That's how I browse, but I think you need to have an account to be able to set the old theme. I was assuming that scenario was included in old.reddit.com traffic. If it's not, then 10-15% of traffic hitting the old.reddit.com domain seems really high.

Ok, one of my favorite subreddits is about an specific American book series based on a modern genre of Chinese fiction. Do you think that Reddit can scale to manage that kind of content without volunteer mods?

It's the same thing as people used to say about Wikipedia. Oh, they shouldn't take volunteers and just pay for encyclopedia editors. But if you want content at scale, you need to provide power to people so they can say what they want, and they are going to abuse it. But the alternative as never worked, and in fact, people get really mad here when people try to implement the alternative.
- Reddit should not be a company to grow 1000x & exit with all employees being millionaires, it should earn enough to pay the staff hefty six fig salaries and that's enough

- Stop being like quora and restricting content if you're not logged in

- fix the video player on the new site

- support the native video player on the old site & polls

- remove the supermod system, where senior mods control half the site, old mods should not be able to invite new mods past a certain point but they'll just create sockpuppet accounts so

- remove more subreddits from the default list

- remove the "influencer" aspects of the site. People don't need a profile with a custom picture, don't need to post to their /u/ board when they should be posting on a subreddit.

- go back to reddit gold, get rid of the 50+ awards

- custom comment backgrounds from certain awards are fine, let people purchase colored borders or something

- go back to showing the progress bar for how close the site is to earning enough to pay for servers that day from gold purchases

- when you end up hiring extremely controversial staff, avoid auto deleting criticism about them

- don't edit other user's comments

- integrate more of RES's features into reddit

- bring back live threads

- RPAN is a fine way to try to introduce more social stuff (imagine r/games hosting a pov stream of blizzcon) but the current users are weird

- bring back AMAs with famous people, not B or C list actors that are promoting their new book (so bring back someone in Victoria's role)

- get rid of the moon currency feature

- encourage mods to delete threads with inaccurate titles / clickbait until a link is submitted with an accurate name
> The glibc support will be limited to replacing the malloc implementation because musl is a much more robust and cleaner base to build on and can cover the same use cases.

Glad that Android shares my opinions. This is based on the OpenBSD malloc without the OpenBSD-typical slowdowns to catch bugs, but with more hardening. No idea about the relation to Rich' latest rewritten musl malloc, which is less about hardening, more about performance.
Prednisone can cause long term damage including osteoporosis and even psychiatric symptoms. Stopping it requires careful titration.

I am saying hijacking a comment on decision making to leverage a tragedy in order to make some thoughtless “amazon bad” claim is kinda weird.

There is no right to your phone at work. Should there be? I dunno, probably not, but if you feel there should be then vote for it.

If you take a look at the CONTRIBUTING.md, Mold has taken an approach that is pretty novel to me. Instead of requiring a CLA to allow for relicensing, all patches are required to be released as dual-license AGPLv3 and MIT. I personally love this approach, but it could make it difficult to relicense to anything but MIT.
They have been touting MAUs and DAUs a lot over the last one year. Turns out their numbers are very very public.

Whenever a new user creates an account, she automatically gets added to r/announcements. It's not a choice, they dont even show it as an option.

The current subs of r/announcements is 127M. It was 124M at the start of this month. Just shows that reddit - with newer design or not - has not found much acceptance in the upcoming generations. They tend to visit the site, yet are hesitant to create an account. For reference, their MAUs for month of Dec 19 alone were 430M. They got a lot of help from SEO for everyone of their threads being indexed, and hence the high traffic, but regular users and personalized ads isnt there. Likely low ARPU.

Edit: This is probably the reason for those dark patterns too. If I can see that low conversion rate, so can people inside, and they would try and improve that via different UX patterns. Because it seems like a low hanging fruit when it is not really one.
I recently noticed the same posts popping up and they contained the exact same comments but instead of the comment saying 1month old it would say like 3 hours. I asked and some suggested it is karma farmers and they use the same posts and same comments that generated a lot of likes in the past to get karma and once they have a lot of karma their posts are more likely to hit the front page. I wish I could block posts from reappearing but they just slap a new title and don’t show a proper thumbnail and trick users to watch it again.

> This is what happens when you hire mediocre engineers

Nope. It's the result of perverse incentives and poor management. I can imagine the developers (even the designers) had a good vision of what to build and how to build it, only to be overruled by management with ideas like "make it janky as hell so we can force all our users to our mobile app to track them better".
> Doesn’t mean it won’t do well but its just another flavor of facebook.

