"If Reddit is that unimportant, it should be easy to take those communities and move them elsewhere, but that isn’t happening. The reality is that without Reddit a large part of those communities wouldn’t exist, and they only exist because of Reddit."

Oh boy. First, this already happened once, that's why Reddit exists.
Second, it wasn't happening because it wasn't enough of a problem. Once they generate enough ire it will happen. Will this be enough? Maybe. If not, something else will. It always happens.

always

When for-profits are involed.

You make the same mistake they do - to believe that the success they have is deliberate, and not just mostly dumb luck. Had Digg not failed, nobody would give the slightest shit about reddit.
But right up until that point, what you said here could have been said about Digg. In fact, it was said. By lots of people. Yet they moved to Reddit.

In the end, these communities don't exist because of reddit. They exist because people have shared interests. The only thing reddit enables is for them to find each other.
If reddit disappears, they will find each other again.
I've watched the end of similar sites. I had friends on them. We found each other again on other sites.
Perhaps as an on-demand title. Add a foreword if he'd like, but yeah.
They only just announced it and had many details well hidden prior to launch. I think over the next few months, they’ll definitely have Apple staff using it around a controlled office and then later from home.

At this point, I doubt they’d be letting them off campus.
Ah gotcha.

But that has been the default behaviour in any mobile browser since forever. I don't know why he would blame Apple for this.

It's just using mmap, nothing too impressive. It's a nice contribution nonetheless.
Sift (https://sift.quest/) is working hard on doing exactly that. We don't have enough users to actually show it off yet, but at our core we're building around a user reputation/relevance graph that we think will let people curate streams like that.

In our model, as soon as anyone you trust in our graph says "this is a 101 type post/comment" we can realize you are not interested in seeing it and de prioritize it in your feeds/comments while still showing it to other newbies or to people who have expressed an interest in engaging with that kind of topic.
I don't doubt that this technique was used for the people who stormed the capital on January 6th, but I would hesitate to describe many of them as "protestors".

I did! Looks slick. I hope you’re ready for the moderation gauntlet.
'NOT flair:meme'

For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/help/search/?q=NOT%20flair%3AAccess...

You won't see any of the posts titled 'Access' in that search.

On old.reddit a number of subs that I followed had those as quick links (e.g. a "click here to see /r/cats without posts flared 'mourning or loss'")
My unpopular theory is that the Reddit blackout increased Reddit usage, having the opposite of the intended effect.
Biased answer:

The biggest differences between Elm and ReScript/ReasonML as language features are bindings, JSX and purity. Bindings in Elm are cumbersome and limited (on purpose) while in ReScript/ReasonML are easy, more feature complete and a little more fragile. JSX is exactly as React, while Elm doesn't have it; some people prefer it, some people don't. I love it.
Purity in general terms makes Elm more strict while ReasonML/ReScript allow impurity when needed, still most APIs enforce functional style, immutability and proper data structures.

Regarding community, there's drama everywhere not sure If I can do a good job here. Maybe community size Elm is much bigger than others, but they need to reinvent most of tooling that is done in JS and ReScript/Reason takes advantage.

I encourage to not rely on anyones opinion about what's better, because you listed 5 languages with opposite directions.

Try it out yourself and decide based on users/team needs. Cheers.
I'm sure those 5 major companies called out in PRISM are all selling the data, and one of those companies runs advertisements claiming they keep things private and secure.

I'm no VIP, so its unlikely anyone would stumble across my name. However that typically can't be used as a defense for such a policy.

I suppose it can be used as a defense if you want to claim your device prioritizes privacy and security. Its not a valid defense, but profit doesn't really care about being logically sound.
After Edge showed me a "Get a better price at"-Ad while I was doing online banking, I disabled all those services except for the Image one. Because the German translation doesn't mention that the images will go to MS. Good to know I have to disable this option too.

I really value places where discussion can happen without gatekeeping. The worst is 2FA or a phone number IMHO, however nothing compares to being able to jump straight into the pool. IRC is one such place and 4chan is another. Even the HN crowd appears to agree[1].

