I remember a long time ago people pointing out that it was actually posted to Digg first. Imgur's creator says it was posted to multiple services on the same day [1], but that he deleted the original Reddit post. The post saying it was a "gift to Reddit" came a day after the post to Digg failed to gain traction.

For which language? In the case of systems like Clojure, if you're introducing new toplevel bindings you're not going to get completion without direct interactive evaluation (naturally). But everything short of that should be well-formed.

In many cases with common macros I'd add decls for Cursive Clojure + Idea to let me autocomplete introduced bindings. For example, I helped my editor understand unique structure, e.g.,

Exactly. I never understood the benefit of alignment. I actually find it harder to read - by making the starting point of the line less predictable it's harder to skim through and if, say, you rename the function you've now got a much longer diff than necessary.

After talking to several people, I've realised this is very subjective though (what isn't!). I certainly prefer indenting only, without worrying about alignment.

Yes, smart grids can really change hourly consumption. As an example, imagine a world where 1/3 of the cars are electric, and they're long-range cars like the Bolt or Tesla, which only need to be charged every couple of days, not all of the time. A system that looks at the solar/wind forecast and charges your car at the right time can make a huge improvement to the grid on a time-scale of days.

Parasite terminology aside, this is also another entry for the 'digital sharecropping'/'own the platform'/'commoditize your complement' files. Imgur built itself on the Reddit platform; then the platform decided, like Twitter or Facebook, to eat it. Now Imgur is going to be pushed even faster along the wheel of reincarnation for filesharing/image-hosting websites...

Too bad for any of the artists or photographers or content-creators who were depending on Imgur, but, 'Mister you knew I was a scorpion when you picked me up' as the story goes.

I was impressed by the article, and it made a lot of sense to me -- but I've also found that, given sufficiently persuasive writing, I'm easily persuaded that something incorrect is correct in QM, and the only way to get the 'right' answer is to do actually the math. This is why I was curious about your background: if I could reasonably surmise that you had 'done the math' so I didn't have to! (:

Then your thinking is flawed, there is not "who", the process was not "created", it evolved. Nature is not a "who".
That. Except for me Kotlin is TypeScript.

I totally see the appeal of Kotlin. For me, my day to day job is JS and TypeScript makes that a top shelf experience. It seems like the one constant in my work has always been JS and SQL for almost everything I've ever touched. Though in my dichotomy, I never actually need or use Rust. I would like to find an excuse to write a library in Rust.
Not disagreeing with your main point, but it has historically been possible to run Mac OS in a VM. It might take some tinkering that is definitely not as straightforward and easy as some other OS's, and you might be breaking Apple's Terms of Service which require Mac OS to run only on Apple hardware, but it was usually possible.

Other operating systems apart from Mac OS should be much easier to run in a VM, and where they're not, I'd blame that more on the creators of the OS's themselves rather than on Python.
Where else can an image be posted without having to create an account? That's not parasitic, that's a perfect service if I've ever seen one.

I don't think we have the same definition of a parasite or we see things differently. For me a parasite is a startup being a copy-cat, eating your market share, stealing your content, and stealing your customers. But Reddit and Imgur are two different websites. If Reddit was that mad about it, they could have done it in a month on S3... If you want a parasite I will say 9gag.

It's true that Imgur has to grow its product now to something bigger. I won't even give them many years if they don't do that for a product that simple and ephemeral. They have challenges here.
Imgur was more than OK with it. Without Reddit Imgur would not be where it is today.
But does everyone you work with use the same editor/IDE? I think that's where problems begin (and are subsequently solved by the introduction of something like editorconfig).

I assumed you were assuming a "homunculus" definition of free will. (which is reasonable since you give three different philosophical positions on it yet didn't indicate which you subscribed to)

"Actually based on your previous sentence you seem to believe that -- not me."
If you really aren't an individual it's not that hard to extend... You are a collection of finite state machines... Same conclusions apply. However as far as people are concerned you might as well assume a "homunculus" theory since the transitions they care about happen inside a first person narrative (for the most part). Kind of like how classical mechanics isn't exactly precisely true, but still best at explaining macroscopic behavior.

