>If it sucks so bad then why take charge of so many subreddits?

I mean, having lots of big subs under your control definitely does give you a little feeling of power, which some people like. Personally it doesn't outweigh the responsibilities, which is why my subs are <10k.

>I'm sure there's no shortage of people willing to help moderate

Probably true. But with every new mod you run the risk of getting one who goes rogue or otherwise _seriously_ abuses power. This is simply a self-fulfilling prophecy:

1. conspiracy that a small network of mods have censorship power*

2. mods censor posts because it inevitably leads to a witchhunt

3. goto 1

*mods do have basically unchecked power in subreddits, so it's not really a conspiracy. For a very long time, /r/xkcd was squatted on by white nationalists and admins refused to step in for months.
I think they are deliberately making things confusing. Also the double negative thing which is not very typical for other settings.

I added a link to an Apple support doc which to me suggests that limit = off (or it’s an even bigger conspiracy than I thought, but I’m not that paranoid)
There is not nearly enough content regarding the Korean/Japanese/Taiwanese leagues that are filling the baseball void right now.

I know next to nothing about the players and my typical sources are not putting much out except "the broadcasts are pretty watchable, great circle change." Would love to see more scouting reports on the players who have been very much overlooked in all this.
I do not see why it looks bad. As others said, he sold a tiny percentage of holdings, which is a standard setup for many executives (with sale notifications filed with SEC months in advance)

If he has stock worth $10 billion, it's insignificant.
In my similarly limited experience, this is directly correlated with equal parts 1) how strong-willed the architects and technical leadership is; 2) how [dis]functional your non-technical leadership is.

Most good developers want to pay down technical debt. Most good architects are able to balance business and technical needs enough to know when and how to pay down what debt without spending four sprints renaming variables. It's when you have either dis-functional leadership who refuses to listen to their employees (most likely IME), or architects weak in either skill or constitution who can't or won't stand up the bosses to try to explain to them why we need to spend some time renaming variables.
Came here to say this. He started with 0 shares of class A stock, and ends with 0 shares of class A stock.

What he did do is convert $23m worth of class B stock into class A stock, and sell it.

Adding up all the class B stock & options he holds at the end of the transaction (Table II, column 9), he still holds ~50M shares (worth ~$165 a pop as of this writing).
I've had downstairs neighbors like this: we were quiet, responsive and tried our best not to make a racket. My wife and I were out of the house most of the day, but they kept on calling the cops on us.

Just like Facebook lets us know friends, I wrote a few python scripts to know our mutual connections and find the relation between any two users on Medium. Explained it from the perspective of a non-programmer. Logic is as easy as Venn Diagrams
That’s class A shares, which are publicly traded. He also has many class B shared which are not publicly traded but have 10X voting power. This was just selling a bit of the company to get some available cash.
I made https://lessnoise.net/, which recommends who you should unfollow on Twitter (right now it's very basic and just shows you who tweets the most out / is noisiest of everyone you follow)

Would love to hear any feedback!
Also worth noting that cloud flare is a large driving force behind encrypted SNI which is the last nail in the coffin for putting ISPs in the dark when your average consumer is browsing the net. https://blog.cloudflare.com/encrypted-sni/

Basically when you connect over https using TLS 1.2 to a site that is hosted on a shared server or behind a load balancer, your browser must tell it in clear text which host name it is trying to connect to. Encrypted SNI in TLS 1.3 also encrypts this info such that if you are also using DoH or DNS over TLS to encrypt DNS query then the ISP can only see the IP of server you connect to which is often going to be a huge cloud provider's load balancer that might serve hundreds or more different sites throughout the day / at the same time.

Ask HN: Modern State of Desktop Developmenet
Hello!

There is lots of talk back and forth on the benefits of systems like Electron.

I'm curious of the modern state of development for the desktop. Where are resources being devoted, are there any well known best practices?

I'm just curious where one (experienced in other areas) would start in this field.

I'm afraid the reality is different with an enormous amount of people consuming their news through Facebook. I wish it wasn't so and people would think harder, but nevertheless here we are with enormous amounts of fake news spreading through these platforms. I do think that some form of fact checking would be better for some people their own protection.
> I maintain a file of headhunters that I have come in contact with.

