There are some subreddits which are more seperate from the mod team (How much does it really matter who runs r/aww? It can run on inertia for a very long time, for sure), and where a very small contributing group can provide content to a much wider and more casual reading group.

But then there's some where the mods and other highly active users are a more active part in making it what it is. Think subs with weekly book clubs, or game challenges, or what not organised by the mods. Is Reddit going to get staff for all these niches to deliver the same level of experience? Probably not.
Why not update the API contract that if you use the Reddit API you need to render the ads? If you don't render the Ads they can come up with some pricing model. Seems like Reddit's pricing is designed by an MBA intern who just joined silicon valley.

Strike Infrastructure Update: We Now Serve Customers on Our Own Infrastructure

They seriously don't let you set up an account on their website? Ugh. I never said Tesla was better, though.

I've mostly used chargepoint (and Volta, heh). I used evgo quite some time ago and thought they pushed you to use the app. My sister recently used an evgo for a rental car and she said she had to install an app.
The problem is LLMs are kind of an outside context problem for our culture. We're still arguing over the correct language to even describe what it does ("hallucinate"? "confabulate"? "lie?") because every word we have presupposes the existence of a stateful mind with intent. It's a philosophical zombie, which is so counterintuitive most people can't even accept it as a sensible concept.

Between the hype and decades of indoctrination through science fiction about how AI is "supposed" to work, I guess it isn't surprising that this is how things are shaking out. People will learn, the way they learned with the internet, but it will take a few years I think.
Palm Pilot?
You've gotta remove the default subreddits which are largely dog shit. Seriously, whoever decided that trash like "r/prequelmemes" or even "r/formula1" should qualify to appear on reddit's home page needs to get a new job.
GPT states at the end:

> However, in the lines following the removal, P should be replaced with S to maintain correctness.
Be sure to rule out the 'sugar rush' effect. Not that your ~150 millilitre (or just over 5 fl oz) drink is the world's worst in that respect - it weighs in at around 4 teaspoons of sugar, based upon my googling. Some energy drinks have more.

It's still the sugar equivalent of having a small cup of tea/coffee/water, and stirring in 4 sugars. If chugged down quickly, that's quite a hit! Even if not, it's still more sugar rich than most things you'll intake in your day-to-day.

Your experience may well be due in part or whole to taurine, I can't say. But parents of young children everywhere can attest to the effect of one overly sugary serving resulting in quite a bit of resultant hyperactivity and mood change over the following hours. So your experiments may benefit from some controls in that respect.
At least you KNOW they're not interacting with you.

The "good idea" part was maybe the database. The "horrible idea" part was mandating notifications without defining any lower limits or exposure measures, and allowing anybody to sue for the absence of warnings. It was not just "discovered" by some lawyer, it's how the law was written. And Californians had ample time to fix it since, btw, but never bothered.
I'm talking purely from an emotional perspective. It felt deeply embarrassing to me, and I was wondering about why that was.

Now I think about it, I have no problem wearing an eye mask and headphones, so maybe the shutting-myself-off point isn't accurate after all. Maybe it was more about being different to everyone else.

Have you worn a headset on a plane before? Did you feel any aversion to putting it on? Maybe we're just wired differently.
Design by committee is my guess.
You've missed the point. The GP is saying that consuming data at random does not contribute towards the things they personally prioritize in life.
OK, well, maybe those were some really bland houses
Homebrew has its issues, but yes I also like the approach of the system and the packages I install living in two entirely separate worlds, with the system being boring and stable and other packages lining up with whatever is currently shipping for Windows/macOS. The extra space consumed is negligible and well worth the turbulence reduction.

Immutable distributions like Fedora Silverblue seem to lean in that direction, though I've never used them personally.
Effectively it was TI that put LMI out of business, even more so than Symbolics, by selling their OS and architecture in a lower cost, more deeply discounted configuration.
And that's why they're as much against people using their own mobile web experience as they are third party apps.
I didn't say he said it, I said that's what I think Spez thought.
Establishing a full DE on Arch is just a bit easier than on Gentoo, which is just a bit easier than compiling everything with make files.

I've done all three. Arch isn't on the same level as Ubuntu, Fedora, or Manjaro on level of ease for instillation.
Nix bombs out when it runs into a cyclic reference, so at least infinite recursion doesn't hang without any output. Likewise, it also rejects multiple definitions for a value (though to be fair some values like attribute sets are mergeable and it can be hard to wrap one's head around that).

