Truth Social is the most successful Mastodon instance by far despite being garbage because it has a clear, consistent design and user interface, and has exclusive content from an extremely popular influencer. Any Mastodon or Lemmy instance that wants to truly replace Reddit needs that, Gmail doesn’t present itself as a federated messaging platform and make you jump through 30 hoops to join while having arbitrary management that bans at random

Ask HN: As a User, Do You Prefer Server-Side Rendered or Single Page Apps?
I've been doing some research on different web architectures and it got me thinking about the user experience aspect. As developers, we're often focused on the technical advantages and disadvantages of server-side rendering (SSR) versus single page applications (SPAs). But as users, we have a different perspective that's often more focused on performance, usability, and how smoothly the website functions.

So I'm curious, from a user standpoint:

Do you prefer websites built with server-side rendering or single page applications?

Have you noticed any significant differences in your browsing experience between the two?

Can you share any examples of SSR or SPA sites where you found the user experience particularly impressive or disappointing?

Remember, I'm not asking about your developer perspective (which could be influenced by things like ease of development, SEO considerations, or cost), but purely about your experience as an end user.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best, Klaus

Sadly, that is a commentary on the quality and efficiency of the US healthcare system.

Before I get an onslaught of downvotes: my wife is a Nurse Practitioner and her and literally every provider she knows that I have met agrees that our healthcare system is backwards, inefficient, and anything but caring for or about peoples health.
I wonder how society would behave if those homonids were still around today.

A lot of society norms are based on our intelligence levels being remarkably approximately equal across all of our species. What if there existed a bunch of beings on Earth that were somewhere in-between a human and a monkey in intelligence, cognitive, and language abilities?

Would they go to school and be a part of the economy and job market, but with some kind of "no hominid left behind" program? Or would they be pets and get free food and rent in return for being cute? Or would they have their own hamlets and kingdoms and fight with our high-tech cities and countries?
The base Lemmy site does allow that. It looks like every button should lead to sign up dialogs but doesn't. Just select a serer, then join a server, hit communities at the top and select all in the green menu. I don't know if it shows you everything but it does give many pages of topics and what server they are on.

The interface is not up to old.reddit standards but better than the modern reddit interface. I like that because there many servers, any popular topic will have a bunch of subs to choose from. Seems a bit sparse with subscriber numbers per community but if that grows, I could see it scratching the reddit itch...
Sounds like you never had to deliver something created with that god awful Rational Rose crapware. Who's genius idea was to use UML as a code skeleton generator? That is a perfect the recipe to guarantee your non-lead developers never gain any ownership nor intimacy with the software they are working on.

The only organizations using UML were bureaucratic heavy nightmare places to work too.

This obviously isn't big yet, but communities are forming.

Imho, be the change you want to see, and contribute to the communities you are interested in, so that other people feel more inclines to stay.
Sounds very cool, good luck! :)

Question though, how will you sustain this platform? I'd be happy to just pay some small fee per month and have some sort of guarantee that my data is not just being sold to the highest bidder. I'd like to be the customer on some social media platform for once
Deja News/early Google Groups provided great search results. Google, in usual form, has been working hard to destroy any property outside of Web Search/YouTube for a long, long time, Groups included. The internet is bigger now, so Reddit has an advantage there, but Groups could have been what Reddit became if it received some love instead.
One thing I like about the computing world is that people put "wrote the package that frobbed jpegs that in production frobbs over 1 million jpegs per hour". Anything less specific means "I was somewhere in the building when this was written and deployed".

When I worked in pharma people would say something like "I joined a program targetting neurology early in the preclinical phase and developed assays, until first-in-human four years later. Started as senior lab technician and departed as a junior assistant director for preclinical QC."

Took me years to understand how the sociology, regulatory dynamics, and science of the two fields legitimately resulted in these utterly different approaches.
I don't see how. Many of us have Neanderthal DNA. Objective facts are only considered (falsely) provocative if the provoked has an axe to grind, or a pursuit other than objective truth.
As a self-taught developer who, after hundreds of applications and nearly a year of applying, I regret to inform you, and myself, that I think the self-taught developer party is over.

There was a period, for maybe the last 10+ years, and particularly during the 2 years after covid began, where if you had a pulse and could write a for loop, you were hired.

Now, after years of self-taughts piling into the boat, not only has the boat left the dock, it's so full, they're throwing people overboard as we speak.

The word got out about a minimal-training-required, six-figure, work-from-anywhere, no-risk-of-falling-off-a-ladder, bullshit job: le coding. People lapped up the available positions, hiring became streamlined to universities and degree holders, and that's that. Saturated. Party's over. Missed the boat.

