This doesn't make any sense to me. Stable Rust is forward compatible just as much as shell scripts are. Bash, for example, does introduce things in newer versions and they're near universally ignored.

All of this also excludes that the fact that your shell script will be just as janky in 10 years as it is now. Again, I regularly, regularly see shell scripts from companies that HN fawns over that don't pass shellcheck and have inherent issues that don't occur in better scripting languages, or full programming languages.

"Forward-compat" is not unique, and not a value proposition to me if it inherently means less reliable function.

To be fair to all parties, it doesn't seem unreasonable to have the CEO workshopping answers in a shared document with other team members and counsel during such an event.

To also be fair to all parties, it seems unbelievable such oversight would still result in him making the comments he did.
They've made it very clear they don't care now. But I still remember when it was part of what they advertised about tor. A lot has changed since 2010 in the tor project.
This whole drama is very odd to me and feels like a (very) vocal minority of users incorrectly extrapolating their preferences to those of all Reddit users.

Reddit owns its API. It has every right to price access however they see fit. It is wild to think that will spend $10s of millions to support 3rd party apps. Or to expect that they would acquire third party apps.

I predict Reddit will stick to their guns and that this entire brouhaha will have little to no effect on Reddit's user and engagement metrics over the medium term.

If you're outraged and highly engaged with this controversy, do you think its possible you're in a bubble?
I pay for Reddit Gold. Reddit has brought a lot of value to my life, I don't like seeing ads, and I like the idea of supporting non-ad-based business models.

Definitely. It was a big surprise to me that they went for "giant thing on head with amazing performance" instead of "amazingly light weight thing you can barely feel and on par with best headsets available". I'm sure they could have done the latter with their mobile chips and blown away the Quest line entirely. I still wonder if they will.

Somebody who cares about the acme.sh client specifically would be able to say, but in general it's not necessary that your ACME client has these keys.

What the ACME protocol wants to do is hand over a CSR (Certificate Signing Request), and get back a certificate, and to achieve that it has to explain how you'll prove you're entitled to such a certificate.

Most ACME clients will also make a suitable proof (in at least some cases), and also generate a suitable CSR from first principles, for which they will need to generate a new private key - but that's not a necessary part of the system, and it's certainly not rare to generate your own CSR, either because you must technically, or because your own security processes say strange women, lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government sorry, I mean, that this key is private and shouldn't be on the host running ACME services.
One might want to store legislation as a git repo. But to do that, you'd need pre-1970 timestamps. Git doesn't use string dates.
Why do you think that's a possibility?

People love to say they are going to boycott this and that and I'm sure some do but since they almost never work and this is just a streaming I would think most people are just going to pay for the extra location ($7 or so?)
Spez's response is making me question the integrity of not merely Reddit, but YC as a whole. https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_...

The whole point of YC was to imbue every founder with "do not be evil" in their DNA. Otherwise, it's a cartel.

This is pretty clear-cut case of Huffman not only trying to lie publicly (for no apparent reason, no less!) but then further trying to damage his reputation.

I'm unreasonably upset about this, and should probably step away from computers for a bit. I don't know if I'm getting old and just feeling like "it's the end of an era," or what. But I grew up in a 2008 that was unlike anything on display here.

I thought someone would be on the phone with Huffman trying to convince him that lying publicly about a developer is a bad idea. But if they are, they're not getting the message through.

EDIT: the replies further illustrate the disconnect. I grew up on pg’s essays. You wouldn’t say those things if you merely thought of YC as an investment vehicle.

The fact that people are saying don’t be evil isn’t a big deal is… well, if you’ve ever read I Am Legend, the book (spoiler alert) ends with the main character realizing that he’s in a world of zombies, and that they have their own culture, unique and distinct from his. The zombies aren’t even zombies; they’re people, with their own views. But the culture is so foreign and alien to him that he realizes he’s a minority of one. Am I the only one who cares about don’t be evil?

