I spend a lot of time on Reddit, though I know HN likes to hate on it. There are lots of subreddits that I enjoy participating in there and I can curate what I want to be part of. I have a multireddit specifically for memes and jokes, some for the different video games I play, and one big multireddit for guns and related stuff.

The website is moderately usable but an independent app called Apollo really makes it a pleasant experience on my iOS devices. Hoping for a macOS port sometime.

Edit to add some specific communities:

/r/GunDeals is one of my favorites, but is incredibly dangerous to my wallet.

/r/CCW is a great resource for concealed carriers.

I know it's childish, but the various meme subreddits can be hilarious at times. I like /r/historymemes /r/grimdank (warhammer memes) and /r/lotrmemes among others.

I also keep subscribed to /r/Clojure and others but I get most of my professional news from HN.

/r/DestinyTheGame and /r/DestinyLore are fun but the former can get a little salty when things in game are changed.

I think Go is self sustainable. What would be nice is if they finally made "The Go foundation" idek if thats a thing yet but every language even D and Python have a foundation. Then ownership of domain etc can go to that Foundation.

Also Go will be fine. For example the Windows version of Go was all implemented by the Go community. The core devs were only focused on Unix and Mac at the time. I think Go will be fine.

People love the language and its being used by many in industry. Just look at Docker and other utils coded in Go. If you download Chrome or Android SDK / images from Google you are using a Go server to download those files.

What you said is correct, but I'd like to point out that controlled scientific experiments may not be the right approach for e.g. optimizing conversions on a website.

The reason is that websites are a dynamic environment. All things equal, better controlled experiments are great. However, visitor behavior, especially when from dynamic sources (google serps change weekly), changes all the time.

And that's why I prefer MAB over A/B tests -- A/B tests don't adapt to a dynamic system, so we often wish away the changes in the system to use it. Does anyone go back and re-test their biggest wins?
How Zuckerberg's Billionaires Club Can Atone for Facebook
The Well isn't a great example here. You can't read anything on the Well (other than a couple of public forums) without signing up for a paid account and disclosing your real name.

For early BBS's it was routine to create an account before doing much of anything, though they often didn't verify anything. I think some had a limited anonymous account you could use?

Was there anything before gopher that let you seamlessly jump from machine to machine?
I don't think it's cool to take a common and ambiguous term like "power" and claim that it will now only refer to a single, narrow meaning. It's not constructive. Better to qualify the term in a way that everyone in the discussion knows what you are talking about.

Knock yourself out, but as a sell side options trader I can tell you whitepoplar is right, payoffs not great if your doing it purely as a hedge. It makes more sense if you have a specific view on vols, in which case you don't really want to be buying them repeatedly, a few tenors at most, but really your prob better off just reducing your exposure. And selling otm to finance just makes things worse, it's something a bank would tell you to do to make more commissions from you
they already state those in the paper: "Our trial had some limitations, including the absence of a control group (each individual being their own control in our study), the limited number of subjects, their young age (leading to extrapolation to the aging population), and the decision to focus on hydrogen-producing individuals as an inclusion criterion. However, we can clearly conclude that, by increasing the consumption of selected vegetables, it is possible to boost the intake of fructans and thereby create a shift in the gut microbiota composition. "
A huge waste of resources too. If the price of recycling, cost of growing and cutting down trees, carbon emissions from driving spam, etc aren’t factored into the cost then we’re all paying for it.

They may be indicating a possible digestive intolerance. Raw onion and garlic is difficult for me to digest (allium intolerance?), cooking helps but still can be difficult in high quantities.
Yep. This is one of the reasons that so many people are excited about Phoenix Live View being released. It bridges that gap much farther and let’s you avoid the SPA until you hit the “is absolutely necessary” point.

In the context of the rest of the sentence, it means that only flatulence and not other symptoms like intestinal discomfort were reported.

In my experience Redis is plenty durable (especially in Elasticache with replicas + multi-region + backups). Redis _is_ an in-memory data store, so if the server crashes, you lose the data, but if you have replicas it'll fail over, if you have backups you can restore, and if you have multi-region you can failover to the other region. IMO, the idea that Redis is not durable enough is outdated.

