This desire to "help people in need" and seeming guilt over taking care of you and your own "instead" is a thing I don't understand. If you don't support you and your family, then you and your family become people in need while at the same time you have nothing to spare for other unfortunate individuals.

The next hot new worthless language is inevitably interpreted or built on the JVM. Always. Every single bloody time. Rust is a different animal. Firstly, it was conceived by a guy with the name Graydon Hoare, which is a very robust name. Nextly, it's already 8 years old. Finally, it's a fast, compiled language with excellent concurrency and safety. I still do all my HPC work in C++ with lots of template meta programming, but I'm a masochist. I'm confident that most coders do not actively gravitate towards suffering, although it would explain a lot if they did. You know what? Now that I think about it, I'm not confident about that, at all. Still, this new Krita release looks pretty sweet, even if it's not written in Rust. Good Lord, what are we even talking about, here?
I was introduced to the term by Anne Frank's diary.
Both were deepstate making millions like everyone else. They got busted because they were working with Trump to shut deepstate down. Notice how you're hearing from pornstars about the president and not quotes from the people they're claiming are in bed with Russia and trump.

Qanon makes this clear.

They got slandered as loyalists to trump and busted for doing illegal things under Obama and CIA, not under Trump.

If they didn't do anything illegal they wouldn't have gotten their positions. It's how they keep each other in control, only promote your kind. So I can't say they're not corrupt but if they uncovered the deepstate without multinational presidental support you'd be dead like all the others.

2018 is going to be a lot of fun for the people that haven't enjoyed being American for the past 38+ years when the CIA Senior Executive Service started putting military executives in American boards instead of the CIA.

In Arizona it is legal to cross the road, outside of a crosswalk. Given that this was actually near an intersection, it probably wasn't legal in this case.
But that isn't the issue. The issue is a self driving car, which is supposed to be better than a human driver, hit the person. A person died because a company was testing their product. A product that want ready to be used in real world conditions.
I agree with that. If your database doesn't care about a "schema", there usually are no operations available which change the schema of your data. Unfortunately that also means that if your database doesn't consider the schema its problem, when you do finally want to change the implicit schema of your data, it becomes the dev's problem.

GA and FB-P both effect the document complete time; but your right, there are way way worse scripts out there.
Agreed. But to be fair I've not yet encountered such a library/tool yet. All tools I've seen leave the active table alone, and simply create a new table, do all their work there, and finally somehow switch the two tables (either in naming or routing queries). Some even perform the work on a different database server.
That's rude, and also doesn't respond to my question, which is pretty simple.
Neither Amazon nor Google run off of an RDBMS.

Relational databases are awesome, but it's much harder to achieve 100% uptime compared to schemaless, distributed, replicated data stores. You easily can take down your system with one innocuous-looking DDL migration that works great in test but grinds the machine to a halt on a production dataset.

Humanizing Peer Reviews (2002) [pdf]
Rudin is a good breviary rehearsal if one already almost-knows and feels the material. People with certain inclinations may get a warm fuzzy feeling how things neatly fit together as if by omniscient design. Otherwise it is a crossword puzzle to amuse the god himself.

You may get a feeling you understood things (and earned that), but you are wrong. When I ask people what they really remember Rudin from, what specific piece of proof they learned specifically from his main and baby books, I hear only vague answers. There is a pretense of “teaching to think” by omission, also common in some dated textbooks, but I personally would leave that to professionals over at philosophy dept. and focus on clear exposition leaving neatness for examples. OTOH if you are predisposed to lauding yourself for how smart you (or Rudin) are for figuring all the tricks (knowledge of which stays at this level), you are in for ego boost (or bust).

Especially for real analysis his treatment of Lebesgue integral is worse than just about anyone else's I know (also, in 21st century it's time for better integrals like e.g. Henstock–Kurzweil). The only thing worse is again Rudin's own treatment of differential forms.

