My trust is broken.

Am I a provably nasty actor who ... etc?

My trust has been broken repeatedly, by things like the Snowden documents (and the media coverup of its contents) and Iraq War propaganda (with media participation), and yes by gamed use of scoring algorithms and selective/politicized moderation of social media.

My trust was particularly broken when Facebook censored (literally did not allow me to post) Snowden documents.

When I see media coverage today of, let's say Syria, and see all the ways its spun and partially covered, it's hard for me to have faith in the rest of what's being said.

And - regarding censorship of let's say even the most vitriolic of activity or just plain widespread belief in certain communities of certain facts - do you want a Trump Administration (or really any state police) to be in charge of that?

I was criticized as being a paranoid conspiracy monger for speaking about US government surveillance before Snowden, and for being vocal about the fact Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, wasn't connected to Anthrax, and didn't have weapons of mass destruction.

People called me paranoid, vitriolic and a 'truther', creating a straw man of my case and finding every reason not to listen to what I had to say. A million people dead and a destabilized region later, with a vacuum filled by religious extremism exploited for proxy war - and still people can barely muster up a revision to their earlier perspective and an admission that the Iraq War was not only illegal, but a war of choice, a war of aggression and one bolstered by an extremely efficient and systemic capability to propagandize not only the American people but all audiences of US broadcasting.

I have good, justified reasons to have broken trust. Today I trust, but I verify. And I continually find spin, mis- and dis-information playing a huge role in public, 'polite' conversation.

I dislike being called a paranoid conspiracy monger (again) by the implications of your comment. I watched Reddit transform after it got acquired and Twitter transform after it fell to State Department pressure. I've watched Facebook game its results for a long time, as it has every legal but no moral right to do.

My trust has legitimate reasons to be broken, and invoking 'conspiracy mongering' as an explanation heals no wounds and does not move the community closer to solving the credibility problem of public information services.
Maybe, but it is a disappointing reason. I imagine OP was hoping for some insightful, more objective reason for this.
Nah that ain't me. I rarely comment on such matters actually. Like you said Go and Python serve quite different purposes and each do their jobs well. I use both on a regular basis and I've been using Python for over a decade. But I still think there's something to be said for simplicity in any language.
If you use systemd you can assign services to slices which can be assigned cgroup resource reservations / limits. I don't think any distro does too much with this out of the box yet (IIRC by default all services run under a single "system" slice, and user sessions under a user slice), but it should be possible to run an "emergency environment" slice in which the processes are always guaranteed some small amount of resources necessary to recover.
What if you instead of buying the company you buy the assets? Why would anyone buy a company with negative value?

Once the operations have failed the various creditors likely benefit from reasonably priced sales the assets.
Maybe in 5 years time and IF DARPA will allow it:

My opinion is not valuable, since I don't know the laws in your jurisdiction. Since, in order to have a proper DNR order in your jurisdiction, you probably need to talk to a doctor, you should just ask them what the requirements are. Again, in New Jersey, what you say will be sufficient, and you can even have a DNR bracelet which is accepted without any further documents, but it's not just some bracelet which says "DNR", it is a non-removable hospital-type bracelet of an official design which has the name of the physician on it, if I recall. What I am trying to discourage is people engraving "DNR" on whatever bracelet or necklace they have, or tattooing it on their chest, without consulting a doctor or getting a proper order or anything else. This will generally not be sufficient, although, again, I don't know for your country or state or town specifically.

EDIT: Let me just add that for most people, a living will is really what they want when they think of preventing lingering in the ICU. A living will can say, for example, that in case you become unable to function, and your condition will not improve according to your doctors, you do not wish to be placed on a respirator, or have feeding tubes inserted, or to be resuscitated. (Of course you should consult advisers to put this together.)

A living will is not the same as a DNR order; it is more general. I think for most people it doesn't hurt to have it. On the other hand, walking around with a DNR order on you, if you are a person without a known great risk for cardiac arrest, is kind of pointless, IMO. You may, after all, become incapacitated in ways that do not involve cardiac arrest (like traumatic head injury or stroke).
> You need knowledge and smarts, one is given by your genetics the other is free online.

That works for a certain kind of learner: people who are already good at breaking down a problem into constituent parts, who are driven enough to chase down the resources they need and to figure out how things fit together, and who want to learn about the topics that are most available online.

There are a lot of other intelligent people who could do valuable things with an education, but who lack one or more of those characteristics.
Still no VS 2013 support? We're stuck on 1.8 for a while. It would be great if they supported VS 2013 at least until they release 2017.
I'm getting a 404 on this. Anyone else?
If you're using Python 3.5, use tracemalloc, it is much nicer for this sort of thing.

