With any online community the group who consumes is far larger than the group who contributes, and I suspect with Reddit the people who are looking for community (especially those participating in mostly text-based subs) are few and far between compared to the huge number of users who browse big subs / the front page casually for memes, entertainment news, and cat pics.

The things which drive me nuts about the redesign are mostly things that drive me nuts because I comment far more than I post, and participate in a lot of discussion-heavy subs. Navigating comment trees is more difficult, lots more is hidden by default. Far fewer topics fit on a screen with the card-style layout that has huge previews. The old layout is information-dense, readable with minimal clicking to expand things, and fast.

But those are exactly the kind of changes that someone just browsing would be indifferent to, or even appreciate. The images/videos they're scrolling through are now big, front, and center. Many probably don't ever venture into the comments to begin with, of if they do, they're just seeing if the top comment is a good joke or not.

Wildly different use cases.

On a strongly related note, are there any studies on outdoor transmission that are highly credible?

I've long assumed that indoor dining is likely a transmission vector, but since LA recently banned outdoor dining, I'm curious about any studies on that.

What I've been told is that LA did this with little scientific justification, and that outdoor transmission is rare. However, wondering what people on here more knowledgeable on the subject have found as far as peer reviewed research.

He sold the company to them in 2005. If he didn't think that was a fair price he wouldn't have agreed to the sale. That was when he was compensated for his creation. After that, he was compensated through salary.

I don't understand your point of view here. If I sell something to someone else, I'm not expecting to get more payout for it fifteen years down the line unless some kind of residual was explicitly negotiated in the original sale agreement. Acquisitions would never happen at all if the acquiring company was on the hook for unbounded amounts of money decades later just because they made it successful. This point of view seems very un-businesslike. Andy Rubin was not owed that $90M, it shouldn't have been paid to him, and Google has admitted to its mistake and will not be paying out in similar cases going forward.
Yep. And legislation like this is about giving more people power in their employment. The more that employee flexibility and autonomy is encoded in law, the more it will be reflected in the real world.

How much of this do you think is due to the redesign itself versus bad FE engineering decisions? Redesign aside, I find the new reddit often really broken from a FE architecture POV.

Facebook, for instance, has some similar design patterns, but generally the interface seems really well built. New reddit just breaks in all kinds of odd ways which kills the UX.
r/science absolutely sickens me now. I hate how its now just cherry picking, p-hacking, statistics skewing data to fit some narrative that a persons political affiliation results them in being some "measurable" % worse than the opposite party.
I think the Forbes story is well-done and important, but I also don’t blame HNers for flag-killing that comment. Not because it was disrespectful and/or “too soon”. But because it was essentially a “just trust me” assertion by an anonymous user, who also admitted they heard this second-hand. Without additional context, the only basis for accepting the assertion is faith that anon-HN users wouldn’t be so malicious.

Contrast the exzappos comment with its top (grandchild) reply - which asserted firsthand knowledge and provided context with references to past public reports: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25236958

(it obviously helps that the replier is non-anonymous, but I’m not criticizing u/exzappos for being anonymous)

One benefit is when combined with Turbolinks there is a need to bootstrap the Vue/React component. The Stimulus controllers respond to mutation observers and always work.

If a new HTML element is added to the DOM and has a controller, it just works and is now active. This might not be the case with React or Vue, as you'd have to then bootstrap the component.

This makes Stimulus a really good combo when used with Turbolinks or partial Javascript responses.
That's the rub. Yes it wasn't a streamline design, but rather the result of a series of upgrades over the decades, but it was still producing important and meaningful science.

A full refit of Arecibo (obviously while it was still in one piece of course) would have likely been much cheaper than building an entirely new telescope.

