The person was an 18 years old intern. Its your job to teach them, not let them do all this and then complain publicly about it. Internship is not cheap labor; it's a mutual relationship where you help train the next generation because either you are nice or because you realize that if you don't do it there will not be a pool of experienced applicants to choose from. Ask "what can I do for this intern" - if they do something for you as well, great! If not, it's still okay.

And, no, you don't own my life, and there is more to it than arranging bits so you can get rich off my labor. There is no need to structure jobs such that our lives and relationships are destroyed.
Opal: Create a Code of Conduct
The thing is the people that are upset and claiming this is the end of reddit are actually the ones that are disconnected from what most users want as evidenced by the fact that almost no one but a small vocal minority in a few places on reddit care anymore and when they try to get support in more popular/general focus subreddits they are almost unanimously being downvoted or disagreed with.

Yeah that is pretty surprising actually. If I had shares in that company I would be pretty pissed they turned down a potentially big client.
I've never seen a case of harassment from FPH. But coontown, they freaking invade.

The amount of people banned for 'didndunothin' comments is unbelievable.
Hi! Mike Bernstein from Code Climate here. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has about this announcement!
Given voat's new community that content will be everything from the more "friendly" organizing harrassment and doxxing people to child pornography.

Nobody in his right mind is ever going to knowingly host them for long.
Could you cite any of these bits of reused Anathem dialogue? I've read Anathem countless times, and didn't notice anything other than "plane-change maneuvers are expensive" or something to that effect, which I think is more of a truism than reused dialogue.
Freedom to assemble doesn't guarantee access to private venues. Contrary to intuition, all spaces on the Internet are private spaces.
> I just don't agree with shadowbanning people and removing -distasteful- subreddits. I just don't visit them.

Please don't misrepresent what happened.

FPH has been bullying, harassing, and abusing individuals for almost a year. Pictures of people out in public, Facebook profiles, other Redditors, the Imgur staff, brigading other subs (inc. weight loss subs), attacking popular bloggers, YouTubers, and people on Twitter. Often this was just for the "crime" of being overweight and the abuse was nasty.

I'm tired of people defending this behaviour as being "distasteful" or "offensive." Even the title of Reddit's announcement was "removing HARASSING subreddits." And if you don't believe that's what FPH was doing then you literally didn't spend even one minute on it.

Key Reddit staff quotes:

> subreddit as a platform to harass individuals

> We’re banning behavior, not ideas.

> based on their harassment of individuals

> When we are using the word "harass", we're not talking about "being annoying" or vote manipulation or anything. We're talking about men and women whose lives are being affected and worry for their safety every day, because people from a certain community on reddit have decided to actually threaten them, online and off, every day. When you've had to talk to as many victims of it as we have, you'd understand that a brigade from one subreddit to another is miles away from the harassment we don't want being generated on our site.

If this is what you support, please leave Reddit. I welcome you gone.
I'm just getting into Neal's work. I saw Snow Crash on a list of best sci-fi (maybe via HN) and started there. I then read Diamond Age and just finished Cryptonomicon (which I really liked—probably my favorite of the three).

I started reading Anathem, which I know is seen as his "seminal work" but it's been a slow start for me: all the made-up vocabulary combined with strange names makes it a very disjointed reading experience.

I read the first chapter of Seveneves back in May, so that one is on the list, as is The Baroque Cycle.
Social media blamed for rising divorce rates
> What's the logical conclusion of that?

Private companies should serve their shareholders. They should draft a policy saying that they don't get involved in content moderation issues as a matter of policy. That's good business and good for speech. If disgruntled people want to do something about it, they can take it up with the legal system.

> Is it good business? Or is it better business to have a clear policy over what is and is not allowed, and then enforce that?

It is not possible to have a clear policy when moderating content because the world is a diverse place with diverse opinions. Where would you begin? Are Muhammad cartoons banned?
FPH was posting photos of imgur's staff and sending them hatemail, I belive.
Totally agree. Whoever made that decision proved that they are absolutely not the right person or persons to be at the helm of reddit.

Not only that, apart from the decision, the way that it was implemented was so tone-deaf and juvenile that it went beyond mere incompetence.

For example, take a look at the announcement where they tried to outline the rationale for the decision and their methods. When they were bombarded with polite and sharp questions about their hypocrisy they avoided any response.
17-20 depending on the colors. A lot of them were immediate but the dark blue/purples were difficult.

Was it just me or were all of them lighter?
Were there any where the color was darker than the rest?

Just curious if that makes it more/less difficult or has any effect.

Squinting did help occasionally. As well as going with your gut usually. Fun way to spend a few minutes.

