[community Feedback] Django Simple Mail: Transactional Email Made Easy in Django
Even things we do understand and that we have documented are underused.

Let's take a few examples.

I had Malaria 10 years ago. Well, did you know Atovaquone-Proguanil (e.g: Malarone) can not only prevent Malaria, but also __cure__ it, killing the plasmodium in the liver?

Still, most people, including a lot of doctors, think you can't cure Malaria and you have to live with it for life.

The first documented death related to asbestos was in 1906, yet it was only banned a century later (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestos).

WHO declared in 2015 that processed meat was now classified as carcinogenic to humans. The information is publically available on their website (http://www.who.int/features/qa/cancer-red-meat/en/), but who knows about it ?

So not only our understanding of the universe is very limited, but also, our ability to propagate (https://xkcd.com/1053/ :)) and use said understanding is even more limited.

'Return' in this case means 'comes back into style', not that they literally went away. And as you said yourself in the very next sentence, 'they’ve been going in and out of style about every twenty years since the Sixties'. So yes they 'go' and 'return' every twenty years, and they have now reached the 'return' in this cycle again. Make sense?

No, lightsail is less well documented; but are based on EC2 burstable instances. These have a baseline performance where you can use 5%-30% of the CPU, and accrue credits to burst up to using 100% for short periods.

Wow that's a nice hijack of the topic ...

KMT is actually doing very poor at the time when they are ruling the whole China, which is something our (P.R.C) text book love to talk about. And it's the main reason of why many people are actually the fan of CCP at that time ... Just so you know.

Sadly we didn't end up with a two-party government like the U.S. did, so we have to argue with each other about who is the rightful government of the China all along.
Your point about OVH still falls flat for a US audience, unless saving a few dollars is a critical concern.

$20 for 4gb of ram, 4tb of bandwidth and 2 cpus at Linode is a rip-off? I guess if someone were quite lacking in funds and needed the absolute most cut-rate VPS prices they can get, it might be viewed as a rip-off. That's a legitimate issue if so, sure. By all counts Linode in fact provides a tremendous service at a low cost, as with DigitalOcean. I'm guessing that for most people, $3 vs $7 (or a similar ratio) simply doesn't matter very much, especially when you consider laws and latency.

To compete fully, Scaleaway and OVH will eventually need multiple US data centers, otherwise the price gap by itself isn't going to be enough and the world's largest economy will remain the domain of DO/Linode/Amazon/etc. Those companies already know they'll have to charge more for service in the US, which is why they don't already have lots of US data centers after all these years, they have no competitive advantage to bring to the table.

Again, if you locate in Canada you're opening yourself up to multiple jurisdiction compliance. You're going to have to comply with both Canadian and US laws in that case if you're a US business. The complexity and burden of doing so will only continue to expand.

Saving a few dollars by locating with OVH in Canada might be fine if you're just running a test setup and have no intentions of running a real business on it.
What I miss in the U2F tokens is a small display that would show transaction details which is approved.

Hm – As you pointed out, this is rather a matter of a paradigmatic shift. Cognitivist Science represents a rather unrelated branch of thinking. (Arguably it is also ignoring most of the early 20th century, e.g., the whole body of constructivist theory formed in the 1920s.)

Freud was essentially an answer to shortcomings in clinical psychology in the late 19th century, and, while there have been huge advances in clinical psychology, there will be always differences. However, Freud's hints at a general theory, his 'metapsychology' may be still of broader interest today. This is neither a contest nor a zero-sum game. – What I was addressing, are those who promote the notion of Freud being falsified just to be entitled to ignore him, to not read any, who rather prefer to convey a distorted idea, which is based one hearsay only, but still feel qualified to assess the value of his thinking. (The same is probably true for some notions of Kant. Also, arguably Freud and Jung represent rather opposing, incompatible concepts than the same.)

[Edit:]

*) the whole body of constructivist theory

This is meant to refer to authors like Edmund Husserl, Ernst Cassirer and what is still found in remanences under the title of sociology of knowledge (Alfred Schütz, etc).

D-Wave: First large-scale quantum simulation of topological state of matter
Your testimony reminds me of a kid I met in Mali. The guy was our guide, and he spoke 6 languages, including 4 local dialects, french and english. He had a cellphone and knew how to drive a 4x4.

He drove us to the desert, in a place at the north of Bamako known as the Dogon's country. There, he asked us if we were ok to take a detour by his parents village, and we agreed.

