I like lines-spent as a measure, but I wish I could figure out a hybrid measure which didn't hurt lines which confirm/narrow the state space (such as the "unnecessary asserts to show programmer intent").

Somehow being able to distinguish this would help avoid insanely complicated code (of which usually can be much, much simpler), but doesn't encourage anyone to literally ignore all error checking and do everything as some kind of chained-single-line-expression abomination [1].

The Russian sub fleet is in dismal shape currently. And launching something like this would probably result in detection and tracking of the sub. Most of these videos were off the West Coast near San Diego, in a weapons training area, so that would be like poking the wasp nest with a stick.

I find this “unlimited” meaning 22GB very ridiculous.
By the way, if anyone is looking for an alternative right now, the industry (well at least the amateur community) seems to be moving towards Davinci Resolve (as Premiere replacement) which has a free version (very functional, can export up to 4k videos), has a linux version (!) (with some limitations) and has been much more stable for me so far.
So, who does the moderation, new group creation, and antispam? Those were always problems.
For their original plan, the "slower after" was capped at 256 kb/s, it's not clear if the same applies to the unlimited plan.
They don't make nearly as much as others with that traffic. Brand safety issues with subreddits and discussions, anonymous user profiles, poor mobile experience, mostly link aggregation instead of content, high adblocking, etc.

Here's an old answer of mine comparing reddit's $7M to Instagram's $700M in 2014: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-reddits-advertising-revenues-o...
I had the same thing happen. I rooted my Kindle and kept it in flight mode to avoid tracking and updates. After not using it for months I recharged it and when I turned it on it had auto updated to the latest version, killing root.

So not only did mine exit flight mode it somehow re-enabled updates and updated itself.

Yes similar, I'm talking about reactive UI components though (used in React, Vue, Angular etc.). They're a class that might have many functions. In this case all the component's functions would be pure functions though.

Perhaps a better term could be pure components maybe?

Most alternative domain name systems nest everything under a single TLD – .eth, .onion, etc. In theory, either the standard DNS or a different alternative name system could cause a conflict by using the same TLD themselves. But unsurprisingly, ICANN/IETF are a lot more receptive to "please avoid using this one semi-branded TLD" than "please hand over the entire namespace to us". .onion is already formally reserved by IETF RFC as a "special-use domain name", and hopefully .eth will join it in the future. As for a different alternative name system, conflict over .eth could theoretically happen if Ethereum forks again or if ENS itself is somehow forked, but an independent effort would presumably pick a different name.
This is the attitude of someone with a good job or lots of opportunities and seems pretty common on HN. Many (most?) people do not have the luxury of high-minded ideals like this.

Plus, you do realize you're categorically ruling out a company by projecting one trait onto their entire culture, for the crime of using an arbitrary signaling factor?
YMMV, of course, but I thought I was the same way. Then I realized that I like having some conversations but not others. But I would get put into the conversations I didn't like, which made me retreat to recharge and not get as many of the conversations I do like. So I decided to be more proactive about having conversations with people I want to talk to, about stuff I want to talk about, and find I enjoy those conversations a lot.

This seems the most credible to me. I wonder which nation state has these machines? Because they are clearly incredible. It would certainly be nicer than using conventional aircraft when flying Australia to Europe, even at the expense of experiencing high G forces.

I think the press articles we see about this are part of a broader information war campaign trying to plant red herrings to confuse other nation state actors.
I have been blessed to have an office to myself. The day they move me to an open office (read labor pit) is the day I only come in half the week and take the rest of the week remote. Face to face has its uses, but I can't get meaningful thoughtful work done if I don't have my own space. Judging by my observations passing by open offices, I'd wager most people have the same take.
You should clarify that your experience us pretty much exclusive to web development which is bot indicative of a lot of work that goes on in software creation and computer science research. Just a weird nit pick of mine that most people here seem to be web devs who assume everyone else is - it creates a weird environment for discussion.
It's more the fact that the engineers working there should be embarrassed, not that it's important. You would think that the engineers there would be able to improve their infrastructure after a few years but it's still as flaky now as it was a few years ago. That doesn't speak well of the caliber of engineers there.
"I feel like there's a business opportunity for a meta-service that automatically manages monthly subscriptions for you on different services. You queue up a catalog of shows you want to watch, and it creates an optimized schedule for you and helps sign up for the individual streaming service on a given month in order to watch the show you want." Basically a premium Chromecast/Roku/etc service would help seal that up I suspect......but I suspect the licensing wars are only starting to ramp up.
thanks! going to listen now with a cup of tea, great way to end the day.
Every user engagement metric has increased since the redesign. Unfortunate for some of us, and it doesn't preclude the metrics measuring the wrong thing, but that's reality on the ground.

Same reason why Gmail is a bloated mess, because that's what the metrics show is wanted by users.

