Perhaps, but making it easier for them to make bad choices is not the way to go.
I'm not even 100% sure where my mother was born. Her family moved around a lot back then (military) and her and each of her siblings were born in a different city. She passed away almost two decades ago, so it's not like it would ever come up now. I guess I could try to find her birth certificate somewhere in my dad's papers assuming he still/ever had a copy.
One of the joys about dealing with partners is that occasionally offers change over time as partners’ strategies change, their interest in particular programs of theirs changes, etc. We can offer new Stripe Atlas customers (as of April 2018) up to $5k in AWS credits at present.
Wouldn't : and = make it equally (heh!) hard to use the wrong operator notation?
Just noting this as I have some successful use cases of microservices as it may help others. What I mean by successful is I have reused them in many projects without having to modify them for each project, meaning they stood alone with only needing some config items to add one or more clients.

1) Authentication - JWT and OAuth provider related, can be used with multiple clients or installed per client
2) Pre signing of S3 uploads (very tiny file to do this one)
3) Ecommerce api w / shipping using fedex and stripe
4) Plugable CMS with JS dropped on a page used for UI and auth and S3 used as content store with an API sitting in between

I guess some of them could be considered just an API? But if you can reuse it generally and the scope is fairly narrow, that is more of what a microservice should be. There is also the tradeoff where you may be thinking if this is so tiny, why even do it?...which is probably a good thing to consider before adding more complexity.
The problem is not that right-wingers engage in hate speech, it's that they do an extreme version of a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

> The engineer in question now has to support multiple variants of the driver, and QA has to acquire several of these screens and maintain a dedicated test rack of them.

Conversely, the update just needs to reliably detect if the screen is Apple brand, and abort the update if it's not. If this can be done, then the current driver could be considered generic and working everywhere, and the engineer would just need to maintain the generic and the current version.

That is, if Apple didn't mind to pay for making easier for third parties to get sales instead of Apple. Somehow I don't think that's the case.
Neat. I've done that on the occasional web site, although matched to time of sunrise/sunset. I imagine reading from a light sensor is more accurate, but it isn't available everywhere yet:

Families break apart because the persons involved don't make the necessary effort to uphold the relationships anymore and there are no economical necessities that hold the people involved together. Not because of prostitution.

Prostitution (might) spread STDs because there is no regulation and oversight, no health-check mandate for prostitutes (of either gender).

All those issues you cite don't really stem from prostitution and making/keeping prostitution illegal will not make them go away.

I do 2-5 day water fasts, and it has very clear health benefits. There urgently needs to be more research into it, especially for autoimmune diseases (like the ones you mentioned), but I don't think it will cure those diseases by itself.

If your brand of feminism has you comparing adult women to children incapable of deciding what is best for themselves, I think you've lost the point somewhere.

I hear that but I don't believe it for a second. In fact I noticed something really interesting...

Install Facebook and Instagram on iOS. Launch FB and note how long it takes to start, now launch Instagram and do the same. Instagram starts up nearly instantly.

Now, force quit both apps and remove Facebook. Start Instagram and all of the sudden it takes much longer to start. I don't know why this is but it certainly shows a deep connection between the apps in a way that users are probably not expecting.
Congress is too old and clueless to ask smart questions. Zuck's acting all Lore from Star Trek. FB stock is up just because people keep thinking they'll beat this shit, which they won't.
What are those "clear and studied effects"? More importantly, just how "indirectly" do one of those 20,000 employees need to be tied to the work you dislike before you'd acknowledge that rebuffing them is silly?

Are there other companies you'd indiscriminately never hire from? What about Google? How is their data mining materially different, in your view? What about a subcontractor for Facebook? Would you hire engineers from a startup which advertised on Facebook? If so, why are they not complicit?
I have been using Python for a while now, and its rarely that the language is too slow (I have encountered it on one problem). A lot of Python is for web programming where you optimize the database and set up caching to improve performance. If you want to do some heavy number crunching Numpy is apparently not far of C in terms of performance.

Obviously its a case of the correct tool for the job and depends heavily on the type of software you are writing, but in most cases its a different type of optimization that is needed for Python code.

Not sure why a contract development shop is putting stuff like this on their blog. Perhaps they have small clients asking for microservices when unnecessary?

Agree that this headline is presumptive and so is the article. Not every piece of engineering is a "slap it together in 3 weeks" build and many systems are designed with independent parts that use different technologies and scale at different rates.

I think what the author was trying to say is: "If you don't have enough experience to derive an architecture that isn't just some battle of buzz words or copying off blogs posts, you're in for a crude awakening when you have to maintain, scale, and refactor your work. Also, creating and maintaining a continuous delivery architecture with tons of moving parts is a lot of work".

