Speaking of IRC, I just reinstalled Colloquy the other night, only to find out that Colloquy seems to be halfway to being abandonware. I almost couldn't find it because the old website still burned into my memory, colloquy.info just turns up an SSL certificate error and I had thought I got the wrong URL at first, but no, Internet Archive confirmed that's what it was.

So it's colloquy.app now, right? You go to that website, and there's two links: the App Store link takes you to an iPad version not verified for Mac OS X and with tons of bad reviews, and the GitHub link is where you can find Mac builds, the latest is 2.5-prerelease-7097 from July 2021 which isn't exactly inspiring confidence that it still has legs.

So I mean, if anybody knows what the gold standard on Macs is nowadays I'm open to suggestions, otherwise I might just fire up Irssi and be done with it.

I'd like for someone to throughly research and write about how it became taboo to discuss the virus leak theory. How researchers who discussed it were shunned, tagged as racists, and in some cases had their posts banned from Social Media. About how almost the entire scientific community discarded the idea as impossible. How during the early pandemic years, no mainstream news media dared talk about the possibility.

Tech companies too had a role to play here. For the sake of free speech, what happened here is worth discussing.

This is super cool! Do you have/plan on having integrations where you can pull in contacts from CRMs/email marketing tools for easy onboarding? I think that would be a great value add.
They must have a way to reach and debug the signal layers, at least in the lab?

I agree with the poster above, since at this year most of people are accustomed to install an app to interact with a website. It’s not where we wanted the web to be, but also it’s a minority that find it annoying.
It is important to add to this a culture of actually reading the docs. Kudos here to my co-founder Sam. First developer I’ve ever met that reads ALL the docs before touching a line of code. When we say let’s pick up some tech, he dives in and reads every page of doc he finds. The effect saves time and results in much much better technical decisions. You don’t get stuck in the unknown, you immediately know where to go look if you are unsure, and architect a better big picture.

This, given of course that the tech you are picking up has good docs.
None of your complaints make any sense. If you limit your usage to ASCII characters, then all of your complaints of Unicode no longer apply. E.g. character length matches your intuition of “number of characters”.

and there are truckloads more of these.

There used to be electronics sets for kids with breadboards (some of them larger scale for easier physical handling then standard breadboards), and they'd had manuals with them explaining all the things. I remember that they also contained descriptions of basic gates like (N)AND, (N)OR, NOT, plus flip flops for storing 1 bit of data.
> I really don't see any advantage to UTF-32 when not-officially-standardised UTF-24 has the same constant 3-byte-sized codepoints (and multiplying by 3 is not hard - it's n + 2n); in UTF-32, the highest byte will never be anything other than 0, so it's essentially permanent waste.

Wouldn’t the difference in alignment (4 byte versus 3 bytes) make UTF-32 faster than UTF-24 in certain cases, on certain CPU architectures? So the always zero byte would be wasting space to gain greater performance.

Question:since doing this requires hashing your entire tree, what are the implications of doing this hashing operation on possibly millions of entries (which I'm estimating is the scale at which comparing linearly really start being noticably slow)?

I'm guessing you need to choose a hashing function correctly, but is hashing 2n elements then comparing in log(n) actually that much faster than comparing in n? Evidently, with the right settings yes, or we wouldn't be here, but I'm just wondering if the hashing step doesn't actually end up costing a lot more than we think by saying "oh we just hash it"
Do you have integrations? Pulling in contacts from CRMs, database, Google sheets, or pushing out to marketing tools would be interesting additions (I guess more geared towards your OfficeLife product rather than a PRM)

you're supposed to edit your post to explain why it's not a duplicate (and actually, before you post, you're supposed to search for existing Q&A, and when you post, to show what you have researched). In the duplicate closure notice, there's a big button suggesting you to edit your post if it's not a duplicate.

The important difference with streaming services is that much of their revenue goes to pay people to create content. Reddit users contribute content and labor so it can be seen by other users. So trying to run Reddit with the iron fist and customer disregard of your usual company will, as they are discovering, sometimes lead to problems.
That's not the attractive part of TikTok-style feeds for business leadership: it requires you to engage with exactly one thing at a time. And you don't decide what that one thing is, and they can make it an ad.

