Your second point is good:

> "project managers who need a way to define work output in the face of engineers that have learned how to game the old system"

I think there's an enormous difference between a) an individual task tracker maintained by you, only for you, of tasks you'll work on...

...vs b) an agile task board or whatever for a (corporate) group, where there is often ongoing lack of clarity about task definition, prerequisites, acceptance criteria, as you say people may be trying to game it to make their individual productivity metrics look better (or at least to defend their apparent productivity from being damaged by the aforementioned group pitfalls). Really these can be two quite different animals.

With a), you should have pretty good clarity about what the implied 'Next Action' is for each task, whereas with b), it may require group discussion, prioritizing, meetings, etc., sometimes even hiring or outsourcing.
My understanding is that the main problem was the VC bubble mentality: prior to those companies, delivery wasn’t seen as a lucrative business – enough more expensive than picking it up yourself that many people didn’t, only suited for a few cuisines which travel well, and generally working best in certain areas with enough customers.

The problem with that is that you’re talking low margins and that doesn’t get huge returns for investors or make the CEO a billionaire, so when these guys launched they had to talk like there was some magical property of an iPhone which cancelled out the laws of physics to justify the valuations claimed to potential marks.

Now they have a problem that the investors are tired of shoveling money in but they’ve locked in debt, compensation like Google or Facebook, shiny headquarters, etc. but they’re still not that much more efficient and have little ability to prevent customers and drivers from bailing. They’ve also trained their customers to think of expensive things like ordering takeout from across the city as cheap and routine, so it’s hard to deal with the underlying inefficiencies unless they’re willing to increase prices even further.

I stopped using them after a couple of hour+ delays DoorDash, Eat24, and GrubHub lied about but had multiple restaurants include their direct order info in the bag. Something like Airbnb has some inertia from the way people usually aren’t experts in the places they’re traveling to, but local meal delivery is routine and someone can compete with them in a given area without needing to build a global company first.
You'll take what Apple gives you, or go back your adventures in plebian life. Who needs an industry-leading gpu for graphics or compute.

I'm curious to see how far gaming goes with their translation+gpu vs. likes of nvidia. Same problems linux has with wine, translation against windoze directx, or lack thereof.

In my experience software engineers aren’t trained on the domain nearly enough during onboarding. Deep domain knowledge is critical in every part of the software design process.
Did this scrap the website / how did Reddit stop it from working?
Yes, it still works. The desired reddit API call is made to reddiw instead of reddit which acts like a relay

Adblock Plus like many adblockers gets industry funding for a whitelist of “acceptable ads”. uBlock Origin, 1Blocker, NextDNS, ControlD, and sometimes AdGuard tend to block more. The DNS adblock options are particularly interesting as they can block ads in any app, similar to running PiHole or a hosts file, but in the cloud. There are also extensions to change the website to dark mode (Dark Reader), accept some but not all cookie prompts on your behalf (Consent-O-Matic) and block “Open in App” messages (Banish) or annoyances (Hush) or other annoying behaviours (StopTheMadness). Basically… you can have a browsing experience that’s nice and sane, and just the way you want it.
Is this the consequence of having entitled moderators for years, only now instead of powering over random users they finally turned against their creators?
>I think it is less to shift discussion and more as a justification in order to avoid responsibility.

I agree. This way is more precise or I can reformulate what I’ve said this way: shift discussion toward justification to avoid responsibility.

> I kind of knew what that person was doing, and engaged with it in good faith anyway, which I regretted.

well, I know the feeling. Actually it’s the goal of propagandists to create such regret and more preferably a desperation with lack of wish to fight for reason to prevail. They try to exhaust opponent by intentionally saying some bs and forcing opponent to explain obvious things while push their lies and mostly ignoring the answers.

On the other hand I should say that I enjoyed reading your argument and the very fact that propaganda was met with a proper response done in good faith.
I think this keeps hope and light to those who read it. At least it has this effect for me and I am thankful to you for your efforts.

>The sad part is that when you run into someone like this person, the battlefield is the only way to resolve the dispute.

Unfortunately.