Its definitely good to keep in touch with a list of people like this. I think you'd be better off to ask your friends for recommended people. Most recruiters that randomly contact you are crap.
Fun fact there are 3(+?) ways to embed images:

1. Using a link like in a normal website => might not load.

2. Using a data uri => increases mail size, there is no rfc as far as I know which states that this even had to be supported.

3. Using a cid , link as specified by the mail rfc => increased size and more complex (you basically put a link in the http body which refers to another body in the multiparty/mixed body it's in by the unique cid. Which is supposed to be works unique but quite to often is not.

HN usually allows controversial comments to stand as long as they don't generate poor discussion. Sticking to the facts, presenting evidence and avoiding broad generalization helps. People often talk about controversial topics without being censored.

Many Reddit moderators straight up ban people who post stuff they don't agree with.
Do people really think that watching other people have sex is "healthy"?
> Not sure what you mean here.

I mean automatic tools to move windows. I use BetterTouchTool with a lot of custom gestures to handle my windows. With this I mean for example swiping with 5 fingers to the left moves and resizes the window to take up 25% of the screen on the left side. And so on so forth. I rarely drag my windows around anymore, it's second nature at this point.

> I use a mouse and full keyboard. I've never been able to interact with the mac well without them.

With BetterTouchTool (I just tried this) I can set e.g. fn+mouse click to toggle a move state on a window. So the window you tapped (anywhere within) will now follow your mouse until you click again.

It can also simply teleport your window to wherever you fn+clicked.

There are unlimited options within this app by itself.
Just flag it. I really don't think your proposed headline would have gotten any traction here and would have immediately dropped off the front page.
I personally think it would definitely be useful to use the metric even without monetary value - imagine Reddit communities where the contributors have real, direct influence over rules, moderation style, mod team.
He didn't exit class A, he didn't hold it in the first place. Instead, he converted a small percentage of his class B into class A, and sold it.
Aggregation at the moment. I suppose you can add your own RSS feeds?
Tried running "format c:". It didn't work. So much for reality part.
Automatics can engine brake -- but in response to the person above who couldn't do it -- they typically do not exhibit that behavior in the default drive gear for fuel economy. (although some torque-converter automatics with inclination sensors will automatically engine brake on downhill grades) Most torque-converter automatic transmission also have selectors for holding particular gears to allow the operator to command engine braking behavior.

As the other person mentioned, the quote you are citing means that you shouldn't spin the wheels of an automatic while the engine is not spinning. The input shaft of an automatic transmission typically drives the transmission's lubrication pump. If you spin the output shaft of a transmission of this design without spinning the input shaft, you are rotating the mechanism without lubrication.
Thank you!
I agree -- most sites on the web are just content and there's no reason to have excessive JavaScript or any reason why the page can't be perfectly functional without it.

That's the job of news organizations and journalists who have access to experts to verify the information. Also, it seems like Facebook is just a scapegoat here. IMHO, The real problem is that people on both sides of the political spectrum are re-sharing "news" that they have zero idea if its true or not.
Yes, it's very funny isn't it? OWS wasn't about an emergency, it was about a long-term chronic problem with no obvious immediate solution everybody could agree on. OWS also wasn't in the middle of a pandemic demanding something Congress had already, practically unanimously done in a heartbeat. So funny that it didn't result in any legislation.

I solve the spam problem by having my own domain with an infinite number of email addresses. Whenever I sign up for something I use $PERMUTE@mydomain.com, where PERMUTE is some easily-reversible permutation of the vendor's own name.

This has two benefits: I can easily route/filter incoming email from that vendor, and if I ever receive spam at that address I know which vendor sold my info.
That’s class A shares. He got those by converting some of his class B shares.

"Uber is absolutely not on the scale of those companies, and most of the time they should probably be using off-the-shelf solutions when they become available."

I agree, but I'd also add that the state of the world in 2016 when most of these infra projects were launched is very different from the state of the world in 2020. Back then, uber was not easily able to run on a bunch of OSS/cloud native solutions, but now for sure its not just possible but likely the best/most responsible way to do it [source: worked there for 4+ years]

Gmail blew our collective minds when they started with, what, 1 GB free? And the gimmicky counter on the login page showing increasing storage free forever at some rate of a few more kilobytes per second.

