Cell has a fundamentally different architecture than other frameworks, so I don't think it's fair to compare it with how you would use other frameworks.

The whole point of cell is to build the simplest building block you can compose to build complex structures, and a lot of the problems faced by other traditional approaches can be tackled in a different manner using Cell.

From my experience I can build fairly complex apps without having to worry about all the problems you mentioned, they are just structured differently.

If you have time, I really suggest you try playing around with it, If you still don't like it you don't have to use it, but I'm sure it brings some interesting ideas to the table that cannot be experienced by just reading the homepage.
I love Reddit, but remind me what's their business model? I've never seen an ad using Relay For Reddit. Free content is great but how do they keep the lights on much less justify $1.7 billion? (Also, HN. Servers are cheap but how do they pay dang to tell me I'm being toxic?)
Sorry, my wife sent it to me, didn't realize there was a different source. Too late to edit now :(

Although the first reply there says the original source was https://mobile.twitter.com/JesalTV/status/875705460313255936 FWIW
Or a lisp that forsakes those things to gain the advantage of compile time type checking etc.
On the contrary, UTF-8 is the one that is long, up to 50% longer than UTF-32. (Unless you happen to have a disproportionate number of low code points.)

No free lunches!
You can't even edit the title of a Reddit post. That's been known for years and nothing's been done about it.
Apparently the book is about "inner-city" fathers:

> Doing the Best I Can is a strikingly rich, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among inner-city men often dismissed as “deadbeat dads.”

It seems the article presents their findings as universal across of all fathers, which doesn't make much sense considering the dynamics that different cultures bring, amongst a host of other potential factors.
I am not really sure how to answer that.

I could say people leave HK because it's expensive and crowded and they no longer believe in its economic prospects, and are scared of how it may change by its proximity to China. And that some people's choice, or fear, not entirely related to China or, too lesser extent, HK being a police state isn't really a comment on my point that police states can work.

Singapore i don't know as much about. I can't tell you with any confidence why people leave there. I have heard the distrust of LKY before, but I've also hard a lot of love and admiration for what was achieved. I could be wrong but I thought that ethnic Chinese usually had a better time in SG, and Malaysians and ethnic "dark skins", either SG natives or immigrants, had a worse time, and would be more inclined to leave. But your username suggests you're Chinese background, so I have that question. But then i know there's a whole grassroots Chinese anti establishment movement in SG, in the same vein as HK students in Umbrella, like the asylum seeker kid, Amos Yee. Singapore is a very multiethnic place, and I know very little about it, so, you see I could have things all mixed up here or be missing important parts of the picture.

I can say tho that I think single party states work better like the Chinese model, and not when they, in my view, degenerate into a dynasty. Because the family descendents may not have the same passion or ability to rule as the originator. SG keeps improving, and I think the dynastic aspects are obstructing the son's rule and, the effectiveness of the police state suffers, and more vulnerabilities to misuse of its organs enter, when the ruler is not as strong. In other words, a strong state needs strength at the top and ask the way down, outrageous it starts to eat itself and fall apart. A melt bit of that erosion is surely happening in SG today.

Again, not that i really care so much about proving any point right, but, a weakened SG, or some people's dislike of it, is not really a good point saying that police states don't work. Since what weakened it is not a requirement of a police state, and while some prefer elsewhere, others prefer and love SG.

I hope this didn't offend you. I'm looking to learn more about SG, and while i think nothing can sub for lots of first hand experience, I'm happy if you can say more.

Also all I'm hearing lately about Sweden is bad news about how rapists are getting off free because they are immigrants and Muslims and the Swedes are trying to tolerate their rape culture. Tolerance is a useful virtue only so far as you don't tolerate things that harm your values. To me that's a bad sign of decline for Sweden. I'm sure there's also lots of things great about Sweden, and I'd probably like to travel there. But also, Europe is changing, but not necessarily adapting, and it's easy to romanticize it based on its past reputation. I think the best of Europe can be enjoyed if you're really rich. And can insulate yourself from how the standard of living at the low end has decreased due to stagnation and migration.

As noted in the writeup, sample size is crucial for text data, particularly for text which is idiosyncratic (and Trump's tweets are very idiosyncratic). And also as noted, the modeling is from 2013, and internet lingo has evolved significantly since then. (it's also a reason I hate pretrained word vectors like GloVe from around then).

