1. Right, they shouldn't, but unfortunately, they had to.

2. From what I hear, Reddit wants the best, but the best are aware that Reddit's brand conceals well-documented dysfunction:

The links go on.

3. I worked recently at a startup where the product was a shambling, swelling mass of features, implicitly designed to obscure its missing core value proposition to both investors and to the founders. There is definitely a difference in the process; perhaps not a meaningful difference in the outcome, which for those invested in the company is impotence, toxicity, despair, etc.
Correct. They deserve it to. Been a poorly ran site for many years.

Yours is a consistent and reasoned approach to making art.

But a lot of what makes modern and contemporary art exciting (for me, anyways) is an ongoing flirtation with what's authentic or made of "real" materials, and what it means to value that, and how artworks are not fixed artifacts but ongoing systems.

If the chocolate bust challenges collectors and scientists to discover new things about preserving chocolate, then that discovery becomes part of the work's story.

My current and previous jobs were with well funded non-IT companies that have an IT arm with their own executive structure. Unfortunately, the company is still shackled by shareholders who have their own ideas and do not understand on one hand, you have a massive company with huge profits. On the other hand you have another area, more nimble that is trying to innovate. Things eventually bleed (or, are bleeding over).

I wish you the best of luck. Not just for your job, but for Walmart. The world needs competition.

The only advantage I see here is memory capacity. Well in the x86 landscape we have AMD giving you access of 1TB for less dollar then Intel. And if you include the COST of 1TB memory, the CPU dollar saving from a CPU is negligible. Not to mention the additional work that needs to port software to ARM.

I still dont see ARM going anywhere in server or workstation ( In the near future ).
reddit is about to suffer the same mass exodus Digg did if they keep up the shit brigade.. That site has gone to hell since the election.. ruined by shills and bots in every subreddit.. can't be bothered w/ it anymore.. sick of reading about Trump and Hillary.
Here's how I understood it...

The DOM elements aren't stateless, but they will behave like they are if you update every attribute that can change in the `$update` function.

Really all you're doing is mutating the DOM objects themselves, but one of them is this magic `$update` function that runs every time one of that element's attributes changes I think. The framework just provides a proxy object for accessing the attributes, and every cell is extensible with custom data and functions. For some fun try overwriting `this.$update` in `$update`.

Another thing I totally missed at first is the fact that you can embed a <script> containing a variable with the `$cell` property anywhere in the page and the cell will show up in that part of the DOM, and you can do this as much as you want.
This looks great, and something I'm going to try using. It looks like it'll work well for small "embeddable" widgets as part of a normal article or blog post.

For some reason this made me think of clojurescript, and I think it might make a nice library for use in cljs as well.
I thought they announced that they killed that experiment? Might be wrong, though, can't find that now

A great thing about the internet is it's decentralization. If you don't have tons of capital or income, you might consider moving to somewhere with a lower​ cost of living and making your app there. You can host it nearly anywhere with an internet connection until you hit a global scale, at which point you should be able to go to a more expensive area.

I recently heard about a guy who was arrested and charged for exactly that. He took a phone home that he found in a carpark, the owner texted it saying "please return to Subway" He went there the next day to hand it in and the police were waiting! Apparently he was supposed to have turned it in to any nearby business at the time he found it. Not tried to find out who owned it the next day.

So how does a successful company continue adding things their customers want, but avoid getting accused of being a monopoly?

From what you're saying, it seems as though the company is damned either way. If you have earned a lot of market share, it doesn't matter whether you charge a high price or the lowest price ($0). Or is the answer just that when you reach a certain size, you should just be killed, never mind the cost to everyone else (including customers that depend on the products being offered as well as employees who have built careers working to make the company successful)?

Large companies don't do everything well, to be sure. But who is going to go out on a limb and fund the big bets, like Xerox PARC, Bell Labs, MSR, etc. if we keep cutting down the tall poppies? Academics have a place, but there are structural organizational and social reasons why they were not able to invent everything we enjoy today.
Seems to be less than reasonably priced.

I know reddit gets a lot of flak for shit-posting content, especially during and after the recent US elections, but it has huge potential to become a consistent part of a users media consumption & participation diet.

I've been following some of that. It's difficult to call, but I don't think it's a serious problem for Reddit, if they do it right.