"Look into studies done on patients with severed brain hemispheres. It shows you that there is more than one competing selves."
It shows you that each half of a brain is capable of qualifying as "human". It does not show you there are two competing selves in humans whose hemispheres are connected. Kind of like sometimes one twin absorbs the other in the womb. I bet if you take a random grown adult, partially lobotomize them, entirely remove half their brain, if they're not completely disabled they'll be more on par with dog than human level intelligence.
> Reddit was using Imgur as a free image host, which Imgur was obviously not ok with.

It's funny though, because that's what Imgur was created to be. The problem is it's absolutely unsustainable as a “business model”.
There's pretty much zero information on that page, so why should I care?
> Imgur is essentially a parasite upon reddit

This is true in exactly the same sense that "pastebins are essentially parasites on freenode". Which is to say, kinda not.
I've had somewhat-good results by just disabling Javascript entirely for domains like that.
> I even find comparatively mild things like Ruby's inferred parentheses grating.

I agree with everything you've written and I'd like to note that even Ruby has degenerate cases where you're forced to use parenthesis around things because the parser can't figure out what you mean.

I have an instant dislike for any language that tries hard to make code 'pretty' by removing such indicators.

And to be clear, there's a difference between a concise version of a syntax, such as C#'s lambda syntax, and creating inconsistencies in your language by trying to remove syntax that cannot be universally removed without creating ambiguities.

The former is welcome, the latter is not. Even Ruby has such degenerate cases.

And I like Ruby, but I dislike that design decision.

The question unanswered is: What are the limits?

- Can I have a box each week?

- How many items can I put in the box?

- Do they need to be washed until return?

Why buy, when I can get free ones every week for a fee I already potentionally pay?
For image hosting I use an s3 bucket with MonoSnap (a free program). You can configure Monosnap to record an area of your screen as a gif/mpeg or capture your screen, or you can drop files onto its tray icon, and it will upload the file to s3, and copy a shortened link to your clipboard. For most images it takes about a second. It's been very helpful for me. (http://take.ms/BBVGW)
(In the US) I actually found it weird when I was talking to a loan officer and he asked how much I made. I told him, and he about jumped out of his seat. "PER MONTH?! WHAT DO YOU NEED A LOAN FOR?!"

I was flabbergasted. I'd never had someone ask me how much I make an expect me to say per month. I don't know how much I make per month. I know per year or per paycheck. If you want per month you'll have to get out the calculator, buddy.

I think the 10-20% discounts based on keeping 3-5 items is one point of appeal.

Also the fact that you are the one choosing the items in the box as opposed to having a "stylist" choose them for you could be considered appealing (depending on the person).
Remember, that was worth about $10 at some point (not each, total). I had dozens of bitcoins and sold them when they went up in value by 1000% or so (this was 2011). Still dont regret it, even though I'd be sitting on a quite a bit of hypothetical money if I had kept them.
Sure but don't conflate the EU with Europe, much as the former would like you to.
Right, but why not just pay imgur some $$$ for the privilege of a simple little upload form? That seems like a far smarter idea. Now Reddit is responsible for running not only its current business but also an entirely separate image hosting business. Keep in mind how ridiculously expensive it is to run an image host. Even imgur, which is by far the most acceptable of the popular hosts, has a ton of obtrusive ads.

I have a feeling that this image upload thing was dreamed up by an intern who thought "oh, this would improve our user flow!" while not realizing it might literally double the company's costs in exchange for a gain of a few percentage points more users.

Reddit can't run obtrusive ads (they'd piss off their user base) so where is that money going to come from?

One thing it gets you is a discount from the power company for reducing the max consumption of your house. Many industrial users pay a fee for the near-guarantee that the power company gives that you can pull the max from the grid that your tie-in supports. That kind of charging is coming to residences in some places.
Of course. Where they're comparable is that both are government-mandated interventions. Censorship... Yes, now I think I shouldn't have mentioned that, and omitted previous-to-last paragraph. Sorry about this.

