I think something really important that doesn't get discussed very often when "free speech" comes up is that there really are categories of speech which most reasonable people expect and perhaps even prefer would not be 'protected' (or in the context of Reddit, permitted and perhaps celebrated). More importantly there are categories of speech which are not put forward in good faith but are instead intended to do damage to communities that host them.

Among the various errors the administrators of Reddit may be guilty of, underestimating the damage & toxicity some categories of speech made in bad faith cause and having prepared no mechanisms to help their communities be resistant to or minimize that toxicity might be the most significant.

Digg died because Reddit existed, so there was somewhere for disaffected Digg users to go to. In particular users who by & large were interested in good faith participation. There is no similar analog that exists today and because users who show tendencies to indulge in bad faith participation new alternative sites often struggle with dealing a level of toxic behavior which makes it extraordinarily difficult to maintain growth.
Possibly a silly question, but...

I hear the term 'overdue' applied particularly to earthquakes, rather than any other naturally occurring event. Does this mean 'overdue' in the same sense that rolling a six is 'overdue' if you've not seen one after six rolls?

I lived in SoCal and worked in SFO for some decades and witnessed both the Northridge and the Oakland quakes first-hand, narrowly avoiding personal injury or even death in both cases (big things falling around me), and the conclusion I made after these events, which I eventually acted on, was simply put thus: GTFO!

I really didn't want to be there when the Big One happened, nor even some of the minor small ones, so I've moved to Central Europe where such things have a lower chance of happening .. in a way, I have a perverse desire to see The Big One happen from so far away, but I always dread the mind-game of trying to conceive what SoCal will be like, afterwards. I truly dread the idea, and I honestly can't understand how any society with scientific awareness of its surroundings can nevertheless commit to building so much expensive civilization and infrastructure in a known catastrophe zone. I guess its just a matter of momentum, but I sure wish the citizenry of the PNW and SoCal would prepare themselves for this event a bit better. It seems so defeatist to continue to build things in that area, knowing it could fall into the sea in a moment, and there is nothing we could do about it. California should just be a massive nature park stripped of all human involvement, just in case, but of course this is never going to happen, so if The Big One does happen in my lifetime, its just going to be a massive tragedy no matter what we humans could have done about it with all our science and stuff. Argh!

The problem with reddit isn't the admins, but that people who have managed to become moderators of prominent subreddits censor posts and thousands of rather innocent comments. For example the Orlando terrorist attack was censored from /r/news, and when they later allowed the posts to go through they deleted most of the comments, including all comments talking about the censorship of the previous posts. They even deleted comments giving info about where to donate blood for the victims. This strategy backfired immensely when the Donald Trump subreddit ended up being the only one reporting on the news.
Template oriented programming is a tremendously useful technique for working with overhead-less abstractions for embedded software, but C++ makes it so hard.

Intent doesn't matter. It does poison the discussion, and that is not what I come here for.

This goes for Beijing specifically due to historic and geographic reasons.

When I came here the PM 2.5 (particle density yadayada) was 400 on normal days and 200 was a "good" day. Something that would cause riots back home in EU.
After that it just got worse and worse until we peaked 1k, which we nicknamed the Airpocalyps.

After that the gov started to do a lot of things and magically around the time Beijing hosted the APAC 2014 meeting, the skies cleared and we remembered the smell of nature, I also could not stop looking at the moon at night, since I didn't realize that I hadn't been able to see if for a long time.

After that the 75 year military parade to celebrate the Victory over Japan came along and made the sky magically blue again, and we have not really gone back after that.

Its still bad (~150 PM 2.5) at the moment, but its not stable bad. When the humidity is high particles stick around longer, when it rains it clears up the pollution too.
(Where does it go? I dont want to know.)

But, we have 20+ expensive air cleaners at work, I have one at home and I always put on a M3 mask on days when its above 200.