Fortunately, Reddit has millions and millions of contemporary submission titles available in a publicly available and easily downloadable format. :)

I imagine a lot of their expenses are used on keeping certain things off the website and to keep it becoming like 4chan
Security (token) sellers get lots of money up front. Security (token) sellers then appear to work a little bit until they move on to their next security (token) sale. Actual purchasers of "token" never exceed 10% of total purchasers because projects use is mostly Ponzi gambling.

All fun and games till the SEC decides enough people have lost their life savings, and calling things tokens instead of shares is comedy.
This sounds awesome but i use windows phone and your website is just a blank page for me! IE on Windows phone has quirky JS support. Just fyi. I will check this from another device.
I was just going to say the same thing. I need some beer.
Well, I am intruiged.

I say this because i've found recently i can focus and produce much better without a keyboard, but rather a pen and paper. George R R Martin uses DOS/word perfect, IIRC. Many have used typewriters, pens, pencils, etc etc. I find a writer's tools to be interesting in themselves.
I know for a long time the engineering team was not very big, certainly not the "usual" size of a team with that much traffic (Instagram not withstanding). My guess is the team was simply keeping up with the normal expansion of complexity that comes with scale.

That said, I believe they are heavily recruiting at all levels so if you want to work for Reddit, apply now.

Non-frustrated Scala user here. I recommend you not switch in that case.

You'll have to admit though: the greatest strength and weakness of Scala is Java.
To be clear: nowhere in this paper did we claim any particular solution is useless. However, the degree to which these systems are useful, and what situations they are useful for, is not well-understood. Prior work has shown that the encryption used in many of these systems is breakable (i.e. the plaintext is recoverable with near-perfect accuracy) with simple attacks. See, for example, this recent paper (https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/895) on cryptanalysis of order-revealing encryption.

Respectfully, I find this "more secure stuff is slow so we have to live with what we've got" argument to be specious. There simply is no evidence that a fast encrypted database must also provide very weak confidentiality guarantees.
That's almost certainly by design. Just as with tweets, it would be massively abused.
Tldr: it's built using Dhingra et al.'s Tweet2Vec system - https://github.com/bdhingra/tweet2vec to convert tweets into word vectors and then looks at the cosine similarity to find similar tweets of yore
No, I'm not referring to the article in this case. I'm saying just in general, Wikileaks is hardly the angel some people make it out to be sometimes.
With the immense and demographically diverse userbase, I imagine keeping the site running smoothly and user analytics is their chief focus. Their strategy probably is to introduce changes slowly so as not to alienate or confuse people (I'm looking at you Facebook).

Also, they expose their data via an API that developers have used to make all sorts of features, giving them the luxury of being able to basically test features without actually implementing them.
I'm vegan. "Plant-based" is not a panacea and not automatically healthy. This article is one-dimensional when there are multiple health considerations including both cholesterol effects, cancerous compounds in cooking vapors and cancerous compounds like aldehydes generated depending on the amount and time of heating.

In general, olive oil is the healthiest oil to use for frying, both in terms of cholesterol effects and aldehydes. Furthermore, oil consumption can be greatly reduced by good cooking and minimal frying techniques.

The graph in this news report probably started the coconut oil cargo cult, which overlooked its inherent unhealthiness:

Mine is like that, sort of. I do mention some of the techs I'm confortable with in a specific section, but when describing previous positions I never mention the techs/stack that was in use. I focus on the problems I solved, the value I added for the company, what was the state of the business when I joined and when I left.

With zero inside knowledge, it appears to me that they have a very brittle legacy feature set due to scale concerns, tolerated integrations/extensions, and being held hostage by the community. There is new product feature development happening but it appears disjointed from the legacy, which could indicate leadership conflicts on priority, an inability to marry the old and new, or an inability to devote time to anything but upkeep of the legacy.

Previous large-scale changes have been presented to their community and generally have been panned by the community, and often unreasonably so.
They can barely get the Internet right, so that may take a while.
The reddit.com website has some ads on it. Relay probably uses their API, which doesn't include any ads.
The intention is good, e.g. 1, 2 and 3 can be written in as many strokes as they represent, an S already looks like a cosine-curve (as it's depicted on e.g. synthesizer interfaces). But after that it becomes tedious because there is only so much space for entropy in a small area even with printed symbols. Bigger symbols, ie. diagrams are embraced already in many areas. Geometric representations are embeddings of mathematical objects in the real world.
Of course improved symbolism had the potential to improve learning. Another way to achieve that is reduction of formalism, structure is much more important to avoid repetition. Mathematical didactic is very much concerned with that, but I see no didactic arguments in the paper, its only stylistic.
my `flawed` example is fine for what I'm using it for: demonstrating that PSQL won't use a partial index in an obviously common use case. Feel free to argue about the semantics of what is a prepared statement vs parametrized query vs whatever, but the fact is that the PSQL planner does not evaluate the subquery select prior to execution nor is it capable to alter its original plan after execution of the subquery.

