I'm also only one datapoint but I won't use Reddit from 30th on. I guess all these big cooperation and some users are overestimating the power of their platform. I (and I know some other people from my inner circle that are not "in tech") left these platforms before and never looked back.

It was the same with Facebook: You want me to use my real name? I'm gone. Never used Facebook again. Specifically in Germany (where I would argue the population values privacy more than in other nations) that was a deal breaker for a lot of them when they started enforcing that policy.

(This example is not about a platform but more of an example of quitting a product because of "bad" behavior) Mobile games getting more and more P2W and have a half-life of ~1 year? Yeah, count me out. Especially with that example I know a lot more people that said "fuck that" and won't touch mobile games with a ten foot pole anymore.

And honestly it will be the same with Reddit. It's not like it's essential. I'll be good without it and I would guess many more people too. The two examples I gave made my life better (less screen time) and the Reddit move will do the same.

As for how it'll play out for the majority of people: I guess we'll see. But looking at Reddits latest track record of bad decisions I would argue it won't be the last one and there is a lot of potential to create a new Digg moment.

Kinda; cars need to decarbonise as well as the grid, so the batteries are still really important even if none end up on the grid for whatever reason.
Why not just use LUA?
Can you tell me what are transactional and broadcast emails?
> The reason for the long and expensive construction has a lot to do with the people opposing the construction! We could build these reactors so much more cheaply and quickly (and more safely!) if we decided to!

This doesn't make sense, the roadblocks have been cleared at that point. Once they started constructing, what opposition is still there?
To me the similarity between those is more about trying to manifest your vision of an ideal life, instead of just experiencing the life you're in
I've always had weekly 1:1s with my manager and I like them. For me it's not about not being able to "manage yourself" but just about keeping an open conversation going. Maybe get some heads-up on priority changes or new directions of the company.

Sometimes they are only 5-10 minutes long but having a long running fixed slot is beneficial to me. If there's something to discuss it's easier to just bring it up there than scheduling a meeting out of the blue which makes everything a bit more formal and people might be wondering what it's about.

On top of that we also have quarterly feedback 1:1s and we usually realize there's not much to discuss as if there's something wrong it would've been discussed at the weekly meeting already. Which seems better than the alternative of having things pile up until some quarterly meeting.
Weirdly, companies don't seem to care about this kind of cost. I don't think I've ever seen "we're going remote first to save costs"?

More likely is the "prestige HQ" which is deliberately made more expensive than it needs to be for status.
so thats what freedom looked like? /s
One thing would be you could go to the movies in your lounge, watching a massive screen. That could be cool.

Edit2: oh, I guess misunderstood "A type that accepts types that generates another type". If you meant to say "A type that accepts (types that generates another type)", so a type constructor that accepts type constructors and not "(A type that accepts types) that generates another type", which is a type constructor.
Oh, yeah, UHT can last for ages on the shelf. But I read it as referring to ordinary milk, in the refrigerator. "When I lived in the UK a pint of milk would last a week or so at most" sounds about right for that.

I personally think there's a big difference in taste, and I don't use UHT unless I really need to, but I'm sure that's partly just snobbery. You're right that it's perfectly OK for most purposes.
While I think your first sentence is true, I think this is a consequence of being human - i.e. it's hard to be an objective observer.

Remember, all these countries were Warsaw Pact countries. And from my limited knowledge of the situation I recall that Russia's attempt to join NATO was basically responded with, "You have to wait your turn" as if they were just another country, not the country that the alliance was formed because of to begin with.

It's kind of like the story of the prodigal son, only instead of a joyous welcome the father tells him to "wait his turn".

It's also occurred to me that things like not allowing Russian athletes to fly their flag at the Olympics must be profoundly humiliating.

I remember happening to see a speech a neo-con made where they called the idea of thinking of countries in terms of international citizens (and therefore the U.S. should behave like a good citizen) "crazy", but the question is, "how else should we act?" It's kind of like thinking of various universities in terms of their sports rivalries, instead of institutions of higher learning working for a common cause.

