Actually if you're in the EU you have more rights (but may have a hard time enforcing them).

Data collection, according to the GDPR, requires a reason. If I have a Facebook account you're in a relationshio with the company and so they can argue that you agree to providing your data (it's all there in the 12000, or so, "User Agreement".

If you do not use Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp you are not in a business relationship with the company and they have no right to collect and store your data.

I have a feeling that there's a very nasty legal fight with the EU brewing here in a few years time.
No. I'm saying when your application language is also your database or your operating environment [or for some other reasons], you don't need a configuration format.

The reason configuration file [formats] exist is because many programs are configurable and programmers are too lazy (or are not specified to, take your pick) to build a configuration tool [that has all their needs]. Configuration files are inferior in every way to an integrated and well-thought-out configuration process except that they may be easier to build and use in less ideal environments.

JSON is a fine format for interchange, and even persistence (i.e. to store configuration) but as a "configuration file" that people are expected to edit in their own way it is lacking, and that's why there are things like YAML and TOML and a million other things.

// The article tries to challenge the 10000 hours rule, but fails to provide details or numbers that suggest what other factors would be more important.

As per the article, one of the author Macnamara claims that a complex combination of environmental factors, genetic factors and their interactions explains the performance differences across people. I couldn't access the original paper, however it would be interesting to see how they establish this claim. Also, based on the guardian article, the refutation seems to be targeted at a strawman since the original 1993 paper never claimed that mere repetition was not sufficient.

"Nonetheless, Bryan and Harter (1897, 1899) had clearly shown that with mere repetition, improvement of performance was often arrested at less than maximal levels, and further improvement required effortful reorganization of the skill"[1]

Even if the authors had considered only deliberate practice, it would be quite difficult to measure the nature of a practice.

> CVE-2011-1720 and CVE-2008-2936 are examples of postfix vulns no one has found, or reasonably expects to find, in djb code.

CVE-2011-1720 is related to SMTP authentication which qmail doesn't support out-of-the box. So. Yes you're right: You don't find that vulnerability in qmail because qmail doesn't have that feature.

Can you run an SMTP server without authentication these days? Not if you have users using you as a relay. So I guess you have to custom patch qmail and now you're back to not running djb code in the first place.

CVE-2008-2936 I grant you. Though once we are at doing hardlinks to symlinks, we might hit other edge-cases too, some might even affect qmail in some way.

Pyramid is the best of all of these if you don't need async.

Look at, for example, the best of all the flask tutorials of all time, Miguel Greenberg. He still has to create a ton of the boilerplate and then restructure the app half way through.

Pyramid is the goldilocks of frameworks: Just enough to get you going without insanity, and not too much to bog you down.

Here's the real truth: If you're going to build anything nontrivial, you need a ton of stuff that Flask doesn't give you, and the packages that are easy to install and add to your project are mostly anti-pattern.

If you are going to build something nontrivial with Django, you're going to have to tear out large parts of it and redo stuff.

Pyramid is the best balance. The WebSauna team si doing some amazing stuff, and I'm working on something similar that's a little more lightweight. Pyramid is a very active ecosystem. Just a little less exciting because we have some conceptual relationships with Pylons.

If you need async or websockets, I use starlette/fast-api for endpoints that get hit from my mako templates.

I'll make a point about technological complexity. It's not necessarily a uniform good. Financial engineering enabled by computers has allowed the finance industry (spit) to grow threefold in 40 years. That's of course very nice for people in that industry. For instance the finance code monkeys that are angry and downv0ting you have done extremely well.

A point, remove computers and computer machinery and the finance industry from US GDP and growth is zero to negative over those same 40 years. So that complexity has enable a large transfer of wealth from the productive parts of the economy to finance. But the total benefit is negative. And for some sectors massively so.

No, that's not what is going on with Netflix and AWS.

Netflix stores metadata in AWS, and uses their OpenCDN for streaming traffic.

The metadata servers can autoscale, but not enough to call it elastic since it's not correlated with end-user requests.

They don't think so, which is why after a 5-day outage they moved to AWS in the first place.

It’s too bad you were down-voted. Your skepticism is pretty reasonable.

> What are the desirable properties of Jet?

Pretty much the only desirable property is that it used to be the Matlab default, and therefore has been used frequently and people are familiar with it.

Taking it as a starting point for a design is quite a poor choice. The design process here is pretty much just “we took jet and applied some blur to the apparent lightness”; this is not a principled or careful method, in my opinion.