This makes partial indexes of EXTREMELY limited use for complex queries which often need to pass a non-literal or do a join on a partially indexed column.

In fact, it is this EXTREMELY inconvenient limitation that often forces people to rearchitect large tables around a set of smaller tables with inheritance and check constraints, so that the planner will do index scans on the smaller tables, rather than a huge index.

In fact, if partial indexes were properly architected and supported, it would eliminate 90% of the use cases for partitions in PSQL. Partitions, by the way, are also a sham in PSQL 10, merely putting some syntactic sugar over table inheritance and what is basically a table-routing insert/update trigger. The current planner support for them is a joke / non-existent / worse than roll-your-own inheritance with check constraints and triggers.

They don't have to pay dang for that I'll be happy to oblige, this is a toxic comment because of that last bit, essentially you are just stirring the pot and baiting the moderators.

As for the value of HN to YC: it's a recruiting and marketing machine the likes of which you'll rarely find for any kind of money, I suspect that no matter what Dan and Scott are paid it is well worth it to YC.
I think the first reaction when people see Cell is to compare with existing frameworks and existing best practices.

And when you come from that direction, Cell is a terrible framework that doesn't follow any best practices and does things in a weird way. But the thing is, Cell is fundamentally different from other approaches. That's why a lot of "best practices" don't apply and don't make sense for Cell.

If you go back in history, people hated angular because it went against the general wisdom of "separate view from logic", and react was shunned because it had some weird way of doing things. But I think they solve problems in unique ways that make peoples lives easier in different ways, and that's what matters at the end of the day.

And I am confident that Cell can make people's lives significantly easier in another different way. So I suggest you actually play around with the examples at https://play.celljs.org

Words don't mean anything really because the problem we're trying to solve is come up with a dead simple easy way to build web apps, which is not really easy to grasp when just thinking about theories. Hope this helps!
So is public shaming.
Hi, I'm the author. Please keep in mind that I wrote this when I was 16.

Thanks for your comments -- I agree with many of them. The only part of this that I still think is at all interesting is the section on quantifiers, and to a lesser extent the octal numbers. And I don't think they're that interesting. In general, while I do think there is interesting potential for improving notation -- Feynman diagrams come to mind as a somewhat modern example of notation impacting research -- I don't think this is what it looks like.

> he proposes replacing well-known, well-distinguished symbols (alphabets and digits) with symbols that reflect a certain geometric interpretation.

That's what most of it is, although the quantifiers are a more "grammatical" change. I think the best defense I can level of the symbol proposals is that the people most effected by low-level notational choices like symbols are probably young students learning them for the first time. It seems plausible there might be significant pedagogical gains in other symbols.
How do you determine impact on price?
Also for context, Reddit found a lot of steam when Digg suffered a mass exodus based on seismic product shifts. I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit was consciously and unconsciously averse to that kind of mutation.
well, they are developing quite a bit, but they test out the features among subsets of their user base long before the features are available to everyone. And in most cases they probably turn out to not be as good as they seemed they would be, and are tabled. They are pretty careful about changing things... I mean, if it ain't broke.

Personally I prefer it far, far more than the constant changes some startups seem to feel is necessary to justify their existence.
Search for .md docs, would it be useful?
For those of you, who prefer storing docs in Markdown, alongside with the code or in a separate repo.
What would you think about being able to see them anytime you want through something, looking like Apple Spotlight?

A short screencast with how it looks like: http://d.pr/v/vnmH6a

I'm using it myself and find it quite convenient. But I'm definitely biased because I've created it, so asking HN if it looks useful at all or not.

How about this vs wiki for faster onboarding?
Sorry about that!

I'm using some in-house library I built myself to run the webpage but hadn't realized it fails on an IE. Will fix it!
I had another brainstorm. With respect to rhythms where #3 is relatively loud, which describes most rock:

I think it's actually a bit of a trick. It causes the song to sound faster. The reason is because the snare or whatever on #3 is perceived as being incongruously loud, too loud to be an echo. Which gives the impression that it's a second main beat, splitting the measure into two halves and making it sound like 2/4.

