If you are at the application level then you can use whatever, but Span<T> is pretty handy. If you are calling an method that has both Span and Array overloads, prefer the Span version since it is less likely to copy or allocate.

The real selling point is that Span is much more flexible than an Array. Both Managed and Unmanged memory can work with it. If you load a big string and need to get each line from it, you can slice into the middle of the string safely and get a ReadOnlySpan<char> that supports most 'string' operations without allocating any memory.

Or imagine you need to process some huge file, typically you would read it chunk by chunk copying the data from the Stream into some byte[]. But with Span you could open a Memory Mapped File and work on segments of the file without copying into temp buffers.

You gain a lot by avoiding memory copies and by allocating fewer objects (less work for the GC). For some workloads then can be a huge speedup.
The kind of toxic people we are talking about on Reddit are not toxic for their politics. Racism, bigotry, and misogyny are not political topics. It isn't like tax policy or any other topic that can be debated. There is one clear side that is wrong.

The Flaws with Coverage of Google AI's Recent New Speech Recognition Algorithm
Detriment is wholly subjective here. When it comes to politics or social issues, people have different views on how society "should be", and those differences are offensive and considered toxic to the other side. In that sense, everybody is toxic and the label is meaningless and unactionable.

Obviously, most people hold beliefs of some form, and those beliefs will clash with others. Bandying around "toxic" as an absolute in those situations is narrow-minded and prejudiced. Reasonable people with contributions in one neutral area and one controversial area are lumped with this same label as trolls, doxers, and inciters of violence.

Specificity of labels is very important, especially when they are tied to consequences.

Where "toxic" can certainly be used is in relation to a certain goal, like reasonable level-headed discussion, or subscription to a certain worldview; instead of as absolute. Even actions like deliberate trolling aren't considered toxic on sites like 4chan, because that's part of their accepted and promoted culture.

I wrote an essay on Google and DoubleClick: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.com/2018/04/google-doubleclick-moz...
My take is that its basically a branded bitcoin with some personal utility and personal luxury component mixed in. There is a built-in hope that there will be a larger audience for these products (i.e. more globally affluent consumers, etc.) who will drive the price up and that it is sufficiently resource intensive (labor in this case) to build new ones.
> It's not anonymous ( they track your identity and feed it to the government )

Are you referring to the missing warrant canary? That's about the time I stopped using Reddit, but I doubt they're selling data to the government. They're probably ordered to give out data due to National Security Letters.

> The frontpage will be littered with ad-like submissions ( aka ads ).

/r/hailcorporate is kinda interesting in that they like to point this out. It's not necessarily advertisers pushing their stuff, but a mix of regular users who just embrace consumerism and corporatism + ad bots. It's sometimes impossible to tell the two apart.

> Actually reddit could and did monetize "toxic content". How do you think reddit has been around for nearly 13 years?

I think OP is talking about all the now banned subs: /r/jailbait (and all the other bait subs), /r/niggers, /r/fatpeoplehate, etc. etc.

> Also, reddit stopped being a community a long time ago

I don't use Reddit anymore, except for local subs sometimes. The combination of the warranty canary and the mass bannings made me fed up. But what pissed me off the most was the CEO that edited comments in the database, and then kept his job with an apology. You should have to step down after that.

I agree though. Reddit isn't a great service. I hope we see more smaller sites based around the concept; maybe more Lobster instances for niche communities.

Rich people spend less relative to their wealth and income than poor people do. That means more people are going to be buying more things, increasing demand, which... raises prices.
I appreciate the level-headed rebuttal. Usually people get very angry and throw reason away in online forums. I am not claiming with certainty that this stuff is true, but as someone who has been following crypto markets pretty closely for a while now, it is very apparent to me that it is and has been happening. Perhaps some day there will be some independent, investigative journalist that proves it, but for now it is all just speculation.

I somewhat disagree about Bill Gates and Warren Buffet’s intentions though. I believe strongly that wealthy individuals and banks and governments are very scared about the threat that crypto currencies pose to their wealth. The more money that moves into crypto currencies from the traditional financial system the more they have to lose. Also some of the quotes they are throwing around are not those found in a well educated debate, but rather childish, playground insults:

“Probably rat poison squared” – Warren Buffet

“A rare technology that has caused deaths in a fairly direct way” – Bill Gates

“Worthless, artificial gold” – Charlie Munger

“A scum-ball activity.” – Charlie Munger

“It’s just dementia. It’s like somebody else is trading turds and you decide I can’t be left out.” – Charlie Munger

Nearly as bad as trading “freshly harvested baby brains” – Charlie Munger

If they really did not feel threatened by Bitcoin or think there was something there, they would keep their mouths shut.

I speak as someone whose largely the sites demographic (20-35, liberal leaning male), so I'm looking at this from a place where I don't feel threatened or marginalized, so bear with me.

What's to stop other groups from starting more focused subreddits? I understand what you're saying /r/Politics has a clearly left lean to it, but /r/Conservative seems to be relatively healthy (from my occasional peek in).

Even something like The_Donald still survives, and I'd dare to say it's not the content, but its constant attempt at stunts and controversy that's causing the most ill will towards it. I know we've seen hate subreddit's deleted, but I feel that's largely understandable when the very goal of the subreddit is toxicity toward a particular group.

I guess the fun with this is that the biggest items on Reddit are going to be the ones that have the biggest population interested in them, but I don't know if it's necessarily hard to create a sub group, it just won't make it to the front page. I'm subbed to a ton of subreddits that meet that criteria.

