When I landed on the homepage, I wondered, "how much do they really solve the on-prem problem." With respect to that, I thought the video was informative, and the value prop was really clear. I'd be interesting in hearing more about what else Travis had to do to be able to support this integration from their side.

I think it's just a math artifact. There's lots of "holes" in the orbit inclinations -- their distribution is actually very non-uniform. But at a frozen moment in time, the object's latitude will be anywhere from -i to +i, so the latitude distribution is "smeared out" over the whole range. The gap in the polar inclinations is the only one that's not, so that's the latitude gap you see.

Here's a histogram of the orbit inclinations where you can see this:

>One of the mig issues people have with Ellen Pao..

Bullshit, that's just the newest thing they've loaded their blunderbusses with - and is less than days old. It isn't why they've been calling her a cunt and hitler, and asking for her to be fired or killed for months.
Congrats on the launch Dave and Mike! With ~30% of hotel revenue generated from meetings and events, this is a hugely important business for the hospitality industry.

How are you comparing your offering to a player like Cvent? Their supplier network allows event planners to search venues / have different hotels submit RFQs for free. It would also be great if you can share a little bit more on the customer demographics you are targeting as well as the type of hotel partners you are looking to onboard.

I agree SO has a problem with treatment of well-meaning new users. Could be improved. However, I will say that in spite of that, I have had some excellent experiences there. Sometimes I encounter a difficult issue that I simply cannot resolve on my own, and I want to ask people more expert than I how to resolve it. If I'm careful in how I write up the question then I find that over time I generally get useful answers. It's a great way of reaching others working in the same teeny-tiny niche that I am.

So there are problems, but still many good things happening there.
Has that solved the problem of f and g being asymptotically more expensive than addition and multiplication?
> Reddit has had several CEOs, which the typical user rarely knew by name.

I have to say that is wrong. Yishan Wong was the CEO before Ellen Pao. He posted on the site often, he made a bunch of announcements on the site as CEO. Users were well aware of who he was. Prior to that reddit was under CondeNast publications and whilst the CEO of conde nast may not have been well know the admins such as kn0thing, spex, jedberg etc were all well know active users on the site from its inception. There has always been communication between admins with the users through the site.

>The idea that the CEO of Reddit has anything to do with the average user's experience has come about very recently

Again this is wrong. In terms of CEOs Yishan Wong engaged users this when he joined. This was not something that has come about in the last 6 weeks as a result of r/fph being banned.

>The mishandling of IAmA seems to have been done by Alexei Ohanian, but he's not being photoshopped onto Hitler.

Again this is wrong. Ohanian (kn0thing) certainly got involved in the immediate aftermath. I presume because they thought it would be accepted more easily by users if he said it rather than Ellen Pao saying it. He made a faux pas at one point and took some flak for it, but he understands reddit and he had some serious goodwill in the bank so he leveraged that and things are looking peachy for him now. But there is no indication that he was to blame for the AMA mishandling at all, his role appears to be cleanup.
I think it's just a case of the loudest voices tend to be the most extreme voices. There are a lot of sensible gun owners out there, as there are a lot of people who only wish for better enforcement of gun control laws or better background checks.

As far as people who want to ban guns outright, there are certainly people who believe fervently in that, but I think a lot of those people don't necessarily think about the enormous financial and human cost of doing so. They look at a country like Japan and say, "See, if we ban guns like they did..." But ultimately if someone seeks to confiscate guns by force, they're advocating for violence because there are many, many people who would kill and die for the 2nd amendment. Most people don't see it that way, but in practice that is what it would come down to.

I agree that a lot of extreme pro-gun folks are opposed to any and all sorts of compromise. And you're right that there is a significant contingent "Earth is 5000 years old" people in there. But there are a lot of liberal gun owners, white-collar gun owners, and everything in between.

Either way the discourse is not helped by coming to the table with intentional falsehoods designed to scare people who don't know better. Whether it's 'Obama is trying to take over Texas' or 'Assault weapons are to blame for mass shootings'.
Right, I understand the result, and I'm endlessly fascinated that such a scheme exists, but there doesn't seem to be any simple high-level overview. Either you understand the scheme that's 1,000,000,000 times more complicated than multiplication or you're in the dark.

Edit: Also I'm wondering how secure the encryption really is.
I don't know if it maps perfectly to narcissism because there is a huge effort component that is not requisite to being a narcissist but is ever-present in the group I'm trying to describe.
I would still be mostly using a 3rd part application framework if I rewrote some bit of it that I found problems with. I wouldn't be rewriting the whole lot - that would take forever. So I'd be left with a 95% of the framework being written by the 3rd party and 5% written by my team.

