Amazon's marketplace APIs are available to developers who register through a seller account. Pricing is $40 per month.

The main benefit of using the API is that you can request a LOT of data without hitting their rate limit. Unless you need to get dozens of results per second, you are usually better off with a spider (or just use Huginn). And if you are hit with a 503 and a captcha, gluing a free captcha solver with some middleware is a trivial task.
>Also how can they forget an option to “paste without formatting”

That's just Microsoft.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've wanted to actually retain source formatting. But, it's the default option on almost any microsoft product out there. And, apparently, on Teams it's not an option at all.

This probably means incompetency on the CDN’s part - Cloudflare has a detection rule for fake googlebots and it checks by doing reverse DNS to see if it’s really Google. Doing this trick is more likely to get your IP marked for spam, at least if you crawl CF sites with it.

There are many examples of monadic patterns used in other languages, in particular to encapsulate failure or nullable values. I've also seen a lot of codebases that have implemented a custom "pipeline" class that can be composed together, such that some transformation or effect occurs every time a value passes from one pipeline to another. These are usually monads too, allowing for some minor deviations from the formal definition.

Nevertheless language ecosystems outside Haskell, scala and F# don't recognise this as a general programming pattern, although given the current direction towards FP in the JavaScript and rust communities I think it's a matter of time.
LSD wasn't exactly created "by accident". Hoffman already knew that molecules with a similar structure had psychoactive effects, he was trying to maximize the potency.

I’m confused how many people don’t seem to realize this has nothing to do with experiencing the site.

The App gets a ton of personal data they can’t get on a website.

That’s all this is. Data collection. They need you to install the App so they can access your advertising ID, better link your IP and location to your account, get you to click permission allowance, etc.

Shooting their own experience in the foot is an acceptable sacrifice.

Is this implying there's more to the comment if I side-swipe?

Hrm. I think it's bugged.
Sounds like it has a speaker, microphone, and possibly motors for moving parts? Calling it "telepresence" is a bit of a stretch, though..
It barely helps at all (almost all your apps are pulling in telemtry/auth libraries from data brokers regardless of the permissions you give them) and the cost (no more personal computing.) is incredible.
I'll believe this is unexpected because I'm not a plant-ologist and don't really have well-calibrated expectations of desert plant response to temperature, but --

Isn't it like a known thing that photosynthesis stops happening at higher temperatures? I've been worried about the impact of days-over-100-degrees on crop production for years.

Is "unexpected" in this headline standing in for "now demonstrated in the wild, counter-intuitive if you don't know that biology is highly sensitive to temperature, expected by people in the field", or if I knew more about desert plant biology, would I be more shocked than I am now?

hm.. bad advice? Panic and fear block intelligence. Public-facing orgs get messaging all the time, by definition, so they are already in some state driven by self-interest, requirements, motivations and ability, to be overly general.

Instigating panic, fear, dread and a host of other human responses, by "agitating" .. is a physical option and really courts disasters of all kinds.

On the other hand, many thousands of reports generated in the last two decades, is also apparently not enough either.

Completely absurd. You obviously haven't read much of financial history or the history of banking. No one would ever want to trade banking now for the late 19th century.

I assume that the argument is that pros can compensate recoil to some extent (i.e. the game doesn't just add increasingly random offsets to the trajectors but actually moves the crosshair and you can move it back if you're fast enough). If so then a cheat only has to simulate sufficiently realistic inputs based on the pixel outputs of the game, which is practically undetectable if you do it on external hardware. The only advantage the game devs would have is a larger amount of data they can use to determine what passes as realistic. And how are they going to identify false positives?

It seems to me that Electron is a scapegoat here - VS Code is built on Electron and is super snappy and responsive for me, even on large projects. This means two things:

1. Even complex Electron apps can be performant and responsive

2. Microsoft as a company has people that know how to make this happen.

The reality is (speaking as a former MSFT employee) that the Teams and VSCode orgs are so far separated that they might as well be in different companies. The average quality of devs and their respective management chains varies WILDLY across organizations, and given how shitty Teams has been and continues to be, I think it's fair to say one or both of these factors is at play here.
Essentially yes. A million million is a trillion btw lol.

