I'm a .NET developer with 5 years of experience, mostly in the enterprise space. I've worked on large projects with .NET 3.5 - 4.7, and recently I've been building things in .NET core.

Honestly, .NET core makes a lot of sense for new projects that need to be highly scalable. If you have an API service that's hosted in a cloud provider, or a tool that generates PDFs of items, or a tool that scrapes API data and chucks it in a database, then this is great. These are simple applications that do not need an awful lot of authentication, crazy UI frameworks, or other windows-only features.

The code itself runs faster [1]. It might not matter for business / CRUD applications, but that's a nice to have thing.

The biggest selling point is cross platform support. Now, I don't care if the company switches from Windows 2016 VM's to some variation of RHEL. My code will work on that too. This gives your organization improved flexibility and reduced technical debt.

If you have a big legacy application using .NET Framework, it's probably not worth rewriting it for .NET Core. You will run into package conflicts. I have had to rewrite ".NET Framework only" pacakges to support .NET Core. That will throw your estimates off and probably delay the project. And that becomes really difficult to justify to project stakeholders.

It was absolutely caused by a witch casting a curse. She should be sought out and burned at the stake and put on trial.
Yeah, no. If I kept it above 78, I'd never fall asleep at night. Bump that. I don't care about the temp during the day while I'm at work, but a few hours before bed, the thermostat gets set on 63. And I don't care what the federal government says think about that.
As others have said, still lots of mag stripe readers in the US. In fact, many Square readers still seem to be swipes.

The main thing that makes me pretty much "meh" on the card is that the 2% is only for Apple Pay which I use for a tiny percentage of my purchases. So it's really more like 1% back and I already get that and more with other cards.
I thought the ending of the third movie was conclusive enough. I dread to think the machines changed their mind and now Neo has to fight another war. Also: In fairness if AI hasn't conquered space yet, then it's not sufficiently strong AI. The fourth edition should be set in space...
Spoken like someone in a truly insular bubble. Go spend any amount of time in a city with an arts college.
Android's option of connecting the device to a computer over USB, running a program on the computer, logging into the device, seeing a scary warning and wiping the device seems to work well. I don't think I've heard of a large number of people being tricked into unlocking their bootloader — at worst, a handful of script kiddies might have been tricked.
Read some of Isaac Asimov's work. I find his ability to avoid many of the pitfalls of the social issues refreshing. His writing style isn't the most exciting, but it's thought provoking and interesting. The Foundation series as a whole was great.
If we reframe the discussion a tiny bit, The Matrix is a terrible example of an original story. Its almost the exact same category as Star Wars. Classic heros journey, pastiching tons of other familiar works they decided were influencial (in this case sci fi, cyberpunk, philosophy, religion, anime, hong kong action, karate..) all wrapped in a very tightly defined worldbuilding bow. These kinds of movies resonate and last precisely because of how derivative and unoriginal they are. They are giants standing on the shoulders of other giants.

None of that is intended to diminish the movie in any way.
You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. You talking out your arse.
So does around twenty things in my household: My TV, my camera, my router, my wifi access point and perhaps a dozen more. Probably 3 or 4 I didn't even realize. That doesn't change the fact that I don't want to know and care about that. They are appliances, meaning I prefer a locked down system if it means they are simpler and more secure.
I totally agree. Hard not to think about Edward Tufte when this comes up:
"In color maps, use a single hue, Don't use up the entire color spectrum, or even all of a hue's levels. Particularly avoid Roy G. Biv (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), the color spectrum of the rainbow. It's good physics, but poor human factors. Like all multi-hue color maps, the non-equidistant hue changes are perceived as especially important contours, which they usually are not. Furthermore, the lighter middle parts of the spectrum are often perceived as the higher values. Finally, one needs to constantly remind oneself which color means high vs. low values. Using a single hue with variations in intensity allows instant interpretation, multiple color maps without ambiguity, and leaves graphical space for layering and separation."
VB.NET is pretty much alive in many life science enterprise shops.