It's not a movie theater, it's a TV station. As long as the thing you're looking at is compelling enough to stay after they slap you in the face with an advertisement every few seconds (every 8-30 seconds, on my Instagram reels feed right now), you'll just keep doing it. As long as the commercials aren't too long or obnoxious, you won't change the station.
This is too biased for-docs IMHO*. I do agree with many points, documentation IS amazing, and you are very likely under-documenting things in your company. But documentation is not cheap to create, and specially it's not cheap to maintain. If you are not writing enough yes, sure, that's probably a great investment, but start bit by bit.

I've worked in multiple* companies where the problem was too much documentation, and of course everyone was afraid to update or ghasps* remove any piece of old documentation in case it was still useful. Imagine working on a codebase where 80% of the code was unused or commented out but no one dared changing it just in case (flashback to 2010 with 4000 lines of style.css).

I'd suggest to take a more holistic approach and treat documentation a lot like testing; for that prototype, probably just write the barebones documentation, for the production-ready new feature go all-in and write detailed documentation, tutorials, etc.

If you do want to go deeper with documentation, then you'll need a dedicated team (like a team of testers) that work exclusively on documentation. At some point it does make sense to hire only for that, and it can even be a differentiating point for your startup if done correctly.

For libraries, a ratio I've seen works pretty well is approx 1:3:5 for lines of code:tests:docs; you can do tests first, or even documentation first, but once everything is finished and if you count the amount of lines that's a decent ratio. Note that when counting "lines of docs" in an editor, a whole paragraph will count as just 1, so in reality there's a lot more docs.

Note: I'm the creator of both https://documentation.page/ and https://documentation.agency/

Thanks for your feedback.

grumpyrest is not averse to dependency injection, but rather trying to "get out of the way". In particular it does not rely on (automatic) DI. My intention is that you can totally use it in a project that has a DI framework, and at worst it should require you to write the same few lines of glue code that you would need without the DI framework, i.e. calling some constructors.

> Offering to null of all those cases a preferential treatment with a special class is IMO just adding verbosity to the code with longer declarations and unwrapping.

There was a specific reason to give null / missing fields a preferential treatment. If you use a data class like Username that wraps a String, then that class can do all the validation necessary, before the Username reaches the handler method. _Except_ for null and missing fields because the two popular JSON frameworks, Jackson and Guice, already try to bypass that class in those cases. You can configure Jackson to pass null to a Deserializer, but you still cannot distinguish null/missing because they are both a null reference at that point.

Also, AFAIK you cannot say "pass null to the Deserializer only for this type". You have to configure it for the whole ObjectMapper, which is problematic in a DI context where that same ObjectMapper gets used by a lot of code.
why would the current shareholders want anything other than profit (which is by proxy measured by growth)?

Shareholders care not for employee happiness, in so far as said employee is working and producing. Ditto with user happiness - if they're not happy they can leave. By not leaving, they must be happy to stay.

I think these proposals to "change" the metrics is as flawed as the current system.
I dislike how sync Discord is, too. I mean, I don't have time to sit here and chat with people for hours. That is why I'm on HN and Reddit. I read, give it a thought, post some good comments (plus a couple of shitposts) and then I get off my computer. I come back later to check on my responses.

Discord just doesn't work for me. I'm not going to scroll through hours of chat, and I'm not going to sit there and watch the chat rehash the same discussion people had hours ago.

I have things to do... kids to take care of, a house to clean, groceries, dinner, places to go, etc.

This is a reason why I like to use Python for more things than is strictly necessary. There's a ton of domain experts writing Python for their non-SWE jobs. Contrast with e.g. JS and Ruby which are more SWE/webdev-only languages.

I like to think it makes knowledge transfer at least a little bit easier across the user-developer membrane.
I think you misunderstood. Your claim is:

"The overwhelming majority of conspiracies likes this, especially ones in fundamentally civilian organizations like science labs, don't survive a year if that."

How do you know that the overwhelming majority of conspiracies don't survive a year if that? It's like sampling sick people and concluding that all people are sick. Without an estimate of the number of conspiracies that actually are kept hidden (which to me seems nearly impossible), how could you possibly know the proportion as you claimed?

I have a strong suspicion you are using hardware acceleration for H264, while the VPx codecs are all being encoded in software.

