I mean things have been pretty bad for GAE standard in Python for a very long time. It looks so dead I was actually expecting Google to completely remove it in 2 years or so.

I work on a project on GAE standard and the platform was chosen before I started. I would say this was the worst possible solution to chose and the biggest cost for us right now.

The most annoying point is that it is actually not easy at all to switch to the Flexible environment, because libraries are completely different.

Examples of troubles :
- new google-cloud libraries run in the flexible environment but not in the standard one (ex: google-cloud-pubsub doesn't run in the standard env after 0.27, and the doc for 0.27 is dead: https://google-cloud-python.readthedocs.io/en/0.27.0/pubsub/...)
- traditional standard env libraries do not run in the flexible env. The most typical example is NDB for the Google datastore.

Which means that migrating from the standard to the flexible env requires you to rebuild EVERYTHING that touches Google services... Great, then I'd better just switch to AWS instead!

What's moer, flexible env is nice but for some reason it is not possible to have basic scaling anymore, nor is it possible to scale down to 0 when needed, which makes modular apps much more costly (previously we would have several services and when unused they just scaled down to 0).

On top of that we just watched services get deprecated one after the other (mail service, then the datastore backup etc.) and old troubles not getting fixed (like memory problems with queries).
Coinbase and other platforms have existed and been in viable state a long time before the huge December 2017 bubble
a lot of Gulag has been internalized in the populace.

Ah, exactly - I don't think that's why it continued to work. Consider, for example, how quickly and effectively the system replicated itself all over Eastern Europe. Those places had their bloody coups and brief periods of Stalinist terror but nothing of the Soviet scale and duration. Many avoided outright forced collectivization, a few didn't even require a permanent occupying Soviet army. And it still worked.

As I said, WHO recommends free sugars to be less than 10% of daily calorie intake. And suggests going down to 5%. Source: http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/guidelines/sugar_i.... An adult that takes 2000 calories, should not take more than 25g of free sugars. Now tell me if it's easy for you to not go over the limit.

Free sugars are not needed. The body already takes sugars from vegetables and fruits. That is the problem, 'moderation' is what the industry sells and that's what we keep repeating every day. Free sugars found in processed foods are NOT NEEDED to live at all.

Moderation in this context means taking something certainly bad for you occasionally like heroin or alcohol. Do what you want, but don't lie yourself.

Unfortunately, certain psychedelics have the effect of imbuing everything with significance, which results in apparently "earth shattering" revelations during an experience which later turn out to be dross. Unfortunately in some cases people carry on believing the dross.

It's like hearing a song or a joke in a dream which seems really beautiful or funny, and turns out to be utterly dull when you wake up and replay it.

So sure, altered perceptions give the lie to some of our assumptions about the world, and can lead to some interesting insights, but they also add a lot of new assumptions which are not healthy, and certainly aren't adapted to functional life in the non-psychedelic world.
That article doesn't quite support what you're claiming. The Vanilla JS implementation uses optimised DOM mutation techniques that are inspired by how the Virtual DOM libraries do things, but it doesn't re-implement a Virtual DOM. Yet it's faster than any of the Virtual DOM implementations its benchmarked against.

So the takeaway is that DOM mutation can be slower or faster depending on the techniques you use. Using a Virtual DOM library can help you improve performance, because these techniques are often baked in, but they don't intrinsically result from using a Virtual DOM: You could write a V-DOM library that didn't use them, and was slow, and you could write, for example, a static template library that did, and was fast.

In theory, a compiled, static template approach should be faster than V-DOM (or anything other than a set of totally bespoke and optimised vanilla JS functions for each app operation). Because while a compiled template does not have the turing-complete flexibility of something like JSX, it has the advantage of knowing in advance exactly which parts of the DOM can change and how, which eliminates the need to build and diff the Virtual DOM tree.
While I admire your hopefulness that this could solve the problems, I don’t think it will for two reasons.

1. This is what the DOM is, to some extent. All those components on the page are “native” components, we have declarative markup for them (HTML) and we can script them. They are “rendered” by native code in browsers which are some of the most highly optimised codebases around.

