We looked into this [1] and conclude:

- throttling is a non-issue on Xeon Gold/Platinum;

- AVX-512 startup overhead can hurt on Skylake, but AVX-512 is still a net win for data sizes >= 100 KiB.

- Startup overhead is a non-issue on Icelake and AMD Zen4.

Kyle Zappitell of bash gg On The Future of Gaming
I think the future of social media is games. I think games offer a more intimate way of interacting with people that’s less performative, and I think that’s ultimately better for mental health. So I think there’s a big boost there. I also think that people in general benefit from playing.
Those threads were at the top of /r/worldnews for months. Each week the old one would be deleted and a new one posted. Everyone has seen them. Why are people pretending they weren't there? Because no one is going to admit they supported this or were the ones that looked the other way. Not even to themselves - they're the heroes of their own story. I understand the situation and why I'm downvoted - I wouldn't have posted it if I cared about HN points. I would feel worse if I hadn't made this post.
We don’t have posts. It’s quite simple.

Unlogged people can’t see anything. The app is pretty much useless, unless you have an account.
Agreed, USD continues to be the currency of the choice for money laundering.

Remember we're talking about a company that can't even make a functioning text input in their new UI.
The origin story matters because we had the authoritarian bureaucrats who helped create the virus AND LIED ABOUT IT running the virus response in this country and they took all of their new powers and produced one of the highest per capita death rates from the virus in a so-called advanced country.

It looks a lot worse than suspicious.
I'd think that such an encoding would waste encoding space on stroke combinations that are not valid, and therefore not be more compact than Unicode in practice.

I think that the TRON encoding supports vector graphics in addition to all Chinese, Japanese and Korean Han/Hanja/Kanji characters as separate code points.
The vector encoding is for spelling of names (family names and places) that you wouldn't find in dictionaries.

I've seen UseNet die, so I'm not so sure. What Reddit does (and UseNet before it) is really niche. There aren't as many people on Reddit as there are on Facebook and Reddit isn't as entangled with people's 'real' life as much as social media is.
People just got bored and left after social media was invented, because it was more interesting.

That and Lowtax and the admins were mainly interested in making the users fight each other for content (eg Helldump); Lowtax then moved onto marrying and abusing various different wives then claiming they ghosted him when they moved out in the middle of the night.
> A 'real company' wouldn't have a free-for-all API to allow third parties to leach their ad revenue.

Or they might have realised that third parties are crucial to their success (they have the stats, they know what % of traffic, commenters, power users, etc. are using third-party apps) and instead added more constraints around the API, like also serving ads (like Telegram), lower rate limits for unauthenticated users, forcing oauth etc. Instead of going the nuclear path of making any third party downright unviable and thus forcing them to shutdown.
I think they were indeed being sarcastic or satirical.

There is no desctructuring in Java, as mentioned in JEP 441 (for some "future version" of the language).

Or maybe I'm missing something in which case would you point me to a JEP or an article about destructuring in Java?

EDIT: nevermind, I should have checked JEP 440, which is about destructuring record patterns...

Aside from that, immutable / readonly collections and null safety are two big reasons for Kotlin or Scala.

Well, keep in mind that every yokel with a PS4/5 or Xbox plays Fifa and CoD etc now. Tonnes of people have a switch/had a DS etc.

I remember gaming even like early-mid 2000s was a "geeky/nerdy" thing to do. Now everyone(ish) plays games. Browsing the web was a geeky thing to do & tbh I kind of miss how the Internet was without the masses of the general population; the Internet has changed.

But the same thing will happen to VR, Valve/HTC and Facebook created a burgeoning market that Apple is now trying to capitalise on and "bring to the masses hurr durr".

But VR/AR will be very big eventually, imo. Once prices get down to a mid-flagship phone level, once hardware is lightweight and small like a pair of glasses, easy & convenient to set up and more non-gaming applications that make sense for AR/VR are available it will take off. Maybe not with older gens but that's been true for all of history.
If you show an example i can either try to explain why it is the way it is or i can agree with you that it is unreasonable.

I can not say anything useful about a hypothetical scenario you make up. Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't, we don't know.
The fatigue in the case of the quest will be because there is no eye tracking, so you constantly have to turn your head to get good focus (Only the center of the screen is fully rendered), the displays are of poor quality in terms of color accuracy, screen door effect and resolution, and the lenses have a very small sweet spot. In addition your eyes have to have one of three specific IPD measurements, otherwise you are by default not in the sweet spot.

Thanks for noticing the implications.

Your great-grandkids would find utility, as would their children's children. It's their perspective that matters for utility, not yours.

The fun thing is people talk log utility but forget there's an exponential process (children) that can follow until the lineage dies out.

Agreed it gets pissed away. Which means the children process doesn't have to be particularly exponential to make log utility become linear looking for all practical values when one includes descendants.

