I find that most of our family 'secret' recipes are the result of trying several recipes for a given dish, picking the best one but incorporating lessons learned from the others. Its not uncommon for a page in our family book to consists of a photocopied page from a published cookbook + notes like "fully mix in the spices 1 at a time in this order:" where the recipe just says "mix in the spices".

Additional notes like "[cousin] likes this with more cinnamon, but [uncle] will always try to add more sugar" are helpful for holidays.

yes! And for those who have struggled with getting RecyclerView to work as expected, or with changing a text typeface in an action bar on some older android version, or felt that the Fragment plus ViewPager routine was a little more complicated than they'd hoped, in short for those who are looking for some different way to organize the UI and display logic, Flutter is an interesting alternative.
Maybe in cities, in rural areas it's pretty fucking easy to end up alone for a while, even in the middle ages or antiquity.
All the other generators in that grid will drive the out-of-sync station like an electric motor at a faster or slower speed until it's synched up. In effect that's what's happening in the article. Unaccounted load is pulling other generators down, making the frequency unexpectedly low.

Perhaps they're not using just frequency to coordinate (solar/wind perhaps needs a sidechannel?), and someone on their grid in a politically unstable area is using power without reporting on the side-channel. Hence the frequency drops due to the unaccounted load.

Yup. I find that most cases of "JavaScript fatigue" are really cases of "I want tools custom tailored to my use case, but don't want to do the legwork to figure out what they are".

The only thing wrong with jQuery is that it's perfectly fine until it isn't. Conversely, if you'll never need React's power you don't need it's complexity either.
+1 for mentioning Rust. Which in contrast to C++ has all the goodies without the runtime dependencies.

I wouldn't say LLVM is such a great restriction, except when talking about embedded (too few architectures supported here). The major desktop and server architectures are supported (AFAIK), even WASM.
You may be correct, but your comment comes off sounding a bit elitist.

Typesetting does not always need to be absolutely perfect, sometimes it just needs to work.

For someone who isn't 100% fluent in TeX, making small edits is much easier than having to look up all the syntax and symbol names required.

I'm going to mostly disagree with everyone here, much to my karma's detriment ;P

I agree the end-goal should be infrastructure as code, and everyone here has covered those tools well. You also want monitoring across your infrastructure. Prometheus is the new poster-boy here, but the Nagios family, and many other decent OSS solutions exist as well.

But you still need documentation. Your documentation should exist wherever you spend most of your time. Some examples:

* If you spend most of your time on a Windows Desktop, doing windows admin type things, then OneNote or some other GUI note-taking/document program makes sense.

* If you spend most of your time in Unix land(linux, BSD, etc) then plain text files on some shared disk somewhere for everyone to get to, makes WAY more sense. Bonus if you put these files in a VCS, and treat it like code, and super bonus if your documentation is just a part of your Infra as code repositories.

* If you spend your time in a web browser, then use a Wiki, like MediaWiki, wikiwiki, etc.

In other words, put your documentation tools right alongside your normal workflow, so you have a decent chance of actually using it, keeping it up to date, and having others on your team(s) also use it.

We put our docs in the repo's right alongside the code that manages the infrastructure.. in plain text. It's versioned. We don't publish it anywhere, it's just in the repo, but then we spend most of our time in editors messing in that repo.
The chinese people are much poorer for not having as much foreign companies inside. They pay extra taxes for the subsidies and quality of service by having less options.

Yes, its a huge loss for FAANG that they cant compete in china, but its also a loss for chinese people. It's just not a loss for chinese politicians, that can tout that thanks to them they created massive companies.

You can run indefinitely on a bad platform while it gives your reasonable returns. We'll see what happens when china gets its own big capitalist crisis.
>Anti-fragile is another example. Why not call it sturdy, robust, solid. Dude, English's been around long enough to have words for that concept!

He literally addresses that point in his book "Antifragile." The point he was wanting to make is that the systems he talks about are not merely resilient or resistant to stress or damage -- but rather they are systems that get more robust or strong as a direct result of damage or stress. That's the property that is harder to find a nice concise English word for.

> It's not just about planting fake evidence. It's primarily about being incentivised to lower the bar.

Yes, people do bad things without monetary incentive. It could just as easily be that some employee didn't like some 'jerk' customer. Well, maybe I will let the FBI harass them.
I’ve always gone by this little bit of wisdom...

