See, that's what serious discussion brings about. Now I am fully on board with the idea that dragon has a long cultural history and is appropriate to use on loong or 龙.

The sad part is that the down voting is plainly distasteful.

I hope people see the importance to maintain the right behavior pattern to enoucrage high quality discussion.
I can understand if MS Teams was some indie dev. Surely MS can just hire more developers?
I mean, you are talking about making a goddamn text editor faster — it’s just ridiculous. There should be no lag whatsoever when it comes to UIs in 2021.
Old Reddit and RES were the only things that kept Reddit tolerable. Even then, I still got bored of the community in the subreddits I was subscribed to and left. Perhaps I ought to spend the rest of my Gold credits I bought in 2014 before actually deleting my account.
>I did not read his post as being anti-Jewish

It is a non sequitur that negatively generalizes Jews as guilty of the actions committed by a very small subset of Jews. This is anti-Semitic. It is similar to coming into the comments of a post about Ramadan and declaring that Muslims are terrorists.
>complete capitulation to censorship at a corporate level.

sigh

I would still use Reddit and put up with all the bad UI design and dark patterns if it wasn't for the censorship. I miss the pre-2016 election reddit when it was still full of pedantic types who would have long debates in comment threads where they would break each other's arguments down line by line. I wasn't strongly in favor of one belief or another, but it taught me a lot about forming arguments and persuasive writing that English classes never taught me. Back in those days you would still see productive debates between left-wing and libertarian types. Now with all the gold and comment badges discussion has devolved down to who can make the wittiest, snarkiest one liner that will get them rewarded.

I was the EM for Reddit's Growth team around this time. I am responsible for / contributed to a few features like the current signup flow, AMP pages, push notifications, email digests, app download interstitials, etc.

There was a new product lead who joined with many good ideas, but some of them were dark patterns that I heavily protested. After a few months of this, it was obvious that I was going to be reigned in or let go[0]; I immediately transferred to a different org.

Now let me explain the other side of the story. 4 years later, Reddit's DAU, MAU, and revenue have all grown at ridiculous rates[1]. Yes, power users complain—and still continue using the site—but the casual user does not. These dark patterns have been normalized on other websites.

These practices are done because it works.

_____

0: They changed it so I would report to the product lead, which is odd for an EM to report into a product chain and the only instance within the company ever.

1: Many friends are startup founders and I've been at a few startups myself—a byproduct of being in the Bay Area—and Reddit's growth numbers are impressive. As a former employee, I am quite happy about my equity growth.
Rare Antique Fractal Vise [Restoration] – (for clamping irregular objects)
From what I know, reddit is not entirely to blame on its own on this. Apple's policy only lets the first party app open certain domains, like YouTube (please correct me if I'm mistaken) and Twitter. Overall, a decent workaround is an app called Opener (link to follow) which lets you switch to specific apps from the share sheet. Apollo also has this feature for reddit links specifically.

However, I do agree that reddit's behavior beyond that is obnoxious.

I’ve wanted to build something similar with Lambda. I ran an experiment recently and there is pretty good distribution of IP space on AWS Lambda… you could fan out to 20+ pretty easily.
Thank you for sharing! If you don’t mind - has anyone come back to you concerned about automated notes seeming disingenuous? (This could appear like a generic holiday card on what should be a more personal format) From you Medium post it clearly comes from the right place.

This is $6-8k used and probably out of scope.
I do not like the name "CommuniqAI".

Think about how a person would recommend this app to a friend.

A: "Hey, check this out, it's an app called 'CommuniqAI', it's great".
B: "How do I spell that?"
A: "C-o-m-m-u-n-i-q..."
B: "Sorry, I lost you, start over"
A: "It starts the same as Communism, but ism it ends in q-A-I"
B: "grrr, fuck it. I am going to install Signal or Telegram"

Don't make it harder for people to recommend your app.
Teams is shit.
I think that's exactly it.

I'd also like to add that, of all the claims made about incredible flight characteristics of these UFOs-- none of the videos are of anything like that.

Love the simple design. $.02 - absolutely require interaction / customization before the app sends messages. Reminding people to send is service enough, and creates an interaction opportunity to refine settings. But sending automatically requires asymmetric attention between sender and recipient - which is almost always bad news for relationships, soon or over time.
Yes, but it's a wrapper around clone(CLONE_VFORK | CLONE_VM) (aka vfork) + exec, which makes a big difference.