IMHO the most pressing issue I have with h264 is that it creates files that are almost always larger than HEVC (or AV1), and everything I own handles H265 without any issues (I think it's also mandated by some DVB standard).

Worse than the conversion rate, Google will most certainly deindex the Reddit pages if they are not available as webpages.

But surely Reddit has already calculated that “[search query] + Reddit” is traffic they don’t care about?
Was it really taboo? I didn’t get this feeling where I live (admittedly not the USA). It’s just that it became clear pretty quickly that the investigation was going nowhere as China wasn’t going to honestly cooperate. That didn’t leave much to discuss.

For the official response, it was to be expected. The UN does plenty of compromises with authoritarian countries for the sake of being able to operate. It would have been surprising to see the WHO press China.
If it is a project I strongly believe in and mostly said we should do, and it is more fun than frustrating, I will get into big focus and work or think about it continually until it is finished, then I slump and relax for a while, going around and bragging to my friends and writing docs and maybe tech talks.

But if it a project without intrinsic motivation or large and clearly present business value (like fixing an incident or saving a $10M client contract but not some hopeful!thing that might pay off in two years), then I keep my weekends to maintain myself as a human being (which ironically also happens to benefit the company on that two year time scale).

My understanding is that moderators are the most upset category by API changes, because they are losing some unique mod features from 3rd party apps.
The simple and fair approach to monetizing the API is to have it be a simple "this much for these many calls."

That makes sure that applications are incentivized to write code well that doesn't take advantage of a free resource.

The Apollo push notification part of the server is hitting 600 requests per hour per user - 10 requests per minute per user. That has a cost to it for Reddit even if not a single page is rendered for a mobile app.

It doesn't matter if it's a headless moderation tool or the push notification server or an exceptionally poorly behaving front end. API requests have a cost that up until now have been free.

If Apollo turned off the notification server, he'd be down to pennies per user per day for the app. If it was scaled back to a request every minute it would be $1/day/user. Scale it back to a check every 10 minutes and you're back to pennies per day per user.

As it is, it was designed with a free and nearly unlimited rate limit available.

Trying to do an audit of advertisements being displayed (again, easy to defeat so that the auditor sees the ads while others don't) this doesn't fix the problem that apps are taking advantage of free resources that aren't free to the host.

If the cost of the API is too high for the load that it (and any backend) puts on the host, then it should be up to the app designer to find a way to monetize it - it is their responsibility to write the code within the limits that it can afford.
Their first response was to try to suppress it.

Burning people with flamethrowers is propaganda, plain and simple. I challenge you to source that.

Out of curiosity, is there a more compact alternative to Unicode that excludes all precomposed chars like ñ, but also for all the Asian languages, so you'd basically have some set of "strokes" that can compose anything else? And if you need to add semantic meaning to identically looking results, that would be another non-visual composable indicator
The amount of times I’ve put or seen @Transactional in the wrong place where it was never called and silently ignored is pretty high. It always led to very long debugging sessions. Especially if you touch that code once a year.
> What matters is how quickly you can get code to do what you want

it's pretty quick to start with java (and presumably kotlin too - not too familiar with it).

I argue that it's even faster than with javascript. You at least don't have to toil with the build tool (java == maven).
I was on reddit before they tried updating their designs, the only reason I'm still there is because they still have the old.reddit.com frontend available. I even use it on mobile where it's not exactly practical. It's not because I have some sort of aversion to change, well, I guess I'm really uninterested in downloading apps considering I didn't even bother to try things like Apolle to see what the fuzz was about, but their various attempts at redesigns have been so bad that I would rather use old.reddit.com than them on mobile, even though it's impractical.

On a computer I see no benefits from any of the redesigns compared to old.reddit.com. I work a lot with Typescript and also React myself, and I love the language, so it's not because I dislike that sort of thing, but I think a list of links with comments just works better without being put into a virtual DOM or even just JS. HN is the perfect example of that, there has been a lot of hobby JS frontends from people, but they all work worse than the real deal and somewhat hilariously they work better than reddit's professional attempts. Now I get why reddit wants to move away from the page-reload. They want a lot of the SoMe interactivity, like their silly chat and so on, but I'm not sure who would ever want a Facebook with total strangers instead of people you actually talk with. I sure don't.
