Yes unfortunately that makes for some miserable training.
I've tried and tried to do something like this, but it always ends up as a poorly maintained wiki or similar. Maybe the key is that they are living documents for you rather than a write-only sink.

Great stuff
Well, idle memory usage is not a super useful metric to measure for an app that uses a GC. And in fact the comment was about speed... speed and memory usage can often have inverse relations (think caches)

Startup time is not super useful when using a framework with 200,000 lines of code. Try creating a webserver using Java + a servlet, you will be serving requests in < .5 seconds on a modern machine...
What are lodash transformations?
When I was a SQL Server database engine developer at Sybase in the early 1990s I had an engineering interview candidate like this. About ten minutes into the interview he started explaining to me that SQL was a fraud, that the world would all be using the much superior PICK system if only Oracle and Ingres and IBM hadn't conspired to force SQL on everyone. He got quite vehement. The highlight for me was the heated assertion that SQL was like communism.

Fortunately he was sticking to the interview schedule and left without becoming abusive. Unfortunately I was so taken aback that I failed to ask the only remaining interview question: "So comrade, why do you want to work with us here in the Kremlin?"
> Every wants

This seems like mere selection bias.

As the sibling comment points out, users who have no problem aren't likely to post "Everything is fine!" to the mailing list. In fact, it would likely be rude to do so.
Can you elaborate this MITM attack? How would it work?
Not GP, but he was saying pressure cooker over slow cooker. I got an instant pot about 6 months ago and I probably use it as much as my stovetop now. Even if you're pressure cooking a stew (it makes Indian cooking actually achievable) you can brown the meat in the same pot.

While it does double as a slow cooker, I have never actually used that functionality.
My mom moved to Cambodia full time two years ago at the age of 60 to become a librarian at a rural orphanage on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, where electricity is often scarce and access to the internet is a luxury. She's a remarkable woman, doing a remarkable thing, with some remarkable children.

Access to laptops, such as the one described in this article, could play a huge role in helping the youth of Cambodia find good work in the global economy. Children from her orphanage are fortunate enough to have an opportunity to learn english, complete high school, have meals every day, and have access to quality health care; however, many still end up struggling in their early adulthood, such that they find themselves often working as prostitutes to survive.

A single family member having access to a high paying job for that area can absolutely transform generations, so anything any of us can do to help make that a reality goes a long way. If you have an opportunity to hire a remote worker, think about hiring from Cambodia!
My comment above was intended to add some value and perspective on using Hugo in a real world business/industry/paying customer website scenario... something beyond a personal blog.

So RE: the main discussion here about Jekyll and Hugo and static site generators (SSGs), I think that if you take a moment to consider the difference between the SSG/JAMstack approach vs. the traditional "build the response on every request" back-end approach (and I'm not picking on .NET and SQL Server there, I've developed many sites using them myself) you'll see that there are some huge differences[1].

I think the most important difference is that with SSGs and JAMstack, your back-end code only runs at build time, on free build server infrastructure. There is no runtime back-end code, and therefore you can operate these JAMstack sites, at scale, at zero or near-zero operating cost. In the case of my customer, I estimate I saved them $100K over the life of this new site. Of course, your use-case must align with this sort of architecture. Not every site can or should be totally re-generated when content is changed.

And importantly for my customer, they did not have to sacrifice a nice, user-friendly content-management experience. I happen to be using Netlify CMS, but others like Contentful and Forestry are nice options too[2].

> it forced a terrible 3D technology on all its users

That's a little strong, considering there's a switch to turn it off or even the option to get a 2DS.

I usually turned it off (except for Bravely Default which has gorgeous 3D art in the towns).
Hey, just giving you a heads up that the www version of your site gives me an SSL error. https://rammy.in works though.
It's frustrating - Sony (to some extent) "gets" online functionality where Nintendo is still stumbling all the way.

I own a 3DS and a Switch and you have to be on each of those platforms to buy games online. I've got a PayPal account linked to the Switch but it's unavailable on the 3DS. In Australia they never opened up ec.nintendo.com so you can't buy games in a web browser.

I'd say the 3DS is in the "dead, but doesn't know it yet" stage - killed not by a competitor, but by the Switch itself.