At large companies (and small) devops, engineers, architects, CTOs, and many other players collaborate to develop an architecture which evolves over time and includes legacy systems, greenfield projects, duct tape, off-the-shelf bits, vendor-specific bits, open source bits, and other concerns that all have to work together. These organizations already have massive teams (or small and really good teams) taking care of making sure everything works together.

If you have a small team, little funding, and/or little experience you are probably getting in over your head trying to architect and orchestrate tons of moving pieces. It really depends on what you are building, your budget, and your team as to how you should build. Some industries and products require complexity, scale, and proper function from the beginning while others are accepting of bugs, scaling issues, and long delays.

TLDR: There's not a simple playbook that defines how everything should be engineered. Also, don't read some poorly written blog post which provides zero insight on the complexities of approaching an engineering challenge and decide to choose X or Y approach.
I think it's exactly that sort of helplessness. I never did have control over what was shared with Equifax or what they told other people about me.
Despacito video deleted by a hacker
You have missed the point. The concept here is low-latency, low-compression.
You say that like it's some sort of impossibly silly idea? I have to admit to not being entirely certainly how to score it myself, because in terms of direct damage the Equifax is worse, but in terms of what is corroding society Facebook is worse, and it is not immediately obvious to me how to compare the two radically different vectors.

The idea that the only possible reason to believe one side or the other is that one is in direct pay of a nation state spreading propaganda is probably one of the more anti-intellectual things I've heard this week. Or something like that. Don't have a great word for what this seems like to me. But it's definitely a "what???" moment.

Also, he says you should take a break or switch context when you get tired.

And you should definitely be happy doing the thing first. If you're not happy, maybe you don't really want to be doing it. Delegate, or get rid of that task quick and dirty.
As an European I care very little about Equifax as it doesn't affect me.

Facebook on the other hand, affects me because I used to bena member and also because Facebook's tracking tentacles are all over the web.

TL;DR: the Facebook data leak is a global issue, the Equifax leak is only an American problem.
Keep in mind, business entities and tax classifications are different things. You can be an LLC and then elect to be taxed as a C Corp. Usually this doesn't make sense unless you need to prevent income from passing through to the owners. Apart from that, everything you can do with a C Corp you can do with an LLC (issue options, split equity, take investments, etc.), just without that double tax and administrative overhead.

In this day and age, there are very few cases where forming a corporation, taxed as a C Corp is an ideal structure for most businesses starting out.

Why is it important that Facebook was the medium? Zuck just done saying that they identified 400-500 Russian accounts the were politically active. The "unapproved" in quotes part there is that these are Russians.

Simultaneously, there were tens of thousands of foreign nationals demonstrating in the streets of major cities all over the country, and this is "approved." This is why I'm left wondering: what are we after?
isn't most investing speculative though?
There is a lot of meta-knowledge buried in using those few features that he is probably referring to. Knowledge of language features is one thing, knowledge of when to use them is another
in primary school the focus in expressions involving = is reduction more than equality:

2 + 2 = 4
<n terms> = <constant>

I don't recall teacher showing you equalness through stupid but important ideas:

2 + 2 = 2 + 2
2 + 2 = 2 + 1 + 1

all these are equal, and it's important later on when expression, with variables, aren't reducible to a constant but to another expression which is equal to the other one. IMO it would help a lot for people to try to simplify a problem into a known identity or interesting form (for instance the 'trick' of adding and subtracting one to get closer to binomial formula or other)
Backpage Founder's 93 Charges Lack Actual Sex-Trafficking Claims

So sometimes people from one gender or the other can't get sex through casual relationships through one reason or the other, like large groups of men dieing in a war, China's gender imbalance, a shitty personality, etc.

Are you saying that they don't need sex at all and should go without? Because that's a pretty puritanical viewpoint that hasn't been backed up by any sort of history.

Additionally "need" can be pretty subjective. People's sex drives are some thing they are born with. We don't "need" rare earth metals to have shiny electronics so why is it ok to have people forced into mining by it being their only choice economically?
Why now though? And why facebook specifically? Are we going to bring in google for gasp reading our emails?

this might not be fact but I like to think that the colon in := might have been dropped just like diacritic symbols were dropped from the English alphabets. I am not a native English speaker so I had similar issues learning the English script. It was particularly hard to grasp things like why 'do' and 'go' are pronounced differently. But overtime I released that eliminating extra characters reduces a lot of unnecessary complexity and makes your writing faster.
To me it seems like the GDPR will hurt Facebook’s competition, the ad networks, far more than it will hurt Facebook itself.
Is it moral to use sex to manipulate someone into giving you the things that you want?

Just because it happens doesn't mean it's something that can't be construed to ALSO cause harm.

I would be devastated to know that a partner was only having sex with me to further some other goal. I don't see how this is good for the parties involved.
Clearcase was fucking awful when I had to use it. My install was so fucked I needed a whole new Windows reinstall.

