"Dislike both={Google,Reddit}" would be my interpretation here.
Yeah I find it baffling that they didn't just do this
Agreed. The tech world keeps facing this problem, where to justify the valuations that companies end up getting, they need to keep trying to "take over the world". Sometimes it works, and we get stuff like youtube migrating away from just viral videos and video hosting, into supporting an ecosystem of content creators. But so many times it's just wasteful money and effort.
Speaking for yourself, what kind of workloads have you planned on running on ROCm when your machine is built?
A lot of my day job work is self directed because our managers expect a lot out of us but also leave us alone to do the work (amazing right?) but message received.

Let's take one not related to software at all! I turned a shed into an office over the course of many months: https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1333866090573811723. I wanted to give up and burn it down at some points, but I powered through and ended up with the perfect shedquarters!

I also did a podcast many years ago that was hard for me to produce, but I powered through until I felt like it had reached its natural conclusion: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI72dgeNJtzr2Hd6Uscin....

I created a course teaching college students financial accounting that's made over 100k in the 5 or 6 years it's been live (http://acct229.com). That was a freakin grind that I thought about quitting a lot.

I also started doing tech YouTube videos recently and each one is a tiny exercise in finishing (and it feels great to ship!): https://www.youtube.com/@aarondfrancis/videos?view=0&sort=p&...

I wrote and released an open source package called Sidecar (https://github.com/hammerstonedev/sidecar) for managing Lambda functions from Laravel. That led to me speaking at Laracon Online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rq-yHAwYjQ) and also to being asked to produce a course for Laracasts (https://youtu.be/0Rq-yHAwYjQ?t=11759). Speaking at the first Laracon led to speaking at the second Laracon Online (https://youtu.be/f4QShF42c6E?t=21744). Both of these led to me being profiled by GitHub's ReadME project at https://github.com/readme/stories/aaron-francis. (The shedquarters is featured here!)

That interview led to another piece called "Publishing your work increases your luck" at https://github.com/readme/guides/publishing-your-work. I gave a talk on that article at GitHub Universe. That article led to... this article. And here we are!

Each of these things have 1) felt awesome to release and 2) directly increased my luck, my bank account, or led to the next thing.

Hope those examples hit home a little harder!
As a tip, if you just need to read the content from the search result then they seem to be commonly available in the wayback machine:

It does mean you need to cut-n-paste the Reddit url there, but it's been working for the content I needed to look into yesterday.
Is it lucky or was that situation an anomaly? Some people are unhinged but they are also keyboard warriors. I doubt even the unhinged redditors are going to go out and start assaulting people over this.
Thanks for the kind words! Technically it's nothing to write home about. It's a Frankenstein's monster combination of vanilla CSS/JS stitched together with whatever random third-party libraries I could find online. I would not recommend looking under the hood :)
What you can do isn't necessarily the same as what you should do. McDonald's missed an opportunity to make this even cooler by compensating the developer. A couple thousand dollars in the right place can be more effective than millions in marketing. It just shows the company cares.

I would consider the possibility of BPD. This is kind of a hallmark symptom.

Point being: I’ve known men who are “stoic” in this way and emotionally stable because they don’t otherwise have mental health issues.
They have to be much less than 1%, I don’t t see how the math works. Views (and ad clicks) are what matter, not posts and comments. They only need the posts and comments to have something to stick an ad next to.
Men experience significantly lower rates of most common mental disorders; that gap is wider in younger people, appears to be widening over time and persists after controlling for confounding variables. Men are more likely to die by suicide, but they're drastically less likely to attempt suicide; the discrepancy is accounted for by men choosing more lethal means.

There is simply no evidence to support the idea that women are better at coping with psychological distress, or that men would benefit from adopting stereotypically female coping strategies.
Yup, pretty much. There was this one passage about the man and the boy hiding and watching some guy. Can't quite remember what was going on, he was like struggling or something, gravely wounded, and then he just dropped dead. The way it read...I felt completely empty and dejected after it and put the book down for a couple days.
Most likely it's about control, not financials.
>a commenter let me know that some members had already set up shop on Kbin, a decentralized Reddit alternative that is interoperable with Mastodon and other services on the ActivityPub standard. While the interface is rough even by the standards of Reddit, it works just fine.

Works just fine for who, though? Not for non-technical people.

The FOSS community, especially the Fediverse community continually disappoint me by being so dismissive of, or even hostile to design critique. Nearly universally, trying to engage a project community in rethinking an interface is received like unsolicited criticism of someone's physique. Even as a software developer who's put many thousands of hours into FOSS development, AND a professional designer, And making it clear I'd be willing to research, design, test, and implement myself, the results are usually just as discouraging. I've stopped trying.

