I only skim reading researches in Alzheimer's, a thing that I suspect is that plagues are a late stage sign for the disease. And to ameliorate it is a bit like thinking that to cure age spots can reverse aging. They are the result of the disease, not the initial factor.
They're pushing the native app hard because they want to serve you ads.
Why do you have 100kloc operating directly on a single shared mutable structure in the first place? That sounds like an architectural choice that's going to make any sort of change far more difficult than it needs to be.

Avoiding abstraction is another form of premature optimisation.
Nest 'delegates' the underlying middleware and request/response handling to Express.

In this comparison, Curveball would replace Express, not Nest. It would definitely be possible to write something like Nest on top of Curveball, just like Nest was written on top of Express.
> Users might reasonably conclude that When they grant consent, the app – the 3rd party computer software – would be able to read their email, but no human would be able to read their email.

Users can reasonably conclude that, because of the very poor state of user privacy knowledge, but they are still incorrect. It's rare the third party that can add something useful to a web application which doesn't also necessitate the same privileges that would allow data exfoliation, and which isn't usually added by the first party developer fairly quickly.

Education is needed here.

I hope you are aware that you can opt out of the redesign.
If the supply of people able and willing to clean toilets is great compared to the demand for toilet cleaning service, the wage for toilet cleaners will be low.

We can redistribute profits from investors to low wage workers like the people who clean toilets, but the consequence of that is lower return on investment, and with it, lower rates of investment/economic-growth.

In the long, policies that lower economic growth rates are very detrimental to all classes of workers. What increases wages for people like toilet cleaners is high levels of production relative to population.

Investment is the mechanism by which we increase production, and profits are how 1. resources are distributed to those who are most effective at growing the economy's level of production 2. people are incentivized to invest to increase production.

There's no escaping economic laws, and no free lunch from policies that redistribute income from high income earners to low income earners.
They do that on the mobile website, so they clearly can do that without pushing the app.
I realised the irony as I submitted that,but honestly, it's how I browse Reddit, what little I do of that any more.
Ask HN: Tech Team Lead, and the likes, which tools do you use in your role?
e.g. Trello for sprints and project management, some sort of integration with Trello and Github/Gitlab issues, some tool to keep track of feedback, etc..
The Reddit .compact view is great, and should be how mobile sites work. All server render, and a tiny bit of interactivity. It's miles better than the real mobile view.

Try it yourself at : reddit.com/.compact
I use reddit's "compact" theme on mobile: https://www.reddit.com/.compact

So far it's been a universally superior experience to the proper mobile site or the app.
People browsing /comments will also come to (and potentially vote on) new, active threads.
All crap. Move back asap.
Meh, cell phones are just glorified tracking devices anyway.
It works because the local telco is actually relaying the data frames back to the home telco (beyond the firewall) instead of terminating the data session themselves within the firewall.
Adblocking is less effective on apps, and there's greater data slurping potential.

James Hansen's 1988 Climate Change Warning, 30 Years On
> Why users want to install programs willy-nilly in various random places is beyond me.

Maybe I want some applications on my SSD and others on slower media? Maybe I want to have it on a thumbdrive I can carry around with me and run on whatever computer is nearby (and obviously running the same OS)? Maybe I just want to organize my file tree in a way that makes more sense to me? Just because your imagination is limited doesn't mean there aren't reasons people might want to do other things.
I do feel vastly more productive with my life without Reddit. Conversations on HN - I feel an odd kind of inclusion I never felt on Reddit, or many other places in real life, internet. More signal than noise, makes it easier for me to feel like I have focus. The design of HN also, I appreciate, seems more thought went into planning the vote system, different ways to think about communities, different values.

Knowing only the individual can see their upvotes for an individual post makes the question - is there a difference between 30 upvotes and 2, if the rank of that post is 1? Which I find simply to be, intellectually resonant (or simulating) in the way Reddit, even Google - used to be. Those places have become so noisy, which is ironic, but that's the problem with success. The problem of finding a metric to measure the thing against.
+1. I made the original comment on the other thread [1], and repeat here for others: if you read only one book this year, let me strongly recommend you consider this one ("Why We Sleep").

Here's an interesting paragraph, pertinent to the discussion of Alzheimer:

"As we learned ..., sleep quality - especially that of deep NREM sleep - deteriorates as we age. This is linked to a decline in memory. However, if you assess a patient with Alzheimer's disease, the disruption of sleep is far more exaggerated. More telling, perhaps, is the fact that sleep disturbance precedes the onset of Alzheimer's disease by several years, suggesting that it may be an early-warning sign of the condition, or even a contributor to it.

Following diagnosis, the magnitude of sleep disruption will then progress in unison with the symptom severity of the Alzheimer's patient, further suggesting a link between the two. Making matters worse, over 60% of patients with Alzheimer's disease have at least one clinical sleep disorder. Insomnia is especially common, as caregivers of a loved one with Alzheimer's disease will know all too well."

The author goes on to discuss the studies his team did in testing the hypothesis of amyloid buildup in the brain (particularly in the frontal lobe, which regulates your sleep) would impact the quality of sleep, and reduce NREM sleep - which is crucial for memory formation and retention.

