What about putting a small banner / notice right above the code editor that explains the user must register before executing code? I'm honestly not intentionally trying to create an annoying site, it's just when you have users running code you legitimately have to take some security precautions. I'll put some thought into how I can communicate this to the user... My favorite idea so far is to just let the user execute code X number of times and then prompt for registration.
Thank you. The article said "Reddit alternative" in the headline and kept talking about "social bookmarking" in the main text. If Reddit was a social bookmarking site still, is have left long ago.

edit: Registered. Is this a joke? 262px from the start of one submission to the next. Reddit: 98px. So I guess it actually is a social bookmarking site where people can post memes. But certainly no Reddit competitor. Maybe a pinterest competitor.
No, it would suck more, because currently you have an option to avoid string.intern() altogether (and that is what you should do), and pay nothing for that in runtime. Another boolean flag may cost extra 4-8 bytes on the heap for each String object, whether you use String.intern() or not.

29,000,000 / 27,000 = ~1,074 falls per death. ~At 1,000$ per fall that's ~1,000,000$ per death which seems reasonable on average.

However, medical expenses are top heavy. Some of those falls probably cost 200,000+$ because they cause long term medial issues. If a faculty is spending ~1,000+$ on an a median fall their average is going to be much higher than that. Which is a sign they really are providing unnecessary procedures.
>>> How can you possibly know _in advance_ if a prop will be needed outside a certain component (you haven't written yet) or not? This seems to imply a suggestion to completely architect the entire app (what components exist, how they relate) before you write much code. And then somehow being correct, even as you develop the app and add new features etc.

In engineering, that's what we call the design phase.
Full length stories and analysis are still very much in demand, but the actual news communication aspect of the profession is indeed doomed.

flat design and washed-out colours are great compared to the graphics-and-rounded-edges horror that we used to contend with. Everything else, I agree with - especially around indistinct controls. Modals are fine as long as they have a clear shadow background and there's some kind of cancellation button on the main modal - and also, pressing ESC or clicking the shadow should close a modal. That's just UX 101.
Literally all coverage of Venezuela and bitcoin has come from bitcoin promoters, interesting-sounding claims being reprinted without verification. None of it I've seen traces back to anywhere else.

What we actually see: 370 BTC a week on LocalBitcoins, which is negligible in the context of the country.

The closest to a verifiable claim: that miners who were stealing electricity were arrested. Of course, stealing the electricity has long been a favoured Bitcoin mining strategy.
I think we can all agree that developers can get better educated about security and can participate building security into the product from the very start. It is hard to engineer security in via a sec-team at a later stage. Education is the key.

As sort of a sidenote: websites about UX seem to have the worst UX. Clicking the link, I'm not only met by a social sharing bar that uses 1/6th of the screen and screws scrolling up (because for some reason it should follow through my scrolling but somehow only be visible when scrolling upwards), but a faux-chat window overlaying the content where a Tom is asking me how he can help me. Not at all, thank you. At least being so up-front about how absolutely terrible your website is means I didn't stay long enough for a modal asking me to subscribe to their newsletter to pop up.

Does anyone actually believe that this crap leads to a better user experience? Are UX concepts and standards so inbred that the people involved just can't separate chocolate pudding from excrement anymore?

Flat design is bad UX because it took a useful and familiar dimension, simulated depth, out of the toolbox. I agree that simulated depth was over used and that the minimalist aspect of flat UI did improve aesthetics in many cases, but it was a net loss due to the UX problems it caused. The right thing was to do depth aesthetically correctly (only a few pixels are needed, and only on important elements) while still retaining the usability advantages of it.

Unfortunately the design world (and the art world more generally) appears to be extremely prone to binary thinking: either something is obviously wonderful, or it must be discarded completely.
Classic. They moved a big ship and then tried to move it back and hysteresis took hold. This is what unions do. They're like giants without brains, pulling and pushing levers they do not understand. They're driven by short-term fear and reactive behaviour. The fact that they hold any sort of power here is an outrage.

It's quite clear to me what needs to be done here. America needs to import medical professionals. They're out there, they're needed here.

Your emotional overreaction to this site has induced bias leading to a false negative -- mistaking hype for signal. Fact is, using deep learning, newbie grad students have routinely and resoundingly outperformed nearly all the state-of-the-art techniques in signal processing in less than FIVE years of trying. Image analysis and speech recognition have been revolutionized; 40+ years of R&D expertise has been largely supplanted in the blink of an eye. Dismiss this tsunami at your own peril.

Does DL scale to harder problems? Why yes, it does. No computer implementation of the game Go had outperformed the best humans until deep learning was used, then it beat the best humans almost immediately (unlike chess which took decades to reach that level using traditional AI methods). I have little doubt that significant achievements await DL's application to more complex tasks like language analysis too. To believe otherwise would be severely short-sighted.

Does deep learning also solve trivial pattern rec problems like regression or curve fitting as efficiently as some linear ML models? No, but who cares? By that reasoning, we should dismiss Einstein because many 12 year old children can multiply numbers faster and for less money.

But a wild, freely growing forest also has beauty. An entire neighbourhood "nestled" in such an overgrowth, sustaining a healthy biome also is beautiful no?

The evolution of a no-lock, no-wait write consolidation algorithm in WiredTiger
Sue LoVerso of the WiredTiger team wrote an article in two parts about updating the lock-free algorithm the WiredTiger write-ahead log uses to consolidate writes. The original algorithm, based on the research paper "Scalability of write-ahead logging on multicore and multisocket hardware" published in the Very Large Databases Journal, was a very nice peice of engineering, but was inappropriate for the loads WT would see as a storage engine embedded in MongoDB. To handle a large increase in the number of threads per available core, it had to be updated to be entirely wait-free.

As a person who can't stand air-conditioned air, I'd love to work in a building that breathes. That, and all the other considerations that went into designing this masterpiece make it seem like it would be the most pleasurable corporate environment to work in, period.

I have the same misgivings with crowdfunding hardware, but I ended up backing this project. The same group has shipped two other similar portables in the past, and have some working prototypes. Seems like they know what they're doing.

Edit: I think a big part of it is that they've had prototypes since the campaign launched, but filled the promo page with mostly renders for some reason. If you look at the Updates section, you can see some photos and videos of it in action.
About half the devs in my team have their font rendering cranked up on their desktops, and they're all in their 20s, so it's not just old people who benefit from this.

iOS 6 was the pinnacle of iOS UI discoverability. I'm still baffled at some of their decisions. That slide-to-unlock element was perfection. It never needed to change because you almost certainly can't do any better (OK, sure, using the home button to trigger unlock now is better, but as far as on the screen unlock initiators, that's it). Any kid or oldster immediately understood it. And 3d-ish buttons are a thing for a reason. It's gotten a little better since the WTF-is-this-shit days of iOS7, but not much.

It went from "what should my grandma use? Definitely an iPad, no question" to "what should my grandma use? Ugh, god, a Chromebook I guess?"

Now force-touch, and new gestures, and crap sliding from the top and bottom of the screen, on top of everything else. It's much easier to get lost in for someone who's half-terrified of computers, which is still lots of people, and I'm not sure it's much better for the rest of us, either.

> flat design and washed-out colours are great compared to the graphics-and-rounded-edges horror that we used to contend with

* The side panel overlaps with the content when the window is not in full-screen.
