Interesting. Good to know that I'm thinking in similar ways to Chris Lattner. Or I suppose it's possible that his blog post is only pandering to dumb ones like me who he knows will ask this dumb question so he's pre-emptively using it as a marketing point for his new platform. If I already have beta access to Mojo maybe I should start trying it out, even if I've been worried it will be some kind of proprietary platform like matlab or mathematica. It's sad that Lattner went from LLVM to such a thing but I guess everyone got to get their bag.
When the 100th attorney does this and doesn't get mentioned in the New York times, they won't be able to use the argument of "professional embarrassment" to reduce their sanction.

Reminds me of Carmageddon, that spring-like weapon which launched pedestrians over the map like a cannonball :) . (PS: I know about external airbags prototypes, it's just St. Elon might as well make a more powerful version, to go with the Cybertruck looks) :)
The allegations of bad faith on Reddit's end will make the upcoming subreddit protest shutdowns more spicy.
Storing leftovers in glass when the entire supply chain is plastic... would be interesting to know how futile this is.
Sure, but not all SW companies are HFT shops yet too many SW companies have open bus factors.
It's moves like these that will create the alternative to Reddit. It was this style of anti-consumer moves that killed Digg. History is repeating itself.

When I clean the lint out of my dryer, I can see a very faint cloud of particles.

Should I be worried about breathing those? I presume a portion of them are plastic from synthetic fibers. Should I be wearing a mask to load/unload the dryer?
It sounds like you and your wife have different values. I see a lot of people that share her opinion. It's hard for me to not be mad at them since their lack of care is what enables companies to act like this in the first place and not lose customers

Thank you! Yes, I've always felt it would be great if all types of businesses had the same resources that startups have. We get into this a bit in the handbook, but the lack of that is primarily because regular small businesses are a lot more varied in how they operate. My hope is that all types of businesses will trend toward the type of standardization that's in the startup world, because it really does reduce a lot of friction!
I am done with Reddit.
I would like this capability on any home router/cable-modem/FW
If you are "for" "clean water", but only in your specific, limited interpretation of what "clean water" means with zero connection to reality, you are not in support of clean water.
Yeah I had a shared office once where we'd never close the door and it just felt useless. I think part of what causes this though is management. If they are very concerned about seeing you work then it never works. But that generally means there's other issues since they are micromanaging instead of leading.
Just to inform random tourists that cheap travelling is not for them. You don't just go to the vending machine and pay a cheap price.
This is a very important revelation for people to have: the deal with Apple is they have complete control over your identity and data. It's slightly better than the deal with Google, FB, & Microsoft where they both control and sell your data to the highest bidder.

Apple's position on privacy is somewhat of an illusion and could disappear whenever they decide. Remember the CSAM debacle? https://www.wired.com/story/apple-photo-scanning-csam-commun...

I still think Apple is doing the best in the marketplace with respect to security and privacy, but if we're being honest they're playing the role of benevolent dictator.
Your typical modern American suburb is homes that would be three family homes 60 years ago on land that would fit three of those homes let alone a normal size house. All of this is subsidized by tax write-offs and gasoline that is 50% discounted relative to the rest of the developed world.

Most likely since you are using a newly created account, and an automated system does this. Happened to me as well and kept happening even after months. Was fixed swiftly after I contacted the site admin about it :)

Thats why I asked. And they are different.

If you throw a baseball in an accelerating enormous elevator in a vacuum, the baseball will follow a parabolic arc.

If you throw a baseball on the vacuum surface of a planet, it will almost (but not quite) follow a parabolic arc. The force of gravity is lower at the peak, unlike in the elevator where acceleration is constant everywhere in the elevator.

Therefore, you can distinguish gravity from acceleration
Maybe for Reddit and Apollo case, this is alright & makes sense. But at the risk of sounding pedantic, don't generalize it.

Most of our commodity software is built & deployed by packages, APIs and frameworks we have very little control on. We just hope things don't break/change as drastically and we can modularize our projects as much as we could, to bear some shock or disruption. Unlikely anyone can build & maintain consumer grade softwares ab initio
My favorite part about this is how it basically forces services to accept this as a functional scenario.

