Or expectations have increased, both in terms of accuracy and in keeping costs low.

Consider that e.g. in London the old route indicators on the buses used odometers. Which worked for telling you were along the route a bus was. Most of the time. But didn't tell you how long it takes until the bus reaches the next stop other than on average, as it would tell you nothing about traffic etc.

Today London buses don't use just GPS to replace it either, because that's nowhere near good enough. See the "Tracking" section here [1].

I'm not going from backend to frontend or desktop apps. I'm going backend to backend.

I guess part of my point is I'm made uncomfortable by the encroachment of Javascript into areas where it's not particularly well suited, and the historical baggage it must carry into those areas. It's the when you have Javascript as a hammer, everything looks like a nail issue. I don't think my organization is unique in its embrace of Javascript-everything, either.
The things you list are plans, not accomplishments. And I certainly didn't expect extraordinary accomplishments. I just don't understand what in Sam's history warrants a New Yorker article over, say, that of CEOs who have competently run their business for the last 2 years.

I love this idea.

First, your point about controlling the message when you pass is TERRIFIC. How many of us have seen opportunistic acquaintances take over the memorial of a dead loved one. It really, really sucks, especially when the acquaintance colors everything through their own beliefs, and those beliefs contradict the beliefs/opinions of the deceased.

Then you gotta think about the potential to send individualized messages to your loved ones. Damn that would be touching.

Plus, what about stuff like Mark Twain's journals. Supposedly he had written much that he feared to publish because it was too incendiary. He thought it'd be ok for it to be published after his death. However his estate chose to keep it private.

Next you can imagine the fun you could have planning your account to 'haunt' people you didn't want to say nice stuff to.

Good shit
Purely speculatively, I would guess that is doesn't, naturally. But religious indoctrination is extremely common. So, it makes sense that if any given person is experiencing a mental break that there's a reasonably high chance they will have a religious background rife with grand concepts to pull from.

The one person I knew personally who broke with reality wasn't religious, and instead seemed to be pulling ideas from her previous goals and highlights of her life. She described a sort of ideal version of her life, the best things she could think of in the moment, regardless of consistency or reality. It makes sense that if one were raised in a religious household, one would talk about being chosen by God or some such instead of how you were getting straight A's in school and getting hired by 5 different places.

Graduate Data Analyst(Amsterdam) : http://grnh.se/vhj25q1
Good observation.

One possible explanation is they are not sure about what that means.

As an example, to me that sounds like the Javascript used in the browser. Is that the same as the Javascript I get from NodeJS? Which is "plain javascript"?

I think it represents semantic confusion and not experience. But that is just a guess.
I lived under communism for 17 years as I was born in such a country. I think you have a wrong idea about what communism was, I hope you will eventually try to find out and wake up.
See, I'm not sure that's the case.

When I started writing apps using Cocoa, for example, I had a pretty good experience. Yeah, I fought some of the tooling that I wasn't really used to, but given that it was quite different from my backgrounds in web and embedded development, I was overall quite pleased with how easy and more importantly how obvious everything was. I found this to be the same when I wrote applications in Qt, and also when starting to work with newer languages (like Go).

This contrasts very much with the Javascript ecosystem. Despite having been a nominal web developer for approaching a decade, I am still consistently baffled by how difficult it is to get to grips with how everything is put together. There seem to be dozens of different workflows, none of which are entirely compatible with one another. There are bad configuration formats all over. Every tool seems to be broken into 200 different parts that subsequently have to be reassembled in order to implement a working pipeline. Documentation is erratic at best, and so on.

I used to feel pretty productive with Javascript, back when the web was a bit more 'Wild West'. But as it has developed as an application platform, it feels more and more like I am fighting the tools, rather than having them help me. That's not a nice feeling.
So, how do you suggest encrypting the data to be sent, while still allowing for the purpose of the service, which is to distribute the data to people later on? The best I can think of off the top of my head is a dedicated PGP key, and two DMS services, one with the data, one with the key. Otherwise you're always at least exposing the data to the DMS service.

The way I read it is that each question is independent.

So I can say I've used Angular and would never use it again while also saying I've used React and would use it again.

This is really a pretty decisively positive stat for React. Very few of its users would never use it again, while a lot of people have tried Angular and abandoned it. (This certainly matches my experience and anecdotes I've heard in the community.)

