I'm sure theres some way to do it "right", but I felt like building a js clientside app inherently put me behind where static sites where starting.

For a long standing production app, my suggestion is to start with a plan for a better layout/architecture in your fancy new framework, but start by emulating the old UI. The new framework is often flexible and powerful enough to do this. If it isn't, then I might question its validity.
By that measure, is not intelligence based on luck too?
Like I said - it’s not all of them, but a lot of them. And yes, this is endemic in big companies, not in startups.
Just wanted to add my thanks here too. Started using Ghost (self hosted) for the developer blog for our SaaS about 3 years ago, and never looked back. Extremely easy to maintain and manage, and uses minimal server resources. Thanks for bringing Ghost into the world!
Side note: what a horrible standard of news quality here. This should be about 3 sentences, not hundreds of words and a TV interview. This is why most local news is ridiculous.

Steve Huffman was asked about the reason for the redesign and he said that it was necessary since users who visit reddit for the first time are completely lost and one of the reasons for this was the design. They hope the new design will make reddit more approachable for new users.

I think it comes to down to the growth at all costs mindset of being a VC funded company. Besides the point mentioned above, I think the new design allows them to increase their engagement numbers :

- they heavily push users to install the mobile apps to the point that it's annoying

- the new design lends itself better to native ads

- they started autoplaying videos and gifs on mobile for some users

- when I browse from a desktop without logging in, I noticed that threads now have a "related content" suggestions after the first few comments (I don't remember seeing this previously. Correct me if I'm wrong on this)

- they introduced new profile pages which make the site into more of a social network. Users can now follow other users, post to their own timeline etc.

- they started collecting more user data (for ad targeting) and have reset users' tracking preferences at least twice so far. Related links [0] [1]

Hopefully they start taking user feedback more seriously.

They are, to use the wonderful Brit phrase, too clever by half...not good in the meta-game. And the meta-game has turned against the coyotes with a vengeance.

Here's the thing about the meta-game: It's very contextual. Coyotes can't play the meta-meta-game of thinking about your context and possibly changing it. Some human beings can.
I used to go to a gifted education class once a week when I was around 13 years old.

Probably half the class or more had some form of condition, Autism, ADHD, depression, etc.

Looking back at it now, I don't think it was the case that gifted people are generally "mad". I'm a fairly normal person, and so were a lot of other people in the class. I think that rather, it was that these kids didn't integrate well into conventional education, but this gifted education class was very understanding and accepting of people's "quirks", and had a much more open learning environment where people could grow in their own way. I ended up there because I struggled with the structured nature of normal school.

I've met plenty of people over the years who could be considered gifted (in this case, top 5% IQ), most of them are completely normal and probably just dealt with the overly structured nature of normal school.
As I have gotten older, I have made more money and gotten wealthier. My skills have increased, my knowledge has increased, and I am more valuable.

Did the authors look at wealth as something that is static and to be distributed? Or did they look at it as something that can be created (or destroyed)?

I reckon they have never actually ran a business or created any wealth themselves - but that is just a guess.

The fact of the matter is these referral links are sent to you by the user agent. As the name implies, that program is entirely under the control of the user. Just because the browser makes HTTP requests automatically when loading pages doesn't mean someone can't craft a custom HTTP request with completely made up metadata and send it to your servers.

It's not really any different from random people sending you random links over a messaging service. Would you click on any "interesting" links sent to you by people you don't know, much less trust? It's the same thing. Offensive websites might have shock value but they're actually quite harmless after you close the tab. What if it's a malware site that exploits some 0day in your browser?

The article is a slightly edited transcript of what aired in the TV package and appeared in the teleprompter, which is the only strategy most local newsrooms can afford to do. Write once, publish twice. It’s not print journalism, it’s copy intended to hook television viewing interest, and that style does work.

If local news quality bothers you, be more bothered that the person who did the translation almost certainly pulls minimum wage, while the slightly more notable person reading the same thing negotiated a significant contract. I used to write these for $9.50/hour in 2005, for a producer pulling about $13, while the anchor reading them and doing approximately nothing else was arguing over $5 million in their renewal. And the gutting of local hadn’t even started yet. Now most shops can’t even afford photographers and have their reporters shoot their own stories, probably close to minimum wage themselves if they’re fresh from J school.

You think you’re going to get Peter Baker quality reporting in that scenario? You think that newsroom is empowered to develop source relationships and produce reporting that effects social change? They’re covering a shipping overcharge in an investigative feature, for crying out loud. The stylistic technique is far from why local news is ridiculous, and that’s a very shallow assessment.

There’s a clear path to fixing local news but the market won’t permit it, on account of it being a market, not to mention the whole battalion of news directors terrified of change and wondering why their 1994 Eyewitness News rundowns don’t work any more, all the while sweating about how much more the only marketable face is going to ask for when the next book comes out. A lot of it is self-inflicted, but a lot isn’t. But don’t worry, it’ll die. The aforementioned anchor reminded me of this when I was reconsidering the industry again. He now does real estate and begged me not to go back.
Assuming US law: If you work for a company "professional" enough to start a performance improvement plan instead of just firing you, then they are likely to move slowly and carefully in anything that they know involves a disability. This includes mental and psychiatric disabilities. (I'm using the word "disability" here because that's the word the law uses.) That employment law is very complicated, and a wrong move could create big liability for them.