Having said that, it might also make sense to consider it an echo of the bass drum. You could remove the snare and leave the bass drum and it would sound ok. If you tried to remove the bass drum and leave snare on #3, it really wouldn't sound right.
To be fair, doing so would require a bunch of cache invalidations and they've always barely had enough money to limp on to the next investor. It would also likely be abused.

Its quite possible many features simply would raise their costs by .X% and therefore were impossible for that reason.

These are user votes, to be honest, they're currently 95% mine :) since I just launched the project. But the goal of course is to raise an audience enough, so the votes are at least 10+/- instead of just a few per post.
Isn't reddit already successful? Why are they raising money? Shouldn't they be generating profits and returning those profits back to their shareholder(s)?
sorry about that, yeah i meant to add fetch polyfill but forgot to.

But rest assured, the library itself is 100% es5.

btw could you share the link that's not working on IE11? I will fix it right away. Would appreciate it!
Never as long as anybody can freely compete. Once you can't compete, no matter how big or small, a monopoly is born.
Yeah I'm pretty sure mods can...
Death Pools Can Bring Financial Security for the Long Lived
Might make sense to make it optional per subreddit. Some communities are far less filled with trolls than others. Locked after N hours or minutes is also a potential solution elaboration that could give subreddits flexibility (on/off, if on then lock after N time options). Default it to locked. One more layer would be to enable only for established accounts and or based on the account behavior historically, and so on.
They run sponsored posts on the HTML version of reddit, not sure about their mobile app tho. I've actually paid to run some ads on reddit and would recommend them. Their ads are cheap and they'll definitely send traffic your way if that's what you're looking for.

Volcanoes, yes. There is no molten core.

Asteroids, no, but it is likely more immune to long term dust clouds in the atmosphere as a result (since the atmosphere is so thin). On the other hand dust storms are similar.
The ones at the top are increasingly just those who happen to already be on top. Keeping up has nothing to do with it, unless by keeping up you mean being wealthy.

Their repository is pretty neat! It includes three state-of-the-art architectures in object detection: Faster-RCNN, RFCN, and SSD. It is missing YOLO [1][2], though, which shares some similarities with SSD. Another detector is the recently released Mask-RCNN [3], which of course wouldn't be possible to be included in this publication as we can't travel through time yet.

Damn you.
Until the last line I consistently read Paris. Which was the point of course but I wish I'd have paid more attention after misreading the title :D
Isn't the modern approach to that problem simply limiting new features to a subset of users then analyzing the result and deciding whether or not to release it to the full user base? As a heavy user of Reddit there is an argument to be made that it is (mostly) feature complete to the average user, and they have certainly made significant strides in scalability (though not without a decade of hiccups).

I'd really like to hear from a reddit volunteer moderator, a group who essentially keeps the site running for free and who have voiced their concerns over lack of tooling for... again a decade.

Finally we're only a year or two out from major PR issues at the company. I would not be surprised if it alienated engineering talent (that and presumably a smaller budget for compensation due to the revenue, profitability, time since last raise, etc.).
> Does anybody know why development at reddit is so slow?

I read through the front page of each of the top 5,000 subreddits (by subscribers) over the last few weeks, and a lot of the subreddits are adding hundreds or thousands of new subscribers per week. They seem to have gone into hypergrowth recently without anyone really noticing.

The other interesting thing of note is that of the 125,000ish posts I read through, there are only a few dozen submissions from independent blogs on the front page of all of these subreddits put together at any given time.
I don't get the need for all these tech companies to prove their "wit" by trying to out do each other on 4/1. Then the tech blogs all rush to cover the various 4/1 "jokes"
why are you excited about union-free stuff
Very neat UI. How you calculate the "impact on price" is still not clear to me.

I wanted to build something like this, will keep coming back to check on updates.

Edit: just read your response on the other question. Do you imagine this process of figuring out the impact on price to be semi-manual or calculated in some way rather than being subjected to public opinion?

Can you please provide sources? I verified a many of the DKIM headers myself and they were all fine. This was actually one of the strongest pieces of evidence in favor of the legitimacy of the emails. Also, I'm not sure why you say "it's well known"; it's not known to me, and I'm fairly interested in this area.
