Sounds silly and inconvenient that you can't send their own info to their own email. Recommend you go back to what you did before. If you receive any GDPR letters, sort it out then.
> It's like the rest of the country doesn't really exist to certain people.

It's more that the rest of the country isn't comparable to Berlin. The cities that you listed are a great example of this.

> Austin, Dallas, Kansas City, Des Moines, Detroit, Tampa, Miami...

None of those are nice, dense urban cities in the way that Berlin is.
> To me, the Django project exudes the stubbornness of the developers who maintain it because rather than fixing these problems they've decided to write this page about how it's you, the user, who is wrong.

I sometimes feel that, similar to how perl's motto is "There's more than one way to do it", some python developers have converged on an unofficial mottot of "You're doing it wrong".

HN is not owned by a social media giant, so this grievance doesn’t appear to have much to do with the article.
Cheaper phones simply only have space for one or two 21st century apps like Uber, Lyft, or Facebook. Saying those apps are bloated is misleading they are just built for newer Android's/iPhones. And lite apps are aimed at cheaper phones.
I vastly prefer Flask's documentation (http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/). It explains everything from a perspective of what your use case would be, and they've gone above and beyond in covering use cases that might otherwise have been deemed outside their scope.

Could do with some examples of said views so we could see whether it's a false equivalence, or whether some of the "views" in fact comprise incitement to violence etc.

Note that there is no "true neutral" in this world; neutrality itself is a political position that helps certain people and hinders others.
> This sometimes results in customers being ping-ponged between seller and manufacturer a few times before the seller gives in.

Why would the seller give in, if it can always just ping the buyer back to the manufacturer one more time?
OP, is this your site? Oliver James?

Gorgeous looking site. I really appreciate the feel of the site, stands out in a non-obnoxious way and is strikingly unique.

At the end of the day, is anyone really surprised that these platforms censor/filter content in any way?

Where did the assumption of an un-biased platform come from? These companies are in the business of making money, as much as they preach about 'making a difference in the world', they will always default to whatever gains the most public favor and generates the most revenue.

I am actually surprised by the statistics, I had assumed that less people thought they were being censored. Although this presents an opposite problem, if everyone thinks they are being censored then they can claim the real truth is being 'censored'.

Biases will always exist when money is involved.

Sure you can. The money has to come from somewhere. If the government contributes less, either salaries go down or tuition goes up.
Making Nazis out to be just a more extreme form of the Republican viewpoint is hardly a good way to engage in discussion about a politically sensitive topic.
If it is an actual Facebook employee, I can definitely see why conservatives would think that. The active encouragement of civil disobedience by liberal leaders is probably more than enough confirmation to conservatives of this behavior.

Are you sure?

Exercising to the point of burning >1000 calories is not trivial. You're basically committing to run like 8 miles just for that amount. Then you'll still be hungry with the additional food.

Your BMR is far more important to weight loss than what most people can do with exercise.

I agree that full-stack doesn't include ops and furthermore, it only refers to web developers.

I usually use the phrases Programmer / Operator and Computing Engineer to encompass the whole shebang.
A lot of things in America are really cheap, but there are a few areas where we are denied cost effective options. I like colleges as an example because you don't need any domain specific knowledge to see the excess.

I went to a cheap state school. The buildings were made of red brick, the paths were paved with brick and replaced every 3 years, and the gardens were meticulously maintained...the place was meant to look like a palace, and this was one of the most cost effective options I could find. If I don't strike it rich, I'll probably never live or work in a place as fancy as where I went to school.

Of course there are ugly colleges too, but the point is that the price of tuition includes a lot that has nothing to do with education, and a lot of this is stuff people wouldn't pay for if given the choice.

Does it make sense to pay for an upper middle class lifestyle when you're a broke 19 year old? Don't worry, the government will give you a loan...
The cited example in the linked article is the same side - it's a screenshot of the Republican National Convention hashtag.