This is awesome OP. The most missed metric in social platforms that I wish we could get is new followers vs lost followers vs total followers. Not sure if any social APIs support that anymore.

Of course they are, why wouldn't they? It's not like it's any worse than any other "unlimited" plan you can get and giving out 10x more usage at 0x more cost isn't helping their margins while trying to get heavy users to pay per gig is.
Data Visualization: Principles and Practice
Just assume almost everything is a data grab and you will be right more often than wrong.
Would just like to piggyback on this to say that the wording of what is "real" is very specific:

>[the Navy] designates the objects contained in these videos as unidentified aerial phenomena.

That is to say, the videos are "real" in that the source is genuine (captured by the U.S. Navy and not a doctored hoax), but the Navy is not making any other statement on what appears in the video.
Oh, and a much simpler thought came to me.

B2 is clearly going to be profitable per byte. It would charge $20 for 4TB and $25 for 5TB.

In comparison to that, $18 for 4-5TB is probably not losing money.
Wonder if this is also one of the reasons that they try so hard to opt you into using their built-in "Google VPN"? Get some users that might otherwise use VPN software for "security in public places" to just trust Google instead.

Oh please, spare me. A parent went crazy after reading a joke in on a site related to C, better bash the author, he'll break my child who reads programming related sites every day! ignores the rest of the internet, which totally isn't full of violence or inappropriate content
Are we going to wage internet war against programmers, specifically ones working with C, because they're damaging our children?

Are you serious? I'm genuinely laughing out loud, you're literally trying to find every iota of wrong so we can have this pointless conversation we'll both forget and all you came up with was - "Or perhaps the parent just saw this when reading the page" :)

Every single bank in every country that wishes to use USD is in that position today, it is not related to whether they were shown to help in some criminal activity.

Seriously, like what? In how many percent of situations does this ever come up. Sure it's more than >0, but if it is like 1$/person does it really make sense? This is economic bullying by a country that right now happens to be in a position (having strong military, influence and their currency being the reserve one) to be able to get away with it.
Sky CREDIT SOLUTION fixed my credit
There is so much fuss about Sky Credit Solution and how good they are at credit repair that I had to see for myself, I had a couple of collections, evictions and 2 repos, along with a credit score of 540. 10 days after I met the requirements and work began on my credit, all the negative and derogatory items were erased and my score was raised to 758. If you are still in doubt, I am here to tell you that it really works. Waste no time in contacting them {SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM/ (620) 399 6316}. I even got tradelines added to my report and my loan got approved because of this.

It's currently in-vogue to be scared of and hate nazi's. For some reason though that sentiment never took root against communists.

I've have degrees from 3 different universities; the one I enjoyed the most was at a school that evolved from a community college over the past 30 years: small classes, profs who care about teaching, administrators trying to build something new & exciting and diverse students with no preconceived notion of their own self-importance. It wasn't all gravy but overall I loved it.
You know, the people who talk about USENET and IRC are people who don't want to be "updated" to what modern users demand. I don't know if you've had a look around you lately, but the modern internet is a dumpster fire.

Anyways, ideally you would be able to connect to services with whichever client you want. You could use a pretty eye candy client, or then not. With the web, however, it's an impossible feat to implement a standards compliant browser.
Steam is worse - weekly "maintenance" on Tuesday evening, where everyone is disconnected for ~10-20 minutes.

Exactly. Will this new platform provide a safe space for the brilliant minds at /r/fatpeoplehate? /s

The problem with all anti-censorship platforms is that they become hate platforms by default, because only people who get deplatformed have an incentive to move there, and it’s mostly hateful loudmouths who get deplatformed.
To be fair, Reddit sucks.
No, he didn’t. Read his email. The context here is critical.

He’s simply saying that the young woman’s claim, who was acting as a “masseuse”, is that Epstein directed her to engage in sexual activity with Minsky.

But Epstein didn’t direct her to do this in front of Minsky, so Minsky likely had no idea that Epstein coerced her. So, we shouldn’t assume that Minsky is a rapist if he had no idea that she was not willing.

If I threatened to kill a woman if she did not show up where I knew that you would be, seduce you, and have sex with you, does that make you a rapist? It’s certainly wrong, which Stallman acknowledged, while also saying Epstein should be in jail, but it’s not clear that you’re culpable. I think that would make me the criminal, not you.

It hasn’t even been established that Minsky accepted her advances. Her only claim is that Epstein directed her to do it, not that it happened. A witness said Minsky declined her advances. Minsky is no longer alive. So given what we know, it is not appropriate to say Minsky raped or assaulted anyone, whether the act even happened or not.
> Every user engagement metric has increased since the redesign.

