I think the comparison fails to recognize that Apple design their systems for specific workloads and user profiles. Apple has long abandoned the server market.
Maybe it was a strategy. Once you lose enough troops, red does become good camouflage?
> It’s hard to accept but Reddit is a dysfunctional colossus that is simply not feasible to replicate at this point, and as such the management can pretty much do as they please.

History proves otherwise. Colossuses have fallen. You can't rely on size to guarantee impunity for shitty actions.
I agree. It's often toxic, but it fills a common need to belong.

The need can be healthy (or at least it is common in healthy people). The satisfaction of it can be toxic, and it takes a strong(?)/determined, or at least self-aware, person to escape the local maxima and reach for something approaching real fulfillment.

But I may be projecting. I would be dissatisfied if I still lived in the town/state/region I grew up in, for example. Some people are perfectly happy there and never even question their (lack of) path. And I'm not talking about people born in destination locations!
They have a timeline to IPO. Reddit took $50m almost 10 years ago. They believe this will blow over quickly so they'd rather rip off the band-aid.

Netflix had the numbers of how much an account was shared then they tried blocking password sharing in smaller markets they felt it would help them get more subscribers so they did. This was not something out of the blue they have been testing this for a while. They even introduced a cheaper with ads tier to get subscriber that were not willing to pay $10 and above a month.
You do realize that the Yuan losing 7% against the dollar meant that export numbers looked like it dropped by a similar percentage in May right? The reports are all using USD to show such a huge drop. In reality if the reports were to use RMB, exports only dropped .8% meaning they are exporting roughly as much as before in raw numbers.

Right now China isn't pouring money into industry because it frankly never needed it. With the opening, more money is now being pumped into reopening services in China, that's why when you look at the PMI for services it's much higher, because people are taking money out of industry (unless it's high tech oriented) and parking it in services. People aren't necessarily consuming more, but it doesn't mean they aren't using much more services than they previously were, and eating out more, etc. GDP doesn't only look at industrial output.

BTW. All the other numbers you cited in the other articles were also provided by the Chinese government.
These kind of libertarian explanations always conveniently neglect to mention any power imbalances between the parties. When called on it the response is usually just a less polite version of "oh well".

> It doesn't help that btrfs developers refuse to work around drive bugs.

The entire selling point of the filesystem is that it's resilient to data corruption. Drive bugs are just another class of data corruption.
Did you know it’s $3/month/user? It was odd to me he didn’t share that bit, he stays focused on the gross sum, which distorts the argument IMHO: that fee is very reasonable
Oh sorry - I realized I worded that poorly - yes, you can watch in hotels, but it's Netflix, thus... garbage

I just remote into my Plex when I'm at a hotel.

I had Netflix from when DVDs were novel new tech, until last year when my mobile provider stopped paying my subscription.

I was like "Pay my own money for Netflix?"

So if I rent everything, I can live my exact same lifestyle but be called a minimalist?

I dunno, look what happened to RMS.
I might have over 100 physical paper books. I know I have well over 100 computer parts and accessories (including cables, adapters, extra hard drives, USB drives, game controllers, webcams, old CPU fans, PCIe cards, etc)

I don’t think I’m making it to less than 500 items total. Maybe not even less than 1K.

I also don’t see anything wrong with that.
That is one of the exact things I'm talking about. Mass banning from subs you don't even participate in, or that could not have been related to whatever you're being persecuted for.
i still think it's better system than reddit.

At this point it’ll be wasted momentum if a good alternative doesn’t prop up. It’ll be like WhatsApp and Twitter’s forgotten outrage.
The difference is that with Nix, you'd always have a working configuration. With traditional deploy tools, scripts stop working at the most inconvenient timing because they're not reproducible.

