What I've learned trying to analyse my preference for vertical tabs is that it's not so much about saving horizontal space vs vertical space. It's more just about showing more information on screen before needing to scroll.

With regular horizontal tabs you either squeeze all tabs to fit the window width, in which case you stop being able to read page titles at some point. Or you have a horizontal scroll on the tab bar which also means you can only read so many titles on screen (probably fewer) before needing to scroll.

The vertical tabs switch this up by being able to show a larger number of tab titles before you have to scroll down. Of course this depends on the width of your vertical tab sidebar but having word wrap or configurable height on horizontal tab bars isn't ever presented as an option so can't compare.

Another clue to understanding my preference was when I realised I actually really like being able to have multiple rows of horizontal tabs vs a horizontally scrolling tab bar. So I think it just came down to the density of information visually available before having to do any scrolling.

I do think it all just comes down to personal preferences and muscle memory and individual use cases (for example, some people like having 50+ tabs open, others don't). So I am very hesitant to call one approach better. I just don't understand why we can't have both options more available everywhere.
Then I think you're missing my actual point.

You gave anecdotes about volunteering at non-profit, like your church. I don't attend church myself, but doing non-profit things to help a community is definitely laudable. And I think the more we all do activities like that, we'd have a better community and eventually a better country.

But there is definitely a difference between non-profit volunteering labor (where the sum of your labor is enjoyed by everyone attending), and being a subreddit moderator.

Reddit is a for-profit company, where they derive their profit from 2 different areas: people contributing their personal content, and people moderating for free the areas of a topic. And real paid moderators get real money on other platforms. Why doesn't reddit? Cause they were able to get users to "make-believe" that their subreddit was theirs.

You're there to make the admins profit. And when your subreddit no longer does that, "ownership" is transferred rather quickly. Or your mod accounts will be mass-reported and banned. Or a whole host of other issues. Earlier on, seeing banned subreddits wasn't a thing. Now, I can stumble in from a Google search and hit a banned sub. And we're talking technical subreddits, not porn or violence.

And just how long have bigger subreddits been requesting better automod tooling, and never materializes?

Reddit sucks the oxygen out of the "community" to feed its profit, and provides scraps to make people think they're getting a good deal.

We're now seeing the furtherance of this with this laughable API bill. And it's not targeted at Apollo, btw. Head over to Youtube shorts or Tiktok and witness just how many "bot reads a reddit post with top 2 comments, with unrelated minecraft video". "Scrape-add video-upload" is the big thing I would bet that reddit's trying to stop without paying a pound of flesh.

But still, I'd start looking for other platforms to move your userbase to. Just casually set up offsite operations along with your subreddit, and steer users to all non-reddit areas. (Discord, Mastodon, Twitter, even Facebook) Cause when Reddit finally goes Digg v4, it's going to be crazy.

> And no, it's not entirely about low-education traditionalist groups, certainly not in Israel.

Yes it is, Israel’s high fertility rate is driven by tribes that either explicitly or implicitly influence how many children they want by restricting their financial independence. Same story with all the other countries you listed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel

> The ethnic group with highest recorded TFR is the Bedouin of Negev. Their TFR was reported at 10.06 in 1998, and 5.73 in 2009. TFR is also very high among Haredi Jews. For Ashkenazi Haredim, the TFR rose from 6.91 in 1980 to 8.51 in 1996. The figure for 2008 is estimated to be even higher. TFR for Sephardi/Mizrahi Haredim rose from 4.57 in 1980 to 6.57 in 1996.[30] In 2020 the overall Jewish TFR in Israel (3.00) was for the first time measured higher than Arab Muslim TFR (2.99).

Look at the graph here of the fertility rates of different types of Jews:

I could almost stomach paying for reddit premium IF they allowed unfettered API access (within reason I guess) AND if they actually supported their API for all new features. As it stands the API is woefully behind what their site/apps allows and I trust them about as much as I trust Twitter's whole "now that you are paying it's going to get better".

The shitty thing here is iOS/Android devs that do find a way to pass through to cost might price themselves out of the 15% tier even when 90%+ of the money they collect (after the Apple/Google tax) is going to just be handed to Reddit. That might screw up the economics of any other IAP they have (to unlock features or what not).

They can raise prices to account for the extra 15% loss but still sucks. Apollo alone would hit Apple/Google's 15% rate limit in less than a month and even if it lost 19/20th of it's users it'd still hit it for the year given his estimates.

Recently I was pointed to this story about an older man who (for 20 years or so) has been training puppies to be service animals which are donated to those in need of service dogs but can’t afford them.

Part of this training involves taking the puppies to elementary schools for socialization. The kids love seeing the puppies, the dog learns, and the trainer loves what he’s doing.

He spends about a year with the dogs then they are given up. He spends his own money and time raising and training these dogs.

Related: was talking with a neighbor about this story and we both agreed that it would be nice if we saw more of this in papers and local news instead of all the negativity.
Hyundai had terrible engine and transmission problems in the 2010s. A local dealer was offering 20 year warranties to get them off the lot. There was a Reddit post of a 300k+ Kia that had gone through something like 7 engines and 4 transmissions. They basically 4 new cars worth of engine and transmission parts.

