This might be a very naive take, but perhaps you need to spell out what people are supposed to do, so they can do it? "Murder bad" is obvious, but there's a ton of much subtler regulations that might not be obvious or intuitive unless they're explicitly written down.

Major labels do license deals too (in my experience, they're actually more common now). So the artist retains ownership of the master recording, but the end result is much the same, as it's typically exclusive and the term is long.
My guess would be that your webapp is serving images in a blocking fashion, meaning every time a use requests an image it will fetch the image for the user AND block the http serving thread until the image is uploaded. Can you provide more context (eg: tech stack)?

I have learned unix with sunOs in 1990. Man pages were excellent. The first command I learned was "man man". There was a paper version of the man pages available in the computer room (among many other sun documentations). I became pissed by man pages only when I switched to linux. At that time, I have discovered the crypt(3) command by looking at the index of man pages. One week later, I had cracked 10% of passwords of the school (creating my own dictionary).
I thought this too, so you’re not alone. I’ve been very surprised to learn what a small minority we are.
How this pattern/toolset protect against supply chain compromises of the dependencies used to build the "Datadog Agent" itself?
Because I've read other, less entertaining writing on the history of money which concurs with Graeber's central argument that money is much best understood as debt accounting (and some pretty terrible writing about the magical powers of certain metals) and the sloppiness in illustrative anecdotes (or impractical utopian proposals of regular debt jubilees) doesn't really affect that central thesis. I wouldn't necessarily rely on Graeber's colourful anecdotes about historical civilisations or obscure tribes being accurate and uncontroversial without checking what other anthropologists think, but those are 'small picture' things.
Not only are the obvious things miserable, but they also introduced a memory leak to their post/comment creation interface (I did report, ironically using the same interface). Today I discovered that the website will crash in Firefox if you try to find in page—presumably after a certain point it triggers a conflict with their infinite scroll implementation.
Add ceddit.com to that list. It will cure your reddit addiction real quick.
Wow, Martians are now programming in Rust. It really is a popular language.
I'm not an expert on the ins-and-outs of floating-point numbers, but I've always heard fp types have a disproportionately large amount of their accuracy at values < 1. My guess is that it's not that wasteful sticking with floats or doubles.

What I do wish the languages I used had support for, is number types that the user could clamp to a specific range. It would be nice to have my code throw an error if some function resulted in clipped audio, for example. I mean, without the programmer writing any extra code, of course.

I don't know but I'm pissed. That's why I started working on my own social platform as a replacement that has some core values that are aligned with the needs of the community:

- UX is paramount on any device.

- Your data is your own. This is especially important for community administrators who have literally no control over how the content is organized (true for Reddit, Facebook, etc) or where the content goes

- Communities define their own rules

- There is an easy way to organize meetups as well

It works with a simple subscription model where we host the service. No ads, tracking or other shady shit involved. If you're interested I'm gonna post it here once the MVP is complete.

Could this be an initial step towards elixir-like chaining?

"foobar" => upcase() => x
Maybe we need some sort of "trust model" for dependencies. E.g. if you depend on a package, you'll have to explicitly state that you trust it. Conversely, a package author may declare that not only are they responsible for their own code, they have also either only used trusted dependencies, or declare their own trust (e.g. by review) of certain dependencies, so that you can transitively build up a trust chain...

In practice, that would all be much more difficult, of course. But it would surface the underlying issue which is that while code reuse is fine and acceptable, using unvetted code is not.
There are many ways to represent 1, but it’s still 1.

9gag's web UI is way better than the new Reddit UI
"[foo.bar.bletch]something.txt"

Why is that better though - isn't that just sheer familiarity?

NB It looks ugly to me as well but a lot of syntax looks ugly until you become familiar with it (C, PostScript, Lisp, Python all seemed pretty weird looking to me first time I used them and I came to really like all those languages over time).
I would love to see the analytics on old.reddit.com and the discussions it causes at Reddit HQ.

Edit: As a number of others have mentioned below. I too have reduced reddit intake due to the poor UI amongst a realisation of its not a good use of my time.
Insightful comment. This falls in line with conspiracy theories: while on the whole its good to be critical or skeptic, when you use all kinds of extraneous data points to make it fit your pre-chosen theory, it no longer is science.
Well all the FP languages without any kind of OOP like features, are doomed to stay as academia research projects, so.
Yeah, fair point. From a cost standpoint it's more about using the same server for your application and your database.

Reddit skews consistently young though. Too young for many people's tastes (including mine). There is just too much meme-noise in subreddits that are not well moderated. Shallow thinking and childish antics derail any deep conversation.

DEC documentation was always very good but then it was a product you paid for.
Like anthropology, you have to come up with a story and run with it but it's just a story in the end. If anything, the current situation will see people being graded even more for their work and productivity. You have to recall that we are all in this together. Everyone became a remote worker in a new remote worker culture. No one is an unknown quantity when we are all measured in the same way.
Anecdote this jogged from my memory: my first Unix experience was NetBSD on a SEGA Dreamcast game console, of all things. This must have been some time in 2000 or 2001, but I remember sitting there trying every possible command I could think of trying to find one that did anything at all so i could keep going and learn more. The DOS commands I knew obviously didn’t do anything. Neither did anything like ‘help’ or ‘?’. After five minutes or so of trying commands off the top of my head I tried ‘exit’, and that was the end of my Unix experience until I mail ordered a Mandrake Linux CD-ROM set in 2002 :)

I always think that about modern SLR cameras. They took a series of brilliant, instantly accessible physical dials (around the lens for aperture, on the top for exposure) and replaced them with menus and buttons on a tiny screen. WHY? How is that progress?

