Why is your LE broken? 'because 1 of the 12 automated renewals last 3 years (to compare vs 3 year paid certificate at 4 euro) failed for reason X, Y or Z'. Be it them being down, be it your uplink being down, be it your dns malfunctioning, be it another massive spamhaus-sized-internet-disrupting-ddos. There are plenty of ways a LE renewal can go wrong, and having this 'chance' occur 4 times a year, i find bad practice.

Just because something is free, doesn't make it better. And having 12x more points in same timeframe where the automated renewal can fail, certainly doesn't make it better statistically.

Also i grew up with the notion, 'nothing in the world is free, except the sun'. So i wouldn't be surprised if they will start to monetise this LE user base at some point in time.

There is still a big difference in terms of attach surface between a complete repo cloned in /home/$USER and some transient partial information that is gone (in theory) once you close the application/browser, so I don't see why it's completely ridiculous.

You can (and should) ask for whatever you think is fair. For new relationships, deposits are common, as are twice-monthly billing and net 10 terms.

Here's a piece of advice a friend and mentor gave me when I went from full-time to contracting long ago. We were talking about terms and I said well, I figure we'll just do net 30 or something. He got really serious and said "No, listen to me. You're a contractor now. You want your money, and you want it now."
Captain401 (YC S15) Is Hiring a Technical Recruiter and Product Manager
I'm a big fan of flask, purely because there's no wrangling `request` objects down your stack, and you can just fish it out later when you need it.

My main complaint would be Flask's 'extensions'. I'm really not a fan of the

> app = Flask(__name__)
> db = Database(app)

pattern. it makes getting your db back later a little trickier. It would be nice if the `Flask` instance held it for you, so you could get it back with `flask.current_app` later.

It further doesn't work when the plugin provides a sets of views (i.e. CRUD) e.g.

> app = Flask(__name__)
> crud = CrudPlugin(app)

I've yet to see a case of why this isn't implemented as a blueprint.
No. It is a common mistake thinking that Flask is simple so it's better for small (simple) projects. Flask is very flexible. I would say too flexible. It can be useful for very complex projects but in 99% projects, Django is better. You can be sure that everything will work together.
As a German and Unicode nerd, I love this. It'll take forever to be standardized in keyboard layouts and to be fully supported in mainstream fonts but I love that this makes it officially blessed and gives it leverage when convincing type foundries and standard bodies to support it.

DON'T PANIC. You'll be fine to use "SS" when shouting at people online for the foreseeable future. But those of us who care about typography can now use the proper capitalization and maybe 5-10 years from now keyboard layouts will support this like they added support for the Euro symbol (although that was a bit easier).

Do you mean "trust" as in trusting they don't have malicious intents, or trusting they won't be lazy or distracted sometimes? In this case I don't think it's the former, since nothing technically prevents an employee from cloning the repos and running away to a competitor. I think it's part of good security "hygiene" that helps protect you from yourself.

There are only two people who would have been in a position to tell you such a thing. One doesn't show up in that data set, the other is me, and I know I wasn't banning people just for a yay-Snowden. More definitively, the ban trail starts with the predecessor comment (i.e. 6170753 not 6183189). Had we banned you for 6183189 the prior comment would never have been killed.

> ... forcing her into a corner ...

I did nor interpret her text that way. To be fair, the whole text is very confusing for an article that purports to be "shedding light". The sentence that talks about the corner is this:

"On the way out, he pushed himself onto me to the point where I was backed into a corner, made contact to kiss me, and said (...)"

Now, this is extremely vague and can mean anything. He was already going out, but she was in the way, and the exit door was on a corner? He pushed himself without touching her (because the contact was later, during the kiss attempt)? This can be construed as assault or as a normal goodbye when leaving the house of somebody.

It is infuriating that this crucial part of the text (where the alleged assault happens), is extremely vague. Moreover, the fact that the text is riddled with bogus claims like "unwanted propositions", does not play in favor of its credibility. That's actually the whole point of propositions, to see if you are wanted or not! What does it matter if a proposition is wanted or not? This is ridiculous.

In the end, this noise plays against the victims of assault. When somebody is assaulted, she should go immediately to the police, not write a vague article three years later, mixing real problems with imaginary ones in the same list.
After wiping memory and CPU caches. Otherwise you might get to wait hours to be sure.
Try Tor or a proxy I guess. Maybe the website hasn't blocked those. But the article doesn't really talk about much. It's like an introduction to Scihub.
Your analogy isn't apt, a better analogy would be judging a car to be difficult to maintain by looking at the listings of all the embedded software. I know a guy who restored a 1960's VW Beetle to working condition with minimal expertise, the same couldn't be done for modern cars without a full machine shop that specialized in that make.

