I guess a deep dive would have had to get into more gritty details about USB-PD? Or maybe show how they crammed all the requisite capacitors and heat dissipators into the thing.

It did answer my question, though, which was "how do they pull that much power over a USB-C cable?" A: USB PD 3.1 allows up to 48V * 5A to be supplied so long as the cable has the right e-marker on it.

Though honestly, I would be careful trying to get deeper than that. The USB standard has become a bit of a spaghetti mess. Unless you are building your own equipment or trying to daisy-chain some DisplayPort stuff through some Thunderbolt 3 hubs you're probably better off thinking of it as `capabilities(USB network) = min(capabilities(computer), capabilities(cable), capabilitieS(hub))` and then dropping 50$ for a nice cable that you can brag to your friends about ("ALL MY POWER, PERIPHERALS, AND VIDEO OVER THIS ONE [insanely overengineered] WIRE WOOHOOQ")

Anyway, my two cents are that I'm glad they kept the new power brick mostly-the-same-dimensions as the old ones so that my 3D-printed gridbeam-mountable power brick holders[1] continue to work.

> Tech companies are shutting down their junior pipelines and turning their most senior talent into burned out careerists who don’t care. They’re managing to mediocrity, not growth.

I mean, how was this not the only possible outcome for current-day big tech companies? It's not like we haven't seen this exact thing play out before with the likes of IBM, Oracle (was Oracle ever 'cool'), etc.
I say pretty clearly that I'm talking about purely theoretical numbers. The underlying fact is that the status quo is probably unsustainable for Reddit. It's hard to be "blatantly wrong" about a series of hypotheticals, IMO.

There's a lot of strange stuff happening in your comment. On the one hand, let's take for granted that Reddit is charging 20x its revenue per average user for the API. But that's just the average user; as you yourself point out "the vast majority of people subscribing to Apollo are power users". Surely they are worth much more to Reddit than the average, extremely casual user?

The underlying problem explained in the post is that the author pre-sold access to Reddit through an app to users, while this access was actually conditioned on the continuing availability of access to the Reddit API. No doubt this does put the author in an uncomfortable position! Given that the current plan is to shut down the app anyway, surely cancelling active subscriptions should also be on the table? Subscribers are going to lose access to Reddit through Apollo either way! So realistically, what we're talking about here is whether $5/month is a reasonable price point for power users. My answer is... maybe?

I think my instinct is to say that this is all ultimately the place where negotiations are supposed to happen. Reddit needs to go from making zero dollars off the API to making something. Is what they want to charge too high? Probably so. But a lot of people are acting as if any charge at all is untenable.
I'm also an Apollo user and plan to leave Reddit. Honestly, I'm kind of glad I'm being pushed to leave. Reddit has become a complete cesspool since 2016, and has only gotten exponentially worse since then. While I really enjoy the niche subs I participate in, the large subs are just a breeding ground for extremist views on both sides as well as some of the craziest conspiracy theories around. Good riddance.
Awesome work! It makes me wonder how many critical libraries there are out there, dependencies for thousands of projects, that could use optimizations like this. Probably more than we can imagine.
I'm not a libertarian, I'm a lawyer, and I'm looking at this from the legal perspective.

Reddit's Data API TOS has always allowed it the right to start charging for access. That it chose not to do so until recently was its prerogative. That it chooses to do so now, is also it's prerogative.

This is not a unfair taking, since Reddit isn't taking anything from Christian, they are simply no longer freely providing something.

This is not an issue of estoppel, since Reddit never promised to make their API free forever. And Reddit gave him due notice, as required by their TOS, of changes that would take effect...several months after notice was given of the changes...

This is not tortious inteference, since Apollo could have continued to provide Reddit services to their customers, though this might have required Christian to change his business model.

This is not slander, since on the call Christian clearly suggests to Reddit to give him $10 million and he'll go away and not make a fuss about things.

It's irrelevant that they have a "prior relationship" since that means nothing in this context, since Christian did not have a binding contractual relationship that entitled Christian to perpetual free access to the Reddit Data API.

> DNS, ALB and TLS certs could be easily handled from just a few lines of Terraform, and nobody needs to touch it ever again.

Welcome to reality, where this is not the case.

I'm currently working at a company where we're using TF and ECS, and app specific infra is supposedly owned by the service developers.

In reality, what happens is devs write up some janky terraform, potentially using the modules we provide, and then when something goes wrong, they come to us cos they accidentally messed around with the state or whatever. DNS records change. ALB listener rules need to change.

The comment editing in production is indefensible. However, there is legitimate reason to suspect the Apollo founder did suggest a monetary buyout in exchange for "going quiet". It is evident in the audio recording posted by the Apollo founder himself, top post of reddit at the moment.
> If you're not a user of the 3rd party apps, then none of these decisions affect you

likely untrue. its not just 3rd party apps it affects. it changes api access for anything using the API

for instance modtools will be affected which means literally everyone can be affected desktop or not https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/12rt5f8/how_wil...

these are all going to be hugely affected

I’m afraid dumping your partners whenever is most convenient for you and your family, while understandable because they will do the same to you, is not what I understand to be virtuous.

You may be spiteful, and perhaps rightfully so, against the powers that be, but it is ultimately futile. Who is in power is not up to us, but our response to it is.

Not preaching to you, you may be the most virtuous being in existence. Just mumbling in the wind here.

