The fabricated issues with old are starting to appear, though.

Slow reddit now supports markdown code blocks with 3 `’s instead of 4 spaces, which gets rendered as normal inline-text on old.

Using the editor to insert links with _ in them on slow, will escape the underscores (…/this_is/ => …/this\_is/), breaking the links for users of the fast version.

The worst part (for me) is, that I actually like the new reddit. In compact mode it’s cleaner than old while not wasting any space compared to old. But sadly their performance targets were something like "Uh, I guess pages should probably load in under 500ms" which is in no way acceptable for me.

It is, frankly, _weaponized_ facebook. It literally shows you content that is the most-engaging and most-interacted, across the entire site (not just your friend group). Which is ironic, given how often users there was philosophical about the evils of facebook.

If you don't believe me, go browse /r/popular or some such and see how long it takes to see right-wing posts. The right-wing posts are usually heavily downvoted, so you'll see one with 100 upvotes between two posts with 20k upvotes; that's by design.
I think that's a very unfair assessment. Reddit is as diverse as the internet itself. There are plenty of good subreddits there and the toxic stuff is easy to avoid.

Do yourself a favour and unsubscribe to any subreddit that deals with the news or politics. Some subreddits have become too big to properly moderate, unsubscribe to them too.

I'm indeed a strong believer that if we could live forever, the suicide rate would be high, very high.

There is only so much a human mind can get through. Think of all the bad things that can happen to someone in their lives, mental scaring is real. At some point, something is going to snap.

Only vein people would actually keep going forever. Most normal people would give in at some point having had enough.

That said, extending life to 200-300 years would be good. I just think that forever would make everyone bat shit crazy and murdering each other or having suicide parties.

The Twitter account named Reddit Status was started in 2010 to track Reddit’s downtime. It has always been unstable. I’ve always thought it was strange how often Reddit was crashing or going down for scheduled maintenance when no other websites ever seemed to do so.
I use Ruby without rails all the time. It’s extremely convenient for shell scripting (basically anywhere I might have used Perl in the past).

> Exactly how, then, exercise aided with their weight maintenance is not yet clear, Dr. Hall said. He suspects that exercise affected people’s appetites in ways that may have made them less prone to overeating, while also burning some extra calories.

I'm a big loser (so to speak) [0] and that's been my experience. I've experimented with lots of changes on the fitness spectrum, between basically no exercise (on purpose, for weight loss) and tons of it.

You would think that exercise would always be amazing for a weight loss plan, but in many cases my charts showed that my desire to _improve my skill at the exercise_ would take over, my TDEE would ramp up, and I'd get confused and frustrated, way off track from where I thought my TDEE was, and end up effectively binging. Congrats, you exercised your way to higher weight!

So, skill development in exercise is really weird when you're dieting. Without doing a lot of analysis you can conclude you're better off sitting around eating salad.

Anyway, at a basic rate where skill development can just be skill maintenance with a little bit of development, there were lot of different beneficial effects which clearly made me less prone to overeating, from realizations like "this exercise time is great because it is not time idly spent thinking about food" to "it's easiest to visualize a healthy future me while I'm exercising." Those visualizations are like extra batteries for a weight loss routine.

At one point I was trying to measure my TDEE changes based on the ketosis-mode taste in my mouth, which did help navigate changes in TDEE somewhat.

BTW changes in BMR were very tricky to navigate during my final 50 lbs. of weight loss. There were a LOT of exercise changes around that time as well, when I realized that for the first time in my adult life I could do a pull-up. It was like I turned into a monkey. So the article was interesting to read in that way.

> Generally I'll avoid the subreddits for anything I'm interested in, as they're frequented by "experts" who feel the need to ruin everyone's fun.

This kind of gatekeeping was pretty common in the old days on niche-interest forums too btw. I don't know what a good solution for this is. You even see this kind of behavior in academia.
I have less rosy predictions about what this IPO will do. I doubt it will fund better search. In fact, I’m thinking it will push it more into the ‘relevancy’ territory where you get a slurry of slightly related results, incoherent reco sys content curation, and deviation from vote and time decay ranking in favor of inscrutable algorithmic content feed ordering. All these things will make Reddit more successful from a mass market perspective.
I mean I am a hardcore fan of the books for my whole live, and I certainty have some small issues with the movies, but damn. Saying that Peter Jackson is not a good director is quite the statement.

It seems to me that because you love the books so much you are applying and insanely high standard. Given where Fantasy has been before and since in movies what was achieved was almost unbelievable how amazing it is.

> In the movie, though, Faramir succumbs to the ring initially and leads the hobbits around for 15 minutes.

I think this is not even a bad change. It made Faramir and thus Boromir and the family dynamic a bigger part of the story. It gives it way more impact later when Faramir rides out.

> He did the same thing to even worse effect in The Hobbit.

In the Hobbit he had to jump in last minute and the studio forced it to 3 movies. There was no saving that thing. The only reason he directed it at all is because they might have pulled the movie from New Zealand.

> And yet with all that padding, he left out The Scouring of the Shire, one of the most important parts of the book.

There is just no practical way to include this even in the extended editions. The movie gets made endless jokes about how it has like 7 endings. It just not how movies work.

Remember even the cinematic editions had to cut so many things, it totally insane to think they could have added what amount to a whole other part at the end that can arguably be its own movie.

A few reasons I like Django in general [Have also used Laravel]:

- Out of the box db modeling + true relational schema generation, migrations & rollbacks. Get going with local sqlite right away.

- You can always check what db migrations are going to do by generating the raw SQL for a migration file. [1]

- It has a separate, secure web admin for data management, user management, + whatever [2].

- Combine with e.g. Django REST Framework [3] for REST API functionality.

- Can run it on AWS Lambda with zappa.(<sigh> "serverless")

> It is likely related to the limited capacity of the human brain

I really doubt this. It is likely limited to, "why change when what I did got me here so far".

That and the belief that they'll die sooner than later anyway so why bother. Once you took away the idea that people will die and remain healthy in all ways - I think you'll see folks be much more open to adopting change at later stages in life. I see this with many people I know who are in their 60s. They're like, "Eh, it's too late. Gonna die sooner than later anyway." It's only the ones who think they're gonna live at least another 10 years (and realize how long that is) actually are open to changing.

> Nor Glorfindel helping Frodo escape the Ringwraiths

They replaced Glorfindel with another character that makes just as much sense and made it so the movie was not even more male dominate then it already was. It also improved the romantic relationship considerably. In some ways its actually an improvement from the books.

Overall I think that is just complaining on an incredibly high level. Sure, lets make a new set of Lord of the Rings movies every 5 years, I'm in. But given the history of Fantasy in Movies, LotR pulls of the nearly impossible.

Thi will never cure the underlying cause of suicides, of course, but adding even slight obstacles has proven to have an effect on suicide rates. Many suicides aren't thoughtfully planned out, but are just a combination of motive and easy opportunity. Even adding something as seemingly silly as a moderately difficult to climb fence to a bridge can reduce suicide rates.

This is a fine measure, assuming that it's followed by investment into mental health. I do believe it'll save lives, even if it's just a few, but the necessity proves that there's still a lot that needs to be done.

Technically speaking you can also speculatively decode Huffman coded bitstreams because the use of canonical Huffman tree means that the end-of-block symbol is almost likely the longest code and has no 0 bits, so you can start decoding at a long string of 1 bits.
