That's essentially what we ended up doing, selectively using Serpy for certain slow responses. It still felt hackish though, as though we were taking the brakes off certain responses because we knew they needed little validation (IIRC). DRF serializers still need work; marshmallow provides a similar feature set to DRF but serializes almost twice as fast:

Indeed, nobody told me. I experienced the immediate effects of withdrawal when my stomach started tensing up for no good reason, and I started sweating. That was enough to convince me to stop with the cold withdrawal and start tapering.

I did not know this could have been life threatening. That's... comforting...

I feel like it's really self-serving, too.

"The important work is the work that I, specifically, am good at. Other work that I do not find compelling is unimportant, and should therefore be delegated to less important people."

The routine work done by "grunts" is critical to keep any organization running, whether it's a Fortune 500 company or a family of four. Lots of jobs (customer support, widget assembly, laundry, dishes) are unglamorous but vitally important.
At the Chaos Communication Congress last year, there was this talk about electronic health record apps for patients and it shows how insecure they are and also how on an philosophical position they are a not so good idea:

Look up the history of heroin, or methamphetamine. They both were marketed as safe in the early days.

Drug companies like to sell drugs like soda companies like to sell soda.

The conflict of interest is so awful that sometimes I wonder if we should ban for-profit drug companies.
We're happy to change titles to make them more accurate, but someone's going to need to make it fit 80 chars.

Edit: I took a shot. "Triplebyte" doesn't fit, but probably shouldn't be in there anyway; it's already next to the title.
One thing about using VPNs on the phone is that a lot of mobile/public networks only allow port 80, which prevents the VPN from connecting. If CF makes a version of wireguard that can do port 80, that would be great.

As far as their bottom line, I guess this helps them sell services by having a documented number of people suckling the internet straight from the CF teat?
First, I'm a Libertarian. My opinions are not part of the LP, but my own. I am not an-cap, but much more pragmatic here.

Second, I think that the Federal government should be in place to provide for what is considered essential infrastructure. In the late 1700's, essential infrastructure was enough road maintenance to support interstate commerce. Through the 1900's that grew to encompass clean water, electricity and telecommunications and radio. Today, I'd suggest that includes internet access. IMHO, if you can get electricity, water and a phone line, you should have access to high speed internet.

I'd rather see spending accountability and a focus on green markets over admittedly aging infrastructure in urban areas where market pressure should be forcing upgraded infrastructure and private spending for such measures. Also, I do feel there should be a spending cap and budgeting in most things. It isn't bad by itself, but it could be... the real thing comes down to "it depends." Given the guy in charge, I'm not sure that it's a good thing in any way.
One of the disadvantages of corporate ordering I think is that you're much more likely to get a bunch of machines from the same production run. If something is wrong with that batch you'll see an inordinately high number of failures, or you might luck out and get a good batch and see no problems at all.

One at a time, you could end up with one machine with each of the failure modes for that manufacturer, or none at all. But with a batch you could get the same problem over and over.

Long ago we ordered 10 ThinkPads for a project. Two summers later a hard drive failed. Then another. And another. By end of summer, about 7 people had needed to rebuild their machines for the exact same reason: bad hard drives. On the plus side, we were exceptionally good at rebuilding by the 4th one. So when mine was #6 I hardly flinched. But I still lost a day (encrypted drives make everything take a lot longer).
2.0 version was introduced at CES in January of this year.

https://www.bk.com/menu-item/veggie-burger

The Impossible Burger is in weird niche that screams "fad" to me, or at least early-prototype, like self-driving cars -- it's an expensive fake meat, dollar-for-dollar optimized for looking and feeling like low-quality ground beef burger, instead of high-quality something-else-burger. At best it's an expensive but meatless mediocre meat-imitation burger. Why opt for that instead of a less-expensive but good burger?

Some Android app doesn't work well with VPNs. It might those set to only sync on wifi. I wonder if it will improve.

Google photos didn't want to sync when using the CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 app. I think I had problems with podcast apps in the past too.
To build apps... the best way by far in my experience has been to simply find an objective app and to build it. What you need to develop as an app developer is an intuition about how to structure your project for it's long term goals, and you don't get that intuition by following tutorials telling you the right way to do it. It's developed by using the wrong patterns hitting face against the wall over and over again.