I suspect it was approved because #RNCinCLE isn't an attack/allegation on someone else. I also believe it was a Twitter-initiated hashtag, not one bought by the RNC.

I similarly suspect the Hillary Campaign would've seen an application to add an emoji to #DumpTrump rejected. Hell, Pepsi probably can't sponsor a #CokeSucks one.

Earlier this year, I returned my brand new MacBook Pro and asked for my old 2016 MacBook Pro back. I'm a touch typist and I just don't get enough feedback from the new keyboard to be sure I pressed a key. It actually slowed down my typing. And the lack of and ESC and function keys means that I just can't develop on it anymore. I'm still happily using my 2.5 year-old MacBook Pro.
Exactly what I was thinking.

Another thing: The illustrations are nice to look at, but why not show your readers what the code is actually going look like? Use editable embeds or something like that. Let them play around. That's why Codecademy has a well-balanced learning curve for absolute beginners.
I am actually surprised by what appears to be HN's explicit censorship of this topic.

Just two days ago this NYT editorial [1] was on the front page of HN with 20+ upvotes IIRC, and before there were more than 1 or 2 comments the post was deleted and unviewable. (And didn't show up as flagged either -- just totally deleted.)

I'm not sure how many people on HN are aware of what appears to be admin censorship of this topic. And it's not like it's some incendiary blog post -- it's an Op-Ed from the nation's traditional "newspaper of record", part of the national conversation, and relevant to our industry.

Actually, no, I wasn't asking for evidence that this was not the case. I was asking for why we should treat djrogers' personal experience as evidence for why it isn't 'very typical'. Does his personal experience even match the criteria smrtinsert implied? And even if it does, why should we consider it, giving how few data points it is, of such poor sampling quality (given a single subject).

I was asserting nothing about how typical seizure is or isn't, just how poor djrogers' supplied anecdotal data was.

I love how he characterizes what developers do as "just writing code" -- the whole article is basically a whinge: don't make me do ops, don't make me write tests, don't make me think about the problem, don't make me re-use existing solutions, don't make me pick the right tool for the job, don't make me use sustainable processes -- I just wanna "write code". Code is basically the poop that results after you digest the problem. The best code is as little code as possible, but this guy just wants to make code poop for a living. Sorry guy. Time to grow up.

This is interesting because Amazon isn't exactly known for supply chain integrity. Who here hasn't received fakes from Amazon? If you rely on a specific medication for your health, is Amazon a brand you trust to deliver it? How long until they start commingling pills and shipping random counterfeit/fake product to users?

Hope it never happens but if they do with pharmaceuticals what they did with everything else they sell, it's only a matter of time before users are physically harmed.

Let's be optimistic though, I hope this helps them finally get their shit together and control the rampant counterfeiting going on right under their nose.
Only if you need to implement simple CRUD API. But if you need filtering/ordering/authorization/complex serialization/unconvential request parsing -- you would need to implement a lot of stuff or install a lot of packages and find a way to make them work together. DRF makes all this things for you.
The way they're going they're going to announce Amazon Government soon, and solve that problem. Talk about cloud feudalism turning into real feudalism.

The linked article says exactly the opposite:

> However, both DNC and RNC conventions had custom emojis this cycle and they did not use disclaimers.

> But, the only other campaign large enough to have this type of deal would have been the Clinton campaign and my contacts inside TW informed me that they did not have one in place. So basically, “cancelling for all political campaigns” really meant cancelling ONLY for Donald J. Trump’s campaign.

The DNC and RNC both got custom mascot emojis for their hashtags, and the Trump campaign did not get a #CrookedHillary emoji, nor did the Clinton campaign get (or ask for) a similar anti-Trump emoji. So the other side was quite clearly not allowed to do the exact same, nor did they even ask to do the exact same.
I believe it would abligate the developer to release the server side code that uses the library.

