Those have only really caught on more recently.

And as more and more investment moves into them, they become mono-cultures vulnerable to large-scale exploitation.

I'm using some right now, but I don't count on their indefinite viability and performance.

Remember how LIBOR exposed fundamental problems and manipulation with respect to indexing and pricing?

Different aspect of finance. Nonetheless, you're pinning everything to indexes someone manages -- and to systems performance versus competition.

They do reflect a similar aspect; taking the average investor's attention away from individual purchases and sales, where most get fleeced to varying degrees.

Wherever your investments, you have to keep paying attention.

P.S. Have an upvote. I'm not disagreeing.
The truism these days is that you are either taking care of people, making software, or being replaced by software.

Many folks here are web/software people. Many of us would actively argue against a business owner building their own website precisely because "you don't know what you don't know", and your time has a certain value. Focus on your business, leave the tech/web/software/marketing to professionals, etc.

At some point it makes sense to DIY; at another point, switching to a professional makes more sense. Figuring out where that line is can be years of "penny-wise, pound-foolish" behaviour of DIY with respect to tax prep.
Sounds straightforward for the Bar association and lawmakers to not allow software to practice law. What profession are lawmakers typically? Lawyers.

It's also available as a standalone product (DataGrip)
I understand, but that's more of an issue of there being so many external plugins. The entirety of webpack itself is just a small core runner with plugins and they're slowly moving more functionality into the main package.

Fundamentally I think the issue just comes down to terrible documentation and the spread of outdated blogs and examples as a result. The team seems to know that and they're working on it but it should be the highest priority for them.

Honestly though, starting from scratch, you can build a complex config (with all those things you mentioned) in about 30 minutes. If you really need help then post it here or on stackoverflow and you'll get an answer pretty quick.

I see. Another angle is that Moore's and Eroom's laws describe man-made processes (which are thus not universally applicable throughout time), just like e.g. economic laws describe man-made processes.
Lawyers can't be literally replaced by robots.

No, what will instead happen is that a lawyer will be given tools that will allow them to be 100% more efficient on their own, thereby reducing the available jobs by 50%.

Even something as simple as improved search tools makes researching much quicker, which is an important part of their job.

> To be clear, the feeling of being on top of the world and superhuman is hypomania, and not full blown mania (hypo indicating "less than" mania)

Which, unrelatedly, always confused me. "Hypo" in medicine usually means "a dangerous lack of something"--hypoxia, hypothyroid--not "too much of something, but not way too much." The first time I heard "hypomania," I assumed it meant depression! It seems like "semi-manic" or something along those lines would have been clearer.
Came here for this. My favorite talk of all time. Easily had the most impact on my career.
I don't. They'll just pass a law to make robot lawyers illegal. Rent seeking can be a powerful force against automation.
What indication is there of the "sado" part? Using webpack doesn't inflict pain on others, does it? (I've never actually used it myself, but the OP only seemed to imply hurting themselves with it.)
That’s one way it could play out. Another way is that these tools that make lawyers more efficient increase the amount of legal work that takes place unnecessarily, extracting more dollars from the economy that the profession otherwise would.
I tend to believe life is universal. It may arise in a Turing machine that executes all possible programs one line at a time in parallel. It may arise in the subatomic realm... assuming sub-atomic particles exhibit sufficiently diverse complexity between 10^-35 and 10^-17 meters (a space unknown to us). It may arise between galaxies in the universe etc. We should view life more broadly.

...that was my point. The quote was cherry picked from a movie that was filmed in the 2010s. The quote would have been selected to be included by modern film makers to expose to a wide audience. People say a lot of things, which things to include in a movie? Without looking, I'd even say it's probably a real quote. That doesn't affect my point, which questions that statement's truth value.
Yeah, I've worked on medium-sized apps with React (mostly 1-2 years ago) and small to medium side projects with Vue. The number of components and rapid shifting in the React ecosystem, not to mention the absurd number of dependencies installed by create-react-app were some of the major sticking points. It all got pretty messy eventually. That experience with React is what led me to Vue personally and got me to appreciate it.

Vue.js looks more limited on paper but it was the "React Lite" that removed all of the options that ended up being used to make for complex codebases that made it work for me. It's worth noting that my React experience was with others on a dev team while Vue was solo.

I bought an MTK phone several years ago, when the MT6589 was the one to have, solely because the full datasheet for that SoC had been leaked and it had a bootloader that was "unlocked by design". SPFlashTool and the BROM pretty much makes them unbrickable. The culture around modding these relatively unbranded, cheap, and featureful devices is interesting --- and the sharing of ostensibly "confidential"[1] leaked datasheets/source/etc. is almost encouraged, unlike a certain fruit company. ;-)

It's a curious contrast to companies like Qualcomm, who will release source code openly but keep their documentation very secret. I guess that's why I'm not too bothered by MTK not releasing source code or complying with GPL --- the source only says how, but they've already leaked the why which I find far more useful for modding, or like this project, eventually fully open-source replacement.

