This is a necessity in small organisations and a problem in large ones. A problem because they have to have all the keys, like a janitor; and they tend to end up being treated as either janitors or dictators by the rest of the company. Also tends to have a high "bus factor".

(I semi-jokingly have "Full Stack From the Transistors Upwards" written on my CV, because I have at one time or another in the course of employment done everything from chip design to web design; that doesn't mean I'd be happy to do all of them at once.)
What was the original?

My memory of the time was seeing a bunch of cool Microsoft Surface demos, thinking "someone is gonna make a killing putting this on a phone", and the iPhone coming out a few months later. I'll go so far as to say that I think it was the first touch screen phone that was actually manufactured and sold.

But I'll be very curious to be proven wrong!
Because if doing it right were easy, everyone would already be doing it and it wouldn't be a named process or methodology.
Have you seen GCP's docs? They're far worse than AWS'.
I didn't find this a convincing read. There may be good research about quiet eye, I don't know personally, but how is it a revelation to say athletes and experts focus very intently on one spot with their vision? This seems to border on truism to me, why would a professional athlete need to look all around to judge different parameters? Someone like Serena Williams has served the ball millions of times, is she truly going to gain more information by looking all around? Whereas, for a novice, it would be useful to look at the service box, then back at the ball, then at your feet to ensure your stance is good, then to your grip. So, is this expert effect simply a product of muscle memory and intense focus?

Yep. I disagree with the premise that DevOps is only a result of "the multiple technical roles that engineers at start-ups were forced to play due to lack of resources" and is therefore unnecessary, even harmful in larger organisations.

So in larger organizations, people can and should specialise more, and not everyone should be "jack of all trades".

But there is an important lesson in DevOps: owning your software from creation through testing, deployment and observing how it runs in production cases, and being partly responsible for handling Operational issues in it has great benefit. It closes a feedback loop that will greatly benefit your software. It doesn't matter if your organisation is large, that learning from the truth of production is still available to you.

Even better... use Keras' MxNet backend. Training is ~30% faster, you get multi-GPU for free, and you can perform inference in MxNet easily.

Not to mention you can more easily use channels-first data, quantize to FP16/INT8 more easily, and export to ONNX for use w/ Tensor-RT and/or Intel Nervana.
That sounds like basic common sense. I'll also add don't use cleaning fluids on your monitor / screen. Microfiber and a light mist of water on the rag is more than sufficient.
Having worked many years both with ORMs and with "old-school" devs slinging raw SQL strings and everything in between, I've come to the conclusion that "ORMs don't kill [performance], people do". :)

Flask-Restful seems pretty well maintained and it's very easy to use. If you use marshmallow it's very easy to get request validation with meaningful errors. There is also a package called apispec that can make a Swagger specification from your flask paths and marshmallow models. I like Django but unless I'm using it already I've not seen a reason to use it instead of these simpler libraries for APIs.
To put it another way: suppose I ask someone "why did you forget my birthday but not his?" It's not that I want them to forget his, too (though that is one literal interpretation). It's to suggest that the answer isn't merely "I forget birthdays in general."
I mean, my views get censored here on HN all the time...
As a DevOps contractor/consultant (depending on the gig), I don't agree with that. Maybe it's just the way I approach my business, but I am also the guy you want designing and building large scale applications. Well, maybe not you, but a decent chunk of my clients do. ;) One startup-unicorn client hired me to advise on DevOps practices and implement the baseline stuff for a new project and I ended up the de facto team lead, banging out JavaScript alongside Chef, just because...it's all the same. Sometimes I write code to spit out web pages, sometimes I write code to spit out EC2 instances or Azure instances. That's what a "devops engineer" is, to me.

As far as the move for the word "sysadmin"--no joke, I blame it on Windows and small- to medium-scale businesses. When for a long time the conception of a "system administrator" is "mouse-driven process-follower", a competent software developer who happens to develop systems that throw EC2 instances around just isn't going to want to be associated with that title.
On reconsideration you definitely have a point here.

