If that opinionated manner is the usage of a plain imperative form, then it isn't leveraging the advancements made more popular in the upsurge of interest in functional methods in the last 10 years.

I am not saying python should grow these features, but merely that for any new work for which python is being considered there could be a strong case made for choosing a more modern, more safer, more functional language instead.
Great good to know. Thanks.

Exactly this. Keep some respect for yourself and seek professional employment advice. Your current work situation may expose some desperation in your market pitch.
To me it's not the matter that "people shouldn't be doing jobs that can be automated" or "machines should do the work instead," it's that in a capitalist system, these changes are inevitable. As soon as these jobs start to be automated out of perfectly sound capitalist motivations, the dollar value of a human performing that task is going to fall precipitously, to near-zero.

Clearly we need to figure out how to keep those people compensated enough to survive, possibly through changing to work that our economy values sufficiently, through subsidizing them from those same gains in efficiency through automation, or via some means not yet discussed.

Hmm, you right. You could also build a Dropbox clone yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.

> that it is $0.40/million requests beyond free quota versus $3.50/million (first 333 million) on AWS API Gateway

Comparing Run to API Gateway is a bit apples to oranges, as one is a managed compute product and the other is an API management product.

Run (and GCF, and GAE) automatically provision an HTTP endpoint for you so you aren't required to use an API management product like Cloud Endpoints. However, they don't provide API key validation, rate limiting/quota, schema validation, etc. which is what you're paying for (even if you're not using them) with API Gateway.

A more apples to apples comparison would be something like:
- Cloud Run ($0.40/M) + Cloud Endpoints ($3.00/M) = $3.40/M
- Lambda ($0.20/M) + API Gateway ($3.50/M) = $3.70/M

> But, fighting optional code signing the wrong battle. As long as the requirement can be disabled, there's nothing wrong here. Safe, but optional defaults are a good, practical compromise.

I'm not convinced this is true. Over time, voluntary adoption of this will steadily increase. Then when it reaches a certain level of ubiquity, Apple can flip the switch to make it mandatory and since 99% of users won't have their day-to-day impacted the blowback will be tolerable to Apple.

This has to be fought now, while it still is optional. Otherwise we're already sunk.

I'm a bit surprised if I understand you correctly. I though a goroutine would run and hold the thread until any kind of sleep.

edit: Oh but there might be no "core.async sleep" in most of clojure libraries like IO/net stuff, which would explain why async go blocks hold the thread more often than they should, whereas Go has "goroutines sleeps" everywhere.
Sure, but that in some sense makes it worse. So now I get locked into a contract for years on a product that maybe they'll just stop working in 1/2 way through my contract. Sure, they'll have to keep it running for me until the end of the contract, but they may not keep it running well.

The other day I had the thought of "all memory is muscle memory" - it's not literally true, but memorizing in an associated form builds up so many cues that it's worth applying to any study: do warm-ups and repetitions, speak, move, and think in sync.

"They’re not able to focus on the high-intensity work" That is true. most 30 and over people with work experience know devoting 9-12 hours a day to a company is not worth it. While, a young engineer right out of college doesn't know any better. Burn them out after 2-3 years. rinse and repeat.

The main problem is employees are "at-will." Meaning they can be fired at anytime without reason. companies have no incentive to not overwork employees. Laws regarding "at-will" need to be changed
I'm about to launch an API that uses Cloud Functions for the entire app (it's a pretty simple API anyway). I know that Cloud Run gives me more features (being based on containers and all), but given that my API already runs on Cloud Functions, would I get any performance benefits by moving to Cloud Run?
Five years is a long time in a world where front end frameworks seem to change every six months ;)

Kidding aside, how would you suggest we re-phrase this to make it clear that we think that arbitrary Docker containers + conformance to the Knative spec (which you can run anywhere) is a clear differentiator?
Top highlights:

> 11% of our respondents said they didn't want to communicate with their fellow human beings via either method [face-to-face conversations or online chat]

and

> The aspects of Stack Overflow that respondents would like to change exhibit differences across demographic groups. For example, developers who are men are more likely to want change in official site rules (from the algorithms behind them to how they are enforced), while developers who are women are more likely to want to change norms for communication on our site.

The top words used by women to describe SO's problems include "condescending", "rude", "assholes".