Edit:
Sadly I couldn't score less than 1 since clicking the wrong color doesn't start it.
It's very unfortunate and reminds me of http://paulgraham.com/say.html
Really like the suggestion to create the use cases in pseudocode first. I think this goes hand-in-hand with the docs-first approach -- writing an API Blueprint or Postman format that can be used to mock an API before actual implementation. This has helped my team in the past.

Great article, I'll be adding in these tips as I write out my next API in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately, things are looking very grim for average Joe in Russia. The oil party, and the easy gains that came with it, are over.

"The number of middle-class Russians could halve to 20 percent, taking it back to the same level as after the 1998 default and devaluation, says Evgeny Gontmakher, chief economist at the Institute of Contemporary Development, whose board of trustees is headed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev."

I know what you mean and I agree. I still think it sounds awkward.
Interesting move and really good news! I'm glad new engines are already being added, particularly Rubocop and Bundler Audit. In the end, I'm confident this will have an important and positive impact on more developers, their skills and their codebases.

Good job :)
Not understanding the hate for the title. It's just the author trying to be ironic and clever. Not everything has to be taken literally.
Regardless of how the hosting provider feels about the content they're hosting, it's very unprofessional to terminate a contract so absolutely with no warning. They could have easily given the site a few days, if not weeks, to migrate to another service, but they instead chose to immediately kill not just the hosts of voat.co but all of the hosts under the account, which included an entirely unrelated blog with scientific papers.

I find it scary that so many commenters find this to be a natural course of action for a hosting provider to take. A hosting provider caring about what I host, other than whether or not it's legal, is just as absurd as my ISP caring about what packets I send (once again, other than the legality of them). While a hosting provider's role isn't nearly as "utility" as an ISP, it's certainly close and I would be appalled if the majority of hosting providers actually took stances like this. A minority is to be expected, no different than a book publisher only publishing Christian books, but if the average book publisher was expected to publish only Christian books, I would be quite frightened.
Why Successful People Focus on the Bottom End of the Funnel
Yes, this is intentional. I found it easier to be able to move users that blocked my view. They pop back into place after they write again.

Maybe I'll change it after I'll make messages dissolve after some time.
Thanks, we run a few sites at work that might benefit from implementing this.
Consumers could also think it was certified by the Mayo Clinic and made of unicorns. This is approximately as likely.

Making the leap from what was written in the article to "IMAX certified" is a hilariously wide leap. It's about two orders of magnitude too wide to justify the threat letter from IMAX.
One of the people that was mentioned a lot on the subreddit was boogie2988, he shares his thoughts on the matter here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBmScggN-dc
>Both parties are guilty here. Ars should put at the bottom of its article "IMAX is a trademark of <whatever the entity that owns it>" which acknowledges the IMAX trademark.

No, this is absolute bunk. There is no reason for this. At least in the US this is protected by Nominative Use, which guarantees that "a person may use the trademark of another as a reference to describe the other product, or to compare it to their own."

Further: "Nominative use does not require that ownership of the trademark be acknowledged, for example by use of a sentence such as "UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group"."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use
I am finding that less needs to be done in .xml. Instead, you can use heavily annotated classes or annotated config classes.

But, that's still awful. First, why give three different ways of doing the same thing? Provide one clean way and teach it. Is the other stuff just legacy baggage? If so, at least clean up your docs.

And, that's part of the point, right? If you have this unnecessarily large learning curve because of all this unnecessary framework cruft, then it speaks to the quality of the framework, as well as the ease of development and maintainability of the apps that use it.

Secondly, I know some people think annotations are the path to everything, but they really can be abused. At some point, you are sacrificing coherence and just introducing a lot of functionality that is not expressed through code.

And this doesn't get into the hidden gems like, "use this automagical feature and it quietly disables that other needed automagical feature". And, "add this thing that will be needed by 99% of Webapps to your config, or it won't work." Really? Then why not make it the default?

Maybe you've been using Spring for a while, so it's awfulness is no longer a big deal to you. You have adapted to it. Heck, I did the same with Struts years ago. But, I would bet that if you were starting today or if you were given a chance to work with a cleaner framework, your first thought about Spring would be "are you kidding me?"
The game website offers a link to buy the game via Desura - I would urge caution on buying via them as the company who owns them recently filed for bankruptcy [1]. It's unclear what will happen to the site, but it's not worth the risk when you can get it via steam!

There is no such thing as "free speech". There is only free speech or censorship and there is no such thing as hiding behind free speech.