It is their escape route when they outgrow Excel/VBA.
Counterpoint: It's a singular way to know that your work is appreciated. It's not the only way. It's far from the only way in fact. Here's a short list of ways to see that your work is important:

-Direct comments from people saying as much
-Visible effects of your work changing things around you
-People providing you with physical, yet solely sentimentally valuable tokens of their thanks

The money is one way of keeping score, but it's not the singular way of keeping score. It's only important if you feel it's important. You can volunteer at an old folks home or help maintain an important, widely used OS project, and pretty easily understand that what you're doing is valuable to your society. There are all sorts of tasks that you can perform that have an overt and direct impact but which will not provide you with any financial income. Within the context of the discussion, being retired (which we earlier defined as existing in a state in which you no longer need additional financial gain in order to support your lifestyle) you could still perform meaningful task that aren't jobs.

OP hasn't commented on what it is that makes "working jobs for money" his thing. We can only speculate what his answers would be. I'm still of the opinion that it's either avarice and a love of money as a way of keeping score of your life, or a misunderstanding of what non-work activities look like.

How do you define greed? What do you feel I'm misunderstanding about the concept? Just so we can further this discussion, I'll put down my thought: Greed is the desire for money for money's sake. Using money as a way of proving that something is important. It is the desire to posses more than one needs. The crux of our disagreement here is likely that, defining what "needs" are. I believe capitalist societies are inherently greedy and therefor flawed. I'm not singularly condemning OP, I wish a pox upon the whole enterprise.

As I'm guessing most people who have had to use libpng will agree, the biggest strength here is a less-byzantine API. As good as the PNG format is, the library API is kind of awful.
That hasn't been the case since 2016, when Apple changed it so the fee is just needed to publish to the App Store.
That's actually my main use for Apple Pay. It's easier in Europe as a way to avoid having to do the signature thing (which the cashier is often not prepared for) with my US chip card. But it only works up to $30 or so.
2020 BMW M760i Short Review
Not the person who commented earlier but it feels a bit odd to mix the settlement payments and the actual spending transactions in the same list. Not sure if a different view would be useful or whether it is just something I would get used to over time.
Most modern terminals (i.e. with a contactless option), should be able to use chip and pin for US cards, no signature required. That's probably why they do not require signatures.

I think that the majority of terminals in EU have the contactless option - at least in Denmark all non contactless terminals have been phased out.
If you want to develop applications (or run arbitrary code) on their stack, which they spend billions of dollars developing and maintaining, yes, it will cost you $100/year.

Or you can get a free dev account, but the feature set it more limited and signatures are only good for 7 days.

Apple charges money for features so that they remain in business to keep making more features, and security updates too. So it is, in fact, exactly how they protect users.
What Are Sky Waves and HF Radio Communication?
I would make a distinction between querying and mutating the operating system state.

For querying information, I think the idea of representing everything as the same data structure really makes sense. The Unix philosophy or a relational view is perfect for this.
However, for more sematically complex things that have possibly surprising side effects, such as starting a service, setting up a new user account, connecting a drive, installing a printer, I think we need separate commands or procedures to encapsulate all the complex behavior.

Android's bootloader unlock process prevents mom from doing this just fine.
Indeed, thanks. I saw that it was required on the pot creation page, and then assumed it was necessary for adding users, too.
> Desktop applications typically do not fail due to a dialog box being popped up a few milliseconds late.

Not a few milliseconds, but a few dozen seconds might be a different story. While it might be hard to predict or measure an exact number, your deadline is however long it takes for the user to equate it to "forever" and kill the process / leave the website / uninstall the app / etc..
If you were trying to make a point I'd love to hear it.
Ok I'm back. I'm European so probability is I see political spectrum slightly different to US sees it. In most interviews I have watched he's very down to earth in not supporting any left wing policies. He hates antifa which for me means you are silent when fascism comes crawling. I would categorise him as center. Don't call me right wing, well don't allow them to spread shit on your show and argue against it.

The point I’m making is waiting until 2016 to move away from Java applets is about like waiting until December of 1999 to be sure your system is y2K compliant. I was working with companies in 2008-2010 to move away from Java applets. Everyone saw the writing on the wall a decade ago when it came to depending on plug ins.
You can use modules without a registry. It remains to be seen how many prefer a centralised registry
In *your life. I would indeed make myself few questions :)
What do you mean with it only works up to $30? I pay bills of several thousands with Apple Pay without pin or signature - I am from EU, but I expect them to work the same.

