Laws against discrimination, such as those for both genetic information and pre-existing conditions that already apply to health insurance in the US. Even if nothing stops you from getting the information, you are prohibited from using it.

I would be curious about the code you use. Numpy was natural for me after going through engineering school, where Matlab was taught from year 2 on. Again, that was a language much more focused on the numerics. But as soon as I had to do something that wasn't numerical (first job out of school, and for everything since), I learned to hate Matlab and love Python.

Anyhow, that experience surely doesn't map onto Julia, a completely different language. So I'd be curious to see what your use case is; it might give me a different perspective on Julia (which I have only played with a couple of times back when it was even younger).

Of course you learn a lot by doing something day day out until it works.

One important part IMO is that you are optimizing a very specific skillset, and depending on your goal it might not be an optimal for you.

It’s the same as driving for days around town in your car to learn how other people drive, how they react to your car, how your town is structured and dramaticaly improve your driving. You’ll gain invaluable insight from the experience, but from your perspective for instance you could have prefered grinding on tinder instead.

TLDR: people choose their battles
It helps when the language is the only path to write for a specific platform.
OK, fair point, I used a wrong term here. So instead of global variables we have dynamic modules that represent a stateful context object which is different depending on where they are imported and when. Very un-Pythonic, and honestly I'd prefer global variables here. :-/
A relative has been a roofer for most of his working life (maybe all), which is very long now. There's a talent to it -- a skilled roofer will provide a roof that never leaks, never sags, never loses a shingle to the wind. This relative is such a roofer. It's awful work and he's had multiple serious injuries, but it's still possible to be really good at it.
It seems like one of the least problematic ways of generating suspects to me - what's the issue compared to, say, eye witness testimony?
Maybe they should make a stackoverflow for women. The answer doesn't have to be right, it just has to make you feel good.

Men built stackoverflow. Yes, those "technical types". Men can build things like this precisely because men value what is correct. If you want somewhere where feelings have a place you should stick to the creative arts.
Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_Rouge) states that "as arsenic can constitute up to 17% of some soil samples" and references "Bausinger, Bonnaire, and Preuß, 2007".

I found this study (https://hal-insu.archives-ouvertes.fr/insu-01267232/document) but I am afraid I don't know how to read the results.

I assume that 17% is the absolute maximum proportion of arsenic ever found in a single small sample.

Isn't this the natural evolution of long running public discussion sites? In the end, the 'Netiquette Nazi's' [1] take over.

It's faster write programs in Go. But programs in Rust run faster.
oh. hoped for something substantial, worthwhile. Jon Skeet attending pride parades unfortunately isn't that. early StackOverflow model was way better (the one w/ code golfing, silly joke questions and whatnot). it was like one ring to rule them all - THE resource for programmers, flooded with brilliant minds. now it's just a boring directory of some answers full with zealots. continuously degrading in quality.
I see it as a systematic problem: When everyone's a moderator there is a trend towards the strictest interpretation of the rules. If five moderators take a look at a post the first four may see nothing wrong with it, but the fifth may still flag it.

I know the software is good, but the snake oil... Oy.
This 'bias' is not necessarily inappropriate because of the inherent asymmetries of DNA evidence - it is statistically more powerful for exoneration than conviction. This is because of the False Positive Problem (similar to the Birthday Problem in probability): if the actual incidence of a phenomenon is lower than the false positive rate of the test, a positive result is likely erroneous even on a highly accurate test.

This is why a strong prior, developed through traditional policework, is necessary to increase the reliability of DNA results - most results obtained through database trawling will be false - and these will be numerous if the database is large enough. It is also part of the reason why exonerations are more robust than identifications.

This particular case may not suffer from these statistical problems, but they are worth keeping in mind, as it sets a precedent.
Nice idea for Go3 logo
Google needs to overhaul its hiring practices if people who are not technically oriented are involved in the hiring process.

As a fellow software developer, this is pretty embarrassing that the interviewer wouldn't even pass an entry level course in college in any relevant degree program.
Keep in mind that most monitors are at least 10ms late, on top of the inherent latency introduced by the refresh rate, and most input devices are very late as well.
PHP 7.2.5 Released
Verdun and the 30 years war are to me symbols of what happens if you follow people greedy people with an inflated ego.