No, reddit has threads/subjects. Facebook posts organization almost does not exist, it is unusable to read anything there.
There are definitely uses cases for Ruby without Rails. It's a great command-line scripting language, for example, filling the slot of an evolved Perl. There are also lighter-weight approaches to web scripting, such as Sinatra and bare Rack HTTP servers. I have no idea how prevalent that is. I did it for several small but well used apps.

Ruby and Python share a lot of commonalities as languages. But their constituencies vary substantially, and that matters. Academic, probably Python. Working "interactive" agency, probably Ruby. Process automation, probably Ruby again. Author's implementation of new algo paper, probably Python.

I wouldn't think either-or. If it's worth familiarizing with one, it's probably one more weekend to be walk-on-ready for both.

Yeah, but he refused to protect his unicode identifiers, and just went with the C committee solution to provide no solution to Unicode identifier security. I expected better.
> There is a huge amount of code that assumes this behavior, and works correctly, because that is the way hardware works.

It doesn't though, because gcc et al don't care how the hardware work, they can and do happily miscompile that kind of code into security vulnerabilities instead. If you're talking about embedded code that's compiled with a specific vendor's non-optimizing compiler then yes (but changing GCC and Clang's defaults will have no effect on that kind of code), but if you're talking about code for mainstream desktop/server systems then no, it already doesn't and can't rely on wrapping overflow.

> Saying it's UB and therefore can be arbitrarily broken is equally nonsense, breaking code that is correct, within the confines of actual real machines, for no reason other than "it's UB" is not anymore helpful than saying "why don't you just rewrite it all in X".

But it's not correct, not just in theory but in practice. In real life, code that does this and gets compiled with a modern optimizing compiler like GCC or Clang is already an RCE unless proven otherwise. Yes wrapping is what a naive assembly translation would do. But the compilers don't do naive assembly translation and haven't for decades.

> It's actually incredibly difficult given your definition of what is allowed, to write anything in C that is not UB.

Yes, which is why we keep getting security vulnerabilities like this one.
Neat project! Setting up your own DNS server for a throwaway domain is definitely a pain, especially if you've never done so and use anything other than PowerDNS really, so this is useful for messing around with.

I do hope the author has set some limits on the DNS configuration you can freely enter. One annoying trick DDoS spammers will use is that they will set up DNS records that are as large as possible to use for their botnet's amplification attack, so allowing them arbitrarily large requests on your domain may be problematic and may cause nasty complaints against your domain. I'd recommend anyone running a free subdomain service (or something super cool like this!) to consider this in their configuration. We can't have nice things because of these bad people :(

Absolutely. What I find astonishing is how undervalued test feedback time is.

I don't know what drives that, but in most jobs I've had to fight to do the right thing.

Just recently I've made some optimizations to get a functional test suite from 65 minutes down to 3.6. Parallelism is my favorite lever, as it scales so well, and core count is still going up!

A good podcast app may help. For slower podcasts, instead of speeding it up - which may chipmunk or otherwise cause artifacts - podcast addict trims silence. You may miss stuff below the gate threshold, but it is still slick.

I only listen to 2 podcasts, I don't really and have never really liked the format. I prefer reading with music or silence, and have always loved weblogs for that. However, it's worth a shot to find a podcast app that "clicks" with your style of input.

With podcasting 2.0, the new features should allow producers that don't want to be part of an ecosystem to still make some income, plus you get streaming album art where supported, and liner notes and all sorts of other goodies.

I think podcastindex has a list of compatible 2.0 podcasting apps, but I'm unable to check.
Unlikely to be better. Same or worse.
What holds you back so far? You are not even getting security updates are you?
"And just because the source filename has to end in .gif, that doesn't mean it's really a GIF file. The ImageIO library, as detailed in a previous Project Zero blogpost, is used to guess the correct format of the source file and parse it, completely ignoring the file extension. Using this "fake gif" trick, over 20 image codecs are suddenly part of the iMessage zero-click attack surface, including some very obscure and complex formats, remotely exposing probably hundreds of thousands of lines of code."

90% of zero-days could be stopped at the front door by file format checkers doing static analysis on popular file formats (like ZIP, MS-CFB, Office, image, PDF) exchanged via message/email to reduce semantic gaps in the file format and weird-machine ambiguities that will inevitably be abused by attackers.

The problem is simple. Most codecs (and even vulnerable anti-virus software) were written in a time when Postel's law was the norm. It's much easier to write a file format checker as defense-in-depth for the vulnerable codec than to rewrite the codec, especially since a codec's interface typically can't expose policy decisions like a checker's interface can.

As a community, we could solve this problem tomorrow.