Huffman isn’t merely a YC alum. He’s the alum. There were no alums before him. And now he blatantly made up a lie, publicly, about a developer, for no apparent reason and no apparent gain. It wasn’t even theoretically going to get him any gain. There seems to be no reason for the lie at all, and it’s hard to imagine something more evil than damaging someone’s reputation like that for no reason (short of doing something to physically harm someone or take away their money/resources). Reputation is everything in hacker culture.
A bit under the radar, but Twitch is having a similar moment with new ad directives which would kill independent streamers. It caused an upset in the community. Twitch backtracks but the damage is already done.
But that's not exactly what happened here. I'm totally with you on mobilizing your users to affect change, but this was asking for hush money instead of enabling Apollo to continue operating?
Yeah, I don't think people truly appreciate how valuable the data collected by mobile apps is for selling to marketers and advertising (which can't be blocked anywhere nearly as easily as it can be via browsers.)

There's a reason everyone pushes you to install their app; they want all that sweet, sweet time/network/location data and the ability to drive traffic to whatever degree they want via notifications.

I believe notifications also allow them to wake their app and collect data at that point in time, which they couldn't ordinarily do because iOS and Android have much more restrictions on background activity?

'Lawyer' is the kind of profession which actually holds its practitioners to a standard, because the system falls apart when they stop behaving honestly.

This wasn't an oopsie-daisies, this was dishonesty, followed by further dishonesty, when they supplied bogus references for these cases.

This is a Chinese CA, I don't think there was a danger of any of us using it, and none of them are here to receive this criticism. Most of your complaints are about the shell script that the Chinese CA is injecting and that's... not really the problem at all. It's amazing that it's not literally a rootkit; that's what I expected when they said a Chinese CA was injecting a shell script that acme.sh was running. You're missing the forest for the trees here.

This doesn't get better if they had injected a better-written script or a Rust program or whatever else. They could still have injected anything, and that's the problem. The people who wrote acme.sh (different people than the Chinese CA), which has the security vulnerability that the Chinese CA exploited, might have some soul-searching to do.
This is one of the most important things I've learned in my career- after a meeting where any kind of requirements are decided upon, just write up a synopsis and email it to all parties and say "Here's what we decided, let me know if I got anything wrong."

99 times out of 100 it's immediately forgotten but there have been a few times when I've been really really glad to have a contemporaneous record of a meeting.
Eukaryotes thrived long on molecules that are now just reaction intermediates
And then run shellcheck because even those of us that painful have this seared into our brains make mistakes.

Or just use a scripting language that eliminates many of these headaches (nushell) or a real programming language.

I get it, I really do. At least now I have nushell for some sanity, but I still find myself constantly writing a shell script and then realizing after a few iterations that I should've just written in nushell/Rust.

As a thought experiment, how many places rolled out acme.sh to prod and didn't bother code reviewing it or running it through shellcheck?

I wouldn't be surprised if every single app shut down after this fiasco. I'm sure it's their fault too, though. Couldn't possibly be the giant corporation who doesn't know how to do basic PR and communications.

Just throwing it out there: I love Reddit, but only via Apollo, so when Apollo shuts down, I’ll probably quit Reddit. What a dumb move for Reddit to blow their best UI like this!
It is hard to tell because in the current political climate, there is such animosity against anybody mentioning human impacts on the 'environment', that someone could just state something obvious, like maybe we should stop polluting so much, and be called a 'woke liberal elitist'.

So is his book Collapse forcing an environmental theory, or are you so against any theory of 'human caused environmental problems', that you can't see past your own bias. It is hard to tell online. I mean, his book was totally about environmental problems, so to criticize it for outlining environmental problems is bit much.

It has been awhile but think the Vikings had more variables, like weather that prevented fishing. And, don't think slave raids negates there were other variables, why can't slave trade and environment both have contributed. So he didn't highlight what you wanted to hear about enough, isn't an argument that slave raids contributed more.
Most of the world has not had any geographic surveying of them. It's likely that there are everywhere. Look only at the US or Europe for proper maps.

