HN is like a subreddit anyway. There are subreddits that good enough and worth it , but many of the mainstream ones are destroyed by politics. The remaining ones are still one of the best places on the net though
Not the person you asked, but I just opened it on Firefox on Mac. That website is _blazing fast_. It opened in a fraction of a second. Really good job!
"De-influencing" is what the subculture calls itself. It's stated goal is to compensate for the influencing by influencing you in the opposite direction, by showing you the product without the glamor.

The creators are very aware that they're also influencers.
Lemmy is falling over with less than 100k users. How are they magically going to handle 5x, 10x, 100x? The platform is maybe interesting, but the devs need to own up to the fact that they dont have a scaling story -- written in rust is not a valid answer. Instances are already deciding not to federate, theres no network-wide search, signup flows sound ridiculous (pick server and write an essay? yah no), how do i move servers and what happens when an instance disappears?

In the one of the first big Apollo threads, one of the devs was spamming Lemmy throughout the discussion as the next great reddit replacement: easy, federated, more performant than reddit. I guess he almost got 1 out of 3 correct.
I'm the CTO of Mintlify - we help other startups create their developer-facing documentation. We've been working in the documentation space for a little over a year now and I spend a lot of time thinking about documentation. I completely agree here.

Documentation is such a hard problem to "solve" if you're a fast-moving startup. You need a mixture of creating a documentation-first culture and acknowledging that documentation is difficult to maintain. Ultimately you end up creating processes to help people document their intent, decisions and the mission critical information.

There is also such a large range of types of documentation - varying scale from internal to external and technical to non-technical.

We started by creating https://writer.mintlify.com/ which really resonated with developers because it made it easier to write documentation, but it only helped generate documentation that was highly technical and close to the code. We decided to stay in the documentation space but try another vector and so now we're taking a crack at public-facing documentation - which in my opinion is a different can of worms than internal documentation. However as I'm building and growing my startup and I find myself continuously playing whack-a-mole and I definitely hope that we can build the foundation and expand to make it easier to maintain all different types of documentation.
My father is an extensive Perl user, which still is somewhat of a mystery to me. But it seems to be a language very much suited for IT related tasks.
Mediterranean Alcohol-Drinking Patterns and All-Cause Mortality
Yeah, as sibling comment says: the "US" as a a whole has no real interest in Cuba either way, other than a general Monroe Doctrine one. But there are enough Floridians who want to re-litigate the revolution, that feel really strongly about it, and they get to control US discourse on the subject. Because nobody else cares.
Try it. It's fun.
It never had the extent of CPAN, and that makes a big difference.
It is not that clear. AVIF (and WebP) seems to be performing worse than JPEG at qualities above 90. That is likely 30-40 % of all the images in the internet. Why would these users want to send more bytes of AVIF than they use for JPEG today to maintain their quality choice? They would also lose lightweight decoding and progressive viewing while doing that.
So, skip over presented facts, use some sentence template which only insults and think you do something wise and rational ? I don't think HN was meant that way...

Or maybe you possess some hidden knowledge about Perl ? Some NASA backdoors ? RCE's ? Tell us if you know !
> how my comments suggest I'm "rail[ing] against" something

Sorry, clarified. Spez wanted something to attack.
Almost 30 years ago, that's insane to think about.

> Your compensation will include meaningful equity ownership.

I wonder to what that turned out today...
From the point of view of security, I rather have UNIX userspace stuff being coded in Perl than C.
The criticism is that the Python team will deprecate and remove functionality as it's not needed? Boy, you're gonna hate PEP-594.

Also Python 2->3 transition was a one-time thing that developers had over a decade to perform, it may have been painful for some but saying it's a random thing that happens "every few years" is a bit dishonest.

Mastodon grew from earlier tools (ActivityPub, GNU Social, StatusNet) dating to the early aughts.

I'd joined in 2016, kicked tyres for a bit, and increased my own usage around 2018. By the time Twitter's October Revolution arrived in 2022, the platform was sufficiently well-developed to both accommodate a substantial new influx and appeal to at least some of those new participants.

And Mastodon and the Fediverse had seen previous waves of adoption, often led by drama, dissatisfaction, or shutdowns at or of other networks (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc.).

What tends to occur is that systems evolve and develop over time, as do the communities making use of them. It's less that there's One Big Event than there are a succession of smaller ones ... until a tipping point is reached.