They have great styling that’s comparable to German cars. I wish the US automakers could take some hints. From what I’ve heard the Genesis lineup is very luxurious.
The moderators of major subreddits are extremely authoritarian. There must be a middle ground between free-for-all and thought police.
SETI: A Scientific, Technical, Political, Social, and Cultural Adventure
My biggest gripe with the Reddit UI is having to continually click expand to see nested/additional comments. It makes it difficult to read comments on a topic. I much prefer the HN approach of open by default with a collapse/expand button.

It used to be that clicking outside the central border of comments would navigate you back to the subreddit, but it looks like they have fixed that.
I'm trying to get some general knowledge of how databases are typically managed to avoid staying in Notion workaround longer than I have to. I'm just unfamiliar with other solutions so I don't have anything to compare against. I guess it would have been better to frame the question as what would be a good alternative to learn as a general starting point.
Unfortunately, Mito only works in JupyterLab and Jupyter notebooks right now. Support for VSCode and Google Colab is on the roadmap.

Sketch of a Post-ORM
Availability of C++ tooling is much, much closer to availability of C tooling (often it's the same tool!) compared to Rust. Adopting Rust isn't the same category of conversion at all.

For new side projects, pick what you want to use of course. But for existing codebases and projects that aspire to have maximum impact, I recommend fully considering tradeoffs instead of thinking in terms of "clear winners".
States weren't as rigid in the past. Those Tassis family portraits or whatever cannot be meaningfully separated into "state funded" and "privately funded" because the family's wealth was deeply tied to their relationship with various states.
Yes. It’s in the preferences section only when you’re logged in. I notice it as I use multiple accounts somewhat sporadically and it seems like when I log into one after a while it’s almost always back on new Reddit. I’m not alone in complaining about this - plenty of threads on Reddit mentioning this.

Count me as another person who frequently adds site:reddit.com to my google searches. I realize there's a lot of astroturfing that goes on there, but it's still useful when I want to get a pulse from real people.

Also count me as another person who abhors the "new" UI. Every once in a while I get bounced out of the old UI and I don't know how people do it. The old UI isn't my perfect UI but it's darn near close to it.
I use the Offline Reader app. It downloads a few subreddits on wifi and I can read them on my commute without using expensive cell data and underground where there is none. I suppose that app will be killed too :(
Why would an actor with a reliable zero-click need to persist past a reboot? That appears to be the claim in the article, update blocking plus on-demand reinfection.
Under list of (end-user) language features, the author says:

> I also think garbage collectors add more complexity than manual management

That's quite the controversial statement and flies in the face of what GC has enabled in software development generally over the last few decades.

I would be excited to understand some examples where this is the case and they outweigh the benefits that GC brings to developing software (incl. games).

In the author's list of similar languages (https://macoy.me/code/macoy/cakelisp/src/branch/master/doc/V...) they mention two other lisp-like languages without GC: Liz (transpiles to Zig) and GameLisp (seamless Rust API).
Interesting. I don’t think it’s a big enough annoyance for me to install yet another extension. Moreover, since I use old Reddit on my phone, I’d still have to change it back.
The problem with bundling is it becomes harder to justify the more stuff you do not use. Prime Video already caused this for those who just wanted shipping.
I feel like you just wanted to reference some studies you enjoy and call them bangers, because only the last one could be considered similar to the linked study, and even then, only barely and superficially.
Except that it never happened.
New and old reddit use different markdown rendering engines. New reddit is able to handle the slashes introduced by the new reddit WYSIWYG editor, it also supports fenced code blocks.

Old reddit supports neither resulting in broken links and broken code blocks.
Outlaw modern-day corporate trafficking. You cannot buy pieces of a person; corporations are legally people; you should not be able to buy pieces of them.

Remove the corporate veil. All liability will rest upon a corporation's guardians. Bankruptcy, and civil and criminal suits, will personally affect the officers and shareholders of said corporation (and their assets). The same way, if your child goes out drinking and driving, the parents are now liable for any people slaughtered along the way; or if your dog goes out and mauls some child, it will be put down and you will face restitution for damages.
I'm also not following this

I believe it's more to make sure that others also continue to share their research.

Or also a general genuine good mindset of people involved in those groups.
So many of these conversations could be easier if there would not be `length()` functions but `length_in_<whats_exactly>()` functions instead.
I know the person who was in charge of the redesign. This may sound unbelievable, but she was not a reddit user prior to working at reddit or being put in charge of the redesign. Really nice person, but they did a terrible job.
It would fade
Same here. Typos bother me. Rather than complaining, I just submit a PR to fix particularly egregious ones.
It also puts more focus on visual content on the main page instead of buried under the links. Personally I hate this. I prefer about a 90-95% text to visual ratio.
The app I use is "Now for Reddit", and their ads (Google Ads) were very unobtrusive, a tiny strip of pixels at the bottom of the viewport. Reddit's ads are right there in the feed as you scroll, like Twitter or Instagram.

I paid $5 to get rid of the ads anyway.
Because he states that he doesn't?

