>On top of hundreds of lies at this point, they've been actively banning anyone who discusses this.

Reddit's been like that for at least a decade. I remember arguing with Huffman and later Pao about their awful corporate newspeak ("enabling authentic conversations") and how reddit is being actively gamed by advertisers and has been for years. The same goes for every user-hostile change they've made (and there have been many). It's always under some noble pretense but really it's about making reddit more palatable to advertisers. When confronted, the admins either avoid responding or else claim Big Tobacco-levels of ignorance.

It's all so patently obvious to anyone who chooses to look, and I think the blatant contempt the admins display towards their users (without whom, let's not forget, reddit would never have taken off) contributes to the toxicity on reddit, or at least it did years ago when reddit was smaller and the toxic culture is now self-perpetuating.
Which indexes? If they include US Large Cap then you already invest in FB and Twitter.

My empathy is going to the people who are alive and suffering from similar mental health issues today that could be helped if we told the truth about why Swartz is dead.

lemmy.ml is an example of this, and I'm pretty sure that it's far from the first. The hard part is attracting a crowd, network effects are real.
Every child must either meet some government-mandated educational standard, or enroll in a program which brings some threshold percentage of its students to said standard. $VOUCHER_AMOUNT is adjusted on a per-region basis based on the average tuition within each region. If the institution's tuition is higher than $VOUCHER_AMOUNT, the parents pay the difference out of pocket. If the tuition is less than $VOUCHER_AMOUNT, the parents keep the difference.

Parents obviously want to minimize the amount they're paying out of pocket, and they'd like to keep some of the voucher money, so high-end schools as well as low-end schools are incentivized to keep their costs down.
No one thought Swartz would actually get 200 years in prison. Sure, his situation sounds more dire if you exaggerate it beyond reality.
It was never over-the-counter in the US. Clinton ordered the FDA to investigate it in the 90s, and it was approved in late 2000 by his FDA, not Bush's. The elder Bush had banned its import in 1989.

Reddit used to be amazing

Now it's like a red flag in your resume if you worked for reddit

Then they made a whole mess on the homepage. This is what happens when you hire mediocre engineers. Its like junior engineers who cant write code. Reddit mobile is not bad, but stop trying to make me install it. There are people who only wants to use web. But your web engineers are garbage

their ads is incredibly bad.

there are dark patterns everywhere. Now they're even trying to mess up the old.redit.com

The site always crashes.

It's like the early founders did a really good job, and the vultures who could barely pass as a PM or as an engineer took over.

I mean if they wanted to save this site, they would prob have to lay off all the fat and start rehiring.

I was excited for reddit back in the day, i thought they had a shot of saving the internet. now they're trying to get into everything, and can barely execute

So the trillion dollar question is, what's next to replace reddit
Because network effects. Even if you clone Reddit you still need to convince people to come use your clone, that’s where the actual hard work is.

And “ton of demand”, there isn’t really. Just some loud critics, but nowhere near a big enough mass to make a difference. Just as Mastodon will never beat Twitter, despite fixing a lot of its shortcomings.
you should delete this. i know for a fact at least one of his family members reads this site, and that is an awfully hurtful thing to say.
Because there's nothing intrinsically good or novel about it any longer. It's not the tech, it's just that people are there already.

Rails 7: The One Person Framework
Slashdot did the same thing even before digg. I miss those days sometimes.
I believe they codified their intention to keep doing exactly thta, into their terms of service.
Ok I’ll bite. How would you fix Reddit? I have been using online forums for the past 20+ years and I know what you mean about communities like Reddit going from nerd heavy topics to primarily being the free advertising platform for onlyfans accounts and political hacks. But how would Reddit at this point stuff the genie back into the bottle?

For that matter, if you don’t believe in Reddit’s long term success, there are both investment opportunities and opportunities to build something better.
Moreover, who would buy that stock? What is the growth prospect of an Internet forum that has been around for 10 years. Not even advertisers use it because it so bad at targeting. I would rather put $1000 in Tesla or something more tangible.
From the blog: "The part that really excites me about this version, though, is how much closer it brings us to the ideal of The One Person Framework. A toolkit so powerful that it allows a single individual to create modern applications upon which they might build a competitive business. The way it used to be."
Thank you for adding it so quick!

Not as big a difference as I'd expected.

After they had bumped up the price for the second year in a row (without any meaningful justification), I moved to 1Password and never looked back.

I would love a good comeback story and I wish them all the luck but it is yet to be seen how it will pan out (a similar move done by Quicken effectively did nothing, resulting in the same bored, stagnant product holding users hostage). The article suggests that they might be aiming toward enterprise product (which has a very different dynamics compared to a consumer one).