Keeping your tools clean is good hygiene. Additionally, whenever I start working at a new place I always clean the keyboard. It's amazing how disgusting they can get. For old keyboards, if you pop off the keys, you'll find they're typically full of hair, food, and other random debris. People usually think I'm a weirdo when they see me doing it, but my boss at my previous project saw how gross my keyboard was when the keys were off, and went out and got me a new keyboard (in this case it was a desktop keyboard instead of a laptop).
Pagination Is Dead
That's about what I would expect. It's about the same as discussing the less fortunate side of vaccines, which I would hope is buried as quickly as possible for obvious reasons.
I don't think the graph regarding extreme poverty accounts for inflation. I don't know what an international dollar is, assuming its close, but 1.90 USD in 1850 is equivalent to about $55 today (according to Google), or 20,000 USD per year. That's not extreme poverty, I've lived on less than that.
what does the constitution say about women's access to reproductive healthcare
Everyone at one point has made a comment that has been downvoted or moderated out of existence. The rejection sticks in your mind. Effectively, that is censorship.
Most Americans would be right.

There is great confusion on the scope and purpose of the First Amendment in play here.

Secondly, media is drilling down on two toxic ideas:

always two sides to every story

, and

objectivity, claim of no bias.

These things combine to present ordinary Americans with the expectation of objective media and free speech everywhere.

A side effect is a surrender of critical thought in return for unwarranted trust.

The remedy should be to evaluate all of this with a critical eye and help people understand there is always bias, and how they can and shoild be using diverse sources to stay informed.

You don’t just consider it an API, it is an API. No matter how you are using AWS - via the console, cloud formation templates, the cli, the various SDKs, etc. It all boils down to an API call.

I don’t want to have to be the only one, but I like having both the knowledge and the access not to have to wait on someone else. I gave up a job as an architect with so much red tape I couldn’t get anything done at a large company to be a senior developer at a small company where from day one I was given admin access to AWS (yes I have the skill set and the certifications for what they are worth).

I'm a big fan of the Google App Engine standard runtime. It's not too cheap if you have lots of traffic, but a lot can be squeezed out of the free tier, and it's very opinionated, but, for proof of concept, it's great.

My wife's company website ran on it for years.
No one said I had no evidence (the original statement for this subthread wasn't mine), and my retort wasn't "prove it isn't", but "your supplied anecdotal data is not actually helpful".

I totally agree the original post to this subthread supplied no data. That's obvious. But to counter it with badly qualified anecdotal evidence does nothing to actually counter it.
Simply depends on pagination depth.

Unfortunately there aren't any solutions that generalize as well as LIMIT + OFFSET which is why we use it. In fact, other solutions usually take quit a bit of custom tailoring if you want Prev/Next and deep page jumping.
Former Equifax employee charged with insider trading over 2017 data breach
Lol. I think that has a little more to do with the topic riling up the angsty trolls who tend to turn otherwise normal conversations into internet dumpster-fires. Not to mention it's easier to blame some boogyman for ideas that challenge your own, rather than taking accountability for an unrealistic or dissonant worldview.

I don't know what you mean by "relying on automation" or "throwing off the other 12".

Deployment is mostly-automated - put a note in our chat channel topic that you're deploying (or queue if someone else is already deploying), push a button to do a release and deploy as staging (and a small smoke test), do any manual testing (or investigation of logs etc. if something goes wrong), push another button to flip that deploy to be prod.

Any of the 12 devs can do this (and does, we each deploy our own features/stories), any of the 12 devs can make changes to the deployment scripting just like with any other code area (some will be more or less familiar with them, but that's true of any area of the codebase). Nothing unique about it, quite the opposite.
I don't understand how verizon can supercookie an unlocked generic device that only has a verizon SIM in it.

This is a real problem, in my book. DBAs also have very specialized knowledge, and tend to be expensive, but they're at their most productive when they're doing schema cleanup and index optimization work that can probably only keep a good person busy for a person-month or two per year, tops. And they're also at their most productive when they are preventing problems rather than trying to clean up stains that have already been set by a mess of runtime dependencies.

