before arriving at the above solution, I found a way to remove an URL from the list of candidates for autocompletion. the reason that did not solve my procrastination problem is that the next time I visited the URL, it was added back to the list of candidates.

If I had found a way to arrange for a URL to stay off the list of candidates (even after I visit the URL) I would have used that because, as you point out, it is a good idea to leave auto-completion on for useful web pages.

Our company (a three-letter megacorp) uses Slack with a 1000+-sized team just fine. However, that "team" represents our whole division; there are then hundreds of channels within it for different individual teams, prefixed with department names. Thus, no individual channel (#dept-team) has more than ~100 subscribers. Slack scales just fine when run this way.

So the team size isn't itself the problem; instead, it's the idea of wanting 8000 active subscribers in the same single channel that doesn't scale. Doesn't work on Slack; doesn't work on IRC, either.

At the scale of 8000 "viewers", you need the sort of specialized "presentation" software used for managing MOOC lectures and corporate shareholder calls, with fan-out servers, voting indicators, and the ability to "raise your hand" to ask the presiding officer to grant you a temporary +v.
> Disk intensive daily jobs shouldn't run if the system is being crushed.

ionice(1) works really well on Linux.

> Have you had the fun of cron jobs getting stuck and seeing them just endlessly build up...

It sounds like this would be fairly easy to fix. Either set a timeout for each cron job, or make a mark when each job completes and don't start a second copy of that job if the mark is not found.

Regardless, I don't see how these are reasons that cron needs to die. They are decent reasons for improving cron. ;)

It's nice to see an honest, positive post about the game industry on HN.
I don't think you can tie this to economics alone. After all, blacks and hispanics have been feeling the economic pressures as well.

Suicide, drug use, and alcoholism have deeper cultural ties. I have no idea what those ties are, but it likely won't be fixed by a 4% annual increase in wages.

I can't help but wonder if perhaps this increase in self destructive behavior is due to an increase in secularism. Blacks and Hispanics are more religious than whites, and with that religiosity comes greater church attendance which likely brings greater community support (a generalization, I know, but I'm guessing that this is probably more true than not).

Yup, Witcher 3 does the same thing (thanks to that GameDev StackExchange link it finally clicked for me why Witcher 3 has that dithered look when moving around).

In case it still isn't clear after reading both descriptions of what's going on: that method and a bit weird look comes from using transparency via dithering/checkerboarding when doing LOD levels transitions in deferred rendering pipeline.

When rendering levels-of-details, you need to render both higher-level and lower-level quality models at the same time and blend between both, not to have sudden visual discontinuities.

In deferred pipeline transparencies are tricky / costly, so doing dithering is a clever workaround, basically piercing holes in a opaque solid models.

This would be quite ugly for regular transparent surfaces like glass / windshield / water, so those are rendered in a different way (usually forward pass).

But for LOD transitions, which are short in duration, it can look quite acceptable (imagine superimposed images of two versions of one tree, one low-poly model, one high-poly model, further away you are from the tree, more pixels of low-poly tree you see).
Oak Investments: The Rise, the Fall and the Rogue
Gitlist.io V.0.0.2 – Front End Prototype Launched
Constructing a brand new dark fiber network over long distance requires an insane amount of work, plus a ton of legal and administrative issues to deal with.

OVH had started working on the construction of a second dark fiber network a long time ago, with at least the capacity of the previous one. Due to a strange quirk of fate, they had planned to complete the construction within the next few days.

After the fiber cut, they not only tried to locate and repair the cut pairs of cable, but also simultaneously rushed to finish the construction of the new network. They made in hours what was initially planned to require at least another week.

The services are now back online at full speed, because they managed to finish installing the new cables, test them and connect the whole data center right away to the new network. And it worked.

1) wine is quite good these days. It has played far more than Source Engine games for like 5+ years. Ever since steam went to Linux and the Unity engine became popular, compatibility problems became much less common even on new games.

2) If you are always going to rank playing games as more important than spyware, then you're an easy mark. If you aren't willing to make a few sacrifices to invest in your future, then you're made your decision. Why do you care about spyware if games are more important?

The costs of leaving are only going to get worse with time. I recommend paying these costs now instead of waiting for the problem to get worse.