The company behind is not obligated to host it, but that is not relevant for your comment.
Nacha file
Hey guys, we're trying to get a little educated on Nacha files (how to create/submit them). Any intros to someone who could help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't want to put words in his mouth, but you can certainly argue that hosting companies shouldn't censor or moderate their customers without rising to the level of a legal requirement.
You should not lump /r/kotakuinaction and /r/conspiracy in the same category as /r/fatpeoplehate. They aren't even mildly offensive - the only relationship here is that they tend to be zealous about freedom of speech, and therefore angry about the removal of /r/fatpeoplehate.

I would classify them strongly as "political speech", which /r/fatpeoplehate was not.
They aren't the worst. They do say some pretty anti-semitic things at times however from what I've seen (some of them think the world is controlled by a Jewish conspiracy or some such).
"Plane change maneuvers are expensive" is the one I remember off the top of my head, but I do distinctly recall another line elsewhere in the book. Sorry I can't be more specific.
That one may be (I think this is the later 2004 paper by one of the same authors), but Moman definitely is an implementation of the algorithm they did (it turns out they mention this in a different blog post).
In the bay area over the last 5 years? Sure.

Across much of the US? Probably not. Don't forget the average cost of selling a house is 6%. Buy a place for $500K and if the value of the house doesn't go up by at least 6% you've lost money.

That doesn't include all the other costs associated with buying a new house (moving costs, etc).
On the other hand, it is hard to believe you can rent a
200k€ place for 500€/m. In Warsaw, a 2-room 40-50 m²
apartment in the city center costs about 400-500€/m to
rent, but if you wanted to buy it, offer prices start
below 100k€.

Believe it! Or look at http://www.immobilienscout24.de/ for Berlin (in the combo box right of the search field "kaufen" means buy and "mieten" means rent - pick the first option in both).

There are places that are unusual (like Mitte - the center of the city), but for ~90%+ of Berlin the pattern I described above more or less holds.
Bridging Gunnar Gaps to create virtual circles
The motivation for deleting r/fatpeoplehate was because the admins asserted there were clear and identifiable patterns and instances of person-to-person harassment.

Honestly, I think that's just the excuse they used to pull the trigger on removing a popular but undesirable subreddit from the site. They claim it was about "behavior not content" but immediately banned any subreddits that popped up to replace /r/fatpeoplehate.

They should have just been up front about the reasons for the ban "It was a highly visible subreddit with content we don't agree with."

...if that were their intention, they would've wiped out the many other subreddits that have much more controversial content and fewer subscribers

The difference is that /r/fatpeoplehate was growing fast and regularly appearing on /r/all.
> The point of rebasing for clarity, IMHO, is to take what might be a large, unorganized commit or commits (i.e. the result of a few hours good hacking) and turning it into a coherent story of how that feature is implemented. This means splitting it into commits (which change one thing), giving them good commit messages (describing the one thing and its effects), and putting them in the right order.

To my understanding, Gerrit does grouped commits as part of the flow. Even better, groups all review-triggered commits under the same master commit, with the nice, extensive description that one carved for the PR. It's regrettable that GitHub popularized fork/pull request model instead.

Speaking of vision, if my finger gets slightly blurry when it's less than three inches from my face, does that mean I need glasses?
Ultimately, the problem is that most people in the world are bilingual.

Many Europeans are bilingual in two or more national languages, especially English. Most Indians are bilingual in a regional language and English and/or Hindi. Most Chinese people are bilingual in Mandarin and one or more regional Chinese dialects (which would be "languages" if they had an army and a navy).

English especially suffers from this misrepresentation, since so many use it as an interlanguage, and Mandarin benefits because so many people use it in school and official contexts.

But trying to visualize languages by speaker count without accounting for language boundaries and multilingualism makes for something that's more a misrepresentation than a representation.
That's right, but Rick Ross the rapper derived his name from Freeway Rick Ross: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/freeway-ricky-ross-...

It's not just a coincidence.
A traditional alternative to considered-harmful titles is titles of the form "Why X is not my favorite thing-that-X-is". The classic example is Brian Kernighan's article "Why Pascal is not my favorite programming language", but it works for just about anything. "Why git flow is not my favorite versioning method" works fine. "Why considered-harmful essays are not my favorite method of critique" is less cute, but quite polite. "Why goto is not my favorite control-flow construct" might be pushing it, though.
Always host stuff that's "problematic" opposite from where it's problematic.

For example at least one European far-right site is hosted in the US.

You can host US critical stuff in the US, but if you start to attract a lot of traffic and active individuals, move out of the US. (Russia?)

> As things get smaller a greater PPI is needed to render the same level of detail.

