I noticed a lot of the courses I was looking at on Coursera seemed to be from universities and the ones on Udemy looked like they were more from companies (Google, etc.) or professionals from different organizations. Is that a fair assessment?
It's other on-device processing that's planned in iOS 15 (such as scanning my local files without consent to report on me to the police) which is going to keep me from using devices with it.
Yep, better keep those legacy Java, C and C++ skills up to date, regardless of the opinion on them.

They might come handy.
Excellent advice.

Though I'd posit that simply making it legal closes down plenty of avenues for someone coming to harm from use, especially younger people.

"I worked with someone my age who only strong skills are a large enterprise storage system. He is a dinosaur and his future is limited. That's not his age, its the way he chose to build is CV."

I suppose everything is a choice. I have worked on tech that doesn't have a future because the company needs someone to fill those shitty positions. I naively believed the company when they talked about them taking care of employees and being able to make a career out of it.

I guess first stathibus defined that anything that indicates the reality of climate change is part of one big conspiracy, and then "obviously" this event is part of that?

Isn't engineering the opposite? Taking a bunch of the mundane world (physics, chemistry, etc) and building something up until it does suddenly feel like magical black box?
AFAIK you can still enter your windows 7/8 keys during installation and have it work.
Temporarily shrouding oneself in Tor, DDG, VPNs, etc doesn't address the root problem: the commoditization of data. The next generations will have fewer and fewer tools to subvert the system. Real change will come from addressing the root problem rather than finding individualistic, temporary solutions.

I have been living in Japan and I can confirm that the construction quality of most houses is very low. Shoji is a good example, the may look pretty but they rarely fit properly.
A lot of managers go back to being ICs because they don’t get enough time to code. Also, spending too much time in people management can set your career back as switching jobs is much harder (its easier to switch jobs as a senior SWE than a senior manager since people management cultures change a lot between companies). At some point, people managers specialize beyond coding into something else other than a SWE…they are no longer acting also as tech leads.
thanks! this looks like something i could use.

> The reality is that emotions are subjective and we have no way to compare our experiences directly with others, but it's ridiculous to assert that they don't exist.

Or rather, it's the failure to endorse Theory-Theory as an axiom. Plenty of people who don't do that think of this type of introspection as a self-narrative rather than an actual inspection of anything. An Epiphenomenalist might say that beliefs about one's own "emotions" are a retrospective interpretation of instinctive activations of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

And they'd have experimental evidence on their side. To believe in emotions without coherent physical expressions or locations can seem like a form of dualism.
>Gut irrational reactions are usually followed by a rational realization when one "intellectually" knows something.

I heavily disagree with that one! Most gut reactions aren't followed at all by any rational realizations, and on the few occasions when they are followed by intellectual ruminations those ruminations will often try to rationalize their gut reaction instead of analytically criticizing them.
Also from the comment:

> ...but a few stalwarts (Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, etc.) are evergreen and always in demand. They even end up influencing the larger trends of fashion.

The "old" brands you are wearing are all the result of stalwart designers from the past.
I hope this doesn't make Siri's quality even worse, but it seems inevitable.
That would be an alternate explanation for the phenomena described by dark matter though, dark energy is about the accelerating expansion of the universe.
People who only hire young developers - don't know what they are doing. Experience is very valuable in this field. Choosing the wrong techology in the early stages of a project can be a huge mistake. You may not even notice what a mistake it was until years have gone by, and you'll be completely entrenched in it; with a painful backtracking ahead.
A world that’s governed by complex legal codes, procedures, and norms with a variety of loopholes and undefined states. One that’s not safeguarded by rah rah “we are most powerful country ever” therefore our bureaucracy is immune to bureaucratic failure!

We simply don’t really know what would’ve happened if e.g. the ballots were destroyed. They would’ve had to get duplicate ballots from the states. Would all the state election boards have stuck with their previous results now seeing an apparent opportunity to install their leader and feeling galvanized by the “fraud” of vote-by-mail?

It’s interesting how many people will complain about clear bureaucratic failure in basic day-to-day tasks like the DMV, and then imagine that the most complex bureaucracy in history is held together by patriot power and not, you know, bureaucracy, with all of its strengths and vulnerabilities.
Dropbox and Google drive will happily delete your files if you copy over them by accident. They're not really a backup service.

