Top tier sites like reddit should not drop large, disruptive, releases like this.

Take Amazon for example. If they went from the design 5-7 years ago straight to the current design, there would be uproar, Stock price dip etc.

The incremental approach allows the site owner to both roll back bad ideas but also condition users into where the design is heading.

(Correction: not Conde Nast) The owner, has a plan, which is clearly not inline with the current Reddit usage, this is not the approach to get to that goal.

I am struggling to think of big drops like this working, anyone?

I think that the title of the paper should state that it is for lossy image compression, which clearly states how it works and what task it performs.

I would be surprised if there wasn't a way to provide a learned, lossless method of compression, but that would be a very different paper and result.
Tutorial: scraping with pyppeteer/how to remotely control a browser from python
I once read an article on some of these practices. From memory, one company claimed the opportunity cost of investing in the stock market and gaining an assumed 12% per annum as part of their 'research cost'.

Edit: I think the article referenced Joe DiMasi's work [0], which uses a Capital Asset Pricing Model for cost of capital. Essentially, it says there's only one source of risk in the world, and you get paid 11% per annum for taking that risk. I'm pretty sure this work really informed public policy. Shitty economics strikes again.

Yes, you'd expect it to be gone after the first time you dismiss it, but you will probably still want to know that you can remove it :)
It absolutely does matter. This is not municipal bus fleet, capabilities have to match the threats.

“MLA Haryanvi” – Meeta Baroda – Sheela Haryanvi |New Haryanvi Song 2018 – NDJ
I think the author completely misunderstood the Boz quote. I interpret it as him questioning the core belief that connecting people no matter the consequences is right.
Ok, imagine if you are a passenger in a car, sitting next to the driver. You are heading towards a turn, with a solid barrier in your path if you don't turn. Your driver is awake, holding the wheel firmly with eyes wide open. Do you think there's any chance you could intervene between realizing that the driver is not turning and the car hitting the barrier? You could be paying 200% attention to the road, but there's just not enough time - by the time you even realize that the driver is not turning the wheel to impact there is like 1 second of time, maybe two - could you grab the wheel and pull it to one side in that time? And even if you could, can you guarantee that you won't pull it too much and into the path of fully loaded 18-wheeler which will promptly flatten your car?

It's just not good enough. Semi-autonomous cars can't be hitting stationary objects without reacting at all. If they fail at this basic task, then they shouldn't be allowed on the road.
Frustrating to discuss this on reddit as well. They always think we should watch and eait but that rarely works. Especially if they already added huge banners advertising their data collecting app and now autoplaying videos, before people complained they also autoplayed them with sound..

Is there something like a wordpress front end for authoring and managing content that then generates all the static content for you to deploy?

In the olden days, blogger.com used to have this feature so you could self host. They ditched this in I think 2009 so google could get deeper data on all those blogs users.

I think is that the question is really close to how we design a modern Processor. Certainly is important to look at the data (i.e. how behaves a real machine under actual workloads). That data might suggest design improvements (through some form of experience, art and intuition). You use simulation the test those "potentially" good ideas. Most of them are discarded...

Perhaps neuroscience should move in the same direction: how I think cortex work? Test in under (simple) working conditions. See if it makes sense. Move to more complex working conditions. Rinse an repeat.

In actual processors math is rather useless too... beyond some niches. Even in susceptible issues such as formal verification of coherence protocol design, mathematical tools are rather limited (due to state explosion).
Perhaps it's not a priority for Switzerland. It is a priority for Norway, which has land, sea and air border with Russia.

Easy, is is called std::variant, available since C++17.
What is easy to understand, but hard to illustrate is cyclic patterns of impulse - response.

Without the impulse, no response. However, it is the response that drives the nature of the dynamics.

I've recently paid attention to this phenomenon, and believe the concept can be adapted also to human phenomena.

As heads-of-state Trump and Putin have misunderstood each other's communications for some time, it is only natural that they are distrustful.

Each one expects the words of the other to lead to a response they can understand.

I decided that I am certain enough to model a solution to the armed conflict in Syria on my blog. The analysis is based on my understanding of graph theory and studies of the nation state stakeholders in the conflict.

> Lock free concurrency is typically via spinning and retrying, suboptimal when you have real contention.

Lock free concurrency is typically done by distributing the contention between multiple memory locations / actors, being wait free for the happy path at least. The simple compare-and-set schemes have limited utility.

Also actual lock implementations at the very least start by spinning and retrying, falling back to a scheme where the threads get put to sleep after a number of failed retries. More advanced schemes that do "optimistic locking" are available, for the cases in which you have no contention, but those have decreased performance in contention scenarios.

> Handing off means to stop using it and letting someone else use it. Only copy in rare cases.

You can't just let "someone else use it", because blocks of memory are usually managed by a single process. Transferring control of a block of memory to another process is a recipe for disaster.