I’m in the midst of a life transition and I’ve found that it’s a good opportunity to do some culling. I’m fine with some extravagances (I have probably about 1500 books, of which I’ve cataloged 1,166 on LibraryThing (my transition has paused cataloging activity as my library is mostly living in boxes now and part of the cataloging is shelving everything by Library of Congress call number). On the flip side, I have a very well-defined wardrobe now, with 9 long sleeve shirt, 9 short sleeve shirts, 4 pairs of trousers, 10 pairs of socks and 10 pairs of underwear (I make a point of doing laundry once a week, the more than 7 of everything allows me to occasionally let laundry day slip a little). I have a complete list of all the furniture in the house, which is going to end up being reduced somewhat. I don’t know that I’ll be down to 200 items (excluding books), but I think that once I’ve finished my transition, I will be definitely much more deliberate about what I allow into my home.

I apologize, but how is this relevant?

Just looking at the Wikipedia page for this standard makes it really clear why it has never seen widespread adoption (and I, for one, am really happy it didn't).

The project OP is referring to instead adheres to a very small, very clear spec, and not in the sense of implementing it. Instead, the project seeks to provide a set of tools using this limited spec.

I have my own set of criticisms for the OP, but this just doesn't make any sense.
You also have keys to each so that's at least 4 items, and then your clothes and computer, i'm sure you have soap and toothbrush and toothpaste, and hopefully you have toilet paper and a bed, and having a bed means you likely have a pillow, pillow cover, sheet, blanket, and mattress, etc
Buying a nice bicycle may be the healthiest of these obsessions: Approximately as ludicrously expensive as audiophile gear, but you don't need to be talented to get some extra fitness and joy out if it. It's as expensive as it is accessible, and if you want to, sociable.
You're welcome, and it's ok - I get how hard it is to remember these things and also how easily it can seem like we've banned an account for a bad or unfair reason. If you (or anyone) have that impression again in the future, you're welcome to ask. In a few cases there are details we can't disclose, but in most cases we're working with information that's public (like comment histories) and can tell you why we banned an account. You might not disagree with the reason and that's fine, but I'd rather that people disagree with the actual reason and not an incorrect one.
CCS chargers are a requirement to get future federal grants
100% with ya. High-end music gear and camera equipment are always on my wish list. It's easy to fall into 'gear acquisition syndrome', so I've just tried to be intentional about treating myself to nice gear only when I know I'm really gonna use it. Also thankfully, I live in a big city where I've been able to buy and sell some great equipment on the secondhand market.

"Together, Ford, Tesla, and GM represent nearly three-quarters of the EV market in the US — or 72 percent."

https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/9/23755184/tesla-ev-charging...

Europe will be stuck with a clunky CCS plug when the US has a lighter and easier to use plug.

Once these things get established, they are hard to change: In the US our 120 volt household wiring really limits appliances. "Instant" teakettles are common in the UK, and don't require special outlets. In the US, an "instant" teakettle would require a special outlet.

That's what happens when a country standardizes too early: The US had domestic electricity first... And picked a worse standard as a result.
Everyone gets to find out in a few weeks. Who wants to be the bookie?
Is everyone forgetting about the early 2010s when people on imgur would call reddit “that confusing site” because most people weren’t familiar with old.reddit.com’s wide and hierarchical structure with different subreddits. Reddit needed to grow as a company with VC funding so they needed to change their target audience to the internet illiterate to keep getting more users and in turn made a UI that all the internet literate people hate but the new users don’t mind. That’s why the information density was severely reduced. You can’t show them too much text or it scares them away.
From a cursory glance this seems to be a contender for libuv, so I would like to learn more about motivation for this project. Unfortunately, none is given, as well as why is it limited only to POSIX APIs.
Regardless, if DJT wins in 2024, US allies will probably curtail intelligence sharing. I can only imagine their reactions to this indictment.
Absolutely fascinating, thank you.

My story about Chipotle and the delivery services: They had a separate production line for the delivery services, and the retail/in-house customers had another, which had less people. And of course, the retail people got less chicken (kinda big in my mind, a chipotle burrito is crap without a heaping spoonful) than the separate production.

