Step 1. Build at least 1 decent mmo. Have an off-game hub where people can interact and show off stuff they collected in said mmo.

Step 2. Keep adding more games and activities, boom! Metaverse.

Facebook went all in with VR and social interactions but who cares about any of that when you give users no reason to use it. You need the GAMES first otherwise why would people want to be in a glorified version of a zoom meeting?. This stuff is obvious and yet they keep wasting billions on this cart with no horse in sight.

> Canada was supposed to become an "AI Superpower" and Universities in the UK were supposed to be where innovation was going to happen next due to the perceived hostility of the United States to foreign talent.

Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that the UK/Rishi Sunak keeps trying to push the UK as the potential world leader in AI regulation despite the UK having no world leading AI company?
I think NextCloud pretty much fits the bill here. I think it's a fantastic free tool that's easy to host on your own for exactly this kind of thing.

As opposed to today, where connects have terrible uploads speed because ISPs don't want you to host servers.

None of these clients filter ads. They just return the API results. Reddit could have in theory returned ads and blocked clients who didn't (or required them to pay some/more money). Instead, they decided to charge extortionate amounts, essentially causing 3rd party apps to be unable to afford them.

It's very obvious their aim isn't necessarily charging, they're more interested in getting rid of 3rd party clients so that people would be forced to use their horrendous app. As a company, they have a right to go towards that route, but they should just say that.
On a side note, I recently released durafetch.com which allows you to download your Durable Object state to a local SQLite database.

It allows you to observe and query your state in dev and prod.

It's so obvious that an appeal to common sense is all that's necessary. How many markets do you think are in China? 100,000? 1,000,000? And how many of those are within driving distance of the one lab where:

- They study novel coronaviruses
- They sampled the same regions where the closest relatives to the virus were found
- They applied to put a furin cleavage site in a coronavirus before the pandemic
- They were cited in diplomatic cables for poor safety standards
- The database containing records of the viral sequences was taken down right before the pandemic
- A scientist working at the lab at the time of the origin disappeared
- A scientist who patented a coronavirus vaccine a few months into the pandemic "jumped off the roof"?

Does a lab accident not immediately jump out as the obvious leading possibility to you?
Seems like a rotten decision that's going to result in guilt or innocence hinging on whether a judge finds a joke funny or not. At least it seems fairly narrow in that you have to be using the parody of someone else's trademark as your trademark. But it is bad. The aesthetics of judges should never be part of the law; they don't know it when they see it.
Upon reading the headline, I assumed this was related to the recent research suggesting that sucralose damages DNA. As someone who was drinking a sugar free energy drink every day, that was enough to get me to quit. The pure somatic horror of “DNA damage” far outweighs whatever enjoyment and lift I get from a can of [brand name].
How do you check it without running something that may execute it? Many scripts will execute if opened with vi or even cat or printf from what I understand.
The question is: Does it have to be sexy to get this funding?

Why can't it be more sexy to run a sustainable small business? - I think they could run reddit profitable with less staff, which focuses on the core functionality instead of trying to grow into new markets and segments.

Sure, there is a risk that some new platform disrupts that segment they are serving, but even then there is enough of a longtail to prepare an alternative and hardly those bets on expanding reach works.

Let's look at Twitter as a sample case: the features which were successful, were the ones where they followed what users were doing and supported that (adding @-mentions, adding retweets, adding quote retweets, some degree of threading support, etc. all came after users used those things) most things where they added stuff their PMs invented is mostly forgotten already, but building all that cost resources.
I would be interested to hear how you measure Apollo usage to say it's backed by 50% of Reddit.

