> it's really important that there is a one to one mapping between a URI and a resource (not /v1/customer/1 and /v2/customer/1 URIs which both refer to customer 1). I'm not familiar enough with API construction to know why this might be important, but maybe system clarity?

This isn't important unless you take "True REST" seriously. This notion is a fussy little hobgoblin that most people rightly dispense with.

> You have far flung clients that are not easy to update (iot, mobile apps, software that needs to be manually configured) and you want all clients to always go to the same URI (perhaps for whitelisting through a client firewall).

Surely if I'm not updating some of the clients, they can just continue using the v1 endpoint while other clients use a v2 endpoint. I don't actually see how this helps.
I lived in Finland of a while. Tax declarations are public information there and you can find out the salary of anyone pretty easily. IMHO that kind of transparency is actually a good thing to have and helps prevent unfair practices where e.g. men get more than women or nepotism gets you access to better salaries.
If I were FEMA I'd have fuel and water trucks lined up. Moreover, I'd keep that fact quiet so as not to encourage anyone.

The difference is that those other are not meant to be used as a money replacement. In Pokemon Go there are coins and they are nothing but points to spend in store.

If I could transfer them to other player, become a certified shop that accept payment with them, or do any of the many other thing you can do with money that would be probably a legally grey area.

I Started a YouTube Channel For Advanced C# Coding Techniques
Hi, guys!

I am the creator of My Tested ASP.NET - testing libraries with more than 50k downloads for the new ASP.NET Core and the old ASP.NET Web API 2 frameworks. You can check the source code on GitHub: https://github.com/ivaylokenov

Recently I decided to start a channel on YouTube to share my developing experience with the projects. I want to post mainly advanced C# coding techniques.

Three videos have been already uploaded:
- Optimize C# reflection by using delegates - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Akdz4Ukdxc
- Beautify ugly C# reflection code by using the dynamic type - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ2KZIcUxDM
- How to test ASP.NET Core web applications with My Tested ASP.NET - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf2P-410Za4

Future topics include:
- Designing a fluent interface by using the builder pattern
- How to not get lost with generics and their shenanigans
- How My Tested ASP.NET works behind the scenes
- Using reflection because you are lazy
- Refactoring bad code by example
- Entity Framework Core best practices for performance
- Bend your code by using expression trees
- The ASP.NET Core internal secrets
- Writing testable code should be easy if you follow the rules
- Creating pluggable architecture to make developers happy
- Understanding in-memory databases
- Building a license code generator to protect your software
- The new ASP.NET Core endpoint routing
- Demystifying industry buzzwords - TDD vs. BDD vs. ATDD
- Razor Pages - the solution to "fat" controller code

The channel is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP5Ons7fK3yKhX6lhc9XcfQ

Any feedback is more than welcome.

I will be pleased if you find my content useful, subscribe to the channel and share it with your C# friends!

Thank you!
With all that flashing and shaking I cannot perceive anything with or without VB. Ads guys today lost their roof completely.

Better than geographic would be state (counties for other countries) level break-down charts, as well. It would demonstrate the gross disparity between, say, Silicon Valley and DFW or Oslo and Trømso or Dublin and Cork.
There's nothing more inherently 'trustworthy' in HN than there is in Fark. What there is, is a downvote button and an understanding that, if someone says something 'unpopular to the community', the community will deal with them.

This definitely speaks to the subject of the article and is very telling in and of itself: most online communities are comfort-communities. This seems to be bleeding into offline life at a rather rapid clip ..
Reading this article gave me goosebumps and an overall melancholy feeling. I can't quite put my finger on why though...

I think it has to do with the subtext (I might be reading into this...) that knowledge is no longer a respected asset, but instead is viewed by some as a symbol of the 'old' status quo (and its related issues and in particular its failure in resolving some of those issues). The reaction to this, as I have understood it, is to either shun those who use knowledge (in the sense of this 'old' way) or outright censor them (remove them from the knowledge-pool).

The article did help in my understanding of identity-politics and why its such a powerful force in the USA and, for example, less so in places like Europe.
Nice summary.

Works both ways, too, e.g. whenever religious groups rename any kind of disagreement with them as "Hate speech".
I tried to break the war3 engine as a youth, pushing it to weird limits in the map editor. Can confirm war3 doesn't break. Will forever be a staple game in my library.

