I guess it depends on which devs you're talking about. I'm mostly doing web development on a day to day basis; very little VM usage, and I've never really gave my hardware a second thought. Maybe because I've always used a mac? Perhaps I'd be more picky if I had to endure poor hardware.

Having said that though I'm much more concerned with the OS capabilities, user experience, aesthetics, toolchains, etc.

Why Are We Still Waiting for ARM Servers?
The top thread on the announcement is a great discussion of why it's so important to us to credit Redditors in every article, which folks seem to appreciate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/3npxm4/introducing_up...

As for Tom, here's what I posted on r/defaultmods addressing that concern.

>>

I ran those ads when I learned Tom was using the site.

I did that because for the last few weeks more and more celebrities have been coming on or reaching out to use reddit as members of the community. And we've run sponsored headline to draw attention to it, these ads have been viewed over 14M times in the last couple of weeks without incident. They've also performed exceptionally well (Bill Gates' for instance had 368% higher CTR than average).

+That moment when Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) shows up to compliment your Rebel helmet patch
+Oh, just Bill Gates hanging out on r/infographics
+Lil Dicky drops a new music video, shows up in the comments of r/Music thread

Admittedly, these ads all went up at least 24hrs after the celeb showed up and left, whereas I jumped on the Tom Hanks one as soon as I realized it was happening. We're not going to do that again. Those ads also performed very well (63% higher than site average) but were a really bad look.

To be clear: we're not paying them. They're coming because we're actually making progress showing them the value of joining the community.

Wynter (u/808sandhotcakes) has been doing a lot of great work, by virtue of her great reputation in the industry alone, people are genuinely reaching out to learn how to join the Reddit community. We're excited about that, because it clearly makes our users very happy and by every account the talent enjoys it, too.

edit: (See, I'm already getting better: Arnold + Adam Savage stopped by since Tom and no obnoxious sponsored headlines.)
No, you are not right.

> Have you looked at prices for data centers in Europe versus the US? Or their incompetence?

Yes, I'm quite aware of the price differences between data centers in Europe and the US. It all depends on who you want to serve, if latency is important then paying a (small) premium is usually not a problem. Also, plenty of EU data centers (maybe not the ones that you are familiar with) are extremely competitive with their US counterparts when it comes to pricing.

As for 'their incompetence', that would need some data to back it up, I have extensive experience with both and I'd be hard pressed to say which of the two groups are the more competent ones. Both are pretty good.

There are indeed a lot of myths about autism in the press, and they should be dispelled. Unfortunately Silberman doesn't really know what he's talking about, despite what are surely his best intentions. (He's a journalist, not a scientist.) Many people with autism diagnoses do lack empathy for others; it's part of the condition. Labeling that a "myth" is simply incorrect.

We need more coverage of scientific journal articles, such as the many papers that point to cerebellar involvement in autism, which Silberman does not discuss at all. The lack of hard science in the debate makes it too easy for myths and vague superstition--even among doctors--to fill the gap.

It's not incorrect, but it is misleading. It's not so much that Catholics have a different Old Testament; it's more like they have extra Old Testament. Similarly, if you have a copy of the first edition of a book and I buy a second edition of a book with an added epilogue, it would be misleading to say that we have different books. The book are completely the same, but one has some extra content.

Again, it's not technically wrong, just misleading to someone unfamiliar with the topic at hand. In terms of relevance to the conversation, the reason it's misleading is that the moral codes and content present in the Protestant OT is all present in the Catholic OT as well; the Catholic OT has a little more, but by and large, they are pulling from the same moral background. Saying that they have different OTs in this context seems to suggest that this is not the case, and that Catholics and Protestants have a different set of sources for, e.g., moral guidance and teaching.
The important takeaway from this is that we don't have to worry as much about melting in Antartica. Melting everywhere else in the world, however, is proceeding at a fast pace and is more immediately concerning. Unfortunately, I imagine this report is going to get jumped on by global warming deniers as solid evidence that climate change is not real and there's nothing to worry about.
They won't make up that much market share. Most PCs are sold through distribution channels and those will remain for the OEMs most likely. Just like the Nexus line.

To my knowledge true computer science is essentially a very narrow focus of higher mathematics.
They can define what "full Windows 10 computer" means. If Microsoft ported it, that $9 ARM based computer that showed up on kickstarter last year could be a "full Windows 10 computer".

They're trying to weed out early adopters to avoid dooming a product with known shortfalls that can be solved with product iteration and time (low FOV, tracking lag, etc).

Like what Google Glass is doing, except they seem to be making it less "glamorous" and possibly tethering it to a PC of some sort.

This is basically using the free market to sort out who really needs the kits.

For something that's disposable in a couple of years, yeah, I throw it around with fair abandon. That's a large chunk of the reason I bought a macbook air to run Windows on; I didn't want any moving parts (apart from fans) and I liked the solid aluminium design for strength when mixed with a lot of other random objects in a bag.

I still have an impression of the keyboard on the glossy screen (from compression), but it's perfectly liveable for a device I only use a few weeks of the year.
So this feels like a way of obfuscating comments and some of the less appealing aspects of the reddit community, while turning it into a buzzfeed style community. It feels like a prettier version of http://thisisthe.link/

Publications like BuzzFeed have been making money off of Reddit's content, or at least content discovered on Reddit, for years. Makes sense Reddit would want to capture some of that value.

