> You don't get to serve the public and selectively reject the law.

You kind of do. If you're ordered to do something that seems in conflict with the law and/or Constitution, you have a responsibility to not leave, to oppose that unlawful or unconstitutional action. That may require you remaining in place. If you leave, all that's left behind are the sort of non-thinking automatons I was surrounded by at one job for the AF who "were just following orders". They will follow the unlawful and unconstitutional orders and our experiment fails.

Your obligation as a public servant in this country is not to the President or to the Congress, but to the People by way of the Constitution and those things which are permitted by it. Orders aren't obligations if they're orders to do things we shouldn't be doing.

> The prevailing wage comes from a chart: you don't just do research or come up with it.

Interestingly, companies can provide their own wage surveys in order to justify the salary on an LCA. They aren't required to use the DoL wage data. [0]

"For the H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 programs, employers have the option of using one of three wage sources to obtain the prevailing wage: (1) requesting a prevailing wage from the NPWC; (2) using a survey conducted by an independent authoritative source; or (3) using another legitimate source of information."

Larger companies are using #3. Since it is so vague and there isn't any oversight within the program they are able to manipulate the survey to provide results to their benefit while still claiming "We pay the prevailing wage! (according to our shady wage survey)"

Because the word "begs" is easier to say than the word "suggests," partly because it's one syllable instead of three. It's easier, it's better, and it's the phrase I want to use. (It's also more correct than suggests for what I'm trying to say.)

But really, since I'm using the words for their correct English meanings, I don't see why I have to justify my use at all. I'm not fighting to justify something incorrect; the people correcting me are the ones who are wrong, and they're the ones who then go on to try so hard to justify their incorrect opinion when an easier and better solution would be to just let me use the words for their actual definitions.

This is not a problem unique to this idiom; people often forget that words have general English meanings when there's also a technical meaning for the word in question. For example, some people have made it their personal crusade to claim that backers on Kickstarter are not investing anything because they don't receive any ownership in return for their money. These people are wrong. It's true that by the word's finance definition no investment is taking place, but by the word's English definition they are absolutely correct to say it is an investment (just like one might invest in their college education). Obviously that example has nothing to do with the idiom at hand, but considering how often people make this mistake, I have no problem standing my ground on "begs the question" because I refuse to be limited by other people's inability to crack open a dictionary.

This made me smile. Not because I care at all about TP3 or even TP6 which I did a lot with. No, it's because the effect it had on the author. For him it was a project that made programming fun again for personal reasons. In practical terms it's worthless, in personal terms it was priceless ;-)

In the case of Theranos I believe it was this. Elizabeth Holmes seemed to have an "in" with a lot of Washington D.C. influencers and I'm pretty sure her pitch was based on using those connections to score lucrative DoD contracts.

I guess in my situation #3 is not an option, because as I already wrote, I just cannot focus on work anymore, adding test cases are work to do. Thinking about #4, probably I should quit from my current job, take a rest for a while, probably get a loan and then come back again, but I maybe wrong

Logos fall more in the realm of graphic design rather than typography. They're an avatar thus logos don't necessarily need to be readable - albeit there is a modern trend to use the company name in an interesting typeface as their logo. However there are plenty of examples where a company logo contains no text what-so-ever - including Mozilla's previous logo[1]. So I wouldn't get too hung up on its typographic design. At least not unless Mozilla start using 'Moz://a' in normal correspondence. ;)

Personally I quite like it. It's memorable and well suited to the business they're best known for. Which is essentially the crux of a logo.

It's funny, because we'll talk all day long about how (physical) play is so important to a child's cognitive development, never considering that maybe mentally-focused play is also beneficial. The very fact that video games are so compelling/addictive has given them the reputation of being nonproductive, so we tend to assume that they must give little or no benefit to the individual player.
> Working with Javascript, webpack apps etc is a huge pain.

Could you explain what you mean? Django doesn't need to have any connection at all to your JavaScript stack.
Fraud. That's how this happened.
I always expected Pyramid to offer some performance benefits over Django, given the origins (taking the best of framework X and Y), esp given that you can choose your own ORM (e.g., SQLAlchemy), etc.

However, once you're out of the unrealistic scenarios (single query benchmarks, etc.), it doesn't do that well[1]. It's not prohibitively slow, but to make the jump from something as well documented and with as large a community as Django, most developers would need to see major gains in one or more areas; performance, docs, community, coding efficiency, etc.

Pyramid doesn't offer these gains. It only makes promises about maintainability, which are hard to verify, unless you personally know somebody that you trust as a skilled developer, and who has worked on a sufficiently large enough project in Pyramid to make such claims... it's easy to see how this creates a hole that Pyramid has to dig itself out of.

Also, Pyramid still talks about "supporting your decisions", like Jinja2, etc., as if that's a problem people are still dealing with. Django supports Jinja2 even in the admin now, let alone being able to use whatever you want elsewhere. As a side note, I don't see many Python developers wanting to use anything other than Django templates (for simplicity and separation of concerns) or Jinja2 (for speed and flexibility) these days.

