>It will be difficult for Condé Nast to get its money's worth out of Reddit now.

Condé Nast hasn't owned Reddit for half a decade now. Advance Publications owns both of them, and Reddit was split off as a separate entity with its own board and shareholders, one of which is Advance.

Atom did this with the backing of a very well-financed company, and it still doesn't fare all that well with niche languages.

I agree with the general gist of your first post, but I think it's important to recognize that unless you can build on some portable standard method for defining editor support for programming languages, there is going to be a cost to living in the niche; it is going to make you more hesitant to experiment with new languages. (This is speaking as someone who has also implemented their own Lua-based text editor.)
In my experience, the freelancers who do this almost entirely depend on recruiters and whatever job those have lined up at the moment. Having your own professional website conveys the message that you're an independent service provider instead of a commodity.

The parent unilaterally said that it was a bad sign. That is an expression of certainty. Not 'it could be a bad sign,' or 'I believe it's a bad sign,' but 'it is a bad sign.'

I know what they said, and what they said is a ridiculous, stereotypical view of the value of professional managers who often lend far more value than technical people want to give them credit for.

there is an inherent trade off though. would reddit have ever become so big and popular if it had enforced a strict conduct policy from day 1? many of the early users of reddit were not necessarily the mainstream "good" users that eventually came post-digg.

it can be a distraction to focus on that early on when what's most important is user adoption...

3 teams on 3 continents is not a problem. Moreover, when teams are separated strongly, i.e. no video and/or voice communication between teams, it helps to create healthy team, because non-realtime text-based communication causes well-written documentation and well-defined goals (just because it is much faster to write throughout description of goal once, in lengthy email or ticket, that to iterate with iteration cycle length equal to 1 day).
Just use SCRUM, and follow it fanatically, and it will work. BTW: 2 week sprints are the best in such case.

In addition to what the others have said, it's also more difficult to strike out on your own due to 'having no replacement'. If a corp is reliant on you and you're part of a collective, then something happens to you, the collective will replace you. If you're on your own, a corp will be much more reticent, as the proverbial hit-by-a-bus scenario will leave them high and dry.

I think this is different between companies but not in the way you are suggesting.

For example, concerning the subject we are discussing in the first place, Tesla because of the specificity of their cars probably have to produce themselves a huge part of the components of the car whereas Ford, Volkswagen,... are now to a point where a huge amount of the parts of their car are similar and can be outsourced to contractors that will decrease costs by producing only one type of components in huge quantity and provides to multiple constructors (who looks more and more like assemblers nowadays).

So I agree that it is in fact not easy to compare manufacturers on this metrics but I would believe that it's actually suggesting that Tesla does a lot more in-house than conventional car manufacturers.
The problem for Free Software advocates, is that they 'won' but that's also brought about a change in 'communities' make-up.

The key quote is in the first sentence "Once upon a time FOSS was about Freedom": this simply isn't the case for many users of FOSS (and I mean people who use code that is under an open source license which covers those that are FSF compliant and others). The winning part if landing up with many more users, and many more creators both personal and in a professional context - it feels unarguable to me that there's more active FOSS than at any time before.

The user-base has simply changed, everyone can use FOSS not just the technical elite and/or fringe. And FOSS is active in areas I never considered.

But ... if you care about the values/philosophy behind Free Software then you may dislike the fact that the core philosophy hasn't made it across to a substantial (majority?) of users. But, in terms of providing users with the core freedoms (e.g altering/copying) it's certainly a win.

Lots of people are racist. That is a sufficient explanation.

However, I very strongly suspect that no matter what the level of racism on Facebook is, it would be far higher if people were able to post anonymously.
Even in latex or scala you're going to write out the symbol name anyway, for the writer of the symbol there is no significant advantage over raw ascii. Unfamilar readers will have to spend time understand the notation instead of the underlying concept. Familar readers however do get a moderate increase in readability.

Generally in tech we have a lot of domain specific knowledge which means you will find yourself far more often in the position of the writer or unfamilar reader than the familar reader.

Planned obsolence in consumer electronics? Intel selling you an i7 for 5 times the price of an i3 when really it is pretty much the same piece of silicon, just with a slightly different design (or some features turned off).

Retiring and repurposing the same molecule to a different treatment to ramp up the price,... Should we talk quality controls in clothing?

Commerce is always inherently a conflict of interests between a buyer and a seller, and what keeps people honnest is competition mostly, and laws that require the seller not to lie about the product or service.

Except gotos are legitimately useful for cleanup inside a function before you return an error (see: the Linux kernel). Exceptions have overhead, and you have no idea where it will end up because the exception will bubble up the current call-stack, while gotos are local to the current function (and while longjmp is a mess, it is useful if you use clone(2)).
I would love to see the same benchmark with --march=native. I doubt AVX would be used without this flag on the Intel platform, and this might be also hindering the Power8.