PS: The price of Vita memory cards is still a travesty.
Generally in large enterprise businesses Senior engineers are normally individual contributors that can independently architect, design, secure, scale, deploy, maintain and close out individual small to medium size programs normally in the thousand to possible low double digit million dollar value range. They will normally interact with other employees, vendors and stake holders in their business unit to achieve goals. Their documentation, CI/CD are normally very in-depth and high quality (95% code documented, user, developer, admin manuals, product slides, etc). Mistakes made by the Senior Engineer may cause loss of revenue due to individual program failures or loss of employees on the team, normally these issues can be recovered from within a short period of time. These engineers may serve as a tech lead and report to a Principal/Senior Principal or Managers for their program. They will also normally help with interviews and some current program planning and proposals for new programs. You may also be in meetings related to your program or office.

Principal/Senior Principal software engineers are also individual contributors that normally do what senior engineers do, but are normally trusted to deal with engineering and technical management of the larger multi-high double to hundred million or billion dollar enterprise national and international scale programs due to having a large history of successful programs experience (e.g. 10 years minimum normally that are critical core business programs). If they make mistakes it can normally causes grave problems to the entire organization that may not be recoverable, multiple closures or high revenue losses across multiple programs. These engineers normally report to C-Suite Executives, and Senior Management, they may also have managers under them. They will normally also provide general and in-depth documentation and training for multiple programs and mentor senior and junior engineers. They will normally write proposals, presentations, BoMs and write job descriptions for multiple program staffing requirements for the company and may serve as program(s) managers or in a supervisory capacity. You will normally be in meetings about multiple programs under you for multiple offices and working on future business programs in the 5 to 10 year range.

There are also normally Fellows grade employees in companies and these individual contributors may service as strictly long term technical business development or program review and sustainment types. They normally have the around 5 to 10 years working as a Principal or Senior Principal engineers but focus more on the technical business side (think more program management with technical skills for future programs). They may also help with the larger enterprise wide programs and normally report to C-Suite Executives or Senior Leadership. You will normally be in meetings helping gather information about programs under your for multiple offices and very long term future business endeavors 10 to 20 years.
Edit: I just remembered that WebAssembly has JavaScript based polyfills. Disabling WebAssembly does not do me much good, as it will still run. I will leave my original comment below to remain a frame of reference for replies, but they are based on a flawed thought process of mine.

---

I understand that the page I linked to does not have a solid argument for why it should be disabled. There is a point though the author made that I do agree with, but they did not detail it well.

I could be understanding what WebAssembly has and what it could bring, but the way I have read it is that WebAssembly allows users to create desktop like apps with better performance than JS. I am fine with that.

The problem lies with in the sandboxing model. Sandboxes work great in principle, except that more toys that get added, the harder it is for the sandbox to keep all of the sand in. Just recently JavaScript had a small bit of that problem with WebUSB. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16501400 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17332340

In JavaScript at least, the browsers could change how the APIs respond to fix the issue. In the case of WebAssembly, I honestly do not know if they are able to shut down vulnerabilities as quickly. My understanding is that these binaries are similar to compiled apps that you can run directly on your desktop. Now it would seem that we would have to run virus scanners directly in our browser on every binary that wants to run.

Am I be over reacting to all of this? Probably. But I would rather be overly cautious that be caught up in a exploit on a service that is not used much. I would prefer WebAssembly is treated in the same fashion as Flash until the standard has settled and it’s security is proven.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think you're right -- positivity does create virtuous cycles.

On a related note, I suspect cities primarily relying on cost-of-living arguments to attract people may actually be subtly signalling the reverse of what ambitious people are drawn to. A city's primary signal should be the vibrancy of the place, not the low cost of living.

In my old rust belt city, many were proud of the fact that folks who left for New York City were coming back because we offered a low cost of living. But the people returning were also those who had "given up" on their ambitions... whose dreams were broken by NYC. I realize this is a bit of an unfair generalization, because it's not universally true (some ambitious chefs who returned -- and they are very good -- were those who trained in NYC but simply found NY's restaurant economics too oppressive). But supposing we were subtly attracting folks who had "given up"... in large enough numbers, they are likely to set a certain cultural tone for the city. Great cities are not built on low cost-of-living is all I'm saying.

Side: as a historical example, consider Canada vs U.S. -- Canadians are generally a more risk-averse people than Americans, and it's partly because the United Empire Loyalists were American loyalists who chose the safer route of siding with the British, whereas U.S. Americans forged their own path. The Loyalists set the tone for much of the country.

