It's weird. I was a huge user of Reddit from its launch to 2013 when I fell off the Internet. I didn't use it again until 2021, so I had a big jump in UI. As a UX designer I really don't get all the hate about the current interface. It works great for me.
I’m married to a teacher who’s taught at public and charter schools, mostly Title I. There are many areas they’d like to do better but I certainly haven’t seen anything which fits the unsourced “daycare” label and the other kids we know in, for example, a poor rural district also have not had that experience so I’d like some supporting evidence that this is a widespread problem.
That could be part of the reason why 85% drop in power consumption only leads to twice the perfomance.
Its always best to work with the stack you are most familiar with. So for me that would

1. FeathersJS for backend [1]

2. Postgres DB

3. Angular for front end + bootstrap

4. Postmark for transactional email (for new signup email verification, forgot password, 2-factor login) [2]

5. Digital Ocean for VPS

6. Ansible for deploying everything (server hardening, UFW for firewall) + Digital Ocean Firewall

7. Namecheap for domain

8. DNS configuration done on Digital Ocean

Typescript for both Angular and FeathersJS

I've done this a few times and all together it would take me about 3 - 5 hours.

You can see my old ansible playbooks here https://github.com/bjacobt/digitalocean-ubuntu-ansible-setup

An old multi-tenant feathers JS sample application is here

Edit: Add server hardening + formatting + github links
I'm beginning to see why they banned several subreddits and accounts, began forcing people to use the app, had tons of front page content re-upped as bootlegs from tiktok, and then turned the place into a Frankenstein of all the other social media sites.. Finally the truth comes to light... Whelp... Thanks for the fish, it was nice until it tanked about 2 years ago.
Not sure if you replied before or after my edit to clarify. Apple has the capability to consistently enforce its rules here, unlike law enforcement, and does not appear to be doing so.

I personally think all such apps should be blocked. What bothers me is the inconsistency, or the opaqueness that means we cannot determine whether or not there is an inconsistency.
I was a huge Peter Jackson fan prior, due primarily to Meet the Feebles (still my secret guilty pleasure), and it was just so bizarre to see him move from low budget camp like MTF and Dead Alive, to a $300million dollar massive endeavor.

From my very limited experience as a DP on several friends low budget films, the organizational efforts to produce a film the size of LOTR is lightyears beyond films like MTF. Of course later films like The Frighteners or Heavenly Creatures probably helped him build up to being able to manage that.
I feel the same with Helvetica and NYC subway signs.
You know who really has blood on their hands? The fools and liars who burnt and looted my country for a year. You see now that the people you championed are animals. They are starting to murder you. Now it's a problem.

If you want justice, let Chauvin go. Floyd's drug dealer was in the car. They didn't call the cops because of the counterfeit bill, which is a scam drug dealers do. They addict you, drive you around and make you commit crimes in exchange for drugs. They're really grooming you to be a murderer. Floyd passed out. They thought they were going to be robbed. They called the cops. Floyd's drug dealer, Ellison's star witness, made Floyd eat a whole bag of elephant tranquilizer. Floyd resisted in the back of the cop car when he kicked it like crazy. Floyd got on the ground himself. Floyd resisted on the ground by not following commands. He rolls out in the street, car crash.

You boosted that video to win the White House. Now the animals got away from you. Perhaps you have it wrong. Every time "savior civil rights" comes, the leash is loosened, and someone gets bit.

"I guess I'm satisfied now."

F** you. Punk. Crook. Liar. Cheat. Murderer. Where were you when Floyd was a junkie overdosing and in prison a dozen times over?

Remember this. Everything you burnt. Everything you wasted. Remember your wanton hate when you ask why is there no cure for your horrible agonizing disease.
It seems to be okay in the Regular weight, but are definitely off for the other 3. It's these kinds of things that drive me bonkers. I recently went through months of trying out fonts for a brand, and the font ultimately chosen has a very similar issue. The font contains so many ligatures that get replaced automatically when certain character combinations are used, yet the basic spacing between letters is odd.
I don't know what you're talking about.

Reddit is lightning fast, and is very stable...

...oh. I got it! You might be trying to use the dumpster fire that's https://reddit.com

Ignore that, and head over to the actually functional Reddit at https://old.reddit.com

It's like HackerNews in terms of performance. You can still set it as default.

The "new" UI they have is unusable, and may God have mercy for the poor souls that walk into it.
The thing is I don't understand why I want to see the recap
You may want to consider looking for malware on your network.
It was known since the 1850s that the perihelion precession of Mercury is a few percent larger than predicted by Newtonian mechanics. This even led to speculations that there might be another undiscovered planet ("Vulcan") in a close orbit around the sun. In 1916 Einstein calculated that this effect could be fully explained by General Relativity. Another famous prediction is that of the deflection of light that passes close to a star. This was confirmed by Eddington during the 1919 solar eclipse.
There is a fascinating, ongoing natural experiment related to education reform & school choice happening on the ground, right at this time.

