If the business wanted to track the rate of failures and create predictive models about when things fail, or detect anomalous behaviour, that's what they would have set out with as the goal, and, perhaps, some ML model might have helpe

Why does having a different opinion to you mean someone has no idea what they’re talking about, or has never used a thing “seriously“? I used to love angular, then I got a job which was a “| async” dumpster fire and spent a year watching a

I spent 4 years as a professional python developer. We certainly shipped (using django) and it was certainly slow, and remains a painfully slow very successful enterprise app. I’m not arguing that the slowness is deal breaking , but it is

by shadowmint 7y ago
Lovely theory, but in practice it works more like this: 1) write everything in python because its easy and quick to do so. 2) its slow as. 3) abandon software and write it in something else, or, live on with slow ass software and blame pyth

Sure, but it sucks to be left with code you have to rewrite because you're donating your time to the cause to find problems and smooth the path for other people in the future. Maybe some people are in to that for fun, but the for t

It sounds like you already have an idea of what you want to do, but I think you should pause and think more deeply about what you have, vs. what you want. What I would want in your situation is: - All the data in one place. - An

That seems fair; but they have a whole methodology section. If you want to argue with it, surely the onus is on you to do it concretely? > Because of your methodology, we must assume a biased sample. ^ I find this quote problematic. Wh

> you cannot generalize from a non-random sample So, honest question: If any survey of any size can be ignored on the basis that the sample is not random, then how is any survey meaningful? Isn’t this a self defeating argue? You can’t pr

Oh please, go read the source code for tensorflow and then come back and we can have a real conversation.

no, the trivial frontend is built in python; the real code is usually c++ or c. Ignore that reality if you want to, but it is a fact. Big complicated python projects are seldom pure python, they are usually a friendly python frontend to a s

oh come on. 18000 responses. This is the js survey results all over again: no. Unless you can statistically prove the results are biased, you don’t get to ignore the results because you dont like them. Finding data points with no methodo

I know, but I still struggle to get a handle on the state of it really. What is going on with futures 0.3? Why is everyone still using 0.1? How does that relate to these issues? It superficially appears like the whole async story is still

Is it just me, or is the fact that the most important part: https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/getting_started/state... Is missing, somewhat ironic? Feels very much like the state of async matches the state of

This. JWT is a pain in the ass for a lot of reason people don’t appear to understand until they actually try to use it; and the majority of the proponents for it appear to have never actually used it seriously and had to deal with issues li

It's easy to laugh now, but in 2007 this was spot on. It was 10 years before Microsoft managed to drag itself up and do something useful with itself. It's really remarkable that Microsoft managed such a big turn around after such