I agree that I don't trust anyone to tell me what is true, but there is a base level of fact-checking that is beneficial: Remove anything that is completely fabricated and makes claims without a single shred of evidence. There is absolutely no need for this type of "news." No organization can definitely curate the truth, but almost any can sweep out the garbage.

Ah yes. Let's have Facebook be the arbiter of truth; after all, their behavior so far is nothing short of the pinnacle of ethics, wisdom, and transparency.

Let's not worry about how that could backfire at all or the countless times that the "correct" opinion has turned out to be wrong. The truth is too flimsy to stand on its own. We must protect our inferiors from wrongthink.
On the internet it's your god given right to shout fire in a theatre.
Not only do experts disagree, but the prevailing wind of expert advice can change dramatically. In less than a month we went from being told coronavirus wasn't spread from human contact and masks kill you, to now it's highly infectious, you should wear a mask everywhere and the ventilators we'd been putting you on might be killing you faster. If FB thinks they can figure out how to censor counterfactual posts in that kind of climate, they are fools.

Yesterday this post was locked, and so many of the comments were removed by mods with no self-aware irony at all - I just checked and saw very few [REMOVED] posts, I think they removed the evidence they removed them - crazy. Check ceddit.

Two mods, Cyxie and AwkwardTheTurtle moderate 1196 subreddits. They have more control over content on reddit than Sinclair Media has over news stations.

There is an entire global industry of physical toys. Many targeted at adults.

Facebook is only different in that it exists in the non-physical domain. It's still a pass-time toy.
Sun didn't have a monorepo -- at least not 1998 through the acquisition. Each org of a given size (Solaris os/net, install, etc) had its own separate island of source with its own build and test systems.

It’s not risk mitigation, more a risk swap between “unknown risk”—we don’t know if this third-party product is going to meet our future needs—and “known risk”—we have full control while we are willing to write checks to fund it.

In the latter case there’s still plenty of risk: you might be spending valuable time building something that doesn’t work, is obsoleted by future change or future products; and the one that most people dismiss, you will be at the mercy of its creators. The people who build your critical technologies will have power over the organization you might regret later, and if they do leave, finding replacements can be hard and/or expensive.

How about "Zoom CEO sold 0.5% of his stock", which would be just as accurate but less compelling. He sold $24m, still has roughly 4 billion.
You're right about my assumptions, I apologize. Without knowing specifically what you do, I can't say if GPUs would make sense.

But I don't agree that many workloads could be moved to GPUs cost effectively. It's very hard to feed work in fast enough to keep the GPU busy enough to be cost effective given the limited amount of GPU memory you have to work with.
It's horrible advice! It sets a standard that cannot possibly be met, not without defining some "other" class and methodically and persistently crushing them.

Only allowing "true" information on any platform (or in any form of discourse, really) is effectively impossible given the subjective nature of truth. Philosophers have spent their lives arguing this topic, a tech giant isn't about to answer that question.
I'm not deeply familiar with Syncthing but here are some differences based on what I do know:

- Hyperdrive includes mass-publishing as a usecase, so it uses public-key URLs and a bandwidth-sharing mechanism among its active peers (like BitTorrent)

- Hyperdrive is built on a general-purpose protocol called Hypercore which is a signed append-only log. These logs can be used for other datastructures. Some examples [1] [2]

Why just stop at Facebook? All businesses operate on the model where they take dirty money and try to do clean things with at least some of that money. Heck, most charities operate this way. Let's just make everyone transparent. We should know if the Red Cross is receiving money from Smith and Wesson. Bad individuals and corporations make donations to good causes all the time. You can think of it as moral outrage, but personally I think of it as reparations.

The consequences of that action will be as follows: Most of these businesses AND charities will drown in the moral outrage and close their doors. And that will have a detrimental impact on society, because the good that those businesses/charities did will go with the bad.

Facebook has one powerful good use case. It makes it trivially easy to connect with relatives and friends far away from us. There are other platforms out there, but until Facebook, there wasn't much, and even now, Facebook is the simplest and most convenient of them all. If Facebook dies, this good use case goes with it.
