To be honest, you still do need to grok the difference between native and quilt packages, and, in case of the latter, know that you need to put your patches into `debian/patches/` instead of directly modifying the source tree. And if you started by cloning the packaging from a git repo, you may need to know what pristine-tar is as well.

A well-written tutorial will explain that to you quickly, but there's definitely more friction than with PKGBUILD files where you can pretty much just look at the contents of the file and edit it directly without second thoughts.
After listening to Mike Duncan's excellent "History of Rome" podcast, one of the repeated themes I noticed is that during periods when the Romans were more racist/classist/etc they had trouble. Their periods of greatest success were when they let people with the necessary skills and talent rise to the top regardless of their origin.

That said, they definitely had problems with failing to culturally assimilate immigrants during the late empire -- when "citizens" of the empire didn't think of themselves as Roman but instead primarily part of some other group.

I'd be shocked if more than 10% of the people investing in crypto on Robinhood know what a stable coin is. I bet a fairly high percentage of total crypto investors (not by amount of crypto, but count of individuals investing) are on Robinhood. I'd expect that other casual-friendly trading platforms with crypto support are similarly skewed toward people who don't know much about the space, though probably not quite as much as Robinhood is.
I just found that there is setting checked in the menu (for anonymous and authenticated users) called "Ask to Open in App." I find it kind of curious that they would offer an option.

The scariest thing to me about climate change is the rate at which it is happening. We bought a house in the Bay Area 11 years ago. It didn't have air conditioning. The builder said we wouldn't need it. We added a unit anyway and for the first few years we barely used it, maybe one or two weeks out of the year to cool the top floor on exceptionally hot days, which back then was the low 90s.

Since then, 100-plus-degree days have been happening more and more regularly. We're adding a second AC unit because there have been days that the first one just can't keep up. All this in 11 years.

This keeps me up at night too:

https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/17/us/earth-trapped-heat-doubled...

There was a time when I was fairly sure that climate change would lead to the collapse of civilization, but there was no way I'd live to see it. Now I'm not so sure about the latter.

[UPDATE] There is also the sobering realization that even if we brought carbon emissions to zero tomorrow (which is obviously not going to happen) even that would not actually solve the problem. We're at 50% over pre-industrial CO2 with no viable way of getting rid of it, so at best it's going to stay that way for a long, long time.
> The main questions: Considering all the bad practices, why people keep using Reddit and what makes it so great? Why people make custom clients instead of looking for a full-fledged alternative?

Critical mass, and inertia. Reddit has already captured by far the largest share of foum users, and that isn't going to change any time soon.

I'm only an occasional user, generally arriving via a Google search, and it's the sheer quantity of posts that keep my searches hitting Reddit. Doesn't mean I like the UI/UX or their dark patterns tho - I can't bloody stand them!

> But real long-term solution is of course, make it a felony to not have a provable permanent address

Maybe not a felony. That makes the situation worse. I've been promoting the idea that: if you are arrested or arraigned (not even convicted) and don't have a permanent address you are transported to an unincorporated part of the state. Making it a misdemeanor to participate (either side) in begging/pan-handling would also help.

If you aren't going to participate, you are de-facto opting out of the community benefits. If you want social services to function, make sure you are willing to give then a perm address. Following rules and being functional in society is what this whole waste of resources has been about.

Note: One side of my wife family are these kind of people who don't follow "the rules" paranoid that the govt is watching them while being subsidized by the govt. They are living in filth from Needles CA to trailers (water trailer + living trailer) out in a flat, dead, parcel of desert near Bullhead AZ. At least they have addresses.
alpha fold was developed at deepmind, not google, they didn't solve the protein folding problem, and it's not surprising that drug discovery companies didn't reach a similar level of accuracy first.

There are a plenty of rebuttals to the Tether criticism, but on sites like Hacker News no one bothers anymore. It's not worth dealing with the vitriol and downvotes to even try.

That being said I also have concerns about Tether, but I think they are way overblown.
When and where it's a priority: creating a solid user-experience takes effort. If a project can't manage that when it matters, then their product or service is also going to suck in so many other ways their users will notice. Then native or not, it won't matter when everyone hates them.

Reddit has completely jumped the shark in its UI design, the 'direction' its taken, and its basically complete capitulation to censorship at a corporate level. Its interesting to that they haven't IPO'd yet, because in my view, its a zombie carcass waiting for its replacement to find its way onto the net.

There has always been a place, a need, and a demand for anonymous, free form discussions on the internet. Craigslist community posts (those are still a thing too), Fark, SomethingAwful, Digg, Reddit, and yes, Hackernews. I get that there are difficulties in managing an anonymous community, especially in a world where things can go so toxic. But reddit is a walking corpse waiting to be taken over by a better product. Everything about the site, the community, the company is hot garbage, but there is no better alternative, so it walks on.
It would be interesting if it turns out reddit has a team to flood new competitors with unsavory accounts. It's exactly what they did when they started reddit, just with positive fake accounts instead of negative.

"Huffman said one other strategy proved crucial to Reddit’s early success, which most people are unaware of: The team submitted a ridiculous amount of content under fake user accounts to give the appearance of popularity."

...

“The first thing it did was it set the tone,” by the activity it displayed to visitors, Huffman said. “We were submitting content that we would have been interested in seeing. That meant the content on Reddit … was good. And when you show up , you know exactly what the site is about.”

Absolutely. Polite discourse is the most effective way. Often it's better to write nothing at all than to write something in anger.

