> In that case can't you protect yourself from shellscripts in other JS projects by checking if it calls this function?
I think you would have to intercept the function call itself to secure that. Any malicious code can just build the name at runtime from any number of strings, possibly conditional that it only acts malicious once a year to make detection near impossible. One of the recent malicious npm packages had the name of its target hidden behind encryption and only in the minimized version of the code and that only got caught because the minimized code called a deprecated API.

Nobody is suggesting turning a blind eye, but the majority of use cases for this kind of thing have nothing to do with Big Brother. Commodities traders are already the biggest consumer of geospatial imaging services and finance guys are among the most voracious consumers of cutting edge computer tech. It would be very surprising to me if nobody was already applying machine learning to gain an advantage in commodities trading. It would be like having a time machine telling you what markets are going to be doing in 1-2 days or however long it takes human analysts to come up with their recommendations.

The rage and vitriol in these comments is quite fun to read. People dissecting these videos for any opinions they disagree with or claiming it's all a waste of time because you could read a book.
&#x200B;
Videos are just another channel to get some knowledge. They're often a great springboard into deeper learning, and they help expose you to opinions you might not agree with (which is a good thing).
&#x200B;
Thanks, OP. Ignore the haters.

I see what you're trying to do, but you accidentally failed and did ask why, so I'll answer. :)
The main issue is that you're asking me to do work upfront. When you ask a question, you want to make it as easy as possible for the person to respond by giving as much information as possible. That has two extra advantages: It shows that you've made some effort to resolve the issue yourself and it helps the answerer know if they are indeed the right person to answer the question.
Asking to ask provides no information and just wastes people's time. (And is a red flag that a low quality question is incoming)

I think IMC has some strategy code in Java, but Nasdaq and LMAX are probably the best examples of low latency trading systems in Java, albeit on the exchange side. I believe the original Direct Edge system was written in C#, but that system was moved to C++ after BATS acquired it.

The first problem is that portable binaries that do anything non-trivial are less portable than anticipated, especially if you want to do a GUI or anything related to background services. The second problem is that supposedly sandboxed runtimes often have bugs that allow the runtime's limitations to be escaped, and side channel attacks can be used even when the isolation is otherwise perfect - as we've seen over and over again with Java and JavaScript.

So I could describe myself as a biologist. And while it is true that
they have little training normally, this is NOT the reason why the
documentation is bad.
90% of that reason has to do with laziness.
There are exceptions of course, where there is high quality
information (e. g. https://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/download/sourcecode/2_4_x/ViennaRNA-2.4.10.tar.gz ) but these came from people who primarily
studied informatics (or physics and chemistry), only secondarily
biologists (or even third, since bioinformatics also come in prior
to biologists, including molecular biologists).
> making the lives of researchers significantly harder than they need to be
A lot of the software is "publish once, then forget it". This is awful.
It's only use case is then limited for adding the citation counter.
> A previous Ten Simple Rules article has described the virtues of
> using Git for your code
You don't need tools to COMPENSATE for laziness - you need
good work ethics; or strategies how to deal with the boring shit
that is writing documentation (it's really boring). I have no
glorious way to solve this problem; I only try to write little
documentation so that it does not bore me too much, then
move on; and continue with it at some later time.
This does not lead to the best results, but it doesn't kill my
motivation, which is better in the long run.
And I also disagree with the "there can be too much documentation".
No. There can not.
High quality information and documentation is ALWAYS useful.
And if people complain about line noise, they can always filter
the source code via tools that eliminate comments anyway, so
I never understand these complaints.
> As an example of a bioinformatics library that is doing a particularly good
> job at version controlling their documentation, look at khmer, which has
> a thorough changelog containing new features, fixed bugs (separated by
> whether they are relevant to users or developers), known issues,
> and
And how many people sift through that?
I have no real interest in old code, unless there may be some reason for
that e. g. functionality that existed but was then removed; so perhaps I
may pick that code and improve on it. But this is rare compared to most
other times when I really don't have any interest in a detailed changelog
etc...
In the past I kept changelogs too but how many people are interested in
these really?

True positive rate is a synonym for recall, which was stated as 90%. Precision was 93% which is true positive / (true positive + false positive).
I think you're confusing true negative rate with false negative rate. True negative rate is correctly identifying no solar panel when there is none. The reason you don't report that is the set is highly imbalanced (the vast majority of houses don't contain a solar panel), so it's better to use precision-recall instead.

ITS YOU! I really enjoyed your video! I found your channel through your SIM-card explanation video were you said at the end you would give more info about mobile networking so I scrolled through all your videos and found this one I shared. It might have been posted here before but I wondered if it was a while ago since it is a year old video and really good info, especially since I've seen a lot of hate towards StackOverflow about "bad answers" and lots of downvotes on bad questions.

