With Perl there’s always the temptation to completely eschew any readability by using its incredibly powerful and loose syntax to create programs that are indistinguishable from line noise.

You can write some absurdly powerful, really terse programs that make absolutely no fucking sense to anyone else.

Some people see this as a point of pride - Perl golfing etc.
If you’re into emacs, org-capture is great for this kind of thing.
And for thousands of years humans got on with no written contracts at all. That doesn’t change the fact that as society evolves there are good reasons for agreements to evolve with it. I’m sure the first hundred years or so of written contracts there were people rolling their eyes at the idea and others “doing it wrong”. It’s possible (likely?) we’ll reach a point where strong properly implemented digital signatures are considered table stakes. This stuff is hard but probably worth it ultimately.
I am talking about before the mainstream media took it seriously (few days before that video of the doctor became viral). If I could find the Korean Youtuber I would have linked it here. Can't remember the name. The other prolific one who was giving daily updates was "Koreana Jones". Was following these two Youtubers for updates.

I'm really enjoying tildes. The community/culture is correct. Just needs more content (which will come with time).

I as well would love an invite.
Really? Was Perl 5 deprecated with prejudice across ecosystems, forcing projects to work with a janky, still-evolving replacement well ahead of production-grade stability? Because the boot marks in my ass from the forced march to Py3 are still bleeding.
Can you recommend any free resources that amount to an "effective minimal core" or crash course for Perl? I'M a Python dev, but I use sed/cat a great deal, and maybe Perl is a better solution. (Take me to the Dark Side.)
Twice within the last month, new comments just... stopped showing up for several hours. And it took at least an hour from when I first noticed it to when it got mentioned on their status page.

When I say "stopped showing up", I mean I could see my comments on my user page but they wouldn't show up on the thread (even for me), and I would get replies to older comments I made in my inbox but they wouldn't show up in the thread either. (Yes, only an hour or so before this happened I made a post that got a bunch of engagement, and I was actively responding to people who replied to me.)

I knew the mods weren't removing my comments because your removed comments still show up in the thread for you while you're logged in, and the mods weren't removing the comments of the people replying to me either because they would've disappeared from my inbox if that was the case. Ergo, outage.

And then it happened again like two weeks later.
While I totally understand the node.js idea of building the backend with the same language as the frontend, I don’t understand why anyone should use JS for a static website. The point of a static website is to get away from server troubles, and it seems like building something static on top of JS is just the worst house of cards. I’m happy with my tech choices because I always think about the people behind my choices.

I moved from ConTeXt to XeTeX because the people making context didn’t care about documentation.

I moved to Jekyll because the people behind it were making Github. They built something rock solid.

I moved from Apache to Nginx because the people making it were trying to build something simple to configure. It showed and I could solve my redirect issues in minutes.
It doesn't yet, but that's not how deleting on Reddit works. When you delete a comment it isn't still publicly visible.
Unless you had a Crow/Sioux type situation where your tribe was being eradicated by a neighboring tribe and you had been captured and enslaved, or your clan lacked power/influence due to a low number of strong males. But sure, if you were in the top it might have been like you describe.
I loved Fark, especially their photoshop contests (which I recall using Paint Shop Pro for).
I mean, define "endorsement". Permitting something to exist when you have the power to do otherwise is a mild form of endorsement. A commitment to free speech is, to an extent, an endorsement of all the speech that results.
Not sure anyone disagrees that it's effective, especially not if you only examine behaviour localized to one platform.

Anyone who doesn't like this submission being flagged can always start an offsite dedicated to advocating for even more extreme censorship.
You literally couldn't be more wrong.

Fertility rate is inversely correlated with income.

In my opinion, asking clever questions actually is quite important in an interviewer and Lex Fridman is no Joe Rogan in terms of letting the other person talk.
People tend to underestimate the cost of living in a high demand place.

You could make top 10% incomes globally, but if you are living in a top 1% location then you are being priced out by the 9% of the population making more than you.

If you want to live with a certain lifestyle of cars/vacations/personal services etc then you can’t be spending up on the other parts of your budget like housing location.
That's right! It's the distinction Henry Frankfurter makes in his brilliant book: On Bullshit (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691122946/on...)
Indentation instead of syntax is still a crime.
“A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge.
True, another extension would be disastrous, we may never recover from the fallout of malformed UCS2-esque UTF-16. Let's just hope no one fixes all the broken, accidentally forward-compatible decoders in the practically infinite amount of time it will take to completely fill the Unicode codespace.
Same thing here, Western Europe on a 500Mbps connection. Maybe higher traffic from people looking for Reddit alternatives?
> VIP had conceded that it used "Bad Spaniels" as a trademark.