For everything else there is documentation, experimentation, social clubs and entertainment.

1. There is a 'account system' for reputation, but it is trivial to auto generate throwaway accounts for 'hot takes' or counter group-think. There are even simple mirror websites that allow for browsing without hiding flagged posts. No Edit:[I don't think any] attempts have been made to reign this behavior in, likely for good reason. Perhaps it keeps the discourse interesting and encourages lateral thinking?
Pick the pixels that came from a dog.
A couple of points feedback on this:

- It’s important to note that even before a single byte is sent, simply provisioning NAT gateways incurred cost. That’s “reserved capacity”, and should be seen as an anti-pattern. A baseline cost of $600 per month for three availability zones in three regions is just ridiculous.

- Your example is OK, but it would be nice to have a call out of something running as a hobby project, or very early, where the costs in the first point are prohibitive. This stifles innovation.

- It gets worse. It seems impossible to make use of code deploy for instances running in private subnets without a NAT gateway. That’s dumb as rocks AWS.

Sorry, that was three points.
I feel like all of these decentralized attempts to respond to the ills of social media/social products are going to never make it out of the curious POC phase simply because the vast vast majority of people do not care about hosting their own instances or owning their data to that degree.

When it comes down to it, there are 3 key issues with the "traditional" model of social products:

You are the product - This is true of 1) your data you put into the system explicitly, 2) the data you create by using the system, and 3) the predominant business model (ads) of these products. This could be fixed by:

1) some easy means to extract all data you create in an accessible format (only some users will care about this)

2 & 3) Allowing people the choice of whether they are the product or not. "Subscribe for no ads" seems like a good middle path alternative to selling ads without demanding a whole new architecture and operational model for federated solutions.

Separate of the above ideas is the fact that social products are really addiction mechanisms. Reddit/Hacker News/Tik Tok/Instagram are all heavily optimized to addict their users to their product. This is, in my opinion, where the real risk lies overall, because it is directly leading to aggressive micro feedback loops and information bubbles that are evolving faster than humans can process. I'm not sure what to do about this problem save for outright control/limitation attempts, which seems like a guaranteed mess.
C is a mature language. If they put out a new standard with a few changes once a decade that seems fine. But they do put out new versions, this year will see C23.

LaTeX is just packages (which do change, all the damn time, it's a curse) on top of Knuth's TeX. TeX, it's true, is feature frozen, Knuth has asked that when he dies the version is increased from a close approximation of Pi to Pi itself, and no further bugs are fixed. At that point TeX will be frozen solid, I'd be surprised if it lives another twenty to thirty years, its purpose is digital typesetting and er, you may not have noticed but we ain't printing so many books these days. Once we're not setting type anyway, TeX's purpose expires.
I'm not doubting you can trick people into engaging with a phishing site that looks like WinRAR. I just don't think the domain makes any difference.
Not really a given, that’s just how you use the platform.

You’d have to show thats a substantial part of Reddit’s traffic and therefore revenue, for it to actually be given.
Inheritance rights play into this a lot. A flip side of Greece I think is Spain where a married women can inherit property in her own name. And dispose of it in her will. In those societies perhaps a dowry is really more the daughters share of the families wealth.

Based on your experience with the device, do you feel like the first version will be good enough to replace a multi-monitor setup for software developers, and allow them instead to fully switch to using the Vision Pro instead? Or is that monitor-less future for developers still a few iterations away?
It is not normal, well adjusted people who are online writing that we need a "bloodier Waco" simply because a criminal is being indicted, it is white supremacists. Biden was right.

Whose life has been ruined by a single false accusation of racism? Racism absolutely does exist, unfortunately.

That weird digression aside, yeah. People are spending money on content that can be taken away on a whim, or basing much of their lives around email platforms that can deactivate their accounts at any moment. There should be stronger legal protections.
They are all used now, unfortunately.
Clearly you've not seen most gardens.
This is the big one. I doubt anyone has any actual ability to recover anything usable from such drives, but the principle works and therefore to the grinder it goes.

