't officially supported yet is the web (browser).

I'm trying to push that direction as much as I can by contributing to GopherJS [0], which is IMO our best bet until wasm [1] comes out and has adds support for GC languages [2].

I agree the rest of the platform support is absolutely fantastic. We have the big 3 desktop OSes, as well as iOS and Android already. But so much of what we do today is on the web, and I don't want to keep using JavaScript or to keep crossing the Go <-> JS boundary inconsistencies. That's not the kind of future I want to invest in.

I think micro services only came into existence because SOA was such a disaster, everyone confused SOA architectures with web services. These ended up being n-tier apps with a web service RPC (or several) in the middle just to add some unnecessary serialization and network transfer bottlenecks.

So far I've seen micro services repeat this trend almost exactly.

scikit-learn would likely fall into the category of "black box" frameworks the author mentions. If I understand correctly, this book will let the reader gain an understanding of the underlying algorithms from an intuitive standrpoint.
scikit-learn doesn't have a strong neural network codebase -- for anything not NN based they've largely got you covered (along with good infrastructure tooling for pipelines, cross validation, hyper-parameter searching etc.). Contrary to the impression you may get if you only follow the current buzzwords there is a great deal of value in machine learning right now beyond NNs and deep learning. On the other hand if deep learning is what you want to do, scikit-learn is not currently the best library for that.

I used to care about DRY to a _very_ great degree [0], and I still do. But I've come to realize DRY is much better to apply for high level _concepts_, ideas, and architectures, not unexported helper code.

It's unhelpful to try to apply it to little snippets of code and helpers. It's much less expensive to copy a snippet that's needed and duplicate it 1-2 times before starting to worry about factoring it out. By the time it's repeated 3+ times, you'll have a much better idea how to structure it.

Not trying to imply that it doesn't. It is a stressful situation for everyone. But the rates in women are significantly higher. (Ironically being a stay at home mum can be isolating and it might be better for her health to go back to work...) One analysis also found a small be definite correlation between a mother being depressed and also the father. The incidence varies strongly depending on risk factors (smoking, obesity, poverty, trauma), form 10-25% in women, and about 5-10% in men (though men tend to under self report..).

Thanks for the replies everyone. Turns out my understanding of what CF exactly did was a bit iffy.

@daenney - should've googled, and is that some online dig tool? or just you typing it that way?

@syshum - Huh, I remember read up on it about how piratebay was inaccessible in India because of CF

@angry-hacker - CF does offer free certs. I was actually wondering why only CF's certs worked with github pages, but not anyone else.

But I now understand that any one who thinks they're visiting the page on github pages are actually visiting CF's server because CF cached my stuff on github. And because it is on CF's server, they are able to show a HTTPS cert. I hope I got it right this time
A new "Access" option containing UberWAV appeared in my Uber app today in san francisco, with a popup telling me about it. So I guess it just rolled out to SF.

You do not go 250k on a single set of brakes. 100k is a pretty long interval for a heavy vehicle. Bearings typically last longer than that but in heavier cars they are known to go sooner, eg Audis eat wheel bearings.
Anecdata: a few years ago I did a road trip through NV, UT, and CO, and for large swathes of that trip, the only radio station that wasn't glassy-eyed christian pap ("if we make 20k donations, it can ONLY by god's will!" and similar) was NPR. If I lived in the area, it would be the only sane choice for radio...
It is worth noting that scikit-learn does value clear understandable implementations, so you can actually pop open the source code and expect to find something other than a black box. Now, in many cases you'll have optimization work that means a slightly less obvious approach is taken, but the scikit-learn maintainers do work hard to try and ensure that, if you want to learn, you should be able to open up the code and do so.

No point being animated then, as it's unlikely to be accurate.

I always wonder how accurate the WR line is for swimming events... is it linear, base on splits, or more granular?
One standout by far is Jim Hines in 1968 breaks 10 seconds which is not done again for 12 years and after which point seems to follow a linear downward march.
Agreed, it is a full sized sedan. I did find that frustrating until I got more familiar with it. It's great on the highway too... the roar of that V8 in the cabin with all the windows down at highway speed is about as close to nirvana as I'll ever come.

I have a spotlight but no push bar. I'd probably remove the spot, but it's very difficult to fill the hole as it leaves a gap in both the pillar and door.
> It is a solved problem.

This is debatable. Is it a problem that's solved well? Is it solved in the best way possible and there could never be a better way to do generics?

I think not. I think it's solved adequately, but not great. Compared to the other facilities that Go offers, generics are typically pretty messy and add significant complexity to the language, tools, parsing, reasoning, compilation times, etc.

> It's just not there because of.. What? Stubbornness? I'm not sure. But then it irritates me to copy paste stuff.

This statement is ill-informed. Have you seen https://github.com/golang/go/issues/15292 and https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/15292-...? Have you considered all the ways in which it will affect the language and the trade-offs?

Once generics are added to Go, they will forever be there, together with all the disadvantages and missed opportunities, and we'll have to live with them. That's not a thing to be taken lightly.