Without significant designer input, FOSS social media initiatives will always be two steps ahead technically but 10 steps behind in UX. After the November bump, Mastodon had lost the majority of the active users it had gained by February. I think that if something even comes close to a commercial social media UX, they stand a chance at being a real turning point the world's conception of how social media 'works.'
Many women on Twitter are looking for casual relationships. News at 11. It's not different with men. If you're looking for a long term relationship, you have to filter out the casuals. The article says that surveys show more women than men are looking for long term relationships, so if that's what you're looking for, you shouldn't have trouble finding it unless your standards are higher than what you can get vs. competitors in the dating market. Being a misogynist will typically count against you, just as being a misandrist would count against women.
Conda is a fucking nightmare. Luckily you can usually just use pip to get the same packages.

It also weakens the 3rd party apps - all the freeloaders will drop off Apollo, etc. if they learn they have to pay monthly for it.

Navigation memory is the most core type of memory- most other forms of memory evolved later. There’s a reason why GPS usage is correlated with dementia. Human memory actually evolved out of a sense of navigation.

I strongly agree with the commentator who likened the hierarchal folder structure to the physical world, it’s a much more direct mapping of how human memory actually works.

Humans aren’t actually magical AI computers of energy floating in midair, they’re made of physical meat. Even if some abstract concepts (like tags) may make more theoretical sense (I agree with people who say that certain things can be classified in 2 different locations), it may not play to the actual structure and advantages of the human brain.
This doesn't pass the eye test. If it's true that religious people will outbreed non-religious people, why is religiosity declining?

The simple answer is that religion is not hereditary. Children of religious parents do not necessarily follow their parents' beliefs.

My family is an example. Several children taught that evolution is fake, and none of us agree with our parents. Only one of us have any religious beliefs at all.
Great work. Should merge upstream to give OpenGL some love.
The idea that Australian healthcare is "free" is rather ridiculous. We have Medicare Levy of 2%, Medicare Levy Surcharge of up to 1.5% (both calculated on your income _before_ income tax), plus according to my latest tax receipt about 20% of the income tax goes towards healthcare as well.

On top of that (and in conjunction with Medical Levy Surcharge) the government pushes everyone to have private health insurance, and it makes a huge difference in terms of wait times for "elective" hospital procedures (i.e. anything that won't kill you very soon).

All in all, last year I paid some AUD16k getting no medical services at all.

Paying all that you're still out of pocket for anything serious, as specialists (anesthetists, urologists, gynos, you name it) are typically charging way above Medicare standard fees and private insurance doesn't cover that completely.
I worked at a company where the team was asking for an internal dashboard to see real time metrics from these events we handle. My boss was like "Yeah, we are gonna need 6 months and a team of 5, and we need to plan this out right for once".

I went and wrote a version of it in a weekend and it ended up being what they needed. They had a few minor requests which took an hour or two but not much overall.

My boss was pretty mad at me that I made him look bad though lol. I could have handled that part better I guess, but I hate when people want to spend forever planning especially when you can get something out real quick.
Noticed r/indiegaming "gone". Good for them.

On Reddit, you can say things that would be normal anywhere else, but make a small group of terminally-online individuals very upset. Something as simple as asking 1 question in 1 subreddit. That's how I got my first ban. It's what made me completely apathetic to reddit.

The other bans were my fault (as in, I knew it was likely at that point) but I was apathetic at that point. Still, I appealed because they were silly bans, and my account was reinstated each time.
I've loved Pilots; the G7 when I'm dashy, the V5 when I'm neat, and anybody's gel rollers when I want a pretty ink. Oh, and don't forget fineline markers!

My brother tells me "oh you'll love the Varsity, it's the ballpoint of nib pens!" But, you see, it isn't. Ballpoint pens do an excellent job of being ballpoint pens, and the Varsity does not.
The only way to meet the demand of the masses without inflation is increasing supply without increasing the marginal cost of the extra supply. These days, that's mostly driven by technological progress and aggressively pursuing efficiency. The primary driver of inflation is the human desire to procreate and improve their living conditions; not to say that's necessarily bad, but it imposes a constraint that can't be resolved by the rhetoric of rich vs poor people. While I agree economists seem to be too obtuse to realise the hypocrisy of increasing unemployment to reduce inflation, a primary issue is that we as a society haven't figured out how to control consumption in a way that makes everyone happy.

Wait so then what is his argument? Because you can always postulate that a large enough computer can simulate every human and therefore can learn stuff too — thus you don’t need a human to learn language, nyeh!

Obviously, all that stuff ChatGPT says about feelings and emotions came from humans writing it!
Every website, including Reddit, already has an API you don't need to pay extra for. It's called HTTP and HTML. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking that you need permission to choose what user-agent to access a site with; that's what the truly open Web is about.
My point is that I suspect Google complies with requests even when they legally don't have to, and provides data to the government that looks innocent on the surface for PR reasons but is still instrumental for widespread surveillance and infringes on the rights of Americans
I think you misunderstand. Unconditional self-love isn't about pain avoidance. It's about accepting the pain as a function of ego and learning from it without turning it into self-flagellation or internalizing it as a function of identity.
I think that point was 5-10 days ago.
Similar with me. I used it and loved it. But floating windows are sometimes really helpful (testing website sizes for instance). I switched to KDE for 2 years and now I'm on Mac OS. On both, KDE and Mac OS I use virtual desktops with ALT+# for switching between them. I also still use other i3 standard shortcuts in my current workflow (e.g. moving windows between desktops).
> > malloc(sizeof(Entry) + strlen(key));

Also should check for arithmetic overflow, or at least static_assert that sizeof(Entry) is "too small" to matter. (Hopefully the process of deciding what "too small" should be results in just adding the overflow check.)
> Navigation memory is the most core type of memory- most other forms of memory evolved later. There’s a reason why GPS usage is correlated with dementia. Human memory actually evolved out of a sense of navigation.