You want to make money as a developer? Sell your own products. No one is hiring me, so I'm trying to hire myself now. It's a smaller ship, rough sailing, but at least I'm able to leave the dock.
That’s a good point, I was wrong to use “ignore”. It’s a lot more complicated.
> When learning something, when you simply cannot grasp a concept however hard you try, what's the course of action?

Learn by doing, don't learn by studying.

Pick a (hopefully real) problem, solve it using classes. Repeat. Continue repeating. You will either learn what OO is good for, what it is not good for and how you can use it to write better code. Or, learn that programming is not something you can grok.

If you don't have a "real" problem; Then write program to play tic-tac-toe; manage the and display board, take player inputs, detect when game is done (winner or draw).

Then expand it to 8x8 board, then to 3 players. Those changes should be easy with good OO design (lots rewrites, code changes). And probably "harder" with bad OO or no OO design.

btw this is 2nd interview question I and my team used for years.

I believe that GIL-removal projects aim to preserve this behaviour:

Yes, indeed. And it's not even a novel idea, my example is lifted straight from one of the references of the paper you've linked (namely, Kiselyov & Shan, "Lightweight Static Capabilities", 2007).

I personally think that taking an optimization (e.g. boundary checks elimination) and bringing it — or more precisely, the logic that verifies that this optimization is safe — to the source language-level is a very promising direction of research.
By that same logic, you might as well run everything in M mode.

> It actively acknowledges that CT exists (in that it mandates that if you issue a precertificate for CT, you _must_ issue the completed certificate)

I don't think that's what the document says. I don't see a requirement to issue the final certificate. This portion is putting pre-certificates into scope of the agreement in that a mis-issued pre-certificate is evidence of intent to mis-issue a final certificate. So, before issuing a pre-certificate, a CA has to be prepared to revoke the final certificate, even if they never actually issue the final certificate; as well as prepared to defend the issuing of the final certificate.

Presumably, this is to cover from CAs claiming a pre-certificate was issued for testing only, and wasn't going to be issued as a final certificate. Also, I'd presume that a CA issuing pre-certificates so they could embed SCTs would abort issuance if they were unable to get a response from the certificate log, but there's always the chance that the submission went fine and the pre-certificate is logged, but the response didn't make it, so the CA would abort.
You might be right that their partial victory may get them nowhere. But the more salient issue in my opinion is that they are unionized and 'extorted' some concessions from their employer that the employer cannot make good on, because Amazon makes the rules. That is a real conundrum, which may get attention from courts (if they have a good lawyer).
It would be handy to see the license.

It's becoming increasingly more dangerous to use anything in the GPL family for anything but the narrowest of use cases. It's to the point that, even now, if it's GPL I refuse to incorporate it, even in personal projects. And I'm not against open source... Everything I write is MIT.
Sure, some routes end up being tree-like, because trees are a subset of graphs. But just as often you see waypoints like:

1. Leave the office.

2. Drive to the grocery store.

3. Drive to school.

4. Drive home.

Where there is no backtracking between them.

> And it's hardly something the modern introduced with cars - there's a cost function to travelling anywhere in the world, and people like to connect using low cost paths - which tends to model a folder hierarchy.

A tree doesn't minimize the cost for any given trip or for the aggregate cost of all trips between pairs of points. Because a tree has only a single path between any two points, it has the highest possible aggregate trip cost for all possible trips while still being connected.

What it does minimize is the cost of building and maintaining the paths. Since there is only a single path between any pair of points, it has the fewest redundant edges. If you were tasked with building a road network for a country and your sole goal was to minimize the amount of concrete used, you'd build a tree.

If your only goal was to minimize the aggregate distance all travellers took, you'd build a fully-connected graph where every pair of destinations has a dedicated road.

In practice, road networks are designed to minimize both road maintenance costs and drive time and balance those opposing forces. The result is more connected than a tree but less connected than a complete graph, something like a semilattice.
Isn't it dead? It's a shame if true.

["In 2011, De Jongh and Epstein also communicated about the wording of a bill before the USVI legislature to increase monitoring of sex offenders. Epstein was registered as a sex offender following his 2008 conviction in Florida for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

The whole reason (well, the majority of the reason) is that my favorite reddit phone app is going away at the end of the month. This is kind of a deal-breaker for me as bespoke app experiences (i.e. polish) are very important to me.
Definitely, as the seL4 team actually do recommend RISC-V.
The credibility of a disclosure is not merely a function of the disclosing entity. The average forum skeptic 'trusts' the CIA more in that they believe they have a better grasp of the CIA's situation/incentives/etc. than the average person does, and thus a better ability to judge the credibility of particular disclosures. Some may actually be a better judge, some may not. Imagine a manipulative ex telling someone they never loved them. Whether or not they believe it will depend on their mental model of that person, not on how trustworthy they are.