I've always been quietly impressed how well war3's JASS and map editor works as an introduction to programming and how games work. The sc2 editor is too complex for teenage fun IMO.
Don't think it's fair to say that nothing can be drawn from it. Sure there's less statistical significance but I wouldn't discard it completely. There's a large altruism component involved. Nearly every other week folks email us (levels.fyi) willing to help us out with site development for free because we helped them negotiate a higher offer. If there's anything I learned from this project it's how willing people are to help others. Open-source is proof of this.
This. It takes years to learn good architecture, and Cloudformation nudges you to make it right. Thats why you need senior infrastructure engineers.

How does that add up? So if I don't drive 1000 miles in a year, I have an extra $700K?
The problem with video screenings is that as a hiring manager, the "gut feeling" that you get when you see a "good fit" is heavily biased to favor people that look, think, and act like you do. And physical attractiveness absolutely has a measurable effect on that feeling, regardless of whether you are aware of it or not. Those people may or may not be the best candidates for the job. To say otherwise is to deny human nature.
Just look at history, its very clear: safe spaces are unsustainable. The petroleum-economy is a safe space, and its rapidly killing us all.

And that, my dear friend, is exactly my point. Think about this thread next time you pay for your "carbon offsets".
That's for the theory.
In practice, Bitcoin is popular because it allow you to speculate on an instrument easy to manipulate if you have enough funding and because it allows you to buy drugs on dark markets.
Beside that, due to the volatity of Bitcoin, it has no practical use.
The cost of signup for a MooC is low and the time and effort needed to complete Mooc is rather high. That could explain the lower completion rather and something is still a lot better than nothing. Also why are we comparing against normal courses were people has dedicated time versus online where there is not dedicated time?

I think it would be good to design course content for the medium. Professional adults does not have unlimited spare time, especially not if you have other duties to upkeep that require time family and friends. Thus maybe it would be wise to divide the course content in smaller chunks and reward people for completing each chunk. This would be a design for Mooc that would be very similar to game level design which already works brilliant online! Aka divide and conquer algorithm. Reward people for completing levels.

Nature's filter is months or years of socializing, dating, and marrying.

Sperm banks are really removing a natural filter.

I would be very interested to know if this donor has a partner or natural children. Many autistic people struggle to attract a mate.
It seems like here you’re arguing that banning some damaging things might make some others allowable. That’s the inverse of the argument I was discussing.

I understand the argument and it’s reasonable, but in the case if each activity under consideration, they have to be assessed relative to the total harm to the environment, not to directly against each other individually. But there could be a hierarchy of comparison.

Still, as I said this is the inverse case to the one I was replying to, which I still think is completely unreasonable.
It is a loud minority, roughly 8%.

There was nowhere else go to besides "better" ! I actually tried some a few months ago, trying to keep an open mind. I agree with "disappointed, but no longer hungry". But I disagree that one should go out of their way to try it - all I could think was "this is made to be adequate for stoners".

(And I know programmatically ordering food is cool and all, but I'd trudge through the snow and wait an hour if that's what it took to get something other than Dominos)
When I played with Fargate about a year ago or, this was its Achilles heel. I was hoping for a solution that would auto-scale very quickly, but the healthcheck intervals and minimum counts to consider a container "running" couldn't go below 30 seconds or so.

As far as I recall, this is all configured on the load balancer, rather than directly inside Fargate. Somehow makes it feel less like a "fully managed" solution, but rather something you have to still tinker quite a bit with.

(compared to Lambda, which you really don't have to worry about scaling at all)

EDIT: [0] indicates that the minimum you can set is 10 seconds (minimum 2 intervals of 5 seconds to consider it "healthy"), if I understand it correctly

Do something strange in public in a large city and you'll have a bunch of cameras pointing at you in pretty short time.

The ubiquity of cameras is becoming more accepted too, I think Google Glass released now might just have made it.
Nice! Yeah .. I've found as I've aged, I really need scenery somewhere, scrolling by in the background, if I try to travel-work. I guess I get claustrophobic without it ..

Could someone explain why Ghislaine Maxwell is not under scrutiny? I thought it was pretty well established she was at the very least an accessory, if not herself a perpetrator. I'm sure there are dozens, if not hundreds of others, but she seems like such an obvious next target, I'm at a loss why she's not being detained and questioned.

Having a cute API and leaving the parentheses out of your function calls isn't a DSL, it's just a cute API where you leave the parentheses off. I know Ruby people call them "DSLs" all the time, but they aren't.

