If you're writing a React or Django or Laravel or Rails app, then what you're doing is essentially work within that DSL which is quite different from the underlying Javascript/Python/PHP/Ruby language. The same goes for data analysis frameworks such as Pandas, or deep learning such as Tensorflow or Keras - if you're working in that most of your code and calls are going to be within that API/DSL, not "pure" Python. And I'd definitely consider all of the abovementioned as successes and a good thing - if Go would prevent people from writing their Web-CMS systems in a good Web-CMS framework/DSL, or writing their machine learning systems in a good ML framework/DSL, then that'd be a serious limitation.

And it's worth noting that many (all?) of these particular systems were actually initially made as custom DSLs for internal use within a single company - Rails for 37signals/Basecamp, Pandas for AQR Capital Management, Django for Lawrence Journal-World, Tensorflow by Google Brain, etc. They were the exact thing that you describe - a custom DSL invented for the business logic that the particular company needed repeatedly. And they were not a disaster but the right thing to do in their case - mostly because they had the ability to make a somewhat good DSL though in all those cases it was an 'okayish' DSL initially and became good only through years of substantial changes. Yes, for every such case there are many bad internal DSLs. "Not Invented Here" is a common problem. You need to ensure that you're using good DSLs, and good DSLs generally gain wide adoption within that domain instead of every company building their own shoddy DSL.

I've seen a bunch of nightmarish financial systems with horrible DSLs. However, even in that case the DSL problem was that this DSL was horrible not that a DSL shouldn't have been used - any fix or rewrite would generally require replacing it with a better DSL/framework/whole-encompassing-structural-API/whatever, instead of sticking to the core programming language (which would just result in another emergent "DSL" of some core libraries/classes, which would be lousy compared to something you intentionally design to be usable).
I also find it particularly galling that I can't even put my day pack in an overhead bin because of all the other people who already slowed down loading as they wrangle their roll-away and their backpack (and purse and jacket) onto the plane, who will drastically slow down exit the same way. I've had to waste more of my life waiting for them than in bag-check lines.

Picking up bags at the carousel is another matter. That can take significant time. That is a legitimate concern, even though I personally choose otherwise. I bought a decent bag and pack it properly, so I've never had a problem with damage (~30 trips and still going strong). I've had my bag delayed twice, once for more than a day. There are tradeoffs, but mostly I think people act selfishly by trying to save themselves a few bucks and a few minutes. It's a Prisoners' Dilemma kind of thing. Those are individually rational decisions, but when everyone makes the same decision it ends up being worse for everyone.

I think I need a higher level explanation.

Is the goal to tweak the rendering parameters until it matches a given input image? If yes that would be inference, not learning. What am I missing?
...which, sadly, is true of many larger organizations: "security" ends up as just another middle management approval committee whose only job is to apply byzantine security checklists dreamed up by some Certified Security Architect (tm) way too late in the development process, right when it's hardest for product teams to reshuffle their entire architecture to comply, and with no consideration to the actual circumstances / risk profile of specific projects.

IMHO this should be viewed as a big, glaring anti-pattern, as it fundamentally puts security team goals at odds with product team goals.
If you're using Firefox, and don't trust them not to collect data you don't want them to, then some "study mechanism" on/off switch isn't going to stop them.

If you don't trust them at least a little bit, you shouldn't be using their software full stop.

Still, latest version is fixed.

This shows that humans can learn languages and get motivated by mastering them. This does not tell anything about the consistency, composability or orthogonality if SQL. Those qualities affecting the newcomers effort to learn it.
Makes me think about Paulos. I read various books of him. He has an interesting view on the world as a mathematician.

Nice. Thanks.

Also for any Firefox Sync users, you can sync about:config preferences:

1. Open about:config

2. Right click > New (Bool)

3. Preference name = services.sync.prefs. + name of setting; true

eg: services.sync.prefs.media.autoplay.allow-muted

The more accurate phrase is "you never get more than you pay for". It's perfectly possible to burn a bunch of money and get squat for it.

It wasn't self-sabotaging. The first netbooks ran Linux and ran okay, at a time when Microsoft was about to EOL Windows XP and Vista absolutely wouldn't run on such devices. If they'd caught on, it could have spelled the end of Microsoft desktop hegemony. It prompted a panicked reaction of extending the service life of XP, while introducing restrictive licensing to pitiful 1024x600 displays (which fit the current crop, but restricted their growth). It was a classic "embrace/extinguish" response to an existential threat.
I can relate to this. I’m not from India but from that part of the world and have been in the same situation as the OP. Many companies who advertise them as ‘globally distributed’ are simply not willing to hire someone who does not have proper time zone overlap. Plus the logistical challenges involved makes them more reluctant.