That 95% would still need to interact with my new 5%, and as it was never designed to do that, it could easily introduce new unexpected behaviour. Imagine trying to rip out (for example) the indexing code out of a database because it's performing badly and then rewriting it.
Sorry -- our ops and engineering teams are looking into this and will update/resolve as quickly as possible.

I don't think he's a homophobe. In order to call him that you'd have to cast a very wide net. As for the anti-feminism [1] or misogyny, some of the same points he makes in more provocative tones are made by the like of Caitlyn Flanagan in the pages of The Atlantic.[2]

The article you link to seems kind of overkill at times. It links to his articles for evidence of racial slurs where it seems pretty obvious he's doing it intentionally since in one he mentions an uproar where Sarah Silverman called Chinese people Chinks ("People look really stupid shaking their fists at a clown"), however self-serving that may be.

But I think it can be said that his arguments are often repeat ad-nauseam versions of this scene from Rescue Me:

Respectful Time Management
Very useful article! I usually don't see projects aiming for both Node and browser support. But, as a module consumer, that is almost certainly what I would prefer. That is, ideally Javascript can run in the browser or in Node without any refactoring.

Emscripten has a lot of legacy code in shell.js that tries to detect the 'require' hook and assumes you're in Node if it's available. That usually isn't what you want in browserify. How did you deal with that?

It would be especially useful if we could use the same bindings for Node addons and Emscripten. I suppose a wrapper around nan.h could be made that exposes both node.h and embind.h?

Sorry for the late reply, but as far as I can figure "New" isn't about the tracks' newness, it's about you looking for "New" music to assign to "My Music".

"My Music" is for things you own or already access.
"For you" is for new things Apple thinks you might like based on your preferences.
"New" is for completely new things to add to your collection.

Police care about death threats. Really.

Now, if the harasser is 2 continents away, it's going to get circular filed. If the harasser is two continents away, though, you can just ignore the message.

However, if the harasser turns out to be in the same state or even the same county, the police will care a lot. And someone in the same state qualifies as an imminent threat. And has likely done it to other people.

I have thought about this quite a bit and I believe that this particular pairing, Nietzsche with Family Circus, is at least especially good (if not uniquely good).

For me, Family Circus was never really enjoyable. Somehow that makes Nietzsche Family Circus even better.

My guess is that if you start pairing things at random, you will on average going to get something much, much worse than this. An understanding of why this is true promises to elucidate the contemporary condition, I suspect.

I'm embarrassed by the first versions of all of my products. I'm NOT embarrassed by the current versions.

Yes, I shipped. Yes, it was shit. Yes, it got MUCH better after it got real-world use.
What a comment! You made a binary discussion from a nuanced one. The question is whether an attractive UI (which, surprise, matters to many people) is worth focusing developer effort. Several comments in this thread advocate that non-native UIs look tacky, and that it would do well for the product to have native rendering.

As an aside, it's the no. 1 reason I don't use Atom: An ugly, slow UI that doesn't render native elements.

So no, it's not indefensible. I think your conspirator's OP comment "As a non-OSX user, I don't care about your UX" is more vain.
Not sure what the problem is but your current fix is working :)
Top 5 Ways to Increase Your Website Traffic
Lately my number one bloody cause of downtime has been DNS lookup failures. I switched to Cloudflare hoping to avoid this. If I can't trust Cloudflare, then who the heck can I trust?

Also, is there any way to actually resolve this issue quickly while Cloudflare deals with their fuckup? I don't like being at the mercy of their support team while my site has literal downtime.

It's really not indefensible, and you're sort of minimising a valid viewpoint that I wish more developers took on board.

User experience is important. Dismissing that aspect as "animations [that] aren't as nice" misses an important point - things like animation, consistency with the host system, integration with platform features and so on are really very important to the quality of an app.

Technical capability is also important, obviously. It's why I use Firefox and when building web projects on the Mac - best feature set. But I use Safari instead for day-to-day browsing, because of things like better scrolling and zooming, and better integration with platform services.

I do think the way a product looks and works is important, and developers who dismiss that are why we have so many awful UIs out in public.

I feel like this sort of visualization really makes us realize how much space there is out there. There is SO MUCH debris just flying out there and yet we manage to avoid any of it with nearly every launch we've made.
It's not impossible, it's just hard. I covered the things you have to worry about a while ago in this article:

https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/floating-point-...

As long as you avoid unspecified instructions (reciprocal square-root estimate, fsin) and avoid library functions or code-gen that takes different paths when SSE2/AVX/whatever are available and as long as you run the same binary on every machine (compatibility between PowerPC and x86 is much harder) you can definitely do it. Many games have.