I'd strongly suggest that you disclose to them that you are seeking treatment regarding a mental health issue, and maybe say it's major depression and/or ADD. I probably wouldn't disclose more without talking to a lawyer (or at least, a forum with more people trained in employment law than here). I would state that I believed I could do the job--you say your work has been commended--but may require some accommodation. You can search the phrase "reasonable accommodation", and see examples of how other people have resolved similar situations.

If you do this, then you'll probably buy yourself at least a couple months. As other commenters note, you may be eligible for paid leave. Even better, you may be able to negotiate a modified job description that works both for you and for your employer long-term. You may also be able to use this time to switch to a different role, inside or outside your present employer.

There's some risk in disclosing that you're dealing with a mental health issue, since there's a stigma associated with it. The company is supposed to keep your information private, but sometimes they don't. There's probably worse stigma associated with just being generically unreliable, though. So I think it's in your interest to disclose.

Please don't feel reluctant to use all the tools that employment law creates to help you in this circumstance. (Of course, also remember that the company is complying because they have to, not necessarily because they're as warm and fuzzy as the HR brochures might suggest.) I hope you find yourself in a better situation very soon, and I think that you will.

The goal of these organisations is to end US coal exports, and that they will abuse the court system with any vexatious lawsuit they can dream up. They had the opportunity to present evidence to support their claim that shipping coal through the city posed any health risk to the community, and they failed to produce any evidence to that effect.

I love YouTube Red but basically never use any of the Music features.

I’d rather have ads on Music and nothing else. Seems like a strange anti embrace of the creator community.

I can only assume they would rather make money off of ads (because they make more money than YouTube red?) and this needed a way to sell the popular YouTube Music (including the background play feature) and have a way to get more people watching ads that were casual users that mostly only cared about music (instead of having ad free YouTube thrown in).

Can’t see another reason to have structured it this way. YouTube Music is obviously an important business requirement to otherwise keep all the labels uploading their music videos onto the otherwise free site.
And any attempt to turn it into a business will probably only set the bar higher for doing it in earnest.

didn't get why gelatin over collagen. It is kind of obvious and explicitly mentioned that gelatin/hydrogel is very weak as a construction material (there is a reason why nature uses collagen which is polymerized gelatin (or gelatin being the broken down collagen)), and the small thin 2D patch scaffold made out of it is already an achievement that this article is dedicated too, and it is hardly scaleable beyond that, at least not into 3D structures, i.e. dead end for the most of organ engineering, while there is no such issues with collagen.
Did a quick skim through what Amazon Look Inside provides. It definitely looks worth checking out (all copies are in use at the SF pub lib).

I think I've seen Mr Rosling's presentation on birthrates before, IIRC something to the effect of: Our "first world" assumption that might drive policy decisions is that "all the poor people" are having seemingly unlimited babies, when actually e.g. Bangladesh is at or almost below replacement. Global population will peak at ~10 billion in 2050 and then decline. Africa is still a variable. (These are from foggy memory, but match what I skimmed).
It's compelling and hopeful work!

The projects I have in mind are monitoring & evaluation ones that some of our customers have done. (This gets a little deeper into methods, but still extends the conversation)
E.g. as follow-up on World Food Program food distribution projects: A standard food security questionnaire asks something like, "when you're out of food, do you starve, borrow, or steal?" On paper that's all you get, those 3 dimensions.
A different approach had an evaluator show video clips of local people talking (scripted) about doing those things. Beneficiaries are asked to pick which video best matches what they do. Then the evaluator interviews them about why they made their choice. It opens up dialog. The best example was the man who said, "Oh, I'm fine about food. But the video I picked showed that all tress are cut down in the background. We like your food, but it would be better if you would plant trees so we could go back to farming the way we know how." ...the recommendation and ensuing follow-up was a tree planting campaign!

So, to connect it back to the article, maybe, "Do all those people want to be riding buses, living in sky scrapers, ...?"

From a different angle, that brings to mind Seth Chase's excellent doc "We Will Win Peace" (https://www.kanopy.com/product/we-will-win-peace). Looks at the "popular" perception of conflict minerals economic issues in central Africa vs reality, ensuing US policies based on perceptions, and ensuing negative impact. (BTW If you ever need a filmographer, Seth is great!)

The search engine broke, too. Maybe it's it's having a negative term like "javascript -npm" or searching only a single subreddit, but changing "www" to "old" in the url often takes a search from zero results to hundreds.

And that's on top of how much slower it is, how it starts with a sidebar covering the page, janky lightbox scrolling, fixed headers covering the page, autoplay everything, etc. Search and other major features don't work.
They know that they are right.
The question whether it's normal distributed doesn't even make sense. Tennis skill and intelligence are both Ordinal Scales.

