It’s ironic that you mention porn given the extent to which Reddit has so many subreddits devoted to porn topics that would be considered horrible racism and/or sexism if they weren’t hiding under the banner of porn.

When you’re a company relying on outsourcing moderation work to an army of unpaid moderators, it’s probably not a good idea to drive away said moderators. Especially when your customers (advertisers) really don’t like sites that allow bad c

Well. That’s that for Reddit. Where is the best alternative? Stackexchange?

If those users weren't that important, Reddit wouldn't be needing to push through this change and capture the revenue from those users.

Additionally I'll point out that people who search reddit like that are some of the most valuable visitors on ads-based platform, as many of them are looking for shopping advice.

It's 70% better than O(1). The algorithms it found are for sort3, sort4, and sort5, which were poorly optimized in LLVM's libc++.

Huh for me the blurriness draws my eyes to it even when I’m not looking at it.

They also have a really wrong shade of saffron for the Indian flag, even though the Wiki article on the flag correctly specifies the colors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_India#Colours Can't really blame t

Yeah, and merely over some random technical article, not controversial politics or anything.

I guess preferences vary but to me [x**2 for x in range(10)] is a lot easier to read at a glance than range(10).map(x -> x**2).

Clicked on that expecting it to be an article about how corsets remained popular with women in the Victorian and Edwardian eras even as doctors kept recommending against them.

It's not handwavy. If you use un-escaped user-provided strings in your HTML, it is almost certainly catastrophically insecure. One user can submit text that includes password-stealing code and when it's displayed to another user i

It's why JSX is such a god-send in React (and very rarely do people use string templates to produce HTML in React). String templates are much easier to read and understand than nested function calls. If a language incorporates a safe r

There was a clear large explosion on the ground while the Patriot was no longer intercepting. This wasn't just debris getting through. That said, it's not necessarily due to failure to intercept that this happened - we have video

The comment I replied to specifically said "The Patriot missile is proven to defeat Scud missiles in real combat". That is a false claim, as I asserted, and none of what you mention says anything about defeating Scud missiles i

It's unclear whether they have any in operational service right now, but the Zircon is certainly a true hypersonic maneuvering cruise missile, rather than merely a ballistic missile or even glide vehicle.

"The Patriot missile is proven to defeat Scud missiles in real combat" - no it isn't. It quite notoriously mostly failed to intercept Scud missiles in real combat. It has been heavily upgraded since and modern Patriot batteri

Given the amount of opportunistic looting of shopping districts that has often used such protests as cover in the past, it's good that they were proactive about this, in case it happened again.

Do you believe that Moore’s Law (or rather Huang’s Law) will stop being true before AI exceeds human capabilities by orders of magnitude? We don’t need a runaway singularity for AI to just render human intelligence obsolete.

Yup. A major example is that appearance related genes can be correlated with all sorts of things that actually only happen because of how other people react to the appearance.