Because it's missing from all of these lists and I respect the maintainer a lot I'm going to throw Hug (https://github.com/hugapi/hug) into the mix.

Really easy to build fast, versioned, testable, documented, async APIs with Hug. If you're making a quick project would highly recommend giving it a spin.
Slightly off-topic, but as a non-tech guy (unless you count making websites with Bootstrap as 'tech') with significant experience in the business/marketing side of things, would attending an accelerator with the intention of finding a tech co-founder help? I can self-fund a product for a few years at least so I would bring that into the equation as well.
Dems != left. Dems can be centre right. Driving a Tesla makes you left wing? Pro drugs people can be Pro drugs on the right. He doesn't like antifa, which if you look at it antifa is disregarding or opposite of fascism. If you're not anti-fascist you are sitting on the fence and are silent, so are siding with the fascists.
I looked there. I really don’t have that button. At this point I’ve manually copied the card info for both my Apple IDs but I don’t think I had that button at any point. Maybe it’s because I have separate IDs for iCloud and iTunes.
Thank you from this devops/sysadmin person. I didn't know about observable, it looks really useful!

Of course it breaks DRM. That's the point.

> with stock Android provided by an OEM, you have no control over the opaque and invasive monolith that is Google Play Services and there's no way to control what data exits your device, aside from installing a VPN-based firewall.

This is true of all systems (and even worse on iOS, which has the same data collection as Play Services but can't be disabled or avoided) and irrelevant to the discussion about whether a user can completely control their device if they wish.
I used to think the same way but I've found that beating people up for a living tends to give a lot of MMA fighters a great deal of wisdom.
Considering the bills for a condition like this, I'd be wondering if it's even worth it to go to the doctor. My life isn't worth the destitution visited on everyone I know necessary to keep me alive, and I can't imagine the moral calculus his family had to go through.

I'm glad this guy could get the care needed to survive, and I wish him the very best in his recovery.
That's called Lymphangitis and it's a sign that there is an extreme underlying infection, usually by the same bacteria that this article is about.
I’m not even the guy who made the term necessarily complex. I used the term overly complex. You should probably ask the initial replier to my statement to define it as he introduced the term, not me.

That being said if finance serves to achieve certain goals I assume necessarily complex means a minimal set of rules and concepts that serve to achieve said goals. Overly complex means a system with way more rules and concepts necessary to achieve a certain goal.

I cannot pinpoint definitively what the overall goal of finance is. Like how it is with everyone else, the notion is vague and complex. I would love to make meAsurable claims but it is hard to do so in a topic that is relatively unmeasurable. What is the measure of complexity in finance? I don’t know. The starting point established here is the best I can come up with. If you can do better by all means do so, I would love to hear more on the science and statistical measurements of complexity in finance.

> Java applet deprecation is not a new or unforeseen development.

Not really a point of contention. Also not really relevant to this discussion. The whole "12 years ago a company [I didn't even work at] should have done X Y Z" isn't constructive, or remotely relevant to a discussion of IE Mode today and how it operates.

> Apple charging money for a feature does not protect users.

The $99 is not likely to make them money. It is a token fee to protect the app store from the simplest spam and scam apps.

Genetic Code Variants

For most organisms the "stop codons" are "UAA", "UAG", and "UGA". In vertebrate mitochondria "AGA" and "AGG" are also stop codons, but not "UGA", which codes for tryptophan instead. "AUA" codes for isoleucine in most organisms but for methionine in vertebrate mitochondrial mRNA.

Show HN: Mead – how I'm pushing back against Medium
https://www.meadapp.com/

TLDR; Mead is a special case static site generator that automates the process of compiling and uploading to your S3 account.

Mead is a desktop application that combines the flexibility of static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo, etc) with Medium's ease of publishing. I created Mead because I wanted to write more and the present options put up too many obstacles.

Like many others, I don't like the experience Medium offers to readers. Modals and banners distract the user from engaging with the content and in some cases, prevents them entirely.

Static site generators are great in terms of their flexibility. They're the only way we can fully control what trackers and advertisements readers are exposed to. However, the writing process is a bit cumbersome. I often forget the commands I need to run, and I'd like to not have to run 3 git commands every time I notice a typo.

Mead, at its core, prioritizes simplicity. It was made so I could easily open up an app on my computer, write some text, add an image (automatically uploading to S3), paste in a code snippet, click a button, and have the whole thing public without any other effort.