Consider the post-katrina education in New Orleans. Sarah Carr (reporter & author) does a good job of summarizing the landscape, which include wins, [1] and concerns [2]

It started with the massive failure of education post-katrina. Public schools were left hollow, unable to restart. Entrenched interests simply walked away from their power bases.

Career bureaucrats were left with students.. and not much else: No obvious way, or know-how, to re-start the assembly line of public education. Thus, said govt pragmatists were left no choice (and critically - faced no repercussions) , except to haphazardly adopt school choice as the education standard for the city.

The bad of F# is trying to find work in F#. I have the freedom to choose F# at work but it often seems like the wrong choice. If I want a web app I'm pulling in so many extra dependencies.
Depends on your product and industry. At low volumes you can get an app running on a Pi quickly. And it already has wifi and bluetooth. Plus lots of available expansion boards. Power is usually not a concern for industrial equipment.

The Pi Zero and Pi Zero W were used in a ton of IoT devices.
The apple pie was delicious, though. Totally worth it.
Barcode HAT for Pico: Bright ideas for brilliant labels
The tradeoff makes sense mostly for many-party calls - for a 1:1 call sending multiple resolutions is a waste, but for a many participant call the downlink bandwidth usage becomes much larger than the uplink.

You layer idea is called SVC and is mentioned in the article. But VP8 doesn't support it, it is waiting on them to upgrade to VP9 or AV1.
It has horrible performance issues even on something like 11400f with a 3070Ti.
I use go migrate. I basically a tool that has a version number associated with a. Sql file. You write an upscript and a fow of script in Sql, commit that to source code. If you use the tool to deploy. It gets a lot for very little extra.
I know there is no flag library built-in in rust (I do quite a lot of rust as well as go). That's my whole point. It should be compared to something like https://github.com/urfave/cli . That would be a fairer comparison.
Aren't every one of those facts supposed to be the sort of thing that gets you downranked on Google? Slow pages, pages that don't load, pages appear in Google but when clicked present a logon wall?

I've posted on own blog on Reddit and found that a search for the exact title has, as the first hit, that reddit post. And my blog itself is on page three. It's infuriating.
The human population is finite, and exponential growth hits its bounds pretty quickly. In the long run, if you assume that most non vaccinated and a large part of the vaccinated will eventually get COVID (probably the case), then the 29% reduction in mortality does, actually result in a 29% reduction in mortality, and the exact same number of people will have been infected either way.

The difference will be in timing; the people will have been infected more quickly, with the (severe) problems that entails.
I know about gpt-j, can you name worthy clones/alternatives?
Nice, I hadn't heard of that [1]! I'm pretty indifferent towards owning a Blockchained micro-share of a publicly listed company, but I'd be very interested if reddit were to end up user-owned akin to the Packers

Same as when horse and buggies will come back in response to a disruption of the gasoline supply chain.
Exactly. My experience and opinion as well, but better explained that I could have.

My IDE helps a lot the typing of the error conditions and is collapsing it nicely. This is not the problem, but the error handling.
This is all their attention grabbing tricks -- by MBA style middle managers to juke the stats for their OKRs and KPIs. Reddit is to that part of their life-cycle where the soul gets crushed out for the capital (it's a re-run, you've seen it before).

I'd wager $1 that over the next few years Reddit becomes even more of an Attention-Vampire (or tries to)

It's almost feeling Reddit, Facebook, Twitter -- these "social" echo chamber sites are all getting to the contempt phase of life -- the next disruptor cannot come soon enough.
Lichess is the best thing that happened to chess since castling. Chess.com just grabbed a good domain name.
Last years huge dip due to COVID has been great for spinning all different kinds of narratives that fall apart when you look beyond last May. There are definitely those with vested interests in pushing the "economy is in tatters and spiralling out of control" angle, I'm sure you can think of some.
Thanks for the correction. I don’t know about federal court, but in (my) state court the judges really don’t care what the prosecutor wants. They go by the guidelines, the sentencing report, and how big of an asshole the defendant is. In my state Swartz would have gotten the usual - two years probation, restitution, no contact with victims.

Anyone do federal criminal work and can guess how the presentence report for Swartz might have read?
Original case:

> I like F# because it's the best programming training language I've found.... It still works great for making me think about and become a better programmer, no matter what language I use in everyday work.