However, the file format checkers to defend don't exist, because the major email/message providers don't want to invest in them, because nobody would see this work. Even if we build them, they don't want to invest in tuning the false positive rate, because people want lax security not strict security on all message/email attachments they open.
Don't read the very end if you want to avoid a No Time To Die quasi-spoiler.
Reddit said, not six months ago, that they weren't going to ban anti-vaccine rhetoric. The lead admin stated: "We appreciate that not everyone agrees with the current approach to getting us all through the pandemic, and some are still wary of vaccinations. Dissent is a part of Reddit and the foundation of democracy." [0]

When you combine this with the fact that moderation on the site is unpaid, it's literally a land mine: anything done on it is open to litigation, and all of the counter-measures are "we rely on unpaid volunteers." It's a nightmare for a public offering, really. It'd be like investing in Facebook, except if Facebook's stances were "well, vaccination is a choice" and "we can't pay people to remove inappropriate content; we just rely on unpaid volunteers for that."

Reddit has effectively monetized outrage in a way Facebook could only ever hope to: instead of primarily presenting your friend circles, and the outrage there, Reddit presents the outrage of the social media cloud itself, weaponized in the form of upvotes. The worst part of browsing Reddit is the level of smugness you see around its users: they act like Instagram/Facebook is the worst parts of humanity, while actively engaging with a different corporation selling the same thing but more effectively.

There are two things culture, (language and traditions), and DNA make up. The culture is a mix of Mycenaean, (earlier settlers and the Indo European invaders mix (where the Greek language comes from), plus Minoan influence they gained after conquering the place.

DNA Analysis makes it simple:

https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-dfb70bfe098a81c7dc4e31...

Greeks, just like their neighbors, the Albanians, and Sardinians have the highest mix of Early Neolithic Farmers, then some West Hunter Gatherer, and some Yamnaya culture (probably that's where they got the Indo European language, that eventually became Greek).

So, DNA wise, they are a mix of locals + some PIE invaders, that eventually became the Greek culture and language. This is a similar story to all European populations, but the mix % might change.

As for culture, there are two hypothesis: The culture was already preformed, and the PIE setlers imposed it to the locals they invaded, or it just arised in place, when people mixed together. Same story with the Illyrians just up north.

So far 2. wins, since there are still some Pre Indo European words that survive today (eg. Larissa, is not a Greek name, but it was of the people that were there before). Greek culture is something that rose overtime in that land, hence autochthonous, but the Indo European language won over the other local languages.

A modern comparison would be something that happen to Latin America. Eg. Most modern Mexicans are a mix of the Spanish settlers, and the indigenous population, that created its own unique ethnicity. Ultimately the Spanish language won, even though the settlers were a minority.

But the culture that arose is definitely not spanish, and it is a distinctive mix of both spanish and local traditions.

A similar process happened with the European populations during the Bronze age.
Then you have not looked very far at all.

It would be easy for me to identify public schools in PA with key clubs, AP classes, orchestra, all common sports, a series of foreign languages etc.

This is why you hire old programmers, so that you have someone to yell "WTF" when they see you have no testbench. We had that stuff figured out in the PS1 days.
Contempt is a criminal offense, so in theory, yes, you could be extradited.

This is how courts in the USA turn civil matters into criminal matters all the time. For instance, non-payment of child support: you can't legally be imprisoned for your debts, but if you fail to pay after the judge orders you to pay then you are in contempt and you are going to jail.

A project zero post from early 2020 talks about the iMessage architecture and impact of iMessage exploits: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/01/remote-iphone...

The BlastDoor sandbox was added since then (which project zero also has a post on), but this exploit happened outside the blastdoor sandbox, so that doesn't change anything.

If previous iMessage exploits are anything to go on, it's likely this gives unsandboxed root access to all memory on the device.

I think this was added for the OnlyFans pipeline. There is a massive porn community on Reddit, and the entirety of it thrives on this feature. Whether either of us want that, Reddit's decided it is a good and reliable monetary way forward.

Pardon my skepticism but this reads like a fairy tale where the author was promised a lot of money to conduct a study that does not need sources because all their strange conclusions are on the abstract and therefore are the hypothesis (and conveniently does not require sources).

Amazing, you found the fountain of youth and you just need 1 million dollars to conduct the experiment and it will take <insert my average maximum lifespan here> years? Sign me up, I'm sure it will never run late after all my life depends on it!

Not only do the (unknown) experts are all certain of something that requires proof, they also write it in invisible ink! Damn!

> In animals, anti-aging interventions (dietary restrictions, rapamycin, genetic manipulations) postpone age-related diseases and thus automatically extend maximum lifespan.

So you are saying that animals anti-aging interventions are:

- Dietary restrictions
- Rapamycin*
- Genetic manipulations

> In humans, anti-aging interventions have not been yet implemented

What an innovative idea! Have you ever heard of this thing called Rapamycin*? it is already approved for use in human patients since 2010: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/bies.2009001...