It really doesn't work that way. If your VR display is too low-resolution to convincingly render a virtual display 15 feet away, then it's too low-resolution to convincingly render the virtual display 15 inches away. Your physical display has the same resolution regardless of where the virtual screen is, and if it lacks sufficient resolution to render an object convincingly, it just cannot do it regardless of how distantly the object is rendered. To put it another way, your display has the ability to render a certain amount of detail, full stop. Where a virtual object is rendered is irrelevant.

Try this. Sit close to your monitor, close enough that text isn't crisp enough. Now zoom your display (Ctrl+'+' in most browsers), which is equivalent to bringing a virtual display closer. Note that the text still isn't crisp. If you could see the pixelation before, you can still see it. Moving the virtual display closer does nothing, because you aren't adding more resolution to the physical display.
Hah. In that thread they have a comment near the top complaining about "censorship and outrage culture", and then on their home page they have a popular thread recommending that they all contact hosteurope.de's customers (https://voat.co/v/whatever/comments/146949).
Its people that disagree with the current fad of "politically correctness."

Given that the subs which were removed were not removed for offensive speech but rather for encouraging and tolerating criminal harassment off-site, these "people" are either extremely misinformed or are using free speech/political correctness as red herrings to conceal their desire to harass and abuse.
I am sad to hear that Desura filed bankruptcy! I try to buy from GOG.com, gamersgate.com or humblebundle.com just so there is some competition in the marketplace.
We use a more extreme version of rebasing feature branches before merging into master: we squash the features into a single commit when merging to master. The reason is that we don't care about the (sometimes hundreds of) commits that made up a feature. What matters is that it works as designed and passes tests. If we merge a feature to master and then need to revert it, we will revert the whole feature.

This also allows us to keep merging master into feature branches, (where there is only a single commit that might need to be manually merged) instead of rebasing feature branches on master (in which case it can be necessary to manually merge multiple intermediate commits).

What cleared up git merge --squash for me was a comment showing that:

git checkout master
git merge --squash feature

is the equivalent of doing:

git checkout feature
git diff master > feature.patch
git checkout master
patch -p1 < feature.patch
git add .
Funny, there are some movie theaters using a MAXX brand for a large format screen, but I don't know if there has been legal action against them.
> Vote with your wallet

Usually doesn't do shit. The people voting, just like the people who are disgruntled, are usually a small minority. They have no material impact on anything other than the propaganda value of their actions.
I'd add that it matters which model you get - the HR and the Surge are the only ones worth looking at IMHO, as they monitor heart rate while the others don't.

Seeing the data from my workouts and activity, even if not 100% accurate, helps me quantify the work I put in and the results I get. Removing some of the abstraction and seeing the numbers makes the hard work more rewarding.
Care to back that up with numbers?

I switched and don't frequent any of those.

Seems like you have personal beef with voat? Just stop spreading misinformation, or back it up with numbers please.
Thanks, Kevin! We are super excited about this, and really appreciate your feedback.
False dichotomy. Try again.

Snow Crash is much lighter fare, and my usual suggestion for people who want to try Neil Stephenson. Though with the audience here, Cryptonomicon is probably a good bet.
Regarding the 3D experience, Real3D's circular polarization is significantly better than IMAX's more traditional polarization filters. The large screen format serves well for immersion, but the employed 3D tech detracts from the overall experience so much that I'd rather watch the smaller format screens.
Ice cube lyrics from song "Black Korea". Arent you going to rally against this too?

Every time I want to go get a fucking brew
I gotta go down to the store with the two
Oriental one-penny-counting motherfuckers;
They make a nigger mad enough to cause a little ruckus.
Thinking every brother in the world’s out to take,
So they watch every damn move that I make.
They hope I don’t pull out a Gat, try to rob
Their funky little store but, bitch, I got a job.

So don’t follow me up and down your market
Or your little chop suey ass will be a target
Of a nationwide boycott.
Juice with the people, that’s what the boy got.
So pay respect to the black fist
Or we’ll burn your store right down to a crisp.
And then we’ll see ya…
‘Cause you can’t turn the ghetto into black Korea.
I was talking about the technology for the specific project I worked on. Not in general. The RF hardware had underwent significant development and refinement to the point that it's problems were worked out and the limitations were known.

There is of course no magic wand (yet) that gives you a broadband transceiver with good performance over 1 mhz - 100 ghz. The WIN-T program always aimed to deliver a variety of different radios into the hands of the soldier so they'll have some degree of comms in all opertional scenarios. They just don't want to have soldiers dealing with 10 different radios when 3 or 4 will work.