Pyrrhonian skepticism is generally proposed as the solution to infinite regress, why do you suppose it would it be a cause?

With respect to 'libcuck', I find myself frustrated by the existence of the term because I want submissives to be respected (out of play). I'm sad to hear that your view may have been referred to in such a tasteless way; while I disagree, I do not think your view is unreasonable.
Not OP but I feel like them. Been on Reddit since 2008, daily user, exclusively used niche subreddits. It was an addiction. I feel so much better since quitting it end of last year.

I read books now, or the actual material reddit was talking about ("haha who reads the article amirite"), watch a ton of great stuff on youtube, read more discussions + submissions here. My life has improved considerably.

Frankly, they'd either be exterminated, or slaves.

Extermination is likely because humans generally don't like competition. Just look at all the other apex predators/megafauna that have disappeared (or practically so) when humans showed up.

Otherwise, humanity's extensive history of slavery of anything we can de-humanize would apply to any survivors.
MacArthur repeatedly rejected suggestions for such use of nuclear and chemical weapons, stating that he would only use them to prevent an ultimate fallback. It seems that others, such as Bradley, Ridgeway, Truman, and even Eisenhower were more in favor of escalation than MacArthur, who seems to have been made something of a scapegoat upon his dismissal.

I think that's only for ARM's own GPU IP, not for the VOP (it's more of a LCD driver than an actual GPU -- I'd compare the VOP to say, GameBoy-color level of graphics capabilities, which is cool but not even close to a bare-bones VESA or UEFI framebuffer).
Any problem happening on reddit could also happen on a "decentralized" platform. Whoever is paying for the servers gets to call the shots. All federated options should be automatically eliminated from contention if we're taking it seriously as a reddit replacement.

Asked this on another post as well, but is there something similar to phpBB, but using the Reddit/HN “tree” style for comments? I miss some of the old forums I used to be part of, but do think the tree style definitely has it’s advantages.
There is a lot of backchannel reference checks. If you're about to make an offer to someone and you're in HR, there's a really good chance that you have a friend in HR at their previous company. Or if you're a hiring manager there is a good chance you have a friend who is a manager. You send them a quick note for a backchannel reference check.

It happens all the time.

That's a great approach that has worked for me too. I think plant is a great little system. Not only can you get your point over in a handful of lines of text but I have found out that it is quite easy to generate the plantuml programmatically. So instead of having to keep docs and code in sync you can end up generating your graphs in ci. The upside compared to big diagramming products is that plant requites no boilerplate and you can provably grep and sed most diagrams out of your codebase which is a quite low barrier to entry.

Ridiculous compared to what? Freeway expansion? Airport expansion? Do nothing?

Freeway expansion is not that much cheaper, and if you factor in the cost of 6 hour drives (or 8 hour bus) over the entire users, I’m not sure freeway expansion comes out in favor.

Airport expansion is also ridiculously expensive. The airspace between San Fransisco and Los Angeles is already super congested. You will probably need to build whole new airports to offer the same capacity as high speed rail. Airport expansion also fails to service the Central Valley, which leads to further economic depression of the millions of people who live there, making this option even more economically ridiculous.

This leave us with do nothing. Sure people can take the 9 hour bus or the 12 hour train and save the carbon footprint, or they can ignore the climate crisis and drive the 6 hours or navigate the dozens of airport combinations. This is by far the cheapest option, but only if you ignore the economic impacts of people choosing not to travel between between population centers in California. Given the cost of travel in California, both in time and carbon emissions, than keeping the travel options as is, is also a ridiculous option.

Perhaps high speed rail is economically ridiculous, but given the options we have, it is still the most sane option.

Google loves to group results by domain too. Say you search for something related to your hobby. Somewhere on the page is going to be a hit from the forum for that hobby, but just below it in a smaller font will be like a half dozen sub hits from that same domain, then that's all there is for that domain in the search results. Never mind that all the relevant knowledge online on this something might be contained in that forum, effectively below the fold until you expose it with the the site:forum.com flag, but this requires a priori knowledge of forum.com being a good source to use for your something.
In Kim Il-Sung's (the first of the Kims) time there was some sort of attempt at improving the lines of the North Koreans (as ineffectual as it was), but certainly in the reigns of his son Kim Jong-Il and his grandson Kim Jong-Un, it does look like power for the sake of power. I suspect at this point there is a fear (not just from Kim Jong-Un but also the higher ranks of the military and administration) that any sort of reform will lead to them not only losing power but also their lives.
