You're being downvoted for several reasons.

First, Dhall is quite unique in the design space of languages. Most (configuration) languages are either forbidding any user-defined functions/variables at all (like XML or JSON) or are Turing-complete (like having configuration directly in Python). Both of these approaches have downsides and Dhall is a compromise between those.

Second, the world of programming is not just Python. I like Python, but it is certainly not a focus of programming language research. Your statement sounds like a fallacy that if anything new could be invented, then it would have happened already.

Third, it is rather obvious that you unfortunately don't understand what Dhall is about and therefore any arguments you make are rather weak.
History is really important here. When Smalltalk systems first spun out of Xerox PARC, they carried hefty licensing fees. The whole free software / open-source movement wasn't as ingrained in developer culture back then. Worth remembering that SUN was marketing Java everywhere for free and that made a world of difference.
Is it related to / inspired by Ruby Packer[1]? Because I am skimming it and seems 90% similar.

>It might not unless the definition is really stretched. It's not data collected about you.

It's quite obviously personal data within the definitions used in GDPR. It's information that can be related to a natural person; those two criteria are the only criteria that must be satisfied for data to be regulated under the GDPR.

>Otherwise every email some employee sends discussing this situation would also need to be included.

Yep. If the contents of those emails can be related to a natural living person by any identifier (name, username, email address, account number etc) then it's personal data.
I don’t see how NoSQL could be better for rapid dev when something like Postgres can migrate its schema and data at once while enforcing constraints. That’s clearly better precisely when your schema is changing.
You can typically deploy a Windows binary to targets that use much older versions of Windows, and you cannot say the same for Linux distributions. There is significant backward-compatibility with Windows binaries, and it is intentional. It provides for a much better ROI for applications that need to be around for more than a couple of years.

SolarCity was, until fairly recently, the leading residential solar provider (it's a crowded market, so leading doesn't mean a huge market share like it does in, say, the mobile OS market). For cash position reasons they pivoted away from leases, which cost them the lead to Sunrun, because leases are still a big part of the market.

Isn't "banning" the user in this case simply declining to provide the service? If I were a house painter and, for whatever arbitrary reason, I decide that I don't really like you, I wouldn't paint your house even if you demanded it.

I have the right to not engage you. You don't have the right to compel me to engage.

As much as Airbnb made this worse that it had to be, I think the flip-side is much worse. Imagine if by some authority one individual was compelled to buy a good from or perform a service for another individual.
Like all things, it depends. Certain features/abstractions have more value at different stages of an application.

I LOVE using views early on in a new application's schema as it allows me to evolve the logical model separately from the physical model, and once I've coalesced on something I like it's easy enough to swap the view with a real table and my application code higher in the stack is none the wiser.

Even Facebook at one point relied on MySQL triggers to keep its memcache fleet synced.

I don't think you quite understand how financial markets work and how P/L (profit and loss) is computed.

> Development abilities would entail having the ability to take a task, or feature, write code around that task or feature including tests, and then submit a PR.

No dissonance from my end, and I'd say that other than the very narrow overlap of being able to "write code", that's quite distinct from what, for example, my Ops skills are.

To be fair, I did think of some other potential relatively narrow overlaps, such as revision control systems, strace/dtrace, and debuggers, but the latter is a bit tenuous, since it's a niche/vintage skill. Even with VCSes, I don't need, know, or use most features (and miss features like "svn export").

> As for having software developers handing off their software for someone else to operate, well, that's an anti-pattern that inhibits throughput and software quality.

You may be implying a false dichotomy (or maybe I'm reading one in that you didn't intend). I don't think anyone, myself included, is advocating in favor of the "throw it over the wall" anti-pattern that the original Devops cultural movement advocated so vehemently against.

I absolutely agree that developers should remain responsible for the operation of their software in production and, to whatever extent necessary, be involved in that operation. I'm also saying that if "whatever extent necessary" isn't remarkably minimal, it indicates something seriously wrong with the software, with the production-like development environment Ops is providing (i.e. implementation of Devops culture), or both.
The definition for urban is a grid cell, one kilometre wide, with 1500 people. A "urban centre" is a contiguous collection of urban grid cells that totals at least 50 000 people.

A city is then the set of municipalities that have at least 50% of their population in that urban centre.

I think the article is just summer filler, the results are at least a year old. Here Dijkstra talks about them:

I wouldn't say that it have to do with "innate intelligence". Not everyone have the "mindset" for programming, but I would think that everyone could _learn_ to have the mindset for it.