No, We do not know what the true negative rate is because the Precision/Recall statistic does not capture true negatives.
Precision = (True Positives) / (True Positives + False Positives). Basically, of what you said was a positive, how many where actually positive. If the precision is 93%, that means that (on average), if they say 100 images have solar panels, 93 of them would and 7 would not.
Recall = (True Positives) / (True Positives + False Negatives). In other words, of the cases where there was a true positive, how many did you detect. If the recall is 90%, that means if you are shown 100 images with solar panels, it will say 90 of them have solar panels and 10 do not.

This is Slate - a socialist publication pushing the agenda that everyone is equally clever because they are unique and deserve success no matter that one kid put effort into learning hard and somewhat boring things while the other "embraced curiosity"
And I am a developer who is not going to teach his kids to code. I will teach them math.

I'm a scientist, and I will teach my kids to program. Not because I expect them to become professional developers, but because it is a tool for expressing thoughts rigorously. Also because they will need to have some basic understanding of what developers do. I don't consider it to be "the new literacy" -- it's more like algebra.

True negative would be when the house has no panel and the AI detects no panel.
When evaluating a machine learning model people usually talk about "precision" and "recall".

Congratulations on being a "senior" developer or whatever it is you're using to justify the utter elitism that you've used to butter up your personal preferences.
I am a professional software developer, in a "senior" position where I am responsible for the professional development and mentorship of juniors (not to measure dicks because the term "senior" is completely subjective - but I'm trying to speak your language here).
I'm fully capable of reading. It's how I intake a majority of new information. I have the skills necessary to sift through the mountain of bullshit on the Internet and determine primary / authoritative sources. I've used enough technologies to have a sense for the 'right' and 'wrong way to do things - even in unfamiliar settings.
I've also taught coding / 'software engineering' in various settings, to 4 year olds and all the way to undergraduate university students. I have a hobbyist interest in education (both in regards to teaching development, and more generally).
A big takeaway from my experience, and the wealth of information available that's been observed and recorded by people way smarter than either of us, is that different people learn differently. Your elitist generalisaiton goes against a consensus within the education community.
I myself—who really has to be scraping the bottom of the barrel in my day-to-day work if I'm reading anything other than official documentation or framework / runtime source code—sometimes prefer video-based learning depending on the circumstances. If I am diving in and learning new concepts, I sometimes prefer to have someone explain it to me using their voice and a slide deck while I sit back and mull it over. That's just how I—and plenty of other people—work. You are getting in way over your head if you're trying to "rank" learning styles based on some experience you've had at work.
Your real issue is with the overall quality of information people consume, and how primary / authoritative information on a subject filters down through dozens of intermediary blog posts (being corrupted and misinterpreted at every step), all the way down to "it technically works, but it's extremely incorrect" Medium thinkpieces, cheap Udemy courses, and Stack Overflow answers.
Other than the fact that primary / authoritative sources are far less likely to be audiovisual (maybe conference talks and professionally produced videos if the tech you're learning has a big $$$ company behind it), the issue you're describing is an issue with the Internet at large. You show me one YouTube video from some kid completely misrepresenting how Webpack works, and I'll show you 100 Medium thinkpieces by "full stack cloud engineers" doing exactly the same thing.
I'm not even talking about OPs video. I didn't even finish the damn thing - I kinda saw what it was getting at within a few minutes. Your comment just stinks of elitist generalisation and I hate to think that you're projecting that upon other developers.

JS is super poorly suited for writing a compiler. As long as the community continues to write its tooling in JS, people are always going to be dissatisfied and won't fall in line behind a single tool. This is actually super exciting because it's the first time someone has put some code where their mouth is.
Personally, I'd be more interested in a JVM/Graal approach that could (hypothetically) still allow existing JS babel plugins to work, but here's to hoping swc kicks off a new performance war amongst JS tools.

Thanks to you! I was disheartened when I got my first comment saying "No they didn't, watching all this is mostly a waste of time", but the 1k people I made happy let me know otherwise.
I've really enjoyed watching videos I didn't agree with - after all, how can you know you're right if you don't understand the other arguments? One thing I discovered recently is that everybody's situation is different, and there's often no _right_ answer. What's best for you right now isn't necessarially best for me right now, but I need to understand both to know when each solution is appropriate.
I really appreciate your comment, thanks for leaving it!

When I am stuck I create a very detailed question. It will include any code, screenshots, data required to reproduce the issue. About 50% of the time I solve the problem while writing the question. Often just stepping back and reviewing everything is all it takes to solve an issue. This also makes getting an answer much easier since the SME can easily reproduce your issue.

I watched a lot of videos when I first started programming just so I could get a good overview for exactly how their setup was and where ui elements in the IDE were since it is much easier to just click where they clicked rather than having to search for the menu item "Foo" or what ever.
Now that I'm much more skilled by programming for about 8 years and 4 years professionally, I do read blog posts rather than small videos.
IMO the videos are a "getting started" type of learning element and doesnt "scare you away" like a wall of text does.

