I worked at Google for 10 years and I always tried to make myself a cubicle by getting a corner desk and then getting soundproof barriers. Cubicles got a bad rap but open plan offices are way worse.
Power users who generate the content that makes Reddit valuable to begin with.
Looks like I will be quitting Reddit on the 30th then. I refuse to use their dumpster fire known as the official app.
Such a beautiful design, does it support Vue or is it only for React?
You mean Lemmy in general? Lemmy.ml is just one of many Lemmy servers. Though there's some discussion coming up on how things are going in Lemmy regarding anything surrounding any criticism of China or Russia.

So far, there's been attempts to spin up new servers to mitigate issues on lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml while others are looking to Kbin which also federates with Lemmy but uses separate software.
If it operates on more than one domain, it needs those permissions to function based on how the permissions system works. You can limit those yourself in the settings page for the extension, but everything else is basically workarounds applied to avoid that permission.

For example, a web clipper operates on multiple domains, but it can avoid it by using activetab permission instead and then offering optional permissions if it wants when you click on the clipper extension icon.

If you want something to be done automatically on multiple domains, this is not possible without that permission. Not unless you want to annoy users with prompts.
Depends, could be a cart leading a horse situation.

As in: Maybe Lemmy has bad UX which is why it craters adoption.

Spending some resources on an Apollo version with Lemmy support sounds like a good idea assuming the dev time can be recouped.

Since Apollo is a paid app I think there's a more direct path to financial relevance than number of eyes in ads. :)
I am an active user of Orion! I'd like Safari-based apps to be better, if only so I can also use them as such on iPad and iPhone.
Good point, I totally forgot that he was caught editing posts directly in the production DB https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-stev...
Yes, it's annoying and it comes and goes at random.

I would like to test that but when clicking different links I get mixed results. The URLs get modified alright but a lot of referrer info seems to not get removed.

I guess its just Google collecting one more metric.
Yes. Stars should be removed frankly. The fact they admit new actions without any review or awareness alone is scary.

However IAM isn’t really for humans. It is just really hard to reason about roles programmatically. Some of the new minimal rights discovery from cloud trail analysis leads to an interesting pattern I’ve not seen a lot of : in lower environments permissions are wide open, but a capture of the required roles happens pre-prod and is used and tested against in preprod then promoted to production. This seems like a really useful pattern, and it exposes where your integration tests are incomplete.
That’s an opinion that I’m not really sure matters for the conversation at hand. It’s not about if Apollo is good, it’s about how Apollo is being treated.

You are free to use what ever you want, and that’s the point. This removes everything but the Reddit app.
As much as the locking down of iOS is annoying for everybody technical, we should be somewhat thankful that Apple has ensured a large population of mobile safari users.
VR keyboards are really tricky.

The Oculus Quest can pair with a real-life Logitech K830 and display it to you via a combination of pass-through and rendering it in your VR environment (most of the time its rendered, when you type some pass-through is used to show you your real hands as they move over the keyboard). I tried to use it, it was impressive but ultimately still awkward. Moving the text cursor around is awkward.

I don't think even Apple are going to be able to make VR typing nice enough that you can actually do work there. Talking, sure. Writing code on a massive screen floating infront of your face? I think thats still quite some years away from being a nice experience.
Artificial intelligence with superhuman cognitive capabilities has never been made before, so of course there will be a whole constellation of new words and terminology and connotations to go along with it. There is also a corporate rush to stake claims on these words, for example words like 'perplexity' and 'scale' and 'stability' and every word like that is already the name of companies and some are billion dollar companies. Some old words will get new connotations.
Tapbots building a good app for Mastodon after Tweetbot got killed didn't suddenly push Mastodon into a top-tier social network.
That just makes it more complicated.

If my company, which I own, loans me 1bn usd for .1% interest, I have an asset and a big negative income. So I am very poor.

Or take me and my neighbours: I earn 120k (so I am rich), and pay a very high rent (so I am rich with no disposable income or assets!?). Meanwhile they own a >1mUSD property, pay no rent and have only 40k (tax free income). So they are poor as they spend 3.5k a month!?

People have been subconsciously and unintentionally sold this idea that wealth and income are related. They are at best very weakly related, and often in specific cases that relationship is negative.
Its interesting to see what it thinks about some ideas, like I ask, what 5 companies are best at marketing. My goal here is to be hypercritical of the companies it says because they are masters at manipulation. GPT3.5 was awful and confused advertising and marketing. GPT4 was perfect (Apple, Nike, Coke, Amazon, P&G)

As much as chatgpt doesnt want to give you answers because the fuzziness, it has the ability to make judgements on things like "This is the best" or "This is the worst".

