> I don't think the comparison to TripAdvisor and travel agents is particularly strong, and I think you'd be hard pushed to make the case that thousands of travel agents who'd maybe heard something about the place you wanted to go is better than thousands of reviews and photos from people who've actually been there. TipAdvisor has lots of problems, to be sure, but it's still better than travel agents.

Do you remember what it was like using a travel agent? That's not what travel agents did. They didn't "maybe hear about a place", they actually went there. Resorts & cruises spent a ton of their marketing dollars to bring travel agents to the resort and get them to experience it first hand.
Thanks for posting this. This is pretty much the setup I just replaced Caddy with and it's working well so far.

It's really weird that you've been on the site for 10 years and only just now decided to bust forth with a handful of comments of this low quality.
Weird, it was the first thing I installed after installing 3.0 as a new install. Wonder if it's an update issue in particular.
Yes, I do recommend them, and yes, they provide you the sampling kit. In my interactions with them they went beyond what I expected of them every time.
gcc will output fancy Unicode quotes if you set locale. This of course even more fun if LANG is set incorrectly and you still have an 8 bit xterm; then the entire quoted string just disappears!

>As an advertiser, I understand why these changes are necessary for them to be successful in the existing Google/FB duopoly.

Well then maybe you can help me understand. I see this going exactly as you describe, but I don't understand what's wrong about the old advertising model... just charge more. Direct advertising on reddit seems like it should be very lucrative. Couldn't they also sell trackers

You wrote

> This has led users to feel that they are the reason Reddit exists and the content creators and sub owners vs. the reality, which is that they are the product.

The content creators aren't wrong, are they? Granted, to Reddit eveyone who views the page is the product that they sell to advertisers for money, but the content creators are the ones drawing in the page views, not reddit.com (or tumblr.com, etc), and they are selling that content to drive page views. Sure the dollar is king, but without content to generate pageviews reddit is nothing. I feel like this is indicative of a destructive and characteristically narcissistic attitude that pervades the Valley, namely that people who participate in the online information exchange--not as idle lurkers but as active participants--are essentially a resource to be extracted. This won't work long term, the effects are already pretty obvious on Reddit, a lot of the best content creators have already abandoned most of the site and if they continue down the road you outline it won just be the best memesters and the people who have interesting and nuanced personal philosophy (both of which have mostly vacated reddit in the last 1-3 years), but also anyone who has an interesting story to tell, which a huge draw for a lot of people. If Reddit continues to go down the road of "boiling the frog" it will just be Buzzfeed in a few years, and it's such a waste--I doubt that Reddit has a product (the product here being a BBS-like service) that can generate a user profile with comparable value to that of google and facebook, the data is not rich enough. That said, I'm curious as to why their aren't more trackers on reddit, it seems like google amazon and facebook would be keen to add their users' reddit browsing habits to their profile.
I've no idea, to be honest, but as I was reading the article I was thinking that this could potentially be a nice way to provide for herself financially: writing articles for the media, making appearances/speeches at events/conferences, etc.

With a criminal record and fresh out of prison, she's not going to have many (decent) opportunities available to her so perhaps this is one way to make the most of her situation and/or experiences. I'm sure there are plenty of organizations that would pay for this.
Maybe there is no big enough market for what Caddy is offering right now. Have you considered pursuing other directions, make it really diverge from nginx, apache features and stand out? Maybe more into an out of the box security solution with integrated scraping protection, ddos protection, vulnerability scanning protection, exploit protection, overload protection, xss/csrf protection, WAF features, full-page caching. Or even into an edge infrastructural solution for hosting companies and such, with dns management and everything.
The ideological basis and the geopolitical basis are two entirely different things.

Geopolitics and ideology have to be considered hand in hand when making decisions at the scale that Roosevelt and Eisenhower did. Before Pearl Harbor, even though the general US populace knew what the Nazis were doing to some extent, even Lend-Lease was hugely controversial. It took a surprise attack on US soil to galvanize people into action. To me, I think survival of the US is a much easier sell as being the prime ideology. Everything else such as protection of rights and freedom were good partial truths. Otherwise things like the internment of the Japanese, rationing, censorship, propaganda, and so on become harder to explain.

Again, none of these encroachments take away from the rightness. I just think it's important to acknowledge that the ugly and the good and everything else can stand together all at once.

I think it's also worth mentioning that when I'm thinking of WW2, I'm also thinking of WW2 as a whole. Not just from a purely US centric perspective.