It isn't. It's a relevant demonstration of how/why some users are very distrustful of Reddit's actions.
For this particular app, yes. However, more more complex UIs I think that Electron has some benefits that QT does not. The UI tools available to web applications is miles ahead of desktop. The benefit the technology set gives us in productivity will hopefully produce higher quality apps at lower costs. FOr example, I'm considering it for a big data front-end because of all the high quality graphing libraries and reactive template libraries available for web applications. Plus I don't need to retrain the team.

This app it is kind of overkill, though.
I imagine the letters to the left are important, but I guess I won't know for sure, because of social media.
I'm not a fan of reddit, but occasionally they have some brilliance.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I should probably be more clear with the message about what the intent here is as I work on the overall design.

The intent is not so much to just list reviews by product, but rather to create a curated list of high quality resources for researching. Sort of a "first place to go" when shopping for equipment. Since the site is so new, it looks like (and really is in its current form) a pretty generic list, but one of my goals is to guide people towards more popular items and create filters for different lens ecosystems, etc.

Anyway, thanks again!
In the U.S., there is no right to a lawyer for any civil case, and for that matter not even in a criminal case. You have to be both destitute and a criminal defendant to receive a court-appointed lawyer.

Many people believe that all criminal defendants are entitled to a lawyer at government expense, but in fact they are not. Unless you are indigent, you'll be required to hire a lawyer yourself or do without.
I'm fairly sure it has a grammar.
JavaScript already allows you to do something very similar to extension methods by extending prototypes.

OTOH, a function accepting an object which implements a specific interface as a parameter will make your code much more easier to extend, instead of modifying the prototype of a concrete class.

Instant Twitter Bios for the Creatively Challenged
One problem with /. is that it favors the quick post. The maximum score is +5, so the tiebreak of whoever posted first comes into play very quickly. So there is a race to post quickly among those who want their opinion to be heard.

This looks really cool. Can't wait to try it.
if all things remain the same in terms of computing power and availability of data

Right, but that's exactly the thing that is changing. All the promises of "Big data" can now actually be realized. The trick is that for the data sources that were set up long ago, is cleaning them and making sure they are structured correctly.

On the one hand I think college's value is overstated.

On the other hand I think a lot of people who promote the mentality described in this article seem driven mostly by ego stroking ("I'm so smart and motivated I don't need college I just learn on my own") and remain ignorant.

Still this is an obviously great opportunity for any young person and is well worth exploring. College is a fine fallback if you "fail."
This article reads as though the author is trying to convince himself of his own importance. I appreciate the sentiment, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.
It would be nice to have a clearer understanding of how the algorithm works, and how it purports to stop vote manipulation from state actors, like the capabilities of the GCHQ and NSA from the Snowden documents or the astroturfing contractor centers for the DoD (Earnest Voice, etc).

I'm thinking maybe the algorithm changes slightly alter some brigading from communities, but probably can't handle state-sponsored manipulation.
Sure, but things are wavey and blurry, you can't always foresee if a dedicated sub should be created, sometimes it's in waves.
You should do the same test with Keep-Alives enabled to the backend.

Even without moderation, anonymous imageboards have their own way to derail civilized discussion.

Someone could post a thread with an interesting premise, and the first response could be $racial_slur, and then the hivemind would repeat the process and spam $racial_slur indefinitely without any kind of real discussion going on. For the lulz.
I've tried it and it's awful. If you don't like the language, go code in Ruby. If your company makes you code in Javascript, you are in the wrong job, let someone who knows and loves JS do it.
I don't mind the risk. I think it's great there's a way to support cool product ideas that still need time and money to figure out if it will work.

It's not for everyone, but I'd be happy to back a hardware project knowing there's a solid chance it might not succeed, especially on the more niche products. Someone has to.