I've never used it and don't know anyone that has. I read a stat yesterday that only about 5% of Reddit traffic comes from 3rd party apps (might be incorrect) so I'm curious what impact it has beyond just a client for reddit. (I'm vaguely aware of some moderation tools that Apollo has.)
I should have said "one of". I know of other sites. I already have HN up in a tab. Hitting refresh to see response time is a first check before going to others.
Even if scientists agreed that spraying seawater upwards from every ship would mitigate say 10 years of climate change, can you imagine world governments coming to an agreement to do it, and how to fund it?
That's the thing. The feature is kinda cool, but it really should be done based on user input and not automatic ( or at least not default unless user explicitly opts-in ). For me it is mildly more annoying, because at work Edge is the browser and I cannot change anything in it ( mildly, because it is only an issue in principle for me; I don't browse anything non-work related on that PC ). Still, one would think my company does not want to have some stuff uploaded to a third party willy nilly.
Eh I get what you're saying but I don't think most people who switch to vaping actually stop quit nicotine all together, they just continue vaping with often higher levels of nicotine. I guess they have the advantage of getting rid of second-hand smoke and the permeating smell of cigarettes.

I think a similar thing happens with "diet" "sugar-free" products. Almost all of the people who use these products neglect every other aspect of their health thinking they're really going to tackle obesity by swapping out processed sugar for sweeteners.

Anecdotally, I've never seen someone using copious amounts of these sweeteners look healthy. They continue on being obese and out of shape. I think if your goal is to be healthy then your mind set has got to change and using an option like artificial sweeteners is just a "have your cake and eat it too" position that won't result in making you healthier.

Meta makes them up. And it blocks people from deleting their FB/Insta accounts to retain its "active user counts." The number of bots pretending to be "human" is absurd. IMO, the only reason Meta gets to remain in business is because it's a proxy for the government to do whatever they want around the world.
what reddit is currently doing is worse than any recent apple mistakes I can think of.
A good analogy is gps navigation. Imagine if instead of telling it where you want to go and having it generate a route with turn by turn directions, it reacted to every press of the accelerator or brake pedal and every turn of the steering wheel to guess what you wanted to do based on what others who braked or accelerated or changed lanes at the same point in the road did. It might be useful if you were completely new to the city and trying to go to the airport. It would guess that you're on this stretch of freeway to go to the airport and would JIT plot that you take exit 7 and get into the airport traffic. But if you're actually trying to go to a different location and just driving past the airport you'll have to reject that suggestion and then it would say, oh, you must be going to the arena, take exit 8!! And you'll have to reject that too. It's annoying as shit.

Oh, but it will learn that you're driving to work and will be able to prioritize that above the airport and the arena? Oh yay, so when I drive to someplace I drive to 5 times a week it can give me directions I don't need, but when I drive somewhere I haven't been before it can only tell me how to go to a bunch of places other people went on the way.

It's practically useless if your knowledge of your codebase and language is better than 0.

It's probabbly useful for languages and crap you don't use a lot or where you'd end up copypasting 90% of it anyway, like crappy webdev. (Good webdev is a different story)

I'd rather use it to explain what the fuck I was thinking when I wrote this shit 6 months ago, or what Nate was thinking when he seemingly fucked it all up (or maybe he fixed it). And maybe, maybe, playing the analogy back in reverse, it will get to where I tell it I'm trying to go somewhere specific and it gives me turn by turn directions, instead of arbitrarily suggesting shit that I drive past. Like I could say I'm trying to extend this to accept triangles and not just squares and it would say, oh use the visitor pattern and here are the places to change it, or something. But right now it would just flip it's shit and start suggesting triangle, polygon, stars, circles or something like that. Do you want to reverse a linked list of triangles? No, clippy. I know better than you how to change this shitty code. Thanks anyway.
This isn't necessarily a free software versus open source issue. Apple could have just as easily continued to ship a GCC version with OpenMP disabled. Sure you could build your own with-OpenMP GCC from source, just like you can build MacOS-compatible upstream Clang from source now. But third-party dev tools will always be a pain and an additional barrier to use.