This works if you're selling a $20 IoT device and need a cloud access. This doesn't cover all development, though. There are still industries that need people with domain knowledge and experience. You may not make FAANG money, but you won't lose your job on your 30th birthday, either.
> FAA only cares about safety

not true. Try flying a cessna into JFK. Apparently ATC just circle you over the atlantic until they "find time to fit you in". private pilot paid his taxes and "has every right to use the facility", but if you actually try it, you'll have a bad time.
We talked about that fact, but being in a position changing careers ... not sure what the long term outcome might be.
Modern aviation is characterized by huge networks of sensors as most flight management systems are, in fact, compute driven and, since they are real time, higher compute power reduces latency. Clearly, this version of the Boeing 737 was produced with cost containment as the first priority.
A more apt comparison is probably 1999's Tokyo Bus Guide for Dreamcast. The developers of both games were probably aware of each other.

Similar issues here a while back, now when I find a show like dj sets from Miami or Vegas on youtube I immediately look for comments that show the tracklist, or majority of it. Those who post those in comments are so helpful. I've copy pasted several.

Now I need a script to suck in all the tracks I've checked with shazaam, and tracklists I've copy pasted into notepad, and bookmarked via chrome and liked on di.fm combine them, then spit out a spreadsheet showing cost to buy single mp3s and associated albums. I would buy much more music and have is accessible when mobile more often.

Right, I didn't mean to say that they've made it totally impossible, but that the form factor they're trying to push as the "next thing," wireless audio, is not actually a replacement for that use case ("successor product" refers to wireless headphones, not newer iPhone generations).

Monotype launches the first redesign of Helvetica in 35 years
It's very possible that the parent commenter did just that. I know it's true in my case, as a CMU grad a plurality of my college friends moved to SF right after college. It was a new city for most of us, and nearly a decade later the majority of my local social network are still friends from school.

At this point I would be somewhat saddened to move away from a network I've been building for ~15 years.
I think there's some nuance here that you may be discounting. There's a difference between "the appearance of flexibility" and actual flexibility. GCP's OSS friendliness and integration is legitimately a competitive advantage, but it also is being designed explicitly to avoid a need for lock-in. The cloud market is so enormous it's not necessary for Google to create explicit bias and technical stickiness in these core products.

On the other hand, where you do get potential stickiness are in the differentiated managed service offerings Google Cloud offers. These range broadly, from industry solutions & APIs to AI/ML services, to more more core data products (Spanner, Dataproc, BigQuery).

The second set of products/services don't really have any bearing on the OSS strategy and is unfair to position Google as being intentionally disingenuous in the marketing.
"It fits" is a really really low standard to believe something.
There was a european heat wave in 2003 that killed thousands a day and 70,000 total[1]. If 70K people in the US died from a single large climate change induced event change, people might start to talk.

Yes, it needs to be specified upfront.

In principle advertising is fine. Telling people that a product exists is useful. "Do you need a hat shaped exactly like a golf ball? At Dave's Golf Ball Hats we sell six sizes!". Targeting this advert to most likely be seen by people who actually had been thinking of buying a hat shaped like sporting equipment is still a good idea too.

But an advert that steals from you, or harms you is neither of those things. Google Ads doesn't need those to be profitable. It would suit them if those went away.
I switched from Python to Ruby because I wanted make my own hobby website and Ruby on Rails looked great. And 14 years later, my website has long gone, but I still use and love Ruby for all my scripting needs while my Python skills have faded.

And it's a real problem when I want to do hobby signal processing or deep learning stuff.

Python has won that segment of the market and I better get with the program.

Thank you for posting the actual link - that is helpful. From that link:

"Survey results show that 71% of respondents were living in San Francisco when they became homeless, and of those, 49% had been living in San Francisco for 10 years or more."

This sheds very little additional information. This statistic is often presented as if 71% of the homeless had their own apartment before they became homeless, but for all I know (and what I suspect) is that many of these people were "housed" in very tenuous, precarious situations that I might, personally, find indistinguishable from homelessness. We really need to know the specific definition of "housed" used in this survey.

That 49% of those 71% were physically present in SF for 10 years or more also tells us very little. I am led to believe that homelessness and the mental illness(es) that lead to it are cycles and that people fall in and out of ... the statistic, however, is presented as if individuals were happily housed in a plain old apartment for 10+ years before lightning struck and they were suddenly strung out on the street...
Does the Cloud Functions solution meet your current performance requirements? If so, don't worry about moving it.

The main benefits you'd see immediately are toolchain (e.g. Docker containers, existing build systems, etc.).
C is interesting as a language in being almost completely dependent on the system in which it is embedded. Many other languages are expected to provide facilities to the programmers which c leaves to the operating system. The result is that c is a very simple language, and very little discussion is needed regarding the particulars of the language. The communities using c that form tend instead to focus on the systems in use. You will find separate communities using c for kernel programming, embedded systems, and for higher level programs. If you are looking for a community then you should identify what you would like to do with c, and find a community specific to that.
I've literally made that exact journey and I don't remember it being that hard to decipher. It's not confusing just because multiple lines go from A to B. You can clearly see that all those lines are equivalent between those two points
Could we make Javascript optional as well while we're at it?