I think if someone did a kickstarter for a very simple physical buttoned digital camera it would do very well.
Ah yes!

Documentation for VMS and the whole shebang of layered products.

Until this day, in my book, the absolute gold standard when it comes to documentation.

Having the arguably best tools suite to develop (LSE, Debugger, what have you) also didn't hurt.

I still believe it the best operating system I ever worked with.

Ironically the article describes quite precisely why DEC failed.

Most of the company had a visceral hate of anything Unix and anybody involved with anything that even smelled faintly of Unix was a second class citizen.

Well, looking at Ultrix may have been the main reason for that. Ironically and decades later they had one of the best Unix offers on the market with Tru64 Unix.

DEC was in many, many respects an awesome company. Shame that Compaq (and later HP) never really had a clue about what they actually got there.

Source: I worked for DEC from 90 - 94.
That's three words though, and the SO OP asked for a single word.
I can't be the only one who thought that book was grasping at straws for validation most of the time.

The book makes some very strong theories without much explanation, and then finds random tidbids of evidence to support them while ignoring the rest of the world. To me it felt closer to Guns, Germs and Steel than to serious history-of-the-world type of books.

Maybe if the author's theory was less radical it would have worked, but I was having a hard time believing that what he wrote was anywhere near true.
> Yet it is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way, as in the case of the fish-fryers, to ensure that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work.

His proneness to conspiracy theories casts everything he says in doubt. So let's get this straight: the "rulers" of society feels the need to spend a ton of money creating bullshit jobs, and then conspire to keep people unhappy and blaming others? I did not like Debt very much for this reason.
This is unfair. That contract was sold to the Republican National Committee 3 years ago. They also sold to most of the democrat campaigns. I'd be careful about any business with over 1,000 customers, chances are they have a few shady clients in their portfolio.
A digital test can be tuned to a better sensitivity.

The UX advantage comes from giving a definitive answer. The answer can change at later times when the body starts giving stronger signals. You can simply indicate that you need to wait X number of days to detect the pregnancy and problem solved.

This is much better UX than learning biology and chemistry to be able to read a test result. What does a faint line means? Probably means you need 4 years degree in a related field to have an educated guess. To have a definitive answer you need a to have a career in it.

Realistically though, it means you will need to ask someone who already have the degree, which means what good is the test for?

The digital test does guide you how to get to the right answer. Yes, if the threshold is too high and you test too early it can give you a false negative but this is a simple problem that can be solved by recommending a second test in few days.

> Unix and C however form a powerful deterrent to the average astronomer to write her or his own code (and the average astronomer's C is much, much worse than his Fortran used to be).

Compared to what? If I want to quickly bang out some code and run it, installing fedora (or another distro) is probbably the least painful way to get it done.

I would say that Windows is a powerful deterrent to the average person writing their own code much more so than Linux.

I wonder when the reckoning for poorly built single page javascript apps will come. Or are we already seeing it with users switching to native apps for social media?
I don't think this is a naming issue at all. In the provided example, 'Accuracy' is the correct name for the parameter, as that's what the parameter represents, accuracy. The fact that accuracy should be given as a value in an interval from 0 to 1 should be a property of parameter type. In other words, the parameter should not be a float, but a more constrained type that allows floats only in [0,1].

EDIT: Some of you asked what about languages that don't support such more constrained types, so to answer all of you here: different languages have different capabilities, of course, so while some may make what I proposed trivial, in others it would be almost or literally impossible. However, I believe most of the more popular languages support creation of custom data types?
So the idea (for those languages at least) is quite simple - hold the value as a float, but wrap it in a custom data type that makes sure the value stays within bounds through accessor methods.
> I'm not aware of any significant trend of suing security camera owners for copyright infractions, for example.

It doesn't matter if anyone is being sued or in what quantity. Most types of incidental recordings have been declared copyright infringement in some capacity or another, and everything else is selective enforcement.

By default, have your firewall block _all_ outward connections. Only whitelist the ones you know you need. And as narrow as possible (i.e. specific hosts).

Minimize the number of dependencies. Systems that make it hard to add dependencies have the virtue of thinking harder about whether you want to add them. Having a few central libraries that do exactly what you need is better than drawing in the kitchen sink.

It is often easier to write a specific function that does precisely what you need than people think.

That is easier to change, and easier to maintain in the long run, than ingesting a huge library with its dependencies that do things you will probably never need.
There is definitely space for unbundling reddit. The key is, you have to give something of value to that specific community to lure them over. Solely copying a subreddit won't do

No, the hash rocket still exists. However, if you use symbols as keys, you can replace ":foo => bar" with "foo: bar". Many people, of course, use hashes with symbols as keys, but whenever you don't, you still need to use the hashrocket syntax.

A bit of both. My computer does not have the "service" command at all. While it's true that many systems still do, it's typically there as a legacy compatibility layer, to translate SysV style commands to systemd.

So while the command might work for many readers, I don't think it's a good idea to send beginners that way, and its inclusion (without any footnotes or other qualifications) suggests that the author's knowledge is out of date.
