> There is no information that can make the way the out of town guest was treated acceptable.

Sorry, but is this guest the Queen of England or the Pope? Did the mods pay for his/her way to New York? As the GP said, this is an overreaction -- the mods act as if insulting one celebrity means that IAMA, a subreddit that was originally populated by regular reddit users, has been inconvertibly sullied. Or that they, the mods themselves, spent their lives savings to fly that celebrity into town. I'm not saying that the celebrity deserved to be snubbed, but non-conspiracy-shit happens, and firing/rehirings can be a chaotic process that yes, sometimes lasts longer than a couple of days.
Iceland is quite a different story:
1. It isn't a part of the eurozone
2. Its economy actually works
3. The debt was not in the slightest a people's fault
They are curators, not creators.

And the talk about being democratic is kind of wishful thinking at best. Did the moderators got elected in a qualified voting process?
BTW, is NYSE still run by a Tandem?

Edit: I hope so! Great platform.
Since mixins are not supported in combination with classes[1] there is no way. I just fall back to React.createClass when I need mixins (afaik this is also what Facebook does).

A lot of libraries, including react-router, are considering decorators as an alternative.[2]

I'm interested but still not clear on what this is. And: I'm one of those people that periodically makes a point of reloading your website to see if you're doing something else interesting. I've seen "Atlas" for awhile. Still no idea what it is.

So is Atlas the "Pro" versions of your core offerings?

Or is it something else, a single coherent product that changes the way I'd interact with Vagrant, &c? Is it like Packer As A Service? Does it host images I make with Packer? Is it a centralized Consul repository?

I think it's the "managed nodes" pricing model (which is fine, don't get me wrong) that makes me confused about what the offering is.
The basic business question I have:

How is using a website more efficient for vetting
potential co-founders, than alternative methods?

The issue in finding cofounder's for people who are struggling to do so is separating signal from noise. One trend on the internet is that lowering the barrier to broadcasting, increases noise. For a highly selective process like finding a cofounder, the noise from people throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks may make finding candidates worth the effort of vetting harder rather than easier.

The marriage model for cofounders is probably useful. The dating analogy is perhaps less so because cofounding is not necessarily a two person relationship and the principle purposes and processes of business are a lot less clear cut.

Good luck.
Do you have a source? My understanding is that the "censorship" is much more varied and inconsistent than that.

It's hardly what I'd call true censorship either way, since people are freely and openly discussing the very "censorship" and the content being censored elsewhere on reddit.
The Revenge of the Desktop App
An Apple Push Notifications Debugging Story
I don't like whiteboarding interview, and I recently "failed" one. However, I can see the value in them to the employer.

To pass my whiteboarding interview, I needed first to review data structures and algorithms. It had been a while, so I went back to the textbook and got to the point where I could write mergesort, quicksort, dfs, and bfs, as well as do various permutations of sets (the sort of thing that you draw on when they ask you, for instance, to print all arrangements of a string), and could do this instantly (not by rote, through understanding, but "memorized" in the sense that I didn't have to reason through it, I could just write them on a whiteboard). Once I had that solid, I bought a copy of "Cracking the Coding Interview" and started working through the exercises. My goal wasn't to memorize, but to get to the point where I could answer medium to difficult level questions accurately on paper or whiteboard (no typing, no compiler) in 45 minutes or less.

I was unable to get to that point in the time I had to prepare. I should have asked for more time - I scheduled my interview for 3.5 weeks away, and I did devote a substantial amount of time to study. However, I lack the ability to get up to speed in that amount of time. You really do need to be razor-sharp at the whiteboard, and I just wasn't there. My guess is that I could get there in 3-6 months, studying about 15-20 hours a week. Others may not find this as difficult.

There was also a point in my life when I could probably have done this more easily. I have two kids, I'm married, I have a full time job, and there are a lot of demands on my time. It's far more difficult for me to shake 15-20 hours loose a week than it used to be.

Honestly, I do think that the ability and willingness to prepare for and pass an exam like this probably is a very strong indicator of success in the kind of environment where these developers will be working. In short, the constraints on my life and my own personal limitations that make it difficult for me to pass this exam would probably have reduced my value to an employer. They either need someone with more talent and an ability to get into this sort of form on shorter notice, or someone with more time who is willing to spend it on this sort of thing. I'm not happy about it, but there you go.

