Don't give up. It is the power of competition. First of all if someone is building the same it gives you some validation that your idea might be worth it. Second of all, there will always be a lot of people that look like they are working on the same thing, but the might not.

Do your analysis of the market, and iterate based on customer feedback. Your idea might seem similar, but it might be completely different. The race is not to build your idea, the race is to find out if the idea is worth it or not.
Sorry, it has been fixed now.
Unfortunately as is always the case with every popular social network/forum in the history of the internet when the "slimy runoff" says they are leaving what they actually mean is they are going to spend all day on in the same place talking above leaving and how shit the current site now is.

Reddit would be a much nicer place if everyone who threatened to leave over last weeks bans actually left.
It would mean they didn't do even the most basic research though, as Germany isn't the first place you would look - it's reasonably common knowledge about their ideas of free speech and how certain subjects are really touchy
>Russia is more free than US in anarchical sense, as you can do more things without repercussions there than in US.

That is very questionable. Try being gay in Russia and then tell me how free you are. It wont be the government oppressing you usually (oh they will - see Pussy Riot) it'll be your neighbors, employers, cops, etc. There are other "oppressors" than rule of law, there's also mob mentalities.

Russia is also very low on any human/political freedom index. Yeah, and bragging about shitty wildlife conservationism isn't impressive either. Reminds me of the Chinese who are patriotic, then don a mask to not breath in the filthy polluted air they live with.
NSA always sponsored information assurance work due to their Information Assurance Directorate's mission to protect COMSEC of military and defense contractors. They helped invent the INFOSEC field in an attempt to secure military machines. Military organizations and NSA sponsored many projects to demonstrate clean-slate secure systems (eg Aesec's GEMSOS), improve existing ones (eg Trusted OS's), and protect specific types of applications (eg SeaView RDBMS). The Bell paper above and Shaefer paper below trace it all the best.

Anyway, the market went with insecure everything for price, performance, and backward compatibility. DOD/NSA even started buying insecure stuff for similar reasons. NSA's export restrictions and focus on military-like standards made most of the vendors go belly up or cancel future work. Now, only Boeing SNS Server, BAE XTS-400, and Aesec's GEMSOS remain from that time along with the "Trusted" OS's that weren't secure to begin with. SELinux, DTW, High Assurance Platform (not high assurance), and so on are their latest trend of putting good security "features" into COTS technology without the "assurance" that they're built securely. Even before Snowden leaks, I called out their INFOSEC people for doing more for the enemy than our security pushing garbage like that.

Today, I wonder if they did it on purpose. Regardless, their stuff can't be trusted without thorough review because of so much incompetence. The best work (eg CheriBSD) is coming out of DARPA, NSF, and other projects. So we don't need NSA anyway. :)
Google sets up feedback loop in neural network – creating extraordinary images
It's actually a lot more like The Martian than you might think. Most of the book is about how hard it is to live in space.
It has nothing to do with "pulling back" the screen. If the physical display resolution is not high enough, the virtual screen will look terrible regardless of how "close" it is. Even if you were trying to show the pixels on the virtual screen by rendering it very "close", it would still look terrible, because the physical pixels would have insufficient resolution to render the virtual pixels uniquely and clearly.
They didn't keep to themselves like, say, /r/coontown.
From the little I understand, they were harassing people, and then comparing their subreddit to talking behind someone's back. Unpleasant enough, and conveniently ignoring the hate overflowing elsewhere.
Why would I get downvoted for that? It's a serious concern. It's missing modern and often important features unless you use unofficial patchsets, and some missing entirely (NSEC3). And then there are all the forks like dbndns from Debian, N-DJBDNS, etc...
If you know Spanish, you will understand written Portuguese and Italian quite well, so you get those as a free bonus.
On the other hand, Chinese with Mandarin and it's many dialects (Cantonese, Shanghainese etc..) is a whole new game.. with a bonus that they all use the same written language.
Multiple things are happening in parallel here. On Emscripten's side, we're going to add a feature which translates Emscripten's asm.js output into WebAssembly, so that existing Emscripten users can easily use WebAssembly. This will indeed be a fairly simple step. [0]

The new WebAssembly backend is being developed in upstream LLVM from the beginning, and will be targetting WebAssembly directly rather than going through asm.js, so it will eventually have several advantages. And when it's ready, Emscripten itself will make use of it (though that won't be the only way it can be used) [1].