This is not a clear explanation at all. The algorithm is actually quite simple and can be explained in a few basic drawings or lines of pseudocode.
If you look at the implementations for the algorithm on github, they "seem" complex, but they're actually just incredibly obfuscated. I assume this is a result of general incompetence on the part of the authors, not for reasons of "optimization." I understand the authors say it's due to optimization, but that doesn't explain how terrible they are from a design standpoint.
Even the name "wavefunction collapse" is a sort of obfuscation. Assigning a complicated-sounding name to something which is actually quite simple.
Stop trying to relate this algorithm to quantum mechanics and schrodinger's cat. It's just a basic 2D-grid algorithm. To me it comes off like a bunch of researchers dressing up an algorithm so that it sounds more interesting than it really is. It's already interesting enough on its own, why obfuscate it??

Similarly in any game engine subreddits: "How do I make a shooting game? whats the code?"
You're expecting us to just write it for you? If you know the basics, you can build anything you can imagine, yet somehow people just ask how to do everything and end up learning nothing. If you help them, they just ask question after question for every single thing to the point where you've just done it all for them.
If you get stuck, ask for help, but don't ask someone for the end product.

You also can't CTRL+C when they display the source code you were after. Have to pause the video and retype it and hope you don't make a transcription error. Sometimes the video description will have a link to the code hosted on some obscure service that no longer exists or have deleted their post though.

I'm having trouble finding the exact tweets now, but there was the time he said "Craftsman", and had a heated discussion for a while about that. For me, the big one was guns in schools. He's of the opinion that we should put guns in schools to protect children from being shot.
My opinion, which is partly influenced by living in the UK, is that we shouldn't have guns _at all_. I love that my police cannot shoot me, because they're not equipped to. Well, weren't... Anyway, I followed a lot of that debate, and it seems to me his opinion is this:
>We should have less guns, but while kids are being shot, we should protect them.
It taught me a lot about how we can have different opinions, and still believe in roughly the same thing. But you know twitter -> Your opinion is different to mine! You are terrible!

So I know my low level stuff from hobby (reverse engineering devices, and 6502 assembler for Nintendo), but why do I need to know this it if I'm working with a high level interpreted language like JS or matlab?
I feel that giving it a title like "what every programmer should know" is a little disrespectful to the ones that will go their whole lifetime never needing it. Are they not programmers? Are they not qualified?

This annoys me so much at work on IM. They won't get to the point until I've said Hi back, then we've asked each other how we are, then they ask if they can ask something, then they ask a vague question without even including the issue number or what they've tried. Then they ignore my follow questions.
Then when I start a conversation with, Hi, I'm working on issue number, I thought it was X but it didn't work so then i tried Y but I'm having this problem, can you help? And they get uppity that I'm ignoring the pleasantries.

There is a great book called Game Coding Complete, but it's quite advanced and I'm only just getting through it slowly myself. But they teach a bunch of game-specific programming techniques there. But it's tough going for newbies to programming in C++ like me.
(Parental guidance / non-PC warning here:) If you're more new to programming, I suggest running through the Chili C++ tutorials. They're brilliant to learn how to code, and he has a bunch of excellent tidbits on how to code well (useful for any skill level), and teaches everything with a game programming slant to it. It gets very advanced too so suitable for all skill levels.
Edit: I only know C++ material but I'd imagine that the concepts can be used in other languages.

Instead of saying everything that's on his mind, as laid out in the video, he corrects the person on what is obviously an auto correct from inner to inter...

Hyperbole aside, I have to agree. We had quite a few issues trying to follow this branching model. Lost patches, confusing merges, zombie branches, etc. Maybe I just work with a bunch of troglodytes, but we dropped the "master" and "hotfixes" branches (actually dropped "develop" and substituted "master" in it's place)

OpenGL 3.3 as a baseline requirement could hinder your cross-platform goal. Your shader can easily be written to support either OpenGL 2.1 or ES 2.0 by using varyings in the vertex shader, and VAOs can be "emulated" by managing an array of VBO's.

I am very much a Software Developer; my job is to develop software. "Money Maker" is not a job; everyone in a business is supposed to contribute to the bottom line in some way. And if your job title is "Software Developer", then you are expected to contribute to the bottom line by developing software.
The important part however is twofold.
One, "developing software" does not necessarily mean "write more code". Software can be developed in all sorts of directions through all sorts of means: you can write more code, you can replace code, you can delete code, you can restructure code, you can take existing code and configure it to your needs, you can come up with ways of making parts of the company's software stack unnecessary by changing the company procedures, etc. Your job title is "Software Developer", not "Code Writer".
And two, just like anyone else in the company, your job title doesn't mean you must uncritically apply the one skill that is reflected in it to each and every problem that comes your way. Sometimes, this means you need to do work outside your core job description; sometimes, it means you need to say "no", or ask for the task to be delegated to someone else who has the required expertise; sometimes, it means you need to apply additional skills in order to make your core skills shine. But none of that means your job title is inappropriate. People of all professions do this, it's nothing unique to software development.

