After trying both for years I don't really know what we're talking about here.

I can go to an office where we can schedule room to have a video call to sit around and discuss what tickets we're going to create and who will work on them. Those tickets will get worked on and tracked then we end up creating a product or feature.

I can stay at home to join the video call to sit around and discuss what tickets we're going to create and who will work on them. Those tickets will get worked on and tracked then we end up creating a product or feature.

I don't know what this mysterious in-office inspiration cycle is. It was never polite to just wander up to people working on something and bother them with random junk.

Offices exist for companies where management has sufficiently removed the ability of the people they pay to make decisions. Now you need to come to them and ask to be allowed to do things, so your manager can ponder whether that thing makes sense in whatever weird inter-department power struggle they are working in.
That's just the reality of writing code, we all make mistakes and they haunt us all :)
Then why not just shut down their public API?
It's not a requirement, but it helps a lot. The biggest factor might be latency, which makes it much harder to informally coordinate multiple people talking without speaking over each other.
That’s great feedback. Any particular areas I can walk you through?
I don’t know that coffee increases risk of cancer. I haven’t seen any evidence of that. Some studies show coffee reduces the incidence of some cancers. Trace amounts of chemicals possibly found in coffee unlikely to matter. The air we breathe seems orders of magnitude more carcinogenic.

Seems like an overblown worry given no actual link found between coffee and increased cancer risk in humans. Links between coffee and reduced cancer risk have been found.

That is absolutely possible. In the end, the question is whose productivity is more valuable to the enterprise (and who do you measure that).

In my case, I often get interrupted by "non-producers", so I would guess my productivity is worth more. But I'm biased. ;)

David Sinclair wrote in "Lifespan"[1] that they extended mice lifespan by (iirc) something like 40% but amounts of resveratrol used was something like mentioned 750-1000 wine glasses daily when translated to humans.

While Wikipedia suggests that resveratrol is not proven to help with anything, I'm still taking 600mg in the morning, along with 600mg ALA and 100mg of CoQ10. Placebo is an effect, too.

This is why I started only choosing remote work (contracting/consulting or FT) 10 years ago. I originally did it so I could travel the world (which I did in 2013-2014) and now because I want to be able to spend more time with my family.

From this “Graydon's reply” you linked:

> Some people, naturally, feel that the norms spelled out in the rust CoC makes them feel excluded. To which all I can say is, yes, it's true: the rust CoC focuses on behaviour, not people, but if there's a person who cannot give up those behaviours, then implicitly it excludes such a person. If someone just can't get their work done effectively or can't enjoy themselves without stalking or harassing someone, or cracking a sexist or racist joke, or getting into a flame war, or insulting their colleagues, I suggest they go enjoy the numerous other totally viable language communities.

Hm... So, if someone just can't get their work done effectively or can't enjoy themselves without going behind the backs of the whole ostensibly “Leadership” group, what then? Has that person been ostracized yet? Have they even been named?!? (I sure ain't seen no sign of it.) If not, why not? There seems to be a hyuuuge amount of effort being expended to spare that person's feelings...

Which seems a) misdirected AF, and b) all too typical of these “governance by namby-pambyism” CoC committee organisations that everything on the Internet appears to have turned into in the last half-decade or so.
This is why I’m looking for more info. This is talking about how they are already sending these out to Hyperscale customers, and they will eventually be in individual customers hands… so it would be good to know what file systems and cache setups are needed in order to benefit from this.

I used to just rely on FreeNAS but it’s not as straightforward anymore. I’m having to consider Linux and looking at bCache FS and ZFS vs BTRFS and how all this compares on an all PCIe (m.2) flash drive setup… where a drive (or two) at this sort of size (~50TB) would make a great second backup copy of the flash array that can be started and stopped to periodically make the backups to save power… but then you have to think about copy efficiency since I don’t want to have them wasting read bandwidth from the flash drives… and the best is usually like to like file system copy ZFS -> ZFS and BTRFS -> BTRFS … so it adds another complication into a mix that is already far from simple.

So it’s become something I’m keeping an eye out for… hopefully before it becomes something I may purchase, someone will have already done a good writeup.

Yeah, I'd have preferred a more streamlined pipeline like other FOSS projects but still, Qt is like, _the only_ no-nonsense cross-platform option that we got.

In serious GUI libraries space, there is Windows, there is Apple, and...that's pretty much it. I mean unless Elon gonna chip in and pay for development of it, we can't expect competent people work on an alternative to these giants for free.

I certainly don't agree at all. Home is where all the distractions are. Home is where i can drift off to make a cup of tea and end up spending an hour reading the newspaper without anyone noticing.

I think it would be useful to understand the distribution of peoples' feelings and experience about this. I have seen so many remote work enthusiasts just taking it as read that everyone prefers remote work because they do.