If the argument, in response to the aforementioned difficulty in verifying claims about maintainability, is "well, it's up to you; Pyramid stays out of the way", then the immediate response is that you're better off using Flask or Falcon; the former if you need third-party tools, and the latter if you need maximum raw speed, but still want Python. Both of those frameworks will drastically outperform Pyramid and stay out of your way.

IOW, I don't think Pyramid fills any reasonably sized and easily understood market gap.

As for whether the CIA would want Snowden dead - I presume it would only have been useful to them pre-leak, and I doubt murder would have been on the cards then anyway.

The :// thing is cute, but… did Mozilla really need a new logo? Their existing wordmark may not be especially distinctive, but it is familiar. And they have a distinctive symbol, too.

The new logo looks more contemporary. I'm not sure if that's good. Mozilla can be proud of its history, no?

We just had a massive nerd living in the White House for the past eight years. Comic book movies and sci-fi rule the box office. Everyone knows software and computer companies basically rule the world.

My guess is the anti-intellectualism of the incoming President and his supporters is triggering these renewed feelings of nerd persecution, because it is such a jarring contrast to the outgoing administration.

Disclosure: I'm Nawaz from the CloudBoost team.

- Yes, it does bundle frameworks but more importantly, it bundles databases like Mongo, Elastic, Redis etc. The idea is we completely abstract databases away from you and give you an API which does everything. We handle the rest like data sync between these databases, managing databases, scaling, etc.

- We're on a "Pay as you go pricing". Let me know your thoughts on this.

- I completely agree, we dont have a release strategy and we need to work on it. You'll see GitHub releases every week within few weeks from now. Thank you for the feedback.

- We have a Docker implementation which will make your sign up process easier. Please check : https://github.com/cloudboost/docker

- One of the visions of the product is to learn how your app uses the service and how your app queries the db - and auto optimize data between databases, so you never have to think about storing your data in different types of databases ever again.
What critical packages still need to be ported to Python 3? Might be a fun project if they're open source.
> Isn't this exactly the point of using a naked `self` instead of the reference `&self`?

Yes it is, but you only see it's a naked self if you look into the method. From the outside there's nothing in the name to indicate that it doesn't take a reference. So potentially it means that for every method call you need to check that it takes a reference to `self` instead of ownership. This would be especially annoying with third-party libraries.
I'm serious.

Having done TRS-80 BASIC for a couple of years in high school, Turbo Pascal was a game-changer. I had a TinyPascal compiler for TRS-80, but Turbo Pascal converted me the moment I saw someone switch from editing to compiling without actually leaving the program.

> So you have three possibilities.

More possibilities isn't necessarily better. ESR makes precisely this point: "While implementations exist in the crate system, there is not yet any guarantee that any of the alternatives will be maintained over 10-year timescales."

Having three possibilities just makes it more likely that you pick the wrong one, the one that will be dropped by its maintainers because the rest of the community chooses another one.

Isn't it transpiler ? I think they trying hard to move away from python2 to go, but they had massive amount of code written in python2.

I think your logic is not sound . If they wanted to use python2 (only with their own runtime which does not have GIL) instead of switching to go (eventually) they would write a runtime instead of transpiler ?

Please correct me, I am not 100% sure.

Whoa, did I write this? Close to same age and fellow skateboarder here, same story. I can never get in a routine for weightlifting, but I found running in the winter can help keep active. Typically I'm worried about losing weight, which seems the opposite of most people's exercise motives.
That is absolutely possible. I remember getting burnt out many times in my twenties. I think one thing that helps is to remember that burn-out is a temporary phenomenon. If it lasts for longer than a month (and I've experience this), then you need to proactively take steps to try and fight it.

I recently overcame a severe bout of burn-out using the Pomodoro Technique and an Android app on my phone to manage it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

What this did is help compartmentalize my time. If you can focus on your work when it's work time, then you can relax and free your mind when its free-play time. Remember, you don't need to be productive for eight hours straight, just a 25 minute sprint. Then take a break and try another 25 minutes when you are ready to focus again. Pretty soon you'll be getting a respectable 4 hours of productivity in a day and that's more than most people can claim.

Most importantly: keep fighting the burn-out. If you keep facing it as a problem and keep actively trying to find solutions to it, you will get better and more efficient and beating it back when it does arise. I'm really sorry you're experiencing it at the moment, but I sincerely hope you get past it quickly and grow adept at recognizing when it's starting to happen again. You are not alone or even unusual in experiencing this.
A couple reforms I think would genuinely fix this system:

1: Cap interest rates, especially for private loans. Education pays itself back several times over to society when people have good jobs and disposable income.

2: Federal student loans should not be serviced by private corporations. Way too many redundant services add unnecessary cost and nobody in society benefits from this system but the loan companies. If I have a federal loan I should pay the federal government. Simple as that.

