Clarification for the Dates thing: You implement a date as a datetime where time=00:00:00. BUT a timezone mismatch between application and DB means today 00:00:00 might change into yesterday 23:00:00 so everybody who claims you can 'just' ignore the time is subtly wrong.

I had a lot of fun troubleshooting an issue where a country was invaded in WW2 so it joined the German time, but its neighboring country was not. Hence, only in part of WW2 and only in summertime the time zones between these countries differ. Server was of course installed in the neighboring country and then delivered without altering the time zone because who cares about something that subtle. Turns out everybody born in these specific half years had their birthday shifted by one day.
> This is a problem nobody in the open source community seems to care about

The open source community does care about it. However, the solutions are strictly on Apple. If they don't change their behaviour and terms, there is nothing the community can do.

And that license violations are often ignored in practice is different from actively encouraging them, which is what you are doing. Since that kind of thing is illegal in most places, Apple surely won't hesitate to kick such software from the appstore.
>For awhile during its rise in popularity rooster sauce bottles could only be bought from Asian restaurants in my area and not regular grocery stores

I knew people who stole it from restaurants because that's the only place they could find it (and not for sale). It was probably available in Asian markets but a bunch of high school kids wouldn't have known that.

It really is a marvel of word of mouth but it took decades for what I have to imagine would have taken much less time without sacrificing the quality of the product had they made an effort to spread the word. It just seems like they didn't want to but then I find it strange that they expanded manufacturing so much. That seems at odds.
It sometimes takes minutes for the file to become available. Meanwhile we get a 401 unauthorized. Even though we have something in place like that:

for i in range(S3_UPLOAD_ATTEMPTS_COUNT):
try:
s3.Object(BUCKET, file_name).load()
return True
except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as e:
logger.warning('File still not uploaded to S3.
Check - {}/{} (request_id - {})'.format(
i+1, S3_UPLOAD_ATTEMPTS_COUNT, request_id
))
return False
You can get some pretty unbelievable performance gains out of a single writer and arrays of structs.

Bonus points if you figure out a way to have an array per type of struct pre-allocated with more elements than you will ever need. Even if you use a GC language you can almost eliminate collections with this approach.

The Effect of Adult Entertainment Establishments on Sex Crimes
Someone had to make the conscious choice to make it do that, then add the code for it — I’d love to know what their rationale was. I find it difficult to imagine how they thought it’d make things better, and how they could have missed the downsides of it.

I think it’s something they really should fix, because it screams “poor judgment”, which gives a bad first impression of their work.

Brexit Means Mobile Roaming Charges Return for Users of BT’s EE
My company actively does projects using Bubble for business clients. It is awesome to develop with and allows for integration to handle esoteric scenarios.

Speed is the main critique of Bubble (but, there are server packs that could be purchased to increase horsepower. I have never tried those though. Most of my current clients have business users and prioritise functionality and flexibility over breakneck speed. They are happen on the entry paid plans)

For an MVP, I would highly recommend Bubble.

Mobile Apps are not native or anything close with Bubble, but if responsive apps work, it is a great choice.

Sales to me is being honest, knowing when to break the corporate line, working outside of the job description to build trust (doing things like suggesting alternative solutions that may or may not include our product), and deliberately not knowing everything.

Your customer is the domain expert, not you, and you're their opportunity to further their expertise, and their representation inside their company.

It's fluffy, but in general it's hard to be tangible about something that is human to human. So I think selling is about being easy to talk to, and giving more than you take from the relationship.

(For context I was working on sales of 50k-1M)

It's a slight simplification. Technically a client side bug lead to bad state which was then reported to the server. The server lacked validation in this case and crashed when processing the invalid data.
Well, technically the failures of MCAS should be unproblematic, as the stabilizer runaway protocol is well trained for any 737 pilot and would cope with a MCAS misfunction. The problem is: in the two crashes the pilots either completely failed to follow the protocol (Lion Air) or to late and failed to recover (Ethiopian Airlines).

There was Jesus teachings right? And many others who were frowning upon it. This "it was embedded" is merely a way to retroactively make it sound not as bad as it is. Condoning slavery in Locke's time was also bad. And, ihmo, especially looks bad on "mr equality" himself.

> The FCA rarely acts to protect UK citizens from potentially dangerous financial products from authorised regulations.

The job of the FCA, and of regulations in general, is not to shield people from risk and losses, it's to prevent scams and to make sure people are informed of the rules and of the risks.

Basically the law is not there to prevent people from making bad decisions, it's there to ensure that they can make informed decisions.
I am very disappointed in Sweden when they chose to spend several millions in disproportion on this case rather than all the other rape and murder cases which Sweden have.