> Cited a "Chick-Fil-Hate" t-shirt as an example of a parody product that could still receive First Amendment protection because it conveys a message about Chick-fil-A and does not use "Chick-Fil-Hate" as a trademark.

Seems reasonable. It's ok for a product to identify itself as product X making a statement Y. Y can use trademarks, but X cannot.

In this case, the bottle is designed to look like a Jack Daniels bottle. If they put a visible, small yellow label at the top stating "Parody Gifts" then the rest of the design would be fine because it clearly discloses the bottle is not from Jack.
I'm not qualified to evaluate the claims either, but I'm not convinced the authors are trustworthy. They say:

"Harrison and Sachs (1) allege that scientists at NIH and elsewhere, including myself and colleagues, conspired to suppress theories of a laboratory origin of SARS-CoV-2. This is false. A possible laboratory origin of SARS-CoV-2 was discussed in our earlier publications"

But there absolutely was a conspiracy to suppress the lab leak theory. This conspiracy is why the infamous letter published in the lancet that admonished the lab leak theory as a 'conspiracy theory's was retracted by the lancet. Peter daszak was one of the signers of the letter, but it came out he attempted to avoid signing the letter even though he arranged the entire thing. The reason he didn't want to sign it? In his words:

“so it has some distance from us and therefore doesn't work in a counterproductive way.”

Why might he feel that way? Well for one his name was on the DARPA grant proposal from 2018 to engineer a coronavirus with the same mutation covid has.
It's definitely a hard problem, but also an extremely important one as real life democracies also suffer issues like this to some extent. Obviously you'd need a bunch of rules around who could vote to prevent brigading, e.g. tenure and activity on the forum at a minimum.

But also, this could be an excellent platform to experiment and discover systems that DO work. I think it's worth trying in any case, as the status quote already "doesn't work" in an even worse way. Special interest groups grab control and there is no way at all to unseat them.
Right, I join in on the Conan and sunny in philly subreddits, and these forums simply do not exist outside of reddit, literally nowhere.
It seems that this language is deeply integrated with CPython, so I doubt if it can be used as a low level language alone. If yes, they probably need to disable a bunch of things.

Also, it is still WIP so I am not sure how things like type works in this language, whether or not it support parameterized lifetime, reference counted objects, union type, closure, etc. Currently, they seems to be focusing on numerical applications, targeting the AI crowd, so it is uncertain how things will go later.
You can generally compost food-soiled paper products, though I expect the cardboard used in pizza boxes wouldn't break down easily in a home or vermiculture composter. Commercial or municipal compost service providers should be able to handle a pizza box just fine. E.g., the Seattle municipal compost program lists pizza boxes as one of the top 5 things you should be putting in your compost bin: https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/collection-a...
Might be, I’m US west coast fwiw.
Not entirely related but a few years ago I started a side project with the aim of teaching myself a few new tools, and solving some of the biggest issues I had with reddit. [1]

Since then, reddit has addressed a lot of these themselves (crossposting, submitting text and link together) but in quite a bolted-on way.

I would love to see a site that rather than just being a reddit clone, takes all of the lessons learnt from reddit over the years as a base and better enables these communities and discussions.

>And it would in turn be worth noting that the creators of reddit had a philosophical and political commitment to free speech that drove their light-touch approach to moderation

That's nonsense. The Sears debacle showed that reddits leadership team was fine with deleting posts if it was going to cost them money to not delete them.

That 'political commitment to free speech' sure disappeared quickly when r/jailbait and u/violetacrez hit the main stream media.

spez was fine with hosting a community of child predators because it was one of the most popular subs. It was the top recommended result when you searched for reddit on google.

You can support free speech without actively providing a community for predators
NAT is something which should not have existed in the first place: IPv6 should have.

My 2017/18 civic (not sure which one was the production year) already has all these systems, i.e. adaptive cruise control keeping distance, auto braking before impact, automatic lane-keeping > 70 km/h and rumble warnings.
> Take your insight here about NVidia - it's false.

That seems inconsistent with:

> They said they expect them to increase significantly in the next quarter.

