We may finally crack Maths. But should we?
What an absurd statement. By that same sentiment drugs, weapons, organs etc. should be freely available in the market. Which they obviously aren't for good reasons.

Basically every modern society recognizes that people need to be protected from themselves in some capacity. For the same reason we don't have true capitalism.
I don't know how anyone can reasonably come to this conclusion from the post and from his interviews. If you can elaborate on your reasoning I'm keen to hear it because this whole situation is wild enough that I feel like there should be two sides to it, but so far I've not heard anything concrete, only personal attacks, unsubstantiated and refuted technical criticism, and straw-man arguments about monetising the API, something he is clearly in favour of.

48 hours will not even ding reddit. Do it for a month and it will count, assuming reddit doesn't simply re-enable the subreddits. But obviously the mods here are walking a fine line between pissing off their users and getting reddit to bend over.

With camarades.com we had a week long outage because of a fire in EV1's DC which then caused the fire marshal to shut everything down for a week (I don't blame them, but that's a failure mode we had not considered). This caused us to go dark completely without an easy way to reach the users to tell them what was going on.

When power came back traffic was where it was before within 20 minutes, and the next day we even had a surge in traffic that we didn't ever pass again. If you really want to see an effect I would suggest a period somewhere between two weeks and a month backed up by a threat to do it for three months if they don't recant. That would have some serious teeth in it and threatens to completely derail any IPO plans they might have.

Anything less and you're just showing that it is reddit that is the boss, not you. A good rule for a community is that if it isn't your domain, database and server it isn't really your community.
Firefox’s right click + Q to immediately focus on a DOM element in dev tools is such a powerful feature. I’d try to get that in your system if you’re a web dev.

Lemmy is still too obscure to be on the radar i guess.
I'm extremely reluctant to let my kids spend money on in-app purchases, and I'm extremely reluctant to do it myself. My youngest is currently begging for Robux, but he can't explain what he wants to spend them on. My oldest has his own allowance that he's free to spend how he likes, and a lot of it is going to purchasing various games, but the amount he can spend is very limited and he seems to be pretty careful about what he spends it on. I think a shared hosted Minecraft server with some friends is his latest expenditure, and I guess that makes sense.

Years ago, I did discover that one of my kids had done some in-app purchases coming from my credit card which I never authorized. I immediately reverted it, and complained to Google that unauthorized purchases should not be possible. It's utterly ridiculous that it was possible back then. I hope they fixed that. Payments should always require explicit authorization from me to my bank.
It looks like they might be prepared for that already in some ways.

Reddit used to be a place where you go for relatively unbiased opinions. Some mods and subreddits were better than the rest, some worse. But atleast there was an illusion of being unbiased. Mods to for brand/product subreddits atleast officially were not linked to the company.

But that is no more the case, just realized a few weeks back that /r/midjourney is modded by the official team and reddit does not seem to be doing anything about it.

Guess Reddit is trying to become more like Facebook with major brands managing their own subreddits, so no more random mods needed.
You should do it.

An hour is too long, just cut it short if you’ve got nothing to chat about.

The other comments about never talking to your boss and being productive are stupid wishful thinking and you should ignore them.

Your job as a senior is not to sit and hack away at code; that is a job for juniors.

You have to do “team” things too, and part of that is knowing what your team mates and boss are doing and expecting.

How are you planning on doing that without talking to them?

Most likely at least one member of your team is not communicating and it’s easier to apply a blanket policy than single one person out for it.

So, don’t take it personally, you’re not being micromanaged.

If the cadence feels too short, suggest you do it less often, but saying you see “no value” in them and want to opt out is the wrong approach, gonna make your boss unhappy and not solve anything.
Because that’s how Reddit is designed, and that’s how forums worked before Reddit.

If you don’t like the way a subreddit is run then you can make another one, and if you are sufficiently better then people will switch. Reddit isn’t stack exchange. It’s more like running an open source project.

The problem is that there’s this hostile corporation that sometimes tries to kill their own product every few years overseeing everything.