As to your second point, cities with ambition tend to be expensive because people want to live in them, often in spite of the expense. However, the reverse is not true -- just because a city is expensive doesn't mean it attracts ambition. Nantucket's pretty expensive but it's not brimming with ambition. Not sure about expensive cities correlating with class... New York is very expensive, but still manages to attract ambitious working class people who are trying to make it there.
I am working on a tax loss harvesting tracking and reminder app.

For index funds in my taxable account, it tells me when there is a loss/savings opportunity that is over whatever threshold I give it. This way I get email reminders if there is an opportunity to save a few hundred or thousand dollars every time the market dips.

This is a bit more versatile than just a reminder for certain prices because I am continually reinvesting at different cost basis.
> User can't expect that his DNS is reliable.

Yet both the user and DV certificate issuers rely on the same DNS that you consider unreliable. So you seem to dismiss DV certificates altogether but your comment seems to imply that you only want to dismiss certificates as DNS records. There's something very inconsistent about your comment.
Time for the US to move to a single VAT/GST model?
I think the wind died down temporarily just in time for the go/no go call...was on a jump where that happened and it was nowhere near a fun landing.

Thinking further on the heavy drop thing, from what I remember the crew who's vehicle it was were the ones doing most of the rigging with the riggers mostly just checking their work. Too many eyes for it to be an accident methinks.
Yes, they are often incorrect and appear to be manually entered and not updated to reflect price changes as the system does not seem to have a field for item weight.

Yes, and normalize it to price per kg. The product weight needs to be extracted from the item title or description in many possible formats (100G, 100 g, 100 grams), the price location and format however is uniform.
Coercion is irrelevant. The differentiator is valuing education and viewing it as the sole way for social mobility. Once a child internalizes this world view as fair and implacable, she will chose to do well in school, just as easily as she will breathe. The endlessly adaptable blank mind of the young Homo Sapiens will have latched on to the rules of the tribe in which they have been born, and remain set for life.
>We give them a driving test, which takes all of 40 minutes

40 minutes + 16 years to prime the neural net for

- object recognition and classification

- developing a theory of mind so that the NN can anticipate how other NNs will behave

- etc

The NN can't sit the 40 minute test unless they prove they can do successful object recognition and avoidance at low speed (while in bipedal mode). That they have the sufficient fine/gross motor skills to navigate a complex and changing 3D environment etc.

It's going to take a while before we've got digital systems that can compare.

Ex-NSA hacker says new Intel bug will need 'ton of work' to fix
As a military officer, I pray these never make it past Test and Evaluation. They took essentially one part and turned it into 1000 parts. Anyone who has seen what 20 year old Marines do with these machines, let alone what happens in war, will appreciate that this is a fantastically horrible idea in a war zone. I need high reliability, not high zoot. Let NASA have high zoot.

Browsers, except Chrome recently [1], will ask the user if they want to run Flash. I do not believe that most people even understand the risks Flash brings.

[1]: Chrome stopped asking and won’t run Flash until they click though a couple menus to enable it.

Currently living in Ann Arbor. As a software engineer it's vibrant and full of startups to join. Our javascript meetup usually has somewhere around 50-100 people every event.

Not to mention it's a small town with a lot of bigger city amenities, close proximity to Detroit, and with it being a college town the average IQ is pretty high.
It’s not particularly complicated but it’s far from optimal. If you’re not doing anything special your profits are taxed as ordinary income but you don’t get to deduct business expenses, nor do you get to count that income toward deductions like self employed healthcare or retirement account contributions.
In a bull market you are going to have great returns but it just seems lucky. It's almost better and sit and hold. I'd back test the parts where I wasn't in the market, how much % profits were missed out due to compounding, fees, not being in the market and the time spent.

Generally earnings aren't a great event to bet on as they get baked in until unless they are exceptional. It feels like picking up coins in front of a steam roller.

We enforced that by giving our devs linux workstations with no sudo rights (iso27001 requirement), but they have access to the docker daemon, and MUST install everything they need in docker images, its massively increased tools sharing between teams, and forced people to learn docker. We have some devs starting to use kubernetes locally using minikube .
Finances. Paychecks are direct deposit, monthly bills are auto-pay, and my wife and I each get an allowance deducted weekly from our shared checking account into our separate checking accounts.
We do still have a monthly non-automated task where we enter the current state of all of our accounts into a spreadsheet, and copy the totals into another spreadsheet that tracks our finances over time. It has been really helpful to help plan and see our progress.
thermomix + cook key = automated both our cooking schedule and shopping list. Easily worth the money.
Quantum Computing Becoming Real
O...k...?
It's literally DARPA's job to fund pie in the sky projects, in the hope that maybe some of them might be practical.

