I didn't take the FPH drama very seriously, but this looks kinda bad to me, so far.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3bz8jp/right_now_admi...

I still don't know what to think of it, and I can't keep up with it either.. but I just hope it gets thoroughly archived and documented on sites other than reddit and imgur. Because while I won't condemn reddit on a whim and call it a bad actor, I also don't find any of this trustworthy at all. I'd even say, unless the /r/pics "takeover" was the "root mod" (or whatever it's called, I never made a subreddit) locking out all other mods, if this was actually admins protecting "their" assets, made by the community, that'd surely be crossing the line for me.

As would be paying lip service to mods as to how swell everything will be to get mods to get subs back up, while people with scheduled AMA still don't know how to get in touch with the people Victoria had the contact info for. I don't have a link for the last bit, and it was just a claim by someone anyway (didn't check if they actually were involved with AMA stuff), so don't take my word for it - but that mod mail really does read so fluffy while making no real commitments to anything, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Anyway, I would rather see blacked out subs in support of something I agree with, than active subs that are testament to a shameful episode and state of things. They have my support to black out all the things, for days, weeks and months. For how ever long is necessary. If reddit becomes a place putting effort into again, I'll enjoy it like nothing was ever gone. Otherwise, might as well go out with a bang and some pride. There is infinitely more where reddit came from, and maybe a better site will be born because of all this somewhere down the road. Maybe reddit can reform, but it clearly needs some boundaries, so this blackout has my full support. Enough already, users and communities are not dough to be shaped however one wishes, to be disrespected like helpless dependents. It's a bit like that Fight Club bathroom scene: "We cook your meals, we take care of you when you're sick, and we also make the sites that pay your salary worth visiting. Do not fuck with us."

Yeah I know I'm being a bit dramatic, please take this with a grain of salt. It makes me sad rather than angry or indignated. Still, I don't think this is cool, at all. It's just not on.
I remember this. One (in sweden) could dial a freephone bbs number and enter a fake credit card only to get a temporary working account, that worked for like 24 hours or until you hung up. Helped me from being killed by parents for huge phone bills around 1995

It depends on your situation but I find that it's easier to focus at the beginning of the day after a good night's rest than at the end of the day when your mind and body can be tired.

I also tend to (for various reasons) get better quality sleep if I go to bed early and wake up early. Human sleep cycles have probably aligned with the sun for a long time which (might) have biological effects favouring this type of circadian rhythm.

Plus seeing/photographing magnificent sunrises feels good :)

Well, depending on frequency you would still have some traversable effects regarding radio. You would have ground wave propagation at the minimum. unfortunately, most radio would be line of sight because of no atmosphere. Limited atmospherics would provide very restricted use on a multitude of frequencies mainly lower than 6 meter. If you wanted to communicate with the other side of the body, you would have to rely on a third entity like we do on here with the moon to bounce and receive. Aside from that option you would have little/no multi bounce
After what WikiLeaks revealed about Khalid El-Masri[1] it would be a poor choice.

I wake up at 4 most mornings. I'm always at the peak of my energy at the 3.5 hours I have before I walk entirely uphill to work. After my descent I'm usually too worn out to get anything productive done, and since I start wrapping up my evening around 7-8, I don't sacrifice sleep.

Depending on which market share data you are reading - Chrome isn't clear cut market leader (http://venturebeat.com/2015/05/01/chrome-passes-25-market-sh...).

I am far from Google fan but calling Chrome is a problem is naive. I use Firefox on my Linux desktop and I can make Firefox default browser on my Android phone too but my wife is stuck with Safari on her iPhone - no matter what she wants. I think that is bit of a problem and should be addressed.
Let's try not to hijack the term "parallax scrolling" to refer to scroll hijacking in general. This is "zooming user interface".
Given a set of tasks T, that have to be done, and the tasks are interdependent.

Sort T by difficulty to complete.
Complete one task after the other starting with the hardest.

