If the protest fails, there was nothing of value left to lose. Reddit has had ample opportunity to make things right in a way amenable to the people complaining. Instead, they've consistently signalled that they want to keep dumping the value that long time users see in the site down the drain. Personally, I have no interest in continuing as steward of the trash heap. Sad to mourn the loss of niche communities, but enough is enough.
Yeah, I do that too but on mobile is what I meant.

Yes! I've been leech blocking Reddit the past couple of days and I intend to keep doing so until I've broken the habit of absent mindly typing "Reddit" into a new tab whenever I have brief downtime waiting for something.

But in the mean time I find that search results for things point to Reddit at least as often as stack exchange.
Let's keep that kind of insulting language away from Hacker News.
Reddit modding is a hobby, not a job you do to feed yourself, stop with drawing ridiculous strawmans.
That makes no sense. A “vastly larger corpus” would not have the property of “not being exposed to enough example sentences”. If anything, the amount of sentences is far far more than any human would ever encounter — let alone a child.
Direct function calls are usually done relative to the program counter (pc in auipc). So you get 32 bits of displacement, which is fine as long as your code is less than 4GB, and you get position-independent code for free. This is the same as on x86-64 and aarch64 too, which also have ~32 bits for call target immediates. (also, compilers have "code model" options for choosing the size of code to support)
> Kinda no. As per copyright law, each comment is automatically copyrighted by the poster. If somebody slips up and pastes their novel in a comment, that doesn't grant you permission to print and sell it.

The way around this is to make users agree to some terms of use to assign rights when signing up, which is what Reddit did.
The bullshit titles that so often make us roll our eyes come in handy here.

You write REST APIs thirty-five hours a week? "Communications Designer". You oversee two juniors? "Team Lead". You tweak microcode? "R&D Specialist". And so on.
Ehhhh yes and no, you're mostly correct. 2021 is currently the shelf year for the latest edition of Rust.

However rust versions everything, so even if you have a new compiler that removed support for something, you can still pull the old toolchains and build legacy codebases (like this one).

My Rust OS not only pins the edition (which is the default anyway with `cargo init`) but also uses a toolchain file to pin the date of the nightly build I want contributors to build with.

Rust tooling is really fantastic in this regard.

"just walk through the red light when there's no traffic"

You can't blame them, it really is damn infuriating when nothing is coming. Same applies as a driver, if I could have back all the time I've waited for lights to change I reckon I'd be years younger. Sydney's traffic light system is brain-dead.

Incidentally, years ago I was at a trade launch by a well known company and I found myself sitting next to a person who was one of the programmers for the traffic light system and I made the mistake of mentioning how bad the system was. Wow, he nearly took my head off, it was such as sensitive subject. He then proceeded to lecture me about how difficult the problem was and how good the local effort was compared with many other comparable cities.
Smart analysis
the majority of my search results now is just "things I like", that are in absolutely no way related to the content I'm looking for, interspersed with occasional video related to what I'm actually after.

For example, I looked for a car review because I'm buying a new car, and 80% of the search results are guitar related content, because I play guitar and that's the vast majority of the content I normally watch.

They seem to have completely missed the point of SEARCH. It's meant to be a tool for creating targeted results. If I just wanted random content to pass my time, the landing page already does that.
you need a new account for every forum you want to participate in

That was true about ten years ago.

Most forums that keep their software up to date support logging in with a number of SSO systems.
I think the important thing is having real responses from real people, and genuine interaction and discussion, whether or not that takes place through the internet or in your local pub. You can find a lot of people on HN, for instance, who are happy to lose points or even risk bans just to say what's on their mind in the event that it's unpopular.

Meanwhile, broader society (read: 19 year old girls) are fundamentally very susceptible to simplistic ranking strategies. HotOrNot, a grossly misogynistic, shallow, frankly evil concept piece built around ranking people's appearances, actually paved the way for everything that came after it in social media and online dating. The reason they're so susceptible is that they haven't had the experience of living in an offline world yet where they're seriously listened to and treated as something other than an object, or worse, an Object().
So Firefox gets a green card for doing telemetry by default without user's consent and Brave doesn't?
They've had inflation problems since before MMT was named, you can't pin that on MMT. No, they have a very classical balance-of-trade problem: importing more than you export causes the currency to decline against the fixed-point of the dollar, which makes imports more expensive. Increased prices for critical imports like oil == increased inflation.