Where the Fediverse is in terms of the long slow implosions of Twitter and Reddit remains to be seen, but don't discount long-simmering discontent and the emergence of new options. As a podcast noted recently: even power users of Twitter refer to the service as "Hellsite", and that's a very unstable situation. People remain out of inertia and lack of alternatives, not from some deep and abiding love of the service. Reddit increasingly seems to be in a similar place.
RIP Ruby.
Well obiously there is not much left to see on the website

The worst is that reddit search is so bad that they make it impossible to find an alternative subreddit. I disagree with the whole "strike" idea, but reddit is really a terribly terribly ran website
> How about error handling?

This is a very general question, so I have to give a general answer.

Application-level errors are expected to be thrown as exceptions. Unknown exceptions will result in a 500, as usual, in particular to not leak any sensitive data. A FinishRequestException can be thrown to show a different response; it tells the framework: Act as if the handler returned this object. Errors in the incoming JSON (syntax errors as well as validation errors / mismatched structure) are reported to the client as 400, with validation messages and offending field paths included.

Feel free to ask a more specific question, otherwise it's hard to tell what you are referring to.

> How about security?

This was not a focus for the first version. You can use servlet filters, but that's going to be like driving a screw with a hammer. The next version is intended to have framework-level filters that have access to higher level information than servlet filters, such as the matched route.

Low-level security, such as resistance against malformed syntax in the HTTP request is the job of the servlet container.

> This is something I would never write like this. get(0) is a big no-no, and this style also makes it hard to follow what's happening (what parameters / arguments there are), because the URL pattern is not next to this.

This is something I'm working on to find a good way to express in code. Mostly, the basic idea is that the URL pattern is next to that code, because the two are tied to each other anyway. Note that using a String-named field in the URL is better for readability, but just as likely to break when the code is changed.
The problem with trying to build a samizdat internet in the West is that the corporate alternatives are OK enough for most people most of the time. That basically takes away the drive for alternatives.
> The users have nothing to lose

Reddit users have Reddit to lose. A site that gives them hours of entertainment, allows them to access support groups, find out tips and tricks, get advice, and much more. It'll cost tens of millions a month to host another. Who has that?

VCs will get their money one way or another. Either they get their way with this and monetise users who previously were not monetised. Or they make profit other ways.

> and burning the 3rd party moderation

This here shows how out of touch you are with the reality of things. Third party moderation tools are staying. They're beneficial to Reddit, of course they're going to keep giving them free access.
I don't know... I used to use perl as my "default scripting language" over a decade ago. Once I was required to learn python for a new job I had no need to look back.
I never realized how fast the web is today with no ads, esp. on mobile! I am never going back, ads are cancer for me, this is not how I roll
One of the very few people whom it's not worth shedding tears over. The sheer destruction Berlusconi brought upon his country and democracy at large is unimaginable.

Berlusconi was the pioneer of modern populism, of all of it. Corruption, embezzlement, buying up or otherwise controlling media for manipulating or influencing coverage, being involved in so many scandals that it became completely impossible to track their progress or to discuss/demand consequences... you name it, Berlusconi invented it.

(Presumably) having sex with (close to) underage women and girls and having extramarital affairs in general was just the cherry on the cake (the Bunga Bunga affair).

But it will die without it, right?
yes it was taboo in the media and even on hacker news. if you mentioned it then you were literally laura ingraham
Additionally it can be seen as a safer C, as it gives access to most UNIX capabilities and C standard library, without the memory corruption gotchas.
Ahhhh sure, no worries!

Wow, this is surprising.
From what I gathered, since this link is behind a paywall, he had leukemia.
At this point I wouldn’t trust anything he says also, we’ve heard them say that time and time again with no real/good changes so I have no clue why we’d expect it now.

It’s similar to how the API is limited compared to what the official app can do and lacks many basic features (streaming or callbacks) that are needed to avoid polling it. They’ve said before that if they started charging there would be improvements to the API. Where are they? Are developers supposed to take them on faith/trust? I’m pretty sure Reddit has burned what little of that they have left.
FAAD2 is in non-free repositories; for open source, it presents a problem with distribution outside of freeworld.