I can understand how trying a range of language can make you a better programmer, by better appreciating the dimensions of language design and how it fits together, etc. but I have harder time accepting this stronger, more specific claim. There's not really any support for this claim in the article.
My kids are going to school right now in CA. It does feels like a daycare. Core curriculum, such as Math and English, is being downgraded with a frightening pace. All we hear is SEL, SEL, SEL. I don’t need my kids to learn SEL. At this point, I fail to understand what schools actually do in California.
Many of the points here don't necessarily have to do with the language, well at least to me and could easily have occured in other languages such as coding style. Sure - the language uses some sensible defaults and is somewhat pragmatic when to be pure and when to not. But in the end programming can get complex. Even if the language steers you towards practices that lower complexity (a productivity win) you still need to understand what is going on and use the right tool when appropriate.

On a side note the performance thing seems to be a myth to me. There's no reason C# or F# should be faster or slower than one another with enough effort given the same underlying runtime. Many of the functional features are moving to be lower/zero cost in F# (inline lambdas, state machines, etc). They all compile down to IL in the end so as long as you can get the IL you want does it matter? Sure it may be easier to express more performant code in one or another depending on the domain. I could argue many cases where F# was easier to write performant code (numeric, generic algo's, explicit inline functions, inline vs ref, tail rec, compile time polymorphism, avoiding virtual dispatch preferring static functions, etc) and vice versa (native interop, until recently specialised async/await, etc).
My research notes does try to pose some of your concerns as challenges (rather than pose them as impossibility):

> Yes we can certainly automate this or ...

See "4. How does a humanoid robot operate?": https://liuliu.me/eyes/research-notes-on-humanoid-robots/#4-...

> Lets not even limit ourselves to humans, any general purpose robot will never be able to compete with a task specific robot ...

See last two paragraphs of "Why": https://liuliu.me/eyes/research-notes-on-humanoid-robots/#wh...

Otherwise:

> Good luck, first of all how much energy can you pack in a humanoid robot after affording for actuators and the support structures? How long will the thing last on a single charge?

Probably somewhere around 30 min to 1 hour on a single charge. If we can fast charge, this probably would be sufficient for home-use or in some commercial settings.
If they get rid of old.reddit.com I won't be able to use it..just can't. It will die for me like digg.
> Per-student spending has more than tripled since the 1960s

In the meantime, college tuition and medical costs have tripled in only 20 years.
Yeah, I know this isn't a silver bullet, but incompetence is surprisingly (or probably not) plentiful.
Perl. Python. Bash or shell scripts. They all have "invoke this shell command" at a minimum. Then you get into ssh and a host of other command invocations to get information.

The shell is the convenient way to invoke commands to get the information: locally, remotely, quickly, no setup of C bindings, lots of invocation options.

If you are polyglot, do you want to use a command you know (ls) or learn each language's infernal syntax for filtering, recursive listing, etc, or learn it once with shell?
I was thinking exactly the same thing, till you mentioned old reddit, and I remember I've never actually used new reddit. I just opted out in Preferences when it was first released and have been using old reddit ever since. It's still the same good reading/content experience it was 10yrs ago.
It sounds like you did find work in F# (if you wanted it)? What language are you using?
And more than doubled the subscription price too.
Apple Delays Return to Offices Indefinitely
> When I look at a new feature I just think that I will make it shitty or get called out on not doing things the "right" way

Fix your expectations. Perfect things don't exists. Don't get trap into the idea
of perfectionism. In retrospective, everything will look like "not doing the right thing", don't take that personally, that's how retrospective works.

> The "new" UI they have is unusable, and may God have mercy for the poor souls that walk into it.

This would be reasonable if there weren’t subreddits that are totally broken on old.reddit.com and proclaim loudly in their sidebar that they no longer support it.
I think you've got a typo, it was 99.99%. "Einstein’s theory, which was conceived when neither these types of extreme stars nor the techniques used to study them could be imagined, agrees with the observation at a level of at least 99.99%." Either way, incredible stuff. I'm impressed the experimental data is that accurate.
Nevada National Security Site, 2021 DoE Video
People actually use PAN? As a heavy Reddit user (and mod in large community) this is news to me.
And if you’re on iOS there’s an app called reddo which is basically old Reddit redirect.
And at least for now, there's a multitude of third party parties with all the features one could care about, minus all the bloat. But who knows how long the api will last?
My point is that he didn’t kill himself because of the case because that wouldn’t make any sense - it must have been mental illness.

Therefore if it was his mental illness, it’s unfair to blame Ortiz.
You have just described the state of a massive chunk of the U.S. economy after 2008 when printing money to paper things over has become a norm.
The first three are literally in YC's request for startups: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs

Inequality is also something that VCs work on directly, just in another form. VCs believe that wealth is created by makers, and that the wealth should be taxed and distributed as a form of UBI. UBI still helps the bottom line of VCs the most because it turns the whole government into seed investors. It helps social mobility, but doesn't help those who can't make but are still essential (e.g. nurses).