Mohammed AlQuraishi elaborated on this in his 2018 "What Just Happened?" blog post that was discussed on HN when the news was announced. [1]

It's a fairly long read, but he goes into a lot more detail as to why the problem isn't yet solved. Interestingly, he also notes that pharma and academia should feel some embarrassment from DeepMind's achievement:

"What is worse than academic groups getting scooped by DeepMind? The fact that the collective powers of Novartis, Pfizer, etc, with their hundreds of thousands (~million?) of employees, let an industrial lab that is a complete outsider to the field, with virtually no prior molecular sciences experience, come in and thoroughly beat them on a problem that is, quite frankly, of far greater importance to pharmaceuticals than it is to Alphabet. It is an indictment of the laughable “basic research” groups of these companies, which pay lip service to fundamental science but focus myopically on target-driven research that they managed to so badly embarrass themselves in this episode."

You're aware that the original assumption of 1000 lottery draws per day was a guess from thin air with no research nor basis in fact? You're aware that mrb's calculations overstated the number of possible conforming sequences and undercounted the total number of potential outcomes? If you acknowledge that you're aware of all of this and still want to proceed, let's do it, no joke, I'm 100% in.

Totally agree. In one of our projects (around 200K Python LoC) we had 90% CodCov, but we frequently found some bugs.

Recently we started to heavily use mutation testing and fuzzing to find edge cases on parts of the code that were already "covered" according to the CodCov report. It was definitely worth it.

I highly recommend investing in mutation and fuzzy testing.

I read the article, but I couldn't find the part where they unveiled the secret to quieter small drones.

It looks like they're improving the fidelity of computational models for acoustics, which is an important step.

But that doesn't imply that any change to the design of the drones has actually been identified yet, even if that's what these models will be used to do.

What makes you think our discourse is better? We have plenty of low-quality comments (see this one for an example) and nearly every thread goes off-topic (like what we're discussing now).
Maybe? The concept is called "retrocausality", though I find the name itself to be poorly chosen, since without a single direction of time there isn't really a "before" to be retrocausal towards.

It was definitely was the case when I was growing up that the younger siblings were better, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's faded now that there are more things to do. When I was a kid playing sports in the immediate neighborhood (thus with siblings included vs wider area where you could just rely on friends) seemed so much more fun than other alternatives, but now with games being more and more fancy and addictive I don't think that would still be the case.

This is usually explicitly prohibited.

If it's not prohibited for some reason, e.g. because the term of the prohibition, such as copyright, has expired, why not.
I think we're in agreement, to a degree. There are some types of asshole that the industry has agreed to not tolerate. Then they say "See? We don't tolerate any kinds of assholes! You have to partner well and communicate well with people now!" Even though they absolutely do still tolerate certain kinds of assholes, like the kind you mean, and, to a degree, people who wield popular ideas like a cudgel.

I feel like the industry has at least made big leaps forward. Went I joined (during the great recession) it felt way worse, but I've also found a great company, so maybe I'm insulated in a kind bubble.
I have no idea how much of Intel's profit can be attributed to Apple, but Apple definitely buys more higher end laptop CPUs from Intel than anyone else. That's going to hurt their bottom line.

I also expect Apple will be picking up some market share. How much remains to be seen. If price/ performance was your primary reason for avoiding Apple, it's gotten a lot harder to resist switching.
I'm a strident adherent to having 100% code coverage, but this mostly works because my history in infrastructure and a desire to sleep well. The key idea that I have found that if you can't synthetically get your process into a specific state, then life is going to be hard.

The problem with a lot of people is that they view testing as a burden rather than a criticism of the code they are testing. If you can't test your code easily, then your code is awful. End of story.

I don't want any non-alphanumeric characters in my identifiers. It visually breaks up identifiers in misleading ways and doesn't always play nice with double-clicking. So I could have gone with a Base62 implementation over a Base58 one, but the latter is more common, and even still, it can be useful to reduce visual confusion because people (at least developers) will be looking at these identifiers, even if they're not typing them in.

