But the thing is if you modify your habits, it's so much more efficient than most other languages. It's reasonable to have to learn knew coding style when paradigm-shifting languages. Why isn't it reasonable for there to be other new behaviors as well?

I've always thought musical counterpoint and multi-threaded programming have a great number of parallels. Both are fundamentally about setting up independent but interlocking things that need to work together to accomplish a goal without crashing into each other. And I think the first time you experience either done by a real master, it is mind blowing in the same sort of way.
> Escrow works well with physical goods. How do you return source code that can be copied endlessly. How many copies do you return? How do you prove that one of them is the "original" copy?

Just brainstorming, but:

1. Trusted third party creates a service that (a) provides a one-time-use encryption key (b) provides an endpoint to upload an encrypted blob of information along with an email (or a passcode) and a date after which the decrypted content will be made available to that email (or via that passcode), (c) provides a UI that allows a user to pay $x (redeemable via email/passcode) to wipe the encrypted content from their server, if paid before the ransom date.

2. Malware author compromises system, encrypts content using (a), uploads encrypted content with their email/passcode to (b), sends user a link to (c).

3. Malware author provides some evidence that they haven't also uploaded non-encrypted content elsewhere to give confidence that once the user pays, the content will not exist elsewhere. Some ideas: system/network logs, malware analysis that shows that it only uploads to trusted third-party, providing proof in decompiled source that malware only uploads to trusted third-party, and/or a reputation/review system. Note that this doesn't need to be airtight proof, it just needs to give the victim enough confidence that they think it's worth the risk to hand over some money.

Would this work well, in practice? Who knows. But I think it's a proof-of-concept that shows that there are potentially other ways to escrow ransomed content.
Are you using 100 threads or coroutines? because 100 threads on a single machine will no give you nice performance at all.

I have started working a crawler in Go and each website to crawl can be configured via YAML files. The quantity of code written is a bit bigger than the python one made before, but a single micro instance on amazon is way enough to "read" few hundred websites every hour.
Personally, I think the goroutine system is way easier to deal with compared to the Python one.

So if I was you, I would definitely give the IO processing to golang, and let python deal with the data processing.

> has no connection to the composer.

The surrounding region of the city Buxtehude, called the 'Altes Land', has a lot of old instruments and one can hear the music of the composer Buxtehude on old organs from his time... The organ in a neighbour town, where I grew up, was completed in 1675. It has been preserved in as much original state as possible. The works of Buxtehude may sound today on that organ like 300+ years ago, when he lived...
Of course Google has its short comings. But I don't see "a search engine per country" is going to change anything. First of all, why limit the boundary to countries? There could be vastly different areas in the same country or two countries with similar culture and languages. Second not every country can afford / has enough resource for setting up their own Google. Search engine requires expertise that builds up through many years of experience. Instead of reinventing the wheel for every country, why not work on better localisation of existing search engines?

> Any authority that can confirm an anonymous criminal is who they say they are needs to be illegal to keep law enforcement from finding out the identities, and if not they are still participating in a crime.

It's not a requirement that the authority be legal. Note that a person's name isn't required to establish authority, pseudonymous reputation provides assurance as well. Darknet markets have reputation systems, and have already figured this out.

> And how do you ensure you are dealing with the same person from one transaction to the next?

The same way we do it with pseudonymous systems now: by having an authoritative identity somewhere that can verify their actions. @shittywatercolour could make a new account on HN, do an AMA, and post on his Twitter that he's doing an AMA with <name> for proof. Banksy can claim work by posting it on his website. In the same way, a reputable seller on any marketplace (such as a darknet marketplace) could do the same thing.

This solves the problem of interpretability. You can't interpret the weights of a neural network, but you can easily follow along a decision tree and see if it's doing what you want.

Actually that's somewhat less true for big decision trees. But the general point is that you can train interpretable models to mimic the output of uninterpretable black boxes.

The biggest issue is that decision trees only work for data with fixed inputs and outputs. Recurrent NNs work on a time series and possibly even have attention mechanisms.

That being said this was a great response and I appreciate it

Do you really think "Our sub-par standards got outed in a forum dedicated to our core target market so we did a spot fix and made some noise about how we will improve" qualifies as a great response?