If it were UBlock Origin doing this, sites could just say "Sorry, we don't support this, your addin is breaking everything, please turn it off."

But when Apple does something, there's no room for conversation. Sites can't say "Sorry, we don't work on iPhones." For better or worse, what Apple decides becomes acceptable. In this case for better.
Local/cloud parity is a concern, though Localstack provides some options now that weren't available a few years ago.

This wouldn't address that issue at all. The people who want to have that influence would still choose to vote or participate in other ways. The rich, being a tiny minority group, wouldn't make much difference if they didn't vote at all in most elections.
(1) there is an often heard argument, or at least excuse, but it has problems. First, the cost problem is pretty much universal. Nuclear has stalled out everywhere (even in China it's experiencing cost problems and is underachieving). This suggests issues that go beyond local regulatory burdens. Second, what's the alternative? Just trusting the builders/operators to be good boys? That won't work. Appointing Philosopher King Regulators who can tell ahead of time just what regulations are actually necessary? How can they do that?

I will agree that one particular regulatory framework in the US could use serious rework or even revocation: NEPA, the law that requires laborious environmental impact statements. It's sand in the gears for dubious benefit for not just nuclear but all sorts of efforts. The big regulatory lawsuit that hit nuclear back in the 1970s involved NEPA (the "Calvert Cliffs Decision").

(2)'s first sentence would be a valid argument if the choice were between nuclear and climate change. But that's not the choice being made. That nuclear is better than climate change is damning with faint praise, the "it's better than a poke in the eye" of energy arguments.

As for naval reactors... putting a nuclear reactor in a ship increases the overall cost of building and operating that ship, compared to burning oil. And this is true even though burning oil is very uncompetitive for grid power generation. There's a reason the majority of the ships in the US Navy are not nuclear powered.
can Apollo just switch to supporting Lemmy.ml? That would be nice their UI kinda sucks at the moment.
That's the grandparent, but he is talking to the parent and he is right to point out the error in the parent's post. It's a bit strange to think the parent would believe that masks are new to healthcare, consider the most plausible interpretation instead.
Very clever people have located true intelligence in the gaps between what an machine can do and what a human can. Therefore, to show that you aren’t a starry-eyed rube you put a disclaimer that you aren’t really talking about intelligence, but something that just looks and acts like it.

True intelligence is, of course, definitionally the ability to do things like art or… err, wait, sorry, I haven’t checked recently, where have we put the goalposts nowadays?

Static host stuff on an S3 bucket / static web app. Blob storage account with a table, maybe an on-demand function app.

Sub $15/mo to run your thing until you get real demand, yeah. But its not new, the K8S shtick is coming from investors not tech people. And if its coming from the tech people throw them out of the door.

Why are you cooking for 8000 people when 6 are coming over? Why are you building a kitchen to cook for 8000 people. Why are you renting space to fit 8000 people.

You need a table and maybe 6 chairs who knows they might eat standing.
It's actually not that easy to get the ticket. The ticket is not just a ticket that you can but at a machine whenever you want, it's actually a subscription that at the moment can only be started at the beginning of the month and the request must be received something like 4 days before the end of the month, otherwise you slip to the next month. I'm not sure if there are additional conditions not covered here but I can imagine there are are lots of other quirks.
Or do, but have a contract in place that ensures longevity. Of course not applicable in this case, but just addressing the generality of the statement, "Do not build your entire business on someone else's API."
I also have a Chrome extension that needs access to page content on all pages, for the purpose of making text easier to read.

I could see distinguishing between extensions that in any way exfiltrate data from the pages you view, versus extensions that process the DOM and do something locally, but never send the data anywhere.

This requires a bit closer vetting than Google currently does, I think. To demonstrate that all processing happens locally, we encourage our users to load various websites with our extension toggled off, then go into airplane mode, and then turn our extension on. This doesn't strictly guarantee that we're not separately exfiltrating data (we aren't), but it does prove that our core process happens locally.
various places say you can keep unwashed eggs in a fridge for up to six months: https://www.outdoorhappens.com/how-long-do-farm-fresh-eggs-l...

