The issue is that there are successful people who can all those at the same time. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of study and varied experience. A newcomer can become passable Java developer within realistic timescales, but will require years of experience to be able to contribute at an organization that expects him to perform all those roles.

I have 20 years of experience in IT, 7 as admin (ops), 13 in development. I still spend over half my time on purposeful learning and sometimes find mysef out of depth, catching breath. I don't envy noobs who will have little chance catching up.

Most of the time I hear devops it in reality is a person doing hopefully good job in one area and passable in another and relying heavily on others for everything else.
Interestingly, that situation resembles the one of the bigger German speaking population.

The people are speaking their own dialects which differ that much that you can easily locate from which part of the country the speaker is from.

The native German Swiss only speak their Swiss German dialects among each other, with no single one dominating. In writing OTOH, standard German is used, although of course the usage of standard German has a much longer history than in the case of Romansh.

I get a prescription for a 3 month supply of Vyvanse (amphetamine), 90 pills.

The real pain is in the pharmacies who love to power trip. The CVS near me got a new pharmacist who decided she didn't want to fill my prescription because I wanted to pay in cash (no insurance at the time). Didn't even offer to call up my doctor's office to confirm. Just a hard no and goodbye. Made me feel awful, like I was trying to cheat the system or something by paying the ridiculous retail price of $850 for a drug that cost me $20 when I had insurance.

Had to go across the road to Walgreens who never let me down.

What a hilariously stupid system we have making everyone feel like a criminal. I get anxiety all day when it's time to refill. A drug I've been taking for 10 years.
No. The entirety of intellectual property is a pure construct of human convention. At one end of legitimacy is the right of proper attribution, and at the other end is the right to be a patent troll. The US does not do a great job in setting the balance points.

Copyrights should not apply to any functional work. Trademarks should not be used to stifle discussion, review and criticism. Patents should require expert testimony on originality and also a working example.

The problem is the rich using their wealth for more wealth accumulation, e.g. through rent seeking. Even if progressive taxing doesn't get you much money directly, indirectly it will improve wealth through a better wealth distribution.

In other words, it is no problem that the rich have more money; the problem is them using that money against the rest of us. If you don't see how, try entering a game of Monopoly a few rounds after it has started.

I'm not sure what your point is, but you may have missed mine. My point is that SQL has had a lot of things bolted onto its relational algebra roots. XML and JSON were two examples, but stored procedures, triggers, window functions, are others and the list is quite long (and growing!). The problem isn't so much that SQL can do a lot, but that there's no wholistic theory belying it all; it's all just bolted on. And you can't just stick to the relational algebra subset of SQL because that won't get you very far; the features that were bolted on solve real problems, but ideally we'll find a more powerful theory than relational algebra that will do a better job at wholistically solving the set of problems we're trying to make SQL solve.
When reading a lot of those articles and papers you learn how to skim faster and more precise. For example the authors message is often found in the end. You learn when passages of text start where a lot of fancy words are used to tell a story and vivid images, these can be skipped through faster when looking for concepts and ideas. But can be important to put together the collected pieces (concepts,ideas) and give it a context.

I sometimes think a kind of text structure "syntax highlighter" would be interesting to learn to spot the structure.

The comments on-page and on hackernews are also part of the article for me and often the most interesting things can be found there.

When you learn something new your brain tries to connect it to your world view/model, like a puzzle piece. Over time you put more and more pieces you have more and more docking points and so it gets easier with time to take in something new. Because you can easier relate it something you already know.

But so does increase the things you could learn, yet you only have limited time. Yea that is kinda annoying, I also wish I would have the time to learn and master it all. But there is only so much time and an infinite sea of things to explore..

But hey, it is fun while it lasts so why worry? Just continue with the quest for knowledge and understanding and have fun while doing it!

Choosing Your Deep Learning Infrastructure: The Cloud vs. On-Prem Debate
> I agree. You can use the same algorithm for computing both.

