> So why have slashdot go through a redesign that people will hate? Beta was a total failure, leave well enough alone.
Leave Slashdot and "News for Nerds" the way it is.
Take what you've learned from Slashdot, Reddit, Digg, Fark, Facebook and make a new discussion site for Politics, etc. I'd like to see a moderated news feed and a place for discussion that isn't a newspaper's website.
There should be enough data to run some statistical analysis on how a moderator moderates.
If someone is consistently labeling a certain user or marks posts as "Troll" when it's eventually a +3 then give less weight to their moderation ability.
Why not take this opportunity for a new code base? It's time for a "new" website to discuss on. Reddit's going through a redesign that people hate. People are fed up with Facebook and Twitter.
Slashdot's moderation system is still hands down the best I've come across. It's even managed to handle something 4Chan and Twitter couldn't, completely anonymous posts. It's capped to prevent bandwagoning to oblivion, it gives taxonomy to a post's quality. +5 Funny is different than +5 Interesting and I wish I could sort by moderation classification as well. The random distribution means that you can't just make sockpuppets (not that it doesn't happen).
And if you're looking for funding, I'd pay money to be a part of a website if it meant good discussion. Officially branch out away from technology.
Let us use markdown, add unicode support, add markdown support, give it a good API.
I actually had high hopes for the new ownership. I liked a lot of changes and whiplash actually engaged the community.
But this is just unacceptable. Slashdot is how I survived 9/11 when CNN couldn't handle the traffic. Slashdot defined 'slashdotting' long before "going viral" was a thing. I think Coral Cache was created just for Slashdotting.
While the comments have shifted a bit more right (politically) than I did. And the owners shifted left. (Leading to entertaining comments). And while it's not exactly the same type of news like it used to be. The moderation format and the ability to just plain hide low rated comments mean it's still one of the best places on the internet to have any sort of discussion.
And I can't ever remember this sort of outage. Or the plethora of 5xx errors I was getting before the outage started.
My guess is all the young guns don't know Perl like the old ones and something broke. But of all sites on the internet Slashdot is the one that should be able to handle anything.
I know the DevOps exists to scale from a few hundred hits an hour to a few thousand a second./0100010001010011

Rule of Economy Developers should value developer time over machine time, because machine cycles today are relatively inexpensive compared to prices in the 1970s. This rule aims to reduce development costs of projects.
Rule of Generation Developers should avoid writing code by hand and instead write abstract high-level programs that generate code. This rule aims to reduce human errors and save time.
Rule of Optimization Developers should prototype software before polishing it. This rule aims to prevent developers from spending too much time for marginal gains.
Math isn't for everyone. We have a math requirement.
English isn't for everyone. We have an English requirement.
Government, biology, physics, chemistry, foreign languages, etc aren't for everyone either. But it's a requirement of HS to give people exposure to them.
Clang, LLVM, WebKit, launchd, Grand Central Dispatch. CUPS web interface went from "13 year old with HTML" to "This is usable" after Apple hired the developer.
I left Apple product a while ago. But I can say for almost certain that I wouldn't have the career I have now or a household running FreeBSD/Linux if it wasn't for OS X' underpinnings.
Ironically I've actually used some of my PPC knowledge at work because a lot of embedded automotive controllers are based on the e200 cores.
USB dongles still are a thing. The compiler I was using needed one.
There are ways to lock down software without resorting to installing a password stealer on all your customer's computers and promising only to run it if a certain set of keys is entered.
But as OP stated I don't need a "Desktop Environment". I need a way to make a phone call and turn it into a hotspot to connect a real DE. Be it a tablet, laptop, Galaxy Note sized computing device.
I want it to run OpenBSD as well. I'll live with FreeBSD.
That's it. Exactly what you said plus a shift from what ever Android has become under the direction of Google to a *BSD.
My current phone is a Kyocera DuraPlus. And I still managed to break the screen.
My mobile computing device with wifi and emergency cell service is a Galaxy Note 4. The only reason I upgraded was because my Note 3 fell out of my pocket and was taken out by my tractor's tiller because I was listening to FM radio on it. I have no interest in the Galaxy N+1 that they're on now. The battery is replaceable. It has Wifi, NFC, Bluetooth, FM Radio and a pen for notes. Plus I can plug it into USB OTG and hook it up to a TV. I would love to turn on a Hotspot on the DuraPlus and have a mobile datacenter.

They even did a front page web design.

but lousy long-term accuracy.

A Kalman filter on time.
And the funny thing is, the old technology does it better because the frequency was controlled by a large physical inertia.
Large natural gas engines run at 1000 or 900 RPM depending on 50 or 60 Hz. (And all other multiples, 3000/3600RPM, 1000/1200RPM, etc). It makes writing and calibrating the software easy, you only have 2 operating points. But once they are at load and speed, they stay there.
I can't imagine how much 'inertia' is behind a coal plant.
The downside of batteries/DC power is that you need to rectify it. Cheap UPS don't even make a proper sine wave.
I would like to see a correlation of drift and what each any is using for power generation.
Too bad prices
Don't "remote" work from San Francisco. Without ever leaving the US there are a lot of cheap communities, some with community broadband.

I haven't had to write HTML in ages. It's overly verbose and a waste of characters.
Especially links.
Self hosted on a FreeNAS machine.
Accessing it from the outside web requires a login/password, it's not password protected from the LAN.
A test.
They went after the largest of the large. Github learned they can handle that much traffic. The bot net operators learned their capacity.
What happens when the bot net turns itself towards an entire small country, government site, or any small company that doesn't pay the ransom.
You're confusing me with the other binary guy.

Twice. I see it twice.

which has a character limit and has many anonymous individuals and where people can post without thinking.
They should implement a monetary value to tweet that scales quickly by IP address or some other metric.
Slashdot gave moderation power to everyone, but only in small quantities. It's worked rather well.
As a Slashdot reader since ~2001, this is just unacceptable.
On days I was on the internet I think I've checked them at least once a day. Even if it was just to scan headlines.
After deleting Facebook and trying to migrate away from Reddit I've been commenting daily. That is until the problems started.
