What a slanted load of BS.

No matter your politics, all Americans can agree on 3 things:

1) Cutting in line is wrong;
2) People who shoot bald eagles are real a-holes;
3) the 2 industries that that get more expensive every year while providing worse service every year are cell phone networks and cable/internet providers.
Yeah, this is basically what I expect. Thanks for your insight.
do you mind sharing your thoughts on vue?

in particular, someone said react is better for building complex systems. do you agree with this opinion?
I was wondering whether it obeys robots.txt? I guess since it's using Bing, it obeys as well as Bing does?

Probably not even the model, but the preprocessing - MNIST-trained models expect all the digits to have the same preprocessing that MNIST had (because that's all they saw), so if you apply a MNIST-optimized model directly to user-generated input without e.g. resizing and re-centering the images (or, alternatively, a "robustized" model trained with various data augmentations), then you're going to have horrible results.
I appreciate your candid feedback about the OP's attitude at work. Especially, I like it when you, as an SDM, agree that majority of the people will be "average" and as long as they don't wreck-havoc the team, they should be appreciated, right?

> However! I will say that this way of working and living comes with some significant hazard to your mental health

I have a hard time believing that in this stage and age, especially in the US this is true. How do you justify working for a big corp big nice pay to support your family vs. getting a salary just to live by working for your life's mission? Do we just forego the opportunity cost from a bigger paycheck, not just for you but your family as well?
I think what OP is referring to is how fiddly it is to run a subprocess and capture the output. By the way, also super annoying in Java - you have to faff about with a thread (and you can't even really do that in python, which as much as I love the language, is quite pathetic) that drains stdout before it gets jettisoned by the OS, and in both cases long story short is that it's easy to write something that works when the output is short, but getting it to work on long output is an exercise in frustration. One neatly solved by plumbum, and so I'm definitely with OP it's use makes code measurably less shit.

I've heard there are some community projects out there to enable bluetooth keyboard support on those Remarkable tablets. That seems like the best of both worlds to me, especially since you can also move the tablet off and read it like a manuscript and mark it up with a pen.

Although the new iOS version's text-reader is pretty amazing. I wonder if I can just use a real typewriter and digitize the notes from there.
This parable is completely unrelated to the topic at hand unless you add in some catch like

> The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

> I don't catch them. I just go to one of the other fisherman's boats from my company and take a few of their tuna. That way they get up at 5am and work there asses off and all I have to do is carry a couple of their tuna in to earn a living.

Note: I didn't say he stole the tuna. All the tuna needs to be carried in. He just didn't do as much work as the others. He did the minimal work, "carrying in a few tuna", instead of the full work, "spending hours catching tuna and also carrying them all in".

The OP isn't running their own business. If they were sure, they could decide to only work enough to pay the bills and enjoy the extra time. Instead the OP is at a company. If they're not doing the work then others are probably picking up the slack and the OP's possibly effectively riding off their work. I get that's harder to account the larger the company but it becomes very clear on small team or small company.
I'm always surprised you have the time to respond in these threads, jgrahamc.
That's the spirit! It's amazing how much crap people are able to tolerate.
> This method is not very scrum friendly, because in truth I'm actually brain-working all of my tickets at the same time, but I haven't shifted any electrons, just neurons.

This really highlights why I hate agile so much. Intellectual work doesn't lead itself to reporting status on completed tickets every single day.

For an economically rational actor, they'd have to compare the costs of the hotfix (not free) and the costs of writing it themselves (takes at least some amount of dev time, which costs money). Unless of course there is some other open source dev who makes their patch available for free.
They are a financial company and the market has been insane over the past year.

We're using django-stubs and we've been pretty happy with it. We've started the project with it, which was fairly simple. There's one or two model field types that are not supported but those can be skipped. We're using pre-commit to run mypy, this makes sure that we never commit a state that isn't type-checked.
Cloudflare had some issues, maybe its related.
I am not sure what you mean by “bail out”. When something gets stolen from you, the government doesn’t repay you for the actual amount. They do pay to litigate/make litigation possible. That is part of the societal contract - if you own something and someone takes it from you, the court system exists so you have legal means of restitution. I don’t really care about whether that’s good or not to apply to crypto, I am merely pointing out that it does.

Just want to say that I am the same as pretty much everything you said. Job is to make for a good life.