Native is not a tool, nor a goal. Native is an implication of a user experience and performance. Very few non-native applications provide the same experience and performance as native applications (although there are exceptions and it's not always black and white).

"Native" is the implication that a certain level of comformity is present: the user generally gets an experience that is similar to other native applications.

As you develop with native APIs, and when you follow the best practices for the platform, you end up with a product where the UX is much easier to grasp for the user.
Non-native solutions very often have different UI/UX patterns, which leads to users having to learn these patterns before the application becomes understood by them.
LOL. You don't know shit, these craft are real and have been under development for nearly a century. They're going to fly one low over a US city eventually when it's time for a big funding boost.
Lurkers will always outnumber posters on any forum I think, but I have to believe Reddit has a worse ratio than most because the echo chambers are so strong and anything outside of them is downvoted to oblivion.

And it's easy to feel engaged by just reading threads mindlessly upvoting or downvoting endlessly.
Not really, most popular websites block any requests coming from curl
Customer acquisition cost. Basically: total spend / total new customers.
C++ can introduce bugs by obscuring the flow of code, but it can also alleviate many instances by having proper abstraction power. It’s about balance.

I would say both C and Go falls into the “most lines are readable, but the whole is not” camp, due to not enough abstraction. For smaller programs one can hold in memory it may be good, but it doesn’t scale.
Fully agree with everything in TFA. I'm an occasional Reddit user, and almost exclusively a lurker. But over the past few years they have been making it more and more intolerable to use, especially on mobile.

The most recent things have been blocking you completely from subreddits, and blocking you completely from threads below the second level (you hit "read more", and get a popup).

And beside the many dark patterns, there are also "stupid patterns" - for example, in a thread of only 20 comments or so, it only load about 4 by default. And if you want to load more from below a thread, it does a full page reload, now showing you only that subthread!

It really is an absolutely maddening experience, that must surely serve to drive users away and make them hate it?! For one of the biggest sites in the world, I just can't fathom how unbelievably bad the whole design is - every part of it!

And as only an occasional user, I don't want to install their shitty app (which requires a Reddit account).

Years back I used to actually like Reddit - now, I fucking hate it :-/

People have been saying “I’ve never seen interest rates this low in my life” for the last few decades. Also, much of the debt could be tied to long-term loans in which case the overall interest rate would not move much.
Are we talking in circles here? My original point was that memory safety should be ensured by the OS/hardware. That way no matter how badly my program misbehaves, it will not be able to access memory outside of the sandbox. In other words, the CPU should not be able to address memory which has not been allocated to the current process. A buffer overflow should be a panic.

Even with a safe language, there's vulnerabilities like supply chain attacks which allow malicious code to use an escape hatch to access memory outside of the process. I.e. I could be programming in Rust, but one of the crates I depend on could silently add an unsafe block which does nefarious things. OS/hardware level sandboxing could prevent many such classes of exploits.
Is there a more intuitive word for "affordances" or similar? I find its definition is always debated or confused in the comments so I prefer to avoid it where possible.
I didn't say that. Learning Haskell may help the budding learner, though won't enforce the monadic laws.
I don't attribute any malice either. I can't remember where I read it but I heard somewhere earlier this year that Reddit was trying to fix it.

It doesn't matter what option he was looking for (maybe nearby share, messaging, etc as shown in a latter image). The point being made is that it wasn't in the first screen and the fact that there were more options (and how to reach them) was not hinted by the interface in any way. Adding to that the expected way of interacting didn't work and only by chance he managed to figure it out.

From the article:

Yeah, sorry, unclear: Not for the author to pass judgment, but the reader.
True, ui action discoverability is harder these days, but somehow I learned to swipe to delete, but I don’t know how. Maybe I was told, or saw a video? My point is, that the interactions are common enough that I think most people learn them from other people, whereas in the early days of personal computers guides were important because users had no previous knowledge, nor anyone else, to turn to.

