Learning Api
Hello guys,I have been working as a mobile apps developer for nearly two years.I am happy that I am making progress.But some places I feel like I am still behind.For example when it comes to api which doesn't have much resource outside their own documentation,I tend to struggle a lot.Sometimes I find it difficult to understand their own documentation and tend to google and if I don't find anything else,well I am in for a ride :(.Please share your experience and advice on how to get better
This is a great book on such quotes: https://www.amazon.com/They-Never-Said-Misleading-Attributio...
Focusing on one particular aspect of history to the exclusion of others is not a productive way to educate people.
> If your bank freezes your account based on suspicious activity, do you change banks, or are you (usually) thankful?

I stopped using my personal PayPal for this reason.

I think the issue is that unfortunately a lot of internet based companies fail customer management when it comes to edge cases. I see this in the YouTube community relations, Facebook advertising and pages and AWS Help. It can be extremely hard to get edge cases solved by a company that is technology focused.

The customer relations for brick and mortar companies seems more flexible. I think sitting down with a manager at a bank works wonders when there is some strange thing holding up your account.
Edit: Just to clarify, I don't agree with anything Levandwoski has done and both he and Uber should face repercussions for their actions. With that said, there's a lot of "conspiracy"-esque hype around this guy that I think may be undeserved. Everyone here seems to be focused on his monetary motivations for acting as he did; I'm simply trying to offer an alternative viewpoint that could explain the situation outside of pure financial gain.
> Unisex bathrooms create way too many awkward situations...

Fortunately this awkwardness can be avoided by having separate sex bathrooms, because people of the same sex are never attracted to one another.

> And also, I wouldn't put the bathroom next to the kitchen... that's just odd.

For plumbing reasons, things that require water tend to be near to one another. Ever noticed that bathrooms are always above one another, even in buildings with otherwise complicated floor plans? At least, I assume that's why.
> The reason: It's basically wild west and the state hasn't yet regulated ISPs to death.

How do you know that's the reason?

For those interested, I looked up the story:

http://kernelmag.dailydot.com/issue-sections/headline-story/...

the same World Bank study that applauded Romania’s well-connected cities cautioned about a digital divide. A much larger share of Romanians have ultra-fast internet connections compared to other European countries, yet one-third of the country’s population has never used the internet. Half of all households have no broadband connection—half of households don’t even have a computer, for that matter.
That URL seems dead.

This one works: https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-344614A1.p...
It's not true that he was never formally charged with it. It was a factual element of his conspiracy charge; it was brought into the case in such a way that not only did the defense have the opportunity to rebut it, but, because it was one of the legs of the primary charge in the case, the obligation to do so.
It's illegal to murder and steal, because these actions directly harm other people. Now, yes, the notion that harming others is bad is fundamentally a question of morality as well. But it's much lower level than what's traditionally called "legislating morality".
If your model says that 100 people never stick to an agreement, then yes, it is too simplistic.
Actually I love those! I might have to start calling my giant fat kitty a doglet.
That's exactly what I've been doing since 2.1 came out. We get to use async/await, object spread etc but still get it compiled to ES5. Haven't had any trouble getting it working with React either.

It did need some tweaking to the tsconfig.json file, but that's a one time setup.
I agree to an extent. Dropbox is the superior product from a 'just works' point of view. I really want to support them but they're just not priced competitively in our locale.

Is a 1TB family plan for $10NZD per month (not $10USD which is like $4000 NZD /s) too much to ask?

Microsoft have a $7.99 NZD per month O365 plan that includes Email and 1TB OneDrive.

I can also buy O365 Home Premium (5 user including thick apps and Skype credit) for less than $10 per month ($99 NZD per year) -- and that's for 5 users.

Microsoft are consistently adding value to their O365 offering, its only a matter of time until they nail the "Dropbox" level of quality on OneDrive and then Dropbox won't be relevant anymore. They need to bring that price point down for the different locales. $120USD per year is just too much.
The article makes fun of the fact that the murders didn't take place, and were instead faked using canned food. I think you're reading into this a bit.

(As I said upthread: you're incorrect about him never being confronted with the murder allegation in court).
Logic Pro X has MIDI Scripters, which might do some of what you're looking for, while still being a traditional DAW. Saw a video the other day of Brian Eno describing how he takes a regular drum beat, and adds a stack of Scriptors to it to make it probabilistic and ever-changing.
Yup they've been around for a while! Cool thing that it's still running. I remember hanging out there quite a lot back in the day.
`swiftc * .swift` spawns one frontend job per file and then runs the linker to link together the .o's. `swiftc -whole-module-optimization * .swift` compiles all files in a single frontend job. Note that -O is independent of -whole-module-optimization, which is perhaps a bit confusing.
This is making the odd assumption that our previous abstractions should play well with our current abstractions of pixels.