And I'm standing there wondering why you're treating these delivery apps where you get maybe 2/3s of the revenue as THE PEOPLE WHO WENT TO YOUR STORE, and probably are ordering fountain drinks as well which are basically pure profit, even remotely as close as the delivery apps.

As a manager, I would instruct workers to be generous for the in-store crowd, or ensure "good" burrito makers are on the in-store line. But... it's fast food, and I should find local burritos besides the rapidly declining Chipotle anyway, which was never that good anyway.
Yeah that's the sorta crazy thing.

I'm on Reddit a bit too much for my taste, but literally everyone thought they'd be bankrupt/dead within a year.

Watching that spectacle today, I had this weird gross feeling like I was at a party, but looked around and it was actually just a seedy drug house and I was hanging out with a weird crowd.

I think my 30's officially ended today.

I was disappointed to learn Vitamix and Instant Pot aren’t dual voltage compatible. Can’t use them in Europe.

I read a book in the early 90s (https://www.librarything.com/work/184088/reviews/17020402) that suggested that the authority of a given article, book, etc should be based on the number of times it was cited in other articles, books etc, weighted by the authority of the items that did the citing.

I.e. PageRank.
I genuinely don’t know where I’d head next if HN shut down or otherwise jumped the shark. FB was never a viable option for me, Twitter got Musked, and Reddit never held much appeal. Guess I’d have to learn how to Mastodon.
Looks like some game of chess: China stopped supporting North Vietnam, but that didn't stop North Vietnam from invading South Vietnam, after the pullout. However at that point no one in the US cared about any domino theory, because the US was now friends with China against the Soviet Union.

I wonder what the chess pieces were all thinking...
According to a UCLA survey, over 1.6MM trans people live in the US. According to Iceland, 6,492 Icelanders live in the US. If you tried to tell someone "only a small minority of people identify as Icelanders", they'd look at you like a space alien.
Their videos are so good!
I agree, and not just for this reason. Apple isn’t the kind to add more ports unless absolutely necessary. A video input would limit the user’s ability to move around, and is not something Apple would do.

I’m sure there are people at Apple who are terribly unhappy with the Vision Pro’s external battery pack connected by a cable and port as well as the ability to connect to power outside (I recall there was some mention of external power connectivity for usage longer than the two hours the battery pack provides). This is one of the first things Apple will get rid of by the time the third generation is released.
While your central thesis probably has merit, I just want to point out that the way you present it sounds incredibly ignorant and simplistic to anyone in Asia. Maybe Japan and Korea are more ethnostates.. but it's sorta ridiculous to say it's an Asian things

Within 5 minutes of arriving in Kuala Lumpur you will see more diversity than in most American cities - with equal parts Indian, Chinese and Bumi (ethnically Indonesian). I mean.. maybe they all just look "asian" to you, but they're distinct to anyone from the region. On top of that you will regularly see people from the middle east and elsewhere.

The Chinese, outside of han-nationalist circles, typically do not see themselves as an ethnostate (but by contrast the Taiwanese sort of do) - that was sort of the central theme of the 2008 olympics.. and I've met many minorities in China that would be confused and maybe offended if you suggested they weren't Chinese

So by extension Taiwanese also view themselves as Chinese, but typically not part of China geopolitically. ( a lot of the issues here stem from linguistics.. b/c in Chinese there are many separate terms to distinguish things like ethnic Han, culturally Chinese, Chinese citizens of the PRC and other subtleties - I'm not going to pretend to understand all of them)

Thailand is also incredibly pluralistic, though minorities are more integrated into one culture.

There isn't typically "founding father" hero worship and the same ideological cohesion as in the United States, but it's also simplistic to say that doesn't exist at all. You have for instance Sun Yat-sen who is .. sort of founding-father-like (his ideology doesn't seem as coherant as in the US though) . If you want ideological though, the most obvious is Maoism. Ideological purity is sort of unacceptable in the post-Cultural Revolution period, but it's still a powerful force in their society
I like the concept, but this reeks of native advertising.

