The other option for that use case is the Pi Zero W, which is probably a bit friendlier for most use-cases. It has the older BCM2835 from the Pi 1 (but at 1GHz) – it's quite a bit cheaper, though does require the additional SD card.
I was really disappointed in the second season. It felt like it suffered from the usual problems of the second season of a lot of netflix originals I've watched.

For castlevania in particular, the art and animation really declined between the first and second season, the tone and atmosphere seemed totally different and the story just kinda went offs the rails.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first season, it was one of the best video game adaptations i've seen but the second season just didn't quite do it for me. It just felt rushed and cheap.

My UK-model Toyota Celica Supra was owned by its original owner for 20 years. During that time, the car was pampered and treasured - I have a large folder of extensive service records dating to the late-80s. My father bought it in 2006 and gave it to me in 2013. I've sworn never to get rid of it, no matter what. Not only is it an incredible car to drive, and visually striking (classic 80s wedge shape), but no current car has my attention. Plus, even if current cars are more efficient, more powerful, etc, the amount of resources and energy used in the manufacture of a newer car quickly offsets those benefits when I could simply keep a well-engineered vehicle running for longer. Finding parts is understandably difficult, but I see no reason to chop and change cars every few years. If I could, I would have owned the car from new, but it's 4 years older than me!

That ship sailed long ago.
Fair, which one would you recommend picking up first?
Agreed. And I find that with tools that similar often the trade-offs aren’t obvious until you’re fairly deep into the project.

Or that the trade-offs have to do with differences in project philosophy (Rails’ convention over configuration vs Django’s explicit over implicit), which in turn impacts in what ways they’re flexible vs rigid in subtle ways, or what sorts of ecosystems grow up around them.

Often there isn’t a right choice or a wrong choice, but there are still trade-offs. And you or your particular team may be able to more easily absorb certain trade-offs than others.

Even if two technologies are fully equivalent, you’ll need some basis on which to base your decision and to use to build consensus so that you don’t spend the next three years fielding “we should have gone with Laravel” complaints twice a week.

Which is why those in-depth comparisons up front can be so valuable — if you can find them.
I had the same experience with XLST back in the day. At the time it was the perfect tool for my needs -- I no longer had to wheedle the back-end guys into giving me the specific data I needed, they could just dump it all on me in a big wad of XML and I could do anything I needed to it.

I mean, the whole time I knew it was a doomed language, far too philosophically pure to be practical, and the signs that XML was a mass hysteria were there from the beginning -- but it was exactly the tool I needed at the time I needed it.

In the 'west' we are conditioned into thinking daily meat consumption is a natural state of affairs. But actually, we are eating more meat today than at any time in the past.

A 2011 report by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency found that:

- average EU consumption of animal products was twice the global average

- per-capita consumption of animal products in Europe has increased by around 50% over the 1961-2007 period

- the energy intake and protein intake from animal and vegetable products in the EU are higher than recommended in WHO guidelines – for protein by as much as 70%

Source: The protein puzzle: The consumption and production of meat, dairy and fish in the European Union
https://storage.googleapis.com/planet4-eu-unit-stateless/201...

This more recent collection of data by Our World in Data (2017) shows the staggering rise in meat production and consumption worldwide. The mind simply boggles at the sheer scale of the animals killed for human consumption e.g. more than 1.4 billion pigs slaughtered globally in 2014 for meat. (I'm a meat eater in case you're wondering.)

In the 'west', the cheap meat prices and abundant supply at the supermarket are impossible to resist. Changing our diet doesn't mean giving up meat but it does mean reducing consumption substantially. How many of us are willing to make that change?

> Medicare and Social Security have been spared from cuts. Programs that benefit younger workers and families have not.

This is a political incentive problem. Retired people tend to have free time to engage in politics (or at least watch TV all day and get fed "news") and they turn out to votes in droves (as they don't have to e.g. take a day off to vote!), while young people mainly have the power to pull off a shitstorm in social media and that's it, they don't vote enough for politicians to prioritize them over retirees (how can they, when they have to work two jobs to survive and are threatened with losing their job for missing work to vote - no matter if it's illegal, someone depending on the job will NOT complain).

In addition, retirees are way better organized and actually have the free time on their hands to do stuff like mass phone calling of representatives.

In OS programming, there is a strong bias towards favoring C as the only serious programming language. Rust is one of the few programming languages that has the potential to break through this barrier, especially because the ability to support bare-metal programming is one of its design goals.

But the key word there is "potential"--Rust, as it stands right now, is not ready to be used in production OSes. Features such as inline assembly or other developments for #[no_std] support need to be worked on and supported in non-nightly modes for any production OS to take notice, for example.

ECS is the "microservices" of game development : it's touted as the way to go, and in some cases it's the best solution, but it comes with increased wiring complexity cost, and the hype surrounding it causes it to often be adopted for dubious reasons (e.g "deep class hierarchies are bad, therefore I need ECS").

> Facebook will never behave in a trustworthy manner, since it's completely against their business model.