My broken record: companies are generally free to do as they please (within the limits of anti-discirmination laws, and so forth), but they should stop talking about a shortage of developers if this is how they wish to hire.
This isn't any different than the mainstream narrative. Greece has no significant exports. They never have, never will (without special circumstance). Their GDP is almost solely based on tourism. As austerity was introduced (then ramped up), this eroded any existing value. They should never have been included in the union, but at the time this was one of many risky countries that served as a building block for the Euro powerhouse. It was ultimately worth it, but they will have to be removed. Greece went from one of the most powerful and influencial countries of the last millenium to the Tiajuana of the mediterranean, because of modern economic advances. So what?

So it's okay when reddit does it because they're a private corporation and can censor whatever they want, but when the mods of a subreddit censor themselves there's a problem?

Hypocrisy and double standards.
Maybe try on the gamedev.net forums?
Technically, because of how hidden services work in the tor architecture (both the service AND the user are hidden from each other) there's no "exit ip" when connecting to a hidden service, it just happens somewhere in the intermediary hops. (with the hidden service pretending that its just getting a response from somewhere up the chain)

so what the author of this article was actually doing was just leaking his own IP. lol

What this really needs is a barebones absolute minimum-step demo page showing "how to reliably deploy todo list webapp" for immediate benefit. Then maybe add failover and HA and other more useful minimum-step demos building on top of prior examples. (Maybe it exists?

Yes in the sense that about 90% of hedge funds just use a SOR(Smart Order Router) from their executing broker. So from the funds perspective they are just sending an order to GS that should execute on the "US Market" and they expect GS to send it to the appropriate venue.

Most funds just trade through an intermediary like GS and all intermediaries have SOR's that route to each venue in the US as per RegNMS

The remaining 10% are your market makers and HFT's and for them this is a bit of a headache but it happens and they are well equipped to deal with this. No fund that I know of is a market maker for just the NYSE, but if there is then I guess they just go home early?
"Those moderators are the content creators that make Reddit run"

I disagree. Most content on Reddit is copied/pasted from elsewhere.

"and Reddit runs only because those people have "the power".

There have been many other successful communities that didn't give so much power to moderators. The moderators at HN, for instance, are paid employees.

"If those moderators get upset enough with the way the site is run and go elsewhere, the rest of Reddit's users will likely follow suit, just like they did when Digg imploded."

Users fled Digg because it made a really bad experience for the average person going to the site. Moderators are a minority and can easily be replaced. As long as the average user experience is un-changed, Reddit will remain popular.

When a large company replaces the management team, most people are un-fazed unless it actually effects them in some way.

The moderators made the mistake of using the nuclear option. A bad strategy in the long-run.

Another simple solution is to make it so the moderators can move a sub-reddit to private, but if the community has over a certain amount of subscribers, it's pushed up to a paid employee before it is activated.

This removes 90% of the mods power with very little effort. Most might not even notice until they try to changing the sub-reddit to private, which for the most popular ones, is rare.

Well, some people write very functional javascript. I've thought of a better definition that circumvents the issue of what constitutes emphasis.

Functional languages are languages used predominantly by functional programmers.

Being functional probably has more to do with how a language is used than the set of features it boasts.
Fast builds is definitely a major feature. Go has attracted more Python developers than C++ developers.

People downvote incorrect information all the time.
Our documents are broken into lots of smaller components we call sections. So, in a billeted lost, each list item is its own section.

Sections have a GUID and can be modified without touching any of the other parts of the document. This is useful in that it minimizes most common merge conflicts - they only happen of people edit the same sentence or spreadsheet cell while offline, but simultaneous edits of the same doc generally don't result in the need for any merge algorithm.

For offline edits of the same section, we use a fairly standard three way merge algorithm. Then, we show the edits we chose in the left hand side of the doc with the conversation along with a "Revert" button so you (the end user) can revert if our algorithm was wrong.
You are repeating exactly what I said in the second and third paragraphs. I do not understand what you expect me to respond with. Your very own hypothetical scenario demonstrates that both lines will live on as long as the traits are not selected against.
A contract market for restaurant delivery.