[1] Chinese companies in general have a more collectivist approach to IP. I've heard that the main reason they mark those documents confidential/NDA'd, and yet don't seriously pursue leakers, is that it gains them sales (and "street cred" among the modding scene...) but they can still go after those who use that information to compete against them. There's a good overview at https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=4297
All three of you missed my point. Please read my response in one of the adjacent subthreads.
Ditto. Kinda.

I moved a lot of infra out of AWS and into GKE which I'm loving. Outside of GKE, which is great. GCP has a few things that I like better than AWS.

I also moved some infra into Azure, specifically into ACS, and then AKS and now ACS-engine.

It is very much not great.
The bit about structuring conversations in a way to tease out if the other person recognizes you resonates with me. It can be fun, in the sense of being a challenge or game, once you get used to it. Now I'm older and more "over" myself, I'll often just admit if I don't recognize you now.

I don't think I have what this woman has to the same degree, but I have a condition which causes me to fail to remember social and physical situations in any easily recallable way which results in similar problems.

I get it, just trying to provide ammunition for you. :D

The reality may be that there is a decent amount of brain power to go around but I can easily agree that any brain power spent of ads would have been better used if such a money printer were not allowed to exist.

With that, I can see the continued existence of advertising work as something that ultimately removes more value from the economy that it creates.
That transaction talk is really good, thank you. I can now finally name the effect that I had noticed but had trouble explaining and referring to, write skews.

It's interesting that he doesn't mention phantom reads as the difference between repeatable read/snapshot isolation, and serializable, which is what other sources tend to do.

Snapshot isolation always seemed to me like cheating the intended meaning of repeatable read, insofar as some databases refer to their snapshot isolation level as repeatable read.

That is, in the strictest sense, if you read a row twice, you get the same value with snapshot isolation, but you don't actually know that the value will be the same when you commit, which as I understand is a case of a write skew.

In fact, if one thinks of the definition of these levels in terms of locking semantics, one would expect a repeatable read to have the same meaning as obtaining a read lock on the row you read, which I understand would prevent at least some types of write skew, since no modification would be possible on that row, because it would need a write lock. There could still be hazards related to phantom reads (and possibly other effects), such as making a decision based on a computed aggregate that can change if new rows are inserted. Still, this meaning of repeatable reads would already provide a useful isolation level for various cases, except that it doesn't work with snapshot isolation.

I have a suspicion that applications out there made incorrect assumptions as to the actual isolation provided by the DB they use.
It will play out like H&R Block in accounting. One firm will aggressively automate most procedural, standard advisory and contract law, undercutting the rest. They will be joined by others for the race to the bottom. The beginnings already exist. https://medium.com/legal-tech/legal-tech-startups-9755b18f93...

PS. Any legal firm without a strategy here can hire me (at lawyer rates) to tell them how to get with the program. ;)

How does one get this level of SQL proficiency? I am not sure how to go beyond my current level of understanding, and these queries don't make much sense to me. I don't often do more than some selects and maybe an inner join occasionally, so far.
The title is still the same as the original link, but I wanted to comment on the use of the term "algorithm" in this sense. I'm wondering if that's the proper term for the output of a machine learning algorithm, and if we shouldn't be calling it "learned behavior" instead. I just feel it disparages all the careful work of library developers and the like and cheapens an important field of study.
You’re describing things that are found in many cultures, not things that are found in all cultures.

What's the importance of that? If we see the same behavior show up in many different, unrelated cultures, all across the globe, it would seem to suggest that there is something fairly deep and structural about it. Maybe some cultures can function with something different, but it's not necessarily up for debate, or something that is likely for any one culture, like our own.

With regards to anatomy, you can see a similar situation. Some people are born with six digits on their hands, some without certain organs, some with organs of greatly changed size or shape. These exceptions are a part of nature; but great regularity of structure is a part of nature, too. Variation doesn't necessarily indicate "choice" or "arbitrariness".

They probably can, but I doubt the incentives are nearly as lucrative.
No. IaaS is Softlayer which they acquired, a mix between VMs and dedicated machines. Worked well before but networking is now obsolete, operations too manual, and any price advantage is long gone.

The rest of their products are managed services running on this, similar to the other clouds, and they work fine for what they are. Bandwidth costs are always the limiting factor though with any cross-cloud situation and their Watson AI is useless and nowhere near what they hype.
> The Post is a movie about the Washington Post, which has a large undisclosed financial conflict of interest with the CIA.

A conflict of interest would be relevant, in different ways, if it was current with the events that the movie is about, or if the movie was produced by the Post.

But neither of those is true, sonit seems to be a non-sequitur.
Dry Eye: No Benefit from Fatty Acid Supplements
Look, I'm sure this is cool and all, but British Columbia is a LOT of wilderness. You can get lost in the back country pretty easily if you don't know what you're doing, and you can also lose your life ocean kayaking without proper local knowledge. Every year there's a ton of news about clueless tourists who either vanish or have to be rescued by SAR.