The beating the market thing is the thing where you figure it out before other people and buy before the price goes up. Or figure out what people will think will be the case in the future.

Even if their sales don't go up at all, because large numbers of people now expect them to, someone who came to that conclusion earlier and bought the stock last year will have beat the market between then and now.

> Even if it does, and even if it doubles what they say, the valuation of the company is still in the bubble territory.

Tech valuations always include the potential for growth. When you make a lot of money and have a hot product to leverage into dominance in other market segments, you have more growth potential.

Microsoft now makes more revenue from Azure than Windows. But the reason for that is Windows. They can give you a VM with Windows without paying anyone else for a license, which is a competitive advantage that gets them a huge chunk of a market which is bigger than Windows itself.

That is never guaranteed, but the potential for it increases valuations. Then sometimes they crash. But sometimes they go up more, because the potential actually pans out.

> Another great example is Tesla - stock surged on anouncement that GM will use their chargers. When you look at the numbers, they will make an insignificant money on that (optimistic scenarios are between 3-10 billion $, by 2030 !)

Because it's not about making money on chargers. If more companies use their charging standards, more places will install their chargers because there will be more customers with cars that can use them. With more chargers, more people will find it viable to buy an electric car. Then they sell more cars.

And it's the same kind of thing. The valuation includes the potential for growth. Now Tesla is selling a lot of cars, which they're making batteries for, so they're gaining expertise in making cost-effective batteries. If the batteries get cheap enough, they won't just be selling them in cars, it will make Powerwalls and grid storage cost-effective, and that's a big potential market.

There is no guarantee this happens, but the potential for it increases their valuation.
I’d like to think that people might use this opportunity to move to distributed options like rss with forums operated independently or maybe federated alternatives but neither of those options are easy enough from an end-user standpoint to get traction against the next big link-aggregator site
Costco actually uses some tools to help with this and I think their pizza is pretty solid.
Labels and infighting is easy. I wonder if they are actually fascists or tankies.

Also, what is a "tanky"?
That's good insight and similar to my own experiences. I spent time on various forums in the late 90s and early 00s. It was a golden experience and I got to know a lot of the members there. You had the usual suspects chatting amongst all the lurkers. The model was far superior to the type chat systems were using today to build similar communities.

I did the VC funded thing and personally don't want to go back to it. I also don't really care about the high growth thing but being sustainable is important. Sustained growth and profitability at least means the thing can be around for a while. I also think it comes down to the values of the creators of any platform. At what point are they going to sell out and why. That really irks me now. Like everything is in the service of wealth creation as opposed to real value. I think the only way to mitigate that is structure the project and team in a way to support it. So if you get on the VC hamster wheel, there's no path but hyper growth. If you go against it and say, run a really normal business or even a social enterprise (aka non profit), maybe it actually benefits the people it's in service of.

Was born in late 80s. Lived through all of the major events post that. And no you could publicly question everything back then. There were no calls for cancellations or boycotts just because you believed in controversy theories.

Look up 9/11 Truthers movement and "Bush Did It!" to get an idea of the conspiracy theories that emerged right after 9/11. The "Bush Did It!" rallies took place in September 2002, just 1 year after 9/11.

Personally I don't believe in the 9/11 Truthers movement but I wouldn't even know about it if COVID level censorship was adopted back in 2001. Mainstream media was very different back then. Compared to what it has devolved into now.
The term "trademark" is literally a "mark" (identifying symbol) for "trade" (commercial purposes). Kagan's quote is basically saying that the Roger's test only applies when you're using trademarks for noncommercial purposes.
And Cloudflare seems to be increasingly denying access to sites from browsers with spoofed or hidden referers, which is an attack on individual privacy.
> The NHS now has chronic shortage of nurses.

Why? Because it's not an attractive profession nowadays. Not for the few hundreds of deniers that were fired.

> You're rather proving my point. So many people are just not ready to have a rational conversation about these narratives. It's all just tribalism and dogma, and we will have to wait years for people like you to calm down to the point where you are able to have reasonably conversations on these topics again.

I haven't seen any rational or unique point in everything you have written, only spitting the usual covid deniers nonsense.

You know what my real fear is? The fear that people that have this kind of opinions regarding the pandemic will apply the same reasoning to the next one or to the next crisis. I have a different opinion of preppers now.

They made a 2 slot, 24GB ram card with the same chip as on the GTX 980 Ti, called the Quadro M6000.