Really? Would you rally behind an Ice Cube CD being banned over racist lyrical content?
There's already ASICs for Lua and other to-simplistic-bytecode out there for low power applications (If I recall correctly anyway with tessel.)

What's to say when these things are settled, we are left with something that handles asynchrony well and it becomes the basis for IoT?
FWIW, I've spent far more time thinking about svn than I ever spent thinking about git.

Specifically, porting changes between multiple branches in svn was a nightmare. E.g. if you have three different branches (two releases and a develop), and you need to make the same bugfix on all of them - extremely unpleasant. I ended up writing my own diff/patch management system to keep track of bug fix patches, so that I could reapply them at will on other branches.

Git instantly made sense to me. It incorporated how I already thought about repositories and diffs. The DAG structure made sense. Merging made sense; rebasing made sense; everything made sense, almost instantly.
You can try to build better than they are doing and see if you are able to do it otherwise try to find out if there's a way to help them building it.

Just about anyone can do it safely, with the exception of people with very specific health situations. Even very skinny people who need to but cannot gain weight seem to reverse that trend following a prolonged fast. The body is very smart in turning a prolonged fast into a series of corrective actions needed to maintain its own well being.

For two years prior to this fast I suffered from mild pain in my left knee which made it very difficult to get up from the floor or run for more than a few minutes. Two weeks into the fast, that knee began to hurt like crazy. By day 16 I was unable to bend it. But that was somewhat expected. Many peopl who undertake a prolonged fast report what is referred to as a "healing crisis"- when the body is in a state of self healing during which pre-existing symptoms flare up as the body works to get rid of them.

Who knows what I had in my knee. Gout, pre arthritis, some nasty build up of fluids... Either way, it's all gone. After 3 days of being unable to stand or even slightly bend that knee - it all disappeared. I woke up on day 19 and it was as if I had a new knee. All symptoms are gone since then and I have resumed my hiking and biking activities and am glad I let it heal itself.

And to answer your other question, at 5'9 I weighted 182 at the beginning of the fast and 147 on day 23. I wasn't terribly overweight, and now at my ideal weight.

And day 21 is far from being at the point of true starvation. That doesn't normally happen until at least day 45.
The motivation for deleting r/fatpeoplehate was because the admins asserted there were clear and identifiable patterns and instances of person-to-person harassment. Whatever you think about how moderation/censorship should be done...I don't think it's obvious that Reddit admins were trying to go the route of sanitization based merely on content...if that were their intention, they would've wiped out the many other subreddits that have much more controversial content and fewer subscribers (i.e. fewer people to raise a fuss about).

Ellen Pao is CEO of Reddit and has said she does not believe in "free speech" (when referring to the site) and plans to clean it up, which basically means, removing everything that isn't politically correct. FPH is the poster child to try and justify the censorship but it goes far wider.

- Posts about Ellen Pao's legal problems and rulings are repeatedly deleted

- Subbreddits have been removed from showing up in /r/all so that popular posts (often critical of Pao) are not seen by the wider community

- Brigading and betting are going wild on the side of the "politically correct" factions such as SRS, while reddits that don't do it are demonized.

It's pretty much a civil war as much as a civil war can happen on a discussion forum.
Ellen Pao, the new (interim) CEO of Reddit, Inc. is trying to make reddit into a "Safe Space", which seems to mean safe from ideas that might offend anyone. This is a big issue because reddit has historically been possibly one of the largest, most popular forums where free expression was allowed/encouraged, and they would generally try to protect their users and fight takedown requests.
Theory is epistemological and ethical healthcare for our society.Gayatri Spivak
My thoughts exactly. The way to change people's bigoted attitudes is to demonstrate that they're wrong, not to drive them into exile.
One more thing. I don't like the phrasing of being a jerk. Not everyone who is successful is a jerk. What more successful people have is a drive towards product and operations perfection that trumps everything else. The idea of excellence and the pursuit of it causes leaders to fire people, expect only the best results, and really throw any inefficiency in the trash. It sounds ruthless and it might be, but that is where this jerk persona lives.
"Free speech except for things I find distasteful" isn't free speech at all.
Your personal reasons for not using reddit don't have any impact on the fact that most of the people switching over were either from the /r/fatpeoplehate, /r/kotakuinaction, and /r/conspiracy crowd. You can have whatever personal BS with the CEO you want, but the fact is that voat's ex-reddit userbase is all from what is essentially the worst parts of reddit.
The specific claims from the myths which are testable are the kernels of truth of interest. In the Australian example those claims have been shown to be credible and are worthy of investigation despite being from an oral tradition. Claims from myths that can not be tested are of little scientific interest and do not merit effort.