Yeah, I agree Facebook's fundamentally broken and I think it's going to take some kind of GDPR-type regulation to fix things (and hopefully "creatively destroy" it).

The idea that I was arguing for is that their untrustworthiness means Facebook is in error, and it's not the user's error for trusting them at some point and having that trust abused. It's only the former that will justify the kind of regulatory response to bring them to heel, and the latter is mainly a reaction to prevent that reckoning.
C first. C++ was originally a superset of C, though my understanding is that that is no longer strictly the case.

Still, learning C will make it easier to learn C++, because C is far simpler and in order to understand C++ you’ll have to master C’s concepts anyway.

> yesterday's factories and warehouses are being converted into coffee shops and homes that people love and pay a premium for.

That's because in post industrial neighbourhoods, the first people to move in are artists, which need lots of cheap space.

The artists then make the neighbourhood trendy and attract buyers looking for lofts.

Of course the lofts condos are just an imitation of the style of 'housing' that the artist pioneers live in.[1]

[1] Those lofts are definitely not glamorous. (poor insulation, drafty windows, improvised bathroom plumbing, plastic core for walls, etc...
It's cute that they call it a fleecing, as if millenials could really have done anything about this.

On a similar tack, I recently started using a company that has a monthly cost ($250) for 4k words worth of blog posts, which I use to write blog articles for several side projects. I've been happy to outsource this chore, so perhaps a market does exist for Draftss as well. Best of luck.

Advice from a Hiring Manager to a Code Bootcamp Graduate
Having an open, accessible repository of scientific data sounds like a good thing, but I doubt it would help the problem of reproducibility.

The biggest problem of such a "github" would be that a scientific repository is only as good as its maintainer. In software development land we already see a lot of egos clashing over the code, but software has a clear "works/doesn't work" criteria. In many scientific areas such a criteria is hard to find and we'll have to rely on the personality of a repository maintainer.

The repositories will soon become a brand on its own. Think "nature.github.com", "physrev.github.com" and "lancet.github.com".

Remove userid / cookie sync / whatever you name it from bid requests, and make them only context based. Also, forbid cookies from ads providers to be stored on the end user machine.

Note that this doesn't disallow websites with first party data and user consent to add user related information to the bid requests to increase their value, it just doesn't allow to correlate the information with a person after the RTB process ends. Of course it totally changes the role of data providers in the current ecosystem, but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

Contributing to open source for free is easier than landing clients. But your time is better spent looking for clients or just putting some code you have already written on Github. Just putting some code on Github lets recruiters check a box if that's all they are doing.

If a recruiter is looking for evidence of specific technical competence on Github (Java, machine learning, Angular, etc.), no matter what projects you work on, your work probably won't reflect the specific skill. There are just too many possible skills.

Anyway, working for free is about the worst approach to a career as a contractor/consultant/freelancer. Selling is hard and necessary.
Some people prefer working completely alone, some people have the discipline to avoid all the distractions at home, but for those who don't, coworking spaces are a pretty good compromise.

Subscriptions will see declines across platforms because of fatigue and people realizing that they’re not really using the subscriptions or deriving adequate value from those.

I only bother about subscriptions if it’s for visual media (selectively) or for online backups. Everything else is what I use only occasionally, and don’t see the value in getting stuck paying for those. As the article hints at, services that aren’t niche or highly focused on one topic (it closely related set of topics) or voice will not find many takers.

For software, I like having a free trial and then paying once and deciding when I want to upgrade, at what price/discount, etc. I believe it’s up to the developer to provide adequate value to tempt people to upgrade, and then leave it to them to decide. Most app subscriptions make sense for those who create a lot more monetary value with the use of the apps. That’s a small percentage of the population.

Subscriptions to news sites don’t make much sense when what I read all the time is highly selective and through news aggregation sites (not Facebook!) or applications (like an RSS reader).

I personally can’t wait for a bigger and wider backlash against subscriptions, since every producer or developer seems intent on pushing that as the only option to users.
Sounds like virtue signaling. I doubt the environmental impact is lower when considering the additional shipping and more durable product packaging. “But there’s so much plastic in the ocean, we need to do something about it”, it’s called a landfill.

Verizon VSP – cause and effect
Regarding the VERIZON voluntary separation program, here’s the deal ...
VZ revenue was way down in 2017. There was a lot of pressure on the C level execs to restore confidence with “the street”. They made a ridiculous promise to instead, reduce costs. The target was stated as $10B in cost reduction over a 3 year period. This would obviously be impossible without a huge cut in labor costs. We saw this coming but did not forsee the sudden departure of major C level personnel including the CEO in mid 2018. The new CEO was left holding the bag.
The fact that only 10,400 personnel were approved for VSP, out of 44,000 eligible, is disturbing. Cost reduction targets remain in place. This indicates high probability that a major RIF will be enacted in 2019-2020 to achieve the desired workforce reduction. Those who have not found a place in the lifeboats will be left to face a very bleak & uncertain outcome. VZ is massively changing as a corporate organization, with “Verizon 2.0” initiating in March 2019. This will soon be a totally different company.