They're still around US$650 on Ebay though, unlike the 12GB variant of that card (much, much cheaper). Random example:

Digging around a bit more, it looks like there's a "Tesla M40" card of the same generation with 24GB ram. Seems to be quite a few of those on Ebay for around US$150-200.
Some pointer aritmetic in Swift i found it painful to do when calling some C library - it was much easier to create some wrapper in ObjC and do low lever pointer manipulation there. This is what I call it seamless - if I have to do some low level image/texture preprocessing it's still easier to do it in ObjC
As a culture, we are stuck. This article illustrates this well: https://lindynewsletter.beehiiv.com/p/culture-stuck

This language refusing to fade away like other ancient languages is just a symptom of the root cause. Myself, I use Elixir as my primary language.
It seems likely this will happen more and more.

Sure, and one can absolutely criticize him for that, but I think if one wants to criticize how /r/jailbait and similar subs were handled it's better to do that directly rather than making a more nebulous insinuation that stands on weaker ground.
I find this attitude to be pretty weird. Like merely from an aesthetic point of view, I'd prefer a world with a healthy earth than one without, regardless of the question of human beings. If rational/advanced consciousness is the issue, a healthy earth is more likely to spin up a new intelligent species if we go extinct than a dead one.
I remember it being a thing before Digg too. I visited it less after Digg got popular.
Absolutely not. The idea sounded good in the founders' heads, and now a tech blog is here to interview you, so you better "believe" what you are selling.
This must be a major funnel for them. The fact they can't even run a robust text-only website ought to be an embarrassment, but here we are. Every time there's a major tech story the site grinds to a halt until one guy jumps onto a server and ninjas it or whatever. Unprofessional to say the least.

A similar mistake I see people make is hearing the headline, "SCOTUS sides with party A over party B", and conclude the Court generally supports and agrees with what A did and maybe even believes A acted morally rightly.

That's not SCOTUS's job and that's not what they do (usually). It doesn't carry the voice of the people and has no mandate to do what the people want. Its job is to decide whether our system of laws as constructed by Congress (which is the voice of the people) and as bounded by the Constitution ultimately allows A or B to prevail. In no way should a ruling in favor of A be construed as an endorsement of A's action.

See Antonin Scalia's strongly worded thoughts about the Texas v Johnson flag-burning case, in which he voted contrary to his personal convictions about the morality of Johnson's actions. Because, ultimately, he knew his vote was not a moral judgment but a legal one.
The only way political power translates to economic power is through socialism (when considered not just to be control of the means of production, but control of everything, including living arrangements). And while certain things are socialistic in Western countries, it would be a dramatic upheaval to make everything socialistic.

In the US there's only about 107 million Millennials and GenZers of voting age. This compares to about 150 million of GenX and older. Some of those people undoubtedly can't vote due to citizenship constraints, but Millennials and GenZers certainly can't control political power, even if they unified. https://www.statista.com/statistics/797321/us-population-by-...

2022:

GenZ = 69.58 million, 1997-2012 births, so about half can vote.

Millennials = 72.24 million

GenX = 65.37 million

Baby Boomers = 68.59 million

Silent = 18.29 million

Greatest = 670 thousand

This distribution appears to be similar for the UK: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populati...

Reddit is working fine for me in Germany. Was also browsing it about an hour ago. HN has problems for me tho.

Geographically limited CDN/backbone issue?
Is there a research into modern labor? I am interested in age and sex structure of workforce, unpaid work, including by women and seniors, entrepreneurship as form of labor, across decades and countries.
Reddit is also like one group per topic(generally), I mean there's branches of topics and breakaways but in general there's usually a main sub on a topic where you might have 50 Facebook groups. it's nice to have more silod content, IMHO.
I've been having this exact same idea. Basically a way for any RSS reader to discover comments from anywhere. Of course you run into the problems of moderation and latency, but I believe some clever systems around prefetching and shared lists of verified and banned users could work.

But the main problem I've run into for link discovery is the voting system. If you actually want a distributed system counting votes becomes expensive fast.
Looks readable to me. Though you had the advantage of not being forced into using Perl for really complex data structures.

I love Perl, but that's the part I don't like. If you, for example, have to parse a very deeply nested piece of JSON, you're very quickly into that weak spot. Lots of crazy sigils, braces, etc...all mushed together. Worse if you're having to use refs, globs, etc.