You mention websites and apps, so of coarse you'll want to focus on JavaScript in the beginning as it's a good enough language and the only language that allows building both decent websites and apps, unless you want to use some sort of transpiler to JS, which is probably too much infrastructure in the beginning.

Don't ignore software development practices, but IMO in the beginning:

1. Find a problem you want to solve. This could be an already solved problem, like a Todo app. It can be more motivating if you have a problem that doesn't have an existing solution though, but will require more creativity and design on your part.

2. Learn as little is possible to get things working, and keep on adding features. When you add features, you'll notice that some of your earlier decisions make new features harder or easier to implement. This is when it's a good time to research development patterns, because you have a very practical example of why the patterns are important.

3. Do not be afraid to re-write significant portions, or throw away code. Thinking of different ways to write you project and re-writing will give you a great intuition for evaluating frameworks (code libraries that define the architecture by which you write your code) and even writing your own.

4. In the beginning, prefer to use lower level tools (avoid to many frameworks or libraries). As you build bigger apps, you'll start to appreciate the value of the frameworks and understated where they're appropriate.

The only other thing I would say is to find a mentor. When run up against issues in your projects, it can be hard to discover the patterns you need to fix it, and a mentor can save you a ton of time.

Good luck!
A case in point about human perception: while you read jbob2000’s comment that way, I read that same comment as nothing more than a counter to the idea that humans were somehow invulnerable to errors.

This seems a bit strange, given the main argument in favour of replacing human drivers with AI is that it should be possible to make one that works as well as the best human driver, only without getting tired, high, or distracted, and with reaction times measured in microseconds instead of hundreds of milliseconds.

We’re not there yet. I don’t know how far we are from that future.

With the speed that frameworks and technologies change these days, I feel like we're all technically junior developers. Sure I have over 10 years of experience as a professional software developer, but I've only been coding in the latest flavor of .Net for the 2-4 years it's been around. Does anyone care about the five years of experience with Web Forms back before ASP.MVC was popular? Or my years of experience with 3rd-party tool X that no one uses anymore? What about Bootstrap or JQuery?

We all only have about two years of experience with whatever the hot new language is before it changes to something else.

Certainly not. Rich people can afford to pay very high prices so they don't have to change their life one bit.

Only the poor will suffer if you want things to change meaningfully, nbut they aren't stupid so you'll end up with yellow vests everywhere, and government will become even more authoritarian (if not dictatorial) to "restore order and stop the eco-bullshit".

Edit: I live a few blocks away from where yellow vests have been demonstrating for 20+ Saturday in a row. I had cars burning in my street several times now, so I'm just describing what's already taking place. Macron's government is getting more aggressive day by day, enough for the UN commission for human rights to send several warnings. Macron has made clear he won't change its policies one bit -- e.g out of the question to put back the tax on ultra riches (aka ISF) but poor people will have to pay more to drive to work... aaaaand we've now got the most violent protestations in France since the Algerian War!. The two former presidents (N Sarkozy and F Hollande) just said they expect the far-right to come to power very soon.

TLDR: Don't expect people to pay taxes on essential goods if the riches don't have to change their consumption too. Either we, collectively, change or we don't. The message is quite clear.

Even if you change residences, you'll typically be in the same state. Even if you change states, you can just set it up again in, what, super conservatively, under an hour (you've already done it once so fewer missteps).
Vegns often fail to understand how important texture is to meat eaters when it comes to replicating a meat product so that it will appeal to meat eaters.

Additionally, a lot of vegns are also extremely health conscious, and so they tend to avoid a lot of unnecessary fat in their diet. A lot of chefs will say "fat is flavor," which is true, but what's also true is that fat conveys flavor. It sticks to surfaces in places that water doesn't and allows flavors to linger.

It's why the Impossible and Beyond Burgers are succeeding: they haven't lost sight of what makes a burger, a burger.

Synthetic Minds (YC S18) | SF + Seattle | $120k+ | Engineer #5: commensurate equity | ONSITE, Full Time

The ideal candidate has a master/phd in systems, compilers, programming languages, or distributed systems. Synthetic Minds will allow you to leverage your technical chops.