My overall point was unrelated to what the current government does, though - it was that absence of NN can be beneficial - but only if there is a lot of competition, so when not being neutral doesn't help customers but hurts them, there is a proper feedback loop that makes ISP either have losses or reconsider.
Doing it that way at least means your code looks exactly as bad as it is.
Kudos to the author for doing a bunch of good data analysis and investigation. Pro or con against the result it gives a better context in which to read it rather than a simple headline that you can use in the next argument you have.

IMHO while the author touches on Git/OpenSource contributions as part of higher salaries. What it also touches on is people who are working on improving their skills and contributing understanding which is a different individual than somebody who just takes surveys and works at a big company.

I had a crazy idea to relocate the compressor and coil from my fridge to the mechanical room in the basement directly below it. It would cut down on noise and should make the fridge more efficient because it wouldn't be dumping its heat under itself.
Once the heat is dumped in the mechanical room, a heat exchanger around the pipe to the hot water heater would have to help a bit. Even in the summer water out of the ground is pretty cold and anything to take the chill off would be a bonus.

Well, I also commit the faux pas of recommending limiting external dependencies to the standard library in Python whenever possible, resulting in many fewer dependency issues than so many of my colleagues.

So, while occasionally under specified, they are quite well supported and stable.

I do miss out on the fun of sorting out the requests dependency chain with every release of my code, but I'm mostly OK with that.

Aye, but you specifically said "making the things they do illegal" with the implication being that such actions are entirely unnecessary. My point is they are necessary in a society that cares about the rule of law.

You're right to contend that simply adding more laws doesn't help further in general. But that's a considerable climbdown from the position implicit in your post upthread.
Some places already have variable power pricing for consumers. In California it's commonly chosen by people with rooftop solar or an electric car.
In the parts of Europe that I know of, if you have a median job, your paycheck is per month. That is why everyone knows that number the best: it's the one you see most often, appearing every month on your bank account.

That's an unfair comparison. Imgur was originally created specifically to be an image host for reddit users, and succeeding in that market, slowly tried to become a reddit competitor on the back of reddit traffic.

Pastebins are merely text hosts.
On the other hand, if my editor has to incorporate a full-blown parser for your program's (meta)language in order for me to find where something's defined, then maybe your program needs refactored more than my editor needs replaced. Or perhaps better documentation on your program's part and/or better education/familiarization on my part is warranted.

Most modern editors are able to horizontally scroll and thus handle long lines in source code. That doesn't make a 500-character-long line of code acceptable by any stretch.
wider platform, more developers with loaded tools. Hmm appvolution soon. nice!
But the problem only happens when you use tabs _and_ spaces. Don't blame the tabs!
"For me a parasite is a startup being a copy-cat,"

The parasite metaphor does not include the idea of being a "copy-cat"; parasites in the real world do not do the same things as their host. Indeed, that is the entire point of a parasite, in some sense; to take advantage of the host setting up various expensive systems to survive and just using them instead of developing their own.

There are some good reason for using spaces instead of tabs and good reasons but I'm sure it's mostly just a uniform. It's now a cultural meme that spaces is better, and people who are exposed to this meme tend to be more connected to the higher end of the community than people who aren't. It's like the correlation of people who curse making lower salary and people who wear suits making higher salary.
Interesting. Months aren't all the same, especially if you get paid weekly/biweekly, which seems universal here in the US. I assume it's a weekly52/12 or biweekly26/12? That's what I use for my own personal budgeting, but I've never seen others refer to monthly pay before. I do find it convenient to think about pay this way, since so many expenses are on a monthly schedule (rent, utilities, credit cards, car loans, insurance).

EDIT: OK, another comment specified that it's common to receive monthly pay in parts of Europe, rather than weekly/biweekly.

Stitch Fix's proposition isn't free returns - plenty of places sell clothes online with free returns - Stitch Fix's appeal is that they will do the work of picking out potential items for you so that you don't have to comb through hundreds of items to find what you want.

It mostly just seems like Amazon is bringing free returns to the low end of the market.