It's something to be aware of and to have backup plans for, but we've been using Redis as our primary datastores for over a year with only one or two instance failures which were quickly resolved within minutes by failing over to replicas, with no data loss.
I disagree. I’ve spent a lot of time staring at bandit outcomes and usually they match some sort of intuition of why a variant might be exceptional.
I'm sure they would've been "My way or the highway" if they hadn't been part of Google too.
Sadly its invite only and I know nobody with an invite. If anyone fancies throwing one my way it'd be appreciated.
Before I even clicked I knew this was going to be about multi-armed bandits. I agree with the author -- why don't more people know about this? It's so effective and easy, and you get results much quicker.

> It's a well known fact that organic is the healthier option

most research on this has been inconclusive, so no.

> The idea behind organic is that no pesticides or [sic] are used in the growing process

Also not true: organic farming allows pesticides, just not "synthetic" pesticides. As a matter of fact in most countries copper pesticides are allowed in organic farming and they have very well known environmental and human health effects (it's a heavy metal after all).

> Organic can also mean no preservatives

In most cases it doesn't
Wow, that was a powerful (hot) CPU for an HTPC!
Any chance I could grab an invite code from one of you guys? Interested in this, looks like a cool place.
On the contrary, it is absolutely crucial for some of us (yes, even for developers). I work with an interactively compiled language (Clojure and ClojureScript) and while I rarely do full "builds", I care a lot about recompiling single files and reloading them in the browser. That is not a multi-threaded job and requires single-threaded performance.

This is why when looking at iMacs, I'd rather get the iMac than the iMac Pro. Multiple cores just aren't as important to me as is single-core performance.
That was my reaction as well. How can one's judgment even be worth considering after such a confession?
Look at how Microsoft supports legacy code. You can still run VB programs on any Windows machine. "Supported for years to come" means that your code should be running in machines for at least the next 15 years regardless of how technology evolves. If you can't guarantee that then you'll gain no traction with enterprise sales and without them your language will always be a hobbyist's tool.
Not for something so simple. It's trivial to abstract small, oft-repeated actions like that to their own function. As I do, regularly. And then I can give it a readable name, like `createElement` or `insertElement` with an interface like:

insertElement(type: string, text?: string. attributes?: object, parent?: string): void;

I prefer writing something like that with some minor case-handling over pulling in a library every time I meet a repeatable fragment.

If I know I'm going to run into a large host of needs, then it's a different story. But most of the time I find jQuery overkill and somewhat opaque.
WHO?

More government intrusion in people's lives and what's left of capitalism.

Let's not forget, the way this used to work and still does has been: you begin to feel burned out, then you talk to your manager/HR and family and after that things either improve or they don't (in which case you should decide to quit and get a job that suits you more).

There is a simple approach that I find universally effective. First off, you need a goal. Aimless smalltalk is unlikely to be satisfying. Your objective should be to go beyond smalltalk and have a stimulating conversation. Stimulating conversations usually involve a topic that is important to both parties, but which the parties rarely get to talk about. Your primary goal should be to find such a topic. If you find it, you will have a rewarding conversation that flows easliy. If you don't find it, the process of searching can still generate good conversation that transcends typical smalltalk. At all times, make it clear to the other person that you are interested in them, their wellbeing, and what they have to say, by looking at them when they talk, smiling often, being animated, nodding your head in agreement, etc. This puts people at ease and makes them more eager to engage. Here are the steps:

1) Consider what you know, or can observe, about the other person, which might yield clues about what is important to them.

2) Choose the topic with greatest probability of being important to both of you, but unimportant to most other people. Example: "When I drove by your house the other day, I noticed you had numerous garden gnomes. I love garden gnomes and everyone seems to think I am crazy!" Another example: "Is it my imagination or do you have a Nova Scotian accent? You're a long way from home! I spent my summers in Nova Scotia as a child and had a blast!"

3) If you don't see a good candidate topic, ask probing questions to discover one. At the very least, you can focus your questions on things important to you in an effort to find common ground, Example: "Do you have any kids? How old are they? I also have a 3-year-old and finding good daycare in the city seems impossible! Do you have a solution?"

