Ehhh, I call BS. If for some reason all of a cities property records were lost, they would rebuild them via community testimony and consensus at worst case. Which clearly demonstrates it works in the opposite direction of what you are implying. Also property ownership tends to have inherit utility, something bit coin does not.
In fact, just google "VR Injuries" and you'll see way more examples then say happened with the nintendo wii, pre strap, a change they made because they concluded without it the wii was too dangerous and lawsuit prone. The original wii has nothing on current state VR. If it became any where near as widespread as the wii did with it's current implementation, there would certainly be a few more entries to the Darwin awards...
I could def see being shoeless helping things out. However, by definition most of these VR systems are wired into a computer on or near desk. I could easily see someone tangle and then trip over the wire and then hit their head on the desk.
Personally, I think the biggest problem with VR is that it's downright dangerous. I tried a professionally setup and monitored demo of HTC vive inside of a Microsoft store, and walked into the wall. They needed somebody with you to help make sure you didn't get tangled in the wires - during a 15 minute demo! And people still did, repeatedly. Until there aren't cords and something like the Omni treadmill comes around to handle movement without physically moving - I just think it's not practical or safe as a technology for games other then flight and driving simulators.
It's hard to overstate how easy it is to have better prices when you are operating at a loss. They're still in the "fake it till you make it stage" as is evident by their buying from other stores to then ship to consumers.
Jet is a joke. People use them only because they sell things at a loss through coupon codes. I only ever see someone talk about them on discount sites, explicitly saying to start a new account just to get the coupon code again. A lot of the things they "shipped" they literally just ordered from other stores that then shipped to the customer. I ordered two things from them, one was ordered and then shipped via New Egg, the other Home Depot.
This was my experience: I felt sick after living in Seattle for about 2 years. Went to a few clinics / then primary care and was told essentially that it was in my head: couldn't find any medical causes said it may be anxiety. I actually started to believe them even though I've never had any sort of tendency to question my own health and have always been a markedly relaxed person even in stressful situations. I dropped it, but eventually, I got a UTI (unrelated) and went to zoomcare for that. They asked about my medical history and based on it they recommended the screening. It turned out my levels were extremely low even though I was already taking 1400 IU of Vitamin D a day on my own as a preventive measure after moving here. A dose of antibiotics and 50000 IU a week + 4000 IU a day for a few months and both problems are now resolved.
I often feel like a lot of problems diagnosed as "psychosomatic" illnesses are caused by bad nutrition or even lack of sun. As an example: A lot of people I know recently got sick after living in Seattle for a few years and it ended up being that at least a portion of the cause was severe Vitamin D deficiency. Kind of obvious, but also something that most doctors don't seem to check. When you look up the symptoms of various vitamin deficiencies they have wide spread and hard to pinpoint symptoms - including random neuropathy. I feel like it might be wise to for doctors to suggest to patients they see a nutritionist or to check their vitamin levels if the only diagnosis is "psychosomatic". At the very least the person might end up generally healthier after the experience.
Well I didn't cite because we don't have any. I mean really we have basically no Coffee [1]. I mean, TBH, we are a boring bland place with only big box shops - no record stores or anything unique [2]. You should really just drive through and pay no attention.
Yes, exactly, don't come here! No public transit. No massive collection of rapid rides[0], no growing light rail system[1], and no bus usage just below San Fran and growing [2]. And certainly no huge and growing collection of bike trails [3]. Really there's just rain and coffee here. At least it's some good coffee.
Yes because the bay area doesn't have earthquakes... Honestly, you are much less likely to die in Seattle's only real weather threat, then the myriad of unsafe conditions in other parts of the country.
From what I've heard from friends at big companies, the primary variable in the merit process is your current Salary - it does take the other things into account, but almost never enough to make as much of a difference as your current Salary. That's why people stress that it's so important to negotiate your starting salary higher, and not expect to get paid better once in the company.
Because you're working for the same company, in the Seattle office. Additionally, a lot of the difference is from income taxes that you no longer pay - something that companies take into account when making the initial offer, but not generally when doing transfers.
It's much easier to justify keeping the salary with a move to Seattle, since the pay rate difference isn't as large. It's also much easier to then find a new programming job if you lose one in Seattle.
