If you studied the history of finance. Financial instruments are invented adhoc. They are not made or created as part of a grand design.

For example the theory on how banking came about or how we use paper cash to represent wealth was literally an organic concept that slowly came to be over time. People needed to store grain, so someone formed a grain storage business that gave out paper certificates as proof of storage... people started trading those certificates as if it was cash... the storage business owner realized he could just print out those certificates and loan it out... hence the creation of banking and loaning...

That's the basic idea behind how banking formed organically. It is complex not by design but by evolution.

If you studied machine learning and genetic algorithms you'll know that natural selection and random walk does not always lead to the most optimal minimum and your walk will spend a lot of time wandering the entire space of possibilities before converging on a possible sub optimal solution. Finance is such a walk. Random designs eliminated by natural selection. We are more than likely in the middle of this random walk heading towards a solution that like all of our software is more than likely a sub optimal minimum.

Nobody needs to understand finance completely to know this. They just need an understanding of the properties of the real world in general. Finance IS overly complex you and I don't need to be experts in finance to know this.
Especially considering Django powers Instagram and Pinterest's backends.

At some point, Python's creator Guido van Rossum also said "My personal favorite -- and I expect that that will remain a personal favorite for a long time -- is something named Django. ... I highly recommend it."

Personally, I use Django with REST Framework (https://www.django-rest-framework.org). I've enjoyed using it tremendously for the past few years.

One important feature Django lacks right now is asyncio support. There are plans to add it though (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers/Kw...). Hopefully that happens soon.

A bit sensationalist, because you can make the same argument for all other states which have produced legislation around the legal limit of THC in hemp. Most states are drawing from the federal legislation which denotes a limit of 0.3% of delta-9 THC. Testing is not expensive though it's not cheap (it's $200 in Oregon)[1]. I believe prosecutors are just complaining cause it makes their job harder. The price of testing will continue to come down, in fact there's a YCombinator company in the latest batch that has developed another testing method for field tests.

That said, I hope this leads to all states decriminalizing or fully legalizing marijuana. Regardless, when conservative grandparents are using and promoting CBD it is clear that hemp is here to stay.

Edit: There is some nuance to this [2]

Business Score seems pretty interesting - I can only count the times I've tried to figure out if a business is reputable or not, especially overseas where I don't know where to look for reviews (or they might be in another language anyways)

Wren also seems pretty cool as an employee perk, I notice almost every airline I book with online lets me offset carbon emissions in some way but it would be nice to have an integrated service that does it semi-automatically

Revercare also makes a lot of sense to me, my parents are still working and doing well but I can imagine in a few years there are hard conversations to be had and things I just wouldn't even know to ask about and do and it'd be good to have a source of truth on everything surrounding that

As an indication that this is a hard problem to solve, remember that these papers have usually gone through peer review anonymised. They cite "Smith & Jones 1982", but it might not be obvious from the writing that they are either Smith or Jones.
Bribery would be giving money to the politician, yes? Citizens United doesn't address such contributions.
Well put.

it a reinforcing self-cycle. Rich people used to rule the world. Then we created democracy. Now rich people manipulate democracy from the inside. They define what is acceptable and what is not by owning prestigious schools, selectively funding research, and selectively funding ventures that re-inforce this self-importance.

You need money to make money. Being smart has nothing todo with it. An idiot with a billion dollars is going to make more money in shorter time then the most acedemic investor with $1 to their name.

Yeah, and the cool thing about being able to write your own debugger, you can have domain specific debuggers or debuggers that put the application in the debug state and phone home giving the eng a chance to capture the error and handle it.

Lua has a similarly powerful debug hook mechanism. Being able to debug the system from within itself is an amazingly powerful feature.

Only reason I use Bitbucket is because of Mercurial. I guess that's what you get for using centralized services. The funny thing is that both Git and Mercurial was designed to be decentralized! But we humans are social creatures, and Github is like Facebook for invert's - instead of posting pictures of your acquaintance you post your software projects. Stars are the likes ... So in order to fully decentralize, the human/social bit also need to be decentralized. But there is also the convenience, while setting up Git and Mercurial hosted repositories is straightforward, I can understand why dev's choose to use a service instead, especially when it's free.

At the same time I received another offer working as ReactJS developer, which is my top choice. I am in dilemma now, I am afraid working as Outsystems is going to bring down my career. What should I do? Need experienced ones to give me advise.

I imagine it's not just the money, but also loss of trust in this particular person (Ito) for making the choices they did and not being up front about them at the time. Once you can't depend on the people you need to trust to be trustworthy, it's time to go.