This approach goes against the often spread advice that you should start with the easiest tasks, which are probably fast to complete, in order to get quickly a feeling of accomplishment which keeps you motivated.
I think this approach is wrong and here is why:

IMO our brains always weigh risk multiplied with investment against reward, and as long as the reward outweighs (risk * investment), we are motivated: Risk meaning here, that you invest time and effort but eventually you miss the deadline and are not paid the full reward. The more time we let pass, without completing anything, then the risk of not getting the rewards becomes bigger and eventually it is not worth our effort anymore, and our brain finds more rewarding things to do (procrastinates). So why should we start with the hard tasks first?

Because, given that we start with the easy ones first, we reduce the available time to complete the hard tasks, and by the time that we start with the hard ones, the risk of failing becomes too big in order to be still motivated. In contrary, when we start with the hard ones, of course it takes longer to finish them, and the time left for the easy ones is less, but our brain can easily estimate the risk of easy tasks, and it will find that it's quite possible to get the final rewards, because we already finished the hard ones.

The realisation changed my life. I completed my CS master studies within 15 months.
And the number just keeps growing:

"Opportunity looks a lot like hard work"

Whilst I don't love this quote, it represents a problem that I see often: people are asking for tools and techniques to achieve better productivity when often, it's about discipline. I wrote more about how discipline and why it's important here[0], with a particular story about how my father's time in the British Army taught me a few things.

However, there are certainly a few strategies that we can all use to combat our irrational behaviour and get things done rather that procrastinate (on hacker news all day!):

Make Time

Stop saying you don't have time. It's up to you to make time. If it's important enough, you can do it. Read more at 'Make Time for Your Side Project' [2].

Timeboxing

This is a simple technique (similar to using a pomodoro timer) that defines a start point and a fixed time for completing a task. Often starting is the key to finishing.

Mise-en-Place

Prepare for success by getting the environment right and ready. Make it easy for you to jump in to a piece of work without any 'set up' time. Give yourself the chance to succeed by removing any potential distractions.

Celebrate Small Victories

Allow yourself a pat on the back. Completing small tasks can give you enough of an adrenaline rush to start the next task. Then you're on a roll!

Stop Aiming Too High

This is something I suffer from all the time. I see so much great work out there that I'm constantly embarrassed to launch. This 'fear of the launch'[3] can be dealt with. It's about overcoming your anxieties to produce something 'epic' by purposefully launching something below your comfort threshold. True success is often journey paved with small, iterative launches.

>the commonly agreed best subs use extensive vigorous modding

Do you include TIL among those? I do. Best sub there is.

The only they they use 'extensive vigorous modding' for is verifying whether titles follow the rules. And ~100% of that is based on user reports, they just double-check.

Aside from that, there is 0 moderation, other than for sitewide rule violations. You can say anything_you_want in comments and they will take no action.

Out of curiosity: I'm German and just had a look at the German NCC Group website's career section. It tried to redirect me to the UK site (the redirection is broken, btw.) and when I went there to have a look at the vacancies, there was nothing for Germany. Are you currently hiring here as well?
Yeah, because something the Swedes did to two low profile suspected terrorists 14 years ago and subsequently paid substantial damages for is exactly how they'll treat an expensively-advised public figure in a high profile case. Their desperation to put him on a rendition flight to Guantanamo Bay, even if it means jeopardising their extradition treaties with the EU, is illustrated by the incredible lengths Assange had to go to board a routine passenger flight to leave the country the day after his lawyer had been notified of his impending arrest.

That was also sarcasm, in case you are wondering.
As we say on my home country, one gets what he pays for.

A friend of mine told how powerful SharePoint (a M$ product) is for automating workflows, information sharing, reports and all. He's technical, but definitely not a programmer and he's able to run/script all the business processes in his company.