In my case, it's not so much saving days or weeks of my time. Rather, it's being able to answer someone's quick question, direct them to someone, take a quick look at a doc and say it looks OK (or make a quick edit), etc. I don't feel it's something I have to do--and I'll only rarely do something that requires more effort--but it often seems like a pretty good cost/benefit tradeoff.
Painstaking experimental ascertainment of protein structure doesn't really tell anyone "why" it ended up that way either, but it's still been worth doing and advances science a great deal.

There is a big difference here between strongly typed, compiled languages and weakly typed interpreted languages.

High code coverage is much more important on e.g. Javascript or Python because running the code is the only way you know that it "compiles" and you didn't do something dumb like mistake the type of arguments, access fields that don't exist, etc.

In a compiled codebase, I think functional / end-to-end tests are more important. I don't care as much if every single function is exercised by unit tests if I know that the software works as intended for all supported use cases.

Well you can thank some really well organize political action committees for that. Once reddit gained so much popularity it pretty much was co opted. Its not difficult to mount an organized attack on a particular subreddit including brigading from both directions; this includes reporting en mass

Think of it like talking points. You get your daily site and subject list and with reddit it means voting on specific postings.

> Most companies try to extract the most value from their employees and this may mean overloading them

Exactly this. If managers notice that your team is doing everything on time, they will remove a member or two from your team, until you can barely meet the deadlines. Then they get a bonus for reducing the company costs.

It requires some experience to realize that it is not your fault if the deadlines are in danger. That is system working exactly as intended. But of course the company will pretend it's your fault. That is also system working exactly as intended. (In USA, this results in you doing a lot of overtime. That is also system working as intended. The urgent situation is not something unexpected; it happens every year in every project, it is a part of the plan.)

The protein folding problem isn't part of the body- it's a reduction in which the protein is folded in regular water solvent with no other components.

I'm not sure what you mean by "DNA sequencing is done by sampling then predicting the rest". DNA sequencing works by oversampling and then making a "call" about the specific base in a position given the evidence. Regions without data are described as N with estimated length M, rather than a "prediction".

The programming in your free time comes up all the time because people, like the OP, see it as a signal. If you do it, you're good. If you don't, you're bad.

And specific to your point - "do you code in your free time" as an interview question - if it didn't provide you with signal that you thought was useful in determining the quality of a candidate, you wouldn't ask it. So, why are you (interviewers in general) asking it?

> ... and pretty much keep everything that has even the slightest of notability.

Wikipedia keeps deleting plenty of pages. There's a lot of self promo, a lot of pages about not sufficiently notable topics etc. You could think that e.g. mayor of your local 5K town will have "slightest notability". Well if that's their only claim to fame, then their nice Wikipedia page is going to be deleted.

> And I have no issue with it. I see this as one of the (big) advantage of Wikipedia over traditional encyclopedia.

Wikipedia is not limited by the physical constraints, but other limits are still present - e.g. the ability to check the validity of claims of the original article and subsequent edits is limited by the available manpower.
I was thinking about the browser+daemon approach for an application that I maintain, and would also be very interested if someone has done it and has feedback to give.

The maintainers are very paranoid about adding complexity, and are not being funded by large corporations paying for features to get added.
This is completely fine, have a separate test set for these not in the deploy pipeline which is about preventing regressions not finding bugs that were previously missed.
"You want to know what this was really all about?

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

- John Ehrlichman, Richard Nixon's aide on domestic affairs:
As with so many other code quality metrics and tools, automated testing (and by extension code coverage) is not necessarily about the number but about discovery.

If you are finding out that certain parts of your software are hard to test or will never be reached by any of your tests, that should tell you something about your architecture.
I find that I can fit basically as much text as I want on a 1080p laptop display without losing legibility. It's all about using the right font, e.g. https://proggyfonts.net/. Obviously pixellated fonts don't look as good, but it changes from a functional to an aesthetic concern.
Wow! That used to not be the case. I can't find anything about the change but it used to include a check for local(font-face) in the sources.
