I have used Django a lot for applications where front-end is server generated HTML page with templates. For REST API or GraphQL minimalist framework like CherryPy, flask, bottle and others combined with excellent Python libraries will work great even for a large modular app.

It is not true when you recommend don't use flask or bottle for large apps. On the contrary it will be good for large projects to use minimalist framework as they will act more like library. Also you can write code yourself for the parts in the system which outgrow the framework. My team has built large production level application for machine learning service initially in Django and then later ported completely to flask. Given we don't use templates and jinja2 as most of the front-end is in SPA, flask has been wonderful to work with. Django rest framework doesn't work that well when you just need to work directly with request/responses. Blueprints made it so easy to write large modular code that choice between monolith and micro-service, just a configuration setting coupled with either gunicorn or uwsgi in emperor mode.

All Python framework under the hood are WSGI or ASGI, so a decent Python programmer can use excellent marshmallow, sqlalchemy, alembic, celery and flask (or others) with blueprints to write a performant large modular application and a service layer.

There's only one state sanctioned lab capable of showing "percentage" versus "some thc is present". The costs and wait are prohibitive relative to a misdemeanor charge.

In my case, I'm waiting for EntityFramework to catch up before switching most legacy applications over.

I've been using standard 2.0 for new projects since it became available and building for dual deployment, either with Heroku or as a Windows service.

There's definitely a crowd of .net devs that doesn't care. They're probably not the ones on HN though. I've been holding my breathe waiting for all the libraries to catch up. We're so close!

I actually moved to .NET by choice for the Nemerle language a long time ago (C# mostly caught up, so I switched over). I might not be representative of everyone, but there's at least a subset of developers eagerly waiting on some small thing which will let them make the jump.
I'd be more receptive to this argument if the IRS was giving normal taxpayers some sort of easy file card. Since when is the IRS supposed to care what taxpayers pay to comply?

The Browser Monopoly
I am reminded of the ironic irrationality of ancient thinking insisting that rational numbers numbers must exist with things like Pythagoreans murdering over it - apocryphal admittedly. But the same pattern appears for other numbers and systems like the complex and imaginary and non-euclidian geometry which caused "rational" people to be filled with such rage.

It is an interesting pattern that anyone who insists upon their "rational" or "sane" systems in the face of reality tends to actually deeply unhinged.
> No more "models", ORMs / query builders, and crunching data in app code

I think you've overstepping there. I definitely think it's great if not essential to understand the underpinnings of your RDBMS and how to actually use it, but an ORM is a really useful tool. It keeps a lot of crap from reaching your database (incorrectly cast data, malicious input, etc) and hands you back a format that is easy and logical to work with, as well as managing schema changes for you without destroying your whole database.

If your ORM won't let you do your number-crunching in-database, it's a shitty ORM. You were right to throw it straight into the ocean... But mine does.

Again, I'm not in any way suggesting you shouldn't know SQL —it's great to be able to understand what your ORM is doing, allowing you to improve it— so this book sounds essential for us Postgres lifers... But don't insist on walking everywhere because your car broke down. Buy a better car.
The idea that ROMs from questionable sources make your device safer sounds very strange to me.

"questionable" according to who? The authoritarian companies and the whole "security" movement behind it, whose primary purpose is to turn the population into a mindless flock of consuming sheep that they can manipulate easily to extract profit...

The Android modding community is definitely not stupid, anyone who tries to deceive will soon be outed and ostracised. A lot of its members aren't all that smart; but it only takes one to find out and post proof.

I'd love to have it explained to me. To me he's like a more palatable Alex Jones.
Currently it is just another language - for me one of the real compelling cases of working with .NET was the absolutely god-tier integration of tooling for creation UI kits (that is aside from the very good case that C# is a language that is superior to anything else I've professionally worked with, that's not an argument that will sway anyone). Such an argument doesn't exist for .NET core, because it suffers from the same problem as every other contender: Creating a cross-platform GUI is an absolute cancer and is by far the biggest problem you'll have writing code. That being the case, why switch?
Sense Theory
Cognitive processes of human brain are strongly tied to such a well-known part of the brain as cortex. All psychological, logical or illogical solutions made by a human being are the result of the cortex.Thus, the maximum approximation of mathematical theory to the processes of the cortex can become a good trampoline to the creation of a self-learning intellectual system, a Real Artificial Intelligence.
We propose a new concept of mathematical theory which gives a possibility to form, find and separate senses of two or more objects of different nature.The theory encompasses the knowledge of cybernetics, linguistics, neurobiology, and classical mathematics.The Sense
Theory is not a part of traditional mathematics as we know it now, it is a new paradigm of how we can formalize complex cognitive processes of the human brain.

Sense Theory is primarily focused on practical software realization.

6. Having to be the one to explain to the boss that .NET Core exists in the first place
Commodore bought MOS, and managed to squeeze margins out of MOS that were essential to their ability to get the PET out as cheaply as they did.

Combine that with the Apple I and II, and the 6502 was a major player, and the 6800 didn't have any massively compelling benefits.

The 6809 did have benefits over the 6502, and did get some design wins, including Commodore's SuperPET (which bizarrely had both a 6809 and a 6502), but I think the 6809 was too late - on the low end cheap machines like the VIC-20 and then C64 completely trounced the 6809 based machines, and so it just didn't get enough mindshare, and just a few years later it was effectively too late for it to get any traction in the home computer market.

When I was young, I was trying to collect coins and marks, and it became annoying to me too soon.

If you receive an inheritance, what you will do - sell or save?

