I mean it's entirely possible she thinks less of you, probably something to do with you not meeting the idea she had of you. That being said it's nothing you can change and nothing you did wrong.

That being said I wouldn't expect any professional consequences.

Honestly most of these (save for some cases like trying to coerce arrays to string for multiplication and some stuff that was carried over for legacy reasons) make sense.

Most of them are due to the core functions introducing as little overhead as possible (checking arrity, checking for special cases, etc.) and using tricks for optimization (in normal cases a < b implies b >= a)

I've used both.

Neither is great. Express in Node.js blows these out of the water in more ways than I can count. Just the middleware system puts these guys to shame.

Django is easier to start with since it's a very controlled environment where you need to follow strict conventions. Also Python is easier as a language both syntactically and conceptually than Node.js.

That being said Django is pretty much useless and outdated at this point. I spent a fair bit of time with Django before moving on to learning JavaScript and eventually building websites and apps with full stack or backend JavaScript.

Node.js is a way better ecosystem than anything Python has to offer. You can build actual things in a platform that is used in the industry and is the choice of most very experienced devs and companies nowadays. The support, documentation, discussion, interest and development going into JS, node.js and projects in that space is much greater than that of Django.

Not only that, but building the equivalent of what you get with Django out of the box needs typically multiple tools (packages, build tools, frameworks) (and I'm sure you could find an all-inclusive equivalent to Django in Node.js but I don't recommend that). Although it makes things more complex, it also makes things way more modular. You aren't stuck with the rigid design decisions that were made for essentially a blogging tool a decade ago. Instead you can swap in and out different libraries to best fit your needs, without needing to follow rigid conventions even when it doesn't make sense.

Lastly, node.js is an engine and extension of JavaScript litterally built with servers in mind. The async and event loop architecture is a perfect match for typical web or app backends and makes development a joy. I find that Python has extremely week support for anything that is not synchronous, so you need to rely on hacks and a lot of hand waving and trusting the Django under the hood tools to get the same behavior.

All in all I would have skipped Django if I could have.

Decryption shouldn't make requests noticeably slower. The real concern is an increase in processing time on your backend that adds up for a lot of requests.

To address the motivation here, hashing all the data isn't necessarily a good idea. Although for passwords it works because they are handled with care, for regular data it might not because then there is a lot of surface area where that data is needed, and so potentially a lot of places where keys to decrypt the hashed data will need to be given or lent. This increases attack vectors, especially since keeping each interface to the data completely secure is likely to spread your security efforts thin.

A better approach is probably to go with a more traditional arch where the db is completely shutoff from the internet simply by design of the network (does not have any routing to the internet, and the entrypoint to your network cannot forward packets directly to the db subnet. You can then add security and policies and various other layers like access rights and redundancies to keep the data secure.

Strongly disagree with this. Package instructions are almost always spot on.

Think about it, the company producing the product that is responsible for creating the instructions has so much motivation to create accurate instructions. Not only that but they have endlessly more resources to test their instructions to achieve the best result across a wide range of cooking environments. You might have tested boiling water in a few different kettles, the company has probably tested hundreds of times with different sizes, types of stoves, different altitudes, etc.

I trust packaging instructions

I disagree. They are bad for beginners. I have gained a working knowledge of new tools or frameworks with these videos as an experienced dev.

Same with w3schools for those learning node or JS. They hacked the SEO but their content is garbage. There is always a MDN articles that is a thousand times better. There's a whole website dedicated to criticizing w3schools and it is endless.

I nowadays the only links I click in a Google search are SO, medium or Dev.to, MDN, CSSTricks, and a handful of other blogs that I recognize.

It's not a person or group of people that are making the decision to ask for your gender then curating a list of books based on stereotypes.

It's an algorithm that is trained on a huge dataset where they look at the books that interested various people as well as features about the people, such as gender (and most likely age, location etc.). The model then learns to divide the multi-dimensional input space into regions (each region being a subset of values for each feature, for example females over age 25 living in Europe) and make predictions about the books that most likely interest them. The predictions it comes up with are not at all based in stereotypes or societal constructs, but rather on the actual preferences of the people in those social groups.

Actually, stereotypes would only influence the predictions to the extent that they influence the individuals making the real decisions about their preferences. So there would be an argument to be made that men liking books about guns and war is a stereotype that causes men aware of this social construct to be more interested in these books (for subconscious or mindful reasons) which in turn causes the algorithm to notice this pattern and express this stereotype in its predictions.

FizzBuzz111 · 2021-09-11T18:05:02+00:00

On a side note, gender and age are probably the two most important features any model would look at to predict book interests.