I still believe there will be a lot of hurt for a lot of people. As I saud I may be wrong and virtually slap myself for not having jumped into the fray, when it was "only" 6000$.

> And a battery glued to the keyboard.

Indeed. I needed to replace the battery on a 2014 rMBP and I was quoted $350 because that meant replacing the whole top panel: battery, keyboard, and trackpad.
How so? I just had to setup security groups and subnets to make an implementation I was starting work. Why would I want to wait on the “infrastructure guys” to do it when I could set it up myself in the dev environment test it, create a cloud formation template and if I needed to, run it through the other environments.
One of the things that makes me sad is there is no project even remotely close comparable to Django for say Golang or Scala.

I love the fact that you get an admin interface out of the box. And tons of documentation. The views/template stuff is a bit dated since everyone started moving to frontend/backend services and SPAs but we still have DRF which is incredible in the amount you get for "free".

I've had the "pleasure" of working with other large projects built on flask and ever time it gets to a certain size I wonder why we didn't just use Django. There is stuff you don't realize you need until some enterprise customer requires it for your product to even be considered. Auditing, session retries/timeouts, etc. With flask you can just add another library but it isn't as connected as Django is. And that matters a lot when you get bigger because it affects discussions about what the right way to do things is. You generally have discussions about what is the right Django way vs what is the right way in general.
Do you have a citation for this? Because it surprises me. Most smartphones are hard, dry surfaces, which inhibits bacteria growth.
> I think this is true of django in general

Probably goes for all opinionated frameworks. That's part of the tradeoff you make when choosing one.
Alas, it appears you're right. I thought it worked plugged in too, that's a bit silly on their part. I can't imagine it would take a whole lot of effort for them to add the functionality.
Learned that.

But it doesn't compose with shift for selection.

I also learned and still use the official workaround for that which is pretty nice often: shift + arrow up/down while on start/end of a line
Yeah, the reason I suspect it tends to thwart programmers (if I recall correctly) is that there's a solution that looks a lot like binary search that _almost_ works, but the actual solution looks very different from it at every step. So the programmer will start with the one that looks like binary search, realize that it provides almost enough information, and try to squeeze a little more out of it by modifying it in little ways, when they sort of need to go back to the drawing board instead.
The interesting aspect is that conservatives think that it is very likely that social media sites censor their views at a rate double that of liberals. Even if the social media companies were strictly neutral in the matter, it's pretty common for conservatives to encounter left-wing hostility and censorship from other users of social media sites.
> Earlier in meetings we can go about silently browsing or replying to emails.

The complaint was not about taking notes, it was about being unable to ignore the speaker and reply to emails during a meeting.
Will explore them. Thank you for the suggestions. I was heavily into Futurism and Dadaism during one of those phases back in college and devoured the works of Tzara, Schwitters, Russolo, Ball, Duchamp, Ernst etc. Those manifestoes still give me goosebumps. Fascinating times they were.
There is nothing wrong with not entering the housing market so long as you have an alternative savings plan. Depending on lots of factors, of course, but you may end up much better off in the long run by renting + saving.

In the US particularly there are a number of incentives that help tilt this toward home equity, but it's not a given - it does work as a reasonable forced saving plan for people who are not thinking long term.

Language loss and change is a natural process that’s gone on forever. It’s only because we now have the means to be aware of as well as means to salvage that we even care.

What is now China with a few local variants was once covered in numerous dialects like India today, though not as numerous. However, one unifying language has led to a less fractured nation compared to say India or even Europe.
And if you don't live somewhere like that, you significantly limit your kids' opportunities to be high earners, and all the other valuable things that come with an in demand career.

Exploring other peoples Dotfiles
I appreciate the article's message of simplicity. But still its recommendations go beyond what I find necessary. I just use a microfiber cloth with or without a tiny amount of water and my laptop (an original Surface Book) cleans up just fine. I suppose more would be necessary if I were to spill stuff on the laptop, but so far I've avoided that mishap.
I wrote a thing that can hopefully give people some idea of how to set up their dotfiles for the first time and learn some configuration as code tips
Is a kid who studies and gets all A's in class privileged with getting the reward for all A's? Generally the idea of privilege is dealing with something you didn't work for. Having your parents pay for college? Privilege. Earning a scholarship anyone can earn? Not privilege.