Ofc with bias.
Me, I’m counting!
Yeah, that would be a cool idea. Will put it on my ToDo list.

Nice catch on Heligoland. Thanks. The final journey is via Schiff and I had not filtered that out. However, I don't know if DB categorizes Schiff that are included or excluded from the 49 Euro ticket.
Sounds a bit like the Renovate bot https://docs.renovatebot.com/, but with LLM changelog parsing.

I started using Renovate on a few project recently and I am impressed. Not quite yet to the point of letting it merge dependency updates for me, but for unearthing them and creating a pull request (after which my tests run automatically) is already a big help.
How is it "voter suppression" for rich people to be more willing to drop $20 to avoid a trip to the polls?
Doesn't even have to be an invasion. Industrial espionage, IP theft, cyberattacks against critical infrastructure... plenty of hostile acts that aren't all-out war which can be facilitated by having a compromised insider.
Much poorer countries than the US manage their mental health issues better. Could the root of the problem be in political attitudes rather than raw money?

Most users won’t opt for a refund from Apollo. People are on his side.

This is exactly what I am afraid of, we use url query parameters heavily to prefill forms for our employees and clients, think online training and service agreements. This will break a lot of our operation.
While I do agree that thread is different, it'd make sense to reply to that thread about it instead of this one.
I feel tempted to use sarcasm here.

Train tickets are often tied to a name - especially when you have a reserved seat. So are bus/train cards.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see anything new here.

Meanwhile cars have a lot more and a lot older surveillance infrastructure behind them with mandatory license plates, driving licenses, insurance and whatnot.

The highest anonymity is achieved through cycling and/or walking.
Exactly. The stuff gets paid from taxes anyway. Let's be honest. The 49EUR doesn't cover the cost.

So why bother with the overhead in the first place? Make it free for everyone to use to hop/on/off as they please, like Luxembourg has done.
Forget the metaverse. For $3,500, Apple offers a new way to be alone
I flagged this because it's a video of a computer showing a video.
Yeah this is a real UX conundrum, because the whole windows/tabs paradigm right now is kind of confused.

Like when I use Google Docs, I've usually got several open as separate tabs in my browser. If I wanted Docs as a webapp, it wouldn't have the tabs functionality anymore, which would make it immediately useless. In the way that every IDE or Photoshop now use tabs inside the app.

We're at this place now where I actually wish tabs weren't handled by applications but rather by the OS, together with windows. Let me create a window that has three Chrome tabs, a Safari tab, a Terminal tab, and a Preview tab. Another window with a Word (installed) doc tab, an image in Photoshop tab, and several Finder tabs.

The fact that web apps can't be tabbed is almost this weird step backwards.
Good. I wish the internet would go the way of the Gemini Project and, by default have privacy-centric behavior. I'm tried to every company thinking I want to be tracked; I do not. I want simple services that do the thing I ask them to do and no more.
Just because an extension can do that, doesnt mean they are sending your info to a server.

You can stop now. Web 2.0 social media is dead and web3 is unrefined garbage.

Cohere Announces $270M Series C
Most of the content on reddit is created by power users who are more likely to use 3rd party tools. Most people who use the official app only consume content.
What does it mean to actually understand why the sky is blue?

What are the specifics characteristics of a hypothetical AI system that you would feel comfortable giving the label of “understanding” to?
The question is: what are queueing for zero customers?
Reddit's whole value proposition is user generated content (and moderation).

Labeling that as "only costs" is extremely shortsighted.
It is a shame it came to this. The primary way I use Reddit is via Apollo so I guess I won’t be using Reddit as much.

On the web I still use old.reddit.com but I can see them killing that off sooner or later.
Apple automatically grants refunds unless you opt out. Tweetbot did a big push trying to get people to opt out of the refund.
Could it be that all these complainers about going back to work don't want to lose out on their 2nd job?

Expat in Germany since 2014, no car.

I can attest that I had a few trips where I could not sit anywhere for at least 75% of the trip.

Some were on RE ... but not all. It can happen also on ICE, albeit is less probable.
Unless the website decides to enforce attestation and not allow that.
They haven't answered me since June 6th.

The closer you are to the final customer the better is your chance to bill for the value you deliver (standing on a fragile cobbled together set of third party components). The short term rewards strongly favor relying on others. The business dynamic compounds this as it places a premium on first movers. Going against this dynamic must be carefully considered and only makes sense in isolated cases (where it is the winning move).
Bullshit. They tax anything and everything in Germany. There's taxes on insurance, taxes on tobacco, taxes on fuel...