There's pretty much always implementations, but it is a huge headache when people rely on behavior which is not yet stable.

The browsers have started to first ship things behind feature flags, and in Chrome's case also behind "Origin trials". We just have less need now for one browser to go off and define their own way for borders to be drawn as rounded rectangles.

I suspect we'll see some funky CSS extensions ship pre-standardization for VR headsets, though. Things like controlling the z-axis height of <dialog> and other elements.
We have Lemmy. I already deleted my Reddit account and moved.
> hey, guess what? reddit "profits" a LOT from unpaid work from their moderators.

That work is not forced, they all choose to "work" for free and can quit any time they want.

And that work may be unpaid in monetary terms, but many of those moderators enjoy their share of internet fame or a sense of power over "commoners" or their feeling they are doing something for a common good, that they are happy to continue working unpaid.
Proper Binary Chrome (not Chromium), Minecraft, MS Edge, and I'm sure there was something else I needed to install recently where I needed to download a .deb and run "sudo dpkg -i <thing>"

Okay, I don't *need* to install Minecraft, but I like it.

Yes, Edge works just great on Linux, probably better than it does on Windows.

I am not a typical Linux user. I have been doing weird and unsupported shit with it since kernel 0.93 and I know what I'm getting into before I unscrew the lid.

Blackberries are very borderline. They could do some things but really they were just an extension of regular phones with a big keyboard. There wasn’t really anything “smart” about them. Sure you could browse the web but with a keyboard so it was trash.

Conversely, I "love" how other comments appear to attempt finding the best angle of attack out of pure spite. If the user were a GPT, the hidden prompt would be something like "You hate Apple and everything they stand for. Base any succeeding thoughts on this foundation and spread them as wide as possible."

Being a grumpy naysayer is just as removed from reality as being an unreasonable Apple cultist. Thankfully we all have a choice when engaging our wallets.

Not a single person on this planet is forced to buy an Apple product but nonetheless, the flame wars keep raging since the dawn of the Internet.
You can produce hydrogen with surplus electricity generated from wind power. Can it get any greener? In Germany Greenpeace Energy creates Methane this way and adds it to natural gas. Hydrogen would be much better IMO. Feeding wind energy to the grid was stopped for a while because there was so much of it and nuclear reactors run when they do. There is a lot of potential to be tapped.
Why isn't there a reddit clone ready to host all those communities under a different economic model (such as donations)?

I used Arch for years but switched to Ubuntu because I got tired of coping with Arch's broken networking in the default kernels, and then they shipped a totally broken avr-gcc which prevented me from doing actual proper work.

This was a while ago, probably about ten years ago, and I've used Ubuntu ever since.
You can, but these sorts of setups have historically been bad about evaluating the upstream certicate/CA chain for validity, and for things like proper certificate transparency.

This might be something a web extension could do, though.

Not a software company, but the cheese board collective in Berkeley seems very interesting. They have survived for a very long time through the pandemic, etc. Impressive.

Not quite an answer either, but one reason for my interest in alternative models of operation is the IETF. It is, and has been a remarkably effective organization. Thanks to them I am typing on my computer at home and sending this out. They do _not_ have members. I understand that they are not a business, but they are more effective than any software company I worked for.

Even if UHT wouldn't bust mass budgets for the trip, it'd have to be protected from freezing. I don't know what the SPoT capabilities are for non-deep-freeze er ... warm chain transport, but that's an additional logistical hurdle.

Liquids could also pose stability issues in transit, from sloshing and the like.
Because security is not a priority for the industry. Most have no security, default authentication in the rare case that they have it, and they use protocols with no support for it. The field is decades behind in security practices (it's pretty much IoT) and won't improve unless forced to.

It's also difficult to update such devices in the field so even if they do fix such issues it's only for new units or a new product line which most customers won't bother with until forced to by regulations / incidents as it's expensive to replace them (you have to send someone out on the field as there are pretty much no OTA updates).
You can install glibc on Alpine but it's a shitemare from start to finish. Better to stick to Arch for a very similar user experience.
"a dependent function may depend on the value (not just type) of one of its arguments" from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_type

The value does not exist during compilation. AFAIKT dependent type are used mostly during executable proof checkers to verify claims on the value-dependent types. So maybe using the term runtime is a bit to specific, but you do not have values (except literals) during typescript execution phase.
Phones got larger. 6" or 7" phones are normal now, they are always with us, no need to also buy a 8" or 10" tablet.

