As specific organs reduce functioning, some seniors living at home need to revise their recipes to avoid complex collections of foods just as TIAs and other problems reduce their ability to deal with the challenges. To-go food does not work. For some families, hospital-style food may mimic the diet they are accustomed to, but for immigrants, traditional hospital food may be horrific. Older people tend to rely on a very limited set of dishes, so that custom tailoring recipes may be cost effective. There are dietitian-run food delivery services, but not ones that create meals from clients' recipes. Affluent market tends to live away from their parents. The pain point is my co-worker telling me, "Food is killing my dad, and there is nothing I can do about it unless I quit this job and move home, which would be disastrous for my spouse and kids. As far as I can tell, I have to know how to solve the problem and just sit here, 3,000 miles away, and watch him die." I think this market would pay a premium.
There isn't, but remember, the whole point of signing something is to put it out there in the open. If an employee grabs older work, signs it with his personal-project key, and then tried to sue the employer for using code which belonged to him, then the employer could easily show a court the timestamps/logs which prove that the code was originally signed over to the employer and thus belonged to the employer under contract. And if the employee is secretly signing work with his own key over time before signing it with the employer's certificate, then his own record of ownership will be in parallel to the employer's record of ownership, thus proving that the work belongs to the employer under contract.

The whole point is how to distinguish work that the employee is not signing over to the employer at all - because it's originally a personal project. Then the employer will have no record of the code being signed over to the employer, and the proof clearly shows the code belonging to the employee.

I agree it's probably wise to separate the two, but it's very hard to prove you worked on company equipment.

My personal projects are all in my dropbox, which is synced to all my computers (both home and work). That means all the code for my side projects is always sitting on my work computer as well. I doubt that makes a difference.

Rust having strings that are utf-8 is a guarantee and as such allows uou to do very efficient operations on them. Puthon gives you a vagie guarantee that it gives you O(1) access to something like a glyph.

These are very different and incompatible text models.

At no point is Python's text model fast or overly useful.
>What a load of bollocks. For new projects this only matters if libraries aren't ported, which they are for the most part. For old projects, either you're in a situation where you can spend time porting your code to Python 3, or you don't; but as TFA mentioned pep-404, the writing has been officially on the wall ever since 2011 so at that point you have to admit you did choose to incur tech debt and do nothing about it, so the claimed loss of productivity is on you.

I call BS (to counter your "bollocks").

Whether the "writing was on the wall" or not, doesn't change the fact that people had to actively port their old code if they wanted it to run on 3.

Sometimes that code could run into the tens of thousands (or even millions for large companies) of lines.

And why would they do it (and at a great cost and time effort)? For the marginal improvements Python 3 brings?

The "writing has been on the wall" is not an excuse, it's mostly blackmail ("port or else you wont run on 3, and we'll stop the 2.x line"). And most people didn't (and shouldn't) fall for that.
Kelly has almost no use for your random small investor. Kelly is all about when you have a very good idea of your edge over the market (first assumption is that you have an edge, very few do).

If you're a bedroom trader, it's unlikely you have enough data and a big enough trading history to accurately gauge your market edge. You might well be up 30% in the last year, but that does not mean you've got a 30% edge.

When you do have a good estimate of edge, then kelly can come into play. But even then, the theoretical basis of kelly is that money in infinitely indivisible and you can trade at tiny fractions of your total bankroll. So, you normally need to bet less than the kelly stake, but how much less? It's a black art in markets where edges vary with time, along with your skill, perceived skill and measurable skill.
I think this argument is flawed. Analogy: there will always be people who steal stuff; this doesn't mean we should accept the practice, and discard any preventive measures.

It bugs me as well. The problem is that while 'just do it' is intuitively appealing, thinking things through is a discipline that needs to be actively chosen and learned, but who is teaching that? You don't have to spend much time in the software development blogosphere to see that there are quite a few people who seem to believe that thinking ahead is waterfall is anathema. This may not be a proper interpretation of Agile/TDD (I could argue otherwise), but it seems to be a fairly common one.

For the OP, I would say the point is to be skeptical of dogmatic claims about the proper way to develop software.

As a junior security employee, I am still trying to figure out where to take my career. I have thought about various different paths: pentesting, development (JS, C, python, exploit...), reverse-engineering, web-app hacking, network-engineering and I cannot for the life of me decide where to focus my studies. I have reservations about pentesting because For example, I think a lot of it is unskilled work (e.g., pressing scan on nessus, clicking exploit on Burp) or work which will be automated in the near future. So for those who are more experienced than me, or for those who can share some insight on security-careers, what tech-careers would you choose and what would you study if you were starting right now?

>Please, do not put obsolete software on life support.