It is still a question what to do with intentional propagandists.
Giving them answers that
are blocking their ability to spread another lie is degrading the discussion. Giving them proper answers feeds them with grounds to push their narrative more.

Perhaps in a discussions with such people we should pronounce that we kind of know what they are doing and address the core of their motivations instead of the topic itself which they aren’t discussing properly anyway. I am not sure it will work and still looking for a better solution.
> It's getting worse as people get financially drained by higher rents and higher food prices.

I feel like you could make the argument "wouldn't the stock market not be going up then if this is the case?" Wouldn't people have less free money to spend and therefore corporations would receive fewer of their dollars and post less profits?

Yet profits continue to grow.

aka, yet another reductionist dramatic wrong outlook online that's out of line with reality

yay internet! keep pushing that narrative though
That is is some finely split hairs.

What is knowledge versus wisdom, that debate has gone on for thousands of years. We keep chipping away at wisdom and it turns into knowledge. The wise used to think the sun revolved around the earth. Wisdom seems more like a veneer, or a feeling, that can be dissected until we uncover reality.

There have been some some frameworks that were found to be wrong. That doesn't mean we don't continue to try to understand why something happened. And hopefully that helps us 'have wisdom' for the future.

If I try to understand why something happened, I might call it a 'framework', and you might call it 'Wisdom'. I think this discussion has too many loosely defined terms that is leading to the confusion.
>However, this kind of writing should only happen after years or months of investigation.

The DOJ also alleged that Bilyuchenko, Verner and other unnamed co-conspirators used an unnamed New York-based bitcoin brokerage service to launder funds, ultimately moving over $6.6 million into "overseas bank accounts."

so much btc stolen and so little $ obtained?
Oh you're right, i'm supposed to support "not lab leak".

Bats -> humans in the market.

Point remains the same. We're all speculating because I agree with the statement that trying to create foreign policy based on speculation creates so many problems - Iraq war for one (but, being fair, supposedly that was credible).
Can you point at something in his manifesto that you'd classify as an "absolutely insane idea" ? I have the vague impression that people either don't engage at all with TK philosophy -but are happy to pass verdict nonetheless- or if they do, simply can't handle the cognitive dissonance that arises and immediately reach for quick relief ("madman", "insane ideas", "MKUltra" etc)

Few if any called Ellul a madman or characterized his ides as absolutely insane, but as far as I know he didn't kill anyone.
the populous wants to hold hands and sings together these days. Even cp and lgbt goes to country and western concerts.

White hate has an erotic desire for the mayhem. These don’t mind collateral damage. Particularly where this true motive will not be suspected.

If you’ve ever wondered how does this whole terror thing work if everyone thinks the assailants are such degenerates?

The devastation is for you. The “purpose” is for someone else. Someone disgruntled, someone proving anyone can be gotten to at any time, someone proving to their like minded that they will go as far as it takes (where others will not go “far enough”), someone sending a coercive message (think the govs will tell you they’re being extorted?)

Terror is a ploy, not a reasonable dialogue. They’re not trying to tell “you” anything, other than the futility that “nothing you can do about it”. That is how submission works.

And I am describing Power here, those of the voices in our heads. Not some actions of a lone gunman.
Fwiw my understanding is that Oriole wants to be an extension, and lives atm as a transient fork for the purpose of improving issues on storage apis upstream, re a bunch of active up streaming work on table access methods (TAM) aka pg -luggable storage, to handle different backend trade offs (per oriole’s benefits).
"A mathematical optimization problem, or just optimization problem, has the form minimize f0(x) subject to fi(x) ≤ bi , i = 1, . . . , m. (1.1) Here the vector x = (x1, . . . , xn) is the optimization variable of the problem, the function f0 : R n → R is the objective function, the functions fi : R n → R, i = 1, . . . , m, are the (inequality) constraint functions, and the constants b1, . . . , bm are the limits, or bounds, for the constraints. A vector x ⋆ is called optimal, or a solution of the problem (1.1), if it has the smallest objective value among all vectors that satisfy the constraints: for any z with f1(z) ≤ b1, . . . , fm(z) ≤ bm, we have f0(z) ≥ f0(x ⋆ ). We generally consider families or classes of optimization problems, characterized by particular forms of the objective and constraint functions. As an important example, the optimization problem (1.1) is called a linear program if..."