Although it's in some sense the same algorithm, the Roman-numeral version requires far more memorisation. For example, once I know that 2 ⨉ 3 = 6, I know without further memorisation (or, rather, with only a meta-memorisation that generalises readily to other contexts) that 20 ⨉ 30 = 600; but, even once I know that II ⨉ III = VI, I have to memorise separately that XX ⨉ XXX = DC.

I'm not sure why intent matters. The point is I can't turn it off and see all the information if I wanted to. My access to information is being artificially restricted.

> 2) If so, do you wish to impose this expectation on everyone else?

This is completely unnecessary. Just need an option in preferences: Use algorithmic feed [Yes] [No].

Edit: Like privacy, this is another case where the ad-driven business model is in conflict with the best interests of the user. Ad-supported algorithmic feeds optimize not for truth, educational value, or even user happiness, but for engagement. This often means eliciting a strong emotional reaction - positive or negative. In effect algorithmic feeds create the informational equivalent of how grocery stores put high-margin junk and processed foods in the high traffic areas. They want you to buy this stuff - your health be damned.
The content is important though because it's precisely why they weren't allowed the hashtag.

They were allowed other hashtags that didn't have the same negative "attack ad" approach so it doesn't look like politically motivated bias so much as them just not wanting to promote negative attack ads on their platform.

You can call it censorship. That's fair. But it's unfair to call it bias or politically motivated censorship.

I was once standing in the tower on top of Castle Montebello in Bellinzona, looking out at Castlegrande. There was a group of schoolchildren up there with me.

The integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain is controlled by a specific federal law, Title II of the Drug Quality and Security Act of 2013, also known as the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.

You can always invent things first and name them later. Language is not a limiting factor to imagination.

Linguistic determinism is something more among the lines of Newspeak from 1984 or Apple's Emoji Gun Control: By making it harder to talk about something, you make it harder to think about it, and harder to put into action. Thus, you can force language into a certain direction and culture will follow.
>At anytime "Real Good Fakes" can ask for his stuff back and that has to be "Real Good Fakes" stuff

no, they can't, and it doesn't have to be. that's how the FBA program works - when you send your stuff to amazon, they store it in their warehouse on the understanding that it's identical to any other example of the product it is listed as. You can't then turn around and say "i want all the ones i shipped you back", because you've told amazon that the products are interchangeable.
Nobody said anything about ignoring housing costs, that would be silly. What you are really comparing is "equity from long term investment - cost of rental" vs "equity in house - operating costs - cost of financing". Clearly if for functionally equivalent housing (for you) you can rent for enough lower than you would pay to maintain and pay for a house, and the investment returns are high enough, rental wins. The break even point is different in different locations and housing brackets, but it's always there. And often it's impossible to compare directly as your access to rental and purchased housing may look quite different in a given area.

So yes, lots of people have run the numbers. When they do it properly, they always come up with "it depends". The US is unusual in tax benefit for mortgage payments, which often bends things in that direction, but there are still definitely situations where renting can win.

It's also rather careless to assume homogeneity of an populations needs like "over 45", everyone is different. Someone with 3 teenage kids will have different parameters than a single person post-divorce, etc.

What you are correct about is that housing has worked as a retirement strategy for people who haven't planned - but that doesn't mean it's the best strategy.

A large part of the problem is the psychology of being middle class. No one wants to be poor, or to think that they are poor, they affiliate themselves with the middle class. The social definition of what is middle class has been broadened to include people who would otherwise fit in the poor definition. Thinking themselves to be middle class, they try to act it and over spend and never save. A more stringent definition used to be something along the line of being a professional that would allow you to be able to afford to retire early and have the funds to get into politics or some other service. Poor people will continue to be bled dry, while the middle class shrinks and everyone refuses to accept they are technically poor and they need to act with purpose to improve their situations.
>>I was also told that doing it the real way using Tensorflow would be the way to go and I agree with that sentiment if my problem was Google scale which it wasn't. In fact I would argue that most workloads around the world are not Google scale and neither are most Google workloads.