In conclusion, the observation that critics think in terms of moral polarities applies equally to the criticized, and should be cold comfort.

I guess you could use it to implement an algebra that allows you to build dependent types, but that would be unfit for practical uses.

As a case in point, Haskell has first-class experience for HKTs, and dependent types implementation in haskell is getting hindered by the limits of the language.
I think this is it, an hour a week can be too much in some cases, but never having 1-on-1s can lead to some things deteriorating, depending on the manager. Otherwise trivial issues accumulate and become non-trivial, both sides can get out of the loop etc.
There’s a reason that all the drinks containers that Apple showed in their videos on the Vison headset had closed lids and straws.

You can’t easily drink out of an open topped container whilst wearing a headset, so without highlighting that (minor) issue, they wanted to plant the idea of having a sealed container with a straw on your desk as a solution before you ran into the problem yourself.

> can you imagine a charitable explanation of what may motivate their current actions?

IPO value. This entire scheme, is a last ditch attempt to maximise exit value for the founders. The actions all point in that direction, many fo which are borderline illegal.

Let's break it down. Reddit has had a metoric rise in the past 5 years, adding like 200 million mobile users to their official app. This started in 2018 when the first news of the IPO began. Reddit started heavily advertising.

They initially redesigned the web version, started giving a worse mobile experience and had a massive, intrusive banner that said "try the official app" on the mobile client. So we have a "friendlier" web experince and an aggresive app marketing push.

We now have more users than ever. Should we focus on efficiency, tools for mods etc? Nope, the entire product stack of reddit since 2019 has been releasing Monetasation tools. From badly hidden NFTs as profile pictures, to reddit awards paid with money, to ads hidden as actual content on the front page of the new web and mobile app.

So now we have record users, a new set of money making tools what else can we do to maximise exit value? We reduce 3rd party users, this way even if a fraction come to the app we still have new record user numbers. And we generate as much content as possible, preferably in areas that will be considered growth vectors in teh sale.

So reddit made a ridiculous API pricing plan, with 0 time to implement to essentially kill 3rd parties but not having to do it officially. Other less verifiable events that seem to be happening is that bots have increased, and some non english subs like the french and german communities are having new content generated by badly translating popular reddit posts with AI. This would benefit reddit as more content (even if by bots) is a higher exit price and communities that do not speak english using reddit more would also be seen as a positive by whoever would buy reddit. This is not attributable to reddit, bt if it was, it is straight up fraud. However the timing of the bot activity increasing and the non english subs seeing increased activity directly benefits the IPO plan therefore it is worth mentioning.

In other words, the charitable explanation is that this is the last hurrah in a 5 year plan to make the owners of reddit rich before they off load a website full of bots and angry users to whoever is silly enough to think they can fix this mess.
The predilection of SO moderators to overzealously remove answers seems clearly relevant to the question of whether it’s a good idea to give them the power to remove any answer because it has an AI vibe according to inaccurate AI detection tools.
Does anybody have any more reliable sources?

If you don't know how mechanical watches work, this is a very good article that has been posted before in HN :D https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/
That's a great question. The 3 email categories IMO are the following.

- Transactional: one-time emails, sent through an API on-demand (e.g. password resets, magic links...)

- Automations: Repeatable sequences such as onboarding flows with delays and follow-ups

- Broadcasts: Emails sent to a segment of contacts (e.g. newsletters, changelogs...)
One of the most persistently irritating parts of being deep in this space is people loudly proclaiming what it is that VR is truly missing.

The answer is not only different for different people, but very different for some of them. It's a way for trans people to express their real gender in a way that seriously alleviates their dysphoria, or for people to explore sexuality in a place they are fully equipped to defend themselves in, and discover that their biases or prejudices were weaker than they thought, or outright reaction formations to their real-life environment.

Still others use it as an artistic outlet, a mechanism for connecting to people across the world, a sandbox with which to experiment with and learn certain pieces of technology.