Sell out to whom? The offer of API access is a lie -- everyone who has asked to setup a billing situation has been ignored.

There was no actual unlocked price for the first iphone because there was no official unlocked phone, and only way to buy one was through AT&T. A $1200 on ebay is paying for the phone + hype + an unlock hack. The first unsubsidized, direct sale iPhone from Apple was the 3g, and the 8GB version was only $499.
Boy, that's elementary level excuse. Your honor, my dog ate my homework.
In a way I admire committed minimalists. But I often wonder what their long term lifestyle is like. Surely many of them are single (or they only count the items which are solely theirs). They surely rent at a higher rate than own property. They surely own vehicles at a lower rate. And so on. I just get this picture of a person in an urban area, living alone in a studio apartment, dependent upon everyone else for basically everything.
Minimalist is just a self-identified label, so you're welcome to call yourself a minimalist if you feel that it fits.

You don't have to look for some technical workaround to some exact definition here, and pedantically arguing about descriptive terms can get tiring real quick.

Maybe you're not trying to be pedantic and are coming from a place of curiosity, and I do apologize for my tone if that's the case. It is coming off as sounding a little "debate-bro" though.
Like many apps, Apollo had (a small number of) paid users and (a large number of ) free users. And because they were competing with the Reddit app (which is free) their pricing model was only $10/year.

Reddit's changes would mean that they would have to cut off all of their free users entirely, and 10x the cost of the paid users. Also, they would have to lose money on all of their existing yearly paid paid users until renewal time.
The only thing that peaks my interest is the "LGA-style" connector for the raspi. Does anyone have photos of this or the part number?
Not quite.

1. They can potentially be downloaded and parsed in parallel

2. They can be invalidated independently, meaning on your next visit you may only need to re-DL the 1MB blob instead of the whole thing

3. Not every page will need all 3 blobs, you might only need the 2MB blob to load the homepage which means it'll load a little bit quicker. Then you can either load the next blob on the next click, or start downloading it in the background so the next click is nearly instant

4. You can do this not just between pages, but progressively within a single page. Render part of the UI, wait for the 2nd blob, then render the components that need that bit.

I don't think this is correct. Programming languages with support for functional programming are not always pure functional languages. However, functional programming per se is always pure by definition; if you're mutating anything, it's not functional.

(You can have "quasi functional" if you mutate only local variables, such that the black box view of your functions appears pure. Nobody knows whether the map function in (map f list) internally contains a loop or tail recursion.)

Languages which support functional programming and other paradigms are not called functional; it is not correct to call Common Lisp and Scheme functional.

Not only do these have mutation, they have sequencing via strict evaluation: doing one thing that has a side effect, followed by another. Side effects like I/O and mutation are easily obtained and ordered, just like in Fortran or Java.

The only people who would be willing to sign everything and build a web of trust would be a handful of academics, students, and professionals. I wonder if that could act as a gateway.
Yeah, at this point TE is really more of a design studio that happens to make high-end audio equipment (along with other luxury stuff). I do think that, at least when OP-1 was released back in 2011, the target was music pros or borderline professional enthusiasts. Due to the growth of the community around it in the past decade, it's definitely possible it's gravitated less professional and more high-end consumer.
> Would that be the total number of companies that could pay the money reddit wants for API access?

That isn't the issue. Even those who applied for access willing to pay have been ignored -- it was never about paying for access, it is about shutting down apps they don't control.
Same glass of water from Dad here, although it was on weekdays, when I could hardly stand to face another day of school.

I had trouble adapting to an adult sleep schedule from a very early age, and had some embarrassing episodes, as well as weird stuff like slipping into a dry bathtub late at night because I wanted to read a book.

In high school, I began checking out, and my depression was chronic and major. I had a "girlfriend" (who was abusing me) so I stayed up late at night on the phone or visiting her. I was falling asleep and falling behind in classes. My parents were beside themselves. It didn't get any better.