In each case, there's were lot of red lines that threatened the "country's honour" (read: the governments credibility), quite a few powerful factions that were to gain of a war and somehow , partly with the help of those factions and those read lines, it all spiraled out of control.

Not unlike what we see today with US (or NATO) vs Russia/Iran/Syria/NK and China to a somewhat lesser extent.
I’d like the first bit without the second bit.
You have a reasonable reply by nookoking, but you probably can't see it because he's banned.

While I agree with the general thrust of this, and am perfectly fine with the consequences and outcomes that redpill might land you if you're showing responsibility and taking steps to flirt with someone to such length -- I genuinely loathe appealing to a stereotype of women that are interested in this, because the kind of person it appeals to, or the kind of relationship it generates doesn't get me anything I like when it works!

That is to say, unless I feel like being more plastic than a Ken barbie doll, and less significant in identity, emotion, and purpose than the next 5,000 Ken models off the factory line, then I don't see how I couldn't possibly feel any more alone after applying redpill?

What I found after taking redpill and succeeding by their standards, I didn't find myself in any way happier or more at peace with myself, or happier in the company of anyone that is attracted to that. Maybe it has just been highly successful at producing traumatic experiences, which does help me grow. But there has been nothing redpill or the women it has been able to match me with that has been able to counter the type of gutless, "take-take", or just purely sexual tension-oriented relationships it seems to encourage men to get involved with! Those are highly destructive experiences if you're not careful.

My peace of mind is worth so much more than that.

I can respect redpill, because I understand what it's for. But I don't enjoy the people it connects me with. I think it boils down to a lack of a proper examination of personal happiness in redpill's promise at large, and i don't think they contend with that subject nearly as much as they should! (Though I can understand why the women like it, because it encourages men to not care about what they need to grow as a person, while essentially demeaning them to the point of being uncompensated and emotionally-deprived and ego-devalued sex servants =P)
Because there is a right and wrong answer. There is very little ambiguity, either the algorithm you wrote on the white board will do the the thing in required time/space complexity or it won't. Which makes it easy to ask and easy to compare candidates.

IMO this is horribly broken but the Big 4 do it so everyone else does too.
Besides the other examples which have been given here there are some subtle flags, too, which apparently are often used as indicators of age on a resume. I saw a whole list of these things somewhere once but I only remember a couple of them right off the top of my head.

For example, I took a typing class back in the day and I was taught to always put two spaces after the end of a sentence. But today this flags you as "old".

Also, for me a properly formatted phone number looks something like this, per convention back in the day: 800-123-4567. But today you'd better write it like the following, else you're "old": 800.123.4567.

And so on.

Of course, one of the benefits of being "old" and still working in the tech field is the ability to toss out little gems like the following, which can be remarkably effective at putting some youngster in their place, when necessary: "Jesus, what a freaking noob thing to say/do!"

Another benefit is being able to walk into a situation where the local kids are maybe in a bit over their heads, whipping out what is to them some old and mysterious IT magic, and then start solving their problems in short order. One of the last times I did this I heard "Wow, we've been trying to figure out how to do that for years now!"
Most of the "Flask ecosystem" are wrappers for some generic Python libraries which can easily be introduced to any other framework: SQLAlchemy for RDBMS abstraction and ORM, Jinja2 for templating, and so on.

People extrapolate from names. ESPECIALLY if your name sounds indian.
> only to be told that on Stack Overflow, “please” and “thank you” are considered noise

I don't know if this is still in place but it should be stopped. Saying thanks to someone who helps you is the most natural thing in the world, it's something normal humans do.

If you forbid it, then you become an unnatural place, a weird place that feels weird and uncomfortable.

You also become a kind of cult, where insiders know and accept how to behave weirdly. And cults are very unwelcoming to newcomers (kind of their point, actually).

50 Best JavaScript Projects in 2018
Both the solutions I use is mq and py based: mqttwarn[0] and celery.

What feels clunky about celery? The third party broker? Bunch of "magic" code you feel can be simpler as a couple of pika modules? While I like pika it needs a bunch of boiler plate[1] where celery is just multi-broker batteries included solution... which might feel a bit clunky.

I see a lot of zmq solutions in the wild. But I'm happy with my current setup.

Spot on. It seems to me that everybody missed the point. The gopher won't go away (it appears in the official guide) but this new brand is just a modern evolution of the official logo which was eclipsed by the gopher.
The gopher was never the logo. From the brand book:
> "The gopher is not a logo"

The gopher stays on as go's mascot. The brand book even has a page on how to draw it!