> I use a beefy desktop at home and at my office, but when I’m out and about I usually have a laptop with me to hack around on.
Why should the apps have to pay? Why can't reddit provide a paid version that allows you to access the APIs, which the external apps can then use? You already have to log in to them anyhow so it's not like you'd need an extra API key or anything. $20/year is probably an order of magnitude more then they make on ads served to me.

The weirdest thing about the ad economy to me isn't that it exists, but as I've banged on before, that the companies will cling to it even when people are begging to pay money to get rid of them. These companies make virtually nothing per year in ads and make up for it in scale.

Latest easy stat I can find [1] is $350 million of ad revenue in 2021. Certainly this is less than $2/year from most active users. I'm willing to outbid them by an order of magnitude easily. If even 1% of the user base follows along that's a lot of money.

I don't understand why these companies are so insistent on bending their entire platforms around ad revenue to the exclusion of all else, when "all else" is so much money for someone already scraping pennies from people. Besides, a lot of ad spend was tied to ZIRP; I would think that while the ad business as a whole is certainly in no danger of disappearing, now is a great time for any ad-focused business to be diversifying because spends are very likely to go down in the medium-term, if not the short term. A lot of economic signals are flashing "recession" and ad spend tends to get hit pretty hard in that context. A solid base of subscribers paying real money for your service is a better foundation to go into that sort of economic environment than being solely dependent on ads. (Obviously, a recession will hit your subscriber base too, but that's stickier than ad spend I expect.)

(And an obligatory observation that they are shoving ads in your face, tracking your every move, crafting something you spend hours a week on to increase your advertiser profile value in your every interaction, deploying every addictive psychological trick they can think of to keep you active, and fundamentally polluting at a deep and profound level the entire social sphere of damned near the entire species... for pennies a month. That's all. Pennies a month. They're not even making the money you think they are. They're doing all this to you and the collective social sphere for a few pennies a month.)

Really informative post on how to do this "by hand"!

I use https://trips.furkot.com (which is free) for this kind of trip planning. It is fantastic to determine how much stuff you can fit in a day, taking into account when you want to start/end your day, driving time, stops for food, time spent at any road-side attractions, overnight stays, ticketed events (to ensure you arrive on time), etc. It's an incredible resource that seems to "fly under the radar".
I suspect primarily substring, where if you index by bytes you'll mangle the string, but if you index by codepoints everything works out.
> I also addressed my confusion regarding the sales-related questions.

This is on you for not realising that "solutions" = "sales" most of the time. My reaction is that, yes, of course they'll ask you sales questions, it's a sales position.

Their process is fine; it's just that your expectations of the job and the actual job weren't aligned and you found out a bit too late.
Also heared the story in my childhood. The reason they are keep doing that is that the loader guy is missing and they are not going to be paid unless a reward from some work.

Good point but it's also a pretty small open source python script. Looks like everything is handled on-device in this case (at least at the time of writing this comment).
> Folding@home is one of the world's fastest computing systems. With heightened interest in the project as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[8] the system achieved a speed of approximately 1.22 exaflops by late March 2020 and reached 2.43 exaflops by April 12, 2020,[9] making it the world's first exaflop computing system. This level of performance from its large-scale computing network has allowed researchers to run computationally costly atomic-level simulations of protein folding thousands of times longer than formerly achieved. Since its launch on October 1, 2000, Folding@home was involved in the production of 226 scientific research papers.[10] Results from the project's simulations agree well with experiments.[11][12][13]

Very nice. Though I just assumed everyone had their own tool to create release notes from commit messages. I made my first one almost 20 years ago, worked pretty well. Had a nice JSON entry generator that would provide a nice entry we'd add to each commit detailing the features, fixes, ignore, etc. On release, our CI/CD would process that and create both the online and text versions of the release notes/changelog.

The page mentions AI, hopefully isn't using GPT for it. Believe processing with NLTK is likely good enough to parse, process and generate equivalent metadata without needing a specified structure as we had.

If you wanted even better results, could probably train a basic model on how release notes look and process the NLTK output through the resulting transformer to get something looking even better without needing to rely on 3rd party API calls.

Product-thinking entrepreneur in active founder recovery; I'm currently looking for some work. I build MVPs and dreams faster than anyone.
I was hired from a "Who's hiring" post!

I was able to join a great company with an incredible tech team and get a pay raise. When I interviewed with the CTO, they seemed happy that I heard about the roll on HN. I later found out they post on the who's hiring posts monthly.
That's an interesting idea. When converting an Excel workbook to Python, checking your work as you go is the hardest thing for us to convince people to do. (See here: https://blog.trymito.io/automating-spreadsheets-with-python-...). So tools to make that double checking process easier are really interesting to us.

I've personally never seen a Mito users with a detailed enough spec of their report that an LLM would be able to use it to check compliance -- but maybe if we built the functionality users would create them...
I would posit 'was' one of the most useful sites.

Like OP said there's certainly niche subreddits.

What grew Reddit for me was the informed comments that were generally related to the discussion and often brought more light to a topic than the posted article.

With voices leaving Reddit the point or appeal of it is gone. For me at least.