There are a couple of notable examples of major software shipping OpenMP-using code on MacOS, namely R and Matlab, but the structure of these projects means that few of their users have to encounter the complexity of getting an OpenMP-supporting toolchain working. Not so easy for a library author where nearly all of your users will need to use a special toolchain.
Agreed with the build more but u have to somehow prevent the speculators from snapping up all the new builds. Vancouver built tons of housing and it was snapped up by foreign buyers and locals for second and third homes to speculate on.

By the way Canada is a lot like the UK regarding the elite just effing everything up up for the plebs.
Can you explain how "similar to" becomes "identical" in your retelling?
Why should people who make good dietary choices have to subsidize ones who make poor dietary choices? If you take up two seats and weigh as much as (and so cause as much fuel burn as) two people, why shouldn't you have to pay for two tickets?
I fully agree.
The main argument is that if you use sweeteners you will eat more sugar, so it is worse than sugar.
So basically don't eat the non-poison because it will cause you to eat poison, so instead eat the poison itself.

Also, there is no concrete evidence that sweeteners are bad for one's health, it's more the feeling of 'chemicals' are always bad.
Sugar is clearly bad and causes obesity and diabetes. The choice seems pretty clear between the two.
If you are running Linux then 9/10 times the expectation is that you are the system administator. This also means, any hardening/security burden is placed on you.

And besides, the whole community is built on user freedom and security-for-everyone can sometimes get in the way of that goal.

Documentation is controversial because

(a) it's an ambiguous material (like wood), so anecdata go all ways

(b) it's for the future, i.e., easy to cut in a time pinch

(c) it presumes knowledge is shared, though it's often hoarded

(d) it's a tax on everyone's time

A helpful discussion of documentation would focus on specific use-cases: on-boarding developers, backgrounding design discussions, operational run-books...

In that context

(a) The cost/benefit is concrete

(b) You've identified the consumer/stakeholder, so they can speak the the present value

(c) Present work is value in terms of that future product

Then some documentation strategies become clear:

(1) Write for some specific reader. It's not a brain dump (unless it is, e.g., for departing engineer).

(2) Build in feedback cycles with actual users before completion

(3) Make it someone's job (put them on the hook) to deliver good documentation (for all users). They can optimize extraction and repurposing across the organization.

If I see director+ level people with no strategies for documentation, I conclude they're not building an organization.
What is your environment? local laptop, linux VM, kubernetes cluster, ... ?

You don't use curl for logging except in demonstrations.

In production you would want to use a log forwarder like vector or fluentbit. If your environment is kubernetes, then use this guide - https://openobserve.ai/blog/how-to-send-kubernetes-logs-usin... .

If something else let us know, and we can have a guide. fluentbit and vector are fairly well documented and have been there for years now. I would recommend you to check them out. OTEL-collector is a good option too.
> disconnected from the engineering cycle

Great phrase!

To me, there are three places that dev-generated documentation can live:

1. The code

2. The issue tracker

3. The version control system

A small amount of exceptionally useful and frequently referred to documentation like the process for setting up a new dev environment or some complex support task can live elsewhere.

Otherwise, I think the top down imposition of a documentation culture is unlikely to succeed.

The real secret to getting a team that has a shared understanding of the system, the business, and each other is to retain your developers. A team that's been together for five years has superpowers no amount of documentation can replicate.
> As of January 1, 2020, the International Maritime Organization put a limit on the sulfur content in shipping fuels, reducing the global upper limit on sulfur content from 3.50% to 0.50%. Here is a link to an article describing this change. This reduced limit was mandatory and led to over a 75% drop in sulfur oxides. While great for the environment in many respects (e.g. less acid rain and ocean acidification), there was also a not-so-unexpected consequence.

What is actually beyond my understanding here, is that an international organization implemented a very strict environmental standard, one that probably applies to notoriously uncooperative countries (hint: China), one that applies to a notoriously uncaring industry (cue the oil-spills and dirt ships transporting crap around the world), and, _somehow_ , the standard was respected, and the restriction had the "desired" effect (less SO2 in the air.) ?