CLONE_VFORK means that the parent process is suspended until the child either exits or execs, and CLONE_VM means that no copy-on-write happens - the child has full read/write access to the original memory space until it execs (or exits). In the child, posix_spawn is careful to work within temporary memory so it doesn't overwrite anything that the parent process might care about, including global variables etc. Then once exec succeeds (or fails, and the process exits), posix_spawn in the parent cleans up that temporary memory.

This means that posix_spawn doesn't require any copy-on-write support from the kernel. Or in other words, there's no posix_spawn syscall and there shouldn't be because it's a library function, but there is a vfork syscall.
How is immutability supposed to help mitigate these bugs? This seems like the programmer just not encoding the allowed state change accurately. In the real world(tm) you should always update the state either through functions that make sure you are not reaching undesirable states or encode you state at the type level. This is completely orthogonal to immutability though.
Give the types useful names, like everything else. Recently I did a review for a new peer and was pleasantly surprised that they used proper names for generic arguments. At first I stumbled of course, because I wasn't used to generic arguments being longer than a few characters but I think it helped the readability a lot.

interface Functor {
<Source, Target> Self<Target> fmap(Self<Source>, Function<Source, Target>);

Same code, but you get an additional hint of what's going on.
If the changes are driven by their investor's desire to somehow monetise it, then this must be part of a longer term plan. So two questions:

1. How well is this working for them
2. If the answer to 1. is "not very", how long will they stick to this strategy.

They've been going at it for a couple of years now, so I imagine they're approaching the moment when they have to reassess how well things are going.

I wonder if we'll see a change of direction any time soon.
Adding lots, no. I agree with the grandparent.

Keeping the code simple, finding the right abstractions, untangling coupling, gets the most bang for the buck. See the “beyond pep8” talk for a enlightened perspective.

That said, lightweight testing and tools like pyflakes to prevent egregious errors helps an experienced dev write very productively. Typing helps the most with large, venerable projects with numerous devs of differing experience levels.

Just this week they changed "visit old reddit" to be under a "more" item in the menu. I am concerned that this is the first step to removing it for good. I don't know how to get my interaction data except on old reddit.
Dynamic dispatch is literally a runtime feature of a language. That's why it's called "dynamic". GP can absolutely use dynamic dispatch "all the time" in the sense that they use it regularly in their program, perhaps in every or nearly every program they write.

Your statement is verging on the nonsensical, like saying to someone "You don't use integers all the time, sometimes you use strings, they're different things." Well, duh?

No. It also matters to the users of the laptop and to the people who have to buy it, as using too much RAM can lead to slowness due to swapping and can make older laptops unusable.

+1 I would love this app if it did birthdays. I like sending texts, not FB messages, but it's a pain to check Facebook to see who's birthday it is and then find them in my address book. I'd love to sit down once and manually create a list of everyone I want to send a birthday text do, and then have this app either auto-send or notify me with a button to launch a blank text I can type to the person
> humanity developed in china is still popular

Factually wrong statement

1. The claim was that Chinese were developed in the China land. Not humanity as a whole

2. People do not take such claim seriously.

Your statement appears that majority or at least large number of Chinese support this ridiculous claim.
Thanks! I specifically left date reminders out as I felt these were better handled by a calendar. I have not heard about Monica, but will check it out. As for iOS, not anytime soon; Google is very restrictive when it comes to text messaging and calls and Apple is even more so.

Very nice! Congrats on launching. Pro-tip: do not let others know you have or use this. In general people will instantly devalue your outreaches, even though rationally that makes zero sense. You still think and care about them, but in a way that’s… you.
I simply use Slide For Reddit. Its open source, and available both on Play Store and Fdroid.
There's a need for services that get around this kind of censorship in the same way we have VPNs for state censorship. But the challenges are very different, obviously.

I remember helping a family member still in the community, but after I had left, using an email-as-the-browser service to get around the kosher phone some time back (not sure if this is still possible with the current kosher phone version). I realized something like that must exist so I found https://www.labnol.org/internet/receive-web-pages-by-email/1... for them. But that service doesn't seem to work anymore.