>>> Yeah but colonizing Mars is just straight up cool.

>> Is it? Why?

> Well, if we get a self-sufficient mars colony up, nuking ourselves will become survivable.

Along with releasing an eco-system ravaging engineered biological organism. Or nanotechnology. Or AI. Or getting a bad luck roll with an asteroid. Or climate change blowing past a tipping point. Or something that I have no concept of anymore than an individual circa-1900 would understand the concerns of today.

Why?

Because we owe it to the !$%^ing universe to safeguard our (as near as we can tell) incredibly rare existence.

You know what happened to all those species that said "This planet is good enough?" Something bad happened. 1,000 years; 10,000 years; 100,000 years; at some point. And... poof... have fun starting another 3.5 billion year slog back to us.

Disclaimer: I don't think "us" is necessarily the pinnacle of evolution, but I tend to feel we're special enough to save another 3.5 billion years of history on recreating.
Wouldn't putting humans in orbit solve the latency issue without having to solve the relaunch issue?
We actually did both.

We felt that a lot of what floortime included were things we were doing (based on reading a number of books)... and I mean that as a positive. While I appreciate the child directed nature I felt like the structure and data driven model provided a better framework for our daughter. She's very young and a lot of what we work on are super fundamental skills. ABA (at least our provider) has been very thoughtful about creating a plan that identifies her struggles and implements strategies that are tailored to her to build skills.

We tried a lot of things and could see positives in all of them... so we ultimately decided to cherry pick what we like and help structure her program. ABA provided us the framework to measure what works and what we need to change.

I encourage parents to try a few things and see what works for them.
> it is perfectly possible to be honest with someone without coming across as hostile

Yes, it is possible: objectively. However, there exist people with whom you cannot be honest whatsoever without coming across as hostile to them. (Maybe via heaps of sugar-coated language, interspersed with all sorts of reassuring hedges.)
I think Armin makes a good point that European intelligence services have as little, or even less, regards for EU citizens' privacy as the NSA. Getting spied upon by GCHQ, the EU branch of the NSA, or by the mothership itself, makes little difference in practice.

It is surprising how often we take reproducibility for granted in the software world. With unit tests and continuous integration scenarios it becomes such a fundamental concept that it would be unheard of for developing products without them.

Then all of a sudden you have terabytes of data updating a model faster than you can keep up with it, and after a couple months, starting from scratch to get the same model doesn't seem plausible anymore. Two years of production time and you have a honking mess.

Also it is easy to fall into the trap of prototype-to-production, when you've developed a nice looking demo that suddenly has all of the real customers and none of the engineering rigor.

It is an interesting time to be in software :)

I'm not sure the narrow field of vision is that important for a dev. kit. The goal is to let people work out how best to produce apps for this kind of interface.

If they can't sort it for consumer release, that's a much bigger issue of course. My guess (and it's just that) would be that they'll be trying to improve field of vision for the consumer release, as from the reviews I read it was the one major negative people cited.

> Consider how Google's Street View wound up hiding car licence plates for a lot of places after the privacy complaints, for example.

Right, isn't that just "hiding the microphone"? Google still has records of your license plates.

Can agencies subpoena them for that information? Can Google themselves use it maliciously?

The technology exists, and will be used, even if it's not accessible to the public.

Hi Alexis, thanks for the clarification regarding the ads.

That said, I still have concerns about the power dynamic. I do see that users are credited for submissions, but Reddit is the one that mostly benefits from it, especially since ads are being run on the site. It's the same concern that people have with BuzzFeed that attribution alone won't solve. (There's also the issue of determining if Original Content on Reddit is actually OC, and that could lead to interesting problems.)

As mentioned in the original image, Upvoting still does encourage brigading on submissions (https://www.reddit.com/r/Upvoted/comments/3ni1il/upvoted_wee...), which can have fallout in the future.
Thanks again! Let's have another date. Email me!

Do you mean those who fail to <perfectly live up to coding standards, every single time>?

Or is there a tolerance level for imperfectly meeting standards, below which it is not necessary to exclude?

I mean, you could, I suppose, require that submissions all include a coq proof of correctness (and of meeting standards), and then you wouldn't have to respond to submissions not meeting standards at all; any that didn't just wouldn't go through.

Appreciate it. That covers it. I'll keep it archived. It proves the claim is false.

" Maybe they should change the claim to something like "Only two remote holes (known at the time of the fix) in the default install, in a heck of a long time!" Then again, isn't this what most readers would expect?"

As your quote says, they actually discovered and fixed a ton of them. Users thinking that claim is true might believe their system doesn't need patching if no new features are added. So, I'd ditch the claim altogether if I were them in favor of something reflecting what you quoted. Those quotes show the real argument which is lots of prevention and constant improvement at a higher rate than competing OS's for code quality. That mindset dictates one continue to patch and upgrade: no "fire and forget."

Primarily because Buzzfeed just copy-pastes content from Reddit with minimal credit. Upvoted at least looks to be providing genuinely improved-upon content with strong attribution linkage. To me, it gets rid of a lot of the scuzzy-ness associated with Buzzfeed, so I'm all for it.