The internet was born of a DARPA project, Siri was made with technology spun off from another. Project MAC was filled with groundbreaking research and development of AI and operating systems. All modern operating systems can trace their lineage back to Project MAC. The origins of GPS are also from an earlier DARPA project.

Most DARPA projects will never be used in an operational environment, but the technology discovered and lessons learned inevitably find their way into other projects and technologies.
Doesn't the city fine you for not having a green lawn though? Power also seemed to be significantly more expensive at nearly 14 cents per kWh, which can get spendy with AC being nearly mandatory with how hot it gets in the summer.

Additionally, another downside I noticed when I was there was that around 2am in the summer, the streets are often flooded due to people watering their lawns. Besides the absent or poor pedestrian infrastructure, this made my after work walk quite a bit more complicated.
Some of the free market attempts in the UK ended up with Milton Keynes which is pretty much the American auto style roads come first. While others ended up with city of London which is highly walkable and dense being just over a square mile. Cost of land and transit is probably the deciding factors for the free market. Conversely regulation has given more walkable areas (mixed zones, offices, and small retail on the street with residental) so it's not just a case of the amount of regulation but what they say.

I missed that part and kept going and almost ejaculated in excitement.
I only use one SD card and one camera, so I just store the name of the last file copied (e.g. DSC02745.ARW) and the next time the card is inserted I only copy files that come after that one when sorted by name. It would be pretty easy to extend to multiple cards and/or cameras, but I've never had the need.
It would also prevent people with jailbroken devices from blocking *.nintendo.com so there's that.
I'd love to see more articles from fast.ai students covering topics other than image (multi) classification. I've been gradually going through the course, and attempting to apply what I'm learning as I go, but I rarely see good results, especially with structured data.
USD per month, and id actually say that's high. Overall the quality is much lower, although of course there are some great coders. That's mostly due to poor education institutions. The best coders are largely self taught or have been trained in house.
Power and water seem significantly more expensive than out in the PNW, which can get spendy considering the city mandates green lawns and AC is needed for most of the summer.
Paprika for iOS took me pretty far in this direction. I bought it on a recommendation from a friend so I could strip out the blog posts and index recipes, but the grocery shopping features ended up making it something I used all the time. You still share with the original URL, but I've got friends who are into cooking on it now and it's just as quick for them to save.
Same principle applies even to non-military things like home appliances, yet we always seem to end up with less reliability and more zoot.
The article is saying that it may be difficult or impossible to prove that self driving cars are actually safe. The Tesla issues and recently released sensor shortcomings are damning and really put a dent in my faith of this technology.

An example from a recent road trip I was on: I was travelling down a suburban street with cars parked on the side of the road. There was a car parked with a relatively high undercarriage, so that from a distance I could see under the car through to the other side. I saw a pair of shoes toward the front side of the car, which I (correctly) deduced were connected to a human being. In anticipation of driving past a person who might step out in front of me I slowed down and made sure to pass safely.

Tesla, on the other hand will drive at 70mph into a concrete divider if some paint on the road is smudged.

We've got a ways to go yet I think.

I have, they are awesome. I've never been to a US city though. The idea of the inner city being the poor area or bad area is bizzare and culture shock. That's usually where all the good apartments are.
Your argument doesn't fly either.

ICE is removing illegal immigrants from the US. If it was removing legal citizens or legal immigrants for some arbitrary reason then people would be much more sympathetic to your position.

In reality however, because ICE is not rounding up "immigrants" as you say in an intentional effort to obscure the truth by avoiding the necessary word "illegal", most people in the US are in support of ICE's mission.

ICE will continue to carry out that just and necessary mission with or without the assistance of some naive and privileged ideaologues that work at tech companies.

Your position on this issue is rooted firmly on the wrong side of history.
I guess I was a little unclear in what I meant. I meant that everyone (prior to the much later 2DS) had to pay for the 3D tech that most people didn't really want. I absolutely turned my 3D off about a week in and never really used it again.