This is money.

> FB profile

This contains information about who you are (psychologically and physically). It can be used to change your mind about things with/without you realizing.

Though I'm not disagreeing with your point that one was an accident/bad practice while the other one was willful malice.

What I do disagree with (that OP mentioned) is that you can opt out of Facebook. They do keep shadow profiles of non-users as well. It's just as easy to opt out of SSNs as it is to opt out of Facebook.
Just a semantic nit pick on PII (personally identifiable information)...

Name is PII, location at a high enough resolution is PII. The rest are metadata about an individual but not PII. Knowing someone is a straight male doesn't tell you enough to identify a person.

This is relevant because GDPR (and other things) special case PII.
This is great advice thanks!!
It's not as if there were any absolute moral values. And if everybody involved can give informed consent, why should that not be enough?
Cool one. Would love to try it soon.
I doubt it qualifies as the "State of the Art", but I've had good experiences with GHCjs for small projects.
I'd suggest trying to build up a few front-end components from scratch on your own. Try your hand at menus, accordions, and even modals. See how difficult it is. CSSTricks is an amazing resource for learning this kind of stuff. Really get to know all the issues.

Once you understand how many problems Bootstrap and other similar frameworks solve, you can use it on a case by case basis. If you need to get a large app completed in a limited amount of time, it can shave months off your development time. However, there are costs when it comes to how easy it is to customize and how large the library itself is. Also, when you run into css bugs or want to change a component to work a little differently, the foundational knowledge you established early on will come in super handy.

As a full stack dev, I personally prefer starting with a minimal toolset, like a css reset and some small css utility libraries. That keeps things simple and I can make sure I don't run into any big surprises. It also matters a lot because I like to keep my designs "pixel perfect", so the odd padding or random margin can really hamper my flow. However, if I ever needed to build out an internal-use only admin interface -- or if someone hired me to build an MVP in under 3 months -- I wouldn't hesitate to turn to bootstrap (or a similar framework).

If you want modern Javascript I'd say React is a better choice than Vue.

I spent 10 years doing embedded Javascript(not web) and wanted to see what modern webdev was like.

Vue came highly recommended but I do not feel like I am writing pure Javascript when writing Vue. Vue might be a better choice for someone who does not want to write JS.

The hip people told me to avoid React (FB, too massive etc).

Surprisingly React feels great for writing Javascript. Just learn ES6 features(arrow functions for one) and go to town.
Families don't break apart randomly. One of the main reasons is spouses cheating.

Well Ada uses := for affectation and = for actual equality.

In pure algorithmic notation, people might use <- or <= instead.

Edit: I think people have wildly differing interests, and that IQ and something like theoretical physics go hand in hand.

Issac Asimov wrote an essay years ago about intelligence, where he pointed out that when the doorbell rang, he jumped up and answered the closet. (his IQ was pretty high, and was member of MENSA). Yet, he still marvelled at how smart his mechanic was at fixing his car.

To Asimov, his mechanic was a genius, but his IQ wasn't likely very high, and would therefore correlate neatly with the notion that the mechanic likely could care less about physics. While the reverse was true for Asimov.

There is no official rule about it. IMO YouTube is a little more open then FB and FB may require you to login to view content.
I think "the protection of individual liberty" in this case includes regulation of corporations which act against liberty. The request is that the government not grant special privileges to some corporations refers mostly to things like subsidies and special contracts. On the other hand, if a corporation is acting in a way that puts people in danger, for example excessive pollution or selling defective products, there's no basic ideal of classical liberalism or libertarianism that would prevent the government from acting to stop it. The point of this article is that the idea of libertarians opposing all government regulation is false. They tend to want to restrict but not abolish it.

That's not to say that it's a flawless philosophy. It's definitely one that's created out of idealism and faith in humanity, which might not always be warranted. In a way, it has become self-defeating in its success because it has empowered individuals to believe they're wiser than they are, leading to people who are more easily manipulated by well-crafted rhetoric that stokes the ego and convinces them that they know something that others don't. Characterizations of different groups as stupid and maybe even a little evil are particularly effective for this kind of manipulation, like the kind that the author here argues against.
He's doing a great job avoiding fucking up so far.
It isn't just mathematically unsound, it's the cause of many errors, especially in C. Certainly a "million dollar mistake".

A classic way to guard against accidental use of assignment in logic statements is to write it "backwards", i.e.:

if (2 == x) {...}

Since (2 = x) won't compile, while (x = 2) will not only compile but might appear to work for a very long time.
Looks impressive. Looking forward for more projects by you.
> "=" was used in Fortran.

And most BASICs, though some (most?) required the keyword LET to introduce an assignment, as well.