A good coherent principle is "if everyone knew about this, what would happen?"...
Stoics would encourage all of us to internalize our own mortality, not for morbidity’s sake, but because it helps live in the moment. The wake up call stories like this should be simulated by everyone. Imagine if this were you? Live with a fraction of that pain in your heart and try to internalize it. How does it impact our choices? Things like fingers and walking become amazing. I am always happy people share their stories, it helps us all remember our mortality and make good choices every day. Also, I wish the author a speedy and continued recovery in their journey.

Can you revise that "9" number, because looking at it I feel like some of those are inappropriately filed against postfix.

I find it hard to pin a "postfixadmin" CVE on postfix, are we going to blame vmailmgr bugs on qmail? :-) The BSDDB one I'm on the fence about. "postfix_groups.pl" is marked as disputed. Another seems to be clearly a Debian package issue.

CVE-2011-0411 is interesting because, IIRC, qmail had no SSL/TLS abilities, and the hacks you had to put into place to enable it were abominations and likely opened up issues of their own.

Julia v1.2 has been released
I'm not a lawyer. Lawyers disagree on this subject. Seeing as how that quote is part of a case that predates the amendment, it's not at all clear to me what if any bearing it has. I'm guessing this is one of the many, many areas of law where the only way to find out if it's constitutional with any degree of certainty is to pass the law and see what the Supreme Court says.
Nobody is cutting off anything.

And algebra itself is one of those real things that calculus helps to explain!

Take, for instance, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, where the proof in terms of elementary complex analysis and/or topology closely related to complex analysis make the truth of the theorem geometrically obvious, the (mostly) algebraic proofs I've seen leave me with little more than the desire to re-check the proof, because I'm not at all certain that something equivalent to the F.T.A. hasn't been implicitly assumed at some point in the proof.

Now it may be "just me" — I've always had an easier time following analytical proofs than abstract algebraic ones — but just thinking of the necessary prerequisites — homotopy between maps defined by complex polynomials vs. what? Galois theory? — I don't think it's just me.

Incidentally, complex numbers are another case where, as with the irrationals, a poorly-chosen name has made simple and quite generally useful ideas seem esoteric to those not already familiar with the subject.
What is a hardcore postmodern leftist? You don’t believe in objective truth but make claims as if it exists?
Just a count of CVE, while interesting, I think misses calibrating by how much attention each has gotten. Given its popularity I'd assume much more security research and testing on postfix.
You sound like you know quite a bit about org-mode. I recently started using emacs again and want to also give org-mode another shot.

IIRC last time I gave up on using org-mode for todos/notes because the experience on Windows wasn't as nice as on Mac (Mac for work, Windows at home).

Orgzly is good enough for Android imo. Do you have any experience with emacs+org on Windows, and any tips if you do?

I'm also curious about your kanban example. What are CR 1/2/3/..? Are they some sort of tag, or just the name of that item? Would you just move (refile?) a task from CR 1 to CR 2 for example?

Last question - do you use one instance of emacs for both notes/tasks and regular code editing? I enjoy reading examples of other peoples workflows because it helps me realize what I didn't know I could be doing better.
>I'll give hg the benefit of the doubt that it eventually got better

It did not. We had a giant hg monorepo at Yandex, and even mere "hg id" took ages (and required net access to source repository for some reason). The plan was to eventually switch to it from SVN, not sure if they eventually did because I left the company.
Considering the npm corporation had layoffs[0], and how they haven't merged any PRs from outside sources in a while (this may have changed, but here's an example[1]), They might not be stoked to reduce the friction of linking to other package repositories from withing package.json.

They're worthy of tipping because they get paid shit-all.

As you say, the actual answer here is tightening minimum wage laws so that they're actually effective, but given the state of DC these days I'm not holding out hope.

So I tip.
I'm a web developer (React / Node.js) and I bought the first edition of this book (it was called Mastering PostgreSQL in Application Development then). I can say that it really changed the way I approach building apps. I definitely lean on the database a lot more now. No more "models", ORMs / query builders, and crunching data in app code. Just build your schema, write plain sql queries, and you're off to the races. As a bonus, I'm also much more comfortable with Postgres' built in command line tool, psql.

The scope of the book is pretty broad. You'll cover psql setup, a little relational theory, some nuts and bolts about the inner workings of Postgres, indexing strategy, data types, aggregates, window functions, common table expressions, etc. Given the scope, it's difficult to cover everything in depth, so I'd treat this book as more of an introduction to what's possible.

Highly recommended.
Reading this was traumatic. I’ll now be afraid to go into the forest in shorts or sandals or walk barefoot in the grass.

But how did I survive until now?
The point is that it's not your Git repo, usually, when talking of dependencies, so it's not really about what you want.

