Sorry you feel on the defense. Developers can be very aggressive with feedback and I know the feeling. To echo others, "Build something that works first", and you have something that works :)

IMHO the gesture of releasing the code shows how much integrity there is behind the devs, and I could care less if there's not-best-practice in there.
>GPL on server side software doesn't really matter

That's maybe too general. There are cases where it does matter.

Maybe "GPL on software-as-a-service code has limited usefulness"

Even then, people do sometimes choose it on purpose for SaaS, where they want to ensure any redistributed code, where the entity doing it makes that choice...is bound by the GPL.
It's French! Pronounced tizan. Poirot (in the TV series at least) often asks for his tisane.
Reddit announced new pricing for their API. The Apollo(an ios app) developer said that with the new pricing he couldn't make it affordable to keep the Apollo app running and it started messaging with reddit to see if they were open to make some changes.

They were not and they made a lot of false statements about the Apollo developer. To show that those statements are false the Apollo developer is showing a lot of proofs, one of those proofs is this code.
Everything looks like a gimmick until it isn't. Even when the iphone was released nobody would ever be able to comprehend the reach it has today. I think we are waiting for hardware to "catch up" and its getting closer + people's aversion to wearing something like this (aka google glass .. prob too ahead) + the right ecosystem and company to take this to market (maybe apple is the one?).

For me personally I wanted to jump on board the spacial computing for reasons like being able to work in any location but have my awesome setup. Current systems have terrible resolution or are bulky, but I can see the promise. Current entertainment avenues are not tapped (imagine courtside sports seats anywhere, novel ways to engage users, porn, etc.)
Not turning off would be a bad protection, but it could also decide not to turn on. Something as simple as only allowing three remote turn-on commands every hour, anything beyond that requires a physical override.
Acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen (nsaids) are all wonderful alternatives to opioids that fall into this category. There’s also the placebo effect treatment.
You might be interested in the Oura ring then. I can't recommend it, because I haven't tried it. But sounds like the kind of thing you're talking about.
It's not open source yet, it has no license. Upthread the author says they're going to go check with the app dev and decide what they want to do license-wise:

People at the executive level are detached from reality and don't want to hear their expert leadership where they handwave and speak prose on stage is leading to poor products.

They want you to tell them their ideas were the best ever, they deserve the $50 million compensation because without them saying "let it have 4 wheels", you in your millions of years as an engineer could never figure out how to make a car.

Literally all of those are possible with your cell phone at slightly lower fidelity. We're not talking about zero to one applications here. Cell phone fundamentally unlocked new applications via mobile connected GPS, computer, camera, screen, accelerometer, internet. Fidelity is not worth as much as people think to as many people as they think. 3D TVs were a flop. People still play and watch low res cell shaded games and movies.
Cannot tell if this is satire
Apollo was one of the apps that was basically giving up due the API changes, right? If they aren’t doing anything with the code, might as well let people fork it.

Just not MIT or BSD, I like these sorts of licenses normally, but it would be a bummer if Reddit got to steal their code after all this bad behavior.
> An HKT is the type of a type constructor.

That is a ("normal") kind `* -> *`. A Java `List<_>` or `Set<T>` would be a "normal/concrete" type constructor. In your example the problem is that `C` is a "generic" type constructor, so it has a higher (-order) kind, that takes a type constructor as argument (like `List<_>` or `Set<_>`) and constructs a type from this: `(* -> *) -> *`.
Power is its own reward.

> but I still think it is not that dramatic of a thing, especially without hearing the reasoning of the organizers.

You still seem to be missing the point: Which “organizers”? The ostensible “Leadership” of the project – which one would think should be the final arbiters of any such organizing – did want the guy to do the keynote. The real issue here is that the stewardship of the whole project, to put it in sophisticated technical terms, sucks if some grey eminence can undermine the official leadership just like that. Then their whole code-of-conduct, leadership-by-committee, woke-and-adapted-for-Modern-Audiences governance foofarah is just flim-flam, a sham, a lie.

That's the real issue here.
Solving communication between analysts and engineers
I agree. Also, I've had good luck asking GPT-4 to cite sources with its replies. It speeds up the process of fact-checking, and makes "hallucination" detection trivial. (Does the link 404?)

Obviously it's not perfect, but it's no worse than asking human coworkers, which are also sometimes wrong. (I'd prefer not to interrupt my human coworkers with questions with searchable answers anyway.)
I also made the switch to Debian because I want to get closer to Ubuntu's origin. And when Ubuntu decided to only provide security updates to core

You must be fun at parties.