It's always hard to answer a question like this when one don't know more about you and the problems you face with programming, is it the language you are using? Do you have issues with the core logic of programming?

When I started out with programming there was a lot of things that I encountered that I found so hard that I questioned my own capabilities, but by keeping on doing it either way (seeing it have always been my dream) I always came to a point where it cracked and the logic was obvious.

It's also always harder to learn stuff without someone guiding you (which you might have without me knowing, hehe). So if you have the possibility I'd recommend taking a course and see if you feel the same after it. If you do, try another with another teacher (because not all teachers are great!) and see if you still have the same issues.

Keep on working on it and you will get there, and also... a whole lot of developers with big jobs really suck at programming... ;)
One could indict every major world power for foreign election interference. Laws are meaningless if no one follows them.
I think your view point is directly addressed in the article. Are you saying I was not around during the time periods discussed?

Also you have a rather lengthy response but most of it is just vague dismissals based on aggressive assumptions. Care to get into specifics?
Are you working with outdated technologies?

If so I would suggest start learning new technologies, start adding simple projects to you github and writing on linedin.

Seems like too much but just start one thing at a time. This way you will dramatically increase your changes of finding another remote when when necessary.

But in the end of the day you also need a plan B, which is money saved and some idea of where to go in case you need to move back to the city to find a regular job.
Airbnb has "public" and "private" reviews. "Public reviews" are shown everywhere, "private" is just messaged directly to the host only. You need to write a "public review" to do a "private one" to my knowledge, last time I used it.

Whenever I had a bad host relationship, I decided not to pursue it further and leave no review at all. It feels weird that there is no recourse action because you don't know if your host will recripcate posting a good review, a honest terrible review, a fake bad review, or none at all. Your host might know your experience was bad and doesn't know either if you will post what he will post. Airbnb reviews feels like the prisons dileama game theory problem.
Not related, but at first glance it looks similar. However, it appears that ruby-packer uses a library to access the squashfs image rather than actually mounting it. This makes it difficult (probably impossible) to load .so files from the squashfs file without having to copy them externally or to carry other helper executables along inside the image without also having to copy them externally to invoke.

A big goal for XAR is to be utterly transparent and not require hooks into Python, Node, or other runtimes to function.
A language is a dialect with an army and a-- err a parser and a compiler :)
Yes. One can use a C++ library like Restbed and embed the web server directly into a compiled executable that uses SQLite as an embedded database. The "large-scale, multi-system architecture" in such common use today is completely unnecessary when faced with this setup. I have multiple Restbed integrated applications whose entire disk footprint is 7MB; they can run on a $99 Intel Compute Stick, perform industrial grade facial recognition with multiple HD video streams, and still overwhelm traditional web stacks with events and data when pertinent events the software needs to report start emitting over the wire.

The "only catches" are the developer(s) need experience working in multi-threaded C++, and they need to understand the traditional web stack they are eliminating.
It's always a lot less expensive than hotels in the same area, and in many cases a higher quality building and room than nearby hotels. Just no room service.

That's interesting. Every now and again I'll look at Airbnb, just to see if it's changed much; especially if I'm trying to stay in an area with few choices.

Often all I see are spare bedrooms or studio apartments that people are putting online for more than the nearby hotels charge. I even remember seeing listings for couches, not even entire rooms. But I don't remember if that was Airbnb, or another service.

But room service, for me, is often a requirement. I'll pay extra for room service because with the way my business trips are scheduled, it's a necessity. Bonus points if it's available 24 hours.
I completely agree, and that also does not make those securities "investments". Additionally, even someone who "invests" (literally "putting clothes onto") into an account at Ally bank for 1.4% interest per year or something is still speculating on a few things-- namely that Ally will remain solvent and that their security measures are sufficient enough to ensure you will get your money in and out without much problem.

Bitcoin certainly is more speculative than GE stock, but look at GE's stock performance and dividend performance. Anyone who thought they were investing into the long term value of a major American company was actually speculating as to whether or not a blue chip stock could produce cash flow and maintain the value of real assets, which, they couldn't do so as well as they did 20 years ago.
"virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including virtual computer hardware platforms, storage devices, and computer network resources."

Containers have virtual file systems they access instead of the host one. XARs don't.
Exactly. The biggest motivation to use Kinesis was the other services we could plug in from 'AWS ecosystem'. Lambdas have Kinesis triggers available natively. We did not have any concern with the latency of Kinesis. Now I'm curious, do you have any literature on the bad performance history?