Situations like this are extremely difficult to predict accurately. It could become a big problem. But it has a decent chance of blowing over.

The main issue is to harness the energy that the moderators currently put into their subreddit. They're not sad that CSS is going away. They're sad their toys are being taken away from them. That's not to trivialize it, not at all -- people like to tinker, and playing with your subreddit and putting your markings on it is a toy for adults. It's a game. It's necessary to replace that with something that feels equally deep and immersive.

Or, you know, just don't mess with the status quo. But if you're going to do it, I think that's why people are rebelling. Not because the functionality is gone, but because they're losing a creative outlet.

Is it right to think that this is the result of multi-platform development tools like Unity, Unreal, etc.

I mean hardware developers coming out to build a gaming console, with a confidence that if the hardware is good, games will come to the platform because of above mentioned tools.

If their console supports game porting from unity or unreal projects, it would be an awesome thing.
Great question. Mostly the latter. We are using GitPrime to track some basic metrics, but don't have anything structured that we're tracking outside of their measurements.

We have trouble estimating how long projects will take, which seems to roll up into failing to adequately spec or appropriately chunk the projects we take on.

Reddit is very different from other social/consumer tech companies in that they are a very small company. Last I heard, they are somewhere around 200 employees. Compare that to how many employees twitter has and you'll notice that actually reddit is evolving their product at a pretty fast pace for the size of the company.

Additionally, from the various threads on reddit that I've seen people post about the company. They've done a lot of work on the background to reduce spam, which isn't something that is super obvious to someone not specifically looking to spam the site.

Same here.

I believe the effect is similar to that of a garden path sentence[1] except instead of discovering a grammatical inconsistency and having to backtrack to re-parse, the grammatical context misleads the lexical level so much so that we "see" 'Paris' where 'Pairs' actually exists. I suspect that the 'P' being capitalized further supports the 'Paris' misinterpretation.

For me it was the casing. We aren't​ used to seeing "Pairs" capitalized, especially so since it is not the first word in the sentence. Paris however, will always be capitalized, so the brain autocorrects to the wrong word. Even though the title is in headline-case, it still fools you.
it's a tradeoff. Which is better, saying "here's how to make a better fishing rod, but I get to be the only one to make it for 20 years" or "I know how to make a better fishing rod, but I'm not going to tell anyone else, this knowledge may be lost at any point, and I'm going to be the only one making them for the next 50 years."

Health care is not naturally given. Someone have to do it. And just like I do not owe you to write code on a whim, the same way doctor is not obliged to slave himself to provide health care for you. (Or are we back to slave times, except this time based on professional occupation?)

When specific doctor provides, or someone donates/volunteers their time/money/etc - you naturally grateful for that, or at least should be, otherwise good luck with that.

> Are these tools really the main source maintenance pain for web developers?

I consider TypeScript (or Elm) support a best practice for "JavaScript" development, so something that brags about not having a development workflow is a non-starter. It's not only not a pain for me, it's a significant missing feature.
It is not the language per se, but the tools around it that makes it amazing.

After years hearing about org-mode, three months ago I finally decided to try it out. Here is how it went.

I started simple. First I watched a short tutorial which gave me the overall idea [1]. Then, I created a simple todo.org file and started fiddling with it. You add lists with * and nests them with more *

* Project
** Code
*** TODO Email my co.
*** TODO Implement foo
** DONE Implement bar

As a side note, I think Markdown syntax is much better visually. org-mode has more clutter when formatting block code, inline code, and URLs. The good thing about * is that nesting is easy.

After that, I started trying out the keybindings: <tab>/<S-tab> folds lists; C-c C-t is a function to cycle between task states; C-c C-s schedules a task for a given day; C-c C-d sets a final deadline; C-c C-a shows the agenda (day/week/month); you can refile entire groups of tasks (C-c w), archive (C-c C-x C-a), move tasks around (M-ArrowUp/ArrowDown), increase depth (M-ArrowRight/Left). These are the main shortcuts I use. You don't need to memorize all, you can access most through M-x org- and hitting tab to see the functions available.

Another useful function: C-c C-l adds a link, which can be an URL, a file, a folder. Then, you can open that link with C-c C-o. It is great to add context to a task, like

* TODO read hacker news article [[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14571453][link]].