In professional mathematics Rudin is renowed for numerous many things, among them the Rudin–Keisler order in the theory of ultrafilters and ultraproducts. It is a sign about reading order. Because as it happens Keisler also wrote a textbook, and from a diametrically opposed perspective. Equally far fetched in the other direction, one of intuitionistic non-standard infinitesimals. I think being a product of certain totalising era of uniformisation in mathematics these texts are complimentary.

For a reader interested in somewhat extended real analysis I would recommend Lang, Bressoud, Körner („Companion…”).

Mentioned Terence Tao book from weblog-notes for his original RA course is also freely downloadable as pdf.

Finally Strichartz is overly chatty wordier antithesis to Rudin.
Jupyter notebooks are meant for code sharing so that you don't have to run the code yourself to see what it does.

No, I propse the system is simplified. I want the legal system to be simple enough that almost everyone knows almost all of their rights and obligations. Without that, I claim that although ignorance of the law must not be an excuse, it de-facto is an excuse.

This isn’t just a problem for Joe & Jane Average, it’s a problem for The Elites, too: I asked a lawyer if anyone knew all of UK law, he just laughed. From the way they act, I don’t even have reason to believe lawmakers understand the laws they pass (for example, the Australian government accidentally made half of itself ineligible for office without noticing).

The average person might be able to understand a decent subset of the laws if they are explained to them, but firstly they are not explained, and secondly there are too many for any human to understand all of them. Most people do not read EULAs, based on how long they spend on that screen — they should be simple and clear enough that people chose to do so.
I don’t have any resources for analysis directly to recommend that haven’t already been said, but there’s some good videos of Calculus by 3blue1brown on YouTube called The Essence of Calculus [1]. They are really well made and explain Calculus in a way that you get an intuitive feel for it. It may be helpful to learning analysis to understand Calculus really well, but I’ve never taken analysis so I can’t say for sure.

lol. Comment appreciated :) HN, you're a tad serious from time to time.
That's completely false. That situation you just described is absolutely not structuring.

Here's the fact pattern that _would_ make you a criminal guilty of structuring:

"You have $16,000 in cash. Knowing that there are reporting events that trigger some additional scrutiny of transactions about $10,000 you deliberately break the deposit into two separate transactions with the purpose of avoiding that scrutiny. As such, you deposit $9,000 in your bank account one day and $7,000 the next".

That's structuring. It requires the intent of avoiding the scrutiny. If you broke your deposits into two transactions for any other reason, it is not against the law.

The definition of structuring is 31 USC § 5324.

> No person shall, for the purpose of evading the reporting requirements of section 5313(a) or 5325 or any regulation prescribed under any such section, the reporting or recordkeeping requirements imposed by any order issued under section 5326, or the recordkeeping requirements imposed by any regulation prescribed under section 21 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or section 123 of Public Law 91–508

It seems strange to think that he'd have a choice.

And anyway, Telegram is designed in a manner which allows its operators to easily read ~99% of the conversations between users. The same is not at all true of Signal or Whatsapp. Do you think that's a coincidence?
I've been meaning to learn kubernetes for a while now having been a docker compose user for a few years. Swarm seemed super appealing due to easy migration and simplicity. Having gone through a few tutorials for Kube I still feel a little overwhelmed with the volume of configuration, and also how local development is meant to be done. This was always a very cool part of compose.
Not referring to the internet trope (or the existence of hackers in Russia and/or Eastern Europe), but the actual BS press "Russian hackers behind this and that", which is the "WMDs" of late 2010s.

The basic counter argument to this is software engineering tools. If you have a more than trivial SS you end up needing tests, version control with branches, merge, and rebase, and an automated process for applying both.

I have a similar issue.

On any portfolio site I've attempted to build, I really dislike using the word "I" (e.g. "I can help you build a website!").. but using "we" seems disingenuious. (e.g. "We can help you with your programming woes!").

Recently though, I'm leaning towards "we" because it's better business-speak, the "we" seems less risky, and it may not be factually incorrect if you ever outsource any work.