Mead is also an experiment in creating a product that does not need advertisements or trackers to continue existing. My goal here is to fully respect the privacy of others. If I'm failing in some way, please gently point it out and I will make the necessary corrections.

The Journey to Try Harder: TJnull’s Preparation Guide for PWK/OSCP
Yes. You have one life, and it’s worth living with or without money.
Yeah, it's always interesting to see what makes it onto the front page of HN from the blogs I read regularly. He's the sort of person I'd love to be around so I could ask him questions, but if I were with him in a room and could ask him 10 questions, none of them would be about operating systems.
Yeah I think the answer is pretty clear why there's one. It was slightly better than the others in some ways like error resistance (important on a young, ie recently formed, where there's no atmosphere to protect from UV and other comic radiation) and then it just out competed. It's easy to forget just how long it took to go from single celled life (4000 MYA) to multi celled life (~2100 MYA, first fossil evidence at least). That's almost 2 billion years for different versions of DNA/RNA/Amino acids to be tried and tested with almost no chance that we'd find fossil evidence of it. (Not even sure if you could tell from a fossil at all honestly)
I'd like to recommend the book:

Are you using a VPN or other high-latency connection? In a clean Firefox install, Gmail takes a couple seconds to be usable — not as fast as I'd like but nowhere near a minute even on marginal WiFi.
But it has the capacities to be one if you plugged in peripherals.
I imagine those innovations are due to tremendous spending, funded by taxes.

I wonder what these engineers would be doing with their time otherwise. What those tax dollars could have accomplished.

Sure we get a few pieces of technology, but it's at enormous cost.

Especially when we hear about small companies or founders able to create useful technology.

Yea, that premise might be flawed. I've used Splitwise with over two dozen people, some of them newcomers, all of which picked it up instantly. I don't remember missing a feature either...
I think a great deal of his success comes from the fact that he's successfully combined two qualities guys would like to have: machismo and intellectual curiosity. If he was just an MMA fighter or just a comedian, he wouldn't get nearly the same kind of following.

Guys always respect a guy who can fight. But when that guy can also do comedy or hold shallow but intelligent opinions on a lot of topics, he gets a lot of respect from everyone.
Are you sure?

Hear THX’s New Deep Note Right Here
That is a subtle misreading of Rand; and all the more interesting because it precisely misses what she was trying to say. The sort of people who cook in return for pay or who operates machinery to till soil were the core of the world that Rand was envisioning. The vision wasn't anti-labour, it was anti-redistributive-policies. Philosophically there was a great deal of support for people who worked hard and earned a wage. If I recall correctly, its been a while, the condemnation was for the sort of people who said "I don't think you need this, so I'm going to take it and do a better job with it because you aren't moral enough".

Obviously Atlas Shrugged is a work of fiction, a community as small as was in the book couldn't match the productive output of city with a large labour force and not everyone is going to buy in to a capitalistic utopia. But the idea was never that the rich should dominate by virtue of being rich; the philosophy was that people should become rich because others agree that they are creating wealth. And the method for determining what people think should be a free market, and everyone should be left alone apart from that.

Catwalk: Serving Machine Learning Models at Scale
Well you comment was really interesting to me because I didn't know ERNIE 2.0 and it's concept of continual learning seems to be really a step forward!

But some of you statements seems incorrect:
Ernie 2.0 being stronger than xlnet
XLnet is the neural net with the biggest number of first places on benchmarck leaderboards.
Cf: https://paperswithcode.com/paper/xlnet-generalized-autoregre...
While ernie 2.0 has currently 0 first place on paperswithcode.com
https://paperswithcode.com/paper/ernie-20-a-continual-pre-tr...

xlnet trained on 10x more data than original BERT
No, I've read on a github issue of xlnet that xlnet base is same size as bert base and xlnet large is same size as bert large.
(I don't know for ernie 2)

Well your point on finetuned bert vs non finetuned xlnet is interesting.
ROBERTA is so fine tuned it beat XLnet on some tasks.
But generally xlnet non finetuned beat BERT finetuned and there are more and more xlnet finetuned each week.
But your point does apply for Roberta, and for the few tasks where bert as been applyed but xlnet hasn't yet.
