Great feedback. We've heard this and we've been making strides to improve it. For the most part, this is largely our own doing: we didn't do a good job at all of marketing Atlas to the open source community. There are various reasons for this, including not wanting the community to feel we were pushing commercializing onto them. Another reason is that as Atlas was in tech preview, we wanted to build more features and stabilize on the features we had. But we're carefully learning what the boundaries are and are spreading them a bit more.

If you're an open source user, the first thing that you can do is just go to atlas.hashicorp.com and see the features we add on top of the project you're already using. We now break down features by project being augmented.

Example: Vagrant augmentation: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/learn/vagrant

We have pages like that for all our tools.

We'll continue to improve this! Thanks for the feedback.

EDIT: Sorry, I was answering "why don't I know what Atlas is" versus the answer that was expected for "what is Atlas". The best answer for that is to use the homepage and click on the product (Vagrant, Packer, etc.) you use the most! http://atlas.hashicorp.com
ok. i'm not near a tv so i can't tell. thanks for the info.
People keep saying things like this, but what exactly was on the camel's back in the first place? "Bad communication"? Can you give me any specific, concrete examples?
How hard would it be to fork reddit AMA on a third party site? I'd imagine if you got Victoria on board, a lot of the mods/community would follow.

Certainly some custom support for the AMA would be nice, like getting cleanly summarized final outputs and highlighting direct conversation with the askee, and making it easy to find highly upvoted non-answered questions.
As the article explains, the issues aren't to do with Victoria herself. In that respect, why she was fired doesn't matter. Note that the story is not a campaign to bring her back personally.

Corporate Reddit should have had a plan in place when they got rid of her, but as it became clear, they hadn't thought about it at all. That's what the mods were complaining about.
Disagree - in many cases they are permanently impacted, even if they are not aware of it. Who were are is a product of our life experiences and a child, especially one that is molested repeatedly during extend periods of their youth, are permanently changed. They form an especially deep distrust of adults and may lose the ability to utilize all the subtle clues we all incorporate when forming an opinion of a person.
disarming a population is generally the first step towards oppression of freedoms and loss of rights recognition.

'Sides, everybody's far more polite when everyone's packin heat.
Edit and Continue in Visual Studio is similar to that.
You can change the source code while the program is paused in the debugger, for instance in a breakpoint, and continue after your modifications.
The magic button to wake up for me was having a schedule. I goto bed and wake up at the same time every day (even the weekends). It took me months, but forcing myself to physically get out of bed every morning did the trick. Now I wake up without an alarm clock.
> Besides, what is reddit corporate supposed to do when they want to fire an employee? Message the mods and say, "Oh, btw, we're going to fire Victoria in a couple days and Xyz will take over her duties, just thought you'd like to know."? That's simply out of the question, and not enough people even thought about this scenario.

When you have people travelling from out of town specifically to meet the person you are about to shitcan, you're damn well right you need to do something like that. Either that or delay the action until such time as it will not disrupt something like this. Making the first notification of this be when said person arrives at your front desk is unprofessional and unacceptable, period.
Not as of yet. It's all being kept above board, so maybe there are NDA type things preventing anyone form talking. Also, last night a series of posts on 4chan by a person claiming to be an admin at reddit said that more changes are afoot, including heavy facebook integration. As with everything on 4chan, it is likely a steaming pile of BS:

I'm assuming/hoping that most paperback readers will still have a computer in front of them when going through the book since it's a tutorial, so hopefully opening up the GitHub code isn't that much of an inconvenience. If they're ideally reading without a computer, then missing that chapter shouldn't be a problem.
Systemic quality focus would be a good start. Deming-based management philosophy driving a systems-oriented model.

This actually applies to all businesses; speed improves, market fit improves (quality is just "what is good and valuable" after all), employee happiness improves (exponential gains from that alone). The effects are systemically positive.

But, no one cares, and the belief that we have to crack the whip to get people to make things faster, and we should reward the good people and punish the bad ones—will continue on as pure religious fallacy resulting in the failure or constant-operation-at-the-edge-of-failure of everything involving more than five people, probably until the end of the human race.
Not confirmed, but the rumor was because she was based in NYC and Pao demanded that all employees move to SF.