You have ownership of a piece of land, not a spot on a map. If the land moves then you still own the land even if it is non-contiguous. I am not sure what happens in the case where some event creates new land adjacent to yours such as the case where a lava flow extends land out past yours into what was once water or if an uplift fault raises seabed to become contiguous with yours, but I would assume that the state would claim ownership over the new land.
Fair enough, but there are bugs/missing features in Scala 2.11 that I want fixed, and they're going to be fixed in Scala.js and Scala-Native so it would be a real shame if they weren't fixed in Scala-for-Android at the same time.
The answer is just to buy another battery and swap it once the last one dies. You can find your phone's battery on eBay for usually $3-20. If your battery is difficult or impossible to replace, USB battery packs are $10-30.
'Custom' wouldn't work in Tinder. They should have at least a third option but considering they show matches based on a gender preference having dozens of gender options will make the app quite useless as you'll be spreading people who would be interested in each other but use different terms to describe their gender into a wide variety of groups.
They're the same, really -- those quakes happen every 100 years because that's how long it takes for that much pressure to build up. 159 years without one means there's already going to be quite a lot of pressure built up that's going to have to give way sooner or later.
My best guess would be that the state would claim original ownership of the new land. If you take a small coastal lot and then start building landfill out into the ocean you are going to have a hard time convincing the state that you own the property without some pre-existing contract with the appropriate regulatory bodies stating this when you started construction.

Both Twitter's and Reddit's problem is that they are applying their rules very selectively.

Twitter, for example, ban political trolls and populists, but tolerate terror organizations and their supporters. Like what the actual fuck...

I'm not going to touch the rest of your nonsense, but this is an utterly shameless attempt to rewrite history. You know perfectly well that Trump called on several occasions for a ban on all Muslims entering the US, regardless of origin. That is indefensible bigotry. I think you must know that it is indefensible because you tried to gloss over it.
It's what we call it in Dutch. Singular: visum, plural: visa. It does indeed come from Latin. I didn't know that it is different in English.

The point happened when those devices were being common enough so that there is a good enough opportunity to use it as an intelligence and information gathering tool.

Not saying it's right or wrong, but until around 2010, smartphones were not mainstream enough for the government to be interested. If you're a government and you have a lot of resources, things get done pretty quickly, especially in sensitive matters like this one.

For the cost of living. Its really nice. You have the full spectrum of super mega fancy stuff down to a bed in a concrete room for 100 CNY a night.
The beauty is that a beer costs around 3 CNY (1 U.S. dollar =
6.6712921 Chinese yuan), you can have a feast with your friend and pay 30 CNY each including drinks.
Dont buy the vodka drinks for 10 CNY each if you value your brain.
Bus is 1 CNY and Subway is 2 CNY. Taxi almost anywhere is 30 CNY.

Living can also be cheap if you only want a normal apartment in a tall apartment building suburb, ~10-20min subway from downtown.
Ranging from modern 4-6k/m apartments down to 2k/m old-styled-no-elevator prefab Chinese apartment blocks. Floor space in some places are very cheap too so living with 3 other roomates could also make it very cheap.

For salary, I get paid almost what I would in Sweden, but the tax in China is very low compared to Sweden, around 10-15% in China, so I get a lot more disposable cash. But since there is a lot of fun stuff to do, I don't really hold on to it long.
But my friends who don't really party a lot and don't mind eating street food for less than 10CNY save a lot of money.
>> Black holes don't exist (time dilation prevents them from forming in a finite time)

> It's true that distant observers cannot observe anything past the event horizon. But if you doubt that a black hole exists, you can always dive into it; the black hole will then certainly exist for you, and in a finite time.

But because of time dilation, in the meantime, the entire rest of the universe comes to an end. At the very point at which you pass the event horizon, time dilation is infinite, and therefore the universe outside passes by at infinite speed. Therefore, from our outside observation, no matter actually passes through the event horizon. Therefore, a black hole does not consist of a singularity protected by an event horizon, but rather a sphere of density such that time dilation is almost equivalent to infinity throughout. The sphere is prevented from becoming more dense by time dilation itself.

