You are 100% right about that. I've nearly tried almost all PHP frameworks, quite extensively I may add and at the end of the day I found that the less framework I use the better and faster my dev is. Now I just use packages from composer as needed and never ever use them anymore.

For me Laravel was a nightmare to use with Vue. Both template engines (blade, vue) use moustache tags so everything has to be declared inside @vetbatim. Then mix doesn't even compare to ease of vue cli imo. Then the nested directory structure was so confusing (was it inside resource folder, or controller folder). I've never been happier since I ditched these opinionated frameworks
>Unlike French, there are very few words where changing the gender has a different meaning

Being French myself I'm curious what makes you say that. I can't think of many nouns that change meaning if you swap their gender. They exist but I never thought that it was common enough to cause issues. For the most part I can understand strangers just fine even if get the genders wrong. "J'ai mis la téléphone dans le voiture qui est garé devant le maison" sounds obviously broken but absolutely unambiguous.

Also, French having only two genders means that you'll get it right at least half the time if you guess randomly, while in German you'd only have a 1/3 success rate, so there's that...

>I agree absolutely with not trying to map German propositions to English ones.

That's definitely true and it's not just with English <> German unfortunately, it's true with every language I've studied. Even among Romance languages there are significant differences (for instance "to dream of" is "rêver de" in French but "sonhar em/com" in Portuguese, and then there's the whole "por/para" distinction that doesn't really exist in French). Similarly I'm currently trying to learn Russian and that's one of many difficulties with the language (made even worse because you need to learn the right preposition but also what case it calls for).
More interesting context: both David Pecker and AMI have cooperation deals with Mueller, and have admitted to killing stories about Trump during the election.
Good on you for doing this. I too build what people need, not just stuff the industry says I should. You're doing good work if you're giving people what they need.

My latest project involved actually building a Wordpress site but in such a way that someone with no coding/html/css ability can alter it in a virtually unlimited variety of ways to build what he needs.

I actually built the site for the operator, not the business. And in turn that's already having positive impacts on the business as they can react and create things they need quickly.

Some parts I wrote myself but sure I hacked parts of it together with theme builders and plugins. Lambast me all you like but those were right for him as he had ownership/understanding of what they did for him rather than some unintelligible code. And that's what matters sometimes!

Funny this, +/- 6 years ago when I last worked with Doctrine I had the same feeling about Doctrine itself. I thought it was a poor replacement compared to Hibernate / JPA.

I'm getting old ;)

Obviously things will have matured since then.

Doctrine implements the Unit of Work pattern. From what you're saying GORM is more like an Active Record ORM.

You're right, that wouldn't make it a good direct alternative.

One hopes that they had thought of that, but who knows?

Looking at the warehouse videos, it’s clear that under the robots is a vast sea of individual towers of plastic boxes, all packed in tightly. I suspect that once that plastic was burning merrily, it would be very hard to stop & the heat would start cooking off the lithium batteries in the robots above. Hard to see how a sprinkler system can prevent fire from taking hold deep inside those towers of boxes, if that’s what happened.

I completely agree with you, but your point is not about tipping, it's about this particular scam. Why are you replying as if I'm defending it? There's no argument to be had about this.
I guess it is because you migrate data between application versions. And sometimes this means simply applying an SQL script file, sometimes you also combine this with upgrading the DB server itself, then you might also need to do the whole export-import dance (async replication + export-upgrade-import on a secondary instance, then promote that instance and either drop the old and create a new secondary, or do the same exp-imp on the old-primary).

Good question though, it could be "schema upgrade", but sometimes there's a downgrade, so somehow people started calling it migration.

And it's especially important to note, that users don't care about the schema, operators care a bit, developers slightly more, and if there is a dedicated DBA in the loop, now that person might finally really care about it, but they rarely write the migration scripts. And developers care about data. (At least that's my impression.)

Gone in a month? That sounds crazy fast. I'm an algo trading guy myself, and I can't imagine being up and running within a month of starting.

You have to code:

- Feed handlers

- Back office

- Research platform

- Strategy execution

- GUI

You need to have:

- PB agreements

- Network access (telco the world over suck as doing this in a reasonable time)

- Exchange memberships / ISDAs (depends what you're up to)

I guess you could have spun out from a larger group with some of this stuff, but then you'd probably not crash and burn that fast.

I do agree with the sentiment that fast talkers get more money than they can handle.

Not so much about political positioning, but simply that the quality of the straight news reporting was high & there were no ads, so viewers were flocking to the BBC website in preference to other commercial news providers.

That’s the story I’ve been told at least.
Go's a language for managers that don't trust their developers with their own intelligence. It's either a good thing or a bad thing.

Go is actually simpler than PHP as a language, once one understands "explicit" pointers (though PHP does expose pointers for a few things, arrays for instance since they are copied by default).

As for PHP, it's useful IN SPITE of itself, and that's the issue, the language works against the developer and only the tooling, frameworks and rigorous security practices can mitigate its flaws.
I paid for courses at the start, which really helped.

Beyond that, reading books in German, and dealing with German society in German (surprisingly hard to do here in Berlin, as all the locals love to speak English, Jens Spahn excepted). Watch German TV.

Show HN: Real Time Human&Background Separating app
Another fan of RSS here and open ecosystems.

I’ve had a similar problem on my old phone (running 4.4 Kit Kat). It doesn’t even need to reboot to lose track of the SD card. It happens randomly (seems more likely when the phone is charging) and it’s infuriating when it does – but it’s seldom enough that I’ve learned to live with it. Fair play for making an attempt to get the bug fixed. In my case, I figured Spotify probably wouldn’t support such an old OS.