A great response would be "We are aware our support is not inline with what a service like this requires. We will implement the following measures over period X"

This is more like "oops, sorry we got found out"

"Cloud" support in general is dreadful, especially given the extremely high premium you pay for *aaS services.
Get off your high horse, sir... most cheap tomatoes suck you meant. Don't expect much of a taste when tomato plant never touched soil and its fast-grown under artificial light. For example spanish ones in shops are all like this. tell sign - they are the cheapest tomatoes in shops.

but you can have food chains, for example Grand Frais in France, which sells properly good ones. they look better, smell better and of course taste better. All my childhood I ate homegrown stuff all summer and autumn. Its great taste, but not THAT great as you describe, and children hating veggies has absolutely nothing to do with this, they will hate even the best ones.

You give it explanations as training data and it tries to predict them.
I think usually if a problem is more solvable by a neural network than a decision tree, there is an underlying reason. Neural nets and decision trees work in very different ways.

Take image classification as an example. CNNs can do it by finding nonlinear patterns that exist. A decision tree would have a very tough time doing it because the pixels have a complicated relationship with each other that defines what the image is of.

I think for something like the data transformations we're talking about a Neural Network would be pretty over kill. It looks like this feature in excel works by comparing the data to pre-defined formats, which is probably done by searching all known formats in a somewhat intelligent (not ai, just intelligent) way so that it's fast. Then it can output that type of data in whatever form you want.

Your comment gave me an interesting idea though: What if we put neural networks inside of decision trees?
Surely too little stretch for the typical anchor chain length?
They're not even really that complex - people just try and make them difficult :)

If you import more 'stuff' than you export then you have to balance that difference with something (ie: stocks, bonds, hard currency, land).

And causality is seemingly a difficult one to track down!

The GNU project did an evaluation of various code repository services, and GitHub has problems other than the server code being proprietary[1].

The problem is that GitHub's client code is also proprietary (namely their site does not function when proprietary JavaScript is blocked), which makes it a user freedom issue.

However, their server code being non-free is additionally problematic because it would mean that GNU was recommending the usage of a proprietary service when there are free software alternatives. Which goes against the mission of GNU.

> If a software developer doesn't want to pay for GitHub, then what on earth deserves to be paid for.

When I use the word "free" I am referring to software freedom, not price. Please re-read my previous comment with that context in mind.

"a law conversion course takes a mere few months in the UK"

For a start there isn't a single legal system in the UK - Scotland has a different process for qualifying than England does and NI and Wales might have different processes.

In Scotland to qualify as a lawyer if you already have a first degree in another subject requires 2 years to get an LLB and then another year to get a postgraduate diploma in legal practice (both full time) then 2 years training at a law firm.

From what I can see in England the equivalent of the 2 years LLB takes 1 year but you still have to get a postgraduate qualification and do the training.

The Law Society for England and Wales says 4 years to qualify as as solicitor if you have first degree.

https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/law-careers/becoming-a-solicit...

Qualifying as a barrister (or advocate here in Scotland) ironically may take less time - but that's exceptional.

NB My wife did the "conversion course" route here in Scotland and it took 5 year and she went on to be called to the bar as an Advocate.
I was pretty excited to read about GraphQL, hoping it would be a way to abstract query logic and reduce the laborious need to sync server-side query APIs and client-side query construction as they change throughout an app's development.

But I don't see any way to express relationships like joins in GraphQL. Am I overlooking it?

I worried about all these things and all I was doing was coming out as gay. And I live in the UK, which has strong legal protection against discrimination on the basis of sexuality and gender, and a relatively accepting culture.

I can only imagine it was a thousand times worse to come out as trans. Or even to understand it in yourself - again, this took me years and I was "merely" discovering that I was gay.
> The official and correct spelling …
I think "official" and "correct" are two different things especially in countries where social networks and other internet services are prohibited like Ukraine.

Said the person who didn't have to destroy their family. Once you are an adult, a family cannot realistically be replaced.

You can have children but children are not the kind of family you can depend on and look up to for advice. You can also marry into another family, but frankly the same strength of bond is just not there (guess which person that family will choose to side with if you get a divorce).

It takes a pretty seriously bad family for it to be worth destroying because people don't want to lose that irreplaceable attachment.

With regards to the potential politics of naming things I think it's a tricky thing. When a brand has been established it's already too late and what started as "Naming something after a Russian island" ends up being problematic.

We're too global in software development to release a brand renamed in certain regions to solve this the traditional way, so libraries and languages have to be extra careful when dealing with naming.

Honestly, though, I would think we could all get past it by considering that maybe names are just names and we should be above the politics.

Nah. What drove the decision is that huge swaths of Android development community already adopted Kotlin and it's trivial to implement it in existing Android codebases. It's also built by a company with which Google already has partnership with (IntelliJ built both Kotlin and IDEA IDE which is the base for Android Studio).