Boy, and that's just the opening paragraph of the introduction.

Exactly what arcane requisite elite math precursors are necessary to even remotely understand this?
"Low-income Americans face higher payroll tax rates than rich Americans. Americans with less than five-figure incomes pay an effective payroll tax rate of 14.1 percent, while those making seven-figure incomes or more pay just 1.9 percent.Low-income Americans face higher payroll tax rates than rich Americans. Americans with less than five-figure incomes pay an effective payroll tax rate of 14.1 percent, while those making seven-figure incomes or more pay just 1.9 percent."

> https://www.americanprogress.org/article/5-little-known-fact...

While the absolute numbers for the rich paying a lot more in taxes is true, when looking at effective tax rates, the rich are not actually being taxed enough for there to be equity in taxation.

"Billionaires in the US pay a smaller tax rate than most teachers and retail workers. "

"According to a 2021 White House study, the wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the US paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent. For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent."

> https://www.oxfamamerica.org/explore/stories/do-the-rich-pay....

Indeed, that 8.2 percent is a whole heck of a lot of money; far more than the 13 percent coming from the average taxpayer.

I don't know to what degree that this will be a watershed moment, but I'm hopeful that this is a high-profile enough of a wakeup call that some dedicated subset of power users puts their efforts into developing the ecosystem around federated alternatives that have the possibility of breaking free from extractive models of social media. Even if that's 100 people out of the millions potentially affected by the reddit changes, that could bring a lot of benefit.
WTF! Anyway to take them to consumer court over this?

I don't know why you say "entitled moderators". If you send any time with them, you'll quickly see the vast majority of the job is drudgery. You wouldn't say "entitled janitors" would you?

Do you really not see the problem? For Lemmy to face any hope of becoming mainstream your statement should be "less than 5 minutes".

Maybe that barrier to entry is a pro to you, and that's fair, but surely you understand the criticism that a social network should be usable without reading a guide, yes?

Once upon a time I mentioned in passing that I subscribed to the proceedings of SIGPLAN. My coworker shot his hand out to stop the conversation.

“You can read those??”

“A little more than half.”

I knew exactly what he meant, and was amused that “half” satisfied his sudden suspicion that I was an alien living among humans.
What do you think about the enormous amount of evidence against trump, including him incriminating himself on tape and on camera?
I get the need to be profitable, but damn we are going to lose a lot of resources. The value is almost always in the comments. From this to askreddit in general, to geopolitics and so many others.

This is especially true here on HN, I find the comments to be of amazing value.
They also have more time and probably more thorough testing to avoid the outcomes their rules prohibit

Isn't it also possible it's like Tesla with Musk. Even though the investors could oust him, they don't think it's worth losing his talent.

These network effect businesses are WILDLY PROFITABLE for a good long while if you keep overhead low, keep the product stable, and don't try to Take Over The Internet by doing something novel, developer-intensive, and (usually) stupid.

Unfortunately any platform that draws >10 million daily users will reliably have people calling and offering billions of dollars to adopt that strategy and chase after revenue growth. Eventually the owner breaks down and agrees to take a huge personal payoff in order for the company to adopt a "Double or nothing" policy. Over, and over again.

There's too many enormous piles of money out there seeking a return for this to be a sensible self-regulating system with stable provision of goods & services.

Holdouts are few and far between, like Craigslist.
> it's a ton of work, with people constantly bitching at you, for no compensation.

One of my favorite things about Mod self pity that always seems to come up is this insinuation that they did not want the job. The literal opposite of reality. All mods BEG to be mods. They lobby and work hard to get into their jobs and jealously guard them. They deeply resent and fear the idea of the community operating without them.

There have been times where I've thought, I have enough free time to be a help to a community I'm part of and would be willing to mod. But I've never done it because I wouldn't even know where to start. I'm not building a job application and selling myself for this or carefully waiting out position openings in Discord/IRC channels. I don't care that much. Use my labor if you want it or not. The mods that actually ended up mods? Oh they care and worked for it. You're free to quite any time if you don't want the job. Go on.... do it.