"Then I started paddling from Vancouver city to the west in 1991. I did not understand them tides. I did not know you can get pretabulated tables. I was paddling against tides most of the time. Somewhere between Kelsey Bay and Telegraph Cove there was 2 weeks period of fog and rain. I totally lost it. I was running out of food."

How on Earth do you think to go on a multi week ocean kayaking trip and not take tide tables.
Could you provide a source that it was Alt right people doing this?
You generally need to do the itemized calculations to see which one saves you more money. Thus, the result is kind of meaningless as you do the same work either way.

This guy doesn't understand the difference between free 'you're the product' products and free-included-with-the-product, which is actually just the cost included with the product you bought, in this case insurance. The language he uses makes it seem as though it's OF COURSE going to be in the first category, even though it's an extra with his insurance.

If they included a not-smart electric touthbrush, would he also use 'free' in a suspicious way? No, because there wouldn't be an article because it would just be part of the insurers marketing.

Kind of annoyed me.
The owners can try to sue or challenge it, in this case it may work. In other cases it's not so good. Check out the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the fight that went down.

Finally made an account to post in this thread.

I'm rather early in my career doing mostly Ruby, Python and JavaScript things. As you might expect, I consume mainly Ruby, Python and JavaScript related talks.

The first two talks that really blew my mind are:

- K Lars Lohn's PyCon Keynote from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSfe5M_zG2s

- Jim Weirich's (RIP) "Y Not" talk from RubyConf 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FITJMJjASUs

There are many other presenters who I have a good opinion of:

- Raymond Hettinger: his presentation/teaching style is something I'd like to model my own after, also he gave the first talk on writing proper threaded/concurrent python that I was able to understand and make use of.

- Brandon Rhoades: another speaker with a presentation style that I've found easy to follow, also he takes a little shot at the dd utility about 18 minutes into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Hmys8ojno)

- Sandi Metz: I started out in Python land and moved to Ruby land, where I was introduced to Sandi's talks. She doesn't talk about incredibly complex topics, but she's got insight into some really basic things that's helpful to new people who can't see the forest through the trees.

- Robert Martin: I gather that his OO principles are not universally revered, but I find his talks useful.

- Gary Bernhardt: his talks are interesting and entertaining in ways that most are not

The list goes on, but I can't think of them all right now.
I'm studying CS and don't even look at textbooks until I'm doing a problem set and realize that I don't yet know enough to solve it. In most cases, I just need to look up a definition. Then I can search for the relevant passage and read just that, which doesn't feel boring because I have a clear goal.

Of course that strategy doesn't work if you're asked to "read this book and write about it" (Obviously, I have no idea what an English major is like.), but when it's applicable, postponing reading until you have an immediate reason to do it helps me a lot to avoid boredom.

The best way is through experience. Building an ERP system for a business is a great way to run into problems that need these kinds of solutions. You’ll be writing triggers, indexes, stored procedures, views, etc.

Legally (I believe) they can't delete an account, they can only hide it or deactivate it. There are rules around the data that go beyond Facebook. Think about it. Someone's told the cops I've been using threats using my Facebook account and I hear that and request the service be deleted. Poof it's all gone. Somehow I don't think that's allowed or does anyone think I'm not making a valid and likely assumption here?

Then sure they delete YOUR data, but all the inferencial data such as which sites you clicked like on, which sites you signed into with Facebook, the type of commentary or information you share you made/shared isn't yours and the knowledge gained also isn't the users it's Facebook's so that'll all be there. So sure they won't have your face or name, but they'll know everything else about you that makes you you.

Anyway most people don't even know that Facebook owns Instagram or WhatsApp, so no matter what they say unless they are tech savvy they have up at most an account on Facebook, but not it's subsidiaries (I believe).

No because Mastodon is solely a decentralized network and is self-described as for microblogging.

My research interest includes possibilities for centralized networks (more akin to Wikipedia and Craigslist) and more kinds of sharing (more akin to Dropbox and Slack).

Historian?
This is the one compelling argument in this subthread. Thank you.

Hollywood has a long history of entanglement with the CIA and DoD in general. (How do you think so many war movies get access to equipment?) The Post was produced by Stephen Spielberg, an entertainer, not a typical careful documentarian. The social purpose of the movie is to soothe liberals at a time when their minds are being fractured by DJT and cries of "fake news". I wouldn't put it past Hollywood and the military to take this prime opportunity to insert propaganda via framing and selection of quotes.

Of course, I can't prove it that this is how this quote came to be, but what I can with certainty is to be skeptical of taking away core moral and factual positions from mass political entertainment and be doubly skeptical of claims (referring to the original claim sans movie) that come from the intelligence services (whose job it is to lie cheat and steal, duh).

EDIT: Here's an example of the CIA getting involved in the movie business https://www.salon.com/2015/09/11/the_cias_insidious_hollywoo...