There was additional speculation that it was the result of the (failed) Jesse Jackson AMA, but I'm doubtful of that.
The moderators of IAmA have said that they believe the decision was made to fire her before the Jesse Jackson AMA happened.

EDIT: whoops, didn't mean to downvote you. mobile misclick :(
"We feel strongly that this incident is more part of a reckless disregard for the company’s own business and for the work the moderators and users put into the site. Dismissing Victoria Taylor was part of a long pattern of insisting the community and the moderators do more with less."

I think this really gets to the heart of it. The moderators of the site only learned of the termination after a celebrity flew out to NY to meet with Victoria and was told that the meeting was cancelled. As expected, panic ensued among the subreddit's moderators. Whether the firing was justified or not, the fact that Reddit's leadership didn't immediately see the consequences of their action on one of their most popular communities just shows their disregard. Or even worse, they realized the consequences and just didn't bother to help facilitate them. I mean these are real people with real meetings spending real dollars for the community, which is all run but volunteers, and Reddit's leadership didn't feel it was important enough to communicate with them to help avoid unnecessary consequences. I understand the frustration.
That has already passed

Excellent points. Regardless of the intent here, geek_slop may have only succeeded in getting the FBI and others to start an actual investigation of geek_slop.

The interface was great! I loved the static video as it gave the reader a sense of what it was like to be present at the scene as opposed to a stylized shot that gives the reader an unrealistic representation of the scene.

I'm curious why you say that. Where did you get that reference from?

Looking through chdir's comment history, the only reference to a book regarding meditation and stress is Mindfulness in Plain English by Bhante Gunaratana.

I'm interested in the book chdir's referring to as well.
"but what else explains her relative silence?"

Non-disparagement clauses as part of a cash settlement are a thing. This proves nothing but does fit the evidence.
I don't think there's any reason to think that functional programmers are more arrogant now than advocates of new programming paradigms were in the past.

Wow, the first racist comment I've read on HN. Must be because reddit kicked you out.
Is there any evidence that dark colour schemes when coding help sleep pattens? I ask because after using the default theme of sublimetext for 6 months then going back to white background for a few days made it difficult to sleep at night. Anyone else found this?
>Corporate Reddit should have had a plan in place when they got rid of her, but as it became clear, they hadn't thought about it at all.

What if she did something really bad and was fired on the spot? How could they "have a plan in place" for a situation like that?
Like many people here I have difficulty sleeping. I took melatonin for a while and it definitely helped. But it had the unfortunate side effect of inducing sleep paralysis. Anyone else run into to this issue?
Hire cheap H1-bs, then your product doesn't work.
Has anyone spotted the documentation for the new shared library system yet? Plugin-based architecture is one of the biggest things I've wanted in Go and it seems to finally be happening.
I imagine it'd be extremely difficult. It's the users that give reddit its power. You can set up another site but if it hasn't got the readership, fewer people are going to do AMAs there. There are already several reddit clones but they are nowhere near as successful.
That is not how things work. Once your system resolves the DNS record it will keep using that record for a while (depending on the TTL of the record and other factors).

Your browser will also cache the result of the DNS lookup, and if that server goes down it will not try to do another DNS lookup for another host and your service will be unavailable.

It will also be unavailable for any new customer that gets the "faulty" IP address.

Specifying multiple DNS records will just cause your DNS server to use one of those, usually in a round robin fashion.
People often say that the users of a site like Reddit are the product, not the customers. In the case of Reddit moderators, they are also essentially employees. Employees who need to be treated more as customers, due to the fact they're volunteers.

Anger the masses of Reddit all you want, but don't piss off the volunteers that hold your product together.
Even if I knew nothing about Java and Ruby (which is not true) have you noticed that you have managed to assert these three things? ->

"we were writing web apps in Java. Ruby allowed us to write those same apps with fewer lines of code"

"So our code grows and grows, until it reaches a kind of equilibrium with how many lines of code a company can support."