4) If the conversation is in danger of lagging, go back to Step 1.
I always thought that a ring singularity, which is a rotating disk of infinite density with no size in the 3rd dimension, would be excellent for cutting bread.
> especially when the people living outside refuse the help available and refuse treatment for their addiction and/or mental illness, so 'helping' them would require stripping them of their rights and 'helping' them by force.

This is a stereotype, and not at all reflective of the overall cases of homelessness throughout America.
Why Donations are Important
Their own analytics/tracking is opt-out ;)
Or make a kind of asset out of a persons likeness and data. Endow individuals with ownership of their likeness and data. Give them something they can demand payment for storing, using, and selling.

I’m thinking something like the minimum civil court valuation per month of storage or use. Likeness and data would be defined by a jury of their peers.
> I don't think you will find Hume actually arguing this. People read this into him because they glide so easily from is to ought.

I don't disagree with the second part. But the ought is explicit in THN, like 'n4r9 says below. I can think of two (definitely not the only two) plausible interpretations:

1. Reason is necessarily the slave of the passions. If so, there is no sensible way in which it ought be, since normative claims require that a thing could be otherwise. If Hume truly means that, then his "ought" is probably more of an admonishment against trying (and inevitably failing) to usurp the passions. This is a different sense, but I think it's close enough in kind to justify the interpretation.

2. Reason't isn't necessarily the slave of the passions. This makes the "ought" clause more intelligible from my position, but isn't really supported by Hume's account of moral action (i.e., how we find ourselves driven to it).

> This is a factual, not a normative claim.

It's normative in the context of the "admonishment" interpretation above. But yeah, not from #2.
Why not petition Google to donate the Go project to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, since many of the core technologies (including Kubernetes, Prometheus) that make up the cloud native space are written in Go?

Technical writers don’t have any strong online forums, I’ve been working on cultivating reddit.com/r/technicalwriting as our main watering hole.

I’ve recently started browsing reddit.com/r/webdev and am finding it to be a pretty lively source of web development discussion.

Twitter gets a lot of flak but I find it helpful for getting a pulse on different communities.

Aside:

> I get most of the value from HN from what you guys have to say.

If you’d like to cultivate HN as a place where women and non-binary people also contribute, consider using “you all” instead of “you guys”.

Edit: Looks like I’m getting downvoted for the “you guys” comment, which I expected. I know that it’s usually just an old habit but I also know that being thoughtful and correcting that old habit means a lot to some people. Considering that we’re talking about online communities it seemed relevant to bring attention to here.

I have curated it to the point where I almost never see anything political and there is a lot of really good content. It's all computer vision, computer graphics, demoscene, black/grey hat and startupy type stuff.
Isn't that kind of what Elixir and Clojure did? Neither language is festooned with bells and whistles and both leveraged the Erlang VM and JVM respectively to assist in bootstrapping their ecosystems.
Tails 3.14 Compromised?
I have upgraded to Tails 3.14 from (2) different Tails ( 3.12.1 ) & ( 3.13.2 ) from (2) different local networks protected with passwords. One of which I am not associated with. The 2 downloads occured at a 24 hour interval. THe release was on May 24th. I upgraded on May 25th and 26th.

Upon being prompted by the system that an upgrade is available and do I wish to upgrade, I proceded as usual. Then, I verified the integrity of the system via the 3 methods described on :

https://tails.boum.org/install/download/index.en.html

1 - Firefox Tails verification Extension

2 - Open PGP

3 - Command Line

All gave me " Bad or forged Signature " data compromised ...

I then ran a md5sum && sha256sum for good measure, No match.

I send a bug report via the integrated whisper back feature ( in the compromised system yesterday : / ) it may or may not have gotten through to the devs.

I sent one today using another uncompromised version of an older release.

Takeaway ; verify your checksums and please someone look into this.

Since it happened on 2 networks and 2 systems, this might be a compromised mirror site serving that to many users.

News and community are two very different things to me. I get a lot of news from Ars Technica but their forum community is extremely toxic and mob-driven, not helped by the active side-taking of their staff.

Platforms I love like Imgur can be very useful but I think the use of point ratings on comments discourages honesty and turns discussion into point-hoarding pageantry.
If they are successful I think it’s entirely possible that people will switch back to using Google and away from DDG if they can be certain their data is kept private.