We can impose salary caps--it just means that the people who are really good at this stuff will play in a different league. If there were another NBA where LeBron would make 10x his salary, he'd play in it. All the best players would. And then that league would be more successful.

Now instead of "league" and "LeBron," substitute in "country" and "the world's best corporate executives" and you'll see why it's a bad idea. We want the world's best here.
Never heard of the survey maybe the data is biased to only approach people on the silicon valley where technologies are used as if they were current season premium fashion cloths.
Are you saying that it can form a good estimate of the conditional probability ? I can believe that if the sampling process preserves the conditional.

Otherwise one would have to make assumptions about (or in other words, model) the corruption process. The bias compensation machinery then has to be deliberate, wont happen on its own.

Some sampling processes do not modify the conditional. In those cases no special machinery would be required.
Conceptually, that's not really true: you just transform the pre-ES state into one or more events (in an basic accounting system, which is pretty much the simplest ES system, long-predating the name for the model, this is just creating "starting balance" entries as transactions.)

In practice, that can be challenging, but it doesn't seem fundamentally more challenging than any other legacy data conversion effort.

I appreciate that for the next year when there is a framework war I will have a link to shut it down.

Typically a newbie will ask about which framework they should learn. There will be a bunch of "it depends" and "try them out" responses, and then someone will take pity and pick a clear direction based on their experience.

Well and good.

But this way the newbie can learn from the actual experience of lots of other people. Data, for short.

Get out the vote campaigns are always in favor of Democrats, because the young and poor tend to be the ones who don't vote and tend to vote Democrat. Back in the 90s MTV had "Rock the Vote" (actually it was a progressive non-profit who partnered with MTV) and their goal was the same.
I once encountered a young man who was reading the Necronomicon, a cheap and utterly fictional paperback put out to tie-in with the Lovecraft mythos. It's a prop to make a few bucks, no more real than a plastic Star Trek phaser.

Something about the way he was reading it caught my attention, so I asked him, "You know that's fake, right?" To my astonishment, he began to protest and describe how "they dug it up in an archeological site" or something. The chilling thing was he really seemed into it.

I left thinking, "There's the formation of a psychotic reality, right there in front of me." Dunno what I could have done about it.

For the record, you don't need to use Typescript for Angular 2, you can just use regular JS (or Dart for that matter). The documentation is definitely biased toward Typescript at the moment, but I anticipate the situation improving as the framework matures.

GPS is insufficient to give accurate enough estimates these days. It may or may not work depend on your local routes and stops, but it's too imprecise for a lot of locations and traffic conditions to give decent precision. It's good as a "first approximation" and if you don't have anything better. Most systems today end up integrating data from multiple different sensors to improve on gps.

SEEKING WORK - Barcelona, Spain - Remote

C++ and iOS Developer.

Lately I've been involved a lot with music and sound apps. Good knowledge of JUCE and Qt C++ frameworks.

My last two projects involved refactoring existing C++ codebases (code dealing with audio and networking) into reusable libraries and then building native iOS applications on top of them, bridging C++ and Swift with Objective-C++ `proxies`.

I enjoy developing iOS user interfaces and have written quite a bit of UI code for various operating environments.

I have 3 apps in AppStore.

Some Blockchain/Crypto experience.

I also enjoy using dynamic languages - I'm fluent in Javascript, CoffeeScript (I've integrated V8 into applications) and a Clojure/ClojureScript enthusiast.

I use these languages to build tools and idea prototypes.

I've worked in big corps, but now I'm enjoying working with people directly and sharing my knowledge and experience with them.

I may be wrong but I also credit that MySQL was way easier to administer and didn't have the concept of schema similar to Oracle's.

You installed, ran the "mysql" client application to connect to the server and off you go. PostgreSQL requires you to run as a different user to configure it.

As I said, I might be wrong, but that is my impression using PostgreSQL on Linux.
So far I found this mandatory explicit conversion to only get in the way. Caused me a bug even (in Go), because it made it too noisy and very unclear where the value was unnecessarily trimmed.

It's analogous to how everybody jumped to document-based databases a few years ago and gradually developed an RDBMS-like schema system enforced only by coding conventions.