Also, you have to keep in mind remote companies get more applicants per job posting than a non-remote one. Unless your application truly stands out it’s unlikely that you’ll get through the initial screening.

Is “om” a common abbreviation? This is the first time I’m seeing it, i understood, but still new to me. Sorry for the off topic question!
The Pacific Northwest is a poor example there, because as you indicate, the "cold" winter days in the densely populated areas are still pretty mild.

The Great Lakes region of the US (like Minnesota, where I live), and some parts of the Northeast, are places that experience considerably more ... 'Scandinavian' extremes of cold, and the houses are built to handle it.
Yeah, this is applicable only to devs, but well, there’s one less reason to buy a Mac :-(
If this repeats, well, one day Windows might be, well, not great, but ‘good enough’ for everyone, and the PC UX story won’t improve... :-(
It's very common for developers to mess up authentication. It requires a fundamental understanding of protocols. What makes it worse is that an incorrectly implemented protocol doesn't break the integration, it just breaks the security benefits.

A pen test mitigates that risk.
Wouldn't say fire, they're going to break the door down anyway, but something like a pipe burst or sewer backup, is also time sensitive but not life threatening and in that situation, you might be liable.

As a person who has been a fan of the Apple ecosystem, it’s sad to hear that the route Apple is taking to increase the number of Mac Apps is, well, basically lowering the bar :-(

Preferably Apple can open the private framework that the new MAS uses or one that the Photos app uses (actually Photos have similar problems; like drag&drop not working) but it is much better than Marzipan, which is similar to the situation of Electron :-(
I don't know how the job market is in the US but here nobody gets a long term contract anymore.
Yes I too want to have a steady job for 40 years with a nice pension plan. Sadly its 2019 not 1957.
Zune and zune subscription music were not half baked though. I used it for years. It was simply ahead of its time. Even jobs said subscription music would never be a thing because ppl want to own their music.
Renting a house isn't usually a problem, however there should be some safeguards in place,i.e. taxes that discourage excessive profiteering,etc. I remember working on this development( hundreds of flats)in London,where some Asian man walked passed, saw the building, went to the site office and said: I want to buy this block( at least 40 flats),I'll send the lawyers to sign the papers.The guy didn't even look inside. So he'd most likely end up renting the entire block.

I'm not talking about teaching programming to people who show up voluntarily in a computer science introductory programming course, but those who have a full-time job doing/studying something else and have to learn how to code, on the side.
Exactly this. The combination of selling a modeling strategy to higher ups, customizing a model for super weird deployment or resource limitations that exist for political or historical reasons, and all your standard trade-offs vs feature engineering and model selection just means that AutoML (and similar tools) has very little applicability in most product companies.

If you work in Google & you can remove the political blockers & guarantee the model’s space of deployed resources is parametrizable with a clean set of parameters that AutoML can consider as part of the optimization, then by all means use it.

That’s just decades away from being viable at any given product company.
Database IDs Have No Place in URIs (2008)
I've heard good things about OCaml, but it's extremely niche.
Right, and anyway, when you get some software, you should be able to fix/improve it yourself if you want to and need to, and redistribute the fix to other people who might be interested. You also should be able to study the software provided to you before running it if you want to.

Most people don't want to actually do that, but could anyway benefit from the inspection and fixes coming from third parties.

And when I buy some piece of hardware, I expect the manufacturer to fully support the device, as you said, when used the way it was intended to, but let me use it another way if I want to (which the reliance on closed binary blobs does not allow).

Moreover, it's time we consider it mandatory that the user has access to the code running on their device. People are not dumb. More and more, people want to know where their food come from and how it is produced. The same transparency should be obvious for what the computer do and how it is built.

If some things theoretically require the user not to see the code, maybe these things should not exist in the first place. "Oh, here is a product! But for your own good, you do not get to know how it works and what it does or does not do behind your back." This does not follow.

Maybe It's Time to Cut the Federal Government in Half
Road side tests are specifically designed so that the officer can write a report that makes it sound like you failed miserably even if you did perfectly and do so in a way that video/audio evidence does not directly contradict the written report. This is why every lawyer says to refuse the roadside test.

If the officer wants you to do a field sobriety test you tell them blood test or GTFO.

I started off in journalism just out of college in 2000. Even then, future prospects were pretty bleak. People with 10 years more experience than me (plus PhDs in comp lit) were basically deciding on comma placement. After two years, I fled the field for a completely unrelated discipline. Probably the best decision I ever made. All my friends from that time have struggled through multiple rounds of layoffs and most have eventually moved on. It's very sad because an active and well informed media is essential to a well functioning democracy. Right now the most viable model increasingly looks to be charity. I don't think this bodes well for governance, especially at the local level where journalism really has imploded.