Modern myths must also stand the same scrutiny which is why we should be careful but not alarmed or dismissive without testing.
This has always been true. It's why they have DOD-certified fabs in country to build plenty of stuff on. The A1 systems also anticipated interdiction by requiring trusted distribution (aka "trusted trucks"). Most of the subversion in the hardware market, though, is tricky ways to disguise what circuitry does for competitive advantage and avoiding patent fees. ;)

The posting was slimy(for example posting other reddit users progress shots to make fun of them is slimy). Harassment across subreddits by a lot of the users is what got them banned.

Tony Judt said it best: Under Salazar, "Portugal was largely dependent upon the export or re-export of primary commodities, including its own people." (Postwar, pg 511, https://books.google.com/books?id=xE1hBBF37kwC&pg=PA511&lpg=... )
Everyone should also compare monitors, browsers, and OS when saying what they got. First try: 31 / iMac 5K / Chrome. [edit: regarding browser, I don't know much about color profiling, but I do recall seeing an example of the same images being rendered in completely different colors across different browsers on the same OS. Can't find a link.]

It's not just the worst. Its people that disagree with the current fad of "politically correctness." There were very few people that were sad to see most of those subs go, but those subs weren't well known.

The FPH was a response to the silly "body positive" movement that has been encouraging non-healthy behaviors. (The execution wasn't popular, but the idea of it is well supported)

Additionally: Another big reason for the migration is that the ban came out of nowhere. There was no interaction with the Admins, and there has been a threat that has been expressed by Pao. ["We're going to make it safe" (for who and what political adgenda has scared the users quite a bit)]
Given that, it isn't wholly surprising that their hosting service wanted no part of them.

Which means, by their own judgment, since voat.co isn't "correct" they deserve no warning, no refund, and no negotiation in good faith - only termination. How can you say that isn't surprising?
That's an awfully deprecating comment about a basic and fundamental human right. How can you have freedom without it also empowering people you'd rather weren't empowered? Have we all lost the ability to be discerning? So now we need outside entities to curate what we see, to protect our delicate sensibilities? Sorry, not me. I vastly prefer the risk of running into distasteful crap.

Addendum: if it's true that there are vastly more male scientists than female scientists, then it seems extremely likely that more work has been stolen from male scientists than from female scientists (odds per individual are of course unaffected).

The same applies to promotions. For every story of a woman who was not promoted in IT, there are probably 20 untold stories of men who were not promoted in IT. Simply because much more men than women work in IT, and only few can be promoted.

I just question the whole approach of arguing with anecdotes.

I wonder what Russia would have done to him, had he been a Russian citizen leaking / revealing vast amounts of their classified information. Pretty obvious what would have happened, and it's also obvious why Russia gave him asylum.

There's a reason Snowden would leave Russia at the earliest possibility.

No you said:

"But the "further" away you project the virtual movie screen, the higher the resolution of the VR headset"

That is wrong, plain and simple. How far the movie screen appears in the VR headset has no impact whatsoever on pixelization and is purely a stereoscopic effect.
I think hate speech should be made illegal in America like it is in the rest of the civilized world.
Just a couple of clarifications.

Although the LLVM IR is mostly agnostic to the target, in practice, it's not quite that simple. However, the IR layer does make it substantially easier to move between languages and targets. It's just not free.