I will also say, most discussion usually paints the devs not working as much as less productive, whether explicitly or implicitly. But that isn't necessarily true either. I'm the top contributor for this calendar year at my company (public but not F500, about 100 developers) but averaging ~4 hours a day of actual work.
The internet is ruthless, yes, it goes overboard easily. But, whoever came up with the idea to do LDAP queries from your logs should be ashamed right now. I would be mortified if that was me. I would consider changing my profession.

So wait, go has handle errors by returning them, but it also doesn't force you to actually handle all return values? I thought that was the entire point of implementing error handling like that.

Neat idea, but any reason why I can't also pipe the output to an existing terminal (ie, tmux-esque faux terminal resizing)?

Also, is this the company that forced the Electron-based terminal named Tabby to switch names?

Also, any reason terminals keep re-using the name of the old bitmap font that all of us Linux users back in the early 00s used? Terminus is a great font.

collect a load of transactions (somehow): by this you mean the mempool. the implementation is client dependent, it uses the p2p network to receive new txs, thats what you need to look at to know how to "get txs from the network". some implementations have better documentation. if you need to look at code i would recommend the go implementation https://github.com/btcsuite just because it looks cleaner to me.

validate them: your best resource for this is code. your client needs to keep old consensus code around and use it to verify block under the older rules (your client will do a full sync at some point)

rules for formatting a transactions and blocks (and a byte by byte explanation) can be found on https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ as mentioned (probably will be up soon)

keep changing a certain bit of the block until SHA256(f(SHA256(block))) is low enough (with some f: digest → bitstring): yes. you set the block nonce to mine. finding a block means that the hash256() operation (sha256(sha256(block))) returns an hash with at least D (either left or right most, can't recall right now) bits set to 0, where D is the current difficult, which is adjusted by the network to make the 10min/block average time

They're not mutually exclusive, as I said in my comment. They are additive, and, especially without a commute, deep involvement in one doesn't preclude the same in the other.
Plumbum is great but I actually use the bang notation in Jupyter even more.

Actually, for me Jupyter (I use lab but I'm sure NB is amazing too) is the tool that boosts my productivity the most. (And omg vim mode.)
This is roughly how actual polyamorous dating pools work. If anything, the bottom of the distribution has a more difficult time in polyamorous settings.
>like the need to "ultimately trust" keys before they become usable

Did you have to do that manually at one time? All the keypairs that I make start out that way when created.

When creating a keypair for pass all you have to do is generate the key using defaults while remembering a bit of the user ID to give to pass.
Yeah, I read the website and the entire spec. I think it's pretty good, but it's built by big names for big names. There's nothing wrong with that, but I'm concerned it might not be appropriate for things like quickly pointing a simple A Record at a self-hosted open source service. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm having a good discussion with the spec developers here: https://github.com/Domain-Connect/spec/issues/64

I have no idea what Termius is, but I have some feedback for you — your landing page takes over 4 seconds (!) to show anything for me on Firefox, even if I have visited the page before. This doesn't seem to be related to loading resources alone, since that happens fairly fast.

Who knows if it is incompetence or luck. Performance is always relative. The truth is, you are probably are contributing more value than others on your team.

Not really but getting to know Go is not on the list of my priorities.

Looked at examples. Many languages use angle brackets for generics and templates but in case of Go they had to do it their own way and use square brackets that most programmers would perceive as an array. Funny.

This, one thousands times.

The borrow checker forces you to write in the very narrow subset of code paradigms it can understand. When it fails to compile, it doesn't mean it's wrong: it means that it can't prove that it's correct, which is a completely different statement.

The compute platform is commodity. Even Accenture has a cloud.

The brand name holds little weight outside of developer communities. But developers are exactly the group that will happily shop around alternatives. The App Store had power because of consumer buy-in, not dev buy-in.

I've noticed government departments have become bad for this in Canada. It's crazy. Who runs these sites?

https://www.ehealthontario.ca
https://ehealthontario.on.ca

A long time ago everything used to be split provincially and you could register private domains under the `.on.ca` namespace [1], so there's not a guarantee a `.on.ca` site is a government website AFAIK.

I don't understand the aversion to subdomains. Assuming the government owns `canada.ca`, I'd rather see things like:

ehealth.on.canada.ca
ehealth.bc.canada.ca

That makes it easier to determine if a website is government run or not by looking at the URL.