The service model in Guix looks pretty neat! I've long been thinking it would be nice to have a configuration system for NixOS that uses isolated components with a defined (type-safe) interface. The current modules are kind of that, except it all gets squashed down into a single nested attribute set, so it's not really isolated and (understandably) can be confusing. How does Guix System handle multiple services competing for the same global resource (port allocation, file in /etc, ...)?
From the docs [0], there's an option called enableYearPagination that probably does what you want:

"Adds additional buttons to jump through years."

What on EARTH possesses people to write things like that, and tie it to their real identity, no less? I fundamentally do not understand this phenomenon.
It's not just tech or publicly-traded tech companies, but a corporate culture of a few CEOs paid 500x the average worker. It's an owner-take-all gambit off the backs of workers who have to resort to relieving themselves in bottles for borderline wages.
> You are trying to argue something that isn't real to make a point that no one cares about and has nothing to do with this thread.

In a word, you are wrong.

I've been very, very, very clear again, over again, once again, yet again, and you just fail to get it, a simple lesson often just in the first week of an easy, first college course in computer science.

> Other sorts take a fraction of the time. I showed you this already.

Nope. You showed no such thing. Your evidence is meaningless. Heck, even bubble sort could beat heap sort or quick sort under some circumstances.

So, again, sit down, pay attention, listen up: What matters for any measurement of performance in comparing code is the big-O expression. Read this again, again, again, write it on the blackboard 1000 times after school, repeat it to yourself before each meal, going to sleep, waking up. You just pass this off as computational complexity irrelevant to execution time. Here you are just wrong, totally, badly wrong. You seem not to understand this. For any measurement,
time, Watts, Joules, comparisons, cycles, any measurement, in the reasonable context, what matters is the big-O expression.

> There a lot of ways to sort with n log n.

Well, merge sort can. Maybe some versions of quick sort can. Okay, there are some ties. I never said there are no ties. But, in the context, can't beat O( n log(n) ) -- the Gleason bound shows this. I've said this over and over and over and over. So, in the context, can't beat heap sort. What you saw in some two pieces of code on 1000 keys is just irrelevant to a meaningful comparison of performance.

> The Gleason bound?

> Instead of repeating yourself, can you link to some actual information?

I gave the information: First in the context heap sort, merge sort, maybe quick sort run in O( n log(n) ) in comparisons and also, in this context, inescapably, in time, cycles, Watts, Joules, whatever. The "faster" is not for n = 1000 but for all sufficiently large n. For n = 1000, anything can happen. Second the Gleason bound says that, in the context, can't sort faster than this. So that's why it's call a "bound", a lower bound on how fast can sort. Third, I gave the reference, D. Knuth's famous book.

The Gleason bound is one of the nicer, most powerful, most useful, most important pieces of work in all of computer science, computer programming, sorting, and computing for any and all purposes, in particular for practical performance, and you just fail to get it.

You have some problems, some blocks in understanding. You just do not want to learn something new to you. You deeply resent this. Your problem is not about computers or applied math but emotional. For your emotional problems, nothing in computing, computer science, or my writing can help you.
It's not extortion -- the whole point of the joke is that the pricing is so ridiculous that it would be a massive discount to Reddit if they just bought his app for $10 million.

I have extremely mixed feelings about the fact that Apple seems to have "solved" AR by faking it through VR, and that means that with some iteration, a battery improvement, and a price drop, this could truly be the next revolutionary device that people can't help but want to use.

And I am scared of what it means for our society when "eye contact" no longer means a direct connection in person, but an indirect one through 2 cameras and 2 screens.

Obviously this is old hat for Facetime, and all remote collaboration. But in-person too?
They'll come for every sucker and rube dumb enough to use an exchange. Fact.
Further, Reddit was arguably the progenitor of HN. My understanding is that HN was basically PG's project when Reddit ported from Lisp to Python to prove you could run that type of site in Lisp still (and also as the proto-community on reddit moved away from tech and startups to more general interest).
In this clash of visions, Apple wins by default. Not because Apple has a track record of setting the computer interface paradigm for the whole industry, but because Apple actually has its own vision — “spacial computing”. Zuck, on the other hand, aims to realize a sci-fi dystopia that he didn’t envision. Neal Stephenson did. Zuck didn’t found Oculus either.

Now, Zuck may be the world’s greatest opportunist; copying, acquiring, optimizing, and scaling technologies that have already demonstrated product-market-fit. I sincerely admire his executive excellence.