Most restaurants in big cities offer delivery service by hiring and managing their own delivery people. Restaurants probably don't want to be in the business of hiring and managing these delivery people. It also doesn't make sense logistically as the delivery person has to make a round trip. Also, demand spikes and troughs result in a lot of delivery people sitting around or over-worked. There needs to be a more flexible labor-force.

It would be more efficient if you have delivery people be able to contact out to restaurants. For instance, a delivery person can pick up a package going from A->B and then pick up another package going from B->C, resulting in less time spent on the return. There would be a reputation aspect to the delivery people and everything would be pre-paid or, if cash on delivery, would be settled by the app.

The other good thing is that, although the idea benefits from network effects, it could work very well in a small geographically limited location. You could test the idea by signing up just two restaurants on the opposite side of town and work out any kinks.

Not sure if anyone is getting into this space, but considering a lot of wealth is created by specializing, it seems silly that restaurant managers should have to deal with a delivery work-force with (I imagine) high turnover. I could definitely see a Seamless or OpenTable get into this space, if not already involved.

Meerkat Makes Friends with Facebook’s API, Adds Viewer Cameos and Streaming
It is up to the client. But all of the clients (browsers) out there do more or less the same thing.. they try the first DNS record.. if no response in ~30 seconds, try the second, and so on - going down the list.

TTL does not matter here because I am not yanking or adding to my DNS record. I am simply saying "Here are 3 servers.. try them in order until you find one that works".

In practice, a helpful feature is

a) Most clients try them in order from top to bottom
b) Most DNS servers (including Digital Oceans) randomize the return order.

So if you do 2 dns requests, the first will return 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5, 1.2.3.6, and the second will return 1.2.3.5, 1.2.3.6, 1.2.3.4

This has the double benefit of splitting traffic more or less evenly between my load balancers, and dealing with things with one or more is dead.

> A finished project is a dead project. If it isn't improving, it's dying.

Define 'improving', because there have been quite a few major projects that have been getting 'worse' (slower, buggier, less secure, more bloated, breaking changes, feature creep, inconsistent documentation) as time goes on. So what exactly are we prioritizing?

Wintel conquered the world by maintaining backwards compatibility. These days the majority of 'improving' seems to be for getting around breaking changes introduced by others and making unnecessary UI changes. Reliability and consistency is not a priority anymore. Instead no software can ever truly be finished because the assumptions under which it operates change unpredictably and inconsistently.

I mean really, once you finish something like a file renaming utility, what else is there to do? If it stops working due to changes made by someone else, then it needs to be updated, but that isn't improvement. If on the other hand it's working as intended, then the only way to further improve it is by changing priorities. Engineering is all about tradeoffs, but priorities are now being driven almost entirely by cultural forces, and I've seen this render working software inoperable for no other reason than it didn't fit the fashion of the time.

Reality doesn't change to the point that a chair, or even a microprocessor, stops working. Software on the other hand does, and if the platform you're targeting isn't stable, then you can never finish a project, let alone improve it. And this 'no updates' = 'dying project' philosophy is a big part of the problem, because it forces developers to unnecessarily update a project just so people believe it's relevant, while the only metric we should be using is that the software is fit for the purpose we use it for.

many worlds' renouned economic experts have claimed that we're likely headed for yet another great depression.
But noone can give you the exact date right? Maybe wrong. I recently read that there's a pattern of stock market collapse in every 7 or so years. Recall 1973, 1980, 1987 and then 2001, 2008. Article [0] links this pattern with Shemitah year and goes on to establish perfect correlation of economic crisis in last 100 or so years with Shemmitah and Jubilee years. This makes you wonder as to who's really controlling the world's affair?

What's manifesting with Greece default and potential exit from Eurozone, China economic recession and other similar stuff makes me believe that a potential collapse in September/October couldn't be ruled out.

I'm really happy to see that they're canceling all open orders. It's much better than letting them stick around and then execute with unexpected behavior. It looks like NYSE learned from what happened related the FB opening (just as you alluded to), and what happened with Knight around the same time. Playing it safe can be a smart move, even in the stock market.

That seems like a naive "MARKET WILL FIX IT" approach.