I used sid on my laptop for several years with similar results. These days I use testing. Testing is usually only behind sid by a few weeks, but I've found that the more annoying breakages tend to get resolved in sid before anyone in testing sees them, so the already infrequent headaches are basically non-existent now.
Didn't look too deep, but this might be due to the fact that call sites are memoized for invoke calls as part of the invokedynamic improvements (but really MethodHandle::invoke and MethodHandle::invokeExact are where the magic is as is mentioned by the JVM spec IIRC).

Regardless, MethodHandle invocations are always going to be faster than reflection Method invocations. A primary reason is that the parameters for invoke and invokeExact are not subject to the same boxing and runtime-validation requirements as reflection.
I don't have any experience in the field, but reading the paper, it seems impossibly weak and almost useless. This should only work for a very limited type of game, in which case it will never help anyone speed up game construction more than a simple sprite engine. It seems more an exercise in using openCV.

What am I missing here, because I'm positive that I am missing something?
Stopping as 'higher social status and salaries' can miss the driving factors of why men might want those. Society currently judges a ma's relationship worth on those scales far more than a woman's relationship worth. Men who earn less or have lower social status are seen as less dateable, and even married men will face negative social pressures if they earn less than their wife (to say nothing of social pressure the wife may face).

Another issue is false accusations. I know personal anecdotes aren't a replacement for peer-reviewed data, but I tutor kids and have had my own mother ask me to stop because she is scared my life will eventually be ruined by a false accusation.
I guess we're all in agreement that it's a toy.
After this I would bet they have it before very long.

The Most Innovative Checkout Form Ever (2016)
> I strongly agree with the author.

I will second this. I wanted to make a live streaming playback feature using the API so I could remotely monitor an audio matrix/routing system that I have in the office.

The API has _zero_ provision for streaming MP3. You either load and playback a complete MP3 file or you get corrupted playback because the API simply won't maintain state between decoding calls.

What I ended up having to do was write a port of libMAD to JavaScript and then use that to produce a PCM stream, which I _could_ then convert into an AudioBuffer, attach a timer, and then send into the audio API for correct playback.

Which is an insane amount of work for a gaping oversight in a common use-case of the API, a simple flag in the browsers native decoder would've sufficed.
That is the mechanism by which race-biased views of different drugs and crimes and other social problems operate.

SnapTest: taking the pain out of Selenium
This is reminiscent of the Tribes 2 development, when the developers revealed they lost the original Tribes source code, and thus the physics calculations.

Beta testers constantly complained that falling didn't feel right, jetting and skiing (the game's main movement) was slow and soupy. Players were leaking videos and photos showing the differences in motion.

At one point, Dynamix hired a top player to playtest, as he "remembered the best" how it felt. All to reclaim the physics calculations of some game from the Leisure Suit Larry company.
I ran Fedora on my home server for years -- and found the upgrade process between FC's really difficult over time. Stuff I'd configured and had working would break. FC upgrades would take days of fiddling to get stable again. Not upgrading left me open to security vulnerabilities.

Some examples are major changes to config files by certain apps - like rsyslog or squid. I also went through the transition from init.d to some other one I can't recall and then to systemd.

But I also had a pretty heavily configured/customized system...

In the end, I decided it was too bleeding edge for continuous upgrades in my specific environment.

I switched to CentOS7 and I keep my configuration in ansible scripts. I also use EPEL and ELRepo for the mainline kernel.

But if you're just running a laptop desktop ... and you're willing to reinstall at major revs, or you just don't customize it that much, yeah, give it a try!
Even when the software I use is available for Mac I would be the odd one out running it on a Mac. Looks like Autodesk has support, but Cadence supports everything but Mac. To me it looks like most of the professional software available is for some kind of artist or another. When I tried a Mac it was only useful as a terminal/browser.
> Is there any evidence that Manning was able to express herself at such a high level before becoming a public figure?

Maybe not before becoming a public figure, but she's done a lot of public writing since, including the last couple of years as an official contributing writer for Guardian US, having written a couple op-eds for them before that.

Prison does often give one time for studying, reading, and writing if one chooses to use it for that purpose.
> I don't know much about the subject but when I try to do a bunch of cursory searches, most of what I find are histories on alcoholism and the variety of treatment methods.

And alcohol is a very strange drug. It doesn't quite work like others. For example, if you block the high, most people quit wanting opioids. That doesn't seem to be true of alcohol. In addition, drying you out from alcohol seems to actually damage the impulse control centers in your brain, so avoiding relapse is much more important. etc.

