To see the absurdity of this position just replace "view ads" with the following:

I would stop content creators from breaking into my home and taking money from my wallet in the middle of the night, but I don't because it's the only wildly prevalent, fairly minimal hassle way to make micro-payments to a service/content I'm benefiting from.

It is not the responsibility of consumer to accept harmful practices because they're the only practices in broad use.

Surely any reasonably smart React dev will become productive within a very short period of time? Or is it that people simply don't apply when they see Svelte on the tech list?
As long as malvertising campaigns are a thing, you should block ads.

Nah, there is a ton of fantastic innovation going on, and more to come.

Consider that health insurers are now mandated to release their pricing.

Personally, I can't stand writing JavaScript and prefer to insulate myself against the moving target that is ECMAScript by writing declarative UIs in ClojureScript + Reagent, which uses React behind the scenes: https://reagent-project.github.io/

There is some interesting new stuff on the horizon like Hyperfiddle Photon, which compiles network I/O for you. As for me, an old dinosaur, I'm tired of learning new syntax. Clojure the language has not changed since its release. Lisp has been around since the 60s. It will be around in another 60 years. For me, it is the 100-year language. I'm sure it's not the end goal, but I am willing to bet it will be a Lisp-like.
I remember Marginal Revolution talking about this a while ago (2016):

For the moment, Amazon seems to be the most aggressive recruiter of economists. It even has an Amazon Economists website for soliciting résumés. In a video on the site, Patrick Bajari, the company’s chief economist, says the economics team has contributed to decisions that have had “multibillion-dollar impacts” for the company.

Another Amazon jobs site lists openings for economists. As of Friday, there were 34.

Seeing this emerging job market, the National Association for Business Economics held its first meeting for technology company economists in April in San Francisco. Another is set for October in Silicon Valley.

FB said in SEC filings that many young people lie about their age when signing up; independent research I've found confirms that FB uses self-reported age for ad targeting (https://www.demogr.mpg.de/papers/working/wp-2021-006.pdf). British authorities say more than 80% of children lie about their age (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/jul/26/children-lie-a...). More search shows that parents often encourage their kids to lie about their age when signing up (https://journals.uic.edu/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/3850/...), presumably under the belief that it'll make them less likely to be targeted by predators. FB has used algorithms since 2011 to try to ban underage users (https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/12/technology/internet/12und...) but presumably there's an error rate, and it's bad PR for normal adult users to be asked to submit their ID/passport to keep access to their account, so it's a hard problem.

It's easy to paint FB employees as cravenly evil cartoon characters, but most FB ads (except ones from the biggest corporations) are "direct response", i.e. not focused on increasing brand awareness but on immediately funneling users to a sales page. FB doesn't benefit from underage kids, who have zero spending ability, from seeing direct response ads (obviously, brand awareness ads on underage people are hugely effective, however), it just messes up their ad targeting. It seems to be a hard problem to solve when you consider all factors.
Hey dvarrazzo - we're making a real effort to talk to the developer side when we're structuring contracts and at the moment (until it's unscalable) will be manually involved (behind the scenes) in each one to make sure it fits. Getting this right is absolutely vital - a balanced contract that serves both parties equally is the only way I see of retaining good customers and incredible talent.

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit with Dall-E, Midjourney and SD and I disagree with your sentiment. Sure, you can create a bunch of weird creepy shit, but by no means are the overwhelming majority of images deeply disturbing, as you put it.

Just scroll through https://lexica.art/ which catalogs 10M+ StableDiffusion images, most aren't even close to being disturbing and are in fact aesthetically quite pleasing.
You misunderstood, OP isn't complaining that there are amazon affiliate links or that this site is trying to make money.

They're pointing out that only products that are sold on amazon, are being aggregated. So the web app isn't fulfilling the claim of "listing Reddit's favorite products", but instead they are listing "Reddit's favorite products that are sold on amazon".

Which causes such issues that another commenter pointed out, there are no ThinkPad laptop models listed as a favorite product for /r/laptops.

Interesting article, but given this is an anecdotal perspective from the author I have to wonder how much confirmation bias exists in this. Worth additional exploration and possible study by an expert in the biological sciences.

Smart people can fool themselves just as much as "regular" people and when you throw in a bunch of math it seems like some mental gymnastics to allow you to fool yourself even more.

How many of those user perspectives are real? It seems to be if you are a manufacturer of a certain product that it wouldn't take too much effort to promote your product with a few sock puppets in a subreddit until your product is on the subreddit's shortlist of recommended products. From that point on new users to the community will evangelise your product for you and you can scale back your sockpuppets.
If you manage to get your sockpuppets to be admin of the subreddit it's also not too hard to delete negative comments or reviews about your products or to generally steer the discussion in the direction you want it to take.

I don't trust reddit product reviews anymore than a top 10 SEO site on google with top 10 best <product>.

Show HN: Twofer Goofer: daily rhyme game built with Midjourney/Stable Diffusion
Twofer Goofers are pairs of rhyming words that form a nonsensical phrase. Each day, there’s a roundabout prompt that describes a new Twofer Goofer. Players can use up to 4 hints.

Inspired by a game back from my high school English teacher, I built this in the past few weeks with a couple friends. We’ve been using Midjourney and Stable Diffusion (been on waitlist for Dalle for ages) to generate each day’s art. Extremely fun and simple way to leverage these super-powerful generative art tools!