"One million lines of Java is easier to understand than one million lines of Ruby. Doubly so when you have better Java tooling than Ruby tooling"

This suggests to me that if, line for line, Ruby is more difficult to understand then the codebase will not reach the size of the Java codebase. But though smaller, the codebase does more. So is it a wash? Maybe.

Nobody would deny that it is harder to build tooling for a dynamically typed language versus a statically typed massacre. But Java has been around longer, it also has/had huge enterprise backing with tens[1] of implementations versus, what, a handful for Ruby[2]? I think it is fairer to compare tooling in the ecosystems of Ruby and Python and Perl and so on before using the word "terrible".

Which is still speculation.
Also adding to what Stefan said, the admins have been deleting subreddits too, sometimes the wrong ones (for example they deleted an Whale Watching subreddit believing it was a fat people harassment subreddit...)
Utilise: Lean JavaScript Utilities as Micro-Libraries
I wonder if the authors of this NYT piece (the Reddit mods) know what happened (or at least know her side of it). I wonder if they are in communication with her. By making this such a high-profile thing, they draw attention to it, which could hurt her if the story eventually comes out and it's unflattering to her.
Thanks --- but which M0 is it? e.g. how much RAM and flash has it got?
That is called disagreement and shouldn't be downvoted. Moderation isn't to express agreement.
No, the shutdown of /r/iama was necessary so the moderators could regroup and figure out how to do their scheduling and coördination from now on.

The shutdowns of the other subreddits were petulant moves by power mods to treat their users as pawns and hockey pucks. They were punishing their users because they were in a power struggle with the admins. That's wrong.

And your claims of censorship are, quite frankly, disturbing. The subreddits shut down last month were all hate groups that were targeting individuals for harassment and posting their photographs without permission in order to attack them. I've personally seen my pictures posted by one of these groups twice, and the day before those subs got banned, there was a very upset mother asking what recourse she had because these hate groups were posting pictures of her underage child and refused to take them down (and I distinctly remember this because I was one of a handful of people who helped teach her how to message the admins).
NYSE Trading Halted Due to Technical Issue

I tried to get a former employer to switch to ISO format, since they had offices both in the US and Ireland. There was too much pushback so I didn't succeed, but I at least got them close: 2015-Jul-08.
I was thinking the same thing. It's disgraceful.

I know a disproportionately large percentage of Google and Microsoft are Indian too, quite likely Amazon as well. Making the connection that the NYSE glitch is somehow connected to the tech staff being Indian is absurd and completely racist.
Have you looked at the website? It's an empty shell. If this is on the front page, then people voted for it. Why, I have no idea.

I wouldn't even know where to start discussing Jetcoin.

Whatever Jetcoin is, jetcoin.org does a poor job of conveying it.

You're thinking third-hand smoke, which is the residue of the smoke that remains on furniture/walls and such in enclosed places.

The burning end of the cigarette? That smoke trail is SHS, as is the smoke that the smoker exhales. The exhaled smoke isn't as harmful as the burning cigarette.

People are exposed to larger amounts of SHS in enclosed places that traps the SHS inside. You don't have to smoke to create SHS, you merely have to light a cigarette.

How much and how concentrated SHS needs to be to be considered harmful is another story. Are designated smoking areas enough? How much distance does there need to be to let the smoke dissipate into smaller amounts and be less harmful?

I don't know the answers to the above questions - and I'm not going to trust any study funded by a tobacco company.
Did you consider that it might not have been an option? That maybe it was an unexpected termination, and they didn't have a way to know about or contact the people arriving from out of town?

You don't have enough information to speculate like that.
This is pretty much what voat is. The biggest issue is handling the traffic. Only a fraction of users went to voat and it was offline for days, crippled by the traffic.

edit: I previously said Voat was a reddit fork, that wasn't correct.
You think they should begin paying moderators? Any suggestions where that money should come from? Any thoughts on whether it will lead to conflicts of interest on the larger subreddits which could harm the site (such as, and especially, IAmA)?
What really baffles me is the way reddit management handled this situation. There were many things they simply fucked up - They did not install the new AMA team properly (hell, the subreddit mods did not know about it), they reacted childish to the shutdown (something along the lines of "popcorn tastes good" - one of your biggest communities just shut down because you failed to do basic management, in what universe is this a proper response?) and they won't address the real issues, it's all PR speech (take a look at the "we' sorry" post, a lot of important questions raised are not answered).