Is it possible to chain a value from a response to the next request? This would be useful for testing.

My understand is that between the header and the body there has to be a new line[0], in the docs seems like it's skipped[1], does it affect functionality if skipped? or is it intentional?

Taxonomic aside: I was using addictive only in the sense of chemically addictive. I've seen substance abuse or substance dependence being used rather than overloading addiction to capture those behaviors. Is this in alignment with what you're saying? Or do you mean cannabis is chemically addictive in some way?

I genuinely don't know but would like to learn more. It's hard to search for "is X addictive" because of aforementioned definition overload.

About the same age as the one you are replying to, usually the best way to work around that is consulting, where you are expected to be business analyst, architect, devops and coder in one package.

Granted, not everyone enjoys doing it, and it comes with lots of politics as baggage as well.
This would just mean that no one does hobby newsletters, and all the newsletters are simply spammers/marketers trying to make money off of you.

I think I saw something similar many years ago in a side competition of the national Math Olympiad were you can use computers. [spoiler alert] IIRC one student used a weird sorting algorithm, and after looking at it for a long time and testing, we called it a very inefficient insertion sort, and IIRC it was in the "wrong" direction. So my guess is that the student used this algorithm or something very similar.
Yes, this is a very old idea that resurfaced when javascript based crypto miners as an alternative to advertising became infamous.
Postman used to be nice and simple like this, and there used to be hurl.it as a web interface for making HTTP requests. I used that a lot. I'm guessing it got abused, though.
I'm not OP, but I can easily see my team getting into the same situation.

Our use case involves dynamically displaying some analysis results on a status page derived from data from the field. The analysis was originally written in Python + scipy + matplotlib (Julia in OP's case). Why write the analysis code a second time just to display it on a demand-generated webpage?

You don't have to run the entire website on Julia, but maybe you do want to stand up a couple of RESTful endpoints that are integrated with the rest of the web application. If Julia can't do that, then your options will be limited.
You could eliminate a lot of complexity by first checking if the email itself is signed. If it is from someone you know then you are done. If it is not from someone you know (i.e. anonymous) you would then kick in some sort of external reputation system ... or not even bother, just add a bunch of spam points.

I think that sometimes we forget that we are almost always sending and receiving anonymous emails and how weird that is.
I'm in Tech Consulting with a background in Computer Science (specifically Data Science) and I'd have to say that the courses on Udemy are much more aligned with how things are done in the industry.

And yes, most of the courses that I have taken there are taught by professionals with industry experience.
Depends on the team I guess, but if I’m going to be responsible for the quality of the technical implementation then I’m definitely going to understand the implementation, and have input on the choices behind that (even if I will defer to the engineers for most of them).
I’m a US expat and have been living in France for ~9 years. This topic always comes to my mind when looking for a new place. In terms of costs, that’s a hard one to really compare. In my region, Île-de-France, the cost per sqm is very very high. Land is also a luxury which applies to most of Europe. Prices are just generally higher here.

Having lived in multiple homes in the US, quality is also subject to whoever builds your home and what materials you invest in. I would say that the standard is generally higher in Europe, but that does come at a cost. I’ve rented multiple homes here in France. The apartment I am in now is simply amazing, I’m friends with my landlord and he explained to me the process he went through when developing the complex. One of the homes I rented was built in the 50s/60s, very solid but lacked a lot of modern amenities. It was also very damp and cold on the inside. The heating bill was horrible in the winters due to the high ceilings and outdated heating system. I upgraded to a more modern home after that, which was built in ’98 and was simply amazing. Layout was very practical, you could have a party on the main floor and the noise heard from the second floor was fairly minimal.

There are pros and cons to both approaches. A few that come to mind:

EU

+ sturdy construction that lasts longer than a standard US home

+ better sound isolation

+ more resilient to the elements

- more expensive

- home layouts are very odd due to age/changing standards

- renovating is more involved and difficult/costly

US

+ cheaper (in most places compared to EU)

+ renovating is much easier

+ better home layouts

+ easier to find something on a piece of land (if that's a criteria)

- less sound isolation

- needs repairs more frequently

- much less noise isolation

I think my biggest gripe is just the costs here in France. Being American, I like my space and having a little bit of land to play on. For what I am accustomed to having in the states would cost something north of a million in this region. Sure, you could find something in the center of France for dirt cheap, but you'll go stir crazy there...