Not from the US, but i don't see how it was ever a "taboo". The general gist was "we don't know" or "unlikely". However, what i did see on Social Media, was a bunch of nutjobs pushing their nonsense about "deep state", "population control" and so on.
TikTok envy existed long before Musk bought Twitter.
I just wasted a couple of days on a coding test for an agency, where the actual client job is in the US, and turns out to require US hours (10 timezones away). There are a lot of tells that either the 'client' is actually a US-based remote worker, or someone from the agency, working at least this job remotely and outsourcing the actual work, eg the only 'interview' slots are at lunch time, pitiful rates, etc (but I need any work now).

I'm guessing this is quite a common scam.
I personally think reddit is an example of an actual bad redesign, so I'm not saying this is true for all redesigns. I do however think it was true for Fark, at least from how I remember it.

With that said, I don't think old.reddit is that good either unless you only want to read text-only posts, and it's pretty much unusable on mobile.

I don't think it's the viability itself. The many options also play a role: back at the digg exodus reddit was the only alternative to a large extend or at least the only alternative most people were aware of.
But a new platform technology paradigm entirely might be better (decentralized).

There are viable alternatives, but the average user simply does not care. And by average user I mean someone who literally doesn't bother to use the official reddit client.
I wonder, would TikTok have been the same if another stupid acquisition wouldn't have killed Vine?
Hi Ivan!

From my exprience there are multiple reasons
- The main one: I've learned tons from reading code. The ability to jump into code that does X to see how it's implemented is worth a lot to me. This is something I love about the jvm ecosystem which is unfortunately not present in many other languages.
- Many libraries/frameworks (Spring Data comes to mind) provide very leaky abstractions. Understanding how the underlying technology is used can make a big difference.
- Address questions when the documentation is not clear enough.
- And last: to discover bugs in libraries. This is not common, but it happens.
1000 calls isn't much when basic actions such as an upvote/downvote are an individual API call, and comments are heavily paginated.
All the unofficial apps are shutting down
You can actually use the bottom of a ceramic mug as a whetstone to sharpen knives if you're dedicated enough!
Hang on ... you left off geocities. The internet is not complete without it.
AFAIK quite a bit of communities recently started being active in kbin but it's pretty quiet still.
For M5 maybe
I think most people aren't aware that during the digg exodus there were also not that many alternatives or at least not that many alternatives people were aware of, so that played a major role because it was a very easy choice when there were not that many choices.
But I also think a new technological paradigm for social media is needed entirely (decentralized).

Web forms!

Sites were no longer a collection of documents. Instead there was sever driven iteractivity via forms and CGI.

After Web 2.0 we were supposed to move onto 3.0 the Semantic Web. But it never cought on. Instead JavaScript, AJAX and SPA's exploded resulting in increased siloing and centralization.

Later, when everyone forgot that the Semantic Web was 3.0, crypto bros appropriated that term for their NFT dystopia.
So...they're just counting in comments? That just seems ridiculous.

Also what sort of "get" is that? They're counting, there's no game to it. Of course they're going to reach Y*0.

Gets made sense when they were chan related, your random post id having so many 0s or identical numbers.

And since RISC-V allows for extensions, all bets are off regarding successful deployments being extension free.

Just like many open core products that really need the full deal for being usable in a proper way.

Expecting otherwise is whishful thinking, or academia/maker community focus.

They probably NEED to show the investors that Reddit can make money. So it might be a win or bust moment for them.
Yeah this is why I love literate programming. Being able to read a program with "narration" is so much nicer than just reading documentation piecemeal. Maintaining literate programs though is a quite difficult because you have to figure out where new code or changes fit in the overall narrative. I have a scraper I wrote in literate style and I only have to change it yearly. Each year I forget what I wrote and then I reread the program and make the necessary changes.
Well, in the office most people can slack off, but can't work for two employers at once, or more - that will surface way too quickly. So an additional incentive is added.

What’s wrong? How is this worse than influencer culture? At its worst it’s as bad. But it actually can be better. There’s nothing wrong with everyone buying less crap they don’t need.
Oh! Thanks for that!
It's true that the lack of choices back then (other that spezzit) contributed majorly to the migration. But I also think a new paradigm entirely is needed for social media after the fiasco of all the centralized ones, decentralized social media.
In the US you generally don’t want to stay at any hotel that lets you book a few hours.
I think it depends on who the redesign is for.

If it's for the customers, I don't see any reason to think it would. I would even expect it to be reverted if hated.

If it's for the devs (so they can do busy work and get a promotion), I think it is a sign of weak leadership and a harbinger of eventual doom, these are generally hated but ultimately tolerated.

If it's for the shareholders, I think these are the redesigns the really kill websites.

"enshittification" is the name for this concept that results in this behavior that we see.

Problem with documentation is that there are a lot of uses for documentation. It can be a reference, it can describe the architecture, it can do many things. Probably a good idea to figure out what the intent is first to find a good form.