This is just horrible - You cannot anger your community in such a "business model". reddit depends 100% on their users and especially the content creators and moderators. They do very little by themselves, and most of it is stuff around the core functionality only a small percentage is even using.
Two things they should have done:

1) had a transition plan in place for key employees, especially the most prominent public-facing employees

2) communicate after the fact; basically get all hands on deck to find and handle each of the AMAs happening that day and in the next few days, make a single point of contact to triage those needs and tell the mods
Oh, great to know. They are really cheap too ($150, $300, $75 re-up).

Amusingly, that page demonstrates the need for an AWS certification in the first place: the page has over 100 things trying to grab your attention with no focus or clear direction at all. Amazon as a corporate entity seems to go for "maximum information + maximum confusion" in their UX at every turn.

Rewriting the compiler in Go was a precondition for improving garbage collection, according to Rob Pike. The old C codebase was complex and finicky, and, to an increasing extent, contributors to the Go language often know Go better than C.

So, that more complex garbage collector is a product of that less-sexy rewrite.
> One of the criticisms of the Jackson AMA was that, in some cases, his responses seemed out of sync with the questions. But this wasn't the standard AMA format, wherein an interviewee reads questions off the screen and types in answers directly. As often happens with other celebrity AMAs, Taylor selected Redditors' questions and asked them to Jackson live. She then transcribed his verbal responses and posted them on his behalf. Yet Jackson's AMA was even more complicated than usual because it was also one of the first in a forthcoming series of video AMAs to be released this fall. In this setup, he answered the questions in front of a camera in a ballroom in Los Angeles' Hyatt Century Plaza while Taylor communicated with him remotely from New York...

> ...Taylor asked Jackson the upvoted question despite its confrontational nature. It was hard to blame her, since Reddit does call it "Ask Me Anything." Jackson's response was criticized as rambling and nonsensical, and to an extent it was, but the critics may not have realized that he didn't hear the full question. Out of politeness, perhaps, Taylor had paraphrased it to omit the most incendiary language. It's also worth noting that Taylor's transcriptions, while generally accurate, were not verbatim.

As the Mother Jones article quotes Reddit's execs as saying, this purportedly didn't have anything to do with Victoria's firing. While I still think there's a need for a community leader like her, I wasn't aware how much of her job was being the transcriber and translator between celebrity and fans. Frankly, I think Reddit's IAmA would be much better off without this kind of arrangement...this isn't a statement against Victoria's performance, but against the whole dog-and-pony show in the first place. IAmA's give the appearance that the questionee is deciding which things to answer...as the MJ article describes, not only was a Reddit employee acting as a filter, but was paraphrasing both question and answer.

That to me kills a bit of the spirit of Reddit IAmA's...again, there's obviously a need for Victoria in a community leader role, but I'm happy if IAmA's go on without a Reddit employee acting as a translator for celebrities. If that means fewer celebrities do IAmA's, whooopteedoo. The best IAmA's have always been the non-celebrities, like the vacuum repair technician, or the woman who fought off a bear who ripped her face off, or the guy with two penises.

You got a source for that?
All the comments in the thread are focussing on comparing Microsoft's contribution to Facebook or Google for one project and giving credit to Microsoft. But, it is important to remember that Google and Facebook contribute to OSS in different forms. For example, Google spends regularly on Google Summer of Code. There may be other example for Facebook as well.

I am not a fan/employee of any of these companies. I am just putting the contribution into a different perspective.
It would take only a few minutes to come up with a simple last-minute backup plan (pick an employee to temporarily handle Reddit<->AMA, mods communication, and then tell the mods about it). That would be enough to give Reddit enough time to sort out something more permanent.
Bullshyt. They deleted a Whale Watching subreddit because it got taken over by users from FPH looking for a new home. Some of the mods of that sub were FPH admins and were communicating to other users that it was a "backup sub" they could use when they got banned. As soon as the furor died down, the sub came back.