That seems very possible, and probably important, but it's hard for me to relate that to the experience (as an "anatomically modern human") of having other kinds of associative memory that are very effective and don't have a discernible spatial or other hierarchical component.

You’d be surprised how big players work around those.

I asked GitHub to remove an issue from a repo whose owner blocked me. Being both I and the owner EU users, I sent a GDPR removal request. They just said they’re a “controller” and that the request would be forwarded to the owner.

Nothing came of it.

GitHub even has customer support, Reddit does not, so you can imagine how little chances you have in doing so unless you fire up your lawyers.

No, I really don't like any of the serverless or amplify type of frameworks that AWS produces.

What I needed was a distributed store for managing a large number of small configuration "files" and other state "links" across the infrastructure I built. In particular, I needed the ability for a write conflicts to be detected and managed immediately and for consistent reads to be available in some cases.

Looking at the size of data and number of transactions, DynamoDB on a per-request model was going to be significantly cheaper and easier than standing up a bunch of DB instances or other "fixed" infrastructure.

The ultimate model was to actually implement something like a POSIX filesystem on top of the "nosql" layer. In practice, I've been really happy with that decision, and it makes working on the code that interacts with this system very familiar and easy to understand. It's even got symlinks, acls, and automatically expiring advisory locks.
I think this is a good outlook, but I disagree on a few points:

1) The US could easily lower its debt load significantly, probably without over-impacting GDP. It's just that doing so would be unpopular with certain groups. [1] is a great high-level summary of where the budget goes. Does defense spending really need to be that high? No. Should we really be contributing to runaway college tuition inflation by issuing federal student loans? I don't think so. Could we not massively reduce healthcare costs by revamping the US medical system into something sensible? Etc.

2) If you think high-inflation times are coming, it's actually advantageous to load up on long-term debt and assets in the local currency. For example, if you think we're destined for high inflation and interest rates, locking in a fat mortgage early on is a great thing to do since your interest payment load will shrink relative to your income when inflation kicks in.

3) It's important to think of this scenario in game theory terms instead of singly-player terms. As the article points out, most of the developed countries are all in the same boat now so it's hard to predict how it will play out. It's a bit of an "If everyone looks bad, no one looks bad" situation. The question is whose economy will shit the bed first and how will the other economies on the verge of the same respond?

It's a facile question. The causes of inflation are varied and sundry. There's a billion discrete parameters that cause inflation and inflation is not a uniform phenomenon. Interest rate hikes are the simplest and most broadly useful tool. The Fed can't fix supply chains or make people be fair or raise minimum wage or create housing supply or stop wars.
Yes, it amazes me when folks come on to a site like HN and decry socialized medicine as “free”. You rob your neighbor for substandard care, and usually have a smugness about it.

Reading the full letter[1] I think the first use of that term seems generally fine ("Hi Snoos,") whereas the 2nd one comes across as grossly tone-deaf (which is exactly what I expect from reddit at this point), mostly because the first one is just the opening greeting and can be a bit more colloquial while the 2nd one is addressing actual human beings who are suffering from the strain ("working around the clock" etc) and feels like he's trying to dehumanize them.

The whole letter seems incredibly tone-deaf. calling the protests "noise" is incredibly dismissive of their user base and their concerns. The whole section about not wearing reddit gear outside is an obviously farcical attempt to paint people who oppose this change as violent when they are more likely to be people who never go outside, let alone people who are prowling around with weapons looking for vengeance for API changes.

Both of these techniques work very well, but are not as applicable to programmatic access without wrapping things in a complicated UI flow. My focus is on public facing website so I want to avoid multiple prompts if at all possible!

It's amazing to hear about people taking their chances torrenting with their home internet connection. It costs a few extra bucks, but I think it wise to utilize a seed box in a country where it's difficult to go after torrent users. Of course, it's not impossible to get caught using this method, but you're at least not the lowest of the low-hanging fruit.

You go the twitter way.

Just cap all existing API keys to roughly the number of users they currently have.

Everyone who is currently using RIF or Apollo or $whatever can continue to use it. They can't add any new users.

Super simple, nobody is losing anything, nobody is having anything taken away. All new users would be fed into the app. Eventually the 3rd party apps would have died off. It would have been a slow, painful and QUIET death.
Or just invest in building mobile apps that people love to use more than the alternatives.