You can convert the Keras model to TF pretty easily if you need to, as long as you use the TF backend. I did this, and converted the string preprocessing in TF so the model could be used in TF serving taking only the string as input.

I wish I had taken a picture. I don't remember exactly but it was something along the lines of:

"We are unable to process your request due to a problem with your cookie, please click below to delete the cookie"

And then there was just a normal button input.

Their logic around having the user click the button instead of just automatically deleting the cookie and moving on (Something that still shouldn't be necessary if you are using cookies correctly) is that they thought users would be upset at IBM automatically deleting their 'data' without asking. That data just being a bunch of unreadable values for IBMs services.

The issue is on the ability to provide code compatible with MySQL and Postgresql. Without ORM you have to duplicate your queries.

So looking at a framework with ORM we are doing a benchmark of Elixir/Phoenix/Ecto. This solution could simplify our architecture a lot: websocket with room shared between server etc.

Bad point is the lack of documentation on Phoenix 1.4

We'll see. I was sceptical at first, but I think as the market cap has grown, it's starting to make a lot more sense.

The main question is: are people ready for a digital store of wealth? If yes, it'll likely be Bitcoin. If not, it'll falter. I don't know the correct answer.
Keep trying, then.

I found myself in that space for a while, but everything kind of made sense when the "Erlang is the most object-oriented language in the market" meme clicked into place: a (micro-)service, an Erlang-style actor and an object are almost the exact same unit of abstraction, applied in different ways. The model is always the same: you communicate by message passing — and, for the most part, you want your objects to be given orders rather than be asked questions.

When I went back to Java, it became evident how damaging the "everything is an object" mentality of Java really is — it really pushes people towards a whole bunch of anti-patterns. One obvious example is that structs are not objects, and you shouldn't try to make them be. Getters/setters are a clear sign that your entity is a struct rather than an object — if you're at that stage, stop trying to apply OOP principles around its design. Another recurring problem is abusing inheritance, and underusing interfaces. I've written maybe 2-3 abstract classes over the last few years, and, when I code review a PR with any abstract classes (or inheritance of any sort) in it, I can almost always get the original author to factor it away while agreeing that it was a problem in the design.

I suggest giving Kotlin a try. Data classes are as close to structs as you'll ever get in the JVM (until Valhalla ships), delegation is crazy easy to achieve, inheritance is heavily discouraged (by having everything be final by default), bare functions and extension functions help keep interfaces clean, and the lambda situation is much better than Java's (receiver lambdas are the language's killer feature, IMO).

> such that that claim is even coherent, much less accurate

I don't know where you're getting this idea. There are coherent and accurate ways to measure how liberalized an economy is.

> standard of living measurements tend to be optimized for particular economic structures

They are optimized for measuring human welfare, through measures like access to and quality of food, healthcare, education, life expectancy, incidence of disease, cost of goods and services, infrastructure, etc. That they empirically end up favoring economic liberalism speaks to the effectiveness of the latter.

> not comparable across significantly different economic systems without problems

How so? If the very same country historically fares better under periods of economic liberalism, and worse under periods of economic authoritarianism, how is that not a valid data point for the effectiveness of economic liberalism versus authoritarianism?

There's nothing irrational per se in taking "copious amounts of psychedelics".

It's no more rational that not taking them.

Reason (ratio) itself, has no inherent values (as in "sober is better") -- it's all about deductive chains and what works.

Denying that HIV causes AIDS can also be perfectly rational as long as he justifies it with certain arguments that are not crazy themselves.

Merely straying off the established scientific view is not irrational -- else all kind of now established scientists should also be labelled as irrational, for that's what they did when they proposed and insisted on their theories before they ever got accepted (and some took decades or more to be accepted).

In which case tons of now established theories would never have come to pass.