If I wanted to drive with an HMD on, or otherwise be in a situation where it could be deadly to have my sight turned off for even a second or to even have some lag or stutter or other glitch in my eyesight, I'd much rather have a pass-through AR HMD. One's sense of sight seems much more reliable with it by its very nature. You simply don't have those modes of failure with transparent plastic, no matter what's going on in the hardware/software.

> the Apollo developer comes across as imminently reasonable and rational

honestly that's why Apollo is one of the rare apps I've actually fully paid for - iamthatis aka Christian is such a solid dude, always keeps his cool, no drama, gets his work done, cares about his users, like - it's a tragedy that Reddit is killing off his masterwork. They ought to be hiring him to do their mobile apps for them.
A quote from the book overstory comes to mind: "we're seeking technological solutions to a social problem."
My assumption is that there won't be a mass exodus from Reddit, at least not one that materially affects Reddit's bottom line. People will grumble, but most of them will continue to go there as before. I'm just basing this off historical episodes of internet outrage.

For comparison, when Digg 2.0 came out, people just moved to Reddit immediately, they didn't complain about it on Digg, and vow to leave eventually. They just left and never looked back. I'm generalizing; of course there are counterexamples.

I think we've made an internet where there aren't a ton of viable competitors, so there is no easy path out. The choice is to either get the dopamine hit from the same place as before, or forego the dopamine hit altogether, and for a lot of people the answer is clear.

I'd love to be wrong about this though.
Most people in the military never kill anyone. In fact, most people in the army are never even in the opportunity to look at someone who they may need to kill.

That's why I would not consider investing energy/money/time in developing an app/application/client of a proprietary third-party platform: they can lock you out any time, sunset the platform (seen with Google Search API) or decide to compete with you (seen with Facebook regarding games).

Open standards, open-source based or decentralized platforms, or your own platform are the way to go (I'm talking here from the dev perspective, not from the end user perspective - but proprietary sites are equally annoying for end users when they get discontinued. Making a one-time exeption to my self-hosting preference, I had a blog hosted at Posterous until Twitter acquired them and they shut down).
For people that liked wonderland in a city vs a city, this is certainly the mindset.

That said, drugs and crime and… aren’t a forgone conclusion if NYC gets cheaper and local businesses can afford to come back and cultural folks can find places that aren’t 3k.

Both are likely to happen if nyc tanks a bit. The crime isn’t necessarily likely. A lot of other cities manage it.
CHIPS/IRA was the carrot. The tariffs, sanctions, rampant IP theft, supply chain shocks, Chinese lockdown labor shortages, specter of global conflict, energy shortages, etc were the stick. I suspect the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Organizations are not rational robots that weight every factor and risk optimally. The conversation is probably more just wild gesturing at everything while cargo cult mentality takes over in the dozen boardrooms that control a majority of economic activity.

Yeah, in terms of "who is using Rust the most" inside of literal FAANG, least to most:

* Netflix isn't using it at all, as far as I know

* Google is using it in Fuchsia and Android, but I'm not aware of many web service things. Fucsia does use async/await though. Not sure about Android as I haven't examined it closely.

* Apple is using it as the backend of services, and on some storage team, though for the latter I haven't heard from it in a while. They're absolutely async/await users.

* Facebook/Meta are using it in a number of ways, for services but also as well as like, the SCM, filesystem, and build system. The latter aren't web services but do use async/await.

* Amazon is using it heavily inside of AWS. You don't get more "web services" than that.

But also, I meant "FAANG" in a broader sense. Large, established tech companies. Cloudflare, Microsoft, stuff like that. If you check out who is sponsoring the Rust foundation (not that that means that this gets you more weight for new features, mind you) https://foundation.rust-lang.org/members/ it's very much not dominated by crypto or web3.

When I was on the Rust team, we didn't prioritize web3/crypto use cases, and I haven't seen any evidence of that changing. It's always been kinda awkward, frankly.

After writing this comment, I also wonder if maybe that's also not some of the disconnect here: while async/await is critical for network services in Rust, it's also useful for other things too. So you have a larger coalition than you may think that's interested in directing the language in that way.

Tech stocks have high volatility. If, for example, I joined Amazon at peak in 2021, and the stock crashed 50% over the next few months, it would still totally be worth it to stick around and vest. Even the case with smaller tech companies that achieved meme status like Palantir which suffered the usual post-IPO crash -- if I believe outlook will be positive in the long term. Could be 2 years or 10, doesn't matter to me. The stock being public REALLY helps. I would think about it very differently if it was private.
The issue is not AI, nor browser extensions per se, the issue is the lackluster permission system that Chrome extensions have, it's pretty similar to what Android had 7 (?) years ago, which should not be acceptable in 2023.

To legitimately expend energy suing an organization over a chatbot known to hallucinate and programmed purely for predictive text -- well, someone of that mind should be punished harshly by society. But I know, of course, instead, ChatGPT will be further gimped, with more warnings and more restrictions, to satisfy the worst of us.

In this sort of way, the people akin to tar pits for character of humanity dictate our collective policy and quality of life. And our system enables them, even rewards them.

Reddit moderators do not directly deal with DMCA takedown requests. If Reddit is presented with one, they will take the offending post down directly. Moderators can be suspended or removed, however, if they encourage rule-breaking behaviour in a subreddit (such as by soliciting content that results in DMCA takedowns).

The primary social role of moderators is to curate the community. That involves enforcing some site-wide rules, but it also involves more local rules like "stay on-topic." It wouldn't do for a forum about NFL football to be taken over by discussion for The Bachelor, even though that's not actionable at a site-wide level.