I have no idea how this happened, but about twenty years ago, I had an internal PC modem that started randomly speaking to me about fire, brimstone, salvation, etc. Thought I was going off my rocker, until I figured out that it was picking up an AM religious station and playing it through the onboard speaker. My best guess is that somewhere on the circuit board there was a diode and a capacitor just in the right spot and it was using the phone line as an antenna.

The documentation of a lot of projects is really bad, I know, and something is needed to improve it.

>jobs are the cost of satisfying human economic desires. we want to minimise costs

That's an excellent perspective. There's a major barrier though.

Even if we produce enough that everyone could satisfy their desires and then some with a cost of only 34 minutes work per week (<2% of a 40 hour work week - parallel to the fact that less than 2% of the population now works in agriculture to produce more than twice enough to feed everyone), we would still demand that everyone must work at least a bare minimum of 40 hours or else they don't deserve to live. That's our culture.

But there would be no demand for that work. So what would the people do? And more importantly, why do we demand that they do it? That becomes a philosophical question, not an economic one.
Way to Mobile: customer interaction for “keepers”
If that socialist candidate that you mentioned was big on, say, defense spending, and what you cared about most was defense spending, and the other candidate held the opposite view on defense spending, then it's not unreasonable that you might vote for the socialist candidate despite all the other character or political flaws that candidate might have.

Someone big on defense spending might not believe in any part of socialism, but vote for the socialist anyway to get the result they want on the issue they care about. I imagine they'd get annoyed if people started assuming they were socialist based on WHO they voted for, rather than WHY they voted for that person.

I particularly enjoy how reasonable they're trying to be in the initial paragraphs and how it descends into insanity as you scroll further down.

Clearly their propaganda has evolved as it become more and more accepted as reality, but their prescription remains the same "all government intervention is bad". They just have to work a great deal harder to justify that.

>as long as it is accompanied with increases in transport links

That point so often seems ignored in these discussions (with respect to many growing/popular cities).

So an example of the reality in the Boston area is that the Green Line extension is on hold last I read because costs have doubled to $2 billion or so. (And the Green Line is basically the oldest and crappiest line in the overall not-bad Boston metro system. It's essentially a trolley with underground sections dating to the turn of the last century.)

So 20 years and $20 billion or so in transportation infrastructure would certainly set San Francisco up to do more building in areas where there are good opportunities to expand housing stock beyond what's already being built.

Alright, I'll bite, even though I can't vote here, so I suppose my opinion doesn't really matter and I would not say I am a strong supporter of either candidate.

There are many issues with your question ("Why would you support a racist candidate if you weren't also racist").

First, most of what I've heard about Trump being a "racist" is his comments about illegal Mexican immigrants (which is not a race... it's a group of by-definition criminals, since last time I checked illegally entering the US is, well, not legal). Similarly for the more rigorous checks of people coming from countries having known radical islamist ties -- not a race (and FWIW, many leaders across the world are proposing essentially the same thing -- but Trump gets singled out for some reason). People also seem to paint Trump as being very anti-immigration, though I fail to see how Hillary is any better. Neither appears to have any plan to do anything about highly skilled immigrants -- Hillary does have some stop gap measures for non-skill-related immigration (why does this take priority over immigrants who contribute more to the economy..?), but that's about it.

So then, I'm not that convinced he's a racist in the first place, at least not much worse than everyone else. It's not like you're either an angel or a racist -- probably everyone has some unconscious prejudices, and I'm not going to base my rating of people based on how carefully they choose their words. Content not delivery.

But more importantly, it is entirely possible to support a racist candidate even if you are not racist. Simple example: one candidate is racist but has mostly reasonable policies. The other candidate is "not racist" but proposes to nuke all of the world the day they're elected. It's always a tradeoff.

You can re-verify on the backend however often you like.

Make the signed cookie include user-id and date (and maybe a session id). Accept it without backend-check while it's less than X minutes old. Buf if it's older than that, check the backend to see if the user has invalidated sessions since it was generated. In the typical all-good case, generate a new signed cookie and put it in the response. No need for service workers or anything.

I have a theory — to clean up a site, find and expel the most egregious offenders, like the people who engage in repeated name-calling ("You are a fucking asshole!") as opposed to constructive discussion. You can't police every user, but if you find and expel the worst offenders, I suspect it will have a significant effect on the quality of conversation.
> Store password hashes using Bcrypt (no salt necessary - Bcrypt does it for you).

In PHP, I would rather recommend to use password_hash() with its own defaults since it's built-in and designed specifically for this purpose - and quite future-proof. But this is PHP specific.

I believe these are the same. The second one is clearer though.