Now, I know that the above speculation is completely crackpot (but hopefully reasonably informed crackpot), but I would absolutely love to have a proper black hole expert tell me exactly why it is wrong.

I was just looking into LLVM the other day as I was researching the possibilities of cross-compiling Rust to m68k on my Mac and now I simply can't stop reading up on LLVM!

Support for Motorola 68000 has never been finished but this guy's abandoned fork offers an interesting glimpse into how one might start going about it though:

https://github.com/kwaters/llvm-m68k/commits/m68k

A bit over my head for now but I'm using this as a fun occasion to get back into "proper" computer science. Dabbling is my favourite learning mode so consulting the LLVM Programmer's Manual while hacking on a more isolated and really simple task is something I'm very much looking forward to at this point.

Still, if there is anybody with more knowledge who could chip in a bit on supporting m68k or LLVM in general I'd be super curious to read about it :)
(replying to self) Ok, I see now one area where it actually seems to make much sense and looks like it can work very nicely: for stuff like git, vim/emacs, bash, etc. Generalizing, I'd say: for apps/services which happen to have abysmal, irregular UX/API, which often accrued/emerged instead of being designed. A classical reference manual just doesn't work good enough for them, because the "natural" edges/borders in the API are too random and accidental. "SO Docs" as it is now can then organize the chaos, while making it easier to categorize & improve than a typical wiki.

It seems the consensus here is that data plans from US cell providers are more expensive than they should be for their little amount of data. I'm curious what the technical constraints of allowing more data for consumers would be. If increasing everyone's data amount is free for providers, then what's stopping providers from getting in a battle for the largest data amount for a given fixed price? Since this isn't the case, there must be some actual cost/constraint for serving data ofer 3G/4G/LTE.
> I described some of the benefits I am currently experiencing from using microservices where we previously had a monolith.

Sure - I do appreciate it. It's just that my experience in a company that used both was that the microservices weren't worth it - more generally I think a lot of people leap on microservices without thinking about other ways to achieve what they want - so I want to fully work through the options.

> Spinning up multiple components generally takes a few seconds once the image is built, as it is not much more involved than spinning up a new docker container of an image that is already pulled. Each image might take a couple of minutes to build, but because there are no hard dependencies between images (unlike libraries in a monolith) any amount of them can be building and deploying in parallel.

You can do a parallelized build for a monolith too - each component can build in parallel. (Assembling the final image obv. has to be done at the end, but it's a small part of the build time).

> It doesn't really matter how fast the "whole thing" can be built-and-deployed before, because in a monolith, you need every developer building and deploying their own library versions as well as the monolith. Meaning, not only do your changes to production have to wait in the queue for everyone else's, but you unintentionally pick up work from other folks along the way. That road leads down to the environment you describe, where every developer needs at some point to spin up their own dev instance and live on their own branch just to be able to test in isolation, resulting in an organization that requires merging, building, and deploying several times along the way in different environments before the change finally reaches production.

If your team structure is such that you need individually versioned components (which has its pluses and minuses), you can do that while still having a single final deployable.

> I also described a perfect use case of an HTTP interface (or RPC, or whatever language agnostic interface you want to use, it doesn't matter to me and rarely matters in the real world). Data science work is often in a different language space than web work. I'm not going to bundle native Python/R/Clojure dependencies with my node.js apps. It's too much work to maintain those bindings between runtime versions and app versions. I'm not going to force Data scientists to use JS because the library ecosystem is targeted toward completely different use cases. With HTTP or RPC or whatever transport, each team can use the best tools for the job.

I think it's worth mentioning a lot of people jump to HTTP without thinking, when actually something like Thrift is much better suited to an rpc-like use case.

I've actually come to think that the best languages are general-purpose languages and you should just use one language (Scala) for everything. I accept that that's a minority viewpoint though.