So, if you can restrict yourself to x86 CPUs it's manageable, at least for modest sized chunks of code.
>In this case, there was not sufficient information given to really understand what the majority consensus is. Additionally, just because something is the consensus, doesn't mean it is necessarily the best course of action individually. Facing condemnation is a consequence, not physical law. The initial response took no time to give an appropriate course of action, and drew on your subjective heated feelings attached to your interpretation of the consensus.

There is no need to do a scientific analysis to derive majority consensus. Intuition is enough to know what the majority thinks about stealing your best friends girlfriend. Whether or not the majority consensus is the "best" course of action for the individual is not what I addressed. I specifically stated that my advice was from a moral standpoint, whether or not the OP considers that as "best" depends on whether or not he is a moral man.

The initial response gave a appropriate course of action from a moral standpoint. It drew from a combination of sources all of which can be potentially described as subjective, moral, rational, emotional, heated yet still valid.
Yes it is not a profitable business, that is not my concern or that of its users. If reddit went under tomorrow and disappeared from the web, users would find a new site (voat.co, some other reddit clone, it doesnt matter) and congregate there.

Are they allowed to monetise their site? Yes of course they are. However there is a fine line between monestising a social media site and killing it. Just look at Digg, they tried to give to much power to superusers and sites that gained traffic from them. Result the users left in droves so that they werent spoon fed corporate shit. It went from a valuation of $150m to being sold for under half a million. It will never regain what it was, diggs are no longer even measure don the site.

The same thing could happen to reddit. The CEOs job is to monetise the site, but if you kill the site you can not monetise it. This is why reddit needs a CEO that the users like. If ellen pao fucks up the monetisation in such a way that it alienates users they will not be forgiving. If the users like a CEO and the CEO fucked up then they are more likely to forgive and remain redditors than if they hate the CEO and the fuckup is the straw that breaks the camels back.

MY 2 cents, seen from far away.
If you want compatibility between x86 CPUs and ARM/PowerPC/MIPS then you have to not use the extended 80-bit results. The 80-bit results can be more accurate (although not always, it depends on exactly how they are used) but the OP wasn't concerned with maximum accuracy but with exact repeatability.

Similarly, if you want cross-architecture consistency you need to not use fmadd instructions because fmadd gives different results from separate multiply and add. The fmadd results are more accurate, but that is not the point in this case.
This counter is completely inaccurate. I used to work for a company that was doing email marketing (I quit because I disagreed with their practices). My employer was buying about one /48 per week. What does this mean? We alone exhausted 2^80 ip addresses per week, or 2e18 addresses per second (that's 2 quintillion!). So this counter showing 2 addresses exhausted per second is wrong by an order of 1 quintillion.

In fact, with the proper paperwork you can still relatively easily buy an entire /40 or maybe even /32. With these practices, IPv6 WILL run out of addresses within the next 100 years. Well, to be pedantic, it will run out of allocatable subnets, but the vast majority of their addresses will remain unused.
Most harassers really aren't that clever at hiding their tracks. Someone that smart is probably doing something more productive with their life.

It's likely a simple request from the police for identity is probably going to cough up the idiot.

"Several" was the wrong word, I guess, because they weren't CEOs before Yishan. Anyway, I still dispute that the typical user knew Yishan Wong by name.

As for Ohanian (kn0thing), I'm thinking of a screenshot of modmail I saw, which was the main primary source I've seen about how admins screwed this all up. Not sure how to find it again, as it was deep in a thread and Reddit's search is not great, but the gist of it seemed to be that (a) he personally had plans for big changes in how AMA would work, and (b) he was oblivious about how these changes would affect moderators, particularly those organizing an r/science AMA with Stephen Hawking.
If you are trying to get exact compatibility between systems with different floating-point systems then serializing to text is the least of your problems.

>LOL - no. Liberal values include state housing which is proven time and time again to end mass homelessness at a smaller cost than the law enforcement, judicial and social cost of managing homeless populations. Liberal values strongly support taking from the rich to support the poor, including the mentally ill and homeless. You do not see many liberal values at play here.

It's pretty ridiculous to say that when in democrat-controlled areas (I will strip the political posturing from the "liberal"/"conservative" weasel words to the teams they refer to, democrats and republicans) there is still plenty of homelessness, very little state housing, and plenty of law enforcement.

DC has been controlled by democrats for decades, as has Chicago, and I know DC has been having a great time selling off homeless shelters so developers can keep gentrification rolling.

Pretending that the other team is responsible for all the world's ills is so juvenile. Can you really not see how partisanship has literally blinded you?