Also I question how much work there really is beyond mission creep. Filter out the spam and the occasional super psycho and you're done. Now if you make work for yourself by trying to be a gestapo nanny that deep reads all comments to weed out wrongthink and confers with mod star chambers on what is to be done to shape the community. Then yeah, maybe you can make a lot more work for yourself.
That was the path they took for the first 5-6 years, it didn't work. Tech savvy userbase with adblock and nobody bought Reddit Gold. Remember the monthly donation bar for their server costs? It never got close to filling. That was pre-new reddit.

So they got investment and scaled up to everyday users. Terrible redesign but at least the site doesn't look nerdy anymore, right? There are now actual advertisers on board. People are paying for badges and hats. They are tracking the shit out of people and pushing the app. They're on the way to profitability, and the next step is to cut out the old guard - who they couldn't monetize anyway - by removing third party apps.

Their costs are almost certainly ridiculous but their plan is either to become the next TikTok or crash and burn.
Here's a question I have for when e.g. Chrome supports JPEG XL: currently, if you have a <picture> with avif, webp, jpeg, it prioritises them in that order. But with JPEG XL added into the mix, which one is chosen by the browser? AVIF or JPEG XL? Will different browsers make different choices of priority?

And finally, how much longer will the HTTP "Accepts" header continue to get with these new formats?
Normal auth sends a cookie every request. That is really the same. You have to do state somehow.

Sending a token and sending a password are not the same thing.

And I thought basic auth GET requests looked like this: http://username:password@somesite.com, did that change at some point?
Completely disagree.

If you used nothing but nails to build various styles of beds, you wouldn't have the same experience sleeping on them as the originals; Unless, of course, the original was a bed of nails.

Sharp edges are just one texture in an infinite range of textures, and AVIF looks like it constructs everything out of sharp edges in a way that's really obvious to the eye at all compression levels.

With JPEG XL I can at least tell what's missing, or too artifacted to make out. With AVIF you have no idea what has been completely erased.

I lived through some really tight job markets as a youth, and it was the most aggressive of my classmates who got the jobs. I would advise printing out a short resume that could be scanned quickly, then handing it directly to the assistant manager with an explanation of the web-site problem and declaration of readiness to get right to work. If they don't hire you right off, I expect some will at least tell you how to get to the front of the line.

Docker compose is what we are going with (for now), but with one complication: how can I allow co-workers access without giving them root access to the server? I generally trust them (we're a tight knit group), but mistakes happen.

Now I could (and did) add them to the 'docker' group so they can run docker(-compose), but the issue ends up being permissions on any bind mounts. They end up not being able to read logs, view some config, etc.

It's not necessarily a single-server monolith, but a server that is meant to handle a multitude of (possibly unrelated) web-apps at once. I might have to think about VMs more. I really do like docker, and traefik is a god-send (making routing and certificates a heck of a lot easier).

"Don't post blind links to slow loading websites" --Reid Hoffman
This doesn't scale. The fbi has tried for years to cooperatively remediate US businesses who have been hacked. And not just carders, although those too- but actual apts pursuing national security goals. And the frank news is that these businesses do not care. It isnt their responsibility, and they do have responsibilities.

The infosec goobers on HN are about 5 years behind the times. Since about Obama (when the fbi started doing this in the us) it's been clear that the whole name/shame won't cause orgs to do better. Publishing active proof of concepts for exploits will not cause orgs to patch. It will take national legislation giving people federal-pound-me-in-ass-prison to get them to enforce cybersecurity.
That never was the case. That's a syntax to put credentials in a URL if you want to share a link containing the credentials, but has nothing to do with what the requests look like. (your browser also doesn't show it in the URL bar if you access a protected website)
It is an adversarial game. The hackers could plant fake victims as monitors for police activities. This is an important reason why the police can't disclose to the victims that they were hacked or how they were hacked. However, I think we could at least make the laws such that the police can disclose certain information upon request post mortem. Absolutely not during investigation.