His parents were living with no electricity, using water from a well, in a small mud-made house. They slept among the goats and chickens.

It made me realized he had to live between those 2 worlds, and it felt so unreal.

My experience with Scaleway is that most of the time things are fine, but over 2-3 years there have been multiple very very annoying outages that have made me want to go back to DO, where I've had no issues whatsoever.

Also, I'm not sure if it's just me being an idiot or not - but sometimes my instances have become unresponsive and I've had to reboot them with a newer bootscript from the Scaleway UI to get them working again.

Will definitely be trying out Lightsail now. Good opportunity for me to familiarize myself with the AWS ecosystem.

> Changing fieldName is not easy in any data format.

If you use something like thrift or protocol buffers then the field on the wire is numbered, and so you can change the human-friendly name that's used in code without breaking wire-level compatibility.
The premise of a system design interview is ridiculously broad. You could spend half an hour talking about how to scale a system or design at a very high level; or it could be an excuse to get you to mock-up an API or to talk about some useful algorithm. You can and should expect to write code, but then again maybe you won't have to. It's a lucky dip question.

There are books which are tangentially useful, eg Designing Data Intensive Applications or Site Reliability Engineering. Even if you're not going for SRE, it's good to understand the problems that are involved with high availability.

Having a good overview of something like Code Complete is useful, if only because it has generic advice for designing large programs.

For case studies I don't think books are any good. Watch conference talks and read the company dev blogs.

A lawyer friend of mine one told me that his job was basically to try to see what he could sneak past the opposition's (his sentiment, not mine) lawyers in their contracts. He explained contracts are like a running game of tag for lawyers. "If they don't read it, fuck 'em".

He also said that all contracts are mutable. Just strike in red whatever you want, sign it, and send it back. If they don't object (for whatever reason, including not expecting a non-lawyer to do such a thing and never reading your reply), you've won this round of tag.

Then mentioning that 9/10 contract disputes get settled out of court meant the law didn't really matter, it's just what you can convince others about.

Anything would be better than XSD (though I don't think JVM-only is a good idea), but with an object you still don't necessarily know what kind of changes are going to be forward compatible or not. The only thing I've had any success with is something like Thrift or Protocol Buffers, where the canonical definition of your objects is a terse, Algol-like syntax but one that's been designed explicitly with version compatibility in mind, and you know exactly what changes do or don't break compatibility.

Had not heard that, but this is truely heartbreaking. I still think that Smalltalk is the better language than most of the modern object oriented languages, and be it only that is is a bit more pure and its "successors" are too much a mix with other paradigms. Just thinking of Python - it is in a wide range of features equivalent to Smalltalk withtout being as consequent in the object orientation.

One could only dream of how nice the programming world would be, if Sun had pushed Smalltalk instead of Java. Ironically, Hotspot started its life as a Smalltalk VM and only when Sun took over the development was turned into a Java VM.
The Second Edition of Practical Typography Is Out
My observation: The article doesn't say that it is automated, just that they're drones (meaning: always behaving the same way). I assume they hired a few people to do this (optionally through some other company). It seems like they got a few standard responses and they need to stick to that. Might be e.g. in Manilla or somewhere in India. Reasoning is that they really stay to the script. The responses are so similar, normally you'd try to tweak it more so it is more natural. I noticed for outsourced stuff they tend to stick more to the script no matter if it makes sense or not. It's up to the manager to notice that the something needs to be tweaked.

Of course, you want some ground rules but you also don't want to be such an ass of a company that you loose customers/collaborators over petty things.

In my company we have a legal department sometimes making contracts that us researchers are ashamed of (we get to use all your samples, any IP is ours when generated during the duration of the contract by the people involved, etc), and then there is our wish to keep collaborating with the other party and keep all of us working happily together now and in the future. These things collide, contracts get ignored.

> If your locality has Amazon warehouse as the largest employer your options are quite limited.

As the only employer, right? (Of the kind that doesn't ask for much different qualifications ofc.) Not largest. And in practice I'm skeptical of how often this is the really case. My brother isn't particularly specifically qualified in any trade but even he had options once he started working. And even then in this hypothetical town where Amazon is the only employer, you could say well, of all the rich companies at least Amazon is giving jobs to people. What's everyone else doing? Aren't they more morally culpable? Does any company even owe anyone a job anyways? It seems to me that the government should do more to help these people have more of a fighting chance of bargaining in the world by training them in schools, etc.