Of course there are copy on write schemes, but note that they are managed by the kernel and they don't work in the presence of garbage collectors or more complicated memory pools, in essence the problem being that if you're not in charge of a memory location for its entire lifetime, then you can't optimize the access to it.

In other words, if you want to share data between processes, you have to stream it. And if those processes have to cooperate, then data has to be streamed via pipes.

> High performance applications get the kernel out of the way because it slows things down.

Not because the kernel itself is slow, but because system calls are. System calls are expensive because they lead to context switches, thrashing caches and introducing latency due to blocking on I/O. So the performance of the kernel has nothing to do with it.

You know what else introduces unnecessary context switches? Having multiple processes running in parallel, because in the context of a single process making use of multiple threads you can introduce scheduling schemes (aka cooperative multi-threading) that are optimal for your process.
I'd like to know all about it from any perspective. I've come to learn the reasons people do things are varied and worthy of respect. It may seem outwardly that one is exhibiting a certain behavior for one reason whereas the truth may underlie a completely different motivation. The question relates to coders who prefer a suit and tie for any reason and we're hoping to understand what those reasons are.

The cultural and societal implications are important and extend from the personal and individual motivations.

Here is a video that came up on Digg which underscores this idea. http://digg.com/video/mind-body-problem

To be fair, they are only "dropping" it on a small subset of users for the time being.
In that case it's closer to 50 bytes I think. (Average wrong line length is 105k, as first line is 210k and last line is 0k, so number of lines is 450M / 105k (about 4300), so lines would be 210 / 4.3 = about 50 bytes.)
The halo effect is definitely one aspect, also the Diderot effect or California effect. There are many other nuances I care very much to understand, one of them being a possible memory palace effect.
Although most generics are for drugs no longer under patent protection this is not always the case. A more accurate definition of a generic is the one from Wikipedia, "A generic drug is a pharmaceutical drug that is equivalent to a brand-name product in dosage, strength, route of administration, quality, performance and intended use, but does not carry the brand name. The generic drug may differ from the original in non-essential characteristics such as color, taste and packaging."
Any good tl;dr on what happened between Ellen Pao and reddit? I didn't follow the story when it was playing out.
Representing DPI in the real world actually requires at least two if not more floating point numbers.

The print/prepress industry has a long history of devices with asymmetric resolution, or higher resolution in monochrome versus color (similar to 4:2:0 pixel format used in digital video).

Considering professional print/prepress machines last 20 or more years in-service you have to handle just about everything.
I worked with a hepatologist once who donated his services to low-income patients with hep c. Encouraged by his selfless act, I called him to learn more about how our services could help him (he was asking for a discount).

Well, it turns out that while his services were donated, he also owned a pharmacy and stood to make a lot more by using the donated time as what we might call a “customer acquisition cost”.

I would be surprised if he continues treating patients if the payout for treatment really goes down 30 fold. For what it’s worth, that’s a pretty typical physician I’ve worked with and I’ve worked with hundreds.

I don’t know why I expect more from physicians, but I do and they usually let me down.

E-waste is just one of the problems, probably the only one most users could understand; but security is also a huge one. With apps requiring permission to essentially everything (and users surrendering them blindly) security on any mobile device as of today is a myth. Open Source apps could mitigate the problem by swapping an unreliable layer with a trustworthy one, but we still have closed device drivers which could contain whatever their manufacturer (or its government) wants without any chance of being audited.

This tool (yours?) looks promising and I’ll try it.

I’m skeptical though as I lived through the 90s 4gl database software for PCs like Clarion, FoxPro, Access and others that promised the sane thing but required lots of coding for the final 10% needed to go live.
It's okay. You, like me, are starting to realize that our way of computing is becoming obsolete. How many kids are using keyboard and mouse vs touch screens? They grow up thinking "this is how you use a computer". To them the mouse/keyboard ruins the whole touch(mobile) experience.

One day we'll be the old men yelling at internet clouds while sitting behind an old PC or some kind of open source terminal running an open source OS and weeping for the past.

I thought you were implying that the only way to get music files (after disregarding CDs as you don't have a drive) these days was to download them from unofficial sources. Not streaming music files was the standard for a long time so I was a bit surprised about the question.

No matter how you shake this, we're looking at 60+% additional unemployment for every city. Some fare much worse. And I remember from my history studies that the Great Depression was officially around 33% unemployment.

I've listened to the national talking heads and political figures, and nobody publicly is talking about this. Not the Republicans, and not the Democrats. However, the Dems seem to have a better idea by bolstering all sorts of subsidy and welfare programs. Those work well and good for keep individuals out of poverty, but falls short when working with communities of impoverished. These end up counting on, and using tax revenues from well-to-do areas. And these unemployment numbers show that there won't be 'well-to-do' areas.

The WPA was one such way out of mass unemployment. But given how effective automation is, I question its use this time around, if the current political atmosphere would even have the stomach to discuss such things.

