Python is the best.

I converted from PHP -> Python a long long time ago. But it was my first programming language.

PHP and Laravel is excellent. In particular, Laravel developers come across as very intelligent to me. In the end though, Python has multi-spectrum dominance.

Post about Python's tools: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15957273

Python has Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/). It's 90% as good as Laravel. Which means it's very, very good.

But the thing with Python is it owns PHP when you're doing non-website stuff. If you can be convinced to give up Laravel (it may be hard), Python is easily the best choice.

Python has PEP standards PEP8 (code style) and PEP257 (code docs) long before PHP PSR's became a thing.

Scraping. Normalizing data. Python can handle big data sets. Machine Learning/AI.

Has documentation via Sphinx. Here's an example of one of my projects: https://cihai.git-pull.com. Here's an example of generated API docs: https://cihai.git-pull.com/en/latest/api.html.

The nature of being "Pythonic" spreads into open source code, and later into teams, so the libraries you pull in have a familiar style.

OOP is implemented better in python. That rubs off onto the quality of the libraries and how enjoyable they are to implement.

In my opinion, once you get a hang of Python, it's much easier to read than PHP.

They're not children. I would strongly caution that we don't have a moral right to forbid them from using their own money how they wish. To think one does have that right is conceited, and the road to social ruin.

And with respect to the 'systemic risk' argument, a million fools squander billions on state-run lotteries, and probably trillions on frivolous consumer goods, every year. I'm sure our system can withstand a few hundred million dollars worth of losses in cryptocurrency hacks. It's also not clear that it is actually in the long term systemically harmful, given there is at least some technological innovation, especially in the areas of distributed computing architectures and web security (there's never been a better bug bounty or a canary for un-known security vulnerabilities than cryptocurrency on a target hard drive), being generated from this activity.
Title is from the original article, so I suspect that site has an agenda.
Session Manager was one of the best extensions I relied on before Firefox 57. Since that project was discontinued due to deficiencies in WebExtensions APIs, I'd stopped updating Firefox on some machines (I also like Tab Mix Plus, which isn't yet released for Firefox 57+). On others, I recently installed Tab Session Manager. [1] It's not supposed to be a drop-in replacement for Session Manager, and I'm yet to use it well, but it does have basic session saving/restoring features.

> Barring a major collapse, we are unlikely to forget about them, either

That is a backwards way of looking at the problem. Creating labels such that future generations can identify harmful stuff after a collapse is much easier than guaranteeing a major collapse will not eventually occur. If you are thinking long term, why not just tick it off the list?

> The only scenario where we forget about these sites and the dangers of them is some hypothetical future collapse of civilization, where records are gone and the survivors have regressed to a pre-industrial understanding of the world.

> If you're an optimist, you don't expect that scenario to happen. But suppose it could - doesn't it make more sense to invest in carbon-neutral power technology like nuclear and maybe help stave off a potential collapse, rather than worry about a small number of the survivors dying of radiation sickness?

Suddenly, sharply regressing to nineteenth century industrial-era steam tech would probably be more than enough to make people stop researching the finer points of where the previous civilization buried its forgotten stuff. The interesting part if you're pro-nuclear is that one way to help those people in that future calamity is to use nuclear today and leave the relatively easy-to-use fossil fuels in the earth so those future people, in their dire straights and lessened technological status, can use energy and rebuild without having to figure out how to create and operate a nuclear reactor.

But none of that is an argument against making sure nuclear waste is well labeled and well concealed and so on.

They do increase security... but if violating security could be justified like that, then why have any security at all? You'd already have a useful justification for legitimately violating security.

Like if drinking poison builds up immunity, you don't get a free pass to feed people poison because of it. If you did, then the immunity goal doesn't matter because everyone would be poisoned to death first.
>That's 110 people who either were innocent and terrorized by the police, or were guilty and escaped justice due to police incompetency. Either way, not a good look.

To play devil's advocate: If you're going to reason that way, you should also consider the number of actual criminals who were punished only because of planted evidence.

I'm not advocating corruption - I still think it probably warrants the death penalty due to its cancerous and widespread impact on innocent people.

if what they are doing is jamming, then if you are getting timing information from a gps receiver and your receiver is in range of the jammer you will get the timing information from the jamming signal, so yes, however the USAF _might_ be including the correct timing information in their jamming signal in order to reduce any side effects of their exercise...