Another buzzword - this us simply pair programming but with 3 (or more) people? Frankly, I find working in this way to work but in an extremely inefficient manner. A simple code review is often much more insightful, more efficient, and easier to communicate versus piling around a single keyboard - just some thoughts.

The bigger thing, at least among my friend group, is that some people will take a pay cut to work on something interesting/avoid doing CRUD work/etc. I feel like that's the most common reason a EE is willing to accept lower pay, though I've also generally felt that the bulk of EE jobs were in lower cost areas than the Bay or NYC, so it would be interesting to see a breakdown of EE salary by location and compare that to pure software.
Fake evidence? Maybe, but I think the primary worry is the incentive to lower the bar to the point they ruin lives.

The customer in the article had a non-pornographic image of a naked child. Was it just baby photos? The classic "naked baby on a fur rug" pose? Grandkids in the pool?
The article doesn't say. All we know is the judge threw out the case as a non-issue.

But the guy's career as a doctor is over. His life is devastated. No matter how clear his innocence is announced, he'll always be stained.

Would the Best Buy employee have reported the image if there wasn't the chance of compensation? Depends on what the image actually was, of course. Many innocent photos of children can make us uncomfortable depending on the circumstances; it's human nature to be a bit oversensitive about any situation involving kids. Some false alarms will be inevitable.

But if I was most likely a young, ignorant low level tech and someone offered me $500 (and the praise of a high authority), I could see myself pushing the button on every photo of a kid in a wet swimming suit.

Paying people to report crimes in certain situations inevitably results in many more false alarms, which can be irreversibly damaging to the accused.

I find it hard to believe a computer tech encountering real child porn needs to be incentivised to report it.
Isn't that usually what the document is for? :)

The verbalization if most LaTeX commands can help learn to read the equations. Sometimes.
I agree with this completely :)

I would also like to add that it helps to read "The Design and Evolution of C++".

I found that I plateaued early in my C++ journey. However, I was always reading from the experts and it really helped to read material from Dr. Stroustrup. Once I began to see the common thread behind what he was saying and understood why some things were the way they were, it helped understand when it's a good time to use/not-use certain things. This helped break past that barrier and to improve my skill further.

Also, it helped to write a _lot_ of c++ code and think about how that could be better.

I'm afraid I didn't read a tonne of good C++ code in that period but somehow, I managed to keep growing and at some point, it became my "go to" language and I really started to like it.

Long story, short: Read books from the experts, esp. Dr. Stroustrup.

Except history shows that is not the case...APT actors make tons of mistakes and straight up re-use code and infrastructure on a regular basis.

There is the mythical claim that "someone is doing it right" but at the end of the day, these are just people. They make mistakes and are just doing a job.
I usually get bogged down by the syntax of very many complex things that gets me lose the focus on the motive of the code. I wish we had an efficient way to learn what a declaration means. (On the lines of cdecl)

That reminds me of my experience, haha—

I spent a lot of spare periods buried in mid-20th century Canadian and American literature and would often isolate myself in the cafeteria to read since a lot of classes would occupy the library during regular periods.

The school's resident radio DJ-hopeful (and a swell guy) would hop up on the table in a reclined pose, head-on-hand, and ask me why I was sad.

> The hope was this leniency would result in a market economy that would, in turn, produce strong institutions and lay the path towards liberal democracy.

The whole point of this is that corporations have all the advantages of people with none of the disadvantages. You seem to be arguing semantics of how things are at the moment, when the entire point is the inconsistency to which the metaphor is applied.

I think the fact that, in order to "move fast and break things", we left behind the standards development process, is the saddest part. It's totally true that the standards processes (W3C) often got bogged down or lead us astray. Freedom to experiment is good as well.

But the fact that we have become dependent on frameworks that solely exist in JavaScript and external tooling, created by mainly large organizations, using techniques that work around the basic browser behavior, had me worried for a long time. I say that as someone who has been building websites and web applications since around 1997.

The flip side of this is, without all that experimentation being done by people outside of the standard process, perhaps discoveries like this one (how to do something similar using essentially standard tech) wouldn't be found. And the progress we made before the latest round of shadow and/or virtual DOM and SPA applications is what enabled us to get to the point where we could fully conceptualize them.

So there you have the interplay between the community, industry, de facto and formal standards in a nutshell. There is good and bad, especially when you are in the middle of massive technology shifts.