It would be interesting if we went deeper to why this is happening and what will change with other platforms too. Clearly we are at the nearing end of cycle of cheap or VC money propping up companies. And now they have to act like well actual traditional companies. Just being tech and getting more users isn't enough anymore.

And maybe can actually anything be done. Is there some models that would effectively serve both users and company aiming for IPO. And then later the retail investors.

Christian talked about this.

A payload of 25 comments vs a payload of 100, takes less time to generate and deliver.

So sometimes, to optimize his users experience, he might request 25 to show something quick to the user and then do a request for 100 and append it.

He also mentioned that he’s being compared to other apps, _not_ to the API limit (which he was under anyway).

So, can it be less?, of course. Heck, he could make it 1/minute or even 1/day. But his quota was 60/min. So why not use the 60?.
Dumb question: why does Apollo need their own backend API when isn’t Apollo just a different view/UX for Reddits own API?

https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend
Realistically, it would cost more to start a new Reddit using Apollo than it would to pay Reddit for API fees.

Sure the server costs for the API costs alone aren't 1.2m a month for Reddit. But when you add in all the things that need to operate. Databases, storage, data transfer, etc. It would realistically be more than 1.2m in server costs. That's without paying people to build and maintain it.
How will websites know if users are using them if they can't collect data?
Obviously there's tradeoffs. Your previous post mentioned that a 2017 MBP is still usable on Ventura and supported until 2025, is a 2017 14nm dual core i5 really a huge leap over a 2015 14nm dual core i5? Which would be more usable the one stuck at 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD and a bit faster CPU or the one upgraded with 16GB RAM (~$40), a $70 1TB SSD and a slower CPU?
Turbo Boost
This backend does very very little outside of continually polling the reddit API for new messages and some other sundry tasks for operating the iOS app. There's nothing here that suggests any of this could be built out to a full fledged social media backend that is similar to reddit. Not to detract from the work being done but it's for a very specific use case: supporting adding features to the app frontend
It's also not uncommon for users to nuke their accounts when they close them, deleting all posts and comments.
If this is true why does Apollo need its own server at all? Couldn't the client make requests directly to the reddit api servers instead? Then each user could use their own api key, rather than Apollo having to pay millions for a single key that accommodates everyone.
How do the teams get the truckloads of stuff from race to race, especially internationally? I assume everything connected by land is able to be traversed by road/rail in time to make the next race.

> Isn't this what Android did? They seem like they're doing fine enough

I don't think Meta's aspirations are to be Android. They were first movers in this space, spent billions and billions, only to be the less profitable, less coveted platform?

As outsiders, this is already how we're looking at it when Apple stepped in, which is unfortunate, and why Mark's refusal to acknowledge reality isn't a great look.
N-no! It can't be. Meta is the company that my favorite company hates!

>How can Reddit have the concept of default subreddits yet allow them to be run by random, unvetted people? For me being default includes some kind of guarantee of quality and approval by Reddit, yet most of these default subreddits are going dark!

Reddit hasn't had default subreddits for a few years. These days you're onboarded onto r/popular and then algorithmically recommended a few you can subscribe to.
.. but they do generate ad impressions. Everyone else is "the product", I guess.
Yeah on desktop browsers , UBlock origin works well. But haven’t found a solution for mobile app. (IOS). Any recommendations?
I mean, first it's a huge mistake, then the employees are rich? I think if they became rich, they haven't made a mistake. And the mods were volunteers to begin with. If they are fed up with Reddit, they'll just serve the world elsewhere.

You could say that it's shame that things like Reddit don't last, I mean in the form of not serving the interest of investors. It could be such a good place. But to me it seems like this is the conscious decision of the powers to be. And so, no mistakes at all.
Nothing, but it would result in even more backlash.

I could see them doing this for the most popular subreddits like r/videos, but if you start doing this for even medium sized subreddits it’s going to have even more severe consequences.

People aren’t stupid, and they aren’t as docile as you think.

These theoretical questions to me are the equivalent of “Why didn’t the US just kill every person they encountered in Vietnam that was a male of fighting age instead of fighting against an insurgency?

Well, they could have. They had the ability to. And it probably would have resulted in a different outcome. But it would had some pretty severe consequences.
And how many Americans were hurt by that adversary in any way over the whole period of the cold war? As opposed to their own government
Yes. Our SAAS does low 7 figures on PHP. Learn Laravel framework as it has a good ecosystem right now and various tooling around it.

I think the primary example that's going to come to mind for all Americans is the American Revolution, which was successful, if I recall correctly.

I don't really like this tone of 'lecturing' people, as though they don't understand and you do. Well-informed people have legitimate differences of opinion on these questions.
Maybe there's a benefit to not needing to spend the energy or raw materials needed to synthesize something yourself? The large amounts needed might reflect that outsourcing the production is inefficient.