Python doesn't have an idiomatic equivalent to block arguments, but you could probably write an equally usable routing API. It just wouldn't look as cute because there would still be parentheses.

What you end up doing in e.g. Flask is decorating your controlle method with the path that routes to it. Turbogears controllers serve routes based on class and method names without the extra wiring that Rails has. Django has a Rails-style "URLconf" (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/http/urls/) that actually seems a lot more intuitive and explicit to me.
From having taught a MooC, I can share some light on this. Most people who sign up and drop it do so to access the course ware. Once they have downloaded this, they disappear or fade away.

I'm not really sure how the U1 data is particularly relevant to governments. They don't generally need to know the precise movements of your phone about a single room. GPS will already locate you to the building and frequently to the room itself.
If you do not need the graphical stack, there is room for optimization both in kernel and user space.
On a similar board (4 ARM cores) with Ubuntu I managed to start user space applications in <2 seconds (from power on) and the complete boot (including Xorg/MATE) in <10 seconds.

That is a good point, I didn't know most of it and it shades a whole new light on the EV topic for me. Especially 3) is a bombshell to me, as I was under the impression that at - least theoretically - the users have control about who they trust.
Short haul flights are the ones which are most likely to electrify first, helping fund the technology for further ranges. Taxing the fuel makes sense.
I sometimes hear people talking negatively about prospective partners... "He's rude". "He is too much of a lad", "He isn't mature", etc.

All of that is them filtering out those traits from their future children. Sperm banks can never do that.
This one is better than most because what he accomplished is a very good science fair project, and that's what he's being lauded for. The fact that it has some potential to be developed in to a real world solution is just icing on the cake.
Finally an explanation of what a train driver actually does - they are there to reboot the automation if necessary. But what have they been doing up until now? Train driving is a very well paid job, over twice as much as a bus driver, for a fraction of the work... they don’t even steer it!

We should never assume that the loudest voices are also representing the majority opinion. This brought us into so many crises in the past.

Right now the world is changing as it did a few times in the past as well. From families to tribes, from tribes to cities, from cities to countries to nations to whatever is currently in the brewing. And always when such a big change happens it is not possible for us humans to really understand it. There are some who overinterpret the change and become zealous about enforcing it, but in the wrong way. There are also those that want to stay close to the old ways and therefore enforce these with zealous spirit.

That doesn't mean the majority will not do as it always did: try to make the best of what happens around them while continue to live their normal lifes. And in that regard the majority is also interested in knowledge and logic and fairness etc.

If you feel knowledge is an important part of your path continue believing in it and that there are enough other people around you who feel the same. Even if they don't speak up. This crisis will pass and then we'll live in a new world. And certainly we rather need more knowledge workers than in past iterations.
>Tax declarations are public information there and you can find out the salary of anyone pretty easily.

This true of almost all of the Nordics. For example, you can perform the same request from Skatteverket in Sweden.

>IMHO that kind of transparency is actually a good thing to have and helps prevent unfair practices where (e.g.: men get more than women or nepotism gets you access to better salaries).

This isn't implicitly true. If it were, Iceland wouldn't have had to pass a law to make unfair salaries (based on gender[0]) illegal.

Interesting choice of words.
>it doesn't strike me as eating cardboard //

So, the thought of eating cardboard physically impacts on you? Why do you say it does, why don't you say "it doesn't seem to me like eating cardboard would be a similar experience". /s

Of course "tastes like cardboard" is just a generic phrase to indicate you think something is bland [and chewy] or unsatisfying to eat. Just like the the metaphorical way in which people talk about thoughts striking them.

In short, I find your objection silly and overly argumentative.
Yes, because just before reaching the ocean all washing machine micro plastics hop out of the water and turn into a pot of gold. These pots are then brought to the ends of rainbows by leprechauns.
Yes. This is done routinely for laptop and phone batteries.

I googled some numbers for you: https://recyclinginternational.com/batteries/the-unknown-suc...

Apparently close to 100K tonne of lithium batteries were recycled last year which amounts to about half of the volume of batteries that should have reached their end of life around that time.

Not very surprising as the metal is valuable and the recycling process is fairly straightforward. Apparently, recycled lithium has some nice properties that results in slightly better batteries even.