"This site tries to run Javascript. Normal news sites shouldn't need this.

[Allow this session] [Allow 5 seconds] [Deny]"

I'd be particularily interested in the second option since it would allow us to use sites that depend on JS for content while they roll back the craziness that is depending on scripting to show static content.

While I'm at it:

I want badges!

- Certified Javascript free page (Platinum)

- Certified progressive site, no dependence on Javascript, no long running background scripts (Gold)

- etc

Obviously I'm exaggerating the implementations here but I'm serious about the idea.

(And yes, I earn good money on frontend work, I just think it often makes solutions worse.)
Integration into GCP console sounds interesting, but a cloud-native Apache Kafka service has already been available for more than three years with enterprise SLAs, elasticity and access to an ecosystem of Kafka & other open source tooling.

I was probably typing in a program that was written in assembly language, and then the bytes were output so that I didn't have to type in the assembly code (which would be even more keystrokes with only limited additional ability to understand, not to mention everybody has BASIC, assemblers were rarer).

I was doing this on an Atari 400. There was plenty of power available from BASIC to get at the graphics and sound, but there wasn't the speed. BASIC was an interpreted language and so you had to drop to assembly to get enough speed for a large program to not feel slow.
"First generation"? Archetypal?
Netlify Dev also includes support for accessing FaunaDB GraphQL Cloud, launched in beta today (https://fauna.com/blog/getting-started-with-graphql-part-1-i...).

We are working on adding support for a 100% local development workflow in Netlify Dev. It would be lovely to know what you think is missing from stateful local workflows in both Zeit and Netlify.
Ideally if I had any say in the matter, I'd also choose to continue the upgrades. I'm unfortunately not in a position to be able to make decisions for the company, or even team really.

The culture for us leads to more problems imo. Tests aren't required. We have > 100 legacy applications (most C#, but some java). I'm currently working on porting a webapp developed 5 years ago, written on jdk6 (I think) using Hibernate 4.x.y, to java 11. There's no tests for the webapp. The majority of the code was written by contractors. I've removed hundreds (if not 1-2 thousand) of lines of commented out or dead code before I even started refactoring. In this case, which I agree is probably an outlier, updating takes too long. Or maybe I'm too inexperienced.

In my managers eyes, they see how long it's taking to migrate to JDK 11, and they don't want that for every new "major release" (12, 13, etc)
It has a few bugs to iron out.

I did a test to https://trusting-heisenberg-a82012.netlify.com/ and I get "Page Not Found

The standard narrative is that Goobergrape tarnished Kotaku's reputation through organized hate campaigns because they are literal womanhating fascists or whatever. The truth is a bit more complex.

* Game journalists are often shit-tier journalists who cover games as part of paying their dues and building their portfolio so they can advance one step closer to their dream: covering Hollywood, or writing for The New Yorker or something

* Game journalists are often shit-tier gamers; if so, it's usually because they have little interest in the medium for its own merits. As a result, their writing tends to focus less on a game's merits as a game, and more on either needless politicking or fitting the game into a Procrustean bed of contemporary art. A great way to impress Kotaku, for instance, is to make a Duchampean un-game whose goals undermine the goals we normally associate with games in the name of making a Statement (remember, art is anti-kitsch). It will be unfun for the player, and will probably not sell well, but the likes of Kotaku will eat it up. We've seen this in the game journalist who couldn't cear the tutorial level of Cuphead, and the recent outcry from game journalists to add an easy mode to Sekiro to allow them to "experience" the game when for a From Software game, the difficulty IS the game experience.

* Game journalism sites are incestuously tied to game publishers. This is "access journalism". In exchange for the concession of early access to the latest games and other products, these news outlets agree to provide positive coverage only. A similar arrangement exists for Hollywood journalism. These outlets will tend to praise the studios that give them access and punish the studios that cater to actual gamers rather than gaming journalism.

There's probably more to it than this, but one thing I know: Gamergate wasn't responsible for Univision's decision to sell off Kotaku and the other Gawker/Gizmodo properties into private equity at a considerable loss.
Yes, you could do all of that or just sign up for a Netlify account, create a site, add your shared key and hit "git push". SSL, CDN, etc. all included.

You cannot legally sell a VPN without lawful intercept capabilities in China.