I was modeling my thoughts on the hundreds of thousands of Net Neutrality comments that were received by the FCC a few years ago. That they doctored the perception (using bots) that the proportion of submissions against upholding net neutrality was higher than it really was is another story..

Security theatre. Not a theatre.
Notice that it is actually df/da = (pi/a) - (1/a) (1-a^2)/(1+a^2) int_0^pi (1 - (1-a^2) / (1 + a^2 + 2 a cosx) dx.

It is that right integral that is equal to -pi (1+a^2)/(1-a^2).

So when you add you get:

pi/a - 1/a (1-a^2)/(1+a^2) * (-pi (1+a^2)/(1-a^2)) =
pi /a - (-pi/a) = 2 pi/a
It all goes to shit when the game requires an anticheat on Windows like EAC.

Exactly how I feel, been through the loop at least 5 times now.
you’re not alone and it’s a common complaint. along with the complaint that toggling “opt out of redesign” is constantly coming untoggled randomly and without warning. This doesn’t even happen between browser sessions where one would think a cookie got dropped, it can happen simply between pages. one moment you’re using old reddit, click a comment link, boom..you’re back on the redesign and having to change the setting again.
> That is nonsense, otherwise the driver would have to be loaded at boot time, which in turn would mean installing a game would need a reboot which just isn't the case these days.

Riot Games' anti-cheat Vanguard (for LoL and Valorant) loads early during boot, requires a reboot after installing and if I recall correctly they now allow unloading it (because who wants to do banking with a rootkit loaded) but then require a reboot before playing again.

Why would you overcomplicate your life and use something like the autofree example, that is not even portable, if you can use the heap which is simple to understand and do? I understand that if it is a hot function you may run into memory fragmentation/performance issues, but there are some many ways to deal with that with custom allocators if it truly is a problem. This is one of those perfect examples where simple is better IMHO

It keeps forgetting for me too. That is to say, in my mobile browser and desktop browser I opt out of the redesign in favor of the old.reddit.com design, but about once per month it'll just revert back to the redesign. I don't think my cookies are being cleared because I'll stay logged in and I've never found any other setting that flips in the same way, it is only the Redesign opt-out that does this.

I don't know how to explain why many people say "this never happens to me" and other people say "this happens frequently."

While I'm on the subject, another grey pattern the article missed is the button to opt out of the redesign on mobile. When clicking the hamburger menu there used to be a button at the bottom called (iirc) "Opt out of Redesign." The same option exists today except they've moved it into a Settings submenu and renamed it "Request desktop site" which implies it's a temporary change.

Lastly, if you search you'll find threads where people say the web pages are sometimes rendered without any opt out button. I just opened an incognito window to test this and I simply cannot find a button to revert to the old design, even when using my mobile browser's Desktop Mode. So unless a visitor knows about old.reddit.com they are forced to use the new design.

This is such a horrible and dangerous ideology. To tell someone stuck in a rut that the rut is perfect and just where they need to be? I couldn't think of a more harmful message. OP has turned himself into a person he doesn't want to be. The solution is to change himself, not to accept that being alone and empty and unattractive is actually normal and beautiful. That's the kind of thing you say to people with no hope to make them feel better, not something you give as advice to a healthy young man who has all the potential in the world to come out of his shell.

To OP and anyone in his situation, please do not get sucked into this thought pattern. It's very easy to convince yourself that simply not changing anything is the answer; not changing is easy and wouldn't it be great if I could take the soma pill and be content with my circumstances as they are? You know this is bullshit, so don't allow yourself to do it.
Recently there are posts from designers about bringing back blurred/gradient edges of scrollable content. Hopefully the trend gets momentum (pun not intended).
Abstractions (Functors, Monads, and otherwise) beg the question of "What value is this providing", in context of a specific problem. If the cognitive complexity added by an abstraction is worth the value it provides, I'll use it. If not, I won't.

Example: I do mostly embedded prgramming, in Rust. My focus is on building working devices. I use abstractions and build APIs that are useful for solving specific problems I have now, or anticipate in the future. Eg an init function for an ADC that does the register writes described in the reference manual, so I can write `let adc = Adc::new()` instead of a series of reg writes.

It's common in embedded rust programming to make heavy use of generics, traits etc, and other things that leverage the type system to make it so that as many mistakes are caught at compile time as possible.

This sounds great in theory, but if a given abstraction makes type signatures a mess, doesn't allow me to configure a pin correctly due to an edge case, and provides no advantage if I QC I'm using the right pin, I won't use it. I see these Haskell examples as using abstractions by default, without questioning whether it's appropriate for a given use.

The Reddit mobile web experience is so obviously bad that I can only assume it's intentional.

There must be some huge incentive for Reddit to push users toward the mobile app. Most likely, the app allows for higher or more accurate monthly active user counts and enables more targeted advertising, both of which are critical to increasing advertising revenues.

Reddit is in a difficult spot because they're mostly an ad-supported business but their users are vehemently opposed to advertising and any forms of tracking. They have to tip-toe around all of the advertising and user tracking that they do. Strangely, their users mostly seem to give them a pass on the tracking. Their users are relatively trustworth, viewing Reddit as far more trustworthy of a company than Facbeook, despite the two companies having largely similar business models.

> That way no matter how badly my program misbehaves, it will not be able to access memory outside of the sandbox

The problem is not about memory outside of the sandbox, but inside. Please read about return-oriented programming, for example, where a buffer overflow bug of a process can be exploited to hijack said process to do work it was not meant to do normally. If this error happened for example in sudo, it can very well be used to gain privileges and do real harm — and this whole problem domain is almost entirely solved by using a “safe” language.