I think the core question here is "Why don't private organizations with lots of money and power change the world?" And the answer is that, like all startup things, it's not something that you can throw money at the problem. It has to be solved by people dedicating months of focus to a specific problem.
It's just a small amount of actual content in the space compared to the old interface (still up at old.reddit.com)
You use custom CSS?!? Oh god it’s so awful. Turning that off is half the reason to be logged in.
No, you didn't get it at all.

There is no activity logging and there is no "sharing". No one can prove who is the owner of the device that got the ad confirmation. No one can point at you after seeing an ad. All that is known is that advertiser X needs to pay for the confirmation Y. You don't need to reveal anything about yourself to be able to prove you have the confirmation. That's the whole point of double-blinded (or zero-knowledge) signatures.

Stop misrepresenting everything about how the system works, you are being incredibly dishonest.
So what's the upside compared to devdocs.io?
Seems restricted to macs for a negative...
>>> The elephant in the root is that the US already experimented heavily with a hybrid public/private model for educational delivery...

And also for health care delivery.

And for the reconstruction of Iraq after Desert Storm.
It hasn't gotten as much coverage so far but that could very well change. A lot of people aren't happy that iMessage now has an easily exploitable backdoor built in.
First of all, that's kind of a sticky subject in the US due to the Fifth Amendment. Second of all, I have no idea what the parent commenter is talking about. Rittenhouse willingly turned his phone over to investigators.
Ah, right. The critical constraint upthread seems to be "more than half of them are the same".
Early on it was debunked, but now maybe not so much...

FWIW, I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't comment on it. Just that in HN's "lore" saying that it's turning into reddit is a common theme.

As to your comment itself, I don't think HN is degrading that fast? The low-quality "meme" responses usually get downvoted and while polarization is alive and well, most of it leads to interesting arguments so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

I've only been here for 2-3 years though so maybe it was different before.
Congratulations to Aaron Swartz and the team.

I don't see the legal aspect going anywhere. I don't know the technicalities of suing someone in another country, but to get the discovery they need they'll need subpoenas. How do you serve a subpoena in Russia? Is there any treaty which gives a U.S. subpoena any legal power in Russia? I guess there must be something behind it or Google would not have wasted their legal resources to file it.
It's literally 10x slower on all devices that I have, shows less content (particularly, long comment threads), and 100 other reasons they I'd sure hope you understood as a UX designer.

It's 2021, I don't want to see a "Loading..." icon like I'm on dial-up in the 90s.

Compare with https://old.reddit.com — open them side by side, refresh, click around.

We can have a serious discussion about what sucks in the "new" UI, but I really hope it's obvious.
For us, private is too expensive and public has become an indoctrination mill instead of an institution focused on teaching a kid the fundamentals, so it's probably going to be home schooling or moving to another country where we can afford a private school.
Wouldn’t a joint being passed around get all consumed in less than one pass? This is Grateful Dead we’re talking about.
The market is predictable, just on a macro level and on long timescales. Look at the S&P return per 10 years for the last couple of decades.
The UI is fine. It’s nothing special in terms of design but it’s not outright offensive except to people used to the old one. The issue is that it’s dog slow.
It's just a sucky pile of JavaScript libraries.. I'm always stuck looking at the "pulsing gray bars as a placeholder for text" for way too long. They should focus on making it perform so it doesn't need tricks like that.

My main driver isn't the fastest (skylake i5) but it's much slower than any of the other sites I use. And on my gaming pc (Ryzen 5 5600) it's slow too. And I have 1gbit fibre.

Ps serious question, isn't it difficult being a UX designer when you've been off the internet for 8 years? Stuff has really changed a lot.
As a non parent I had 100% faith and intention.

As a parent, yes I think it's possible and eminently achieveable,if that is and remains your goal.

BUT! Some stereotypical parenting behaviours that I found ridiculous before, now make a lot more sense.

Silly illustrative example - I spent years trying to persuade my friends against SUVs and large vehicles. Braking distance visibility handling price etc, I vehemently made my arguments. Now I cheerfully drive a minivan because it makes my life manifestly better and I couldn't care less about image or non-parent perception or judgement :-)

More importantly, There are also a lot of relationship paradigms that make a lot of sense when you are a young independent couple, that completely break down when you are sleep deprived not for a day or week or even a month but seminpermanently, while having the biggest demands and constant responsibility for your actions and behaviour, and influence on and safety of another human being! Add lack of free time and lack of disposable income and your preferences are definitely nudged in certain direction. And don't get me wrong, it's not that you are forced to behave a certain way... It's just that things that were impractical or undesirable before, are now practical and desirable. It's transformarive, in a way that I 100% know I would not be able to even explain let alone convince my pre-children self.

That being said, for empirical counter example - Musk still be Musk :-)
How to get client-side navigation right
So Reddit is going to get even worse than it already is? Ugh, no thanks.