My feeling is that the "perfect" abstraction of reality to geometry is actually a very high order function that we don't fully understand. An easy example is parallel lines aren't always parallel, even though that is a common geometry affordance.

So, that our current toolset does not play well with our previous one should not be that surprising. Would it be nice if they did? Yes. But it would also be nice if Newtonial physics played well with quantum physics.

Why? Tough to answer. Not impossible, but above my ability to understand.

>That's just lying with numbers.

No, those numbers are from the IPCC which represents the mainstream consensus. Take it up with them if you think you are right and they are wrong. Using the 20 years number is reasonable considering how far along we are in climate change. As the IPCC report states: "There is no scientific argument for selecting 100 years compared with other choices (Fuglestvedt et al., 2003; Shine, 2009). The choice of time horizon is a value judgement since it depends on the relative weight assigned to effects at different times."

>...Under 10% total gen from peaking power is viable with over production of wind and solar and zero grid storage.

Yea I hear advocates make such claims all the time. Unfortunately I never hear the same thing from people who actually run a major utility. We might get there someday, but for now I have to agree with Gates: "...What they mean is that at noon in Arizona, the cost of that kilowatt-hour is the same as a hydrocarbon kilowatt-hour. But it doesn’t come at night, it doesn’t come after the sun hasn’t shone, so the fact that in that one moment you reach parity, so what? The reading public, when they see things like that, they underestimate how hard this thing is. So false solutions like divestment or “Oh, it’s easy to do” hurt our ability to fix the problems. Distinguishing a real solution from a false solution is actually very complicated."
I don't know how incompatible the rest of it is with things I already said. I would just suggest that the NSA is less motivated by preventing terrorism than it is by protecting and expanding the careers of the NSA rank and file.
I think I've addressed these questions already in other posts in this subthread.
If you replace exceptions with e.g. return values, it doesn't really change anything for the libraries - if they expect to be able to deal with an error, they still have to defensively preserve correctness.

OTOH the library always has the option to say "this particular thing that you give me should be nothrow; if it throws, that's U.B.", and not even try being defensive in the face of exceptions when they come out of such a thing.
Come on in, the water is fine. Handling errors without using exceptions is not that bad.
If people had a choice to live in a country where it is hard to start "meaningful" companies vs living in a country where it is so easy to start companies that you can even start stupid companies, I would think most people here will choose #2.

Now regarding degrading conditions and pay, that was not what I was commenting about....

Also, one thing to remember is small 'stupid' companies (like juicer) will be "taken care off" by free market economics. Over a period of years, if it does well, then it is fair game. Else it might go bust. It is unlikely that is not the outcome here.
> Though the goals may often be to promote one cause or candidate or to denigrate another, another objective appears to be sowing distrust and confusion in general, the authors wrote.

> In some cases, they said, the same fake accounts engaged with both sides of an issue "with the apparent intent of increasing tensions between supporters."

Where I come from, we call that trolling :) Sounds just like Usenet.
I fear that a particularly difficult experience could leave me with a permanent worsening of some problems.

I recognize that this is an unlikely case, however during my light trip I experienced a seemingly inexplicable sudden anxiety attack which was difficult to control. I feel like LSD is a toss up between potential euphoria/enlightment and dysphoria/mental illness.

Granted, I did experience a substantial tranquility following the attack and in the days after the trip, and I believe that cubensis provided me with a substantial months long relief from existential depression, and helped me realize the depth of the hole into which I was already aware that I'd fallen. So I probably just have a few self imposed walls to break down.
Brazilians fight back against corruption– with the help of a Chrome plug-in
Aha!

Very nice. This looks interesting. Even though I probably won't understand it, at least it means I wasn't that far off.

Hopefully we will see more of this sooner rather than later. FHE is one of those things that I think would be a game changer if it's cheap enough to use broadly.
You do, but C++ includes RTTI separately from exceptions (dynamic_cast and typeid), so it's going to be there regardless. If you turn it off, then we're not talking about standard C++ anymore, but some subset.
All depends on the money. Based on what they offered the passengers, they weren't going to rent a private jet.
What Is Metallic Glass? – Ted-Ed – Ashwini Bharathula
Unless you know some pretty odd tax laws one cannot write off the act of refusing to make money. They can write off business expenses which on an empty building are likely to be not too much different from an occupied one (some are more, some are less). I think that in some cases waiting for more rent is right, in other cases it's simply investors (many overseas) using the space to park assets. They want their money out of GBP or Yuan and in US real estate, but they don't really want to be landlords. See also pretty much every condo in Vancouver.
Crowdfunding campaign for a super-gritty prison escape RPG
I built the simmilar stuff for Reddit using Amazon links. http://booksreddit.com