>I'm not a native speaker, as you might already have guessed

I picked up on that, don't worry! It was meant as advice, as many people would stop reading without keeping that in mind.

>What I was trying to say by it, is that we as developers should invest our time consciously in learning things that will lead to company's profit.

This assumes you're already working for the company. Generally this sort of thing is asked in an interview. If the company is asking you to perform a quick sort - it may be the field of work that is beneficial to the companies bottom line and therefore be important to know!

The reasoning here is much like the argument against "code a binary tree search on a whiteboard" except it replaced "search binary tree" with "quicksort". It may or may not be applicable but if a company is asking, they believe it might be. (Or they consider it a display of talent/skill, which can be equally important in hiring decisions.)

Plex has a feature called Direct Stream that supports this use case:

We've also found that some of the other virtual DOM implementations that are popping up can be somewhat faster than React's, though I confess I can't remember exactly which ones as I write this.

But I don't think that really matters. Fundamentally, once we have a moderately complicated data model such as configuring a few thousand entities of perhaps 50-100 different types with assorted properties each and assorted constraints between them, even a relatively passive scan over the model to rerender the UI from the top following each transaction on the data model does not appear to be a viable architecture today.

Fortunately, that architecture is also unnecessary, as a modest amount of finer-grained integration work presents a much more realistic alternative. The declarative style of specifying a UI still has considerable potential as a way of composing manageable components, we just need a scalable way of decomposing the overall design to match, and it seems for now that means smaller-scale components need to be aware of their own concerns in some cases.
The equity structured so that it's effectively a debt point is a really good one to make. "Valuations" and "venture rounds" are often not really comparable between companies.
Yeah, Gore clearly wouldn't have invaded Iraq.

Now, is there a colorable argument that Gore would have invaded Afghanistan and embroiled the US in costly military adventurism abroad? Sure. But somehow making 9/11 be about Iraq, which it patently was not, is a pathology unique to Bush.

You could use a lens to make the programming easier, and the logarithmic depth property of DOM-like trees makes it likely that allocation will also not be a problem.
I think a lot of this is hypothesis not supported by statistics. The "men don't talk about their problems" idea seems like an explanation in search of a problem.

The real issue, that is not mentioned in the article, is that the difference comes down to EFFECTIVENESS in suicide methods, much more so than INTENT. From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide

> The role that gender plays as a risk factor for suicide has been studied extensively. While females tend to show higher rates of reported nonfatal suicidal behavior and suicide ideation, males have a much higher rate of completed suicides.[2][7] However, a 2009 study tends to show little to no difference in suicidal ideation between men and women.[7] A 2008 study of suicide attempts by gender found that females have a higher rate of attempted suicide than males earlier in life, and that this rate decreases with age.[8] For males, the rate of attempted suicide remains fairly constant when controlled for age. Males and females also tend to differ in their methods of suicide and responses to suicidal feelings.

It doesn't really matter which way you slice it, or which figure you believe/find more reputable, there is no stat that shows a 3 to one difference in attempts. Some more:

> Males frequently complete suicide via high mortality actions such as hanging, carbon-monoxide poisoning, and firearms. This is in contrast to females, who tend to rely on drug overdosing.

If we could find a way to change the method of suicide attempt, we might be able to save a lot of men.

Or we could make men talk I guess, that might work.

This is obviously subjective, but I'd argue that not only are the fonts we have available today better, but that anti-aliased fonts have been better for years. Even monospaced programming fonts. This includes fonts descended from Bitstream Vera (which include the Deja Vu Sans you mentioned, as well as Apple's Menlo), and we have some fonts -- like Microsoft's excellent Consolas and the amazing Input series from Font Bureau -- which are explicitly designed to be displayed with anti-aliasing.

In the time these SGI fonts were new --- really up through the turn of the century -- the case for pixel programming fonts was better, I think, especially when you used light text on a dark background; our "high-resolution" displays were rarely more than 75 dpi with 18-bit color. But as historically important as unaliased 9-point Monaco may be, I'm not going to use it for nostalgic purposes.
I'm not trying to start a flame war, but an honest discussion. Two words:

Satya Nadella

He seems even more tone-deaf than most CEOs, e.g. his comments about women asking for a raise in pay.