Use your own time, equipment and ideas. Stay out of your employer’s market. If you are launching publicly tell your manager so they aren’t surprised if THEIR manager asks them.

This is a growth opportunity that will often make you more effective at your day job.

Best of luck.
People are downvoting you, but the impacts of the cultural revolution cannot be understated. I actually disagree with the above comment's inflammatory rhetoric, but there's an interesting discussion to be had. Some current problems can be traced to the damage inflicted in the war on traditional Chinese culture.

JIRA is a case study in bad UI/UX and web anti-patterns, IMHO. I think my team at work is finally ready to ditch it in favor of basically anything else.
Although it began that way, that's 100% inaccurate today. Most threads have low noise with high civility. The biggest, meta debates are about whether politics should be included or about a politically-incorrect topic/comment. The last debate had the voting majority, the politically-correct folks, push for every thread to allow for making political points or calling people out. Which they do here and there with debates following.

Most of the time it's chill, though. Just pointing out that it has a specific, political leaning that readers here may like, not like, or not care one way or the other.
Orkhon: ML Inference Framework and Server Runtime (Rust and Python)
That’s true in a lot of cases mainly because of the approach to rendering. So many languages focus on rendering the entire HTML structure before sending the first byte back, specifically so that the page can be wrapped in a cache. This forces a lot of memory allocation to build up strings and parts of strings that takes time on its own, is often repetitive over the same HTML tags and then all of that has to be garbage collected at the end of the request.

The approach taken by Elixir’s Phoenix framework is so fast because it avoids all of those pitfalls. Most people have to do a double take when they see the speed comparisons.

Here’s a great write up: https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/elixir-and-io-lists-part-2...
Very interested in getting in on taht when it starts opening up. To me there's a crisis of credibility in modern media, especially social media - contributors are so ephemerial and pseudonymous, it's too easy for sockpuppets, bots, paid posters, etc. to masquerade as journalists and average citizens.

A system that focuses on exclusivity and controlling who has the algorithmic equivalent of credibility on their platform is very interesting to me.
And this is why I like Parcel. It's by no means perfect but having pretty much zero config and still being able to jump into using pretty much whether system you want with a simple command is nice.

Frankly I thought jQuery was a horrific way of building stuff, and moving to a declarative approach like React is a huge step forward. Most complaints I've seen about it are due to incompetence or misunderstanding.
The wavelengths that are furthest apart are red and violet. Which perceptually are close together, for red-green blind as well. But what does matter is picking the colors based on the corresponding receptors' peak sensitivity. The L receptors are most sensitive to red, and the S receptors to blue, so in that sense you're right. (Red-green blind or weak people lack the M receptors of have anomalous versions, respectively.)

They do block it. Which is why it doesn't work if you install from your OS repo. You need to get it directly from GitHub.

for your last point, that the api is simple, explains all the errors, but forces you to handle them; that’s the aws philosophy. they give you full insight into how each of their products fail and it’s up to the integrator to figure out how to use them properly in a partial outage. it’s difficult to do this because it implies you’re code has to be multi region ready. contrast this with google that mostly designs the api as one that will try to mask as much of this as possible. they are trying to offer global solutions that solve it for you
and there's a library around that can do it for you, at least in java
This specific example really just applies to all naive implementations of AJAX infinite scroll, which far predates the rise in popularity of SPAs.

Discourse, a forum written as a SPA in Ember, changes your URL as you scroll to each post. Even if you scroll down and let javascript load in more pages of content, the URL will reflect the post you’ve scrolled to, and will jump right to it if you go somewhere else then click Back, or just load the link:

As the article points out, Github remains unblocked due to it's economic importance to developers, despite it hosting material such as the 996 protest.

If Github were to be rebuilt in China, I do not believe that it would be redesigned with decentralization as a guiding principle. The Government would view this as a great opportunity to 'fix' issues with the current setup. The replacement would be receive funding from the Government and it would be designed with national interests (as defined by the Government) forefront in mind.

The good news is that according to @decster in a cousin comment, it may be the case that the Government is sufficiently incompetent that this may not be a risk. On the other hand, incompetence in Government hasn't stopped bad ideas from being forced on people in the past, so...