Some of my stuff is pretty sprawling, I've started integrating the documentation with the code and basically use readme.md's littered in the code as sign-posts to let you navigate it more quickly. The intent of that documentation is pretty clear, and the shape follows logically.

e.g. https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/tree/ma...
I don't believe the main reason for suppression (insofar as that happened) and ridicule of the lab leak theory was a reasoned evaluation of any negative consequences. Rather, it became a partisan issue, and instead of being seen as an independent hypothesis that one should evaluate on its own merits, it became part of a whole package contentious issues (masks, vaccines, ivermectin, ...) that divided people along party lines. That the lab-leak hypothesis was pushed by the conspiracy crowd of course did not help.
You would only use @SpringBootTest at the top of the testing pyramid.

Spring Boot provides "test slices", so you'd also be using @DataJpaTest or @WebMvcTest, which run a lot faster, as they don't boot the entire application.
It pains me to say it, but I think you're right. Reddit for most normies is just another app to consume memes but with comments. I don't think Reddit wants to continue focusing on comments and longer form content. The only advantage to them to keep comments is higher pageviews and ads. The niche communities are starting to go back to their own platforms or Discord.

Anecdotally, I've seen more and more comments that remind me of Facebook, a platform I deleted my account for 8 or 9 years ago. I left FB to get away from the brainrot and if Reddit is bringing in more and more of these users, I'd rather go somewhere else.

I've added Reddit.com to my Ublock list and am removing Apollo from my home screen. If Reddit doesn't turn this around, I'll be uninstalling at the end of the month. I don't have high hopes.
Minimal cross-platform standalone C headers
Here's a write-up from the Apollo app developer: https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_ca...

Some key takeaways:

> Apollo made 7 billion requests last month, which would put it at about 1.7 million dollars per month, or 20 million US dollars per year. Even if I only kept subscription users, the average Apollo user uses 344 requests per day, which would cost $2.50 per month, which is over double what the subscription currently costs, so I'd be in the red every month.

> I'm deeply disappointed in this price. Reddit iterated that the price would be A) reasonable and based in reality, and B) they would not operate like Twitter. Twitter's pricing was publicly ridiculed for its obscene price of $42,000 for 50 million tweets. Reddit's is still $12,000. For reference, I pay Imgur (a site similar to Reddit in user base and media) $166 for the same 50 million API calls.

> For Apollo, the average user uses 344 requests daily, or 10.6K monthly. With the proposed API pricing, the average user in Apollo would cost $2.50, which is is 20x higher than a generous estimate of what each users brings Reddit in revenue.
They locked it instead of going private, but I think it has the same effect
Not based on anything I can verify, but my feeling is that when a company gets to a certain size and becomes high profile, it will attract certain types of employees as well. The more high profile, the more a UI/UX department will want to put their stamp on it. Instead of looking at what would make the product more user friendly and accessible, they'll be attracted to the shiny new things that they can do, simply because they can. The little nuances that are present in the old are allowed to fester until all of them combined lead to a general view that the whole thing is crap. Instead of doing small incremental improvements, they'll convince everybody (up to c-level) that a complete overhaul is the only way to move forward. This usually tends to happen in an echo chamber, where everybody who doesn't have the same vision of grandeur is excluded as part of the conversation. That, combined with business goals around profitability, is a dangerous thing to happen, and from my experience usually ends up in tears.

But hey, I like boring things ;-)
That's really impressive. This workflow in particular speaks of major potential:

It looks to me there's a tradeoff between how much SD changes the input, and how temporally coherent it is.
Maybe you’re confusing an A100 for something like an RTX 4090?

No one is using an A100 for gaming. They’re > $10k. They don’t even have video out. They’re also actually slower for most gaming and related tasks - the RTX 4090 is juiced to the gills power and heat be damned all to push frames as fast as possible. The A100 is heavily optimized for dense datacenter applications where power and heat are among the top concerns.

They also have up to 80GB of RAM, and the RTX 4090 has 24GB which is a ways away from “an order of magnitude” less memory when the M2 Ultra supports a max of 192GB of unified memory.
I believe that these 'nutjobs' were promoted to the forefront of popular discussion for purposes of sensationalism and to discredit more careful dissenting voices by association.

In many ways, it makes sense to try to get the entire population on board with a single narrative, in order to have a coherent response to an emerging situation. On the other hand, it opens the doors to corruption by leaving those in charge with no credible voices willing to criticize or draw attention to the holes in that narrative.
Which is a damn shame, because discord is an unsearchable walled garden.

I really, really don't hope much of reddit moves to discord, it would be a disaster for the usability of search engines.

Shouldn't have made an example in the if-statement as it is mostly useless there. But triple ! is very common to negate-and-convert a possibly falsy statement (undefined, null, false/true):

const x: boolean | undefined | null = getValue();
const not_x: boolean = !!!y

I added TS type annotation for clarity, although could be inferred if `getValue` is typed accordingly.
Business constraints should be at the server layer (eg api constraints), not the db layer.

You want the name to be max 200 characters, the birth year to be minimum 1900, and the email address to not contain the domain name hotmail.com? Don’t do all this at the db layer! What if you want some users to have different constraints, eg selectively disable some of them?
