Sure but there is magic everywhere. You trade convenience for the risk of not knowing the underlying mechanism in action. The inverse is long boilerplate code, setting up multiple services and factories and fooWidget stuff just to do a simple thing. It’s more clear, yes, but is it always better?

Rhetorical question by the way... just food for thought. There is a balance. I happen to love the convention rails imposes and the “magic” it offers. That being said, there isn’t anything about it that I consider wizardry or don’t understand. It’s just ruby.

Stanfurd can favor students born on a blue moon with an extra nipple for all I care. But claiming all scholarships are need based, giving them to rich students, and then telling students to not discuss their aid is disgusting. In my book this is on par with the wage fixing between Apple and the other tech giants.

This is the downside of diversity and inclusion. Companies and schools have gotten so good at paying lip service to it, we can't tell what kind of bullshit happens on the inside.
Our society is culturally configured to promote lying here. Instead of addressing the issue openly like adults, people decide to operate covertly, driven by competition and fear of missing out.

It'll be nice when we start to culturally grow up a bit and begin trusting the world. Collaboration/hybridization is much quicker than competition when it comes to genetic evolution & I suspect the same holds for cultural evolution.
I always understood it to mean that a good idea doesn’t sell unless you execute well on it, and also that an idea doesn’t need to be unique, it just needs to be executed better than the competitors.

Oh, come on. There are plenty of large websites written in flask. It's not that hard to use at all, and all those things you list are definitely a part of it. Hell, I have a 20 KLOC website written in bottle, and no one ever said it was poorly done, insecure, and so on.

The problem is that a lot of people writing Python web stacks don't know how to write Python at all, and no framework will save that shortcoming.
By bitcoin fraud do you mean frauds that are 'settled' in bitcoin or counterfeiting?

The protocol stops counterfeiting, the miners stop individuals from failing to fulfill a payment (i.e. stops double spends) and theft is governed by whatever jurisdiction the crime happens in.

It seems that reluctance to consider other views is closely related to the level of education, and place of upbringing.

This IS not a failing in modern debate, but a much bigger issue.

I have seen less educated people show zero empathy for the opposing side many more times than the reverse.

Also you cannot have debates with some people, e.g. right wing authoritarians.

Some people are just born that way.
In the mid 1980 there was a similar craze related to dot-matrix printers and their cps (chars per second, or how fast they were). Then laser printers became cheap and everyone forgot about the dot-matrix. I guess this is the same thing. Fast forward 15 years.

> The inverse is long boilerplate code, setting up multiple services and factories and fooWidget stuff just to do a simple thing

Are you not talking about Java here? ;)

Clearer code makes it easier to reason and hence easier debugging. Correct me if I am wrong.

Also, it really depends on person to person on how they write the code. Django does not mean big boilerplate nor does Rails.

My main question was on performance. How do they stack up next to each other? Python3 with Django is really working well these days. You can also check out the performance improvement on Instagram because of it. https://thenewstack.io/instagram-makes-smooth-move-python-3/
what are the problems with printers today? for hobbyist extrusion printers?

- they are slow (fixed). but even 10x leaves something to be desired.

- they cant print all shapes elegantly. for many shapes you need scaffolding. its a nuisance.

- they are course. print layers, even at the thinnest settings, are still rather thick. also, there is a lot of inconsistency, stringing and surface imperfections.

find a way to solve these problems in a relatively cheap printer and we might actually see the revolution that was talked about when 3d printing first arrived.

Maybe this is a result of theory that males have a slight bias to tend to like things while females like people relatively more. Or maybe cause of the theory that males tend to be greater risk takers.

This post is actually really great for educating people about WHY they should use decentralized networks like blockchains instead of trusting a single point of failure.

But the title is not helping at all because it gives the impression that some sort of "blockchain" has been shut down (which would be way more interesting if something like that actually happened, since that would be equivalent to the bittorrent network being "shut down", which hasn't happened due to its decentralized nature)

I'm sure the point was not to insinuate that cryptocurrency will fail because of these incidents, maybe there's a better title for the website?

I've seen your service advertised for years, but only started using it myself since August. I've had two outages in that time, once lasting for two+ days.

However despite the outages I have to say I've been genuinely impressed at how smoothly the process of signing up was, and how well the (borg) product works.

I have my own local backups, so I'd only ever need to restore from your copies in the event of a catastrophic failure, and I while I hope that never happens I do test-restores now and again and things have always been great.

I called out my biases. What are yours?