Neither Opus nor mp3 have this problem. So to maximize compatibility, mp3 is still the best choice, due to the attitude to Opus and other free codecs that Apple has.
First of all you are assuming that the laws themselves are obeyed by the government in the Netherlands. They are not. All of the written guidelines are simply ignored. No one checks that they obey them and no one can getting any consequences applied to the violation of them.

The Dutch government is in a race to the bottom with respect to human rights over the last 20 years. It started around 2005, 4x years ago what was called the IRT affaire scandal in which the government themselves had become the biggest drug imported in Europe.

After then was discovered and cause a media fallout, 4 years later they started again but using a new approach in which they spread the blame and make it even harder to become accountable. In 2006, the councils started signing documents like the "Integrated approach to dealing with hennep plantations" in which they centralized the control of the intelligence, but spread the blame and the actions associated with this across the police, the council, the tax department and now there are about 9 partners or so.

This became so successful in their eyes that they formalized this at the end of 2008 and formed the RIEC, which stands for regional information and expertise centrum, which is an intelligence agency that is formed with a human representative so you cannot legally take this organisation to court under Dutch law and this organization does it's dirty work through it's parters, the police, council, tax department etc.

In addition, they expanded the scope of what they do. They no longer just find evidence and convict. Now they are able to "Interfere" with who they claim is involved with organised crime. And they are no limits to what interference means and there's no evidence required to do this, simple what's called "A reasonable suspicion". i.e. nothing.

Then in 2020 they changed to the law so that any one that works in a job that has an obligation to secrecy cannot be found guilty of perjury. They example they came at the time was "For example, a lawyer has an obligation to secrecy for his client". However, that was just a smoke screen. What they did was make it so that everyone in government now can lie in court under oath and not be prosecuted. Including prosecutors themselves. And if you don't believe this I've seen a document written by the attorney general in which he quite plainly states that a prosecutor cannnot be found guilty of perjury.

And believe me, even in places like the UK of the US prosecutors can be found guilty of obstruction of justice. Not in the Netherlands.

By allowing prosecutors and any government official to lie in court, they have effectively simply made all of the court proceedings in the Netherlands be a shame. As there is zero integrity. Clearly this also includes the international criminal court. It's located in the Netherlands after all.
Yeah definitely recommend Kherson and its 2023 spring flooding. Commuting to work by boat Venice’s style and big free surprise washing of entire neighborhoods. What a normal and friendly place!
The general joke about Perl is that it's "write-only". When I wrote POPFile I spent a lot of time ensuring that the code was readable and maintainable. I hope it's still understandable: https://github.com/jgrahamc/popfile/blob/trunk/engine/Classi...
OpenJDK 17 updates on Android 14
I'm a very attached reddit user and I have no idea what they could be doing with 2000 employees. I'm honestly shocked.

The development they've done in the past 5 years could have been done with like 50-100 people, including keeping all the SRE going. Insane.
Aren't politicians with ties to the mafia quite common in Italy?
If Discord tacks on a layer of forum-like discussions besides the chat... It might take over a chunk of current reddit-focused communities.

At least for me, personally, that would supply the only thing I still use Reddit for, some of my hobbies have communities on Reddit + Discord and I participate in both, if Discord provided a discussion board to allow a more asynchronous communication I would ditch Reddit completely.
Improving HTTPS on Private Networks
While in the service I once slept on my pile of gear in front of the ticket counter desk and awoke to people in line behind me.
Deprecation doesn't really mean that your script is broken or going to break anytime soon. unittest.UnitTest.assertEquals() has been deprecated since 2011-02 (Python 3.2) and is set to be actually removed 2023-10 (Python 3.12).
Theoretically no, practically yes.

You basically need people willing to donate lots of their time to read new on a specific subreddit constantly (there is a reason (in a consequentialist sense) mods tend to enforce their opinion on every post, it's cause they spend hours reading every single one already, and the kind of person willing to do that probably has some (obsessive) opinions).

There are some subreddits where you can be a mod and you get pinged and you make decision, and so you can spend your time doing other things and still help, but they are very small. And there are some tools that let you take the "and I get pinged and I make a decision" up to the larger subreddit scale, and tools which make reading new easier to do... these are the tools reddit is going to get rid of / make pay only.

So yea, it's going to be even harder to find some poor schmuck with no life willing to donate a bunch of their free time to create high quality subreddits that comply with the admin's rules (which is actually what a lot of "do whatever you want" mods end up spending most of their time dealing with). And the people they do find are going to have even stronger personal influences on subreddits than the current ones do.
The nationalization of private property wouldn’t have been a problem if it was just US property. Many countries make it difficult/impossible for foreigners to own land.

