I completely agree and even when you just accept all this and actually get the App, it is pretty terrible (on IOS).

As in, it stops loading posts, and stops infinite scrolling, so you have to basically kill the app, then go back into it.

I don't see how that is more useful than the website or a better experience.

Also another issue is that many links just don't work. I can't see `streamable` and many others because the page that opens has no touch detection. I have to select `...` then go to `Open in Safari` to make it work.

Whilst the founder has credibility in this space, I don't see what the problem is they are solving. There are many communities all across the internet, and also in centralised places like Facebook & reddit. Forums still remain hugely popular for niche community operators.

The only way social is going to work and be improved going forward is through decentralisation and taking our data out of the hands of a central repository where it can be used to target us, and is more vulnerable to breaches. Once we have that baseline the other problems can be solved by the communities themselves.
I understand your sentiment but I will respectfully and strongly push back on the idea that if you don't code you're just pushing pixels.

You're ignoring the other aspects of design; research, testing, etc. Just because I don't code doesn't mean I don't understand the ramification of what I put down on 'paper'

I have coded in the past but I chose to let that skill drop as it takes practice and time.

By example, here's an overview of my methodologies. In fact, I call out how I can save coding time by iterating ahead of the dev.

Drones have a very real weakness: they rely on a radio signal.

But that aside, the F-35 program was never really about building a fighter jet. It was designed from the beginning as a way to funnel 100s of billions of dollars into the defense industry and to keep that money flowing for decades.
Why so big though? I lived in a 25 000 people town in Sweden and did not need a car more than a few week ends per year. There was 5 bus lines for local transport, and long distance busses and trains with quite high frequency.

And that's not taking into account the fact that bicycle is a very viable way to move around in cities < 200 000 inhabitants.

I have actually never owned a car, I just rent some once in a while to go out somewhere where regular transports don't get me. I have lived in Sweden, France and Spain, in 10 cities from 25 000 to 12 million inhabitants. Never felt restricted. I actually feel much more restricted when I drive because I have to worry about parking, which is horrible in both Paris and Stockholm. Many people I know, even in rural Sweden or France, don't own a car because it is just super costly and the benefit is not worth it. It's very much a generation thing tough because my friends are mostly around 26-32 whereas nearly all the person I know over 35 owns a car, even if they don't actually have that much money and sometimes complain about it.
It would be fine with me if I could simply compile any valid C99 or even C11 code with Visual Studio C++ compiler, but C99 support is only half-assed, and C11 support probably will never happen.

D3D11's C API works fine (that's the only Windows API I care about apart from the usual Win32 windowing stuff), but already D3D12 let that rot and is only usable from C with workarounds (doesn't matter though since D3D12 is fairly niche).

All in all it's a shame though because the newer C features are much more sane and useful than anything in C++14 or C++17.
Am I the only one that remembers that back in, oh 2006ish, one of the core features of Facebook was a hot-or-not picture rating game? Or that one of the other big features was "poking" people?

Whatever Facebook has become, it started out as a MySpace clone, without custom CSS, created by some Ivy League young men. Mythologizing it into some world-changing, higher purpose origin story is asinine.
With all of the news about Facebook hijacking content from mobile phones I do wish all of these new social networks would come with a website I can use, at least to test the waters

What about NIEM (National Information Exchange Model) [1][2].

I see this tech is supposed to be replacement for paper documents and be the medium for government information arbitrage. The only obstacle for using it everywhere is structural complexity of NIEM and lack of tools. I've spent a bit of time hacking it with XML queries and my mind is blown [3].

You can interpret NIEM as a type system similar to types in programming languages, but for composing electronic documents; it could be integrated with payment systems. I think progress will go two ways: composing new documents will be happening with NIEM, older docs could be converted with natural language processing.

The latest version 4.0 is dated 2017, and US has spent lots of money to build an XML representation of real-life objects.

>I'd be surprised something more complicated like road navigation was 100% certain all the time.

If for instance it failed to detect an obstacle how could it tell you that it failed detecting an obstacle? Or that it got the road markings wrong?

Given that the consequences for making a mistake might be people dying I certainly hope that's not how it works under the hood. Anything less than "I'm absolutely sure that I'm not currently speeding towards an obstacle" should automatically trigger a safety system that would cause the autopilot to disengage and give the control back to the driver, maybe engaging the emergency lights to let the other drivers know that something is amiss.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the moments preceding these crashes the autopilot algorithm was completely sure it was doing the right thing.

Of course these various crashes show that in fact the algorithm makes mistakes sometimes but I certainly hope that it's not aware that it's making mistakes, it just messes up while it thinks everything is going as planned.

Cells have membranes for a reason. Without a membrane every random chemical contaminant will enter the cell and disrupt its metabolic function.

Your CPU has a case for a reason. It won't work very well if you pop it open and touch its surface. Computers also don't work that well if they are not electrically isolated or grounded from things like electrostatic discharge.

Networks have firewalls and/or authentication mechanisms for a reason. Without them they get compromised by black hat hackers and malware.

It's not that this kind of "high modernism" denies human nature. It's that it denies something fundamental to life itself and to the maintenance of any complex system: boundaries. No form of complex structure can persist without boundaries-- usually multiple nested levels of boundaries. Removing all boundaries just causes things to collapse down to a lower level of complexity/structure.

In particular, the consent requirements are significantly stronger under GDPR than under either the 1995 directive itself (95/46/EC) or the implementations of that directive in various member states.