So even if the amyloid hypothesis doesn't explain the onset of Alzheimer, there's enough evidence to claim that amyloid plaques may be associated with the loss of deep sleep, and damage your memory.

Now the most interesting part is where the author claims the opposite: that lack of sleep is correlated with amyloid buildups, as it disrupts the function of glymphatic system within the brain.

There is no old.reddit.com cabal.
The question isn't whether O-rings had ever been warned about before; it's whether and how often there were ever any warnings of equal specificity and high profile to this one. "Go fever" accumulates from overriding previous warnings that didn't materialize as a threat.
I’m on mobile so I can’t fully inspect the cert but since it’s hosted at MIT, my guess is the Comodo-backed cert is though Internet2. The site maintainer probably neglected to include the intermediate cert which is fine for many browsers because they cache those but is a problem for some.
How many of us actually have any knowledge of how our compiler works? I only have a rudimentary knowledge of the Java AOT and JIT compilers. It's enough that with some work I can read `PrintAssembly` output but really, I'm not nearly that familiar with the compiler.

I think you're right in that attempting to write code that specifically matches all these things is likely to prematurely optimize. I develop on Linux on an Intel consumer desktop processor, and OS X on an Intel consumer laptop processor, and I deploy to a containerized instance running on a virtualized Intel processor running on an Intel server processor. This lets me get to market quite fast. And I should be trying to figure out the wide instructions on the Intel server and if they're a good idea? I didn't even know about pcmp{e,i}str{i,m} until a couple of years ago and I have used it precisely zero times.

As it stands, 400k rps and logging every request, for an ad syncing platform, and it's not breaking the bank. Spending time to learn the intricacies of the JVM is not likely to have yielded improvements.
If only Reddit would honor the browser initiatied 'request desktop site'.
Just noticed on the fiber map contained in the article that there isn't any fiber in Michigan's upper peninsula.

How is that even remotely possible? It appears that it runs up to to Mackinac City and then stops short of the bridge. The map doesn't even show the U.P.

I was at a tech conference once that had attendees states on their badges. A lady came up to me and said how cute you've got a deer jumping over the state of Michigan on your badge. Told her that's not a deer, it's part of the state ;<).

I see where you're coming from, and hey, the thing works. Not everything is perfect, but the Stream API could definitely be better.

I agree it would be nice to have a consistent interface. The problem is it's neither consistent nor an interface, it's an inconsistent hierarchy of subclasses. There's always fuss because everyone is going to get bitten by it at some point. It's just a poor abstraction, and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth as a library (well, framework) consumer.

Microsoft promised me that they gave me a thing that had certain features and capabilities using industry standard terminology and knowledge. There's a contract. If you go out for a car loan that says "0% APR for 12 months!" You expect that to be the first 12 months, not "0% APR only on days divisible by 7 during leap years, up to a total of 12 * 30 days over the course of the next millennium, otherwise 7.5%"
Wait, are you saying if I install a third party app, like you know a third party email client, and give it explicit access to my Gmail account I'm giving it the ability to read my emails? The horror.

This isn't journalism. It's an ignorant hit piece by a paper owned by Murdoch. Forbes and The Verge should also be ashamed of just regurgitating the WSJ BS and not doing their due diligence.
At this point I'm genuinely wondering if they're about to Digg themselves into a amusingly-recursive grave. All it would take is one great, open forum site to absorb the refugees from a terrible management mistep, and they're toast. Just like Digg.
Does anyone notice that the conversion rate of reddit links drop much with the new UI? Before, the rate is about 70%, now it is 10%. For example, a reddit comment page shows 2000 views, but there are only 200 visits detected by yourself website backend stat software.
Wouldn't that be funny to see Apple go from employing JKH to employing Linus.
Sure - I still find it amusing tho - totally worth the downvotes...
The app doesn't have ad blockers and they can spam notifications, hence the push.

Also I'm sure somewhere "mobile users" is a metric in a company valuation equation. Pinterest is the worst offender of a mobile app that doesn't need to exist since the web counterpart can do 100% of the job. This being a product that leveraged JavaScript in browser bookmarks to get "pins" without an app or extension.

When Reddit stopped allowing non-email-verified signups and conveniently locked everyone out who did have a non-email legacy account, the writing was on the wall. They didn't even have their own mobile app for years after the "mobile first" rhetoric and guess what... It still grew to the #3 website in the world.
i don't think its taboo, its just that the bar keeps getting higher and higher for law enforcement to even notice.

it used to be that if a pile of drunks had a loud party outside my house at 3am, I could call the cops and they would send someone to break it up. or if someone started living outside by business, screaming at passersby and making a huge biohazard mess I could call them and they would move them along.

now they want to know how big the encampment is, if it gets big enough they will break it up after a few weeks. otherwise I get the feeling they just put you on a list of whiners to ignore. anyways - you stop calling.

even if the rent weren't so insane I would want to leave just because of the sheer misery involved for everyone.