I guess the moral of the story is that your problems go away if you have enough money /s
One of the most relaxed periods at work, despite a heavy workload, was back when everybody switched from Android phone to iPhones over some security concerns. That switch took almost two weeks, incl. all management functions. So for two weeks, all e-mail and communication had to go through desk phones and your laptop. Back then there was no Teams. And hell was that nice. Nothing was left unattended, everyone was so much more relaxed. And then mobile phones were back again...
This sounds exactly like a pcb project I have in mind, plus a bunch of ddr3. How hard is it starting from almost zero? I imagine diy isn’t realistic, how much does design of such a board cost?
It's not just identifiers though, it's also operators. To take an example from the OP article, I can't relate to anyone who claims that ∛x is better than cbrt(x). The fact that this is not only allowed but actively encouraged is absolutely baffling to me.
Any time conditions exist for someone who doesn't care about others to get what they want, that person will try to get what they want. That's not particularly insightful on its own. That's like the one-sentence synopsis of the entire field of critical theory. Go read Marx, or feminist theory, or critical race theory, or something. This fixation on child sexual abuse as an inevitable consequence of power seems like some weird right-wing conspiracy stuff, especially unironically using the words "The Taliban certainly has its faults but."
Working conditions can always get a little better. And if you don't ask for it, you won't get it.
This is authoritarian hyperbole.

People have a right to form groups and freely interact with others to the extent that they chose - that's a right not a privilege.

The absurdity of the arguments in this threat are revealing - HN is normally viscerally against any kind of authoritarian appeal, hacking on cops for arresting actual criminals ... but for this one ... they're supporting coercive and completely disproportionate actions by the state?

Because someone was called some names and meant to feel bad about themselves?

You can see how quickly the hand of angry populist authoritarianism comes out, like a bad religious movement, whenever it triggers some group's sensitivities.
The Catholic church can't change because they would have to give up the ghost. The Catholic church has always been about emotional and monetary control. You aren't allowed to ask for forgiveness of your sins but someone who went to a special college can ask for you? Umm, okay. I also think you also underestimate your power. Stand outside your local church protesting the molestation every Sunday. It won't be easy or comfortable but you can undermine the system you used to support. Good luck.
From what I understand amex is different from Mastercard or visa in Europe. The European limit on fees does not count for amex, or the fees are much higher. I'm not sure exactly. This usually means support for amex is lower than Mastercard or visa.
If the experiment invalidates your old model, eventually you need to come up with a new one.
Why is that? Is there a history of losing photos from Google or iCloud? Buying a flash drive every year means you don't have a backup between the time you take the photo and your next flash drive, and if your risk profile is dropping your phone down the toilet, that sounds like a bad idea to me.

edit: leaving my original comment but I realise that the parent called for buying a new drive every year, not just backing up every year - my bad. That said, with this approach you still need to track where your backups are and when they were last backed up. That's definitely going to be more error prone than an automated system.
This isn't inherent to voice assistants though (which is what this subthread is about). Siri is a known, particularly poor implementation of a voice assistant. I don't have an Alexa, but I just moved to a city where rainy days come out of nowhere. My Google Home is concise and precise about the chance that I'll need an umbrella, including what time the chance of rain starts.
There are 2 big problems:

- Data is destroyed

- Data is abused (somebody uses it against you in some way)

Disaster destroys, theft & ransomware destroys and/or abuses your data

Security against "abusing your data" is afaik: encrypting your data, using different passwords, never trust a link in an email (allways use the links you commonly use). BUT: this is difficult and unlikely done even by a average user.

Security against losing data is: backup or sync : backup is done best to my knowledge in apple devices. it also features sync. othervise i'd recommend dropbox, it can also recover some of the data you accidentially delete.

printing things is also still a good backup of important data
So we're just going to move the goal posts then? Yes, having desirable skills is a given.