With this in mind, Apple Vision Pro has validated Meta’s pivot to hardware. If Zuck swallows his pride and pivots the Quest to copying Apple, Meta has the opportunity to own the Android of spacial computing, enabling low-cost devices, collecting data, and selling microtargeted ads. This will allow Meta to continue as a globally dominant entity, and Zuck will remain one of the world’s wealthiest men.

But will Zuck’s quest to be respected as a visionary cloud his judgment and jeopardize his empire?
Tesla has a larger and better charging infrastructure than EA etc. What's wrong with giving infrastructure subsidies to companies who proved they have a superior product? Or do you think that everyone deserves a piece of the pie, regardless of their technical competency?

Tesla's larger network is just classic first mover advantage and output setting. Not an indication their (charging) product is "technically superior".
A ton of people deal with all kinds of shitty problems at work, and the answer to most of them isn't to petition to fire some random dude that nobody in the situation has ever met who works for some other uninvolved company. The answer is to fix the shitty internal process that lets powers-that-be stalk and fire people for social media posts.

Bringing it back to real life: I don't fire my people for what they say on the internet.
> replacing the mod team,

That's like immigrant jobs: You can take them away but there aren't hoards of passionate volunteers chomping at the bit to replace them.
Sure. But it’s about the distribution platform, not the game company financials. Selling games that must be distributed on specific app stores is very different than selling games which are distributed through multiple channels; in the former case, your distributor has a much stronger effect on your ability to make money.
I was a Lobste.rs user for a while, but their admins are very patronizing so I left. One day in 2020, I made several posts (see below) on a variety of topics and because they were all articles or software I had written they couldn't decide if I should be banned, so I left.

The issue with insular communities is they're insular though, and often by definition exclusionary. The nice part about something like reddit was if I picked up a new hobby, I could reliably find a community for it there. If I take up kayaking, it's unlikely that the insular music BBS I'm on has more than a handful of kayaking enthusiasts on it, and for just a general hobby, I'm not even sure where I'd start on trying to find an insular community for that hobby.

There's many interests I've ended up getting more involved in because I could easily join a subreddit that was about that without much effort, and then over the years, by osmosis, I learned and saw more of it while I was engaging with the other subreddits I was more active on. Smaller communities just don't offer that sort of convenient diversity of interests and experiences.
Ahh. Thanks for the clarification!
I believe you are correct. I don't use tiktok, but when someone shares a link with me the page says "XXX wanted you to see" and the url has no obvious query parameters so I can only assume they're bundling the video id with who shared it.
Yeah, I don't understand why everyone seems so content to settle on imaginary solutions. Even if this was something he possessed the knowledge to do, he's bound by the timeline Reddit has laid out, and there is no way that is feasible, even if he did have 100x the users that Apollo actually has.
Why does Twitter not show any rebuttals? Just Elon saying "Interesting".
It honestly comes across as a threat to me.
American minks will solve this without need to enlarge the sewers....
Happy to give insight and answer any more questions you might have! I'm no longer at Apple but I did work on the Vision Pro and am super excited to be able to talk about it now. Of course I can't spill all the secrets and am being careful to only say stuff that's public knowledge, but it's a great feeling to finally talk about it after spending the past 3 years hush-hush.
It was a sugar-free monster. Drinking or eating other sugar rich products do not have the effect.
As a consumer. I don't care. I'd rather Apple be the only ones with my data. Advertisers handed Apple this power by spending the last decade being as abusive as technically possible. I hope Apple shuts down the entire industry.
I use Syncthing, it is very useful. Unfortunately when I started using it there were issues when I shared the same folder between 3-4 machines at once, caused syncing issues randomly even if I was just making changes on one machine. Fixed this issue by using my phone, since its always on, as the only point of contact between all of my devices thus acting as a sort of file server. Have not had an issue since, over a year now.
> I would encourage you to check your memory. Maybe you paid a higher price to not have a subsidized contract, or maybe you broke your contract, etc etc; in any case, the contract being 2 years is very well documented:

No no, really, lots of people bought them without contracts, even from AT&T stores, at the subsidized price. I think it was the way Apple and AT&T were selling the iPhone: you paid the money, the phone was locked to AT&T's network, so you could only get a contract afterwards without jailbreaking. They "required a contract" but it wasn't done at the same time you bought the phone, so you could always skip it!

This was in the early days of the iPhone, just a few months after it was released (I bought mine in October 2007). They closed the loophole a few months later. My memory is pretty accurate on this one, since I actually bought the phone at University Village (for $499?) and was using it in China a week after I bought it.
What does "skilled enough" mean? Do you have any examples that demonstrate this?
Heard on Blind: soon HR will be calling engineer parents about missed days in office: "your son is smart, he is just not applying himself".
> 1/10th the time is much faster.

