I can highly recommend control theory to all software engineers designing high throughput systems.

It is sometimes super useful to think about large systems with high traffic of requests/messages as something that can be controlled.
I am really confused by this post. It definitely sounds that the senior developer might be a bit older thand the poster and might have a different opinion on how to do certain things. There is definitely the need for some conversations.

The critique is a mixed bag in my eyes, there are some things in there I wouldn't consider a bad thing. Like file size. Yes, you shouldn't literally put everything into a single file, but there are some pros and cons about it. Editors are usually really good about handling large files, but often not so good on working on lots of small files. Code which belongs together, should be together. I certainly think that the habit of having lots of files with just a few lines of code in each is a bad one. As with many things, the trick is to find the best balance.

Same with variable names. The closer the scope, the more they are used, the shorter they should be. Again, of course, with taste. Calling a loop variable i is actually a good practise, especially if it is an index. With nested loops that becomes a bit more careful to do. Of course anything with a large scope or infrequent uses across the code, should have a long and descriptive name.
That sounds like advanced depression
Then what happened to Parler?

Certainly we all know in China there is little speech freedom, I don't need to compare to it. (And I did test it and my family well survived till now)

What I was saying is what happened to Trump's supporters seriously damaged my belief in US's ideology.
It was not appropriate. It makes him look foolish. If some tech bro's opinion is irrelevant then Melnyk should have just ignored it.
I've been working through a basic implementation over the weekend [0] in Go. I am skipping dynamic cluster management and log compaction/snapshots. I mostly got leader election working and the basics of log replication. But it's not yet correct because nodes that are down when new messages come in are not correctly brought up to date. :D Still working through issues. When it's less buggy I'll write a post.

If you haven't read the paper, just try it out [1]! It's pretty approachable as far as these things go. It even includes its own cheatsheet inside the paper at Figure 2 (page 4).

Herd immunity is most effective when most of a population is immune. Less so when anti-vaxxers ensure we don't reach that point.
I wouldn't trust a corporation of this size to make sure there aren't recurring bugs which cause scanning of things I have on my device, but do not upload to their servers. If the code for scanning, flagging me and reporting to authorities is on the device, then I expect bugs (intentional or not) which will trigger it, even though I don't use iCloud. Put the scanning in the cloud, then I'll be fine with it - I don't use the cloud.

Also the scanning was calculating hashes based on content, not just metadata.
Not exactly.

> To be fair - wasn't that scanning on-device, and only uploading metadata on things that you yourself were already uploading to their cloud?

On-device scanning like that would be pointless, though. IIRC, stuff uploaded to their cloud is already accessible to Apple for server-side scanning. The controversial thing was the on-device scans would trigger some kind of upload of un-uploaded stuff to Apple for further investigation.
It did disappear from your library, it just wasn't auto-uninstalled from your system. But you can never ever download/install it again. That's why systems that have it installed already go for so much money on eBay.
They mention the obvious medical uses like spray-on casts and spray-on bandages, but what about spray-on physical restraints? Or spray-on condoms? Get creative, think outside the box.

Yeah, it's a stretch. Applying stuff to your body that then cures or hardens is not new but I guess in the past it's always been for molds (sculpture, prosthetics) but in this case the 3 dimensional thing is the direct result, not an intermediate step. I would like to see something a bit more than skin-tight clothing to call it a real 3D production process.

I do think it's cool, though. My body is too crap to pull somehting like this off, sadly.

I also wondered why the model and the person who applies the spray-on dress on her do not wear some kind of protective mask (like varnishers do for their varnishing work) while the spraying work is being done.
It seems like even if they rule that 230 doesn’t protect this recommended content then it would still be protected by the first amendment (youtube videos unlikely to be “imminent” enough to qualify as incitement).

So what would happen then? Content is still protected by 230, but only if there's no recommendation algorithm, but what about an algorithm that only culls content from an otherwise chronological timeline?
At the company I work they just built their „Landing Zone“ as AWS calls it with all the on-prem connectivity, shared VPCs, Product Catalogs, IAM restrictions to the moon and so on and every team gets their own account linked to that one. It‘s an enormous amount of work to get all of that to work nicely together but when it works it‘s very nice and allows for a great way to partition responsibilities. For smaller deployments I think you will be in a mess pretty fast when you start doing cross-account things without enough planning ahead. But per-project accounts? Sure!
That is a multi party collaborarion problem.