On Linux, qemu/kvm works well enough for most purposes, on FreeBSD you have bhyve. OpenBSD's vmm is a thing, but I do not know if it can host other systems than OpenBSD, yet.

On Windows, there is Hyper-V. I have only very little experience with it, but in my short time, I did not encounter anything I would like to complain about. I am not sure, however, if it comes with the client editions of Windows. Microsoft Virtual PC still exists, too.

Xen is also a thing - run Dom0 as your desktop system, and run the VMs in the background.

None of this is perfect, but if you need them, there are alternatives.

Java and Python are the two I have done the most with. They are pretty close, but java doesn’t seem to have anything like Django. I have gotten paid a lot more for Java work though.

Moving, cleaning, and sleeping on large green objects doesn't make for very engaging cinema.
They have a closed-source "extension pack" with a bunch of quite useful and even necessary features (e.g. USB 2.0) so that could be their revenue source, but looking around it seems that others have been rather unsuccessful at actually trying to pay for it --- the response Oracle has given them is "you can use and redistribute it for free".
Technically yes, laws only apply within sovereign borders, but this is where trade agreements come into effect.

I use Void Linux on my home theater box and I've used Gentoo on my main laptop since 2012 (I did a short Hackintosh run from 2008 - 2011, but before that I was on Gentoo since 2003).

Gentoo is a true dev OS and it's not for the meek for sure, but I've grown to love it. I really should contribute more to Void and start making package for it. I think it's one of the best up and coming Linux distros.

I find it interesting that people with such a large variety of world views (Mormons, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, atheists, etc.) can all produce groundbreaking advances in science, math, and engineering.

Pick any two of those aforementioned groups, and you'll find plenty of members from one who consider the other's members to have unfathomably bad reasoning and common-sense skills. And yet, somehow, some members of all those groups bear wonderful intellectual fruit.

How Building Codes and Taxes Shape Regional Architecture
The problem is then you have two short ladders. You throw your two half ladders off the roof and they don't magically stand end-to-end for you. You have to cut with a twist to ensure the last rungs are entangled with each other so the half-ladders are hooked together. Then you can hang one off the other and reach the ground.
Simply turning around won’t put any long-term load on the reaction wheels though - you spin up to start reorient the satellite and then spin back down once you’re in the desired orientation. It’d be slow - reaction wheels aren’t really designed for gross maneuvers like this - but this is hardly an urgent situation.

To answer the original post above, there’s nothing stopping the federal reserve from delivering communism/socialism this way except political will and leanings. The federal reserve mandates are to keep the country at full employment and keep inflation low. What better way to do so besides “seizing the means of production” through printing fiat.

I've been a customer for at least a year or more now and I can highly recommend them. They're a nice bunch and always happy to help out.

That's very reasonable :-)

I've worked on very safety-critical systems before. It's fun!

For one thing, you get to do things right. Sure, there are deadlines, but nobody dares to tell you to leave things half-baked. If it takes time, then it take time. Shoo, manager.

For another, you must dive deep into the behaviour of your embedded (mechanical/electrical/software) system and understand all its corner cases, even in the face of faults ("OK, so we're doing this operation, and now a cosmic ray hits and a crucial bit flips in RAM -- do we have a detection and safe reaction?")

Apart from the fun-ness, realise you're not in it alone. You'll be supported by a bunch of your fellow engineers double-checking your work, testing the system, etc., so your confidence in the system is quite high.

I like it.
Quit?
How does this work? Does the employer have a clause in your contract, plus a deal with this company to feed them this data, in exchange for what? It wasn't clear to me from poking around their website. Does it buy the employer the ability to query this database about their new candidates?

I don't remember anything like this when last I worked fulltime for a bigco, in 2007.

Most importantly, for a home, your costs are mostly fixed, assuming a fixed rate mortgage. Taxes can change, but you get a voice in that.

A landlord can wake up and raise rent arbitrarily in the vast majority of the US. It make take up to a year for that to take effect, but it still can. Owning shields you from that. Or from the landlord moving in upstairs neighbors who have a young kid.

Overall agree... even with Danielle Steele comment... but what about paranormal reindeer shifter novels? Or erotic menage a trois set in Victorian England? There are plenty of "simply sweet" books you wouldn't mind being asked about on the train, but there's a wide swathe of books you might not want to explain!