In comparison, maybe copying a little here and there isn't all that bad.
I don't know about the OP but I certainly have a problem with it myself.

It's a definition of poverty that a) means you can 'fix' poverty by making rich people poorer, and b) morally legitimises envy.
Uh, yeah, most people do go back to work "weeks after delivery" here if they intend to remain employed. My wife had a son in June and I got 5 days of paternity leave, after which I was back to work. Most women take more time off than that, but after a few weeks many of them are back in the workforce. Gotta get paid, don't get paid if you don't work. So, mission accomplished?

>Or maybe where slavery and indentured servitude hasn't quite been phased out?

The question of whether the Feds had authority to universally outlaw slavery presented a constitutional crisis that culminated in the Civil War, and there are still people who believe that such prohibitions are out of the scope of the federal government's powers (not that they believe slavery should still be legal, but they believe that per the 10th Amendment, the right to make that decision was reserved to the states). It's certainly not a simple matter.

What's wrong with naively drawing every box ordered by depth? This seems like a bunch of extra work for the same result?
The boxes are not necessarily cubes, so ordering them by depth of say, a central point, would not yield correct results for some edge cases (e.g. elongated boxes)
Wow, it would be nice if this one pans out. A friend of mine had open heart surgery, and he never once complained about pain in his chest or his leg or the fact that he couldn't push down and couldn't walk far or any of the other stuff that goes along with it.

But the side effects from the opioids were driving him crazy. After a few days he stopped taking them because the pain was easier to deal with.
Mea culpa, wasn't meant to be dumb though your observation is spot on. Consider it just literature, euphemistic - not ideal indeed - effort.
Then you misunderstood your own logical conclusion...

You said (and I quote):

Can't I just flip this around on you and say
you have an ethical obligation to spend some
of your time looking for vulnerabilities?

No. No, you can't. Unless you could convince me that my Dwarf Fortress skills have a similar magnitude of real-world affect as the vulnerabilities I've discovered on my own and decided to pocket for one reason or another.
Has anyone published something about the performance, scaling, and price of your HSM's? I'd like a link to it if it's available.
Yes, Science partly does this too (I'm a subscriber). They have relatively simple abstracts that try to serve both purposes -- summary for laymen and experts -- but they are tilted more towards a non-specialist summary. The layout of PNAS really emphasizes the Significance statement.

The best thing about Science for outsiders is the "Perspective" article that sometimes accompanies high-profile research articles. The "Perspective" places the more in-depth research article in context. It can be more valuable for an interested non-specialist than the research article itself.
My experience is that most devs don't even know how to use SVN correctly. I just had a conversation with someone waiting for me to finish something before they could branch. The idea that I could merge my change into their branch afterwards didn't occur to them.

Saying "more homes", "more zoning control", and "stop treating homes as investments" are all crazily opposite ideals from my perspective.

These demands are not very well scoped.
It's funny to see a book on "practical" filesystem design make absolutely no mention of FAT, even in its chapter on other filesystems, despite it being probably the most widely supported read-write filesystem --- or family of filesystems --- in existence.
Unless you're in enterprise software.

It's really easy for enterprise companies to get in the trap of making every customer a spacial snowflake, because they need to to get a half mil contract signed. And then the product becomes sorta shapeless, because each customer gets their own product... And you end up a consultancy instead of the platform/SaaS that you originally envisioned.
Interesting thought...

If Microsoft forces a new version on your computer, and you refuse the EULA, what happens?

Second thought - if you can't undo the install upon refusing the EULA, has Microsoft committed a crime of computer vandalism by (in effect) bricking your computer?

Something tells me that some smart lawyers are going to blast some holes in this. Especially from a trade secret perspective where some smart hacker gets his computer bricked (just go with me for a second :) ) and then has to reverse engineer something to access his data, but because he didn't accept the EULA, and MSFT took over his computer without explicit permission, he can't be sued for violating the EULA.

Now obviously IANAL, but you can see where this could go.

Are we talking startups? A lot of startups know python so that would make sense...I'd love to see some actual stories though.
Cool idea but without some verifiable data I have to think that the claims made in the article are wildly optimistic.
Not to take a stance one way or the other, but I can provide background on why (in SF at least) these aren't mutually exclusive.

More homes means either building on new land or adding density to existing land. There isn't much "new" land available in SF, but knocking down existing buildings is still very risky. Even if your proposed development meets every existing zoning regulation, it can be shot down.

So "more zoning control" here means putting more control in the actual zoning regulations, as opposed to allowing anyone to try and stop the process via ballot measure or legal challenge.

Increasing supply (building more or denser housing) will naturally decrease prices, which is where the investment bit comes in.

Group variables that all track the same thing into an object.

So you csn have saved_state.tracked_picture.

Makes it clear what group something is in and what the name of that data is meant to be.