2. The API design for JS and for higher performance systems is quite different. Take UITableViewDataSource for example, it does view prefetching, caching, object reuse, etc. As of iOS 12, this also feeds into the CPU throttling control to ensure enough compute is available on a cell fetch that it will meet the 8-16ms deadline so that no frames are dropped. This is just a totally different way of thinking about APIs and performance that the JS ecosystem is not designed to work with.

It’s possible that a total rewrite of that stack could provide significant benefits, but I think that would be more from removing legacy cruft in the DOM, than from it being a paradigm shift.

Most of the early machines had BASIC because of the book and the rising desire for BASIC. Also, the reason Microsoft made it initial money selling a BASIC interpreter for the ALTAIR is because people wanted BASIC, again mostly because of the book.
As a small startup, we give our entire development team full access to our AWS accounts - we want as little as possible overhead to develop, deploy and support our services. However, then storing those credentials on developer machines can be a big security risk.

I've recently come across AWS Vault, and it seems to solve the problem in a very nice way:
* You give very limited access to users by default.
* Each user can "AssumeRole" into an Admin role (or more specific role), with mandatory MFA, to perform changes to infrastructure.
* All other tools only ever have access to temporary credentials, never to your permanent credentials.

All of this can be done with the standard AWS cli, but AWS Vault seems to give very nice tooling around it.

Stupid question from a rookie: How would one be able to invest in those companies ?

I like to follow new promising tech companies and I 'm interested to invest a part of my portfolio in it but I'm afraid I don't have the minimum required or that I live too far (Europe).
It happens. It will almost certainly sort itself out in a few hours, though.
Lately, it has felt like Google has become more optimized for less intelligent/tech-savvy users (i.e. people who search using natural language e.g. “tell me the store policy for target please”). In these cases many of the words used are either irrelevant or counterproductive.

I’ve noticed Facebook’s search has started catering to the lowest common denominator as well. Searching for (made-up example) “Louis Potter” used to give all exact matches priority. Current results look something like 1) Louis Potter 2) Luis Porter 3) Louis Potters 4) Louis Potter (#2). I don’t like when search engines assume that I’m misspelling words/names, and it would be nice if they adapted for individual behavior in this regard.
I found this part to be one of the most common gotchas of macaroons. As often happens when everybody is "holding it wrong", users are not probably the only ones to be blamed.

That said, macaroons (from what I understood) are meant to be a token that is only verifiable by the issuer.

Third party caveats allow more complex scenarios, but they necessarily involve actual s2s communication to set up (as opposed to the "verification at a distance" allowed by pure asymmetrical crypto)

For example: service A issues a macaroon to service B. Now imagine service B needs to talk to service C, which in turns needs to ensure that B can perform some action on service A. If C could verify A's public key signature, we could stop here.

With macaroons, C needs to issue a macaroon to B, with a third party caveats that requires B to obtain a "discharge macaroon" from A. When B later performs the request on C, it brings both macaroons (the one issued by C with the 3rd party caveat, and the one issued by A, that proves that the caveat is discharged).

C can verify such a macaroon. In particular it can cheaply verify that A is the source of the 3rd party verification.

> As an example, I googled for "storename return policy", and got page after page of results. All of them were tagged "missing storename", so just randomly picked return policies from other stores.

I think it helps to put the critical search term in quotes. At least in DuckDuckGo, `"storename" return policy` would exclude results that are missing "storename".

Yeah, pip. You could install it manually, but to be honest, pip and virtualenv are fundamental today (I mean, before containers, but still)
> Sugar and sweets has been a fixture of life for hundreds of years, but two major things have happened: cheap, processed food, ... As long as you burn it off again through physical work, sugar isn't terribly bad for you.

That is an opinion based on 0 studies and ignoring WHO and many other studies that show free sugars are bad for health.