...that actually gives you numbers for owner selling vs owner NOT selling (how much are they in the hole); gives you numbers year by year; and is relatively easy to modify - in particular, it wouldn't be hard to break down numbers for housing appreciation, inflation, taxes, etc. year by year, if you know the future in great detail, instead of having just one number for each.

Let me know if you see any issues. Feel free to copy and correct or modify, or to play with. It was originally made in excel.

It is notable that for my $2700 rent and a barely equivalent 700k house I was looking at, with 3% inflation and 5% total for both housing, rent and stock market growth; if you never move, you "break even" with the renter after 41 years. Of course, if you sell you break even very quickly, but then you have to live somewhere, so you go back to the same chart, or move to Vegas.

CppCast: C++ Patterns with Kevlin Henney
Of course there are mechanisms. For example it is super easy to tell if an asker is indian, by their name. And often women chose names that allow a good guess. Other hints may also be contained in the name. Then there is the profile image, and of course the bio. And lastly, often the question itself can contain details that hint at things.

Yes, people can hide these characteristics, but they shouldn't need to.
just one word popped into mind:

Seriously?
The stringing bit in that for me is that is this “It wasn’t a matter of if he was coming, it was when,” Ms. Schubert said. Her parents were “not gun people,” she said, but her father bought a firearm. Her mother kept an ice pick under her pillow when she slept.”

I was a late Carlin convert. For anyone on the fence, give it a shot - his material in Blueprint is rarely over the top, it never feels unduly expanded, etc. He shows it respect, but you can feel his passion for the subject and he makes every detail interesting.

Because public transport is objectively better on a number of very important points. It reduces pollution and congestion. It frees up space otherwise used for parking for better purposes. It is massively cheaper for the individual.

Like I said, after a certain point, you will have to choose to downgrade other forms of transport, in order to optimize the ones you choose.

Why do you think public transport is horrible and worthless?

Where did you live? Because I live in Copenhagen, which in my experience has the very best public transport system in the world. Usage and popularity is very high, and a lot of people bike as well, also great for easing congestion.

Is it annoying when the bus is packed full and you get squeezed a bit? Yeah, but it generally only happens when there's an unforeseen delay on one of the main lines in the middle of rush hour. Another bus will come in 5 minutes, with fewer people on it.

Are some routes a little odd? Yeah, it takes me 35 minutes to get to my girlfriend, compared to 15 minutes by car. But on the other hand I don't have to look for parking, and it takes less than half the time to get to work from her place, compared to driving.

Since selling my car, I am saving so much money, it's a little bit silly. I pay DKK 375/month for the two main zones, and that covers 90% of my monthly travel. With my car, I filled the tank twice a month for around DKK 600 each time, not to mention parking fees, insurance, yearly tax, plus repairs and maintenance.

I'd much rather use that money for more traveling and other experiences.
Great to see justice in this case. On the flip side, privacy treasure trove's like this may become a tool for targeting non-criminals, for example classified cases targeting anonymous political activists or similar.

This is a false statement that Django is unsuitable for large projects. I have been working on a fairly large Django Project for 5 years now and it has been a pleasure using Django to build good and stable features that actually scale.

> The nature of Django encourages tight coupling between unrelated parts of the system - Models intertwine database operations and business logic, ModelViews intertwine db operations, business logic and the interface layer.

It totally depends how your architect your application and how you write code.

Any framework you choose, you need to write good code, keep an eye on db operations, enable caching where it is required and you will survive the scale just fine. All the arguments are exactly same in the favor of slack.

Do not spread the FUD that using a framework can magically make your application scale. I have seen very bad and very good code in both Django and flask. If you want your application to scale, you need to carefully work on it there is no silver bullet.
Maybe add Telegram/FB Messenger support? US numbers only is a bit restrictive
In my opinion SO is not very useful. The longer I code less likely I search SO. I prefer to read docs, search on issue tracker or just read the source code.

I think SO is mostly for "noobs", people that are asking how to add two numbers or use jQuery plugin. For me, it would be more useful if answers describe alternatives, big O and more context. Most answers just suggest copying few lines of code. Even for juniors, it is not good and just slows down growth.
Ask HN: What are some examples of beautiful x86 assembly code?

They are not equivalent.