While this is a decent stop gate measure, I think Microsoft could remove this issue in its entirety in a way that's not overly intrusive: Every time you plug in a new device open up a dialog that says "We have detected a new {x} device and will activate it in 10... 9 ... seconds" with an option to activate right away, block the device, or approve for automatic activation in the future. This way you would notice if you plugged in what you thought was a usb stick, and it showed up as keyboard to block the device before you encountered an issue. On the same token if your main keyboard broke, and you had to replace it, you could do so without having to restart your computer.
Well my point is that positive, doesn't actually mean positive - there could be more meetups about coffee because there are less good coffee places to consume it. To illustrate this point: I would intuitively expect there to be more pro life meetups in a liberal area and more pro choice in a conservative one - since the norm is baked into society and people don't feel the need to meet up about what everyone agrees to. A much better approach would be to use existence of business that support said aspect of a city.
I think meetup.com is a fairly poor data source for these kind of questions - even if the data was normalized. Interested in Coffee? Seattle is better then NY, but is way less likely to have meetups dedicated to it since they are just baked into the culture - so theres a higher probability that the unrelated meetup you will be hosted at a local coffee shop.
Your right I'm making assumptions in your favor, it just so happens the size of places people buy tend to be much larger then the ones they rent. In fact it's hard to even find many 2 bedroom rooms for rent in Seattle while they are the norm for condos. As someone who's recently bought in Seattle I've looked in most of the in demand areas (Fremont, Ballard, Capital Hill, Green Lake, Wallingford, Revenna, and Belltown) - and across the board it's significantly cheaper based on your guidelines to buy. So unless your talking about the same exact building - or maybe only new building I would be very surprised to find out otherwise. (
Great point! Just looked it up and the last information I could find showed just below $500 as the average HOA in Seattle. In theory based on the original guidelines you still end up ahead - but it's very close. I recently bought a SFH in Seattle and it ended up way in my favor over renting for things people choose not to include in the other direction (having to pay for parking, having to pay per pet, etc)
This is very interesting to me, because the median rent in Seattle just crossed $2K while the median condo price just reached $410K. Since you said your ignoring all the extras and just talking about payments after 20% down - that means with the current median 3.28% interest rate in Washington for 30 YR loan you would only be paying $1,433 a month way lower. Sounds like either your math is bad or you just have a good deal :)
Documentation is the projects highest priority at this point, as it has most of the features people need when creating an API, is battle tested in several production systems, and is highly configurable / extendable for anything missing. We're taking the time now to write down all the "hows" and hope to make video tutorials soon as well.
I appreciate the feedback, and I think your probably right. I'll go back to the drawing board a bit and see how I can make it look more serious and professional, while not quite as boring and plain as the Flask page.
I couldn't disagree with this more. Just because you have 100 days of "coding" straight, doesn't mean it's just coding. It could be docs or anything else that's required. And most of those days look light. This is more like getting a habbit formed, then actually working 7 days a week. I mean look at my commit log: https://github.com/timothycrosley/, I plan on doing this the rest of my life. In reality, I've been coding every single day since I was 8. I'm now 26.
That's not how things work when using any WSGI based framework, the SSL part should be handled by either uwsgi / gunicorn or nginx. Development servers (hug or Flask or any other) should basically never be used directly. Examples can, and should be done using HTTP to allow local testing.
I would be more then happy to answer your questions!
1) Is HUG "production ready?": YES! Several large companies have emailed me or chatted with the community for support for their already in production APIs. Based on my communications for instance, I know for a fact that one API hosted with hug is leveraged by at least 10 fortune 100 companies.
2) I have several projects, that I continue to support like isort which are several years old. I don't abondon projects, and hug is already at the point where it isn't my project but a community project which has upwards of 16 contributors already.
The real reason to use hug instead of Django is because your code and therefore your liability and maintance cost will be drastically lower. In every example where I've ported or seen an API ported it's been upwards of 90% code reduction. In several cases even if hug just all the sudden went away, your cost for maintaining hug itself would still be smaller then using code developed on-top of Django. It's a major enough improvement not to be able to be ignored.
kstrauser: Hug supports marshmallow! Right now, you can use Marshmallow types out of the box for any API call just set the Marshmallow type as the type after the annotation and it will work and validate as expected :)