Doesn't that just mean that users are spending more time on the site because it's so much more of a pain to get what they actually want out of it? Like, you could increase "user engagement" of a shopping mall by turning it into a labyrinth and rearranging the shops every day.
That hypothesis and also video/optical/signal "lens flares" and other such technical glitch theories have been discussed widely.

The reason none of that holds up is because of the way advanced "sensor fusion" and direct observers with the naked eye have all agreed and converged on highly detailed accounts from multiple angles.

You might imagine that "sensor fusion" involves some centralized control plane that collects and controls the redistributed captures at a focal choke point, where maybe the NSA (or a foreign APT implant, or some such high tech evil-doer) could sneak in and spoof some deep fake concoction into the mix, but these are fault tolerant systems, including direct observations from boots on the ground in visual contact with the objects. You have personnel with ordinary binoculars. You have vehicles with weapons systems that expect jamming and hostile environments. Sensor fusion is one tool, and not the only tool in the kit.

They have ships with eyes in multiple spectrum bands, especially radio, microwave, IR and broad daylight. People looking at unfused radar, sending planes to a radar return, and then seeing and following the object by visual flight rules.

This isn't a situation where a single point of failure introduces doubt. In fact, it is the very opposite: multiple independent sources of high integrity, at least if you trust The U.S. Navy.

> Graphical programming is a popular example: the author pooh-poohs the terminal, for example. But text is the densest way we can precisely convey information; if we're trying to scale to the next system size, cutting information density by ½ (or more!) is not a good first step.

You don't necessarily need a terminal for a text-based interface (looking at you, Oberon). Our terminals are teletype emulators. TTY is hard-baked deep into the most prevalent operating systems and it affects what we consider "programming" and limits our collective horizon.
One story probably sums the total of my knowledge on this: when John Templeton was in his 80s, a billionaire, had been crushing it for five decades, he was researching the effect of planetary cycles and horoscopes on the market.

I know a few people who managed money with him in Nassau at this time. He wasn't senile. So what was he doing? He was willing to test his beliefs...about everything. He could put aside everything he thought he knew even after five decades of success and ask one simple question: what works?

Now ask the 30-year old BSD "crushing it bro" dude with the CFA and name brand fund manager on his CV about horoscopes. He will tell you it doesn't work but he won't be able to tell you how he know this (in most cases, he won't even understand the distinction between his thoughts and reality).

Most people in the industry know all the facts. They act very professionally at all times when talking seriously with the peers about their many opinions (none of them tested). They don't look at history, they don't look at what works, they don't look at their own decisions (usually, some good funds impose this on managers), they can't think creatively about risk, and they don't know the one or two facts that are important in a big woodpile of information.

One answer that history suggests, in addition to the above, is that this always occurs. This has been happening for hundreds of years. But no-one cares. This time it is different, I am special, I am unique, I have been chosen, etc. (if anything, changes in attitudes have made this thinking even more pervasive...young people are even more individualistic and education institutions generally encourage an indulgent self-image).

Btw: I have (unfortunately) read most books about investment. I am aware of only one book aimed at investors that actually looks at this effect at large (i.e. what is the relationship between technology and markets? why actually works? what has happened in these situations before? etc.): Engines that Move Markets. One book. A million books about speculation and bubbles...but how many books about actual markets, actual technology, and actual investment...one.

The closest is possibly Capital Returns and Capital Account from Marathon...but this is really just a narrative account of two decades. In terms of a "big theory" historical view, there is only one book. That fact alone should demonstrate how utterly disinterested the industry is in anything approaching knowledge (so none of the questions that you pose really matter...no-one cares).
Depends on how you define engagement. When you set all the videos to autoplay with sound of course users are going to be more engaged. They're either scrambling to figure out where that noise is coming from or "watching" the videos.
That's a great solution, and I think that's what a lot of webpack build systems do.

In Angular, if a src file changes, then the corresponding build file hash changes. They call it cache-busting as it breaks the cache.

What kind of web stack are you running?
When you aim for the lowest common denominator, you lose the users at the other end of the Bell curve.
Context is often not data, e.g. knowledge of past events, which can be subject to incomplete information or bias (i.e. history is written by the victorious).
One perk of it being open source is that you can take your payment in "benefiting the world" instead of cash. You're given the platform to improve it if you want; expecting some other kind of compensation for addressing your own complaint doesn't seem realistic.

There is a valid reason based in dismantling regulatory capture. The California rules make it necessary for carmakers to produce multiple types of cars for different regions of the country, or just produce all cars based on California's costlier standards. Car prices are already raised due to the regulations. The big automakers support it because they've already built infrastructure for it and they have the resources to continue to pay for it. Small new competitors might not.
I can imagine some companies wanting that data to be accessed in a specific delivery format (i.e. with branding experience attached).

Also might be concerned about inaccuracies from variable pricing models for example. There’s a few reasons why you may not want it accessible - hence one of the reasons why CORS is even a thing.