Also, all the government websites use super expensive OV TLS certificates. I don't get that either.

You may be correct, but I think not, for the reasons laid out in the following commentaries.

From https://www.bibleref.com/Genesis/6/Genesis-6-3.html#commenta...

This is another fascinating verse which has been interpreted through several different perspectives over the years. It falls in the middle of a paragraph describing how a group known as the "sons of God" took human wives who gave birth to a generation of famous "mighty men."

Taken in direct context, this verse seems to declare that God will not let humans continue to lead such long lives. Perhaps the children of the "sons of God" and human women would otherwise have gone on living an extraordinarily long time. Or perhaps God is merely saying that even the normal lifespan of humans was too long, given the evil that is taking place on the earth. Considering how much evil man is capable of with a lifetime of less than a century, the capacity for evil over many centuries is immense.

In either case, God says that He will not allow His Spirit to remain in man forever. God's Spirit, in this sense, seems to be His "breath of life." Humans cannot live without God's Spirit or life-force; we are dependent on God to continue to exist. Now God declares that He will place a natural limit of 120 years on that mortal existence. Looking at life spans for those born after the flood, this seems to be the case. While not a literal maximum, life spans after the flood rapidly decrease until few live longer than 100 years.

Some have offered an alternate explanation for this verse: that God is declaring His judgment will come on the earth 120 years from the time of this pronouncement. That could be. It is also true, though, that eventually human lifespans decreased to a maximum of approximately 120 years. Joseph, for instance, lives to be 110. Moses lives to be exactly 120 years old, while his brother Aaron lives to be 123.

--------------------

From https://biblehub.com/commentaries/genesis/6-3.htm:-

My spirit shall not always strive with man.—The meaning of this much-contested clause is really settled by the main purpose and context of the verse, which is the Divine determination to shorten human life. Whether, then, God’s spirit be the animating breath spoken of in Genesis 2:7; Genesis 7:22, whereby human life is sustained, or the spiritual part of man, his conscience and moral sense—God’s best gift to him—in opposition to his flesh, the struggle henceforward is not to be indefinitely prolonged. In the first case, the struggle spoken of is that between the elements of life and death in the body; in the second, it refers to the moral probation to which man is subject. The versions generally take the former meaning, and translate “shall not dwell,” or “abide “; but there is much in favour of the rendering “shall strive,” though the verb more exactly means to rule, preside over, sit as judge. Literally, then, it signifies that the Divine gift of life shall not rule in man “for ever;” that is, for a period so protracted as was antediluvian life.
It sounds like you have a soul-crushing job where you don’t care about what you are doing or the people you work with. I’d find a new job or career path, as that sounds miserable.

I personally wish for a 4 day work week that lasts 36 hours, but I could not stand to be that disengaged every single day.

And for what it’s worth, I’ve had developers like that on my team several times, and it doesn’t last forever. Either they get a new manager or new responsibilities, and it becomes obvious. Management eventually pushes them to work harder, and they invariably leave on their own.

They started out as a bookstore but Bezos had experience in finance, they quickly sold media, and the warehouses were nothing like other bookstores and it looks like it was more a base for larger operations that didn’t anticipate staying a bookstore, the same way their online functionality didn’t stop at a website, AWS and selling other stuff came fast.

Sure they were a bookstore first but they over engineered it to scale.

"Less haste more speed"

Maybe part of it is that when you do do something, it actually counts. And you don't waste time in perfectionism or ideology.

This would make you a 10x developer, but it mightn't scale up to a 40 hour week, because the non-working time will partly be used to assess what is really necesaary.
Trust me, this also applies to smaller companies.

The thing that makes me worthless is that I've been repeatedly screwed and don't have faith that any company will stick to their word and be fair. I've realized the carrot is tied to a stick that keeps moving away.
Hm. Interesting. Thanks for commenting, it might prove worth trying at least.
It took some growing up on my part to realize the fundamental value in "If you do something, do it well".

I used to be very much in favor of "getting by" and a "good enough is good enough" mentally. After all, it's the rational point of view. Why work more, if you can work less?
But the truth of the matter is that once you put your entire being into something, you immediately find value in it. Anything you do fully, however menial, magically becomes worthwhile and fills you with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Atleast that's my experience. If you want a random person's advice, I'd say try it out and see for yourself.