The point of the GDPR, as I understood it, is to protect the privacy of users. It does this by limiting users to services that fall within the constraints defined by the regulation. In this sense, your own preferences and will have no meaning, as the GDPR attempts to achieve its goal, in part, by limiting your choices.
> Common mistakes made by salespeople and founders:

> - Thinking their goal is to close a prospect on the first call

> - Giving a full demo and presenting pricing on the first call

> - Prematurely trying to shorten the sales process

These are mistakes? Having been on the receiving end of many "sales processes" I would say the shorter the sales process, the better. I often feel like companies who are too deep into doing high touch sales don't really respect my time and are shocked when I tell them to cut to the chase and yes, I do expect to hear about pricing on the first call, otherwise there won't be another call.

Disclaimer: I have zero patience for abundant sales processes.

This lack of diversity of media/thought just propagates our current media landscape where people generally fall into 2 camps: Liberal sources (CNN/NBC/NYT) and then Fox viewers. With reddit there's a real opportunity to give readers a diversity of opinion, but in this upvote/downvote scheme usually the opposing opinion is buried so that it may never be seen. At least from my POV the thing reddit could improve from in this respect may be more of going into a HN type model by removing the downvote button.
This is a solid point. This gives the Kremlin a lot of future propaganda fodder. It'll only be worth it if the sting uncovers smoking gun evidence that the orders came from the Kremlin.

I do not believe that it's impossible to fix Spectre in hardware without disabling speculation. How about we fix the state changes that Spectre detects. For example, we could have a buffer that stores evicted cache lines during speculation and restores them if a rollback is necessary. Yeah, it wouldn't be free, but it would be faster than disabling all speculation.
Anecdote: the bozo content of the securities market went down after crypto. Particular in private equity and venture capital. The segregation of low-information traders in the crypto space may have made other markets more reliable.
Battery packs typically use 18650 Lithium cells which are a bit bigger than AA sized. You can easily replace them in older battery packs (and there are many tutorials online on how to do so) but newer laptops have circuitry inside which tracks the number of charge cycles and disables the battery regardless of if it has new cells.
> I am a heavy Reddit user and I don't notice any of these things

You don't see politics related content on reddit daily? I used reddit since reddit was days old ( years before the digg migration ) so maybe we visited different websites.

> Curate your subreddit list and unsubscribe from all the default subs

That defeats the point of reddit doesn't it? Or what made reddit great. I never used reddit to be part of a bubble. Not only are default subs a bubble today, reddit itself is a bubble.

> and that isn't even Reddit's fault, it's just inevitable once they reach a certain size.

Actually it is reddit's fault. When they allowed and encouraged censorship, it allowed a small faction of political and news media/ngo affiliated mods to turn subreddits into their propaganda platform.
I disagree that this is the same as a simple inflation argument. If no new money is injected to pay for the program, we have the same amount of money paying for the same stuff, so no overall increase in prices.

Housing is special in that everybody needs to live somewhere, and you can't take it with you anywhere. If I want to work in a certain geographical area, I simply have to live near there as well. The vast majority of the population does not have the option of remote work.

Since landlords know this, they know that if they're not already offering subsidized housing, that their tenants can afford more, so they do the rational thing and raise prices.
It's a shame its full of shills and mods that profit from heavily censorship.
Another data point to support your view: I'm the same way. In fact, I want to hear about pricing in the first email you send me before we do a sales call, and maybe a short demo video. If I need help, then we can do a full demo. Otherwise, just take my damn money 'cause I desperately want you to solve my hairy problem.
It's mostly regional variation rather than brand names. American English almost always uses "cotton swab" as the generic term while British English today uses "cotton bud" more often. Overall "cotton swab" appears to be the most common English term.

Given that "cotton bud" appears to be a relatively recent British quirk (gaining popularity in the last couple decades), I would submit that "cotton swab" is the original and proper generic term.

The biggest value gain from Reddit, to me, is the ability to centralize effectively around different hobbies and activities. In the past, if you wanted to find an online community for a movie or a game, you had to find a forum for that community. Finding forums that are well managed and capture a good segment of the community is hard -- and Reddit just becomes a default place to look now.

Let's say a new TV show starts airing, and you really like it and want to discuss it more. You can probably bet there's a subreddit for it, and in that community, a ton of people interested in it. You can bet there are threads for discussing it in other parts of Reddit too. Worst case, you can make one yourself.

This is something that everyone has in common. Everyone has a community they want to "be apart of" and Reddit lets you express yourself to those communities without having an identity tied to that community. There are groups on Facebook, but it's so tied to you that it's hard to just be a part of a community. On Twitter, people tend to congregate around others in their interest domain, but by default, all posts go everywhere. Someone into a show on Twitter is going to dilute their feed and have a similarly diluted feed if they discuss it. In contrast, a subreddit is a concentrated mass of people around a topic.

I don't really get much value outside of this centralization. The default subreddits are too general for my taste, so I don't subscribe to many. But for the 80-90 different topics and communities I like to see, it's great.

There are social and political circles in which demonstrating the ability to piss away money without caring is the only way to rise in status/power. You think it's silly, and from a standpoint of pure utility, that may be true. But it doesn't make it less important to the people who move in those circles.

You don't have to play in arena one or the other. You can say, hedge a long BTC position by selling futures contracts. Or if the markets get out of balance you can buy in one and sell in the other until they come into sync. If you sell a bunch of over priced futures you will want to buy a bunch of BTC to balance the book and that will move the price of BTC.

The target property overrides the global setting, so you can set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD as the default and then set the target property if you really need a different standard for some reason. And if you have a whole sub-project that needs a specific version, you can set CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD before calling add_subdirectory to have it apply to only the targets in that directory.
I have lots of friends who work for the big 4 firms. I think the biggest worry is that most of the people doing the actual audit procedures are so inexperienced and have no long-term goal of staying with the firm.