Then eat free sugar and call me when you get diabetes. Instead of eating healthy, whole fruits or vegetables you are accustoming your palate to sweet taste, generating rejection for healthy foods. To be honest, I don't see anything good about (high/ultra) processed foods.

The only truth here is that yes, ADDED/FREE sugars are something new, which only shows how unnecessary have been for the human race to live.

Not sure why this is getting downvotes, it carries a lot of truth. Internet-based tech companies like Google have matured to the point where many innovators have left and MBAs have invaded, favoring short-term profit over user experience.
Rather, warranty that comes with mandatory technical inspections at authorized repair shops that cost you fortune, original spare parts that cost you another fortune, not to mention things like upgrading maps in your built in navigation system for 300 USD.
So would you have rather got results with only 'storename' and not 'return policy', or no results at all, or what's the problem here?

If there was a result containing the whole search string it would (I believe) have been the first one.
Photographs are objects of past. Yes, if the alternative allows me to do what best describes as the recording of the present age & share to all users.
So true, I can ask Google a range of verbal questions and get great answers, mostly what-is-the-fact questions.

At work we are nowhere near asking an intranet "show me the last pentesting report for Tony's new website" or "show me the change requests for the failed change this quarter". I know exactly what I want, and how to ask, bit I will not get the results I want.
You are not getting it. Added/free sugars are in PLENTY of foods and beverages not only a birthday cake. Don't you take a coke more than once a year? chocolate bars? cookies? Sauces? Cereals? Coffee (starbucks and similars)? food for babies... It's everywhere.

And here, we are only talking about added/free sugars and not palm oil, refined flours, in general, bad quality ingredients (but cheap for the food industry).

Eat whole fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, some meat, fish, etc... that's the easiest rule, go back to what we ate just a hundred years ago.

Yes, you can take a cigarette, a beer, wine, but just be conscious that you are not making yourself a favor. And.. just one question, what if you find pleasure in good things instead of bad things that you crave for on friday night, etc...? We use drugs, alcohol, sugar, cigarettes to avoid stress, thinking/pain... what if we face the issues instead of avoiding confronting them with plenty of addictions? We also have sport to generate endorphins, the natural way of lowering stress levels...
Definitely valid point (that there are very different types of "search", not just one universal way to do things), but:

2) Google does not do simple keyword matching, and certainly has a strong sense of "semantics".

3) Try searching "Cheap hotels in San Francisco" or "Plumber jobs in Chicago" in Google. Just because it's a single search box does not mean all results are generated/displayed in the same way.

As someone who grew up playing Doom I have to admit that video makes me uneasy - almost like an "uncanny valley" effect. Although I can see why it might be easier on the eyes for modern gamers and if it introduces more people to the game then that can only be a good thing.

I think what happened was that 3.2 was the first "real" release, when a lot of .0 bugs were shaken out; the 'u' prefix was added back around that time too, iirc.

This resulted in more developers actually porting their libraries, an effort that had been basically non-existent before. The result was that the 3.4 ecosystem actually got mature enough that Real Work could get done, and more end-users started moving.

IIRC 3.3 also had some big performance problems that were sorted in 3.4, but I cannot remember the details.

Personally, I did very little with 3.2 but actually built Real Stuff only with 3.4.

I wish more people would continue living youthfully into adulthood, and continue to do so for as long as possible, with the limits of old age being an emergent phenomenon forced onto them rather than something they unwittingly eagerly pursued through laziness and boredom.

If you ride a bicycle every day, barring some injury forcing a prolonged break, you'll continue to be able to deep into old age. Anything we practice regularly we retain the ability to do. "Use it or lose it."

My fellow Americans in general tend to cease most physical activity once they get a driver's license. From that point on, it's a life of sitting in chairs of various forms, day in, day out. The body adapts to this, and by their 30s it's already non-trivial just to sit on the floor and get back up unassisted.

Don't stop playing outside, riding bicycles, running, frolicking, all the behaviors of youth - don't stop just because you're an "adult". Do this all, do it as much as possible, all of your life, until you're physically unable. This, in my opinion, is the dominant factor in aging well.