So, here's the delicate question: is this cultural? He's originally "not from around here", but he's lived in the USA for at least 25 years.

In contrast, Tim Cook seems to have staked out the opposite ground, i.e. that user privacy matters.
Very cool! It got me daydreaming about an alternative to html designed from the ground up to minimize webpage bloat and avoid tracking (1x1 pixel gifs, etc.)
Although Fisk was a bit overzealous I'm his attack on the statement, I do agree on his point about the ageism implicit in that statement. I don't see anything about escape rooms which makes people above early 30s unsuited as customers. If the person had said "This is something that white and Asian people can go do with their friends", or "This is something that men can go do with their friends", it would sound segregating and uninviting, and I submit that saying "This is soemthing that someone in their early 20s or late 20s or early 30s can go do with their friends" is just as segregating and uninviting.
The real answer is because it's a family-friendly franchise, with a utopian vision of humanity that doesn't offend the sponsors. I think they do get up to some weird, freaky stuff in the holodeck, but like the toilets, it's one of those facets of Star Trek life that can only exist offscreen.

Why do the holodeck doors[0] look like they have massive locking mechanisms? The holodeck is apparently one of the most advanced pieces of technology in Starfleet, a system of such vast complexity it can be create sentient life on command, and simulate the experience of entire worlds down to the atomic level. Why would such a system have what appears to be a peripheral role on the ship, serving as little more than entertainment, and why is it apparently locked up tighter than even the bridge?

It's implied that humans for the most part have evolved beyond beyond base desires like greed and hatred, but this is rarely backed up by any of the series. But what if, among Federation society, displays of "unevolved" human behavior are generally forbidden or frowned upon outside of a controlled environment like the holodeck?

Whatever happens in the holodeck, stays in the holodeck (except when it doesn't) thoroughly locked away out of sight and out of mind. It acts as a release mechanism for humanity's atavistic pleasure seeking side, but humans can't admit that it plays as central a role in their society as it must. We catch glimpses of this now and then from Barclay, or the one time Geordi's secret hologram girlfriend was discovered by the woman it was based on, but for the most part the humans maintain the pretense that that part of their psyche no longer exists.

Part of the reason for this subterfuge (that I'm concocting and that isn't canon but should be) might be that the Federation was started and run by humans, a species which is, as interstellar societies go, still practically children. Anyone spending time being tutored in civilization by the condescending (per Enterprise) Vulcans, the first alien species Humans encounter and the one that forms, if even subconsciously, their template for what "aliens" actually are, might have developed a deep species-level cultural cringe and a desire to appear more "evolved" to other species.

This reminds me of how I wish Plex had a mode to actually manage media files rather than just watching them. I hate manually organizing files, and iTunes despite keeping very nice folder organization doesn't quite work for this purpose (no Season 0 support, no option for years in movie filenames).
Except what they completed today is the construction of another dark fiber network to this data center, going through a completely different physical path.
It is unlikely that a reduction in fuel economy of X% would incent a reduction in driven miles of more than X%. Fuel cost is a minority component of total lifetime cost of the vehicle.

Most people have a (perceived) fixed distance of driving they need to drive. A 10% reduction in mileage won't have drivers biking 1 day every other week.
> The idea that you can't value growth companies because things change too much, is nothing more than an attempt to get investors to pay outrageously high multiples for the same earnings they can get elsewhere for far cheaper.

Not necessarily, I'd say it's a valid principle, but not one that applies to yelp.
My impression is that the process was structured in a way to give higher levels deniability. I highly doubt direct orders were given from the top to cheat; instead it was made clear that the performance numbers would come out right AND the emissions standards would be met, or heads would roll. And lo and behold! The numbers and sales targets were met. And management can say "well, we don't know how they did it. We never asked!"

Kind of. The only way to do this is by selecting a season and an option to "Play Season X" appears, which forces you to watch the season from episode 1. I think most Plex clients have had this for a while. What I would like (and you too, probably) is to have an option to just autoplay the next episode from whatever is "on deck" similar to Netflix.
They have been for much of the existence of the company though. And their current earnings might as well be.