“Grok” is from Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land. It was a super important word to me as a kid. I’ve recently started hearing it again used by people who never read the book and find it interesting.

Do you remember where you first heard this word? I assume you heard it as it’s such a memorable word and difficult to misspell.
No, the Lost Vikings for instance don't.

And last I checked they seem to have given up on supporting Diablo 1, and let GoG deal with it instead ? (Its online MP has security flaws.)

And Blizzard cannot run a game if Blizzard doesn't exist.

But even before that happens, you can already see the wasted potential : D3 (and D4) has no modding whatsoever, compare with D2R (though mods there are still heavily restricted and they have also removed normal MP from it) and especially D2LoD legacy !

Of course they can only do this because of their cult-like ecosystem and hugely inflated prices for hardware, software and services.

Without those sources of revenue, well, Apple would turn to data and whatnot too. Was only a while ago that Apple first switched on to the "private and secure" as a selling point, because much of their competition relies on it.

I think we can maybe expect other large tech companies to follow suit, not make money from data/advertising and instead raise their prices, wall their ecosystems as much as possible. Advertise tablets as "not computers". Come up with buzzy marketing stuff like "retina" for every little detail of their products.

If you want to sell something like clothes where purchase without trial results in very high returns, you need to build this into your model. The way Old Navy does returns means you can buy multiples and send 80%+ of them back very easily. Their business model is completely based on anything less than 100% returns is a win, so they optimize very differently than say, "how can we reduce returns to single digits?"

This is what will happen, and generally the people who would leave over these changes are the ones who make worthwhile content, and now they will move elsewhere. But where?
And why would your position be the most rational position?

A meh position isn't by default the most rational. A huge change in how the API perform will break the experience for a big parcel of power users, power users are usually what whole platforms are built on top of. Twitter's usage is powered by the minority of a few power users who actually post something interesting in the platform, the same is true for Reddit.

You being a consumer satisfied with a subpar experience is not the rational position, it's exactly the "meh" position you mention so it doesn't really lend to much discussion. You won't be that affected, so you probably wouldn't be that affected if Reddit completely disappeared.

Calling people being affected by some massive change to their experience "histrionic" is both being condescending as well as completely not understanding how much it can affect others...

Yes, it's a minority portion of users, but an important minority who engage with Reddit in a very different way than you do :)
With MicroPython you can have C drivers and just do the MicroPython bindings. I do not see the benefits of having yet another interpreted IoT language and it does not make sense to do the drivers in the interpreted language itself.

I am just showing you that DeviceScript/MicroPython/LUA/any other scripting language will expect from the user to know lot of C in order to be able to use its board unless they want to just run it without any input/output of data. But users want to use the scripting language because they don't know C. The whole flow is Catch-22.
I bet if we talked to Torvalds about it, he'd have an incredibly strong opinion to share, and I don't have any difficulty guessing what it would be.

Indeed, searching for "Torvalds remote work" yields this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/pet-the-cat-own-the-bathrobe-l...

> Torvalds admits that when he started, "I worried about missing human interaction -- not just talking to people in the office and hallways, but going out to lunch etc. It turns out I never really missed it."

> "If you spend hours in online meetings from home, instead of spending hours in meetings at the office like you used to, you've just taken the worst part of office life, and brought it home, and made it even worse."
No, my child was playing the game. The game is not my banking app, and even my banking app requires authorization on top of clicking a button. Merely clicking a button in a game is not financial authorization, and it's harmful to accept this as if it's normal. It's not.

I'm not hostile, I'm just explaining that playing a game is not the same thing as authorizing a financial transaction. I don't understand why you insist that they are.

An online financial transaction should at the very least require a password or pin code. Preferably a redirect to my bank where I authorize the transaction through my bank's authorization mechanism (which uses 2FA). I go out of my way to disable everything that doesn't do that, including pin-less NFC payments on my bank card. At the time, I'd also set Google Play Store to always require a password (which should really be the default), and yet it executed a payment without it.

To suggest that a simple button click in a game played by children should be enough to access my money is ridiculous.
Maybe so, but Reddit is not Twitter; API access is far more important for Reddit because its official client is garbage and can't handle the long-form content that Reddit is known for.

This will have outsized implications for the 1% of users who actually post the content the other 99% come to see in a way that Twitter (and its 280-character comment limitation) does not.

That's not the same. The mods work out by their own choice, and usually have no bills to pay for this work. Reddit on the other is a company, and has bills to pay. And Reddit is not tiny. Not sure how big their costs are, and what they earn, but from my understanding, it's not a money-printer wasting bills on golden keyboards and parties, not are really profitable yet. So they are probably on a thin line, still struggling to survive long term without external money.