The issue is with privilege that impacts what you can earn, but compared to someone born with a mental disability due to lack of nutrition while developing (or maternal drug abuse in pregnancy, etc.), everyone born healthy is privileged by a great deal.
When I lay out a new application I'm totally thinking about stuff like network topology because that's part of my security posture with regards to my software, and security is part of application design.

Regarding salaries...

I work in tech. I make less than I would in the US (though with a new job that's fully remote, the delta isn't as big as it might be).

My wife, however, makes a good deal more than she would in the US. She doesn't work in tech.

Also, she gets a full month off a year. 6 months' paid maternity even if the job itself is crummy. Paid public holidays (or double-pay if she has to work).

On top of all that, we don't have to drop thousands of dollars a year on car ownership.

It's worked out pretty well.
It's generally believed that they diluted their brand by overexpansion into outlet channels. From 2012-2015 their stock got cut by more than half ($80 down to $30) while the broader market was up ~25%.

I would summarize what happened as they stopped being "cool". The (subjectively) not so attractive Coach bags covered with "C" branding were multiple hundreds of dollars and a luxury good. When everyone was wearing one and you could pick up a cheap last season one at the outlet mall, the cachet was gone.

The value of the brand is when you can charge more for something of identical quality, or that people ask for your product by name. Apple's brand is (should be?) golden to them and they should treasure it. It's not based on cosmetics but quality, too.

tl;dr - Coach is still around and recovering and making billions of dollars.
Depends on the application. In e-commerce and I believe many other industries as well will depend on fast responses for conversions. For example, a page that loads ~2 seconds will start to lose bounce rates/ conversions.

Of course full page cache is the first stopgap for this problem but you'll always have dynamic content.

There's definitely going to be cultural differences since Grand Rapids is in west Michigan and not eastern Germany. The food's decent, and there are a few art festivals, museums, venues and arenas. Lansing is an hour away which has more of the same. Holland is a little closer and on Lake Michigan. Chicago is only a couple hours away if you're yearning for the big city. I can't speak much about the night life but last I knew we had multiple bars and clubs if that's your thing. The only public transportation is the Rapid (bus system).
I was at a conference a few weeks ago and one speaker put up a slide that went something like:

“Software engineers solve problems. Sometimes they solve problems with code.”

Which is how I’ve always viewed my role, but it has definitely become clearer over my 20 years in the business of software that there are a ton of people who just want to sit in a corner and write beautiful elegant code with no particular purpose. Great for personal projects. Troublesome when you are building a team to solve business goals.

I can do all of those roles at a decent level of proficiency and I’m paid accordingly. But, as the article mentioned, why would they want to spend the money on my salary when they could hire someone a lot cheaper? I like having the choice of being able to do it myself so my development is not being blocked by someone else but not having to do s lot of the mundane work.
When you look at training and coaching as being instead of correcting or perfecting skills and their signifiers, but as "how you learn to learn," in that domain, a quiet eye is not an objective, but rather an effect of building skills on top of a set of underlying attitudes.

Goodhart's Law has been quoted a lot here recently, (re: measure becoming target and ceasing to be good measure), but it applies here.

The more useful question is, "of what is a quiet eye the effect?"

At an elite competition level, the physical differences (and scores) between athletes are so minor that success is more an effect of psychological habits than the relative difference in diet and training regimens.

Watching very top athletes, they are usually calm and deliberate, which is the effect of being in a zone where they are not intellectualizing or reacting to events, but are instead, in a state I call accept-respond. There is a huge aspect of ego suppression they can cultivate, where the y aren't distracted by hypotheticals, counterfactuals, and in particular, expectations and anticipations for how the immediate situation plays out, which delays their ability to shorten their accept-respond loop.