I don't think I wrote that all democrats didn't want to fix this, it was simply an illustration that there are plenty of democrats that don't want to fix it or don't care enough to do so. You have to consider that CA could have passed this long ago, it's not like this was their first chance. The fact that it took them so long in the first place to even consider it doesn't speak great things about them. There's also the recall election, they could have run someone better if this was what they were really prioritizing but that clearly isn't the case. There's also plenty of charter cities that could adopt better methods that are likely democrat strongholds and they've also sat around for the most part (although there's obviously exceptions like the SF area, where interestingly enough Newsom also tried to stop it but failed).

edit: although really I hope all you took away isn't just that I don't like democrats. I don't like anyone against fixing the voting methods be they democrat, republican, green, libertarian, independent, or any other category I failed to mention. I just pointed out democrats because supposedly they are the majority in CA and like to claim that they support a healthy democracy. In the same way, I'm happy to work with (just about) anyone who wants to fix the voting system and hope they will make their voice heard. I think it is perhaps the most important thing we need to fix right now, and is one of the main criteria I personally look at when voting for officials.
> opaque metrics make it impossible for parents to actually make an informed choice based on the quality of schools. It will be a crap shoot.

Nope, people will probably figure out the "best schools" via their private social networks and cloistered communities, and find ways to pull up the ladders behind them.

We know why drugs aren't regulated. Pharmaceutical Companies contribute millions every year to Congress critter PACs and election coffers. Only democrats have tried lukewarm measures to reverse some of the damage. Essentially pharmaceutical companies think they are unassailable.

QNAME minimization is for recursive resolvers.

The scenario is that you want to resolve alice.example.com but you don't want the root servers or the .com servers to know any more information than they need to.

Historically you would send the whole query to all servers. Even the root servers would see the entire fully-qualified domain name (alice.example.com) even though all they're going to do is refer you to the .com servers. With QNAME minimization the root servers only know that you want something under .com and the .com servers only know you want something under .example.com and so on.

Now suppose the root servers don't do any kind of encryption but example.com supports DNSCurve or some other opportunistic encryption and so do you. Your ISP used to see the query going to the root servers or the .com servers and know the FQDN even if the query to example.com was encrypted. Now they don't.

Likewise, if someone is sitting on the root servers watching all the queries from everyone, they used to see FQDNs, now they only see top level domains.

I feel that way about the Hobbit trilogy which should have been at most 1 long movie.

But LOTR was ground breaking on many levels and will probably never be surpassed in my lifetime. Amazon is making a LOTR TV series that I thoroughly expect I'll hate every second of but I'd love to be wrong, though my faith in the film industry is exceedingly low.

My point is that when a revolution starts, the participants have zero idea of whether or not its going to be bloody or relatively bloodless. If you're going to condemn revolutions as a whole, you have to condemn the bloodless ones as well, for that same reason.
Not really, since ~/Downloads isn't inside a chroot. You accomplish it most easily with AppArmor.

Anyway, OP is telling you how to do it with OpenBSD, which is also a "regular" OS.
The upside is you can use all the net core libraries.

The downside is then you have to know how to write wrappers/helpers for them and probably don't get to use all the cool stuff that comes with F# because you're using a library written for C#.

It is by and far my favorite language, but i'm also super lucky i have, relatively, low code demands (basic ETL/CRUD stuff) and the ability to choose what I use in my environment.

I hope to god it gets more traction because I think it's amazing, but being second child to C# hurts it in a lot of small ways. Especially because "well we don't need that library, just use the netcore one" is such a common reaction in the community, but it's really not ideal.
So, public schools are free daycare. Yeah, education is great, but almost everyone is two-income (or single parent working). So schools provide childcare.

The public schools weren't providing daycare. I can tell from my facebook feed loaded with affluenza sufferers that Zoom classes were not cutting it.

Parents went where there was daycare (private).

Other alternatives: people stayed home with gov't assistance, and did the childcare themselves and homeschooled.

That's about the gist?

It is clearly breaking the law, but think of this example:

What if a corrupted government was also blocking access to freedom of speech and querying some harder-to-block public, immutable database on a blockchain was effectively circumventing this block?

Yeah, it's technically still breaking the law and it could be blocked too (albeit much harder), though it's for a good cause.
Well, they tried. For a very long time they asked people to donate. They even tried to gamify it with reddit gold and the like. I suspect it just didn't work.
Does anyone know why reddit's engineering is such a shit show? It seems comically bad. MySpace was more reliable.

If they retired old.reddit then the only time I would browse reddit would be when I use my phone, which I only do when I have no computer to interact with or before bed.