Also, my understanding is that WebAssembly isn't a JS thing. The intent is that a VM for the bytecode will be added to the browsers alongside the JS engine. In the short term they'll use the JS engine for it by converting WebAssembly to JS but that's just a band aid to get things moving. If successful, it could mean an eventual break of the tie between the browser and JS.

Interesting times....
On the "very-opinionated" point, I'm particularly fond of Alan Kay's quote:

Right. Vote with your wallet, I guess. Don't buy services from hosteurope.de.
I don't understand this bit about having no other choice but to rebase a branch against master. When I have a long-running branch that no longer cleanly merges into master, I merge master into the branch first. I've never seen a case where rebase is required.

I find your conclusion to be most confusing. You say that programmers want other people on their team to know what they did, and then you say that they accomplish this by constructing a fake story about stuff that never happened. Sounds like you mean that programmers want other people on their team to know what they wish they had done. Which is understandable, but not at all the same.
And the German government, like all governments, (although Germany's laws are slightly stricter than most western governments) puts limits on free speech. Reddit has a tendency to demonstrate Godwin's law pretty quickly. For example, it is common practice to upvote a post with a link to a Nazi flag and a headline about some hated group in attempt to get that to be the default image for Google searches of that group. I imagine with Voat being a Reddit clone, similar things have popped up on it. Something like that could run afoul of Germany's laws regarding how to portray Nazi history and iconography. I could imagine Voat's hosting provider wanted to wash their hands of the site before the government actually tries to come after them.
Everyone I know understands when I say Postgres. Maybe they should do a survey.
They should have handled the /r/fatpeoplehate problem by hiding them from /r/all. Then nobody will see the subreddit unless they directly go to it and/or subscribe to it.

What they actually did reeks of incompetence. The reaction they got from banning the subreddit was entirely predictable, and because of this, gives the impression that they're pretty far disconnected from their users. It doesn't bode well for the long-term success of the site.
In the book the initial assumption was that it was hit by a tiny primordial fast-moving black hole. They never really follow-up on it, being distracted by issues of survival.
I Signed the IoT Design Manifesto and So Should You
if you feel that way, then reddit is by far the larger community when it comes to bigots, racists and assholes than voat.co because they are the home to /r/GasTheKikes and /r/coontown and many many other reprehensible subreddits

even so, you are still wrong because free speech means exactly that, speech that you or I may not agree with.

if it were limited to speech that only some or the majority aligned with then it wouldn't be called 'free speech' would it?
Verizon does not make phones - it sells them. It was responsible for much of Android's early success in the US with it's multimillion dollar "Droid does" ad campaign to the extent that "Droid" was synonymous with "Android".
Sorta-kinda-not-really. The closest thing to an explanation in the public excerpt [1] goes like this:

The most generally accepted theory was that the puff of dust observed by the Utah astronomer was caused by an impact. That the Agent, in other words, came from outside the moon, pierced its surface, burrowed deep into its center, and then released its energy. Or that it simply kept on going out the other side, depositing enough energy en route to break up the moon. Another hypothesis stated that the Agent was a device buried in the moon by aliens during primordial times, set to detonate when certain conditions were met.

For the record, I would cheer those subreddits getting banned as well. Don't mistake my comments for a defense of reddit.

False dichotomy. Nobody is talking about forcing anybody to do this. At least not the OP, and I didn't read it that way.

Why are you committing code you haven't even tried to build? In the scenario you're presenting, the problem is that somebody even needed a "lol forgot semicolon" commit in the first place. Stop doing that. We all make mistakes and this will come up sometimes, but if it's happening so often that you need to rewrite your VCS history to stop from annoying other people, something is wrong.

Clive Robinson and I came up with the same solution to this problem: running same software on several different hardware with voting protocol. This is used in safety-critical market where you need redundancy. I modified the scheme so that different teams implemented the same spec in a compatible way on hardware that came from different countries. My model is mutually suspicious countries that work against each other too much to cooperate on a backdoor. Secrets might leak to any of them but integrity can at least be protected.

Far as plugging leaks, air gap strategies plus high assurance guards built on cheap boards they probably didn't backdoor. Especially old microcontrollers, UNIX servers, gaming systems with Linux ports, and so on. Keep using different stuff with simple, protected interfaces. They can't hit what they can't see.