As a random example here is a tax for sparkling wines. No, not import custom fees. A tax.

Unless there is another job offering with similar compensation/benefits/etc. I'm not sure most employees will be able to do anything. "Leaders" and bold-faced lies are a duo as old as time. Macroeconomic conditions have many chained to their shitty bosses.
Why are you like this?

World annual investments on energy was about 2.5 trillion last year for new stuff plus 4 trillion going to oil and gas producers[0].

Here's what that looks like:

$22bn: ■
$6.5tn:

■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■
■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■

Even PV, which is also growing fast and is much larger than your headlines for new investments ($22bn, and they won't all happen, and those which do are not all in the same year), is only about 6% of global electricity.

And worse, the quantities that matter are energy and power, which are again "that's an interesting proof of concept" level, not "wow, fantastic, this has really changed things" (much as I want it to).

What you have with hydrogen — and remember, I like hydrogen, and have made some myself even back when I was a single-digit age — is still smaller than the current annual production of just batteries, which you dismiss.

If the batteries were bad for the reasons you gave in some of your other comments, hydrogen would be a joke. I don't think hydrogen is a joke, but the evidence is that it's still niche rather than a general solution with all current tech.

The guy insisting on having an hours long zoom meeting at his desk is actually a lot more distracting than my cat.

What kind of obligation is Reddit under to allow Apollo to continue? They’ve made a decision they think (rightly or wrongly) is in the long-term interests of the company.

How long will Reddit survive if they don’t do this? I have no idea. But I do know the CEO has to deliver more than happy users.
Mods and other power users.
It is fine as long as you have or can make enough trains, busses and people who staff them. Those are finite resources. Since the external costs of car traffic are so high, even free public transport would probably make sense from the societal perspective.
EV production is one thing, other is charging.
I would love to invest in EV but in many EU countries there is basically no public charging infrastructure.

and if you live in apartment there is usually no way to charge at home.
Are chemists typically good at writing AI tools? Is the fact that they are professors interested in catching students cheating instead of adapting their methods relevant?
They also made the same claim in r/partnercommunities too, not just internally.

I see two pretty distinct issues here: 1) most people's favourite app is going to die, and 2) many subreddits will be negatively affected by this move: prime example is /r/AskHistorians.

Personally, 1) is not really an issue and people are enjoying the outrage train, and that's ok and valid and whatever, but it's a third party app. It's a no-brainer decision to try to kill it if it's hindering your ability to make more money. At the mid term is a great incentive for Reddit to improve their shitty app experience ("but Ads!" yeah, ads of course, you're not paying shot for using it, it's an impopular but pragmatic business model)

But 2) it's the one that's really concerning. Hopefully they reverse this course for this point specifically cause this has a measurable impact on eyeballs, which ultimately means money.

inb4: "Apollo dying means less eyeballs too dummy", yeah as I mentioned before the outrage is the fad. Once it passes, will see how much people actually leaves (little to none alternatives for Reddit btw). My bet is that could result in a small hump, if anything, in the long run.
I live in Portland. My advice for you would be to avoid staying (or even visiting if possible) in downtown and Old Town. The Pearl is not too safe either, although things are starting to look up. However, there are plenty of neighborhoods that are thriving. The Nob Hill neighborhood in Northwest Portland, Clinton/Division in Southeast Portland for example are alive and buzzing. Try staying there and explore these neighborhoods. I guarantee you'll have a wonderful time.
Who expected comfortable travel all over Germany for one month only paying 49 euros?

Our local public transportation communter card costs twice that lol
This feels like an interesting insight into not just why LLMs might have trouble understanding some code, but also why people might have trouble understanding some code.