If they then do the logical thing and block third party apps then I will just stop using reddit completely, because using the official app just isn't worth it.
It sounds like you're mad at explicit decisions made by product owners, like the content on the frontpage or dark patterns that push mobile app usage. I guarantee none of the rank and file engineers are responsible for those decisions, and they almost certainly detest them just as much as you. The problem is if they don't implement them then they don't get a paycheck and can't put food on the table. It's silly to paint them with blame.

If I get a thousand labels for $0.10/ea and 50% of them are wrong there is two ways to look at the result:

1) I spent $100 on 1000 labels

2) I spent $100 on 500 good labels and 500 bad ones and can’t tell them apart.

If I spent $0.20 per label on 500 labels with good better accuracy I end up spending less and getting more.

The only way what you said makes sense is if we ignore the quality of the data as a consideration.
Part of me dies whenever someone implies all music has lyrics or music == song. That you care more for the music than the lyrics melts, imperceptibly, my iceberg heart.

The Enya-esque vocal texture, probably meant as a "this is ancient" short-hand, no longer tries my optic nerves, but I am comforted by anyone who responds more to pitch, timbre, and rhythm than the inanity of lyrics.
For me the most memorable parts of these films are the amazing prosthetics and makeup that Weta Workshop created, especially the orcs. They are so well done and give the films such a realistic quality.

When I first saw these films in theatre as a teenager I remember being blown away by all of the CGI which was obviously great for its time, but nowadays I appreciate these and the other practical effects so much more. The various videos Adam Savage has made on his Tested channel with Weta Workshop are great as well, I can't recommend them enough to anyone interested in this type of thing.

DNA analytics in the context of the ottoman empire would be a melting pot. As I understand it, succession to the sultanate was usually not by primogeniture as much as from the set of candidates, including other ethnicities in the Osmanli family, with much concubinage there would be all kinds of races.

Outside of the sultanate the army was a melting pot. Labour was grabbed from everywhere. Racial origins were no bar to advancement. Post service, not everyone (few even?) return home.

I am sure some ancient greek DNA remains extant, but I am also sure a lot of other DNA is at large in Turkey, Greece, Albania, FYROM...

The Article: "... When the researchers compared the DNA of modern Greeks to that of ancient Mycenaeans, they found a lot of genetic overlap. Modern Greeks share similar proportions of DNA from the same ancestral sources as Mycenaeans, although they have inherited a little less DNA from ancient Anatolian farmers and a bit more DNA from later migrations to Greece. ..."

> CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The author has no conflicts of interest to declare

Right, who wants to live forever?

There are so many conversations about living longer and they lead in so many different directions:

- How does the world move on from bad influences

- At what point is it ok to choose when we can die

- Will over-population become a serious issue

- How do we support a larger aged population?

- Do we expect to also extend "working years" ... and then why?

- Does extending life cheapen our perception of it?

... etc

The amount of time we have on this planet is a huge unknown to most of us. When any of us learn about a shorter finite time (eg: medical diagnoses), it often inspires us to make drastic changes, sometimes for the better. By finding ways of blanket-extending our life spans, we necessarily change societal expectations. Hopefully this doesn't become yet another area where we have a widening wealth-gap.

No shot. All 60Hz monitors created before the 120Hz+ era cannot handle a signal above 75Hz. The exception being the few that can go up to 85Hz. They cannot just drop every second frame at 120Hz; that would require timing faster than what they're capable of.

Back when I was going to college there was an admin that sought to make my life a living hell, and he succeeded for 3 years, putting down my skills, using his admin rights to limit my storage and access, and telling me to not pursue a career in CS, because I was a political science major.

Fast forward to 3 years after graduation I got my first job at an actual IT company and he went to jail after it was found storing CP on university servers.

The people that do the most underhanded workplace things and put others down end up showing their true colors eventually. Don't worry about it or wait around near to them to see their failure, live your life.

Just be sure you don't become that same dismissive a-hole personality that you've encountered, unless the person you're telling the honest truth to is really a hack that needs to just find a better line of work because the shoe does not fit. Being a good friend can also mean telling people they're not good at development also.

It's really ultimately about problem solving most of the time than perfectly formatted code with proper developer notation. Customers never read the notes anyway.

I've read the hobbit but never the LOTR, but in the making of LOTR videos they point out (a few times I think) that Tolkein's writing style was highly unusual and extremely difficult to adapt to a screenplay. It's been awhile since I saw them but one comment they made was that Tolkein seemed to just keep the story elements flowing on and on almost like he was writing more of a historical account rather than a novel with a classic arc. What we got on film was the classic arc more or less, meaning they had to twist and bend the source material somehow. They basically thought that a faithful adaption would not have found wide audience appeal because Tolkien broke too many rules of writing novels.

I wonder though..