IQ is normal but that is just because we take everyones intelligences and assign them to a value from a normal distribution.

Why would you use a string to store that in the first place? if you're editing text, make a structure that contains just words, sentences, paragraphs with smaller more manageable strings in there.

There's no reason for a single string to contain that much data.
I refuse to use the mobile site because of auto playing videos. I have limited data and I consider it unforgivable for them to cost me money without my consent.

It only had to happen once for me to decide this.
I eco #1 on your wish list. For the record, my company pays for the hosted version of Ghost.
For the microseconds it's in the decoded state, sure, but I'm not dealing with massive strings.

Literally all the strings I'm dealing with are under 256 codepoints.
At first glance, it doesn't look like they have much more secret sauce than just applying the state of the art deep learning techniques. The most promising AI companies are the ones advancing the field.
Integrating Memristors for Neuromorphic Computing
I'm extremely confident that picture 1 is of an LCD. The edges align with the bezel too perfectly, and the screen area is flat, not convex.
Not necessarily, most registrars will let you renew for a full year or more at any time. Buy both on the same day, set a reminder or open a ticket to renew only one domain in 3/6 mo.

Also, get a registrar with an API and use a script to figure out how long a domain is valid. Alarm through your monitoring system when you hit the too close for comfort time frame.

You can scrape whois as well but that seems fragile.
More mature companies usually keep a contract calendar where they aggregate important dates for all signed contracts.

Funny thing about domain renewal is that it’s so inexpensive that it can fall through the cracks and not get on the calendar.

Could be useful to think of all the little deadlines that cause risk and use a single process.
Centralization :(
There's not really enough space here to elaborate, so very briefly:

1) basically yes, but ... (the story is really too long)

2) hell no! What do you mean by "assigned"? If after University you got the job in a different city (not very common arrangement, and normally this different city would be some place you would never consider as a first choice for living), you could get a room in a shared apartment, in which you would get stuck forever, even after you got married. But still, there was a chance to get a separate apartment eventually (with family and kids, certainly). But if you stayed in your native city - (90% of cases) situation was really dire... long story. (BTW, you couldn't move to another city afterwards either, except by way of marriage. There were some loopholes for workers though. Again, I'd need a "switch" statement with some "cases" to elaborate.

3) Never heard of such things. Don't remember paying for TV at all, and under no circumstances they would cut it off: TV was the main instrument of propaganda).

4) Work actions, as you call them, were normal occurrence, and some types of these actions were a lot of fun. Though gathering potatoes under the rain was not very enjoyable by itself, we were always provided with the supply of technical spirits (diluted to 40%) to keep our morale high :)

EDIT: I used the term "technical spirits", b/c that's how the stuff was called in Russia - it's the supply of low-quality (rather stinky) spirits allotted to computer center allegedly for cleaning electrical contacts, but was never used for that purpose b/c it had much more important applications, including (but not limited to) as alcoholic drink and a medium of exchange
It is about taking responsibility. That it not hurt right now does not absolve us from that.

As an example, look into how Nazi Germany and the GDR used collected data. That is the reason why Germany has very strict privacy laws nowadays. But people like to forget about this by now...

There's definitely a lot of progress being made! When I was paying more attention to the field last year, Google's research team working on robotics had pushed out a really interesting paper [1] and some more recently [2].

> The way [psilocybin is] being used is in a very controlled or guided setting. ... They don't just give you a pill and send you home; you're in a room. You're with two guides, one male, one female. You're lying down on a comfortable couch. You're wearing headphones listening to a really carefully curated playlist of music — instrumental compositions for the most part — and you're wearing eyeshades, all of which is to encourage a very inward journey.

Erg, having people trip this way who are already are struggling with depression strikes me as downright dangerous. Bad trips are a real thing, and leaving someone alone with their thoughts, without a lot of sensory input, is a good way to do it. I hope they know what they're doing...

It's really much, much better and safer to be outside, in nature.
I’ve seen a couple comments about this issue, as well as it’s mention in the article. What about Postgres is appealing to the point that it is a deal breaker not to have? Is it familiarity or a specific aspect like scaling or ecosystem?
are you a redit PR? honest question.

my personal experience with the old site: slow, nothing works, even on wifi interaction is awful, broken cache headers make the index reload everytime I pressed back from an image (which you never knows if it will open the dhtml preview or change the page url to a jpg) and every time you click the first link, a modal popular tells me that I'd be hapier with the app.

the new site: absolutely the same, but somehow even slower (and it was already the top slower site!) with slightly larger images. plus a broken login flow.

i am pretty sure the only users to ever visit that site a second time on a mobile phone did so clicking a link by mistake. either they got the app or bounced.

Disagree, the "Red Flags" sections are very simplified and prominent, and there are additional resources that follow for more sophisticated consumers. Unless you're taking a strongly sardonic swipe at ICO investors...