Your opinion is super valuable to me because my team and I are building a platform to make a whole industry faster and secure and transparent to anyone.

Artexpert is a mobile app and platform for arts and antique evaluations. With scientifical methodology at the backend, our mobile application can evaluate almost any item you can even imagine: vinyl record, painting, coin, or a car. Users are answering simple questions and based on answers our app is calculating the price of the item. More questions answered - more accurate evaluation will be.

On average, to get an evaluation user is spending less than 10 minutes by answering questions.

Application at publishing stage in Google Play Store and Apple App Store but you can ask for early access on our website - https://artexpert.io/

Yeah, pointing to the problem is quite easier than figuring out a solution.

My answer would be both. I highly doubt it's in hardware manufacturer's interest to figure out a technological solution, but if there's some legal incentive for them to at least try, they'll figure out a technological solution.

Sense Theory. Sense Function
The Sense Theory is not a part of traditionalmathematics. It is a new paradigm of how we can formalize complex cognitive processes of the human brain.
The basis of the theory is a sense functionwhich determines sense conformity between a set of objects or/and events and a single subject(described object/event).
The sense function has a series of unique properties that can help find associative connections between trillions different-type objects/events.By the function, we can investigate a whole process of forming a single sense of big data set of different business or scientific events.

Sense Function is primarily focused on practical realization.

How to fix errors in outlook rules
So, my impression, is many applications for AS/400 are written in RPG or COBOL, languages which in their AS/400 implementations treat "files" really no differently than they do on any other platform. Or, similarly, DB2/400 stores database tables as these single-level store objects underneath, but to a programmer writing SQL queries, it doesn't really make much difference – the experience is pretty similar to writing SQL queries for DB2 for z/OS, DB2 for LUW, or DB2 for VSE/VM (and what differences do exist are more due to the divergent code bases of the different products than due to the single-level store.)

I get the impression that S/38 and OS/400 have some really interesting concepts at the core of the OS, but it is questionable how well the higher levels layered on top leverage those concepts.

"Everything is an object" would be a lot more powerful if IBM let customers/ISVs define their own object types, when as far as I am aware they don't. Yet IBM will define dozens upon dozens of object types for all kinds of obscure requirements, many of which are no longer even relevant today [1][2].

.NET has already taken the world by storm if you consider actual usage. It powers software for the Fortune 500 and millions of small businesses. It lets you build desktop apps, websites, frontend SPAs (Blazor), mobile apps (Xamarin), backend services, and games (Unity).

There's no need to rewrite working .NET Framework apps, but .NET Core has seen massive uptake with cross-platform development and runtime, incredible performance, and interoperability with just about every other common open source languages and projects.
I think it's because he welcomes everyone on the show, and just lets them talk. He's pro-gun but had a former Marine and cop explaining why guns are terrible, for example.

In this case, there is a proof of stake utility token, buried deep in their docs, so it is a block chain.

None is their examples mention the token, which is a bit odd.
I'd argue this is largely a question of defaults and ergonomics.

Most users will leave the default settings if they don't have an active need to change them. Easily usable (and understandable) tools and interfaces prevent most needs from arising in the first place.

Concrete example: The root account on many Linux distros is disabled by default. I've never felt the need to enable it, because sudo does everything I need. Secure default, useful tools, unlockable system.

Historically we haven't had either of those things. Poor design and implementation led to bad choices by clueless users. The resulting mess is used as an excuse to restrict freedoms. The cure is arguably worse than the poison.

I'll take a stab. I'm not a "fan," but I do like to listen to him from time to time. He's ...

- Open to nearly any idea.

- (almost) Never talks down to the audience or his guest. Although the motivations are almost certainly different, this is a bit reminiscent of David Letterman always playing a bit of a fool. It's generally endearing to most people.

- Generally friendly and congenial.

In a world full of Joe Rogans, you wouldn't have very many good interviews. He's not adversarial, he's often not prone to, nor equipped to meaningfully disagree with a guest, and he's open to multiple, mutually contradictory opinions. But, the adversarial interview has gained in popularity for so long that it's become the norm. In this environment, he's a breath of fresh air. There really is a place for hearing someone lay out their views in a long, methodical way without being badgered every few minutes by an interviewer looking for a sound bite.
I would like to know:
Yes, it take really a lot of compute and time to train e.g BERT.
(probably 64 V100) and 3 days of training.
BUT once it is trained, and you want to use it on your application.
Inference time usually take a few ms, is it far longer with bert?
And does a modern smartphone can easily run such inference?
I've heard about mobilenets but they sacrifice too much accuracy, so I really hope BERT can be run today on a 7nm snapdragon + it's mini TPU.
I can't find such data on the web but this is an elementary question, necessary for complete success of Nlp.

Sorry but for training time, neural network deep learning is far from a "smart" paradigm.
It is essentially statistical brute force + a few clever math tricks.
This is a part of the answer on how to create an artificial general intelligence.
But where's is the research for creating a causal reasoning system understunding natural language?
It mostly died in the AI winter, and except a few hipsters like me or opencog or cyc, is dead.
I wonder how many decades will be needed for firms like Google to realize such an obvious thing (that real intelligence is statistical AND causal).

>The problem is finance is so unnecessarily complex I have no idea what's going on.

You're not wrong but you're not making any measurable claims. If you want to understand what complexity is "necessary" you should define necessary a bit better for the purpose of discussion. If necessary means "required for the individual stakeholders in the financial enterprise to achieve their goals" that is a productive starting point. If necessary means "required so people are happy" that is a quagmire.