And all the rest of the time, you've got a very smart person whose job is basically just to make sure the backups are running smoothly.

I'm not sure what the solution there is. Only the largest enterprises can really keep a good DBA busy with work that isn't just skull-splittingly boring. Maybe merge the DBA role with BI or data engineering?
> If it is an actual Facebook employee, I can definitely see why conservatives would think that.

It's more complicated than that, though. It takes more than just a report to get someone's content deleted.

Take a look at the examples from their moderator training:

https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-hate-speech-cens...

See, for example, the slide about "female drivers", "black children", and "white men" - Facebook's policies (via some pretty odd logic, IMO) protect posts about "white men", but not "black children". A liberal bastion, they're not.

> One document trains content reviewers on how to apply the company’s global hate speech algorithm. The slide identifies three groups: female drivers, black children and white men. It asks: Which group is protected from hate speech? The correct answer: white men.

> The reason is that Facebook deletes curses, slurs, calls for violence and several other types of attacks only when they are directed at “protected categories”—based on race, sex, gender identity, religious affiliation, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation and serious disability/disease. It gives users broader latitude when they write about “subsets” of protected categories. White men are considered a group because both traits are protected, while female drivers and black children, like radicalized Muslims, are subsets, because one of their characteristics is not protected. (The exact rules are in the slide show below.)
That's fitting for a woodworker to come in a forum called "hacker news". After all, they are the original hackers.
David Mitchell, a British comedian, has a great comment on this. Given that all smartphone users are not dead, it just goes to show how meaningless studies like that are.

What I wonder about is, if you're not getting sick from it (and the keyboard is working), then what is the goal of getting a new keyboard due to what's under the keys of the previous one? Just the unpleasantness of knowing what's there?
So the ORM taking many seconds for query overhead isn't a problem? This makes the web page served by this api many seconds slower. A second of slowness increases bounce rate by quite a bit and by two to three seconds, most visitors abandon the website.

I am Brazillian

Still, sadly that stuff also applies here...

Me and my friends around my age, that were born in solid middle-class families (of the sort that could own only one car, a cheap house or apartment and so on), were taught that the path of life was: go to college, get a job or public sector job (here in Brazil those are popular), marry, have a boring life.

Instead we went to college paid with crazy loans, found no jobs, jumped around from gig to gig trying to repay the loans, people don't want seriosu relationships, only flings, and now I am 30, living back in my parents house, still with no job.

A 30 year old college friend of mine that is excellent designer and know some coding, is living on his parents home with his kid (no wife), to pay the kid bills he found a illegal-ish gig as construction worker, and after he lost that job, he can't find a new one.

My grandparents used to tell me what was their "poor life", where they had to walk to school, work their asses off early, date in front of dad of the bride, eat eggs because other food was expensive...

Now we have a "rich" life, with cars (that belong to parents, I never could afford my own, neither my friends), computer, internet... but can't afford our own house, we can't "work our ass off" because there is no work, eating enough protein in some months have been hard, as food prices inflated way beyond the wage growth and what is affordable now is basically cereals and starchy foods (like potatoes), and your food choice become: eat enough nutrients and baloon in size wildly as all food availble has too much calories comapred to other nutrients, or control your calories, have nutrient deficit...

To me is no surprise people live in slums or invaded areas, one time I rented a apartment with cracked walls, non-working fire alarm, elevator that often had issues (like operating with doors open and stopping 20 centimeters off-level), no garage, and the rent was 4 times the mininum wage, I could only afford living there when my income due to some coding contracts landed me in the top 3% highest earners of the country... made me wonder, where everyone else was living. (or one time I shared a normal 3 bedroom house, with literally 35 persons, most of them already had bachelor degrees, several in STEM, and were there to train in a nearby police academy, hoping such dangerous work was better than having no work at all in their own field)