CASIO is known, and I can vouch for this from experience, to be very conservative with their numbers: with a quality cell 7 year battery life usually means about 10, 3 year battery life usually means around 5, 30m water resistance usually means over 50m in practice, 30seconds/month accuracy usually means around 10 or even less, etc.

At my university we had a racing team that competed against other colleges in like a mini F1 type league. Every year they would start with a giant empty table and build their race car from scratch.

The team was very competitive , i think they won the league championship every year I was there, and it was considered a pretty big deal in the engineering school to get on with them. I remember they had guys who could weld coke cans together and every machine tool you could imagine and skills to match. One year, a kid on their team got picked up by Ferrari or some other big racing team and became a minor celebrity on campus. (My university was by no means “top tier”)

I was in a robotics competition team and they let me use their machine shop so I got to know them.
Not sure what agreement they had. I could see that making sense, though.

Also, by being open about how many people were federating in each community, it also made it clear that even the biggest server was smaller than most discords.

All the comments in this thread are right. This specific scenario was about providing a consistent experience. All the work that this backend does could be done using iOS’ background updates, but:

1. Those aren’t consistently scheduled
2. They have an extremely tight deadline (and sometimes Reddit can be a bit slow)

Making it server side means we controlled that experience better.

On the contrary, I think you should arm yourself.

I am trying to disabuse people of the idea that the right-wing "2A warrior" actually gives a fuck about anyone's rights. We should have seen them all out in protest for what happened to Daniel Shaver, where were they?

Merely owning guns isn't going to stop the government from infringing rights, we need collective action that is not being taken by the people who claim they need guns to defend their rights. Meanwhile children are being murdered in numbers. So we get the worst of both sides of the argument.

Spotify search engine to find new music
(Note: As most streamlit urls it may need to be copy-pasted in the search bar to work.)
Just finished working on a side project that helps you find new music by searching through multiple criteria and at the same time play the songs that fit your filters.
I often find myself stuck listening to the same few songs as finding new ones can be a long and sometimes fruitless process. That is why I wanted to make a tool for anyone to use that takes into consideration multiple parameters that have to do with a song, with all the filters coming from the user with no ads or popularity of songs affecting the search.
I am 19 and love working with programming projects like these in my free time. Play around with the product and feel free to provide any feedback on it.

Those are all things you can already do! And big, nice screens are already very cheap.

The Vision Pro's problem is that it lets you do something you can already do "some percent better."

But "some percent better" isn't what any of the companies pushing this need, because that doesn't translate into the volumes they need to sell.

"Fundamentally different" does, but no one has described any use case like that.

Examples of "fundamentally different" would be "taking the ability to make and receive phone calls with you, wherever you go" or "taking the ability to browse the web with you, wherever you go."
Georgia program is training a cleantech manufacturing workforce
Fair, however I think if we just assume that the community is what is important then we can bootstrap into a new "clean" architecture - but that's going to take leadership and someone with cash to spin everything up over the weekend basically.

I think it's doable, but we need a leader to step up.
If your management has been letting that wasteful situation go on for a long time, there's not much you can do. It sounds like there's some dysfunction in management. I've seen that in many businesses. Unfortunately, the money they're wasting on maintaining two environments is probably preventing the company from moving forward in other ways.

That said, a number of companies have left the cloud for cost reasons. 37 Signals is a recent high-profile example: https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud-654b47...

I've read of others leaving for cost reasons as well. Many run niche workloads that don't make sense in the cloud. One company, if I recall correctly, was doing scientific processing that required massive, but not unlimited, CPU and GPU resources. They found it was cheaper to buy a bunch of high-end workstations and run their jobs locally. They didn't need the cloud's 24/7 uptime guarantees, because they were doing offline processing with no public-facing apps.

There's a larger issue at play with all the API drama, and its not with the end-users, but users of these APIs: indie devs and start-ups.

Free (or cheap) APIs have been a way for whoever makes them to discover new segments/markets with low risk/investment. If its good enough, its an opportunity for an indie dev or start-up to get acquired and make an exit, if it isn't, then all the risk was on the indie dev or start-up to begin with.

If you go back years into these API ecosystems, you'll see stories like this Apollo/Reddit one aren't new, since the API owners aren't required to buy anyone out, they could either cancel your access or simply clone the way you're using their API and be done.