I thought a good idea might be to get some very very talented ux/ui/illustration folks together with a few people who are well versed in the various aspects of climate change, and take the time to make a very succinct, easy to understand and beautiful microsite that shows the coalescing of all of the aspects of change that result in a crisis. I think if people can see them all together and understand how the positive feedback loops are connected, it would help people think individually about what aspects they could realistically tackle, as well as the magnitude of the problem.

People can very clearly see the system is falling to bits, but I'm not sure most people understand it's actually a group of interconnected systems. I mean, they know, but I don't believe it's easy for people to wrap a mental model around all this. I also think there are still very many people who believe it will not affect them meaningfully within their lifetime.
I actually ran into the same problem with YouTube's interface on iOS, it made me so angry I actually recorded a video to show people how stupid this is:

I knew this was going to happen. Scientists, especially prominent ones, have huge egos and love to make strong statements ("proof", "smoking gun") even when they talk out of their ass. Combine that with the virulent anti-Trumpism and it's not hard to see how the media could report what they did.

No, they're preventing 3rd-party apps from actually replacing the system share pane for other apps. An app can still choose to implement their own in-app share menu instead of using the system one.
>I do dynamic dispatch all the time in strongly typed languages.

I believe semantics is getting in our way of communicating.

You don't do dynamic dispatch ___ALL___ the time. You only do it at runtime. And you only do static type safety at compile time. Those are different times.

You can't have both of those features at the __SAME TME__, therefore you can't have both features ALL the time. They are mutually exclusive.

Yep. Was in a Teams meeting last week.

Audio mixing is poor compared with Zoom, any background noise on an active microphone will cut out another person speaking.

The controls menu keeps changing. Click on the "raise hand" icon and it disappears, you can't "lower your hand" until it reappears some random time later.
Do you need a Reddit account to use the unofficial apps? Also, I prefer to search Reddit content from Google - will Reddit links open in one of those apps, instead of giving me the usual shitty Reddit Web UX?
Surely you mean 45°? 90° is rather extreme.
That was kind of my point, it's a behavior across any industry, it's not specific to marketing, or dev shops, finances, law...

The thing with consultancy it's kind of what you've said: they've built models/systems that kind of work with minor tweaks and sell it to other companies.

It's done because the perception of building those systems from the ground up seem more expensive then to get it "installed"... which might be true for many scenarios, but for others, it might not.
I'm surprised that there isn't a version of the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension for old.reddit.com. Especially now that they had to trim features to support the redesign.

These kinds of issues are readily seen when writing low-level code that runs close to the hardware: network packet handling, device drivers, cross compilers, etc.

When porting these kinds of code to different / newer architectures it immediately becomes apparent if the code was written with portability in mind or not.

These Ada features seem really nice for low-level code portability. Do any other languages have similiar features?
Modern humans as hunter gatherers may or may not have six packs (depends mostly on body fat percentage, which would be smaller in bad times), but they are very much not-bodybuilders. The # of protein to build and maintain a bodybuilder-like level of muscle is only available to people from sedentary civilizations, and only to some of them.

The Neanderthals were probably more robust than we are, but it might also have spelt their doom: H. sapiens sapiens could operate more efficiently within the same natural constraints.

BTW Do not be that much annoyed, a high BMI is a source of its own problems even if that person is lean and not fat. For example, our knees and hips are not designed to carry too much weight. I wouldn't like to cross BMI of 25 or 26 ever.

According to the wikipedia article you linked, those estimates were derived from simulations. I have trouble imagining that the simulations accurately model the diversity of human cultures, mating patterns, migration behaviors, etc. for the whole world over, spanning hundreds of thousands of years. If we sequenced the genome of every single person on earth, we'd still have trouble nailing down the truth because of various external sources of mutation, independent but identical mutation, etc.

Not slowly, or recently.

The big removal of affordances happened with IOS 7, and Jony Ive's "flat" UI aesthetic. Don Norman and Bruce Tognazzini, former Apple UI researchers and champions of UI affordances, wrote an essay[1] complaining about this problem in 2015.