It gives you an illusion of zooming in/out with your scroll wheel when you're actually scrolling the page.
Yeah, no. His chances would be much better in France. La Grande Nation has at least some pride. The German government could not care less about the US spying on us. They are of course trying their best to please the press but while the US is highly dependent on its German bases they would never do anything substantial to anger the US. And there is no pressure on them to change that: The two big parties form a coalition and while the smaller one (SPD) tries to benefit from the scandal, truth is that their members oversaw the agencies in the last big coalition.

There was a parliamentarian commission, which investigated the Snowden scandal. They tried to interrogate him but not even that was possible let alone asylum for him.

> - harder to navigate (you have to scroll a lot to trigger a section change)

> - harder to understand how much more is left to see

I think in this page, unlike many other scrolljacking implementations, this one is actually fully scroll-functional. ie You can drag the scrollbar from the side of your browser window, use pgup/pgdn, or click a point in the scrollbar and it still functions well, so the scrollbar gives you all the same navigation flexibility and information as a traditional page, without breaking the aesthetics.

> - interferes with the inherent perception of what the scroll does (moving a page up/down)

As for that one, I think it's evident very quickly that it moves you forward and back, unlike some other scrolljacks that try to do weird things like animate images and run slideshows and things and mixes a bunch of paradigms.

In fact, it actually felt good when I move my fingers on my scroll wheel forward and it pushes the world forward, and back when I pull back, it felt more connected than a classic up/down scroll.
Well if we are talking about true multitasking (working on more than one thing at the same time) then humans can't do that - we only have one CPU with one core, our brain. Some people can do scheduling and time-sharing well, that is they work on one thing for some time, then on second one for some time, then on third one, then they return to the first one etc. but that's not multitasking really.
French is not a requirement. Most of us can speak a decent English, and we already had an intern from the US.
This is definitely parallax scrolling. Watching the items far away as you scroll forward and backward. The ones farthest away seem to gather at the center of the screen. As you scroll you don't just move in and out you move left and right as well. Watch the movement of the things in the back vs. the things in the front when this happens. The things in the back move left and right very little while the things closer to you move left and right a lot. It's definitely parallax.
what is so great about introducing gadgets like car play into old and outdated technology like cars that need gas? Seriously, the big innovation in the car industry is coming from Tesla and not from Google or Apple.
Tesla's plans to have enough super chargers (solar powered) around the U.S. with instant battery swaps for those in a hurry, to allow you to travel from N.Y. to L.A. without spending a dime - those are the game changers.. not touch screens or the replacement of the suction cup.
It's also used in South African ID numbers, although it's applied backwards.
If you use a ref to a DOM component, you don't need ReactDOM.findDOMNode at all. Calling findDOMNode on a composite drills through abstraction boundaries and breaks encapsulation, so it's rarely what you should do.

The removal of .getDOMNode() was intentionally done in concert with this change: previously, all component classes created with React would magically have that DOM-specific method added to them; this way, component classes are less tied to specific rendering environments. If you need to call ReactDOM.findDOMNode then yes, your components will be tied to the ReactDOM renderer.
My biggest productivity boost as a developer has been switching to a Vim, tmux and more recently Docker based development environment. Whereas it used to take me quite a while to get my environment started and get in the flow, it now takes just a few seconds with a simple "tmuxinator start projectname". It's especially helpful when you often switch between projects that have different languages and stacks.
Same here. I have android and GNU/Linux and Firefox is set up as default on both.

Don't feel you need to do everything yourself. Try to get people who can run interference for you, know what to ignore and know when to delegate.
It's some time ago that I tried exporting, so I don't recall exactly what I did. As far as I know, I tried it with that command line tool but it simply wouldn't export everything.

There's also the issue that if it does export something, you have to accept every exported item individually. If you search the internet, you'll find people who wrote scripts for "automatic accept-clicking."

But as I said, once I looked up what it exported, I noticed that it was far from complete.But maybe there's some command line option buried somewhere that will accomplish what I wanted to do...

The whole export thing is just terribly broken.