But I do think risky product creators can compensate their backers better for the risks and for taking a chance on them. For example I think it would be great to see something like a behind the scenes component with more sharing of the process as they go. Maybe like a weekly vlog about them building this new product from scratch, with successes and failures and what they are learning. The company doesn't have to show anything proprietary. It's like behind the scene DVD but for a product not a movie. I'd watch it. Plus all the backers would know that the creators tried and if they are failing, the reasons why. It could be interesting and entertaining. And if doesn't work they would at least have shared what they learned which others can learn from too. Anywho I don't see this happening.
Maybe the algorithm should be guided somehow by an indication that you like to be challenged. Replying to a post would be a good indicator you had some affinity to it, even if only to debate it.
It depends on the context. In JS variadic parameters are also supported. This is like complaining they confusingly use curly braces around function bodies while you got used to them surrounding object declarations :)
There used to be this Pakistani run diner across the street from the rear entrance of Hotel Pennsylvania on 7th avenue in NYC. Their breads were delicious - better than most that I've eaten here in India. Gave me the impression that our long lost fellow countrymen across the border have an enviable time at the dinner table by comparison. Unfortunately, haven't had the chance to sample the "real thing" in its natural habitat. Maybe someday!
another anecdote - ive been using TS2.1 for the last month on three interconnected projects - a rest api, an express app and also for client side code in that express app - it has been a great experience. async/await is a godsend and @types/ makes what used to be a terrible process much more streamlined and easy. If you have to write JS, typescript is the best way ive ever found.
Yoga's layout API is very similar, if not a direct copy, of the web's Flexbox. Which funny enough means that we might get a chance to use Flexbox on the desktop before we can use it on the web. (I'm looking at you IE and your continuing partial support: http://caniuse.com/flexbox)

"Do you think there's room for a new discussion site which embraced all these lessons that other discussion sites seem to perpetually be ignoring (perhaps due to simple entrenchment)?"

There's a ton of discussion sites. It's not "reddit or HN or nothing"; it's a question of which of the bajillion forums, blogs, link aggregators, email lists, or other things you're interested in joining. There's room for all kinds of more of them, too. There's so many choices it's more a discovery problem than an availability problem.

However, if you go into it with the hopes of being the next thing that is the size of Reddit, statistically, you're going to be disappointed.

It isn't even clear to me that this is a very good goal, either. Running a site the size of Reddit is an enormous, enormous hassle. The controversies currently associated with it at the moment are merely specific instantiations of the general fact that you can count on being vilified by a good 20%+ of the community once you reach that size, that every change will be met with a huge outpouring of hatred straight into your contact box, and so on. Goodness help the poor person trying to start The Next Reddit (TM) with the naive idea that it is a good idea to be very available to the community... all that does is add to the inevitable flames some fresh flames when you have to reneg on that promise too. Unless you've got a solid plan to monetize enough to make it worthwhile, fast enough for it to be worthwhile, while still somehow organically growing without that getting in the way, I'd suggest shooting for starting a community for $X, for some value of $X of interest to you, rather than trying to be The Next Reddit (TM).
That is a completely disingenuous take on what was stated.

The subreddit in question specifically and continually used the tool in a negative, unconstructive manner, which is obviously not what it is designed for. Other subreddits use the mod tool in various ways that don't have anything to do with the explicit purpose of stickied posts, which I pointed out, but notice I didn't label that as abuse.
I work on a consulting company. We have extremely aggressive deadlines, and work with less than capable people on both sides of the table.

This means sometimes that takes a usual programmer a few minutes to change a line of code and promote it to UAT.

Forget the number of bugs that happens after this. Yeah, the number is VERY high, but is subjective. Think about the overall state of the program. When all that matters is velocity, people takes all forms of shortcuts. OO is out of the window. Hardcode? What about things that should've been parameters and are not only hard-coded, but spread along many files?

TL;DR OP case seems contrived, or at least the other extreme. Processes should be followed. If the factory stopped because of that single line - or any other, someone would ask: all this to save 6 man days?
There's a great documentary about Frank Frazetta called Painting with Fire. Later in life he suffered a stroke that paralyzed his right hand. He taught himself to paint and draw again with his left.
So this is totally a hack, but have you tried changing the manifest in the VSIX (it's just a zip file) and seeing if it installs?

> you are building hardware with them

Actually, not quite, not with FPGA. Sure, you can use an HDL to synthesize a custom microchip, in which case you indeed would be "building hardware", but you can also target an FPGA specifically, in which case you would essentially be programming a kind of a computer in a way similar to how it was done on those (early) switchboard-based computers that were configured by manually making wired connections between a fixed set of logical and arithmetical devices. You could say that one would be "building hardware" in such case as well, but since the system could be easily reconfigured at any time so that it could perform a different function, to me it looks more like programming... (I guess, the right way to look at this is as something where the distinction between hardware and software gets blurred to the point that any serious argument about the meaning of words becomes, well, meaningless.)

It wasn't about Trump at all, thus the spin, and introducing unnecessary politics.

>It wasn't trump supporter comments, it was comments that said exactly "fuck spez." Misrepresenting it as "trump supporters" gives it a decidedly different, post-truth spin.