I'm in the process of adding Goodreads and other book websites to get better suggestions.(Using Amazon API is limiting on scale)

As for your question: I've been researching python natural language processing to get probable named entities and check them against Amazon API. I suggest https://spacy.io that has reasonable named entities extraction. However doing it at a scale might produce lot of books that are named as a common phrases.
As someone who lives in Qld, our Gov't only provides funding to those who are the most connected and don't need the funding. As per the FAQ's section saying they will give the money not to those who it would benefit most, but those who are most connected and have the most experience and successful startups.
He sold his company. Tesla could have killed it just to deny its competitors assembly line equipment. We are talking American business ethics here, not German business ethics. If it was that critical to them, BMW and Diamler could have instead jointly bought Grohmann Engineering, like they did with Here Intetnational BV stock along with VW.
> the document you are critiquing claims the opposite in paragraph 11

That paragraph describes a previous ruling by the Commission. That's not what they're requesting comment on, which is why I didn't mention that paragraph. But it might well be worth someone else submitting a comment that focuses on logical errors in that previous ruling.
I wiped out (actual permanent deletion) my Facebook account late 2016. Email and long form communication for people that matter. Gathered anyone I regularly chatted with or wanted to IM with onto Signal. Don't miss anything about Facebook other than a group or two I was a member of. Decentralized forums still exist and work fine. We deserve better than Facebook.
I'm curious, have you ever combined meditation with psychoactive substances?

I've found that marijuana and amphetamines both make it substantially easier for me to meditate and calm my mind. I'm not particularly experienced though- just a handful of times a month for a few years...
> lack of respect for property is unfortunately part of Google's culture

I've been at Google for more than 7 years and I would not characterize the attitude of any of my colleagues (junior or senior) in this way. If anything, it's the total opposite.
You've done nothing to justify your "systemd + sensible" in this comment. You've just ranted against other technologies. I don't see the point.
Why Food Is Taking Over Your Life
Yeah. Would be really interesting to see a container technology that people were eager to use for DB management. Persistent storage is the thing that hasn't clicked yet.

My guess is this technology will be some kind of cluster management. If there were a 'platform' for horizontally scaling data that managed sharding, rebalancing & backups plus gave me user-space hooks to override policies, databases might slowly & cautiously build on top of it.

Most DBs have their own of these (pgpool, mongos, redis sentinel, all of cassandra & hadoop) but would be cool to centralize the common reqs and collaborate.
Father Daughter duo build the ultimate female orgasm machine
If goo doesn't throw, why not declare it nothrow?

Although I still don't see why, in your example, one of the variables cannot be elided even if goo does throw. Since there's no point at which address of r is taken, much less escapes the scope, it should always be safe to elide r and just return s, no?
Anybody can risk enough to fail in an irreparable way.
Great analysis and breakdown.
I suppose systemd could be swapped for "any modern linux init system" and Ansible could be swapped for "any modern cloud configuration tool". There are probably 3 or 4 items that come to mind for both categories.

The idea is that Linux already solves that vast majority of these problems, as do cloud providers. I then ranted on a couple of the "problems" that containers and container orchestration "solve".

You're right tho - a bit of a ramble. Been a long day / on-call week :P I will think about how I could have been more eloquent for next time.
People attribute quotes to famous people because that gives the quote more weight.
Nintendo Announces New 2DS XL
I honestly do not understand why they felt compelled to disrupt so many people's lives to solve a paper problem, instead of just changing the official description of the border to match the de facto alignment?

I'm looking for more than just "grabbing tax dollars" or "justifying their existence" reasons. What legally compels the states to solve the problem this way instead of in a way that is least disruptive to the people who actually live there?
That seems like a smart strategy. People who are connected are likely to succeed at higher rate.

Wasting taxpayer money on funding startups (which fail 99% of times) seems like a bad idea. Not to mention startup investing is more like a specialized area, more specialized that investing in stock markets of hedge funds.
Axolotl tanks? ;)
That is just business practice in the US. This is exactly why American businesses are so dynamic, because they view business as competition rather than cooperation. This is how the free market and the invisible hand actually works.
Code Rot
Why talking to yourself is the first sign of… success
Well, Trump has shown that the populace is accepting of businessmen as leaders. I'm sure if the rumors are true Zuckerberg won't be the last to think they can parlay success and fame into political power, and he wasn't the first (Reagon comes to mind).
Counter-proposal?
No need to defend a multi billion corporation getting its engineers to do unpaid work either (unpaid overtime I assume), but hey there's a sofa to sleep on - fk that.
I wish someone would create a branch of mathematics related to the study of relationships between a bunch of "nodes" and "edges".