Fancy selling points like "unidirectional data flow" don't actually mean anything. Each fanboy has their own variant of this, like "transclusions", "immutables", "dependency injection", etc. These are all phrases I've heard that don't translate to tangible results.

What Illegal “Kodi(ying)” has given us
The NYSE did exactly the same f*ckup in 2014. And as I would expect will happen this time, the NYSE did not care because it is a bank holiday in the US, but it is not in the rest of the world, and I saw many people complaining on forums that their brokers automatically closed their positions or made big margin calls.

So this is a pretty bad mistake.

I've read several interesting articles about Kensho,
e.g https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazine/the-robots-are-coming-for-wall-street.html.

Fortune has deemed Kensho as one of the top 5 most interesting Fintech companies. Yet every time a link has been submitted here there has been almost no activity.

They seem to be doing some interesting work, replacing a lot of the researchers on Wall Street.

I had a similar idea but my target was a Python application, that was parsing text to create a complex in-memory object tree with tens of thousands of objects.

The idea was that the individual elements were not always fully accessed when the application ran, so if I created them on demand from such a dense memory-mappable dump I could persist that instead of parsing every time.

The overhead of creating Python object was too high for that. But if you are using Python and are deserializing read-only dictionaries, http://discodb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ does a subset of that -- if your app e.g. reads in 100,000 translations from a JSON file, Disco's serialization will let you just mmap them.
You would get the same level of congestion, but at a higher level of transportation services (ie journeys) provided.

If you want to reduce congestion, you have to go to the demand side: congestion charging.

> the Big Crunch, where gravity would pull the universe back to a single point

Just as the big bang didn't happen in a single place, a Big Crunch wouldn't be a contraction back to a single point. Rather, the scale factor [1] that characterises cosmic expansion would simply(!) decline back to zero.

But as others have said, if you're wanting to gain traction for something, it doesn't start with "cool project" it starts with "solves a problem". Cool is great, and amazing and the personal satisfaction is priceless - but if you want to price it, it's a different approach.

London did this, basically bikes were ending up at the bottom of hills as people either ride them down or stopped before cycling up the hill. They introduced a rebate fee for leaving it at the top of a hill (certain areas) and they had fewer bikes to move manually and a better distribution of bikes around the city.

Page should tell at first glance what gitter DOES.
.NET Core is cross-platform.
Not at all. It's often something some people feel quite strongly about and disagree with each other about.

The gender is often derived from synonyms or etymologically related words. I'm guessing the reason it's "Der Computer" for example is that "Computer" works similarly to e.g. "Trockner" (drier) or "Rechner" (calculator, in fact often the German synonym for "Computer") and these are all male (as generally words ending in -er tend to be).

OTOH it's "Das Steak" (maybe because "Das Fleisch" or "Das Kotlett"?) and "Das Shirt" (maybe because "Das Hemd"?). The fallback generally seems to be "das", i.e. neuter, not male.

An example of something with inconsistent use is "Der Laptop" vs "Das Laptop". Presumably this is because "Der Laptop" is derived from "Der Desktop", which in turn is likely simply a shorthand for "Der Desktop-Rechner", making it male. Even the Duden (the closest thing to a "standard" dictionary in Germany) lists it as "der; auch das Laptop" (i.e. "der" seems to be somewhat more common but both are in use).

Views "register themselves" as functions that should be called given a certain URL at import time. That is a side effect and it's horrible if you want to do anything more subtle. Way more "magic" than anything django does.
Not second order effects. Like if I have a stock affected in my portfolio, my broker may close a position to reduce my leverage or execute a stop loss order. They can't sell that stock because the US is closed, so they will sell the other positions outside of the US, which are unaffected by this bug.

These transactions have been induced by an error but are not clearly erroneous and will not be cancelled.

It happened in 2014 when the NYSE did a similar fuckup. Their reaction was "who cares, US markets are closed". There was a lot of livid comments from canadian investors on forums.
Due to the diversity of human preference and desire, I don't think that's a realistic course of action for a broad swath of humanity. People are going to be attracted to each other irregardless of principle. In fact, you could even argue that by pushing this sort of relationship towards the forbidden or taboo, it highlights the appeal. When people are going to spend hours and hours of time together, there's no helping the fact that feelings are going to happen eventually.

It's also not hard to conceive of a person who wants a power relationship with a strong, motivated, and ambitious person. That being said, where are you likely to meet someone who is grinding out the hours to reach success?

None of this is to say your proposed approach is invalid. It's an approach that works for some people. I just don't think it's realistic to expect that it's going to be widely followed. As this article notes:

"Workplace romances are commonplace. Statistics indicate that anywhere from 40-47% of employees surveyed had been involved in a workplace romance. Beyond the 47% involved, about 20% indicated they were receptive to an office romance."