I for one welcome rolling some of the advancements that we have discovered into formal standards that become built into and fully supported by browser vendors. I welcome a return to "how can we simplify" where we've gotten to and roll that into the standard realm more.

And personally, if we can simplify the use of external tooling as much as possible... I think that would be a huge boon. That tooling is, I believe, going to be extremely brittle over the long run and is a risk factor.

I wish the framework developer the best of luck and thank them for looking back at what we could already do in an attempt to simplify!

Btw, I think that what I am talking about is basically the process of "exnovation" [1].

I remember being placed on a C++ project for a few months after having been away from the language for almost 10 years. The lack of raw pointers was an immediate slap in the face and had me going "WTF am I looking at?"
Depends on what kind of work are you doing. Designing a DB schema or API vs styling a website.
I know at least one example where someone made something like this before (http://kalerator.clueboard.co/), but I have no idea if what I'm looking at is viable or how to evaluate it.

I would love a solution where I could simply have a PCB made based on parameters but I guess it's not happening any time soon. Still requires specialized knowledge.
From experience I can tell you this: just 'use it' is not enough for some. I have seen truly, truly horrible code written by people who have been using C++ for decades. Let that sink in a bit, then realize that while 'use it' isn't bad advice, it is too general and too limited of a statement :P. You need to learn the right usage as well.

It's a little sad, but OpenID implementations ended up being rather one sided. Everyone wanted to be an OpenID identity provider, but fewer wanted to be on the consumer side. For OpenID to succeed that relationship needs to change.

There was simply no benefit for the larger sites to access OpenID as an authentication mechanism. Perhaps the EUs General Data Protection Regulation can change that to some extend for smaller sites that wish to store almost nothing about the users, while still authenticating them.
Additionally, human beings are lazy. Getting people to stick to what look like pointlessly complex processes is not a trivial matter.
We put everything in code. We have several layers, but they if you're new you can start with the lowest level and make your way up to find out how things are provisioned and configured.

We're on AWS so we use cloudformation for provisioning and saltstack (https://saltstack.com/) for configuration management. Cloudformation templates are written using stacker (http://stacker.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). All AWS resources are built by running "stacker build" so nothing is done by hand. We have legacy resources that we're slowly moving over to Cloudformation, but more than 90% of our infrastructure is in code.

On top of cloudformation and salt we built jenkins (CI and docker image creations), spinnaker (deployment pipeline), and kubernetes (deployment target). The jenkins and spinnaker pipelines are also codified in their own respective git repos.

All the repos here have sphinx setup for documentation purposes and the repos tend to crosslink for references.

The cost of being caught is incredibly high for the employee - they have to illegally download and store, and distribute, the illegal imagery! and commit fraud, and probably commit contempt of court, and be prepared for the fallout from the falsely accused and their family.

There's undoubtedly far easier ways for an corrupt employee to get extra cash that don't risk getting a conviction for sexual offences and for fraud/deception.

Moreover, your work colleagues have an incentive to report you too.

I'm not going to say no-one would ever, but the level of short-sighted stupidity needed is very very high.
Nice and very concise tutorial but it generously missed the entire AWS Lambda section (and how much pain it is to work with, IAM setup, API gateway setup, SDK support etc etc). Perhaps the author wanted the focus to be on Flutter and less on backend (AWS Lambda in this scenario).

>The bottom line is that paying people to report crimes in certain situations inevitably results in many more false alarms, which can be irreversibly damaging to the accused.

False alarm or not, paid or not, the Best Buy guy only identified and turned the pictures over to authorities. He did not file the criminal charge and had no influence on that process. There are many more safe guards in place, the FBI and the prosecutor and the prosecutors boss. They made the decision based on the pictures, and yet another safe guard was the judge.

Your point is taken and well received about the damage being done, but that has nothing to do with the Best Buy guy/payments. The FBI/prosecutor could each have independently made the decision the photos were not child porn.

Prior to digital cameras, drug stores that used to develop film (maybe still do) were notorious for identifying pictures of crimes (child porn included) and turning them over to authorities. In law school there was a pretty well known case of one such defendant who was the grandfather and the photos were of the grandkids running through the sprinklers in the yard naked. I won’t mention the outcome, but charges were filed and either way the damage was done, but is it the fault of the film developer? Does it really matter if the developer was paid or not?