It's been juiced up by Facebook money, sure. It's not purely motivated by that by a long shot. There's a demand and perhaps an oversupply in some respects, but the experiences achievable are legitimately delightful if you know how to look for them. Fantastic escape rooms, beautiful gardens, relaxing rooms, sleepy hideouts, fantasy worlds. This is all happening and has been happening for years.

There are of course serious caveats, such as some people being simply physically unable to tolerate it.

It's a rough piece of technology early in its lifetime and it's got a lot of road to cover, but it's already nailed a level of immersion into an artificial world that nothing else has come even remotely close to - and it's everything else that sucks to some moderate degree and needs to catch up and surpass the norm.
Too bad we don't have a viable replacement for reddit atm or this would have been end of Reddit
> another significant project that uses guile.

That looks like a typical academic project that is overwhelmingly likely to die as soon as the grants run out, what am I missing? Where are the users?

> nix is developed in cpp

Who cares?

> its own (poorly documented) dsl to interact with it

Nix documentation is not by any means ideal and is kind of scattered, but calling it "poor" is a blatant misrepresentation.

> guix is developed in guile and you use guile to interact with it
> this alone implies that you get far more from just learning guile than nix dsl > if all you want to do is package management

Argument by repetition, wonderful.

> as for a one to one technical comparison, it is just a google search away

That is... not good. And when a commenter pointed out its biases and misleading generalizations, the author invited them to go listen to a stream, lol, nope.

> you keep sloganeering that guile is useless outside of guix.

That's because it is, no need to get so defensive about it. It does not detract from its technical qualities! In any case, the goalpost got moved way far from the original "Guile iS tHe OfFiCiAl eXtEnSiOn LaNgUaGe Of ThE gNu PrOjEcT", wouldn't you say?

> forgive me if i dont take your claim at face value

"Guile is for all practical purposes useless outside the Guix ecosystem" is my null hypothesis here and so far I stand by it. "Proving" that would be proving a negative, so I don't intend to even attempt that. It should, however, be fairly easy to disprove if you have data. Show us how learning Guile (or any Lisp that is not Elisp really -- sad!) is likely to be worthwhile for a "normal person" apart from using it for Guix.
"A few trillion dollars" is enough for a global HVDC grid sufficient for global energy demand (why yes, I did do the maths, it's in an old comment of mine somewhere on here), and you previously gave me a link saying a hydrogen pipe was x10 cheaper, and electrolysis doesn't care if its nuclear or PV, and PV is much cheaper than nuclear per MWh when you don't have to add on the storage which you obviously don't in this scenario because that would be double-counting.

And the US already has north-south lines (with a Texas-shaped asterisk), so even without a global grid the "winter?" question is: what's the capacity of those lines and substations, and how much loss are people willing to face when the price at the plant is only 1-2¢/kWh.

No, you’re not alone. I’ve always expected from my managers that they will take my call if I need to speak to them. Likewise, if someone I manage needs to talk about anything, I’ll stop what I’m doing and listen.

I think 1:1s encourage bottling up of problems, with all the damage that causes.

Helping out a fellow human with their immediate need is almost always worth the context switch, IMHO.
They're going to dodge everything. That "AMA" will be nothing more than a PR-fest of non-answers and dancing akin to one tech CEO or another in congressional testimony.
There's no issue with a non-free API, the issue is the pricing they've decided on and the timescale they've given to adopt it. 30 days notice isn't long enough to adopt a new pricing strategy, especially one so unreasonably priced.

> It doesn't require them to be inflicted on all of the internet. And it most definitely doesn't require you to go ahead and redirect a huge chunk of ad income to yourself while "processing" the standard.

I can't quite figure out who or what in particular you are talking about.

If the original topic, Apple/Safari do not charge for private click measurement, and Apple does not have any significant advertising platform for the web.

There are other more controversial uses of the technique - mobile game SDKs used tracking identifiers and other techniques to try to measure conversion and associate it to a persona, which Apple shut down with ATT. Apple added a PCM-like technology at about the same time so that advertisers could get broad metrics on advertising programs and conversion.

This is different/separate from more controversial uses, such as blocking in-app advertising/install conversion metrics and persona building. There, Apple _does_ have some competing interest in terms of the App Store ad platform.