I'd expect that with car batteries, recycling will be very big business. Dumping hundreds of kilos of valuable materials in a land fill is not going to be a thing. They recycle pretty much all of the steel in cars as well.
What’s funny is all of these trade offs have always applied to ICE cars as well, but for some reason no one cares. Blasting your radio shortens your range even in a gas vehicle. Running your wipers shortens your range even in a gas car.
Just like change of voltage is what matters, change of energy is what matters. I find it fascinating that all of energy politiking rests on fundamentals of funding these huge differences between potential energy wells so you can add something vampiric and capture the difference as electricity or some other type of kinetic energy that we like...

The million dollar question is whether the vacuum has some potential difference that can be exploited for energy generation..
If the book is as "technical" as this article than I don't think I'll be reading it. The sole argument, it seems, is that computers lack the nebulously defined "concept".

If you don't define it, than you might as well be saying it lacks a soul and can therefore never be truly intelligent. What does understanding a concept mean?

Because AI researchers have been working to get closer to this understanding for years, and to simply say "it isn't there yet" falls a bit flat. It's like saying climbing a tree isn't flying, while ignoring the attempts to fly with kites, wingsuits, or parachutes: we might not have a plane yet, but we are making progress.
I meant them using 18650 size for ease of cooling. What I saw were them having battery packs with zigzagging air channels in between few rows of 18650s, nothing about the chemistry they use
It depends. Grid level storage is mostly about cost per kwh. not kilos per kwh. Energy density matters for small devices and transportation but these are not the only applications.
When I started with the 6502 it took a while to get a working, stable system due to a couple of weird circuit issues (like forgetting to qualify R/W by PHI2) which wouldn't have been the case if I was using a Z80

Do you know if there is a forum for Z80 homebrew systems?
Well it seems like the German government is worried about Facebook controlling money, not cryptocurrency per se. And I completely agree with that. Facebook creating money and everyone switching to libra sounds very dystopian to me.
As a competitive cyclist and someone who spends far too much time thinking and talking about bikes, I've never heard any of these claims, and in fact most of them are the opposite of the common consensus among cyclists.
Validators pay $10,000,000 for the privilege of processing transactions and collect transaction fees and can probably resale that privilege with a premium based on their absolute return, which would be called yield. They buy originally from the foundation, and thats how the foundation makes its first $1,000,000,000 dollars. These validators and other accredited investors also get access to a completely parallel asset called LIT, Libra Investment Token, which has value based on typical securities fundamentals.

The users get the stablecoin and are resigned to only possibly trying to speculate on foreign exchange rate changes, which are entirely inferior to the other opportunities such that it shouldn't even be considered. Users only have the opportunity to be users.

Probably time to read the white paper again if you really want to have a more nuanced discussion.

Another great way to learn 6502 computing: get a retro-computer back up and running.

I have a suite of Oric-1/Atmos machines that are in use for precisely this purpose. Its wonderful to return to a simpler era of tooling and methodology, and the feeling once you get it all up and running and building new apps .. for 30 year old computers .. is quite rewarding. Feels good to have done something productive with what would otherwise have become landfill ..
I've heard people say Aramco's going public because the Saudis have seen the writing on the wall for oil and want to make bank before it goes bang - or at least starts a long slow decline.
"Private entity" is more of a legal term than anything else (than common english). That's is exactly why it's obvious, because it is used in an official document, which is not likely to use the common english definitions and use more legal ones.
Wow, I didn't know these existed. That is pretty neat.
I am not sure why is he talking about branching prediction when this is really about caching. The next integer to look at is unlikely to be in the CPU data cache, and so each time we have to go to main memory. If we interleave the searches, we interleave the memory requests, and get higher throughput.

Or am I wrong?
He and his brother have independent forums as well, and there's a sub dedicated to the X16.

> He was blond and blue-eyed, 6-foot-1, 240 pounds, and appeared to be smart and accomplished. His profile said he had a master’s degree and was working as a medical photographer. His hobbies included long-distance running, reading and art.

Isn't this enough to identify him, not just in sperm banks but in real life?

> And most important, Rizzo says, he had a clean bill of health, according to his profile — having scribbled “NA” and a strikethrough line on all but one of the more than 100 medical questions, including mental health ones, posed by sperm banks. (His paternal grandfather had had prostate cancer at age 85.)

I'd be interested in what "not applicable" means here, and how the mother understood it.
> Tax declarations are public information

What was historical reason for this? I see it as a privacy invasion. Is it a case for GDPR?