Much easier to parse.
It had a lot of features for the time (64-bit, journaling, etc.), but one of the most used features in BeOS was that arbitrary metadata could be attached to files, exposed in Tracker or other applications, and could be used to search for files. One of the examples of the time were scripts to take MP3 ID3 tags and store them as metadata. Email was stored as individual files on the file system, and the email client was just a Tracker window with columns displaying email relevant metadata.

Spotlight on OS X supports similar metadata storage and querying, but it's built on top of HFS+, not directly into the file system (and surprise, was built by Dominic Giampaolo, who worked on BeFS, author of the linked book).

WinFS claimed a lot of similar features shortly after Be was acquired, but to my knowledge, no file system has provided similar features _and_ had spextensive application support to leverage them.
I don't have any experience using the old app, but I previously used Soundcloud's web product. The main purpose was to listen to music made by more esoteric artists. For more mainstream stuff, I turned to YouTube. Obviously this setup was suited poorly for mobile.

Now I use the Soundcloud and Spotify apps for roughly the same respective purposes (Spotify replacing YouTube). I prefer the simplicity of the Soundcloud app over the feature-rich but complex Spotify app. There's plenty of data not displayed in the Soundcloud app that might be shown in the Spotify app, but good luck becoming consistent at finding that data.

Overall I'm happy they cleaned up the app and dropped the old webapp features.

Twice the price was an exaggeration. However, as some one driving a XPS 13 dev edition (the original) right now they are definitely not priced as "cheap" notebooks. Someone has to write the drivers (or source components with good drivers) and make sure they work properly as configured. In the case of the XPS 13 dev edition Dell absolutely puts resources into at least trying to get that right. The laptop runs really well on Linux and many many laptops today do not because of driver issues. This is not news to anyone who has been using Linux longer than 5 minutes on real consumer PC hardware. In the old days, if you complained about hardware compat people would tell you to hack on the driver!
I can highly recommend reading the "Meaningful Names" chapter in Clean Code for practical and useful advice on this topic (some good notes here http://www.itiseezee.com/?p=83)

Interestingly, most the themes I tried didn't render well on my screen. Elements clipping or rendering on top of each other in funny ways, stuff like that - all the typical stuff that happens when the designer didn't consider how the page might render on a smaller screen than the one they have.

I'm rocking a 13" MacBook with the browser in full screen mode, so I suspect my screen's dimensions are well within the range of typical users. The fact that I encounter sites like this on a daily basis is an eternal source of wonder.
Don't be so quick to assume micros services involve message queuing. For most it seems to just be an elaborate RPC mechanism (unfortunately).
Using a depth buffer would also side-step the issue of cycles and support intersecting blocks.
When I was looking into Chinese browsers two years ago, a number of them did not correctly validate certificates on HTTPS sites. They might not need to burn a CA. It should also be noted that HPKP will ignore issues when the cert is signed by a locally installed CA.
I was an early user of Coursera. I really enjoyed and completed three classes and thought it was the future of education. Since then, they've tried to monetize and in the process thrown quality out the window and ignored their users. I think Koller leaving is just another sign that coursera is run by its investors, in it for money instead of making a great education platform. The site no longer has any value to me, and I haven't even browsed the course list in over a year. I'm sure Koller is making a good decision, moving on from it to something she can be passionate about again. Best of luck.
They can certainly be in opposition in some scenarios, but in the case of SF, they fit together in a way that's coherent, if not well defined by the article.

Zoning control != zoning restriction. Control over zoning can mean things like mixed use, autonomy at the lower levels (versus "our hands are tied by group X" situations), and issuing permits on a "default yes barring interrupts" basis, instead of a "default no pending complex approvals".

Treating homes as investments is what leads to most NIMBY ways of thinking, which while harmful to the region at large, make perfect sense on a homeowner level. Many SF land owners have bought in at overvalued levels and continue to pay or receive overvalued rents. Motions that would make the city more affordable on the whole threaten the size of their returns, so people who treat homes as investments are often in direct opposition to what would be good for the less rich.

TL;DR the 3 pieces you mention can coexist as "more homes, of more varieties, regardless of the fact that will threaten existing homeowners' ROI"

Dynamic form(XFA) to Standard form conversion feature is improved in this release. It has also improved algorithm that reads XFA configuration sections, also several issues with positioning and rendering of XFA Draw elements were fixed. In addition to above improvements, this version also includes some other important bug fixes as well. There have been specific improvements regarding HTML to PDF, PDF to HTML, XML to PDF and PDF to PPTX.
Zero Frequency Isolation Field?
Working on theory involving the frequency of matter. In order to change the molecular frequency in my experiments, I would have to be able to isolate the test matter from any and all outside frequencies and influences. Preferably a zero-frequency containment sphere with a radius of 9 feet. Is this even theoretically possible? Must have empirical evidence before moving to next stage involving computers and electricity.
> So "more zoning control" here means putting more control in the actual zoning regulations, as opposed to allowing anyone to try and stop the process via ballot measure or legal challenge.

The phrase "more zoning control" sounds like increasing the amount and complexity of zoning regulations, rather than, as you suggest, removing unwritten rules.