> Unwashed farm fresh eggs last for two weeks to a month at room temperature. After that, you must store them in the fridge. If you refrigerate freshly laid eggs, they should last for three to six months in an airtight container.

However, Americans have an obsession with washing eggs, which makes them not last as long. I wonder if they could get permission to have unwashed eggs.
We'e seeing this one, but it contains no relevant content, so wouldn't be surprising if it was soon flagged.

You can build virtue and good character and still manage your career in a way that puts yourself and your family first. I'm not buying that the only way to build character is to work for below market rate so someone else can make money and then forget you when it's not convenient any longer.

Asymmetric loyalty is a dead end. Deriving your virtue and character from your job is also a fools errand and a myth that is perpetuated by anti-labor capitalists to line their pockets before they absolve themselves of equal social responsibility.

Build character and exercise virtue by making your community and family richer.
Oh, the boundless optimism. How cute.

The tired “don’t build on someone else’s api” lesson doesn’t apply to this case because Apollo is specifically a method for accessing Reddit: Apollo wouldn’t exist without Reddit. The outcome here is sad, yes, but the author built a wildly successful app and made great money for close to a decade: a disappointing end does not discredit the journey.

I think he means that the IV caffeine cost much more than a cup of Starbucks would have.
Every single notable experiment I was taught about in Psychology class has shown to not be reproducible at all. What am I misunderstanding?
People have tried to create alternatives to Reddit numerous times over previous controversies. It never sticks. I don't see this time being different.
Off the top of my head:

1. Field of view is limited to existing optics miniaturization

2. Subtractive shading (rendering black) might not be solvable

3. Variable focus objects in the same scene requires projecting n>2 significantly different wavefronts - not solved how to do this with a single vibrating element
If I were a 20-something all over again and taking weekend trips all over Germany and where money was more important than time, I would be all over this. Taking the train is an adventure in its own right, so it's ok if it takes a little longer to get there.

That said, we are hoping to take a 10 day trip to Germany in November. For a short tourist hop, it probably doesn't make sense for us to use this ticket given that time is of the essence (IE: take the ICE). We might buy the Bahn card though to lock in some discounts.
I learned the hard way: Incorporation seems easy but man can it be a huge pain when done poorly. Before I do it again, I'm reading this guide.

One recommendation: Add a section on winding down a corporation. This is difficult and easy to get wrong and can be quite costly when things do go wrong :)
I should have included product quality explicitly in the list of things to optimize, my bad. That's, at least, what I was trying to communicate I wrote the comment.

But also, quality and productivity are not totally separate, let's not be coy. If you can't collaborate effectively then both productivity and quality can take hits.
The Apollo app had much better performance than the official Reddit app. However, the design of the app was amateurish and hideous to look at. The official Reddit app is actually designed by designers and it shows.
Specific issues from when I used it for a bit to create image posts a year ago:

- On my screen size, it was incredibly hard to navigate the profile. The profile header covered over half the screen
- Notifications were often bugged
- You can only have one thing open at once - no way to quickly toggle between two pages. Apollo at least has four buttons in the bottom you can use to go to seperate pages
- It was extremely laggy
- It sends notifications by default for random junk ("your post got one upvote!!!" "check out this trending subreddit;!!!") and at least once there was a server bug where it ignored me having turned those off and sent marketing notifications anyway

The real issue for me is it just feels bad to use. Everything lags, it constantly loses my place, ...

new.reddit was nice, I was using it back in the beta period. But it's so slow. It's barely usable. Opening a reddit thread from google if I'm not signed in shows like three comments and a bunch of random unrelated junk. Opening new reddit when I am signed in just feels slow. Every action pauses for a moment to do a bunch of react rerenders.

I don't know if they've fixed it by now but back two years ago it was doing react rerenders of practically the whole page while moving the mouse.