That's my WTF: since when do environment standard work ?

What did the IMO do ?

Why didn't the cargo coorporation simply bribe and cheat and lie, as usual ? Didn't using "cleaner" fuels cost _more_ money ? How did they let this kind of communist nonsense of a regulation happen ? Where are the freedom fighters ?
Why don't we have an "airpollutionskeptics.org" site that denies the link between cargo ships and SO2 level in the air, on the ground that SO2 levels have always changed in the past, and that the IMO is an evil governement body of elitists who want to take again our gunships ?

Or is it only that we're slaves to irony, that no good deed should go unpunished, and that the only way we can solve any environmental problem is by inadvertently making another one even worse ?
I only use Reddit when I am doing research, since it seems to be a straightforward way to see information written mostly by real users. The Frontpage in my opinion is utter trash - it's filled with woke bullshit, ignorant crap and other reposts of old posts that can be anywhere between a year and 5 years old.

The memes and jokes have gotten so poor they just look plain stupid. A majority of the AskReddit posts are useless questions posted by kids and teens that make no value and only get posted to make the OP's look "cool". That said, it was once a good way to get news, and now with the stupid commercial push by the company it has now lost almost all of its status
The problem isn't just the petty tyrant fiefdoms, it's also the exclusive claims on generic terms like "news". So, instead of generic news, you find hyperpartisan content on "r/news". Once someone cybersquats on a generic term, other perspectives are forced into qualified subreddits that more accurately describe their bias, "r/conservative".

I think it would greatly improve the site if communities using generic terms were instead replaced with disambiguation pages that linked to related communities, and that this process could be triggered automatically so that as terms become generic the communities could be remounted.
I mean yeah all that, but on the other hand, the subreddit was literally called r/jailbait.

A lot of people were extremely confused during the pandemic and that's why they couldn't differentiate between actual verifiable information being shared and some random newscaster saying, wrongly, that vaccines prevented infection. A few years later they don't even know what is true anymore.

They do get to see how the sausage is made. Are you sure that the reality around patient drug experiences is so positive? Is it more likely that such nurses are completely delusional, or that they have information or experience that you or I don’t? Keep in mind that everyone in medicine has a financial and career incentive which points towards aligning with and advocating for the system they are so invested in, so there would be a tendency for this point of view to be under expressed, if anything.

Reddit users are the ones contributing all the content to Reddit, just as here. Reddit provides the infrastructure, but nobody goes to a website to admire its infrastructure unless they're an infrastructure developer.

The issue here is that almost everyone who expresses an opinion hates Reddit's user interface. Many install 3rd party apps that leverage the API to provide a better one. Reddit's owners are trying to kill this off rather than acknowledge that their product offering is bad.

Essentially, platform owners are landlords who do provide ssome value (infrastructure) but nowhere near enough to justify the visions of profit that enticed them into the business, and they don't have any imagination besides 'put ads on it'. They would be better off charging a small subscription fee, but you can't grow a giant community with a paywall so they used capital and free access to gain max market share. Nobody wants to start paying a subscription for what was previously free, everyone hates advertising because it's dishonest and manipulative, so the owners have painted themselves into a corner.

This is a general problem with the platform model; people are only attracted to it because of other people who already go there, and the only way to make money out of people is to either sell stuff to them (which they don't really want) or sell information about them to other people who want to sell stuff to them (arguably worse). Conde Nast should just declare defeat and offer to sell the platform to its users.

How about we take this opportunity to go back to the old internet to a time where real free speech ruled. Remember how reddit started off, where ANYTHING went no matter what (as long as it was legal)?

Do people have the courage for that anymore? I certainly do, and I'd love to hear from those who disagree in complete free speech for the next Reddit.
Where do you find/engage with similar high-effort content now (if anywhere)?