This is one result from capitalism. Accelerate until we hit the wall. And this wall, is that we will no longer need "labor" provided by humans. So, what do we do with the 95% of people that must work? That's the $64,000 question.

My personal plan: I'm learning electronics from the ground up. I'm teaching myself control systems theory. I'm learning how things are put together - electronics are very similar to code libraries. You do a function block to do something, and you chain them together. This means that I'm untraining specialities, and learning how to analyse and fix quickly. I guess being a sysad also helps in that. I'm not putting much trust in the national or state level government. I see more done at the local levels, but without tax revenue/money, they're up shit's creek as well.
You should look at some codebases I occasionally find on enterprise projects.
protip: append ".compact" to the URL (before the "?" query string, if any). All reddit links will also now automatically have .compact. Bookmark it.

Starter pack: https://www.reddit.com/.compact https://www.reddit.com/r/all.compact
https://www.reddit.com/message/inbox/.compact

This gives the old reddit mobile experience, which is far lighter and better. But some things are broken, e.g. "submit" is broken; "parent" take you to the modern mobile version (but "conext" works); "sidebar" needs a separate page.

To any reddit admins reading: please don't take this functionality away.

Why not drones instead of the F-35? They started the F-35 project in '92. And if we're gonna play "why not" with the F-35, why not 3 frames for 3 roles as all the aviation experts and real world economics suggest?

Drones of this capacity are coming in on the sides, are inevitable if the shit ever hits the fan, and provide tons of advantages. In addition to crazy manoeuvres and no issue being a kamakazi missile you've got machine learning enhancements and teams of remote pilots able to step in fresh to help. They also integrate well with existing forces.

In essence, though, some of the kinds of roles for the F-35 are roles we still want human eyeballs for the forseeable future. The drone model is untested as the default solution, so we "need" the aircraft anyways, and the end-product will be some proper SkyNet stuff people are likely to have problems with.

The tech is evolving, but the weapons program answer is that we need both solutions and the F-35 program is unkillable.
The word confidence is overloaded and means many things to each person. It's worthy of a discussion in its own right.
Another thing that the author (wisely) didn't mention is that most women choose to have children between the ages of 25-35, an age range that defines whether you're going to become just a good employee or an agressive career hunter.

There are just as many women as men in all social classes and income groups, so I think we can rule that one out.

Actually I wouldn't mind, I miss the spirit of these boards. phpbb was hell, but it seems a lot of php things are now based on clean modules (even though a quick googling sheds doubts on the status of phpbb over symfony modules)

A web browser is an inferior tool for the job of accessing reddit API in a mobile context.

Reddit has always been app-first on mobile, web-first on desktop. This has been true since the very first reddit mobile app.

If you're okay using your very inferior solution, then please do not come in here to complain about your willfully chosen inferior experience, because the people here will only seek to help you by educating you on the basic ways to use the reddit service...
I thought it was digg v4 that was Digg's undoing. Which was taken over by...Reddit. I guess its time for some other community site to take over. Maybe those Amino apps.

> In all air combat training scenarios, F-35s blow F-16s out of the skies.

F-16s, sure, and we keep hearing about this, but I wonder how they fare against more modern fighters though, such as Rafale, Eurofighter, or whatever.

Rafale had the reputation to be an overpriced, goal-missing† multirole beast, but apparently the U.S.A would not let France take that crown for too long, and boy does it seem they beat the crap out of us on that front now.

† especially when it wasn't able to land on the Charles de Gaulle carrier in early years of development.
Truth is as coders we understand we can do whatever the fuck we please, so wearing a suit or a gorilla costume are equally acceptable if they help get the job done.

If I have a face and a city how much effort and time it takes to visit all places with cameras, search all the tapes and find that face?

With a website like facebook that can track a browser on most webpages , having to find a person internet history would be just a SQL query away and the results would be back in a few milliseconds, so IMO FB and Google tracking are very different then what you described.

Also because of convenience people ignored this until the US election issue, that pushed a real problem in the spotlight and regular people now get amazed but what Fb can do.
I read 1%, which is a whole lot. But the previous poster's (very valid, I find) point is not to roll out a vast redesign slowly to all users, but rather small changes (possibly with testing on small groups beforehand).

Ask HN: Non-hackers need advice for hiring webmaster
We are a small nonprofit/government organization in a rural area that needs advice on how to evaluate webmaster candidates, when we lack staff expertise in the area ourselves.

The candidate we are looking for would have to know their way around an Apache web server (including occasional "site is down" troubleshooting), and be able to troubleshoot and do minor additional development on our existing sites, mostly using WordPress/Roots.

Do HN readers have advice about specific pre-interview testing sites, recruiting agencies, etc. that would likely work for us and be at an appropriate level for our size and budget? The Linux System Administrator [0] and PHP Web Developer [1] assessments at interviewmocha.com look promising to me, but as I am not a developer I'm worried I may be a poor evaluator of these tools.