Writing a good technical question is an art form.
You should always start by describing the goal. Not the intermediate step your stuck on. Most times newbies start with "how do you do x"?
They might be doing "x" to ultimately get to "y" (the goal) but they don't understand "x" is the wrong route.
If you start with "I am trying to achieve 'y' and looking to do this using 'x' it demystifies the goal for the person trying to answer the question.
Also, if you can, you want to get to the route cause of your problem before asking. There is no point in asking for help on something that isn't your root cause. You need to sieve out any symptoms/side-effects and find the root cause.
Then you'll be in a better position to ask a question.

This is a cool tool -- I've been looking for something like this for a long time. However, it is hard to use. I did 7 exercises, and I feel like I did not do any real logic -- just learning how to use the website. Ultimately I got stumped by the interface. I'm also disappointed that the definitions point to Wikipedia. I would expect something like this to provide its own definitions -- make use of the expertise of the people who built the system.

The ones that drove me crazy were the ones that just want you to be their personal on-call mind-reading tech wizard, and never clarify the problem or acknowledge if you helped them or not.
Cust > (Some vaguely worded question, no tech specs, nothing)
Me > (clarifying question, links to clarifying articles on how to collect info needed, general guidance, offer of remote-session)
\*several days pass, customer ignores session invite\*
Cust > (provides 10% of info requested)
Me > We still need more info, but given what you've provided your issue is most likely X, here are several known solutions A, B, C linked below...But if you could please provide the rest of the info we need we'd be happy to help! Also, if we could remote in that'd help--see the invite.
Cust > (Stops responding)
Me > Hello? Did that help? Hellooooo?
\*issue closes after several more days of no response\*
Cust > Hi i want reopen issue, can you fix for me?
Me > Sure, however can you please clarify the results of trying A, B, and C? We only had part of the information we requested from you, we really need that information if trying those solutions didn't help you.
Cust > no i want fix. i not try solutions. you guys are the most terrible tech support blah blah blah...

In any deep, complicated field of study there are certain tiers and concepts that filter out substantial amounts of wannabes. Math is the most common experience people have with this: some people barely get arithmetic. Algebra with it's simple variable abstraction dumps off another group. Geometry and graphs another group, pre-calc, calculus, etc.
Programming also has these levels. The interesting mirror with the basic math path is that people can do productive programming tasks with only basic levels of programming, just like people can get by in the world and do things with basic arithmetic.
At the basic level is being able to do if-then and simple loops of collections and calling apis. That's basically arithmetic.
Pointers and their indirection are analogues to algebra's variable abstractions: the first complexity of the mind that filters out the first tier of "wannabes". I agree with Joel that this and Recursion are the next two "tiers" that filter out the basic level programmers.
Above this are those that know big-O, data structures, etc.
Side note: does anyone notice that the fundamental starting point of someone in functional programming already is after three filtering tiers (basic logic + recursion + data structures), while a doofus programmer can stumble through framework code and other types of "business logic" with just the basic logic and structured programming? That is the fundamental problem of functional languages in widespread adoption.

Code is the most direct way of expressing an algorithm that will be run on a computer.
I've had tons of academics explain to me: "The algorithm works like this."
But I've read the code, so I say: "No, I've read the code, it does something else."
Then they'll reply like: "Well, the code does what you are saying, but the algorithm is what I am saying."
No... the code IS the algorithm. Anything else is just your thoughts.

That's a very big claim with no supporting evidence.

tl;dw
- `sudo !!` redo previous command with `sudo` prefix
- `ctrl+x+e` opens editor for multi-line commands etc. Save/close the editor to run the commands you just typed
- ramdisk, for temp storage faster than SSD:
`mkdir -p /mnt/ram; mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt/ram -o size=8192M`
- put a ` ` (space) before a command to prevent it from going into the history
- fix a long command: type `fc` which opens the previous command in an editor, save/close to run the edited command
- ssh tunneling: `ssh -L <localport>:<remotehost>:<remoteport> user@domain -N`
- `mkdir -p folder/{sub1,sub2}/{sub1,sub2,sub3}` creates 6 folders via command substitution:
`sub1/sub1`, `sub1/sub2`, `sub1/sub3`, `sub2/sub1`, `sub2/sub2`, `sub2/sub3`
- command redirection, using `tee`
- `disown -a && exit` close terminal without killing terminal's child processes