There is an alternative to this: It's called nuclear power. But of course, renewable energy nutcases reject that too.

This is why I insult you people and think you are really stupid. Environmentalists regularly come around and demand radical action on climate change, only to undermine the solution at every step of the way and ultimately make the problem worse. They are as bad as climate change deniers.

My nitpick is even more absurd than everyone else's: the name "subwayshed" evokes watersheds, but that's not what this map shows at all! That could describe a map where you mouse over a station, and it colours the rest of the map according to what line from that station will get you there fastest (after whatever changes are necessary). Which would be even more pointless.
As has been mentioned a few times: When Digg fucked up, reddit existed as a growing but small competitor. Reddit has no such competitor.
"While we do understand the concerns of individual developers we are moving forward with them as a community on these changes. As for mentions of acquisitions or valuations of future partnerships we consider those talks private and unfinished until we have something to announce" or some similar corporate bullshit.

It's not an answer I would have liked, but it seems like it would have been far more in character.

Nearly all businesses are profit-driven. My wife owned a medical practice, and while she chose the profession because she wanted to help people, she built a company around it to put food on our table. There's nothing wrong with that.

But optimizing for short-term profit over long-term revenue is just nuts. Apple didn't become a trillion dollar company by focusing on maximizing profit above all else every single quarter.
You're assuming that the current mods are already doing it "remotely well." There are no shortage of cases where people have been banned from a subreddit for ridiculous reasons, myself included (e.g. talking about studies that support safe sleep practices for infants). When Ceddit still worked, it was eye-opening to see how much shadow-censorship was happening, and for the most petty reasons.

The subreddits you mentioned are good examples where domain knowledge is a very desirable trait in a mod. But by and large, it's not necessary for a mod to have deep domain knowledge in order to be able to enforce rules consistently. There's a reason why it's called being a "glorified internet janitor."
A lot of what makes Reddit work is charity on the part of mods, devs, etc.
So many links in that nice little nav bar, except GitHub. Who is your audience if not devs? Where’s the docs? I bounced on the site on mobile. Maybe it’s better on the desktop version. Could the devs of this please add a big “docs” button, code examples, GitHub link etc?

This was such a confusing feature to me. I just looked and my Reddit account is 13 years old, and I've also never bought any of these "rewards" because they seem so empty and useless. The person you're giving it to gets nothing other than some images above their post, so I _know_ that if I spend the money on one it's basically just a donation to Reddit which I'm not keen to do if I get nothing out of it. They also have their "premium" subscription which seems even more useless.

Now, if they had implemented it in a way similar to how Brave did their rewards where people would get some share of the reward (say, 5% of the money?) then I would be way more likely to buy it and would probably also participate a lot more. Imagine if some people could make a living off of Reddit the same way they do off of YouTube or Twitch!
Do you think UNIX epoch offset is different for "the second before the leap second", "the leap second" and the "second after the leap second"? If so, how? If not, then we can't rely on differences between UNIX epoch offsets for measuring intervals can we?

Moreover, if the units you are referring to are "seconds" then the statement "[t]he UNIX timestamp is literally the count of units past the epoch" is also wrong. If not, what are the units here?
Usenet still exists though?

Plus the vast vast majority of reddit content consists of mindless nonsense, or even worse, so it's probably best that USENET didn't continue growing in popularity.

I don't think he would; it's not anywhere near the echo chamber Twitter was when he bought it. He had a huge army of supporters cheering him driving the company into the ground...Reddit in the last year or two has pretty collectively come to despite the hell out of him and his "fans."

I can't remember the last time I saw an /r/all comment thread where Musk was spoken of in anything approaching a positive way. /r/programmerhumor absolutely eviscerated the man almost several times a day, in threads that saw wide visibility, where programmers explained to non-programmer redditors just how dumb the stuff he was doing was.