Synthetic Minds is building program synthesizers, i.e., automation that can write code. We have a system in production that reads/writes smart contracts in Ethereum's Solidity language, and we use it to ensure our customer's code is secure and correct. Eventually, we plan on going far beyond smart contracts. Think of what we are building as a compiler that takes code and translates it to theorem proving, so that we can build automation that can understand code almost as close to a human. If it can understand code, with sufficient compute it can even synthesize it.

In Oct 2018, we raised a $5.6M seed round from Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures and Pantera Capital [3]. We have paying customers and a backlog waiting to be on-boarded. This is the founder’s second startup and they have a PhD in the area. The 1st employee was the first hire at Parse (YC S11) and has 10 yrs at Google. We are currently hiring engineer #5, and aim to be a 15 person all-engineering team in 2019.

Roles/Openings [1]:

* Systems/infrastructure engineer — You’ll be working on distributing heavy CPU processes on AWS. Making sure processes run reliably over many days. Ensure robustness of the infrastructure across node/process/memory/algorithm failures.

* Compilers/verification/synthesis engineer — You’ll be working on developing new algorithms that analyze and generate code [2]. You’ll identify when an engineering solution is needed (i.e., throw across a cluster of machines), or when an algorithmic improvement is required. You might even play with the Z3 theorem prover. And if you’re really into it, you can improve Z3.

* Smart contract engineer — You'll be working on the front-end of the compiler, which reads in smart contracts languages (e.g., Solidity) and makes it accessible to the backend (the part that does semantic analysis).

Burger King and McDonald's "burgers" barely resemble the real thing anymore, so an "Impossible Burger" might be a step up.

If they had replaced the power connector, the first USB and the HDMI connectors with USB-C, included the new touchpad, I would have been just fine with the design.

You can always find people with the exact perspectives that you're looking for. I suggest the smaller the number, the better, and the fewer of these "boards" the better. The ultimate goal is to get as close to the one person that has a perfect set of perspectives on all topics, so that you can safely entrust that person to make the right decisions on everything. In the meantime the rest of us can go fishing.
The parent comment gets this a little wrong, but there is truth to the data collection aspect.

An increasing number of physicians have to be part of an integrated health network in order to get competitive reimbursement rates. Those networks upload individual patient data to state exchanges which in turn have started to upload to nationwide databases.

The rollout of this is staggered and uneven, as of a couple years ago when I stopped working at a company with its own electronic health record product.

As a sibling comments correctly notes, the CMS bonus (or absence of penalty) does not depend on direct uploading. It does, however, depend on using a system which has the capability of doing that uploading ('sharing').

Finally, I saw over the past 10 years a giant increase in the number of records audited by health insurers. Those audits involve giving the entire patient file to the insurer.

I'm waiting for the day one of these large databases gets compromised and everyone acts shocked that the data was being collected.

She was by no means stable before the medication. In fact - Bipolar, if the hypomanic/manic states hit at the right time, could be a huge help with school.

I believe this is a very US-centric viewpoint.

I'm using the article 'Beef Cattle and Greenhouse Gas Production' from Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/beef/news/info...

According Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the UN 2006 report livestock were responsible for 18% of all human-related greenhouse gas production. 14.5% according to 2013 report.

Of that 43% is Enteric.

There may only be 9% GHG emissions in the US, but beef also comes from other countries where these emissions are very different. See Regional and Production System differences.

From the article -- There was an approximately 4-fold difference in emission intensity between the top 10% of producers and the bottom 10% of producers within a system.
If I'm reading them correctly, those two posts are the opposite of what the parent post tried to say.

It's an Impossible Burger, and left undersaid is that it's a fast-food burger. It's not an Impossible Steak or an Impossible Grill Burger. I just don't see the point, vs a high-protein high-fat patty made of bean or soy protein isolate that tastes good in it own non-fake-fast-good-meat-burger way. The only reason I am tempted to buy meat patties is that they are so much cheaper than Boca patties. An even-more-expensive patty that adds red liquid to simulate the look of heme is moving in the wrong direction.
Always a smart move.