Some affiliates make it very simple, affiliate links. Sure , there are some fraudulent tricks, on both sides, but it is manageable.

The ad networks are never interested in implementing any such thing, they only show how "configurable" their setrings are.

When asked where is the traffic coming from, "sorry,we cant disclose".which is funny, we would see later on anyway, right?

Then other networks provide you with a list upfront.

None or few of them have retargeting.

When asking them straight up "ok , you own my product, how would you use your network to generate conversions rather than impressions?" .It is all suddenly silent.

I have other,more qualified revenues, they are expensive but they deliver on cpa, else they are not paid.
But they are the dearest, of course, so my boss is considering alternative revenue channels, even though they are the very least specifc and totally useless. He is the one impressed by rhe config options, I try to assign most spend away from such.

We are speaking spending 5k on some impressions campaign with absolutelly zero sign up or first time depositors.

For this money, you can pay a youtuber with regularly 200k legit views and say 30k my product views to create 8-10 10 minute videos, qhich actually converts.
Interesting, you're the second person to ask about this! Is there something in Django world that makes standalone application appealing?
Not that we, or rather I, mowed our lawn often, at most ince every 3-4 weeks or so. This year, we decided to leave part of it to grow. The amount of insects in there was astounishing, so the patch stayed uncut between June and two weeks ago. The rain transfromed it ibto something less than pretty. Turned out the grass underneath is prettier than before. Next we gonna repeat the same thing with a different patch.
I feel like we are talking about different things.

I'm talking about not having kids/pets (which is applicable to everyone) as a choice to make for more flexibility where as you are talking about careers.

Also you're talking about good VS bad choices. I don't think having kids is necessarily bad or good, it just depends on what you want or priorities are.
I don't really understand the criticism when the alternative is letting the dems continue to censor conservative opinions freely by having the lgbt crowd and the race warriors call everything hatespeech or racist.
To play devil's advocate...if you believe Apple really stands by their privacy values, why wouldn't they start an ads business? If they feel they can deliver ads and protect customer data, they should start an ad business. They owe it to shareholders and to their customers.

If they don't do it, someone else will, and they ultimately don't trust third parties with their customers' data (also being a massive corporation, they don't like other companies generating revenue off the backs of their customers).

If you believe Apple is genuine about their commitment to privacy, this should be encouraging news. If you don't believe that, then this does appear to be questionable at best (boxing out third parties so they can profit off the data themselves)

I'd like to note for other commenters that no one has actually answered the question being asked. Not to speak for the OP but the spirit of the question in my mind has more to do with how long before you reach the minimum threshold of proficiency to honestly say you know a given language.
You only need semi-structure. Walk the dog every morning. Take out the trash at night. Read for a little while before bed. Call mom every Saturday. The exact times and durations don’t matter and won’t be known beforehand.

I made the mistake of trying to organize a master plan for how I would live my days. In my experience, it just doesn’t work out the way you plan it. Daily life is too chaotic.

I now use a much simpler approach instead. 8am, 12pm, 4pm, 8pm. These are the times by which I need to get something done.

For example, 8am: Walk the dog. By 8, it should be done. If it gets done before 7, even better. If it gets done at 8:10, start earlier tomorrow. 12pm: Fold the laundry. 4pm: Go to the store, call mom, read. 8pm: Make dinner, take out the trash.

When you are comfortable with how many tasks you assign yourself, add more tasks. But don’t go crazy when you’re just starting off. Keeping one habit is better than flirting with five.
This is a misreading of history. China was truly and properly fucked for centuries by Western powers and the Japanese. A lot of what we read as aggression stems from a deep desire to avoid the humiliation of the Opium Wars again. The West has forgotten about them but China, with the reminder of Hong Kong right there, certainly has not.
They didn’t say what happens on MacOS stays on MacOS.

I disagree. Incrementality studies (which measure ROI) as advertisers want them are basically impossible with ATT. You need to be able to pass an ID between apps.
That's a very American view on prices. Multiply those by 10 for Brazil.

It's cheaper to fly to America and buy game consoles or PC hardware and fly back than it is to buy them in Brazil. Just be sure to hide your price tags from customs (or have a nice little bribe ready)

That's interesting, and it does make sense -- if you're not using opiates, tiny residues of fentanyl can be very dangerous.

You would think that dealers would be more careful than that -- killing your customers is bad for business -- but it makes way more sense than intentionally cutting fentanyl into pot.