Regarding adoption, it's 3.0 that's obsolete, and 2.7 that's vibrant. Even for new code (they conveniently only count totally greenfield projects, but most new code is written in fact to work with established 2.x codebases under Python 2, not as a totally greenfield project).
From my experience, it's Logitech.
> Since Python strings have no fixed encoding, but choose "the most efficient one" (heuristically) when decoding, they can cope better than a fixed UTF-8 encoding in these cases.

That is wrong. Python can never pick the most efficient encoding unless you decode from latin1.

Gross profits don't include things like R&D and Sales just the Revenue - cost of goods sold. They have a negative net profit margin. They are hemorrhaging cash, and have a lot of debt. The have negative share holder equity. They are in a bad financial position. Therefore it is kind of commendable they have some one trying to improve their linux drivers. They can't just "Afford" to just throw more people at the problem because of their financial issues.
The sad part here is that these phones cost like $200 (edit: sorry, read $20) to manufacture per unit. The $750 price tag is mostly in the SW and supporting infra. The guy talking for a couple of hours with customer support actually soon becomes more expensive for the company than just taking their word for it and shipping a replacement. And that's before you count in the brand devaluation when the guy finds out their 'premium service' is just thin air, and especially the PR damage once you happen to screw a tech reporter over.

Where I live most home insurance companies have adopted a better approach to customer service. They maintain a central registry of claims. Most of the time if you submit a claim they just pay you without requiring any proofs of damage or receipts. But once you start abusing the system (unusually large or high number of claims), they will get difficult. But for the honest, average guy the customer service experience is just phenomenal most of the time (submit claim online and receive insurance to bank account only hours later.) The brand value for having a 'nice' insurance company exceeds the small number of invalid claims that happen to slip through in the process.
>Python 2.7 is outdated by Python 3.5. The fact that there is a bugfix release doesn't change that.

That's just what the lead project team declared. Not what the user base asked for or wants.

>You can still program in C 89 or FORTRAN 77 or COBOL 74 (and no doubt there is somebody still supporting compilers and runtimes for those), but they are all obsolete standards.

That's because people stopped using them organically. That's not the case with Python 2 -- Python 3 was declared "the new hotness" with a decree from above.

It's like as if the W3C comes out with some incompatible HTML NG on their own and says that HMTL 5 is "end of line", giving billions of webpages the middle finger.

Even worse, it's also as if HTML NG only had some marginal improvements over HTML 5, and was otherwise the same.

>"they don't want high density housing to ruin the neighborhood".

In all likelihood they probably just don't want more supply driving down prices.

If you've got a $1 million mortgage on a $1.4 million bungalow you're not exactly going to be pleased if the housing crisis comes to an abrupt end and you're plunged deep into negative equity.

There seems to be some tiptoeing around this elephant when it comes to the politics of land development though.
Another take on this is that Google, an advertising company, is regretting removing about 780k links of potentially very interesting content. This is a very slippery slope for them, because it threatens their core business.

Wine is a godsend for the still very lackluster linux desktop experience.

I just started listening to music locally rather than relying on streaming music again.

I used to do curate my music on Windows with MP3Tag, which lets you import data from 3rd party services, has an amazingly fast and efficient UI, and lets you quickly batch rename files based on their tags. I looked at all the Linux alternatives and none of them even come close.

I used to use foobar2000 to listen to music. Again, on Linux, nothing comes close.

Both worked out of the box at native speed on wine. Hats off to the devs.
I came here to say exactly this ... you're better off upgrading your systems as you can. There's one point missing above - do you really want to use a version of Python that's maintained by one person and of unknown quality? You're better off staying on 2.7 if you can't afford to upgrade.

Two Reasons Functional Style Is Slow in JavaScript implentations
The prevailing theory is that it's a manufacturing defect in a small number of early devices (mostly ones shipped around launch day) related to some flaw in the anodization process. Since it hasn't happened to enough devices to warrant a class action, it doesn't make it on Apple's radar so it's just "cosmetic damage". In some cases Apple Store/Authorized Retailer staff has blamed it on third-party cases or protectors, but I had mine in an Apple case.

Very interesting research. Unfortunately we all should have learned by now that it pays to be skeptical of all provocative social science findings until replicated...
That's not for the manufacturer to decide. Python 3 is like Coca Cola declaring that the New Coke is all people should drink, and stopping production of classic coke.

Python 2 is still being "worn" by millions of programmers, and is what runs in the biggest installations. This includes new code written for those installations, that it's written to run in the same 2.x environment.

Arm the quarterbacks with a 2 shot .22 derringer.

You get the strategy of knowing how many shots the QB has taken in the game, all sorts of new statistics can be compiled for the fans who like that, and you're more or less guaranteed to have one to four serious injuries per game.

The QB now has to figure out defensive and offensive aiming as well as ball management. Tackles and backers need to factor in taking a shot versus possible possession.

Not to mention that QBs get arrested during most games. There's going to be a lot more substitution.