Jokes aside - and I'm aware that the FB folks have plenty of good graph theorists - how hard can it be to spot these kind of non-organic actors in the social graph? If I'm paranoid, I would guess that there's probably little distinction between FB's valued corporate customers and advertisers and these 'information operations' in terms of their presence in the social graph.

In any case, it seems like you could do a lot of worthy stuff to distinguish between content that spreads relatively slowly among people who appear to post things judiciously (and might even comment about it in ways that add content) vs various types of bullshit or low-quality content. Again, paranoia suggests that weeding out reflexively transmitted garbage and 'fake news' (for whatever value of 'fake' you're holding today) cuts a bit too close to the business model...
I went down this rabbithole once, and turns out you /can/ do something like this, having everything streaming all the way from the database to python to the web server to the client. The problem then was that even after all that effort, whatever javascript usually was processing that in a non-streaming way.

Then I found this http://oboejs.com/ and it was even more work, and I gave up. In the end it required rethinking everything and battling against a whole set of tools and libraries that just didn't think that way.
Comparing taking someone's life or, less importantly, their property to getting high shows a terrible lack distinction and treats what is, at its worst, a mental or physical health issue and at its best someone just getting a buzz as criminal conduct.

Looking at the world without nuance makes for a pretty cruel place, at which point it wouldn't be uncharitable for someone to say fuck your morals. Don't forget, societies have become better places by breaking unjust laws.
They ripped that straight out of the OWASP CSRF cheat sheet, under "Personal Safety CSRF Tips for Users". Yep, clearly nomx's issues are all just user education issues.

To refute his point, You can subscribe to receive razors every 1-6 months on Amazon.

The only value I see him creating is value for his company haha.
Despite its imperfections, which in my cursory understanding are largely academic, Telegram is an amazing messenger.

It's very quick, feature-rich, and developer-friendly.

Perhaps best of all, it's a nonprofit. So I can expect, with a high degree of confidence, that the organization won't abruptly switch course one day to appease investors.
Good point about trains. But I know one of the first suspension bridges did carry trains. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls_Suspension_Bri... .When we bid for the Tappan Zee bridge, the community wanted us to design it to take trains in the future. (Our team did not get the project) . Not sure how the executed design turned out.

Actually there is very little stress on the cables. The cables are stressed just enough to take the sag out of em. i.e. All the cables are actually supporting is their self weight! All you need is a hand-held jack and a lot of clever math, to install them :-).

The deck on one side of the tower is held in place by counter weight of the deck on the other side.

About earthquakes, it's designed for those 100 year quakes, hurricanes and floods. When we were building the Audubon Bridge across the Mississippi River, we were in fact hit by a 100-year flood and 2 hurricanes. Other than some stored material floating away and having to watch out for alligators in odd places. We got through fine :-)

The bridge type is rarely chosen for beauty :-) especially when contractors have to bid competitively for tonget a chance to build them. Governing factors are technical feasibility (design and constructability) and cost.

Oh baby the desire to pitch my WIP SaaS product. This is something I'm extremely keen on and I couldn't agree more!
Actually using Durov's messenger app. Have created a couple of personal bots myself, which took less than an hour each.
The only downside will probably be the time when Durov is out of money, and they will start monetizing the platform.
Immutable vs. Mutable Programming Performance in Golang
Silly feature. It kept telling me the photo I had put up as my first profile picture was the best one. No shit, Sherlock.
"It also gave me a duct tape feeling or batteries not included – like the critical pieces (docker support, DNS, load balancing) weren’t integrated into the original design."

I'm sorry, this article^H^H^H^H^H rant isn't worth reading. I don't understand why people write these posts where they so poignantly display their complete ignorance alongside their strongly held opinions. It's tacky and doesn't reflect well.

Load balancing is literally built-in via kube-proxy, NodePort and/or CloudProvider integration. Kube-DNS has existed for years (and is intentionally removable, but not at all duct-taped on). And the claim that Kubernetes didn't have Docker support... I mean, I literally don't even know what to say to that.
The Future of Digital Biology
As an Ops guy, I preach Ansible + systemd all day everyday, but so many of our Devs (and Ops) have drunk the containerization Kool-aid.

Unfortunately, the same culture which fucked modern web design (a new JS framework every 6 months) is starting to creep into Ops; some REALLY smart people make a tool which promises to be X but with X's main problem solved. They do the easy 80% and then abandon the project when the hard 20% needs to be fixed (and forget documentation).
The Supreme Court opinion is interesting, but I don't see anything in the logic given that is not open to the same objections I raise in my comment. The key error I pointed out in the comment--that all the actual information services happen at endpoints, not in the network itself--is there in the court opinion's description of the Commission's logic. So I still think that error is a good point of attack.