What is new, is how these API dramas are accelerating, either APIs are no longer free, they are putting more locks on how the data can be used or they are getting so expensive you can't make a business case waiting to get acquired or noticed. Simply search for stories about APIs related to Youtube, Reddit, Bing in the past months.

My suspicion about this dynamic, is the bigger elephant in the room is ML/AI. For many sites, their lifeblood is their data and they're not going to part with it as easily, since a couple of API calls can mean they're going to get passed over entirely in this ML/AI era. Its do or die for many sites, even if it means pissing off the symbiotic relationship many had indie devs & start-ups.
The reddit user agreement used to say something like "You retain the rights to your copyrighted content or information that you submit to reddit ('user content') except as described below." so reddit inc never really owned those comments in the first place, whatever "ownership of comments on reddit" really means.
This isn't really true last I checked. They merely make their testing repo, what's effectively in line with normal arch release, available for 2 weeks then rely on someone telling them something is wrong in their forum. They don't do much, if any, testing themselves.

My parents never talked about money. Mostly due to my dad's toxic "no one deserves to know how much I make" attitude. I was over 40 before I finally got a grip on financial knowledge - despite me having jobs since I was 14.
I don't believe we can expect the side of "meh" to get much oxygen in any discussion. How could that be? "I don't care about this thing", "me either", "me either".

There's nothing to be said, hence no oxygen for it at all.

The vast majority in any issue don't care about it at all, even important humanity changing stuff like climate change. There's no intellectual value in the "meh" position, it's just apathy... If you can make apathy interesting that might be a million dollar idea.
Yeah it's pretty weird. With the word "suicide" it's sometimes used in this way to mean that one is pushed to commit the act by someone else. (Maybe more so in other languages where the verb is to suicide oneself). So it could mean that one device tricked the other into running a self-destruct command. But in the OP one device is sending commands that directly result in the bricking.

Companies just try and pay Embedded Systems Engineers and Electrical Engineers dirt compared to "Software Engineers". In the same part of NY where SWE base salaries are $160k+, they will offer $120k for the same years of experience to a EE/Embedded SWE. And these are both major companies (non-big tech) and small companies that will do this.

Of course I also see those job postings for those specific companies last a long time here. There's one going for 3 years now for a many decades old small defense contractor that's even had their CTO directly reach out to me. Meanwhile I sit pretty in my actually respectable paying embedded job that I ain't jumping ship for a paycut.

> What would you rather Reddit (and other similar services) do?

Acknowledge the value that these users provide? The quality of content on Reddit is entirely driven by selfless contribution. If you go out of your way to diminish the experience of power users, you're sabotaging the quality of content on your platform and basically driving it into the ground. I haven't had a Reddit account in years, but the community is right to get mad now. It's time for them to find a new home, clearly Reddit has a conflict of interests internally.
Give up your organs to the highest bidder first and then we can talk
I wouldn't be so sure. The app has been the talk of Reddit and many tech circles for a few weeks. Many are saying that without Apollo they won't use Reddit anymore. So if someone were to buy it and say "The same Apollo you love is now $9/month" I bet they could retain a number of users, specifically because there won't be other competitors (all competitors will be in same boat wrt to API pricing and not allowing ads).

If they pick moderators, those moderators are no longer volunteers, but employees & agents of Reddit, Inc. — and because of legal precedents with how moderators were engaged with AOL & LiveJournal, anything those technically-employee-agents of Reddit, Inc do wrong with respect to criminal activity and torts, Reddit Inc is on the hook for.

That’s why they use the volunteer mod model, and why they keep us at arm’s-length, and mandate that we cannot receive any compensation of any kind from anyone for moderating.

That said —

The mod code of conduct gives them avenues for removing mods that violate it; there’s also neutral admin-developed tools that identify users who are already active in helping the community out as potential moderator recruits.

So mods that close subreddits maliciously — with an intent to damage Reddit or to demand that they disburse money to a third party — could be removed from mod privileges, and replacements found.
Back in the day, I competed as an amateur in my local round of the WRC. The car I competed in was self-built from a base model Skoda Felicia which cost me £40. (immaculate, low mileage, but with a broken camchain so the engine was dead). Obviously cost me a lot more than that in the end, but still only maybe £6k built.

Motorsports news found a part from a focus WRC which cost the same as the purchase price of the car, which was a single nut. Made for a good comparison and story, and quite a few people mentioned that to me the week when we did the event...