No, absolutely no, it's not in any meaningful or useful sense "faster" as in which algorithm is "faster". You utterly fail to get this point.
How does this technology handle multiple bystanders looking at the display from different angles?
A huge amount of the work that all of us do is, in fact, duplicating stuff that's already been done by someone at some point. This isn't just curiosity, it's also a big part of learning a field and of, ultimately, creating new things.
I still can't agree. I would counter that using reddit activity in court is dangerous.
A Power Adapter like this would be great for a small 3d printer.

> This will be educational to them when they are all banned and replaced with chatbots.

If they are replaced with chatbots, then I'm sure that the result will be educational to somebody. Not necessarily with the conclusion you imply, though.
Even for that I feel like asynchronous works better. You often get stuck on someone’s pet peeve and waste an hour when on something like a Google doc you can have 30 different threads for comments concurrently
> Without PFAS there would be no production of modern electronic devices, so no computers and no mobile phones.

Uh, yup. That in no way contradicts what I said.

> Nevertheless, unlike with PFAS used in things like clothes, kitchenware or packing, when PFAS are used in industrial processes or in electronic equipment (as high-frequency electrical insulators or in optical devices) it is much easier to avoid any pollution.

Yeah, I'm not arguing for a ban. I'm arguing that from a historical perspective, civilization in no way hinges on plastics. They are ubiquitous so an abrupt end of plastics would obviously be very disruptive. But there was a pretty decent life to be had before they became so and I imagine we could figure out how to do that again.
Even in the 80s and 90s, growing up in Ohio near Lake Erie and the cuyahoga river, adults would always caution us about going in the water. We had all heard stories about the river catching fire or people getting sick from swimming in the lake.

For a brief period of time, it seemed like the lake had improved. Now, I still read about toxic algal blooms from fertilizer runoff.

It took a long time to correct the industrial waste that was dumped into the water. I only hope that whatever happens with the EPA, it doesn’t permit that level of environmental disaster to happen again.
> all the trouble and extreme stigma of injecting yourself

IM and subQ is surprisingly not much trouble, as long as you have a relatively pure dissolvable compound and safe solvent (various oils or bacteriostatic water) it takes like 2 minutes and $1.50 in supplies (a $0.25 syringe, two $0.25 needles, and a $1 PVDF/PETF 0.22um syringe filter). Not much more hassle than at-home insulin or TRT injections.

But definitely a huge stigma, and often the pharmacokinetics of IM/subQ administration aren't desirable for many drugs.
Sorry, yes, I was mixing up Nix and NixOS :)
Here's an interview with the Apollo author about the situation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ypwgu1BpaO0

I think that interpretation is incorrect and based on Christian's attitude towards the whole thing. More likely it's projection on the part of Reddit's CEO.
This headline is misleading. It doesn't point to a blogpost or anything, just manjaro's website.

There's nothing about Manjaro that makes it significantly more free than the other top Linux distributions (as an aggregate).

There's nothing about Manjaro that makes it significantly more open source than the other top Linux distributions (as an aggregate).

There's nothing about Manjaro that makes it significantly more private than the other top Linux distributions (as an aggregate).
That's great, then. It seems like, depending on how knowledge develops, taurine may become quite the popular product. As a person in a not-dissimilar situation - thanks a lot for posting.
Sadly Craigslist is a shadow of it's former self. OfferUp and Facebook Marketplace have far more listings in my experience (major metro in US, shopping for electronics and furniture).
Congrats on the launch!

The dashboard looks really well done, especially the path identification.

I'm curious why you decided to start with Ruby. Anecdotally, it doesn't seem as big of a problem as other languages with either (a) more upgrades or (b) worse package managers.

Disclosure: I'm the cofounder of https://grit.io which also does some dependency management, but focused on automating the actual code changes.
Forgive me for being naturally suspicious but I would prefer a breathless testimonial from somebody who wasn't affiliated with the project.
Definitely impressive on what you put together in a short time.

Long term, we would want to build robust "Import" wizard for every dbms

The new lead
I don't think we have ever seen such a reversal, the closest might be Microsoft's attitude towards open source, but that is apples and oranges.

Facebook used to be more open. You could connect to Facebook Messenger using any Jabber/XMPP. They never reversed course, if anything they made it harder to use Messenger without the application.
This is yet another sign that Google is in ruin …
Who cares if it’s a standard if the network is not open?