SHAs can't be changed, but they can be deleted. And on GitHub, entire projects, usernames, orgs can be deleted. Or renamed. In case of a user rename, GitHub does maintain redirects for awhile. Until that username is taken by somebody else.
AWS Elastic Beanstalk supports Python, and I’ve had a Flask app hosted there for several years now. Two or three easily-fixed gotchas aside, it works great.

The Emerging Dangers of Vaping
> Today we are happy to introduce Turbo, a new colormap that has the desirable properties of Jet while also addressing some of its shortcomings, such as false detail, banding and color blindness ambiguity.

What are the desirable properties of Jet? Why not use Viridis or Magma or any of the recent linear colormaps from matplotlib 2.0? These shortcomings were the exact reason why Viridis was created as exemplified in this brilliant talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAoljeRJ3lU

I don't understand the point of Turbo.

> Turbo mimics the lightness profile of Jet, going from low to high back down to low, without banding. As such, its lightness slope is generally double that of Viridis, allowing subtle changes to be more easily seen. This is a valuable feature, since it greatly enhances detail when color can be used to disambiguate the low and high ends.

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

> Viridis is a linear color map that is generally recommended when false color is needed because it is pleasant to the eye and it fixes most issues with Jet. Inferno has the same linear properties of Viridis, but is higher contrast, making it better for picking out detail. However, some feel that it can be harsh on the eyes. While this isn’t a concern for publishing, it does affect people’s choice when they must spend extended periods examining visualizations.

Personal taste vs scientific accuracy - I will take the latter unless we are doing plots for marketing materials. In my view this is not substantiated reason for going off and creating a more pleasant version of Jet; Turbo is still inaccurate and deceiving.

This is a deplorable attempt at creating a new colormap where the problem statement isn't clear in the first place.

The moment you start patching qmail you're not running qmail any more. None of the CVE numbers are meaningful to your custom-patched qmail.

qmail was good when you could use it in its default configuration. Unfortunately, very few sites could (much less still can).

Which brings us to the question of who you trust more: The maintainers of a full-featured MTA who have maintained their software for 20 years or some person's patches to scratch their itch before moving on and never touching it again?
I'm not the OP but I have an answer. Here me out, I'll start off with some seemingly irrelevant details than bring the whole thing full circle. I start off with a system that is even more complex than finance: Nature.

Nature is complex due to natural selection. Random mutations occur and nature selects the mutations that aid with survival. If you iterate over this process over a long period of time you can have systems that are incredibly complex.

Note that natural selection can function at a higher level of abstraction as well. Not just at the biological level, but at the ecosystem level as well. Ecosystems that overload or are unbalanced are killed off. It's not a coincidence that most ecosystems still around in the world today are running in a steady state of equilibrium.

We can bring natural selection to an even higher level of abstraction and consider human civilization. Only the rules, cultures and behaviors that aid with the survival of the civilization live on to form even more complex systems of civilization. The global civilization that enshrouds the world today is the result of such evolution.

Which brings of full circle to FINANCE. The components rules and systems of finance are not some grand design deliberately created by an architect. The concepts you see today were formed organically and under the restrictions of natural selection.

Take banking. The theory is banking formed when people needed a place to store an abundant resource like grain. A business owner opened a grain shop and gave out paper certificates that represented grain storage. The certificates soon became so abundant that people basically began trading the certificates as cash, hence the formation of paper money. The storage owners realizing this now realize they can print these certificates out of thin air and loan it out to people. Hence the creation of loans and mortgages...

You can see how finance forms organically and the concepts that work continue to thrive while the systems that break are eliminated by natural selection.

Like biology over time this leads to more and more complex systems that somehow just work. This is the origin of complexity in finance. You will note that like biology such complexity is completely random and unnecessary like the platypus, the kiwi or the kangaroo. Finance is littered with things like the kangaroo.

Don't ask a finance guy why finance is complex. This question is better served to you by an anthropologist or a historian. The finance guy is concerned with how to out compete the other finance guy, he is not concerned with the how and the why behind the entire system.

A high temperature like 104, combined with pain, definitely warrants a doctor visit. Which doctor (GP, urgent care, ER/A&E)? Let the time, day, and how you feel be your guide.

In the case of one of my relatives, the result was confirmation they had the flu (and too late for Tamiflu or the like to be effective). In my case, it was intestinal perforation that (six months later) led to part of my large intestine being taken out.

Big congrats to this guy for getting through it.
Fair point, for me 'massively' would be an significant amount of time / confusion saved.

Whenever I want to go catch a bus at an overseas metro station, try find a shop in a unfamiliar mall, or even try find where a clients desk is in an unfamiliar building, that would be fantastic.

The a potential to generate a snapshot of a space indoors would be super handy. Maybe even for places without an address you could look at a timestamped point cloud like that and see which building to go to.

Democratizing capturing 3d space in a simple/user-friendly and cheap way would open up really interesting doors.