When it comes to issues like this, there are people with biases due to their personal experience, there are trained mental health professionals, and then there are people who have neither the training nor the personal experience to know what they’re talking about. So I’d like to know which category you fall under.
I guess that's more charitable. But to my ears it sounded like a baldly pedantic critique of what is easily one of the greatest theoretical results of the past century.

But they are not disadvantaged. Almost everyone who gets into Stanford and Ivy league colleges, underrepresented minorities included, come from very privileged upbringings.

The only disadvantaged population (overachieving children of poor immigrants, mainly European and Asian) is discriminated against through affirmative action in the admissions process and apparently also for scholarships.

I get this concept but I dont think thats how it works. The correlation on the prices of a 1000 sq ft to a 3000 sq ft is not 1: if the first one increases 100% the second one might increase 50%.

In cities, it is often that bigger appts are cheaper per sq/ft because the market for them is much smaller than 1br/2br.

I agree. But how far does that go? Lets say there's a small town somewhere that hosts a monthly community BBQ/potluck during the summer. They post photos to the town facebook page, and PETA shows up and starts spamming the comments with "meat is murder" and the like. Can the town block PETA?
Easy for you to say. But money isnt just some "well you lost it, learn the rules!!" kind of clown show. Your attitude is entirely unempathetic. And its also misinformed. Companies WANT to please customers and don't mind doing menial support to make the customer feel better. OP is asking for a simple assist - the last thing good businesses wish is for a customer to feel at odds with the business, or likr they were taken advantage of due to confusion. Have you much experience using the goodwill of companies?? Or are you always blaming yourself and taking the punishment of monetary loss?

I somewhat agree with the first part. That's why most of Harvard's black students are first or second generation African immigrants. I have Nigerian friends who joke about being Nigerian princes because, well, they kind of are.

The second part assumes class is the only disadvantage. Perhaps preference for poorer student is the only type of affirmative action accepted by both major US political parties. And I agree money solves a lot of problems, but it doesn't fix every race and gender issues. The best example is all of the famout actresses bringing awareness to sexual assault.

My favorite viruscomix [1] (by Winston Rowntree) deals with intrusive thoughts, by having a homeless character meet her alternate reality self. The conventionally successful self had a better support network, but is still desperately afraid that she will heed her reclusive, despairing aspect. I want to give away the emotional climax, but shouldn't; I cried when I first read it.

As with pain, we can never really know the scope of anyone else's intrusive thoughts; but know that it is not a unique burden.
It could just be a problem of rank. From what i remember from steve jobs decision, ive is in charge of both hardware and software, but i don't think he would be able to code a javascript hello world to save his life.

If Craig doesn't have the authority to prioritize hardening the kernel vs the latest gesture du jour, because Ive wants it badly, then no matter how good and charming you are, you're screwed.

I mean, it's not hard to see there's something happening with the priorities set inside the company : iphone X is apparently a great new piece of hardware, but iOS and mac OS are seriously lagging.

The last batch of real new features was iOS10 with extensions (which honestly didn't change anything in my personal experience), and before that iOS7 with the new UI look. No serious innovation really happened in Apple software since iOS. I'm talking "Richest company in the world" serious. Swift is the only piece of really innovative software coming out of Apple, and from what i understood, it's a very personal initiative of someone who's not even part of the company anymore. And judging at the pace at which the language is evolving, it seems badly under staffed (considering it's supposed to become the main tool for all new apple software).

The way i see it (but frankly i don't know), Scott Forstall was the guy with the vision and the history to lead ambitious new software project, and the other top-level guys dumped him (for relational reasons). And now we start seeing the aftermath of that decision.
A rental-proportionate value tax might make all of these problems dissapear. As time passes I find Henry George's idea to be better and better everyday.
The fact that lots of students still major in subjects that can be very worthwhile and valuable but lack obvious paths to financial success (e.g. most of Humanities and a lot of Social Sciences) indicates "making money" is not why they're there.

"Financial success" doesn't necessarily mean optimizing the total number of dollars in your income; it can also mean being able to do work that you enjoy while having a decent standard of living. If a college degree had no impact on your employment opportunities, how many students would still go?

Trade schools should be trade schools but the U.S. has a dearth of them and many that fit the description aren't good enough.

Which is the point. It's not that universities shouldn't exist, it's that they shouldn't be trying to serve both roles.

More so, i'd imagine that if the stories here are all true, there's all sorts of cover ups that have been happening and in many ways he's having to figure out whom he can trust, let alone how to find the skeletons. I'd imagine he got a pretty substantial incentive for coming on board.