These are some of the exact same observations that I've had while learning to the 10% fluency level. German has just been a joy for learning root word associations. Learning just a few root words can yield so much (think "die dienst").

Also nice is seeing a completely new German word in writing and immediately knowing with nearly 100% confidence how it is pronounced.

Compare that to the unfortunate person learning English, which almost seems deliberately designed to trick you with seemingly arbitrary pronunciations.

Same here... just using the same language as the rest application, usually a file with constants or a class/struct/module/whatever.

the only reason config files in another language might be required is when you require configuring the application after it is compiled to native binary code.

Obviously this doesn't apply to all these applications written in scripting languages.

I do wonder how you create type-safe config files though. I currently have a `development.ts` and a `production.ts`, where the `production.ts` is only loaded when `node_env === production`. `production.ts` contains blank/default values and the file is overwritten on the server with production secrets.
As an algo trading guy myself I see the recent ML -> trading stuff as a bit of a bubble. There's a lot of job ads out at the moment looking for ML people in trading. Quant firms have not done great recently, and they all want to find new things. The question is whether there's anything out there to be found with ML techniques.

Also a lot of the well known quant firms that hire loads of phds don't actually do anything particularly interesting or profitable. They are simply benefitting from institutional momentum: there are still pension funds and family offices with a mandate to stick money in trend followers, so the big trend following names hold on to their assets.

It always amazes me the number of people who I've worked with who only use the touchpad on their laptops all day - in my last job it was about 90% of the office. On top of the post's complaints, they're also not at all ergonomic and uncomfortable to use for long periods (not that normal mice are fantastically ergonomic either, but at least using something to the side rather than directly in front of you)

To a degree, it's just what you're used to I guess. I can't control the old trackpoint laptop mice at all accurately, but some of my friends swear by them and can't bear touchpads. But then I've never owned a laptop with one, while they grew up with them.

One suggestion for the author that might make their "click and drag" problems easier - I can double tap (without fully clicking down the touchpad) then keep the second tap held down to have the same effect as moving a mouse with left click held down. I think this is a Gnome/Cinnamon option though, touchpad support and features can vary wildly on Linux, so it's worth looking into different options there (eg libinput vs synaptics).

Ultimately you either need to get used to it, adjust your habits/software, or plug in a mouse. It's easy enough to see why Mac users like the touchpad, since the OS and most of the programs are designed to play well with a touchpad. But it's not surprising that a 30 year old terminal emulator doesn't work so great with them.

Personally, I find the concurrency support quite lacking. Compared to Java/Javascript/Python/etc, it's great, but nothing compared to languages like Ada or Elixir.

I wish we could use more than channels - for me, I often feel like I'm shoehorning them in because there's no support for protected objects (native queues, conditional variables etc).

Perhaps I'm just using them wrong. Sometimes I have to use locks, and I don't think we should be forced to use locks in 2019. We've had better solutions since the 80s.
The thing about google news is you need to be a news site. And at a scale where you can have a constantly updated news sitemap (https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/7428...) where posts published in the last 48 hours is valid, rest is ignored by Google.

The problem Google news has is not everything is news, it is also gamed for PVs. Next time google does doodle, do a search, and their will be 100s or articles trying to get PVs from the 'news' piece.

As @bduerst mentioned, you want it harder to get into Google news, not easier.

And frankly depending on the type of "news" you write, Google News won't even be a great traffic source.

There's a chance I'm mostly just being hopeful, and you're right in both that Trump would totally support doing something like that, and that the intelligence agencies aren't a single entity.

>>For me it checks out - leaking informations sounds like something that Trump or his supporters would do. Why would not they, if they have the option to? Per the intelligence agencies - are you sure that they are a single entity, where people are of uniform opinion? And every single person follows law to the letter of it? There is the example that those services employed Snowden - if the services were so organised as to avoid such hacks, we would not have heard of Snowden.

But from my experience in other government entities, I believe that doing something like hacking into someone's phone, would require approval and support from high enough officials in those organizations, and so far it seems that these organization do still seem to remain professional and not involved in political actions by the president.

I agree that there might be (and I'm assuming there are) private Trump supporters in those agencies, that for example, would do 'a Snowden' and release classified and private information that they shouldn't. But that information first needs to gathered, and I don't think Jeff Bezos has done something to warrant previous gathering of information about him.
(If information about Trump for example is released this way, it would seem more likely to me, because we know they collected that information while thinking he might be a spy).

But once again, I hope I'm not just being hopefully optimistic in my trust of 'the system'.
> Social sharing, interactivity, and reasonable-to-high levels of visual polish were all frequent features presented with raw HTML/CSS a decade ago.

You and I lived in a very different decade.

>If you have a decent designer available to you, some of them can hand you a quality original screen design in an day or less in a PSD/Illustrator/whatever file, and it's possible for most cases to convert it to HTML/CSS from scratch in about the same time

So, let me unwind this:

- if you have a designer

- some of them can give you some design

- it's possible for most cases to convert them to HTML/CSS from scratch

- responsive may add time

That's a lot of ifs and probabilities and outright unsubstantiated assumptions.

Hence. A decade ago, when frameworks were few and far in between, there were fewer "polished" websites than today just because it's exceptionally hard to create something polished in HTML/CSS. Also, decade ago is 2009. So, no flexbox, no grid, incompatibilities in box models, etc. etc. etc.