Why would anyone use Comcast for mobile is beyond me. Not saying the others are much better, but at least you wouldn’t be helping Comshit earn even more money.
Having read your link... I can certainly understand why someone would be reluctant to take it on.

As far as I understand the original case, you had a business running where you'd collect used printer cartridges and refund them at retailers, pocketing the refund for yourself. The retailers had a max returns-per-person policy, which you attempted to work around by... well, the details aren't clear, which means it sounds a lot like fraud (especially in the vein of https://xkcd.com/1494/). You went to trial, where (I'm assuming) the jury felt that your scheme didn't just sound like fraud, it was fraud.

That was the clear part. At that point, it looks like you objected the amount of fraud, so you demanded that the government explain how it calculated that amount. And then it seems you didn't like the answer, so you demanded that the government turn over all pertinent financial details or something like that, and on the government's refusal to do that, you're asserting that your Sixth Amendment is being violated?

I mean, even relying solely on your own evidence trying to paint you as in good a light as possible, this just sounds like a fraudster caught in the act, trying to squirm out of any consequences whatsoever. Even if this view is completely wrong, the fact that it comes across so readily is a strong indication that it isn't the best vehicle to challenge a point of law.
Finally, the needed re-branding/re-naming for the ambiguous "Dark Patterns" is "Asshole Design".

The sad thing is that the technically literate might come across as "this is overhyped", because in a way it is (in that it focuses on one company), when the real sentiment is "this is what gets you alarmed now? This problem is rampant all over the place and we've been harping on it for years".

WebRTC defines STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) and TURN (Traversal Using Relay NAT) for dealing with firewalls. The problem is that they're optional and not always implemented. Secondly TURN relays data using a central server so can add latency or hit bandwidth bottlenecks.
Even though I don't give a single fuck about the downvotes, I really don't understand the extent of downvoting abuse on this website. And for some reason, I am unable to do downvotes. OP clearly messed with the original link and added the "old" subdomain. What the fuck am I being downvoted here for?
I'd say that capitalism shares the features of wage labour being the predominant way of making a living, mostly private ownership of means of production, the production of things with value (exchange value to be prioritised over use-value) , as in generalised commodity production, and accumulation of capital affording greater amounts of power. These seem to apply (more or less) to the world today; sure, you can point at finance capitalism, the shrinking of manual labour industries, the general ownership of more than one's labour-time, the price of oil being "incongruent" with labour theories of value, whatever. But if you don't want to call it capitalism, then you don't have to - though the experts on both sides of the coin seem to want to do so (and those I'm most sympathetic to in the Frankfurt School) - it doesn't change the reality of what's being faced.

At best, I think the only reformulation required would be to put an adjective on the front of "capitalism". Or we could talk in terms of the Spectacle, the culture industry, "the economy", ideological state apparatuses etc. But no matter what, it is economy, and thus in fundamental contradiction to Communism, the end of economy.

I was trying to get at using "Communism" or "Socialism" for their program, rather than "Marxism", which to me is the critique of political economy and out of which necessarily flows Communism.
Yeah I am. But im not always logged in (such as on my work laptop), and the redesign blasts ads and is much less useable than the old design.
For some reason, I can't log into my Reddit account on the new design. I have to go back to old.reddit.com to log in.

Not that I'm complaining. The new design is just...weird?
You can still get NullPointerExceptions in Java, frequently.

Rust doesn't let you do that, at least not without conciously deciding to use unwrap() everywhere.
Who else would?
> You're either thinking about how much information is being moved around or you're not.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think you meant how often information is being moved around. That's the scenario where latency has a disproportionate effect on performance.

(Bandwidth is usually not a problem these days unless you're doing something at the very high end.)

It's kind of fascinating that seems like there is some kind of force that drives popular web sites to eventually self-sabotage themselves out of existence. Reddit seems to be having a good go at it now.

I sort of get how it happens but I can't quite understand how the level of stupidity required by management is achieved in practice to actually do it.
Yeah - the redesign had a fantastic feature that it wouldn't let me log in successfully, so I'm gone now.
Twitter is the other major "use our app" and "please register to continue" abuser. The mobile website shows trimmed comments and the original post that cannot even be followed or scrolled through without a forced register-wall appearing.

I do recall that Debian packaging, coming from the RPM world, had a very steep learning curve, but that mostly felt like an outsized up-front investment, rather than ongoing pain. (RPM was too long ago to say if it was similar for me).

I'm curious [1] which aspects you find make the Debian (and Ubuntu?) system particularly difficult. Specifically, I wonder if those aspects are difficult by design, in order to "force" effort on the part of the packager to extract benefit on the part of the user or distro, if they're arbitrary, or, perharps if they're by-design but misguided.

My wife and I are expecting soon and I'm prepping to be a SAHD (Stay At Home Dad). I'd prefer to have some income, however, so I'm looking for part-time remote work. I'd be happy to work for US as well as non-US companies, as long as the work is interesting.

I have a good amount of experience with web dev and I could do that quite capably. I'd be excited to work on something in a different capacity - games or CLI tools would be amazing - or a different language.