It has been a while but the issues that are coming to mind are:
- A (semver) patch version after 1.13.0 made a backwards incompatible change to the way the hmac field was stored in dynamo, IIRC. This broke older versions and alternative implementations (jcredstash) ability to read secrets stored by newer versions. IIRC it was some double base64-encoding issue or something like that.
- Early versions of credstash didn't use zero padded version numbers, and then later versions switched. This was documented but still caused some headaches.
- Recently coworkers have made some noise about incompatibility with python3. I haven't had a chance to evaluate that though.

Not a breakage, but annoyance:
- Lack of handling pagination for dynamo queries so you only get a list of the secrets+versions that are returned in the first page of results. We don't need to list all that often, but when you do... (rage). I would end up having to make queries against the dynamo table itself to find available secret names or versions.

Finally, it is much slower than using SSM parameters. It was a usable but warty tech for a while, but now that AWS has native support for storing secrets there seems little reason to continue with it.

> "big, intangible thing"

As the article stated, the global problem of plastic waste entering the ocean may be big, but it is definitely not intangible. The source of most plastic entering the ocean is poor coastal countries that lack developed solid waste management. (By contrast, the US is responsible for only 1% of plastic that enters the ocean annually.)

It took me some time, but I found a non-profit that helps develop waste management in African countries. If you want to make a tangible difference in future oceanic plastic waste volume, a donation here might help: http://www.waste.nl/

I said there was latent talent, not that cranks are legitimate.

I do agree that to contribute in most areas of science and math one needs a great deal of training and persistence. Not so sure about intelligence.

In my entire career, there have been a couple times when a complete outsider with little or no experience in a field came in and revolutionized it. But in those cases, generally the person was scientifically educated in an unrelated field.
Future generations will probably disagree with that statement.
Advice that my father gave my siblings and me, "Make a career out of a field you're interested in, with colleagues you can tolerate, that affords a standard of living you can accept." All three of these criteria are fairly weak individually. The first is not passion, merely interest. The second is just "tolerate". And the last one is flexible in that people may have different expectations in income. The power is when all three combine: they should hopefully form a life of decent work experience and financial stability. Admittedly a lot more pagmatic than finding and making a career out of the thing you enjoy most - but considerably more achievable.

There are plenty of things I am more passionate about than software development, but doesn't fulfill the other two categories. Those make for good hobbies, but usually not good careers.

CS researchers help answer why do our veins look blue when blood is red
At this point I'm thinking I need two homes that I can swap between every couple of years. I'm currently living in a nicely secluded property in the corner of a rural county in Ohio. It's like a living sanctuary and I'm addicted to being here. However, my kids haven't proven to be inclined to make use of the particular advantages it provides, and time is a-wastin'.

So now we're thinking about moving into an urban area to give them more opportunity to engage with others. The problem is that I've lived like that before as well and it makes me nearly homicidal after a very short while. It's clearly a personal flaw, but I don't know how to fix it. I could be surrounded by 99% awesome people, but it just takes that special mongrel to spoil it all. Maybe I've matured enough in the past few years to handle it better, but it sure would be nice to have the option to bail if we choose poorly.
Your examples contrast the two extremes of housing density: detached home surrounded by lots of land vs high density apartments.

There is a huge swath of possibilities in between, including dense, detached housing, smaller condo developments, and villages that provide many of the benefits you attribute only to detached low density housing, including self maintenance, private parking, etc.

With higher density, these places also provide easy access to greenspace for children, with the qualification that it is usually public greenspace.

You are not as likely to find this setup in big city centers like Manhattan or Chicago, nor in the vast low density suburban sprawl, but rather in older pre-car towns that have retained their human scale development pattern.
It’s not just you. Damn that does not look good on my iPad.
Thanks. Where "everything" is in the context of a transition or migration, rather than any kind of deployment, including an initial one, 2 months seems like a very reasonable minimum.

It's certainly in line with technical new hire productivity "ramp up" time estimates (typically 3 months?), which I would guess are a similar (if individual) case of change-of-mindset.
Your tone makes it sound like this is something terrible. Why shouldn't Chinese people have just as much right as anyone else to buy things they want, if they have the money for it?
Actually there was a bug both in the text and in the code. A=1 should be 0x8FE0, but this was not specified correctly. I have fixed it now (I hope).
Okay, fair... correction: popular American (Napa) red wines are extremely different tasting than typical white wines, and comparing those is lauglable. In that study a French wine was used, which are very "light" and can taste more similar to white wine. Sort of like comparing apple juice and hard cider. However red Napa wines have a very distinct flavor profile -- not so light like French/Greek wines are known to be. You'd definitely know the different by taste.