Juries are most certainly not a universal part of the legal system. They are mostly found in the Anglosphere. Most European countries, for example, have a civil law system that typically does not feature a jury of peers.

Using React's Proxy to Get Ahead of CORS and Use HTTPS for API Calls
If you are referring to SMS based 2FA, then that is definitely an issue. If someone is able to hijack your phone number to receive the notifications, then you are going to be in trouble.

Token based 2FA is another story though... it definitely adds another layer of security to your passwords and amazon supports this format.

In the case of the OP's partner, my guess is that either they were phished into revealing their Amazon password or their password for Amazon was the same password used elsewhere and that source was hacked.
What? No, it's a typo.
Most regions have prescribed safety standards to meet, for instance the kitemark or the CE mark
(http://www.safekids.co.uk/toysafetymarks.html)[http://www.sa... show an item meets the regulatory safety requirements - these aren't added by stores, they are obtained by the manufacturer so that its products can be sold in stores across Britain and Europe.

Saying that the onus should be on stores is crazy, unless you accept that a company should have exclusive rights to your product at which point it become a licensed product and would probably be branded as such.
Well too be fair in the 1800s we really didn't know how poisonous a lot of those things were. Rich people ate off fancy dinnerware painted in lead.
VP9 is a Google project which competed with the MPEG-developed H.265. It’s not surprising that Apple implemented the format they contributed to and then jumped to the next generation format rather than spending time on an older format which never saw significant adoption.
This is already the case for mobile networks. Open source basebands are illegal. The best you can do is sequester your proprietary government-aproved co-processor as far as possible from your main processor, but most computers with such network adapters built-in aren't designed this way - they're designed to promiscuously share memory.
My two cents is there's still a lot of design patterns and methodologies to pick up on in MapReduce and distributed data architecture.

If we're including movement and integration, ETL/ELT, sharding, partitioning, etc in data engineering...?
In terms of cell count, yes. Not in terms of weight, or computation. :)
Fourteen College Credits in Three Weeks: What I’ve Learned
I highly doubt living in USA for 2 yrs neutalized your accent. How do you know for sure?
the term « boxing » was very often used before C# had proper generics, and the same goes for java when Object was used everywhere ( priori to generics). Then generics came in an everybody talked about type safety and performance gains. Then 10 years later horrendous over-complexified designs started to cripple code bases all over the world.

I honestly wonder if go isn’t cursed to follow the same road.
I'm also agonizing in disappointment.

>As an elderly Uber driver once commented to me... "What do we gain by connecting a smart watch to an internet-enabled coffee maker so I can avoid getting up to press a switch in the morning? Stay in bed and scroll Twitter?"

Huh. I use an internet-enabled coffee maker to make me coffee at the same time every morning, thereby giving me extra sleep. Extra sleep every morning is glorious and definitely worthwhile to me.

>> The NoSQL movement was born, in part, out of the frustration with the perceived stagnation and inadequacy of SQL databases.

Makes sense. If you are a rich person in Russia or Brazil you never know when things may go bad and having a safe house in Vancouver or London or Paris is a good idea.

At least that dirty cash does some good in Canada.

This article really isn't saying attention span is getting shorter ( or it's misunderstanding what "attention span" means ). It's that global interest timeframe is getting shorter ( aka how long a product or news is relevant is shrinking because we are getting more product, news, etc ).

"The authors evaluated a total of 43 billion tweets and analyzed the top 50 trending hashtags in the world every hour on the hour, from 2013 to 2016. They then calculated the time the hashtags remained popular and found that in 2013, a hashtag remained in the top 50 list for an average of 17.5 hours, but the figure had dropped to 11.9 hours by 2016."

This doesn't mean that attention span is shrinking. It just means that there are tons more tweets and hashtags in 2016 as there are in 2013.

Just like with movies, the article mentioned. It has nothing to do with "attention span" since Endgame is a 3 hour long film. It just means that the movie industry is producing a lot more movies/blockbusters and the time a blockbluster can stay at the top is limited because another blockbuster is bound to release soon after.

It's like in the past we only had the "classics" as college subjects. Now we have physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, etc. And the new subjects means that our attention span got shorter. Which is absurd.

I think human attention span got shorter, but the article isn't really arguing that or it isn't arguing it well. And I'm not sure if human attention span getting shorter is necessarily a bad thing. Why sit through commercials, intros and so much filler/fluff in most media? As long as you are able to concentrate on things that deserve concentration, nothing wrong with short attention span for fluff.

Government owns all money already. They create it, they destroy it, they own it. You can hold it for a while, but it's still government money.

I'm not making some philosophical point; I'm genuinely contending that money belongs to the government. There's nuance and discussion, but as broad statements go, I contend that "Money belongs to the government" is more accurate than "People own their money".