I wonder how gpt handles code where multiple objects of the same class call the same methods and each individual object calls the same methods with different threads as well as method local variables, class member variables, and static member variables are all in play. [Being fair to our LLM brethren; us meat sacks are sure to hate that hypothetical code as well.]
Having internet money that is cross border, instant, efficient and censorship resistant is difficult to build, so it takes time, but it's incredibly valuable as it removes a lot of frictions.
I don't have any dogs in this race, but Apollo should be careful about recording calls. Just because he is in a one-party location doesn't mean he hasn't violated the law wherever the other party is if they are in a two-party location and he didn't have consent from the other party.
For what it's worth, I'm looking forward to July 1. Twitter had become a chore, but I didn't quit altogether until I was pushed out by losing the one client I found decent. It's been for the better. Like Twitter, Reddit has been on a long decline and has long since become a habit I stick to for no real reason other than that it's familiar.
To be honest it sounded like that to me too. It's very hard to differentiate between some honest clumsy phrasing and fishing for a payout, and the "clarification" doesn't help with that since it could also be an excuse to save face.
I agree. I'm not a mobile dev but I am a software dev and I'm continually impressed by how good an app Apollo is. It's one of the apps I use that seem like they should be the standard for quality.
I'll raise your low-effort google search result link with something useful:

BLUF: China saving money is their objective, it is a happy accident that it may possibly help a little bit in reducing emissions.

They don't care.
Apple sells ads, so they’re financially motivated to track you just like the other ad companies. They might promise to not track us, but unless they’re audited by a 3rd party, we can’t assume they’re telling the truth.
I'm not a user of Apollo, and honestly have been perfectly fine using old.reddit.com on both mobile and desktop.

That said, while I realize it's just his side of the story, the Apollo developer comes across as imminently reasonable and rational (and he apparently has the receipts to back it up), while Reddit comes across as embodying typical corporate greed. On a related note, I think everyone should understand that, in the long term, "Don't be evil" is simply impossible for large corporations - the incentives are just too strong to prioritize short/medium term revenue growth over user experience.

In any case, while I don't think the people shouting "I'm done with Reddit" will make much of a dent in Reddit's overall usage numbers, I personally am deleting my account and blocking reddit on my devices. If anything I think this drama gave me a nice little push to take more control over my time that will make me happier in the long run.

> But almost undoubtedly you'll be a better programmer if you do know CS (I'm using binary here as a proxy for CS since I can't imagine having a deep knowledge of CS without knowing something fundamental like binary). How many times over those 25 years could a problem have been more efficiently solved (in programmer time or CPU time) if you had known about problem solving techniques (perhaps those related to binary knowledge for example) that you don't know from the world of CS? You'll never know...

You're both right and wrong.

Principles are a lot of cognitive debt to take on, and not strictly necessary to be functional. Literally anybody can sit down with an IDE and write code to merge spreadsheets or whatever the actual business need is. We teach this stuff to anybody with any interest. Kids, even!

If someone thinks they want to be a plumber, they shouldn't start with a 4-year commitment to learning principles of hydraulics and mechanical engineering-- makes much more sense to apprentice, lay some pipe, and if it's the job for you, then go back and learn it at a deeper level. Doing it the other way is why college is so ridiculously expensive and most spend 5 to 6 figures on a major and then go manage at Target.

After failing discrete math three times and giving up, I managed to make it almost 20 years in this industry before needing to learn anything about binary math-- and even then, it was only so I could understand how flags in old MUD code worked, for fun. Truth tables are important, but there has never come a logic problem I couldn't solve by taking a few extra steps to be explicit where you might reduce the logic to a compact blob of symbols. I'll never optimize code as well as someone classically-taught. I don't know what Big-O is-- and outside of a botched Google interview absolutely not a single employer or client has ever given a shit. Nobody has ever been victimized by my code. The "CS" way implies the academic approach is the only way to do things. It's the textbook definition of gatekeeping. All academia did was appropriate and institutionalize experiences yahoos like myself have always learned through ingenuity and trial-and-error.

You've learned more than I do, so you have more tools in your bag. The only thing that sets us apart is that I won't be advancing the industry or publishing anything on arxiv anytime soon. Outside of that, you're going to struggle with quantifying how you're better than the self-taught without resorting to speculation or guild/union mentality (gatekeeping).
Well a) the Apollo team is two people and b) why would they? Reddit’s priority is monetization. Acquiring/hiring the Apollo team doesn’t help that goal.
One use case for lazy evaluation in NixOS is that you can reference other parts of the system configuration, possibly even defined in other modules, as long as you don't produce cyclic references. For example, I use stuff like the following often to avoid accidentally specifying a username that does not exist:

{ config, ... }:
{
systemd.services.foobar = {
enable = true;
serviceConfig.User = config.users.users.foobar.name;
# etc...
};
}

Another use case is being able to keep everything as plain values. For example, I can run `import <nixpkgs> { }` without evaluating all of `nixpkgs`. You can accomplish that in a language with eager evaluation by wrapping values in functions but I prefer the everything-is-a-value way.

Of course, this is just a matter of preference. Like most Guix vs. Nix aspects, as far as I can tell.