I am disappointed in Sweden that a prosecutor went against Swedish law, was found to be guilty of Swedish law, and yet received no punishment. It the only known case in Swedish history where the crime was public news for years and yet the prosecutor continued without changing course.

I am disappointed that when it became known that US diplomats has been involved in influencing the Swedish case, nothing happen.

I am disappointed that a political active prosecutor took over a case from an other prosecutor in a rather explicit way after getting a "tip" to do so.

I am disappointed that the police somehow "leaked" protected documents to journalist.

I am disappointed that the Swedish government opened the case just after Wikileaks released a bunch of classified diplomatic cables, and dropped the case in order to allow the US to take it over.

I am disappointed that the Swedish government had zero interest in investigate the case.

I am disappointed that the Swedish police ignored the wishes of the women.

If you want to talk about stealthing we can do that, or if Assange is a respectful to his sexual partners, or about the finer details of Swedish categories of the lesser degree sexual offenses. It has nothing more with the actually case, than when a police murder someone for a parking violation. Severe corruption is a separate problem than if Assange are guilty of the Swedish charges or not.
Freedom of speech is absolute. One cannot outlaw what one does not want to hear. If you want your freedom to speak you are required to let other people speak. It's really that simple.

Hate does not go away by outlawing. It only makes martyrs of those impacted by the law.

There is need for highly skilled and educated people in industry even for regular roles. On other hand there is also need for scientist and researches. Both roles are somewhat different, but I dont' see now reason why they couldn't be trained at same facilities.

> Canada’s society is going to shit and the primary reason is this anti hate speech law?

No, it's the ideology behind proposing laws like this. Demonizing the existence of white people and at the same time expecting them to cheerfully provide the main tax base.
This is really interesting viewpoint, consider turning this into an essay or something longer form. I'm sure plenty of people would be interested.

It's uncomfortable to say because of how racist it sounds, but I've noticed the tendency you mentioned of Black culture to homogenize the way men present themselves to the world. What do you think is the real root cause of this? It has to be something extremely powerful if it affects even the cultural leaders, the producers of the values consumed by the average people. I'm sure a lot of people would just say it's a result of oppression and slavery, but to me that sounds like a just-so story.

On similar lines I had a course on software architecture [0] during my Master's in which students had to choose a sufficiently complex open source project and analyze it from an architectural perspective, summarizing their findings in the form of chapters to be compiled in a book [1] inspired by [2]. We were also highly encouraged to raise PRs though it wasn't compulsory. Most student groups did end up raising PRs and getting them merged, albeit most were understandably minor ones given the short timeline (~2.5 months for the entire course).

Personally I can say it was a really good experience and it certainly made me look at open source development (and programming in general) from a more nuanced perspective - and I suppose it would definitely be a good idea to introduce such courses when students are sufficiently prepared for them, in the more advanced stages of their study programmes.

There is no society (existing or historical) where freedom of speech was absolute. There have always been consequences for some types of speech.

The US conception of freedom of speech is basically, "Your ideological speech is safe from government censorship, but not from anyone else's." And even that has been unevenly supported by courts over time.

So while your philosophy is interesting, it seems to have little to do with the way societies actually behave.

A future where all human knowledge is at one’s fingertips is still a possibility. The problem is that our society is based on the profit motive. This means corporations will subsume everything they can squeeze profits out of.
How can I leave this industry.

I've been a web dev since graduating in 2007 and no longer have the desire to compete in an oversaturated, increasingly complex industry.

The norm in this type of countries is to keep USD, EUR and property. Bitcoin is the way to get rich, at least the mental model is based on that.

The inflation in these countries is not because of the way their economy is structured but because lack of structure and integrity. Things are not good in these countries, people don't seek to preserve the current wealth(and fail because of their currency) but they seek to get out of poverty and those who are not in poverty seek to explode their wealth so that the can buy a mansion and a Ferrari. The richer ones seek ways to hide their wealth out of the reach of the politics because in this type of countries the political situation is usually unstable and those who get very rich are cronies. When the crown falls the cronies need to have an exit strategy(sometimes they can adopt but sometimes the new crown comes with its own people) and that usually is buying property or companies overseas. Now they have the BTC option.

Therefore, in such countries people don't really keep local currency long term already(when they do, they will do it to get interest rates that at least match the inflation). The inflation rate is relevant only when doing business deals, financing projects or purchases and adjusting employee salaries. No one is losing their wealth to inflation.

> Many in developed countries don't understand the challenges of a devaluing currency with unlimited supply or the difficulty of being unbanked.

I have to admit, being in a developed country, that I genuinely don't understand why someone would switch away from a local currency that is failing at the task of being a currency to a cryptocurrency like bitcoin that is also failing at being a currency.