Using the mobile app feels similarly bad to using new.reddit
Starbucks is like $5 per 100-200mg. IV caffeine is like $500 per 100-200mg.
> having the company's livelihood depend on one developer, you're dysfunctional at best

This is the sort of banal nonsense that seems to be obviously true on its face but bears no semblance to reality. In fact, it illustrates the classic East coast vs Valley divides. The original team of secdb was half a dozen people. Each of them was invaluable & their code managed literally a few trillion USD of the world economy. person who wrote the proprietary graph language & compiler for that system was 1 single hotshot c++ guy on the standards committee, who also wrote a chapter in the programming pearls book. gs continues to use secdb & the firm is over 150+ years & counting. Meanwhile, the Valley startups I worked for since - they had this idea that everybody must know everything, all knowledge is diffuse etc. Lot of time taken in teaching backend programmers javascript, frontend guys system infra...all out of goodness of their heart. End result, neither the startup nor the programs we wrote lasted even a decade, even in the best case. In fact, median tenure in these places was under 2 years, whereas most east coasters are lifers.

Yes the title is sensationalist. The real question in the body of the article is "What's the ideal programming language for LLMs to output?" I thought that question was interesting and I'd already posted a 'ask hacker news' about this yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36222844
Fresh plastic, however. Newly made food-grade plastics will 'leak' a lot less microplastics than anything you reuse.
I'm on Android rather than Apple, but I could install the HVV app on my UK phone and buy tickets using my UK card with no particular difficulty. Maybe other transport associations are more difficult, but I'm not sure why they'd want to make it hard for me to give them money.
Well, except in the real world whatever amount of nanoplastics we're consuming we consume for decades, starting from in utero.

It's obviously not possible to give a mouse a smaller dose of microplastics over 30 years and measure the cognitive effects.

This is all to say -- your prior shouldn't be "this thing that was never supposed to go into the body is safe until proven otherwise"
I definitely agree that we can do more to help moderate mental illness, and that a lot of things can be more communal than clinical. That's all great.

But we need to recognise that actually, there are people who can't be helped this way, who need more than just any talk at all, and that clinical psychologists have a lot of useful expertise on how to help these people, that can't simply be written off as unscientific or just a friendly conversation. There's a lot more to it than that.
> Steve: "Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million." Steve: "This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us."

I can't believe that CEO of Reddit was telling internal people that Apollo tried to blackmail Reddit for a $10 million payout when that didn't happen.
What SQS has to do with EC2?

One is a queuing service, the other one is a VM.

So instead of using SQS that has $0 cost when there are no customers, you suggest I install, configure and run RabbitMQ on an EC2, to save $0 when there are no customers?

Or save $1 when I have 100 customers? SQS is dirt cheap.

The point of SQS or any other usage-based AWS _developer_ service compared to DIY is that you can be up and running in minutes at a minuscule cost.

I agree with you about over-engineering and building a distributed "microservices" architecture when you have no customers.

But I'll pick SQS any time of the day when I need queueing functionality to increase my developer velocity so I can focus on building value rather than wasting my life installing, configuring and running anything on EC2.
It breaks the web. There are literally no real rules on how you use them, so you have a lot of things that will be confused with tracking (gclid,clickid,campaign, etc). Even stuff that was originally tracking gets re-used. I've worked on systems where utm_medium=web and utm_keyword=socks were used to literally query the landing page for the user and effectively were the U in URL.
Looks like they've fixed it. Or added some exception.
It's not a hyperbole lmao. Now you get to be the one who is pedantically corrected for no reason
This is great - thanks!
Sounds great, I already use an addon to do this, but its nice to fight against marketing whenever we can. Good to have more users doing this.

The only negative I can see, is that this might long-term reduce functionality. I personally have a bad habit of passing data through URLs out of laziness/practicality.

Real quick, could you not download an addon that did this before? If you could, this seems potentially malicious, need to keep everyone on the App store and hurt the web.
I would almost always go with what the team or someone on it was most familiar with and can setup in less than a day. I think it should include an easy way to scale at least for a few months to come, a reasonable way to provision more capacity, a managed database, a CDN, backups, access and error logging and a simple but automatic deployment pipeline.

At work we use ECS Fargate, Aurora MySQL and Bitbucket pipelines to host a little over 100 client web applications. It takes about an hour to configure a new AWS account and staging/production environments for a new client using Cloudformation (and a number manual steps) and the monthly AWS cost is around $100. There are cheaper ways and probably easier ways, but we feel like we have reached a good balance between stability, ease of use, cost and features. And we are not that worried about being tied to AWS.