For reference, uber now has a 3:1 ratio of debt to equity. Lyft is closer to 4.
The one common thread is that neither Lyft nor Uber drivers have any idea how they get paid, or why they got paid $X instead of $Y even though the customer said they're paying $ZZ for the ride.

My anecdotal experience recently is that Uber is much better at communicating a lot of hand wavy reasons why it's not them that are impacting their net pay $random_government_entity taking all your money. Or I've just gotten some especially out there drivers recently.

They cared enough to keep searching for my keywords, to click on my ads, but then they realized they were not interested and bounced?

Also, like I said, the traffic the ads generated was good (it generated prospects fitting the profile I was targeting, and I was happy with the numbers), so yes, the ads were effective.
A dozen goats is not a lot. Shelter you can build yourself and you just need enough so they have an escape from the sun & snow. Farmers do most of the medical care themselves except for the rare instances where you need to call the vet, e.g., we just had to put a horse down a couple of weeks ago.

Food is the most important one because it's an non-stop expense, but it's not unmanageable since it scales directly with the number of animals.
Lyft seems like a great candidate for Tesla to acquire and eventually replace with their autonomous fleet. But Elon is busy winning the culture wars atm.
Love it! More and more consumer-friendly tools using SD/Midjourney/DALLE where it just "feels like magic" is so exciting, like twofergoofer.com and other games sprouting up.
Yup, and even in non-CV/NLP tasks where a DL model is a good choice, there's nothing pre-trained to start from. Tabular datasets vary too much from datum to datum.

Felt | Engineering Manager, Data | Oakland, CA or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

We are on the lookout for an hands-on engineering manager for our data team. Felt makes giant geospatial datasets a breeze to work with and we are currently building our next-generation of our data stack on AWS. The team you'll be managing is full of expert engineers from Facebook, Carto, Mapbox, and Uber. We recently launched a major new product that allows you to use Felt's tools with any dataset [2] and have hired Erica Fischer, the author of the industry-defining Tippiecanoe tool.

We are well-funded and just raised our $15M Series A. You can read more about it our funding here [3], and our announcement here [4]. Our terms are employee-friendly terms such as early exercise, a 10-year exercise window and even a matching 401(k).[5]

If you are an experienced manager, please reach out via hello @ felt.com!

I’m not conspiratorial about this, but I’m confident that an article like “Google doesn’t actually serve you all the results” drives more clicks, engagement, and outrage than “literally no sufficiently large search tool gives you all the results, including Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, GitHub, the Library of Congress, etc.”
Maybe it’s not toxic, Occam.
Reading up on the stuff that's actually coming out of the can, it doesn't look like there are particles that are small enough to actually aerosolize into the air. They tout wool and mohair as candidate things that can be sprayed.
They aren't just scamming the investors, they are scamming the drivers. Most drivers barely break even (if even that) driving for these services, but they are starting to catch on. It's not worth it for drivers, so there aren't enough drivers, so the customer experience is getting worse. If they paid well enough to actually compensate for the wear and depreciation on the driver's car, and also compensate the driver for his labor, they would be even less profitable.

There's a group working in the Columbia River basin, and they've seen good results both from just setting beavers loose. They've seen positive but lesser results from man-made bespoke beaver dams, but of note is that in some cases the beavers adopted a man-made dam and completed it, which may help smooth the path for reintroduction in places where Illusion of Control sufferers paint beavers as anarchists. We would prefer the beaver dams be here, here and here, so we will try to coax them into doing just that.

Part of my statements above come from their work, and if memory serves, they made an off-hand comment in one of their reports about wanting to try the same thing in the Colorado. The Columbia is in good enough shape that we've removed dams to restore salmon spawning grounds. The Colorado is a fucking mess, but it's not in 'hippy dippy' states where funding is easier to come by.
I've never used Google Voice so I cannot say about that. Where I'm at you can buy a cheap phone for like $20 and it comes with a prepaid SIM that never expires. I have about 10 of those on a drawer on my desk LOL, it goes well with the hacker vibe B). Funny thing is I don't have them labeled, so when I need it I have to turn on all of them to see which one gets an SMS.

For email, my domain provider handles email for me as well, I have a Google Workspace account and first thing I do when I set up an email is to link it there so I have a single Inbox for everything. (Although my real Inbox is the Spam folder, where a lot of genuine emails land now).