Well, one part of the subreddits say they'll be closed for 24 or 48 hours, others have said they'll be closed until this has been resolved.

Likewise, several major apps (I know of Apollo and RIF) will shut down on the 30th, before the API changes take effect. I'm sure some people will relent and use the official app / website after that, but others will just quit.

I'm not sure yet myself, it'll suddenly make a big gap in my idle mode browsing. I'm sure there'll be other things I can get on with though.
> Not just this, but you couldn't see the product. In a store you can look at the product, see how it feels, try it on, test it out, etc.

This is why I still buy clothes, shoes and sport gears at stores. Returning products takes time and you still don't have what you wanted to buy.

If I buy a new item of the very same model I bought before, that's OK to buy online. Unfortunately companies keep changing models every year.
I don't fall asleep. But just lying in bed, eyes closed, sleepmask on and low Binaural Beats on the ears helps me when i feel a slump. When i set a timer to 12 minutes i usually feel the urge to get up after roughly ten minutes.
I'm paying for:

- Youtube Premium: I travel a lot, often by plane, so downloading songs and videos, often tech-related ones, is a nice thing to have.

- Spotify: Same.

- ChatGPT: I'm still learning a lot about coding and programming, just started to dive into ASP.NET, it helps me a lot.

- Google Photos: I take a lot of pictures, also I like to share them with my friends. In addition, the rediscover aka "look back to this memory" function is lovely.

- Netflix: Also to download movies/series, helps me a lot during travelling.
It should simply be disallowed to allow purchases within an app, product or service. I'm not against high prices, simply against practices that have been optimized to attack weaknesses in the human psyche to extract maximum money.

I'm also against most forms of ads for example.
For anybody interested in the details, here is the last report of the ongoing implementation of dependent types in GHC: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/ghc-dh-weekly-update-6-2023-...
Its more that Google's implementation of the DMCA is broken. They have automated take downs and have a completely broken appeal process. They certainly aren't the only company failing to deal with the DMCA correctly. There are clauses in the DMCA specifically targetted at false claims, if those were enforced we might start to see a change in the system but as is the DMCA is misused too often.
Nobody ever actually wins a flame war, though, right?
Thanks! I might be good to write some content (blog posts) about those different categories and which existing solution could be replaced with your tool.

You do have something covered at https://www.useplunk.com/use-cases but a lot more could be added.
Uhh... protect?
There's an awesome professor in my field, prof Wei Ji Ma, who only accepts invitations to give talks if he is also allowed to give a talk to younger scientists about the story of his life and his own failures, pretty much like this, and with the same objective of combating impostor syndrome. He also has founded a thing called "growing up in science" at his uni where he invites academics specifically to give the same kind of talk so that PhD students can relate.
Last time I was looking into it, the DMCA required that the subject was taken down _before_ you did the verification of the claim. So the DMCA basically is required to be an automatic process.
I am with you. I don't understand what 1:1s are for in a well-functioning team, where information flows freely. Or in a dysfunctional team, for that matter — dysfunctions can, and probably should, be addressed collectively.
You say that, but I can take an SSD out of its wrapper, fit it to a PC, put an Ubuntu USB stick in, and have a fully-functioning machine in five minutes without actually having to interact with it in any way.

What else can you recommend that does that?
No-no, pushing people too hard leads to dumber, less efficient solutions all the time.

One needs to procrastinate just a bit to do smart things.
I had good experiences with them (assuming a good manager of course). I also like to write though and it helps me to collect my thoughts and summarize what I have done. Also, the meeting was only 15 mins usually.

This is not really true. Here in the UK we have been building Hinkey C and no review/protest/faff has been permitted. I am not sure the US could do that because you have a constitution, where as in the UK the law is whatever parliament says. The reactor is still years behind schedule and over budget. And even when it was on-budget, it was hideously expensive.

If people still want nuclear, that is fine. But we have to be realistic and accept that it will take twice as much and cost a lot of money. Pretending otherwise just leads to bad decisions and worsens opposition in the long run.