We “playtested” on Google Forms for about a month while building the app w/ Vercel and Supabase. We also use Figma, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Sendgrid. Lots of usual suspects!
Awesome initiative! Are you accounting for unpopular products currently? I expect unpopular products might also see a lot of comments.
I asked DALL-E to draw a self portrait of itself and its family one time, and the results still make my hairs stand up.

I've had an Ergodox EZ for 4 years and it's awesome. Once you learn to type on it and take advantage of the multitude of macros, it's almost telepathic.

But I end up using an inexpensive bluetooth keyboard most of the time because I work between a macbook (that doesn't like USB-A without a dock or dongle) and a windows desktop.

I've thought about getting a USB switcher hub or a bluetooth dongle for the ergodox, but at that point I'm adding way too much bulk to my desk or bag if I decide to travel with it. I'm already pushing my luck when I try fitting it in my carry-on suitcase.

I wish there was a bluetooth Ergodox with MX low profile keyswitches+caps.
It is okay because website creators tolerate it. Once all website owners stop tolerating it, everybody would have to watch ads.

Just like if at the grocery store, you could choose to pay or not pay. It would be totally okay not to pay. But if the number of non-paying customers grew too much, the owners would make it mandatory to pay. This did not happen to the web yet.

Chile is a linear country. The most linear country on earth, in fact. In fact there was a map on reddit, (from memory) where each country was replaced in its geographic boundary by its name. It worked great for every country except Chile, where they succumbed to writing vertically "CHILE CHILE CHILE CHILE CHILE" totally exceptional killed the game.

At this point one must assume that these crazy elites will simply never realize they are absolutely wrong. If you're an average citizen with no recourse, I would prepare for this reality as soon as possible. The world over, these people are making it very clear and very obvious that their religion demands we all suffer--in the here and now, not in 30, 50, or 100 years like their religion claims we'll suffer. Their own policies, hubris, and, in my opinion, religious fervor and insanity, and going to get millions of people killed much sooner than anyone thinks.

You may be comfortable with the deaths of those around you, your own family, and maybe even your own death, but I guarantee nearly no one feels as you do. Those of us who still have a sane view of reality and aren't completely indoctrinated will fight and defend ourselves as humans under attack always have.
React is far better designed, though. Far fewer kludges. I like PHP, but it's not the same.

I think React is more like Kubernetes. Not the simplest way to do things, but standardised, various gotchas designed out, lots of ecosystem, and plenty of people who know how to use it.

I think something is very wrong, when the base of the economy - money - is so complicated, that only few people understand it. This just gives room for fraud and bad conspiracy theories (the jews control all the money! .. so I heard couple of times)

But a better alternative? Well, cryptocoins are not exactly simple either(despite their other flaws). And most other concepts I have heard of, are hellish in the details, too.
Agreed. I think a lot of people forgot how much pain we went through with Knockout and Angular 1 and similar magic frameworks. We seem doomed to repeat it, in some ways.

Reactivity is hard in any platform. If you don't like those, I wonder how you'd like the extensive use of rxjs in Angular.

I think svelte has taken the best part of the rxjs observable pattern without the PhD level of insanity in the reactive frameworks.

Beyond debouncing and throttling, the uses for rxjs style reactive patterns (all the variations of Subjects) gets super confusing fast. (Look at a moderate sized Angular app and you see the horror of types and brackets needed to handle http calls and errors correctly, for example).
That’s ironic because Vue 3 is soo much more React-like with the useThing() syntax.

Very happy owner of a moonlander. Can't recommend it enough.

Let's say you want to get into split keyboards but are worried about the learning curve.

The best thing you can do to prepare is ensure you can touch type correctly. "Crossing", or typing a key with the wrong hand, just simply won't be possible anymore.

Once you can get that down, your keyboard will have shipped and you can start practicing the thumb cluster once it arrives.

Don't bother with the fancy stuff, like layers or custom layouts, until you've mastered the two fundamentals above.

I expect the CIA polygraph detectors are super skilled and can detect if you're messing them around. Also I think there's a difference if you're trying to mess with a civilian polygraph detector (to cause confusion for a crime), verses one where you're trying to get a job at the agency.
Most discussed makes it sound like you highlight polarizing products, not necessarily just good ones. You may want to highlight your sentiment analysis on the front page. It took me some digging to find it.
Many people (used?) to do that as reminders. It was a cross device solution too when there’s was not that many simple, instant ways to share todos between devices.

So, an habit inherited from a time before app/web apps that sync and are in constant connection.
Back then I found that 11 had a noticable leap forward in terms of image quality, and in later version, I don't detect such an increment in quality.

As an example, I looked at this low-light photo comparison of the basic 11 and the 13 pro max:

https://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=5&idPhone1=11089...

Sometimes the later model's image looks a bit better, sometimes it's indistinguishable. Meanwhile the 13 pro max costs more than twice as much in my country.

I recently purchased their newer keyboard, the Moonlander MK I. I've been very happy with it so far! This is my first ortholinear layout, so it's taken some getting used to, but I've been very happy with the customizability and the programming process.

Yeah, but the government can collect money via taxes, which allows it to solve coordination problems that would be more difficult for private companies to solve.
The tide will only turn when a competitor arises who has a clear advantage over React. I've all of the major JS frameworks, and while they're all nice, none of them are a no-brainer as far as ditching React.

As with quitting anything addictive, the better mindset is: what do you get out of it, rather than what do you quit?