We have a bunch of .NET devs (our BE is .NET) and the average age of these folks probably right around 40, because in general they're going to be older devs who do that.

CC lacks meaningful tools for protest. You can put up or leave. As far as I can tell, UK and US at least have some non-trivial involvement of lay Catholics in daily running of the institution. But in Poland? You'd be kicked out for asking to see a church's books.

Incidentally, leaving is what's happening in Poland. The bastion of Catholicism with unshakable faith. When I was at high schools O(15) years ago, pretty much everyone attended religion classes at school (yes, Catholic religion classes, not some kind of broader religious education). Now most kids are signing out. Churches are emptying and were doing so well before Covid.

The institution of CC is very wealthy in Poland and well-connected to politicians (they command a lot of unquestioning votes), so that can perpetuate even after the last Catholic signs out.
I recently started a relatively complex machine learning project in Julia 1.6 and it’s been great so far. Occasionally the youthful nature of the language creates minor issues (eg fewer answers on stackoverflow) but overall it really has delivered on the promise of being very usable and productive for scientific computing and being fast and highly optimizable.
> anyone would be unhireable

So since you are defending the practice, please explain what is it about spending your entire career at a single company that makes you unemployable anywhere else.

And please don't assume that that means never learning anything new during 27 years.

Can you name another career where holding one job too long makes you unemployable, and where people actually defend this?
That's true, but the victim would immediately recognize something wrong when they boot into their system and find that none of their files are there and they're not connected to their company's VPN.

At that point, it's a race between how quickly the attackers can exploit temporary access to the CEO's network resources and how quickly the CEO and their IT folks figure out that they need to cut off the stolen laptop's network access and user credentials.
So sure. You can write software that can handle a simple Federal-only case. (Basically what used to be a 1040-EZ: W-2(s), a couple 1099s with all the cost basis info existing, standard deductions, etc.) But, at that point, your taxes are pretty simple to fill out anyway and I'm guessing there are even spreadsheet templates out there that let you type in some numbers and everything is calculated.
But mail is always priced at a fixed rate. What if your inbox worked on a bonding curve, such that as it filled up it became more expensive to send to (except for whitelisted addresses you approve)? What if your inbox required that the sender owned a particular NFT (proof of membership in a community)?

I mean there are infinite rules to play with in that sense. That's what excites me about crypto.
At the moment the cost of sending mail doesn't scale with the amount of mail you send. After spinning up a mail server the difference in cost between sending 1,000 and 10,000 emails is trivial.
If you say so. But just as you doubt the vigor of the “somewhat pessimistic” candidate (in your words, you didn’t say they were toxic), others will doubt the sincerity of your overwhelming optimism. So is life.
This is covered in TFA, please give it a read if you haven't and would like to take part in discussion.
Yikes Google! Fat is not the enemy. In fact without healthy fats you can not trigger the release of bile. You need bile to break down many nutrients into something usable. Instead of banning all fats, ban the bad fats and require healthy fats. By all means kill off the sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Fat adapted people can produce all the glucose they require through gluconeogenesis [1]. Salt is also not the enemy provided it is offset with the correct balance of potassium and not consumed in excess and you don't have stage four renal failure.

Most people don't plan to have downtime, but turns out even the biggest companies in the world can't achieve zero downtime.

Also, some changes are one off and significant (like some database changes), they will hopefully go smoothly, but it is hard to fully prepare for every possible issue.

Is snarkiness the new toxicity?

For all people complain today about the toxic cultures of old, maybe they say least had the advantage of people saying what they thought in plain terms, instead of dressing over them with sarcasm and hiding them in vagueness.

In a more relevant vein, I wonder how often too senior means too opinionated.
One thing I particularly appreciate from Udemy compared to other platforms is that there are many great (and not so great) courses covering obscure topics that are not available in Coursera, Edx, etc.
Backblaze + the Forever Version History feature essentially gives immutable backups of every version of a file, which is a hard counter to ransomware.
In the EU, the law is that merchants have to allow a return and refund for any online purchase unconditionally, provided that it was initiated within two weeks of purchase. I have never had any problems with this.