Seeing how customizable it is, then I searched how other people used org-mode to manage their tasks. I found two tutorials implementing GTD. I followed this guide [2] entirely, specially its workflow. And I incorporated some ideas from [3], like clocking my time in a task (C-c C-x C-i or M-x org-clock-in for clocking in, and C-c C-x C-o or M-x org-clock-out for clocking out) and the list of task states. Guide [2] suggests using remember-mode, but it has been replaced since then by capture-mode. capture-mode is a function that contains custom templates for adding tasks (like adding date+time of creation and filing to a given tree/asterisk) and writing notes, seamlessly without changing context in emacs.

The thing is, you don't need to learn and implement all at once. You will build your org file incrementally along with its tools, according to your demand. And there are tools for so many stuff.

Finally, there is Orgzly, which is an open source Android app to sync your org files using Dropbox. This was the best combo for me, as I have all tasks synced with me while it keeps all org-mode functionalities, as they are just text files.

A fair warning is that it might have been somewhat easier for me because I was an Emacs user prior to that, so I already knew the shortcuts to move around text.

I believe Sam Altman about this time last year mentioned that Reddit grows by more users than Hacker News has total every day.
One advantage is that multiple languages can target the same IR and benefit from the same optimizations. Another is that more development effort is focused on one IR instead of spreading it across all of the languages targeting it.

One possible disadvantage, you can't gain information by automatically converting code to another representation, but you could potentially lose information that would be relevant to an optimization. I don't know of any practical examples of this happening with LLVM, but I believe Java's type erasure carries a very slight penalty.

Another possible disadvantage is if you have a language designed to be compiled extremely fast, then adding an intermediate step could slow it down unacceptably.
It's pretty clear, to me at least, that they'll become one of the biggest websites of any kind, and with a massive amount of data around what people like and are interested in.

Pretty simple to imagine that being worth far more than $1 billion. Their user growth recently has been astounding.

In the case I listed above, the data (i.e. the training weights) only needs to be read once at the end of training. It'd require move expensive instrumenting of the memristor's which is expensive and bad for general purpose computation unit.

However, comparing the energy needed to modify the neural net data in-situ via analog signals vs shuffling that same data in digital form back-and-forth repeatedly to simulate the analog process seems to provide a viable use case. A quick mental check seems to lean toward back-propagation being "cheaper" in the analog processes as the data doesn't need to be moved while the calculation is performed as part of the same signal propagation via the properties of the analog circuit.

In other words its cheaper to move the computation "units" to the data than to move the data to the computation engine for this particular case. Performing the training in digital form requires repeatedly shuffling all the weights for _each_ training iteration. That process is expensive. Luckily the inherent nature of the back-propagation algorithm adapts to the "sloppiness" of analog circuitry. Transferring the final weights to digital form could require final but light post-processing training to remove particulars of the underlying analog circuits.

But replicating and distributing the final trained model would be more efficient since it only requires a single shuffling of the weight data to apply the neural net and get an answer. Applying the trained model via standard digital means should be cheaper/easier for all the reasons you mentioned previously.

Start eating right, start sleep hygiene, start exercising (I would recommend lifting & yoga).

Go do social things and start building a friend group, your local art scene likely has tonnes of people in a similar situation, sans cash.

You exited with enough money to live for a year, most people call this a sabbatical and dream of having one before retirement, let alone at 29.

I would also recommend stretching this money more than a year by going backpacking in Asia / India.

Your feeling of failure is just that, a feeling, yoga / meditation will let you come to terms with this, you may also want to do counseling.

CSS adds tons of value in sports subreddits. It's used to display stuff like the league standings and details on the day's game.
I agree with the first bit and the last bit. The bit that makes no sense to me is that their value should be predicated on them making at least that much in either profits or some kind of exit.

Since almost all attempts to really monetize Reddit in the past have failed because of massive backlash from the users I wonder what the plan is. There has to be some kind of major change to either Reddit or to the audience to warrant the valuation.
Every time they introduce any changes, the userbase revolts. The outrage that happened when they announced they were going to let people put a bio and photo on their profile pages made it sound like the world was ending.
This is awesome, don't know how I missed it before. Kind of like a more functional Terra. I'll have fun tonight playing around with this.