> It's also worth noting how small the problem with cocaine and other opiates was in the past. The crack cocaine epidemic was probably the first time the nation as a whole had to learn what this stuff actually was.

I think the real issue is that modern production methods at that point started making far more potent drugs.

Idk, with all the energy and secrecy they put into these events, why would they spoil it? I think they know the magic of the event is not knowing that "one more thing."

I haven't used Fedora in years -- how does Fedora make it easier for people who don't know RHEL well, vs. CentOS? (I had expected the sysadmin experience to be very similar.)
I wouldn't have put it that way, but the claim Apple is making (in baby talk) is that these are good authenticators, not that they are good secrets. I don't think the average person in their audience has a strong reason to understand the difference. If people were used to biometrics and you tried to get them using passwords, then it would be critical to explain the difference (if you tell the wrong person your password, it loses all its security!)

The mistakes you can make by misunderstanding biometrics seem like more of a problem for system designers, who hopefully don't get their whole understanding of security from Apple keynotes.

we made an editor that tries to solve document versioning issues

Document versioning is orthogonal to text editors and text editors are a mostly solved problem for most people anyway. Solving people's document versioning issues means meeting them where they are and providing additional capabilities not sending them back to ground zero. To put it another way, if a customer adopts your solution and your company goes out of business, the customer should be no worse off than if they had not adopted your solution.

The minimum viable product is not a text editor because text editors are complicated -- never mind Vim or Word or Emacs, the current state of even Notepad and Nano reflect many years of development.

The great news is that you have people who will talk to you. Ask them what their current versioning problems are. Become an expert in actual document versioning problems before deciding on a solution. Solve one organization's document versioning problems first. Go deep before going broad.

Good luck.
This only helps until they start injecting data in different places. Maybe soon they'll add HTML comments or JavaScript to popup a notification. Now that they've shown they don't care about users' data security I don't know why anybody would expect them to stop here.
> Always amazed at the sympathy people have for criminals who needlessly endangered dozens of lives.

People who receive downvotes can sometimes believe that anyone who is downvoting is doing so because they must support the opposite of what the poster believes. This, in my experience on HN, isn't necessarily (or even often) the case.

Yes, there may be those who sympathize with Manning. However, there are plenty of other reasons one might find a comment worthy of a downvote: Is it substantive? Civil? Productive? Factually correct? On-topic? Charitable? Thoughtful? More likely to promote good, quality discussion rather than adversarial arguments? You may feel strongly about your position and feel that the subject of your comment is not worthy of charitable discourse (and it may very well not be), but the HN community is worthy of charitable discourse, or at least that's goal. Please help make it so, which includes following the guidelines.
> The proof is like a game. It says: give me any procedure for (putatively) making a list of all of the real numbers, and I will give you back a number that is not in the list.

The game isn't fair though; we have to write down our complete solution (e.g. in the form of a never-halting, co-recursive computer program), then Cantor can take as much time as he likes (any finite number of steps) to analyse the source code and find a Real it'll never output.

Yet we can turn the tables to play a different game: whatever counter-example-finder Cantor chooses, if we make him write it down (as a computer program), we can always (eventually) find a program which will trick it: outputting only a countable number of Reals, but always a superset of those checked for by Cantor's program.

Of course, if we're representing the players of the game using computer programs, then we can go one step further and show that only the Computable numbers (a subset of the Reals) can ever be generated, and the computables are countable! (We can count them by pairing off all programs with all runtimes)
And as the story goes, after reading an obituary that argued exactly that ("reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" kind of situation), Nobel drafted a peculiar testament about how his fortune should be used after his death. [1]

>The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way: the capital, invested in safe securities by my executors, shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.

(You will also notice that the Economics prize is a later addition, having nothing to do with Nobel's will. I've always wondered why the Swedes picked economics as the only field worthy of being added as a prize category despite not being mentioned in the original testament.)

"Well managed" meaning artificially restricting the supply to create scarcity and inflate prices?

As for disintermediation, there's still plenty of room for travel agents and the like to add value. Sure travelocity, tripadvisor etc exist, but for higher end clients who don't want/can't afford to waste time sifting through pages and pages of data/reviews from anonymous internet people, they can hire someone with experience to do all that, or perhaps someone who has built a reputation of recommending excellent itineraries all around the world. Otherwise, it's nice to have the option to do it yourself much more cheaply and efficiently. That money saved by not hiring an agent can now be put into the vacation package for better airfare, lodging, restaurants, etc.

The money and jobs don't just disappear, they go elsewhere.