3: Expand the earned income tax credit to subsidize apprenticeships. Whether you're a welder or a programmer, it would be a lot easier for your employer to get a wage subsidy and train you into the role, instead of gambling on each prospective employee to be "the best" without them leaving in a few years to a higher paying job so they can pay off their student loans.

My only concern is the people like me who have loans - not too much but a lot - who are capable of paying them back and see those who got useless degrees with 6 figure debt being bailed out. What will the reaction be? If the Obama Administration's history with Wall St is any indication, it won't be pretty.
Increase security by compiling PHP to .NET
I'll throw in my own anecdote and say I can confirm the whole back issue. I've recently stopped my weight lifting program which I put focus on my legs and lower back. My back pain reduced while doing the program but just two weeks off and I'm feeling pain from just adjusting in my seat now. I can't wait to get back to it soon.

Yeah but the odds you can read it if you aren't from East Asia are pretty low.

Also Japanese writing has gone through multiple standardizations.
Now, having done a few job applications myself: there is apparently a tax break or something for hiring a person of color, because race is always included in the job application, and always under the same header as questions for, say, disabled or veteran status.

However, asking in the interviews is unheard of, at least in shudder retail. And while outright denyig someone for their race isn't as common as you might think, people do instinctively like people who look like them, and they also have this bad habit of not questioning it when they like something...
> I wish rust could have taken a similar approach.

Then use Swift. Other than the approach to memory, Swift is extremely similar to Rust.

> I wish swift scene on linux becomes viable in the next version.

Swift 3.0 is totally viable on Linux. And Swift package manager works great, although it's not quite as nice as Cargo (yet!). I've been very impressed with Swift on Linux, but I've yet to use it for production (although there are lots of folks who are). There are some very nice web frameworks for Linux in Swift. I'd say that for web, Swift on Linux is more advanced than Rust. Take a look at Perfect, Zewo, Kitura, etc. They've even got lots of authentication/authorization plugins, which last I checked no Rust framework had.
Legitimately curious: What industry did you go into and roughly how many years did it take you to pay off your loan(s)?

This is part of what keeps me distant from weightlifting. Everyone you talk to offers a different routine (admittedly, almost all of them are some combination of squats, deadlifts, etc., all of which are workouts I struggle with).

I should probably apply the same process as I have with frontend web frameworks... just pick one and roll with it, it will "workout" in the end.
The Google Search workaround does a perfectly fine job for me.
"...and he's struggling with hunger and trying to lose more weight."

This is all I was really trying to emphasize. When it comes time to burn energy, calories are the same, but this isn't true when eating.

High sugar affects insulin and other things that may it hard for people to stick with it. Eating meals high in fat provides higher satiety (you feel full longer). Eating vegetables high in fiber fills your stomach with large mass but low sugar so you'll feel full longer while that breaks down.
Why is "demand" in scare-quotes? I never said that, and it's a loaded term.

The issue here is suggesting you shouldn't freely criticise flaws in FOSS software. This is harmful, and goes directly to affecting information people have available to them in choosing whether or not to use a piece of software in the first place.

Do you actually know what money/time OP might be spending, losing, or making on Django?

> FOSS gives you freedom to do these things on your own. Money gets you other people doing it for you.

What a cop out. A lack of being paid (money at least) doesn't imply no obligations, nor freedom from criticism.

Do you speak for every Django contributor?

Ah nostalgia. Lower quality products? Let's just look at cars: the Pinto, the various AMC junk heaps; even my beloved first car, a VW Beetle (1969). All were horrible compared to what is available for today.

Let's look at PCs. I bought an Apple ][c in 1984 for $1400. That's almost $3300 adjusted for inflation. And that was a POS compared to what you can get for $300 today.

Culture? Let's look at what most people considered culture; TV. There were 3 main channels, all showing the same type of monolithic news, and sitcoms that were horrible. Today we have a multiverse of shows that inform and entertain. Yes, there's still crap on the tube, but you have far more options.

Education? When I graduated, college was for the highest achievers. Today, everyone is expected to go, and it's far easier to attend.

Race relations? We have a long long way to go, but compared to the early 70's? Racism was just the way things were then; America was extremely whitebread.

Acceptance? I had a friend hang himself in high school because he couldn't deal with the pressures of being in the closet. Today, we still have a long ways to go with LGBTq affairs, but we've progressed a lot.

Nostalgia is warm and fuzzy, but it puts blinders on us.

My understanding is that Go provides for this by a mechanism called embedding. You can place an object i:Inner in class c:Outer and then Outer acquires all of Inner's public interface.

I think it's a nice idea. In general, Go seems to provide the language mechanism without the "moral" aspect. In other words, it saves you typing without forcing you to accept the OO paradigm (Liskov substituion etc.).
This. It's bad enough when people comment after reading no more than the headline (guilty!) but it's much worse when most people are commenting without getting the full picture.