As a data point, I do own a tablet. It's mostly a mobile TV screen: a TV Headend client for broadcast TV, NewPipe for YouTube and VLC to a shared disk on a server at Home. Not having to sit in front of a fixed TV set it great. My TV is mostly forgotten in a corner of the living room.

I rarely bring the tablet with me outside home. When I do it's with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Example: I'm on vacation but I need some sort of work connectivity in case nasty things happen. Ssh works better on a 8.4" screen than on a phone. That doesn't happen every year luckily. My laptop is larger, weights more and I'll cry if it breaks or gets stolen. Damage to the tablet will only piss me off a bit.
Pixel density is a bit higher in the Apple Vision Pro. Might be less of an issue.
m is insert-ordered, not key-ordered. I guess “sorted” would be a better descriptor since “ordered” is ambiguous.

Yes, arrays can be used as LIFO queues. They can also be used as FIFO queues with shift() instead of pop(), but the language does not specify a complexity bound on shift() so depending on the runtime it may be O(N). And then there’s priority queues.
This is similar to the point being made in "The Innovators Dilemma" [1].

I experience this currently at the wealth management bank I work. They were reluctant for a long time to invest into a mobile app for trading because it may cannibalise their current portfolio. They built it last year, but pricing was close to our bespoke services. The developers built a great product but when pricing is double whats on the market, then you are going nowhere.

The question "Will it cannibalise our current profits?" is asked to stop every idea. Rightfully so maybe: We make 750k revenue per employee. Money is bursting through the seams. Shame it all goes to shareholders, not employees.

Nobody thinks that, not even the Apollo author, which is why the problem is not that Reddit is charging for access to the APIs, but that they are charging far more than the amount they’re losing.
Google used to keep a mirror of all reddit posts and comments as a demo for their cloud bigquery product:

SELECT * FROM fh-bigquery.reddit.subreddits

Unfortunately they stopped updating it in 2016.
I had an app that was making about $10,000 USD a month. It was taken down by Google because apparently I copied some other developer's iOS app.

I asked them to tell me the name of the iOS app they believed I copied. They named the iOS version of my Android app.

They basically accused me of copying myself because the Android version was under my company's name while the iOS version was under my name.

Google unbanned the app, but sales dropped to $1000 a month.

After that ordeal I decided to build web apps only.
Because that different economic model is highly unlikely to work.

The smart meter should have had better security. But the device isn't designed to switch heavy loads repeatedly, this is only meant to be used sporadically as an emergency cut-off (for instance, in case of a fire or if the customer is permanently disconnected for some reason). In case of a fire nobody cares about whether or not the smart meter survives. In case of a disconnect for administrative reasons the disconnect usually happens at night to minimize the risk of arcing.

Keep in mind that your typical electrical service is 10's of KW and that switching that kind of power repeatedly under load requires a device that is essentially sacrificial in nature. Now let's see what they charge you for that meter replacement, it's not going to be cheap.

Note that the meter isn't yours to mess with, it is in your house and on your property but from an administrative perspective your stuff starts after the mains cutoff which is downstream from the smart meter. Anything before that including the mains cutoff is the property of whoever manages the local network, either a specialized grid operator or the utility company that sells you the power. You can see which way it works by looking at your electricity bill and by whether or not you call your utility when there is a problem with the local grid or the network operator. Where I live these are separate legal entities, but in some places it is just the one.

Finally: don't mess with the grid, it's a shared resource. It is trivial to cause damage by for instance injecting power at higher voltage levels than the appliances in the houses around you can deal with, blowing up a meter before your ability to cut off can have very unpredictable effects. In theory it is all safe and it should be able to withstand some abuse but in practice older networks still exist and not all of them are equally robust. So just don't.
> Some portion of users will also just fall back to visiting other subreddits on June 12.