The very existence of an "if this then that," thought in their mind is performance inhibiting, because even that "if," statement needs to be negated before they can respond. Bringing conditionals to the game only works when the game plays out according to that conditional at the right time. At a learning level, you can learn those conditionals as tactics, but you need to practice them to where there is no conscious selection and evaluation of them when you are performing.

IMHO, a quiet eye is the effect of how you related to your trainer/coach/parent/teacher, and it's not incumbent on the student or athlete to develop it, it is the sign of a good teacher.
I realize that with Coinbase's rumored financial success, this might be a sound investment... but I really do hope that their intention is not to use the Facebook platform to push crypto. Hawking their user's data is taking it far enough.

(Just to be clear, this isn't specifically about or against crypto, this is about them promoting any asset to unqualified investors.)
A bit of both-sides-ism here. The poll shows that Republicans almost universally believe that these companies censor their viewpoint, despite the fact that these companies have bent over backwards to accommodate those views and to give them platforms. Meanwhile only a small fraction of Democrats believe this is very likely, and they aren’t strongly sure about which side is benefiting from the supposed bias.
Any grease on your skin will find its way onto the phone, it's probably not as dry as you would think.
Not having a job isn't the only way to move down a tier. I think what a lot of cohorts are feeling (the economy is broken) comes down to (1) middle class upbringing (2) did the things middle class kids are supposed to do, like college, "professional white collar job" (3) results are worse than expected.

People's expectations can be set all sorts of ways, but the most obvious is comparatively to the group they believe they are or shoybe part of. Ie, parents, friends...

This is all at the personal level. There are also macro trends and dynamics in the economy overall. Haven't read George, but Picketty (recent Nobel laureate) has a very good theory for this. I don't know how George uses "rentier" but "returns to capital" probably encompasses.
My take is incentives. "No one gets fired for choosing IBM".

It's so nice to see a headline that doesn't use shitty passive voice for a flagrant fuckup:

> Earlier this month, security researcher Vinny Troia discovered that Exactis, a data broker based in Palm Coast, Florida, had exposed a database that contained close to 340 million individual records on a publicly accessible server.
> Universally common language promotes communication, cultural exchange, understanding and general world peace.

I'm sure common language helped Russia and Ukraine when they went into war.

What you're looking for is single worldwide culture. But I doubt that could happen. E.g. colonies in "New World" soon departed from their parent cultures. Even if someone would establish a single culture, it's set to collapse and split into a myriad of smaller ones.

There're a lot of things that define culture. Looking at US coasts-vs-flyover divider, language is not what keeps people together. Even if they shared a somewhat similar culture, different environments make people go in different ways.

> I really disagree with this idea that the death of a language somehow means we are cut off from the culture that used the language.

Culture is much more than just translating words. Different people care more about different things. That PoV is lost when nobody speaks the language natively. Well, it may exist in a book in a library. But there's no way to experience the culture anymore. So yes, it's dead, but not lost.

Agreed. Pushing a wet cloth against your keys is basically wringing it out right over the board.
I don't consider Minneapolis much of a city - more like a giant suburb with some nice bike paths. I grew up on the Northside. Same for the few times visiting Denver. You're gonna be driving if you want to have a social life.

You simply cannot compare it to a similar sized European city, or to any of the "big city" style US cities on the East coast.

For this exact reason I split my time between Minneapolis and Chicago and plan to move to Chicago as soon as possible full time. The lifestyles are not remotely comparable.
Django is perfectly fine for large projects. It's not the size of your project that will end up being a problem it's what you're trying to build that can be an issue.

Most application built today, as in in-house development projects, are basic CRUD applications. Perhaps with some integrations to other systems and maybe a little calculation thrown in. I doubt that many, regardless of size will run into any really challenges.

In terms of API, yeah, Django Rest Framework may not fit you're use case, and if that's the case there's little point to building on Django at all. For the most part, what I've seen, if DRF doesn't work for you, check that you're not actively fighting the framework. Doing the API as DRF want's you to may not result in the API you want, but it will give you a pretty nice REST API in the end.