Modern flash devices are supposed to be able to prevent this, the protocol has allowances for it, but I think the risk of stray data remaining on such drives is actually much higher than on HDDs, because there are a lot more relocations in SSDs than on spinning rust, and because you absolutely cannot trust the typical drive firmware to implement any of the parts of the spec that are not required for booting windows, even on supposed "enterprise" drives.
haha right, the cultural problem is that when one has to pay $24 one should loudly cry how expensive it is tirelessly, again and again, all day, every day, until the server is shut down but when one is paid $24 one should be offended by what little money it is and as elaborately and tirelessly explain that your posts are worth so much more. You took whole minutes worth of valuable time out of your day to write them.

What if you pump it up with VC money?
Hardly simple. You are talking about running huge social experiments based on guesses about what might work better. It would be interesting to see the results of such experiments, but extremely difficult to convince people to participate.
Also back in the day tech was moving fast (i.e. UX and frontend would become outdated in a year if not months) and you didn’t to compete with multi-billion dollar companies.
You often need to base your styles on the height of the viewport, for example if you need to pin an element to the bottom of the screen, or if you need an overlay to fill up the entire screen.

You can do this in CSS with a dimension called "vh" and "vw" (viewport height and viewport width). If you're using JS, you can use "window.innerHeight" and a few other methods.

The problem is that in virtually every browser, this screen space is respected as the space that belongs to the developer. It would be extremely inconvenient if the "vh" value didn't take into account the browsers own UI. Because then you'd need to adjust your style value to account for that height. Well, iOS Safari does exactly that, and it's been a major source of frustration for web developers for years.

It's hostile to users because it makes developing for the mobile web fairly difficult, and thus degrades the experience.
I honestly don't know why they do it, but my more cynical side says that they don't mind sacrificing UX on the mobile web because it competes with their app store.
Posted elsewhere, but yeah that's my theory too (having actually helped built it in the first place). My guess is the caches got blown out because the entire system is built on the idea that most people are looking at the most popular content.

When you close down all the most popular content, you have to dig deep into the long tail for fresh content.

Also, my guess is that the code for building homepages is not optimized for having a lot of skips due to private Reddits, since most people have probably never been subscribed to a private reddit, or if they have it wasn't for very long, or even if for very long, never more than one or two at at time.
You get no support whatsoever with a hackintosh and generally the people that need these computers don’t also want to spend time doing their own IT support work as well.
1. How about drinking stuff with it? Is it possible without getting it off?

2. What about sleeping with it? VRC people do that, so they might be curious.

3. Is it usable outside?

5. Have you ever dropped it? :D

It'll continue iff it actually works to satisfy greed. If platform builders and funders see there's a limit to enshittification before a platform breaks, then they'll stop crossing that line out of self interest. I guess there will always be a few just trying to sell the platform to a sucker before it crashes, but you'd at least see the shit diminishing.
Moderation is a big concern for me, as well as the rules should be better clarified, but I can understand the lack of content as it just launched - I agree, however, with the proposals in not having the google file format.

> You had 50 cars til now?

Easily. Probably before even hitting my early 30s.

The term is known as carcaine for a reason, funny enough I attribute not getting into (much) trouble growing up to cars, and it's what gave me access to meeting more people in tech/engineering/medical fields than just about anything else when I was outside of it. I spent most of my teenage years and young adult life immersed in motorsports at various levels and as I said worked in the auto industry for a while.

I had delusions of being a GT pilot for a while, too; so given the company I kept I got access to a lot of cheap/crashed chassis or front clips with misc parts to make things out of for a while. My first 2 businesses were all car/car part based, fintech was the outlier in that regard.

> What are you doing to those cars? Driving not longer than a year?

Bought, fixed, drove, got bored and sold/traded mainly.

50 is conservative to be honest. I still own my very first car, which also makes that same chime noise I mentioned.

Time wise... hard to say, I just keep them until I no longer want to deal with them and do the aforementioned or give it away if all else fails.