One good use for this new color map might be: “My ignorant boss keeps insisting on using the jet color map even though it is terrible. I can drop this one in and he won’t notice the difference but it will be somewhat better, even if still problematical in many ways.”

> Why would anyone want low-to-high-to-low colormap?

This is sometimes called a “diverging” color map, and can be useful when e.g. you want to make choropleth map highlighting percentage of voters for Party A vs. Party B. You can make a 1/2:1/2 split of voters light and neutrally colored, and make the color get darker but with two different hues as the proportion gets more lopsided in favor of one party or the other.

But the lightness map on each side should still be more or less linear, and the obvious visual artifact created for the balance point has some concrete meaning.

Bones are not left whole in sky burials. They are ground up manually and mixed with tsampa (roast barley flour) so that vultures can consume them easily.
The with-solved-problem macro shows how (in this case, I think termed "unhygienic") Lisp macros allow fancy stuff with the code-is-data approach.

The first argument seems to be a normal Lisp expression, with no special syntax, and the second argument has the solution variable and all the variables mentioned in the expression bound to (the solution object, the values of the variables in the solution it found).

This approach is obviously available for everything. You can just use fully-flexible S-Expressions as essentially function arguments, and the function can modify the variables / identifiers in scope during execution of it's arguments.

>Currently, it favors extremism eg try to get the nomination in primaries saying another side is actually ok.

This is just flat out wrong, and I think you might be conflating what could be interpreted as a "purity spiral" on the left right now as "normal". It is most certainly not normal. The 2016 Dems nominated the most centrist candidate in a generation (at least), and Trump managed to win the general by essentially playing the game better in the Electoral College. Even if I accepted your premise for a moment (I don't, in reality) that ranked-choice voting actually pushes candidates into aligning with each other ideologically, to the extent it makes them less detested by their ostensible political opponents, it is not at all clear that this is an optimum outcome. Especially in times of political turmoil - and I don't think it's controversial to suggest that we are in one right now a la the 1970s - a "regression to the mean" of choice in political candidates seems to be the exact opposite of a good idea. That just spells "status quo" for electoral outcomes, and would cause many (or most) to lose faith in the political system all together.
I love the fact they blame an animal nest...

No... The cause will have been overheating of the 'optimizer' (MPPT tracker which outputs a fixed voltage) when it failed to a high impedance state, probably due to water incursion. The fire will have happened on a sunny day, because it's the energy from the other panels which starts the fire.

Tesla really should have made more parts of the system non-flammable. Then the story would simply be that this guy's system stopped working (or even 1 panel out of 16 stopped working, so output was slightly reduced)
> making it easier to compare/contrast small differences

Unless they happen to be near the middle of the data range, at which point it becomes much harder to compare them. This makes an artificial (not from the data) visual artifact for the entire middle part of the data range.

Also visual contrast for data at one part of the data range is no longer remotely comparable to visual contrast for other parts of the data range. Finally, amount of perceived contrast is no longer proportional to differences in the data.

* * *

The specific comparisons done are misleading: they picked a test image with important low-contrast detail at one end of the data range and no important low-contrast detail near the middle of the data range, because they are promoting their color map which has very dramatic lightness contrast at the ends of the data range at the expense of almost no lightness contrast near the middle of the data range.

If you were expecting to be working with data like this frequently there are many other things you could do to improve contrast in the part of the data you are specifically interested in.

Terrifying. Could it be that stress caused the Streptococcus pyogenes infection? It would be the most sensible explanation.

Aside of the fact that I doubt your "most people" assertion here, it's beside the point that I was trying to make which is that a CVE affecting a feature of Postfix that qmail doesn't have to begin with is not a fair mark against postfix.

Because if you disable a feature you don't use, you won't be affected by the vulnerability.

If you use smtp authentication, you're not running djb's code and all advantages of djb's code are moot. If you don't use smtp authentication then that CVE is inconsequential and you can't count it as a black mark against Postfix with regards to the security of your specific setup.

This is the table of thresholds for associate professorship ("II Fascia") and full professorship ("I Fascia"):
http://abilitazione.miur.it/public/documenti/2018/Tabelle_Va...
"Numero articoli" is "number of papers", "Numero citazioni" is "number of citations", and "Indice H" is "h-index". The thresholds are different for each research area (e.g., "INFORMATICA" is "computer science").

The topic is actually a little bit more complex, since looking at the metrics is only one step of the process.