It doesn't seem like there are many subreddits not participating in the blackout.

Another dark pattern is hijacking back to move you to the 'front page' of the site. Like twitter, get linked to a tweet and then the back button takes you to your feed, which absolutely nobody requested.

Should fit your budget new. It might be more fun to look for used watches. If you're more interested in the inards, you can probably get a non working version to take apart for very cheap, but even a used Omega automatic should fit your budget.

If you want to "get into" watches it may make sense to read around a bit more to figure out what would suite your interests...
You see a bench in your garden, and you cannot sit on it. That's just very disappointing. I don't even want to translate that into the sexual domain ...

The idea of VR/AR is super exciting, and beat saber is super fun. The reason why beat saber is super fun is because it manages to transcend the visual only aspect of VR. I don't see how this can be done in general. Unless you can go full Holodeck, I don't see the general appeal for most things. Immersive cinema is certainly a nice application, 3D-avatar facetime is not.
I stopped counting at lower subbed communities (below 100k IIRC), seeing diminishing returns. If they all add up that much it's interesting, as many of those communities are very niche, so may have a higher weight of unique subs.
Facebook pays their moderators though.

If reddit would pay subreddit moderators, top commenters, users that submit very interesting stuff, and in the case of Apollo, people creating the Apps that enable you to use Reddit in a pleasant way, then the story would be different.
>I'm sorry, but buying things on the internet wasn't laughed at,

Yes, it was laughed at and during the early internet days, people were skeptical that online shopping would become mainstream. An example includes the famous prediction from Clifford Stoll from 1995[1] :

>Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we'll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure. [...] Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping--just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet--which there isn't--the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.

Clifford was correct in that brick & mortar stores wouldn't become obsolete. But he was very wrong about the mass consumer adoption of internet shopping. Many agreed with his mispredictions at the time.

It’s completely made up and untrue. Think about it, a billion users is 1/7 of all people on earth. If you assume that number has to be at least 3x in the US (extremely conservative, given we’re incredibly rich and at least 100x more exposed to it in media than most of the world), you’d have to expect that basically 40% of people you know are actively using it.

Impossible. My extended circle which leans tech overall is maybe 4%. And many just tried it and aren’t really actively using it.

They’re counting numbers very funny.
That’s only if hacker news decides to implement it. And based on their motto, I doubt they will.
What’s the important metric? Performance.

What’s one of the measures they use to establish performance? In-person attendance.

Why? Because it… improves… performance?

I mean, that’s just like testing to see how warm a house is by seeing how often the heating is turned on. Except some houses are in Cuba and some are in Siberia. It’s the wrong approach.

But meh. The largest company I’ve worked for had 0.5% of the staff Google has, so who am I to say what does and doesn’t work as a metric for them? It’s an entirely different ballgame, and not one I think I would enjoy being a part of.
> Which begs the question why the hell they didn't work on getting the apps used for browsing Reddit to display ads? Just include them as posts like they do on the website, perhaps just with a label added. If the apps try to filter away the ads, revoke their API keys.

Yep, that's what Telegram did - there can be ads in public channels, they're clearly labeled as such in the API, and third-party clients must not filter them or will get their access revoked.
Understandable comment. To be fair, the SO community (and moderation) clearly play an important role in the utility of the site, in the same way Wikipedia editors are held to high scrutiny for their objectivity. Surely if enough people have reasonable objections based on past experiences, that is relevant.
Or, as is often reported, they commandeer one of the conference rooms for themselves.

But at the same time it's perfectly okay to just come up to your busy colleague and pester them about something, because collaboration.
Except that ownership of land, in America, on balance, provides a little more security than, um, "owning" a Subreddit. But hey, I don't know much about Reddit, and I've not followed much of the discussion, but has it not come up yet that Reddit could penalize these, um (again), "owners" for their uprising by taking their "ownership" away and opening back up these Subreddits?
According to the current count, less than 2% of subreddits are going dark.