Generally, I tend to avoid writing copy that uses pronouns altogether.
> Especially rollbacks are useful for development

I abuse Liquibase to generate sql for me by diffing a reference db to create the changeset.

Will a rollback not be comparing your new schema against your old schema and then apply that changeset? Take into account this might/will drop data.

But looking at flywaydb undo docs[0] I don't see it address anything more then the schema?

My preferred workflow with Jupyter is for code to start in the notebook but to regularly move the code into Python files as soon as it works. So the code that lives in the notebook represents the "exploration frontier" of my research but the remainder of the pipeline code stays in Python files where it can be edited with an IDE, linted, tested, etc.

I also realize that English is not the author's first language but the tone of this comes off unnecessarily negative to the (mostly/entirely volunteer) developers of Jupyter.

This is probably not going to get a lot of love but it's really not a terrible answer for many, many apps - especially anything business related where you can assume that most users work single-country office hours.

This exact same compatibility problem exists at other boundaries of your app - in particular, the web/backend interface.
Looks very interesting. I am currently reading "Seeing Like a State," which approaches the same/similar idea about using abstractions to interact with the world but focusing on governments historically. There is also the documentary "Hypernormalizaton" which has a similar idea about how the US government is completely (criminally) incompetent because the models it creates of the world are too simple.

All of it reminds me of this phrase (which I hear from data scientists): "All models are wrong, some models are useful."
I don't think password managers have as much penetration as you think and they only work on devices you own.

Social login doesn't necessarily give up that much info. Your social network knows who logged in to. The third-party only gets whatever info you accede to which usually is just an email address or name.

The huge bonus to users and site owners is that that site isn't storing a password for you. It's easy to screw up password storage.
I have never come across someone who does that.

I fee like the article is a response to an imaginary problem a la "5 Reasons why Regular Expressions suck: 1-4 They make it hard to parse HTML".

A related observation I would offer is that not every environment / system can be fixed with a layer of duct tape like this.

Unintuitive defaults, annoying long command-line options, needing to take many separate steps to complete one task are all problems that can be trivially and permanently solved with shell macros and wrapper scripts.

Performance problems, using the wrong data structures, random crashes, on the other hand cannot be solved this way.

Economists See Merit in Trump’s Trade Case Against China
Similar experience here, but with different area of the NY state government. Last year our company had a screw-up with a part-time employee that resulted in us getting a workers comp penalty of a few thousand dollars for not carrying the proper amount of insurance. We sent the workers comp board a letter explaining the screw-up, and how we've rectified the issue promptly (we fixed it as soon as we were notified by NY state). After two months, they had adjusted most of the penalties down to almost nothing and had resolved the whole issue to our complete satisfaction. The whole process was completely fair and just. We also never had any issue getting someone on the phone to talk to, and the NY state web site was very easy to use in terms of tracking our situation and getting updates.
They make it ideal for the wealthy to launder money, rather. It's just a symptom of US general lack of regulation of corporations, other than regulation meant to cripple small corporations that are threatening larger corporations. Just a product of total regulatory capture, as developed in the US from the mid-1890s, secured at the end of the 1910s, and lasted until FDR fixed the economy in the 1930s. The resurgence in the late 1970s which was secured by the late 90s is still operating at peak now, but if you judge by the last time, hopefully this will come to an end soon.
My kid just likes to run around all day and ride his bike.
I worked at a mid-size startup where all of the customer-facing people were ex-finance---I was consistently amazed by the stuff they did in Excel using just pivot tables, rudimentary graphing, and (VBA? I don't think you could use Python at the time) scripts to do data cleaning, ad-hoc CRM, even rudimentary procedural generation of web content. 90% were one-offs, so it was totally appropriate to not throw developers at the problems (recurring things eventually got built out as microservices).

The main downside was that the functions and transformations weren't sharable across documents, and often there ended up being several mildly tweaked versions of the same functions across a bunch of documents. But I think I learned something about human tool use: when motivated, people will find a way to use the general purpose tools they know to improve individual efficiency.