E-books solve a real "fat-tail" problem in romance at the same time that they allow discretion in public places. These days only Amazon knows you've got a thing for hot billionaire Navy SEALs who turn into otters at night. A physical bookstore would not be able to stock all Chuck Tingle's novels and turn a profit, and people in towns too highbrow to stock romances wouldn't be able to buy them without mail-order. (In some towns it can actually be really hard to find romance novels for sale on paper, and there's a huge bias toward the NYTimes bestsellers.)

> Swift is a great language, but it did a lot to turn iOS development into more like Javascript development. I fear that with the addition of garbage collection rather than reference counting, programmers have become lazy and forgotten they are still working within the constraints of what’s essentially an embedded device. In the Objective-C days, devs were more exposed to that side of things on a regular basis

Swift is nothing like JavaScript at all. It's not garbage-collected, it's reference counted with ARC – exactly like modern Objective-C.
Maybe because most questions about life are 'why?' questions and not 'how?' questions.
As a long-time ‘screen’ user, the Ctrl-A issue is almost completely a non-issue. One can easily send a Ctrl-A to the underlying shell using Ctrl-A A. I assume ‘tmux’ has something similar. It’s also pretty rare to need the “beginning of the line” movement in a shell, when compared to the number of times one needs to control the multiplexor. Ctrl-A is also very close at hand, and the vast majority of people are using PC keyboards which also have a Home key that work just as well for movement.
What's the difference? They're paying you for time you're not working, and if you quit, they have to pay you out the accumulated PTO.

I really appreciate your taking the stime to spell this out in such detail. I deal with an insane number of open tabs (70-100 most of the time) and multiple discrete social media identities so this could be a huge productivity boost now that I understand it better. Thanks!
Yeah, I meant vi(m)-mode in Bash/readline as mentioned in this discussion. When editing or correcting a command it may be inconvenient to destroy the whole line when switching to movement-mode (which does not happen, if it is not ctrl-c).
Maybe you meant that with an air of condescension, but anecdotally I can vouch he’s right. I have family in Europe with white collar jobs and they really are no better off than an equivalent white collar American worker despite what people seem to think.
It's a matter of preference. If you value sound over smarts, and if you have mostly Apple devices, then this is perfect. If you value smart over speaker, or if you don't have mostly Apple devices, then an Echo or Google Home is better.

"PTO" or "annual leave" typically is either a combined pool used for both vacation and sick leave purposes, or, when used to compare across employers, compares what is offered as either PTO/annual leave by name, or the sum of separate vacation and sick leave.

So, no, its not the same as vacation.

Enumerate a number of unfortunate circumstances in the United States of America today. Check.

Insist that these instances of these happenings are quite different than they ever have been before. Repeatedly emphasize how historic and unprecedented these events are. Preemptively brush off any precedents that might be raised. Check.

Make the leap from a bombastic enumeration of America's social failures to the clear and obvious conclusion that America is about to collapse. Never mind the number of times that claim has been made before. No real effort at arguing why the one follows the other. Just do some textual hand waving and presto, collapse!

Now let's wrap it all up in a ribbon by implying that the collapse is so inevitable that while it may not have occurred yet, it may as well have. So let this be an object lesson from any nations who think to emulate the United States of America. You too will find yourselves inexplicably leaping from "has some significant social problems and failures" to "the entire nation will collapse and the rubble will bury your children."
One thing I found strange about that documentary was how little mention "Google" got. Unless I missed it, the acquisition wasn't even mentioned.
Hi there,

Generally speaking the heuristic for applying BO to optimization problems is that the objective function must take at least as long to evaluate as an iteration of BO. For an equally sample-efficient algorithm with negligible overhead, you can now take twice as many samples and find better optima for a large class of problems.

The shown examples are all 2D because plotting high dimensional space is rather difficult. Also, this is intended as an early proof of concept. A more formal description of the algorithm is coming, along with better examples.

> Their recent security issues are perhaps the worst of any large corporation ever.

Apple's security problems recently may be obvious and occasionally severe, but they have been limited in scope and quickly fixed. I don't think they even come close to Intel's recent woes, Microsoft around the turn of the century, or Equifax, especially as Apple's security has had some very visible wins against the US government recently.