The only Nissan I still really want but haven't owned is a Nissan Patrol, which I almost bought when I was in Europe, but decided against it at the last minute and bought a really cool MK4 GTI to teach my friend how to drive and eventually give to him.

I got a Land Cruiser when I got back to the US instead and I'm happy with my purchase.

Sidenote: its stupidly easy to get a car registered to drive in Germany, even as a auslander, if you play their stupid games; what they get you on is that TUV BS which is honestly just another of making sure people subsidize the auto industry--who are incredibly powerful in that country and write many of the laws.

Why would you need substructural typing to emulate Typescript? Is there a substructural type system feature in TS?

You can accomplish width subtyping with OCaml's "polymorphic variants", which could be used to emulate TS union types more flexibly than traditional sum types.

What are the features of Elm and Purescript that help model TS that OCaml doesn't have?
I personally disagree with the parent but you are misrepresenting their argument. The person you are responding to is referring to the thesis of the article which is 'as a community grows and strangers saturate the regular encounters, so declines the ability of that community to exist in a meaningful way'. They are using 4chan as an example of this thesis in action since the community of 4chan has a self-imposed growth limit due to the nature of its culture (most people couldn't handle it).

People seem to be under the impression that Reddit is a good place, unless the new API changes take place. I'd like to take a stance... contra to that?

- Reddit is a collection of echo chambers where users pile on and moderators ban those who disagree even on fair points.

- Reddit is a politically biased organization that banned the subreddit associated with former president and current candidate Donald Trump.

- Reddit uses shady tactics to hide the fact that they are banning a subreddit that has content they find disagreeable such as clearing out the moderation team and replacing them with a hostile mod that bans the normal users of the sub.

- Despite all this censorship there remains tons of creepy behavior hosted on Reddit such as adults hanging out on /r/teenagers pretending to be teenagers and trying to lure teens into sharing nudes and such.
I'm not sure what the SOTA is currently but the Vision Pro has much better eye tracking that other systems I've used in the past. Idk if the sensors are actually better or if it's just the native integration into the OS and apps, but it feels more seamless than a mouse and I've never "misclicked" on the wrong thing with my eyes. It kinda feels like if the mouse cursor instantly jumped to the right place every time with no travel time or physical movements required.

I've used a 3D mouse for CAD but am not sure where else it would be helpful?
It would certainly change usage patterns. And there are enough popular subreddits who didn't go in on the outage, so there's content to be had.

The adage "there's no such thing as bad press" could definitely apply, given how broadly covered this is (I mean, hell, I saw it show up on NPR).
I am still happy with KrakenD and it's completely stateless approach to things, although I didn't do any high volume scaling on it so far :)
Sounds like there might be some ambiguity around "minimum". These products were quite a bit "extra" in the cohorts of devices they were competing against.

They were arguably minimal for what Apple intended to do. They obviously wanted to carve out new categories and create products that would not be fungible with the competition in the minds of consumers, which from their perspective would raise the bar on what the minimum is.

But, in terms of the market, the iPod was not a minimum viable music player, and the iPhone was not a minimum viable phone.

Notes on iPod, 5GB was a very large capacity at the time, and the iPod was smaller than competitors with similar capacity. The wheel was very extra as a concept, however implemented. It had 10 hours of playtime on a single charge. It was built well from steel and polycarbonate. This was a premium product.
It seems that Reddit will go down like Digg did.
You posted 68 (!) comments in this thread, most of which were either unsubstantive (like this one), or flamebait, or both. That's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. We have to ban accounts that post like this, so please don't do it again.

The idea here is: if you have a substantive point, make it thoughtfully; if not, please don't comment until you do. And please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the guidelines in the future.

Finding new moderators would be a incredible challenge. If someone wants to be a moderators badly, that is usually disqualifying.

You get an immense amount of power with very little accountability except to the community. Put that in the wrong hands and you can destroy a community incredibly quickly.

Or, put power in the hands of a dilettante, and you get overrun with spam and insults very fast.