I have a friend that was at the beach with her husband, and she had taken her phone with her, but her husband left his in the car.

Thieves had used a jammer/replay device to unlock their car, remove her husband's phone from his Otterbox case, take his SIM card, reassemble the phone, and steal several credit cards from his wallet (also in the car).

Within the hour, my friend began receiving fraud alerts. If she had not taken her phone with her, they would not have known for quite a few hours, at least.

>No it hasn't, they only released the official reddit app in 2016. Reddit bought alien blue in 2014 but even that was only available on iOS

?? Are you confusing the reddit API with the official crap reddit app? It's okay to be ignorant about reddit, but your fake correction borne out of ignorance is weird and misplaced.

Alien Blue development began when the first official iOS App Store debuted in 2010, and was released shortly there after

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_Blue

The reddit apps for Android came out around the same time frame.

So the reddit apps for iOS/Android came out when the app stores came out. For nearly as long as we've had smartphones, we've had reddit API and third party apps. That's the entire history of reddit mobile: API + third party apps.

Anyone with any knowledge of reddit knows that their strategy for mobile was API+third party apps for the majority of their history, and their recent first party apps are ignored and suck.

Breaking news! Schools can't fix suboptimal family life.

And then people complain that there are too many different projects for the various services, each with their own big budgets. It seems clear that the F-35 has had a lot of issues. But it's not a priori obvious that one shouldn't try to make systems that can serve multiple roles when it's possible to do so. In fact, I'd argue that you should always try to do so. The devil is in the specific choices and details.
Agreed, I have a similar take on people who actually get so worked up by something they read on the internet as to harm people or themselves. Before 2006, the response to someone ho believed something truly, obviously false from the internet was to laugh “wait, you actually believed something you read on the inteenet?!”

I remember overhearing people laughing at how seriously some people took the relationship status posted on Facebook. People would put all manner of things on FB as one big joke. Like saying they were in a complicated relationship with their clearly platonic best friend.
No one in their right mind would risk such an expensive plane in a fight vs an inferior plane that costs 1/10 the amount. Tigers in the WW2 could blow Shermans up by the truckload but there were many trucks full waiting behind and the Tiger cost a fortune and made no difference in the war in the end. In any case there will never again be a war vs a country with a similar plane that doesn't turn nuclear first.

Reading this I was shocked, shocked I tell you to learn that cookery courses for adults and healthy eating "challenges" were ineffective. Actually if you take the numbers at face value then perhaps the intervention made the problem worse - there was a comment yesterday about how short-bursts of extra activity actually made people less active outside their regular exercise times.

So the premise of the study seems to indicate that the problem is largely one of education - I guess that's why they dropped this onto the school system. Instead of playing with a few guinea-pigs on a small scale maybe it's time think to think about the big picture:

1. Get all the crap out of the food supply.

2. Put an end, permanently with threat of severe sanctions, to all the fear-mogering in the media that frightens parents into keeping their kids indoors.

3. Deal with small-scale, crime, bullying, availability of drugs, etc. etc. that keep kids inside in front of the games console or TV instead of getting outside.

4. Create spaces were kids can go outside.

5. Get away from schools being places where kids sit on their asses for 6+ hours a day. For example in today' physics lesson on electro-magnetism we are actually going to biuld a 50m maglev track. OK so this is a bit unrealistic but it would be a hell of a lot more fun and everybody would be a lot more active.

... etc. etc., rant, rant.

In other words, the solution to a complex problem which is poorly understood is probably a whole range of solutions to create an environment where obesity simply is not possible. But that would take a huge amount of money, a huge amount of political will, a lot of creative thinking and a general re-wiring of a large number of attitudes and expectations.
Thanks!! :)
I'd be very glad if you could point me out the issues you found!
Yes, that does seem more in line with the track record, doesn't it.
I get your point, but "Reddit is Fun" is really good. It's the opposite of the stupid mobile apps which are inferior to the website proper.

I might even prefer it to the desktop site (not to speak of the mobile site).
I don’t understand the decentralized part of your comment. There’s a reason Facebook and perhaps AOL before it was successful - it’s easy and everyone is there.

I’m a huge privacy advocate but the decentralized Facebook alternatives are a little wonky for most to get their heads around. Jane Average user could care less about blockchain hosted personal data. In most cases Jane just wants Facebook and is a little worried about what’s happening to her data. Facebook maybe more than any other alternative is in the best position to solve the user problem here.

I'm biased but I'd go Common Lisp

The basics:

- SBCL: generates fast[0] code. runs well on windows

- Quicklisp: The package manager which lets you install the packages mentioned below

I've got a video here that should help with getting set up on windows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnWVu8VVDbI&t=1s

Then you could try the SDL2 approach:

- cl-sdl2: Bindings over sdl2 https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2

- cl-sdl2-mixer: audio playback https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2-mixer

- Some basic math library like: 3d-matrices, rtg-math, sb-cga

Or maybe an existing engine:

- https://github.com/borodust/trivial-gamekit

Come down to #lispgames on freenode if you need a hand as there is usually someone there who has touched this stuff[1]

I'll also pimp my own stuff while I'm here just in case someone is looking for a lispy layer over gl

Main downside of Common Lisp is that Emacs or Vim are pretty much a requirement to get a nice development environment, without which you are pretty much in 'writing Java in notepad' territory.