Really, if you're going to talk about "neutering" the game by making it less dangerous to the players, then obviously it makes the game much more manly if you up the stakes this way.
Last day of hot metal typesetting at The New York Times (1978) [video]
Perhaps I chose my words poorly, and we'll call them net-tax-payers and net-tax-receivers instead. The people involved will be pretty aware of which situation they're in.

Besides, total social spending in the US is about 2.5 trillion dollars, or about $650/person/month. That's what basic income would realistically pay (assuming illegal immigrants get nothing, otherwise it'd be $630). The flip side of this would be to kill all government support programs. No more Obamacare, no more social security, no more veteran pensions, nothing like that. All replaced by that pitiful amount.

Good luck paying cancer treatments from that. Hell, good luck paying getting bandaged after a simple scratch from a fall for that amount. If you don't cover medical insurance, then of course it would have to be less (to be exact it would be $360 per month per person).

Now you could say cancer treatments will become cheaper. And sure enough they will. However, even Martin Shkreli worked with a profit margin of around 30%. So ... if you make the treatments more than 30% cheaper (assuming all of pharma is as much of a scumbag as he is, which it isn't, 10% is more common), you can say goodbye to improvements. They won't happen. For quite a few treatments there is an actual reason to be that expensive (e.g. paying for a surgeon's training, 10 years of living, ... and then having them operate, with a staff of 5 each trained for 5 years, in an impeccably clean room, fresh expensive equipment that mostly gets thrown away after one use because it's just too risky otherwise, ... Oh, and don't forget : you replaced most spending with basic income, so you can't just fund that as well. This would have to be funded from that $650/person/month). You'd also have to accept market forces. You live in a town with less than 52 cancer patients per year ? (assuming 1 treatment takes about a week of work) No cancer treatment for you without long traveling, not included, of course, in the price.

You cannot just legislate your way out of economic problems. It doesn't work. When law fights economics, economics wins, and the whole country suffers. See the many attempts at doing it anyway, e.g. in Venezuela most recently. Or to put it another way: basic income will not stop the poor from suffering. Only having them do something useful enough to give them a good life will.

>You can still download the operating system for an Amiga, yet the Amiga is obsolete (despite diehards still using 31 year old computers)

That's because nobody (very few) use the Amiga.

On the contrary, very many, much more than use Python 3, use Python 2.

So, it's not like the Amiga at all.

It's more like as if e.g. Apple suddenly decided to stop producing laptops because "iPads are the future", and forcing these down everybody's throat.
From a limited dataset:
They get by. Find balance. When you ask them for a coffee, they tell you they don't have the $5 to take the subway to meet you and are very sorry for that.

Some have other problems they are trying to work around, and all their energy goes to that and not inventing the next quantum equation.

They drop out of being the hottest developers in the software industry, they stop being the top performers in the financial sector.

They can get back, but it requires support. Our western society isn't optimized for such support but for grinding the rest down.

So, it's not where they go, it's how do the rest of us, help them?

Google also is naming their products the English word and basically taking ownership. So Google Photos becomes Photos. Google Home instead of something like Echo. Google WiFi instead of OnHub.

But we are capitalist and Google is using the system in a smart way to grow their business.

So Google is a verb and now they will own more and more English nouns.

I can not fault Google.

On privacy and service capabilities. It is also about choice. If you are not concerned with Google having your data as you feel it does allow improved offering then you should be able to.

I get some think willing to share your private data is insane there are some of us that that would like companies like Google to do more with the data. If I am going to get an ad I prefer one on the NSX Acura than a tampons ad.

claims to have one that will run on modern windows
The title is a bit sensationalist.

I have < $1,000 invested in home IoT (security sensors, a couple of light switches, garage door opener, thermostat, and the hub) and have been very happy with it.

Personally I see IoT as augmentation not total replacement. Don't replace lights/switches for the sake of it - wait until you have a valid use. Buy devices that use commonly used standards and you should avoid vendor lock in issues.

IoT threads always get the "Why would you need a smart house" answers...

Some of my use cases so far...

- Remotely control home heating - peace of mind when on vacation and being able to sit at DIA and come home to a warm house is awesome

- Used "smart lighting" when I had infants in the house during the frequent middle of the night trips to the kitchen/laundry etc

- Remotely open the garage door - useful if a family member calls in to pick up something when no one is home. Useful when HomeLink in the car fails for some reason.

- Security system - we've had issues with neighbourhood kids trying to get into an external hot tub. The security system turns on external lights when there is motion and notifies me. If someone tries to open a door/window is sets off an alarm and turns on a small lamp so I don't wake up in pitch black conditions.

- Water sensors under sinks and by the sump pump - our house was destroyed by a leak several years ago. The peace of mind from having this monitored is worth it alone for my family.

- Lighting - external holiday lights. Also hooked up the security system to give anyone prowling around a festive surprise (my long term goal is to combine this with opensprinkler...)