The problem was that they did it to their own citizens, resulting in many of them becoming the Cubans in Florida.

BTW, labeling them “ex-Cubans” is a good way to piss them off (maybe that is your intention). Many see themselves as Cubans in asylum just waiting for the regime to fall and for their family homes/businesses to be returned.
You forgot buying judges and (financial) police officers
The trouble with having your own personal prostitution harem is that eventually it turns out that some of the girls are (a) under 18 and (b) coerced. Berlusconi was his own Epstein, and that is what ultimately did him in rather than any of the other misconduct.

Interesting I am not able to focus on these images. Looking at them makes my eyes pop around until I have to look away.
Perl is the undisputed god of text processing and manipulation. Most of the "IT related tasks" are essentially "Get the output, understand what it means, and act upon it", which makes Perl a perfect fit for the situation.

You can convert an IP to its hex representation and change a symlink in one line. That's a superpower.
For sure: imagine the mind games all the time, with everyone in and outside your family, just because they're targeting your humongous wealth.
Yes, but actually scrapping it is a hard work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36254485.
Of course you get a tax "break" - the rules aren't so obscene that the rule-writers make money on your losses. If you think losing so much money you pay no tax is a good outcome for you, that's fine. Would we all have such a positive attitude to our losses.

Other than that, I'm struggling to make out what you're saying. It once again doesn't seem related to what I'm saying.
I also went with kbin but I gotta say writing an essay to join someone's privately hosted service isn't a bad idea. This is what it was like when people were hosting servers on their personal phone lines.

If we want the internet to be federated, by the people, for the people yada yada, then this is what we'll have to get used to again. Big corps took it away for a while but do we really want their future?
What was it that you open sourced for Go? I'd like to take a look at it.
I wonder who got hired.
> Reddit is definitely a YC story, and so is HN. But Reddit isn't HN's story. It's one of many.

HN and Reddit are deeply intertwined at multiple levels. There's a cultural connection ("this site is turning into reddit" is a decade+-old meme that just can't die). There's a historical legacy one - HN came about because pg wanted to recreate the kind of culture Reddit had in its first two years, while the latter kept evolving past niche startup/tech content. There's a technological one - Reddit started as a Lisp success story (written/prototyped in Common Lisp, subsequently rewritten in Python), HN is written in pg's own Lisp dialect, Arc.

For better or worse, Reddit is part of HN's DNA. It's not just accidental phenotype similarity (both being link aggregation/commentary boards with up/down-voting karma mechanism) - HN is Reddit's younger sibling.

> Except the frontpage is filled with multiple Reddit stories with repetition of the same comments.

This is temporary. Reddit is going through a critical moment right now, but the amount of Reddit stories should start to decay in the next couple days or weeks (unless Reddit manages to turn it into a perpetual high-intensity crisis).
London's Jubilee line extension had platform doors since it was opened in December 1999, but the upgrade to automatic train operation wasn't completed until 2011.

So for a long time, drivers had to manually stop the train at alignment points. This did cause occasional delays and problems, but it wasn't unworkable. As a passenger you did sometimes notice that the train doors weren't aligned perfectly with the platform doors. Now days, of course, it stops perfectly every time.
If you listen to the war stories, a large number of other successful tech companies or products like Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, the original iPhone, the original Blackberry, the post-iPhone Android, etc. would nove have been successes if everyone had strictly done their 9-5, Mo-Fr.

Success often means racing to get to market with significant lead over your competitors who are also working on solving the same problems you are and are most likely not sticking to the 9-5, mo-fr schedule either. Which is why probably not many market successes came out of Europe where everyone works 40h tops, unless it's their own company/passion project.

I was blown away by how many people in the original iPhone team claimed lost their marriages due to spending so much time grinding to iron out all the last minute issues and get the phone out the door on time. Jensen Huang said in the beginning their team was iterating to ship a new GPU design every 6 months with a tiny team. I bet everything I own they were not doing only 40h weeks back then.

I'm not endorsing this practice, which is why I don't work in start-ups, but succes in this racket for early stage start-ups was often correlated with burning the midnight oil and it seems like a lot of people were willing to make the sacrifice for enough equity in their mission to "change the world" and "make it".