A different family member works on the opposite side, people call him to whitelist websites from their kosher filtering software so they can visit it. He has to check it out and then allows it if it is ok. But having these filters is a requirement for having a PC.
I'm going to stick with multiarm bandit testing.
Well

1. because it’s only due to the masks and endless testing the Covid death count is so low

2. Without the masks and endless testing, young people would infect many many older people, creating even more deaths

This isn’t a conspiracy. Doctors do want the least number of deaths in the community.
You prove my point, I.e., CCP can very well manage China's nationalism sentiment.
Oh - it's even better than that - I've never got the "open in app" to work, it just opens the app store, despite having the reddit app installed.

For me it is indeed the latter. I can glean a lot of interesting stuff from other languages as long as they look a bit familiar. Haskell I usually come to a dead stop pretty quickly.

I've tried to read up on some Haskell basics, but the main issue is I don't have any real incentive to use Haskell, I have other hobbies that are more tempting, so I forget pretty quick.

The Java-ish version of the Functor interface for instance was quite readable to me, ugly or not.
I think the problem is that the complexity analysis of adding is often easier, as opposed to subtracting. I.e. if I added an if statement, one can argue that you may need to only analyse that statement, while removing a bit of code may require analysing a much larger chunk of code. (it's obviously a simplification).
Adding is often a local solution, while subtracting can be a global. Since we all work under some time or cognitive pressures, it's not surprising that the additive solutions are used, where other ones would be better.
Crop failures, extreme climate changes we cannot mitigate the effects of cost effectively (coastal infra and housing). We depend on things that grow (both plants and animals) to survive ourselves.

I would not bet on this bringing people together, unless it’s the very well off (“the haves”) against those without who will be exposed to more suffering.

You summed up my own relationship with paper very well. I don't begrudge people who use it as their primary system, but all the advantages you describe (plus the fact that I can type for infinity while my hand cramps up after a page of writing) make digital the clear winner.

They're one of the most dishonest and awful companies in America. Who the fuck knows what the content even was.

The common connotation of "heavier-than-air flight" and "lighter-than-air flight" is that air is the medium in which the flight takes place, and that air is essential for the flight to happen. The science of aerodynamics is necessary for describing how such flight works.

That's not true for rockets. Rockets can fly in air, and a rocket's fins only work in air, but rockets don't have to use fins and rockets work fine in the vacuum of space. Because air is mostly irrelevant to rockets -- and rockets [in space at least] fly by principles that have nothing to do with aerodynamics -- rockets are not typically included in discussions of how "heavier-than-air flight" works.
>Or it was a way to sneak something inappropriate while pretending it was a reference.

I agree with the first point - but dont understand your second point. A reference to what? I don't understand

I was just giving you advice as if you were a younger me, it is not a personal attack just unwarranted advice, not sure why you would laugh. I mean't no disrespect in any case. I think its good to talk to people with counter arguments and I appreciate it. I just wish you didn't keep making points I don't quite understand and then moving onto another one - such as "talking with Kojima" himself is the only way to resolve any of what I believe are straight forward points.

But I appreciate your time in replying. Im just trying to avoid coding a particularly thorny issue in my hobby project.

Epidemics don't need marketing departments, something that is very obviously part of the equation with "the current one."
Every aircraft has the wing set at an incident angle relative to the axis of the fuselage. Usually to generate enough deflection force for level (relative to the fuselage) flight at cruising speed.

Upside down flight requires you to basically inverse this deflection, but it isn't because of Bernoulli lift.
You also add a report system and do additional inference based on reports, add a system where random player review matches. When your multiplayer games become very popular and making you money, you have to put the effort in, not install rootkits on paying customers computers.
Alright, that's fine, but the person I replied to was complaining that "Haskell folks love arrows and one letter variable names", and my point was that most programmers love one letter variable names in this context.
That too but the name is an important factor.

Evidence from your link:

Human–Computer Interaction, Preece et al. (1994, p. 6): The authors explicitly define perceived affordances as being a subset of all affordances, but another meaning is used later in the same paragraph by talking about "good affordance."

Universal Principles of Design, Lidwell, Holden & Butler (2003, p. 20): The authors first explain that round wheels are better suited for rolling than square ones and therefore better afford (i.e. allow) rolling, but later state that a door handle "affords" (i.e. suggests) pulling, but not pushing.