(Venezuela used to be a big oil producer until 2016, at which point it declined, leading to an inflation blowup https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/venezuela/crude-oil-pr... ; Maduro has been really bad for the country)

Money printing tries to paper over this but makes the problem worse, because the money they actually need is dollars, and only the US can print dollars.
Not only that but Macdonald's presumably paid for this game to be developed etc.

That developer is more directly profiting from the tools. If you want to make a moral argument, surely it's them that should be passing money down the chain.

If I buy something from Amazon, should it be on me to identify the open source projects they use and pay them? Further where does it stop? Someone presumably used Linux in all this, do I need to send Linus a cut? Which driver writers do I need to support? How many copies of busy box were used in all this?

Do you have any Faulkner recommendations?
Reddit users and mods are not ´volunteers’. They’re consumers of a service.

If anything the ‘disguise of free money’ was only convincing consumers that internet platforms were a right and free to operate. Now the balance is shifting in the opposite way, operational profit.

I am pretty sure that Write for Win3.1 used the Rich Edit control, or an early, non-public pre-cursor.

Here are the Win32 docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/controls/ric...

The more I read about this control, the more I learn about its insane feature set! Microsoft continues to make significant improvements to a version that is only shipped with Microsoft Office -- not available from a barebones Win7/10/11 install.

My understanding is that AUIPC builds the destination address by adding a 32 bit offset to the current PC, i.e. it is relative, and that this works with both 32 and 64 bit addresses. The difference is that, on 32-bit systems this allows to immediately access any address while on 64-bit systems you are limited to this relative 32-bit window.

One trick I learned from https://craftinginterpreters.com/hash-tables.html is that you don't need an extra linked list for each bucket... But how do you handle collisions then ?

The trick is that you make sure that your table is large enough to not have a lot of collisions, then if you have a collision instead of storing exactly in the bucket given by the hash, you store it in the next available bucket. When you look for a key, you get the hash, then the index from the hash, and you start searching at this point. If you reach an empty value, then there is no value. If you find the value then you return that. So everything is stored in a single array, no need for extra allocations and it is better for cache locality.

The same principle is used here for very minimal hash table (13 lines):
https://nullprogram.com/blog/2020/10/19/

This video also talk about how to optimize hash table and look into several implementations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMQ_HcNSOAI&t=1690s&ab_chann... . It talks about techniques used by advanced hash table. There was a lot more that I didn't know.
They're experiencing a significant drop now. But if/when the subreddits come back online, their SEO will be fine.

Google needs Reddit just as much as Reddit needs Google. Maybe Google needs Reddit even more.
Same with Mozilla who is being funded by Google's ads money. Whats your point?
Few feedback points:

1. Base64 Encoder/decoder has no config. Looks like you are having a standard template for text pages. Would be better to have another template for services that do not require config.

2. Would be great to be able hide services less used.

3. Remove text does not look like working. I can see output even when there is no input. I suppose this is hard-coded?

4. Would be better to highlight input/output fields. They have the same background colour and it is not obvious that I can write/paste text there.
Not uncommon, We had a bank where they tried on call rota per group instead of team. It was horrible, A ping in at 2 AM meant I had to go through code to triage the issue.

No amount of training is enough as features and code gets deployed every day.

It was horrible and I left.
Node.js installs the libraries into the `node_modules` subfolder in the working directory of the project. Python installs the libraries in to a system dir (unless you're using venv or conda or whatever). This means that dependency mismatches are resolved on a per-project level with node.js but are on a system-wide basis for python. If `npm install` is failing, it's not unreasonable to just run `rm -rf node_modules` and then try again. Worst that happens is that project is still broken. Meanwhile, if I nuke `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages/*` on my mac to try and resolve a problem, I've broken everything else that uses python 3.11 on my system.

The failure scenario with Python is when two or more projects need conflicting version of numpy or scipy or whatever. Then you start fighting with pyenv/poetry/venv/conda/docker to get a different environment to run it in. As noted, it works, eventually, but it's just more work. More work is just more work and we as developers hate doing busy work like that.
But if the 30 small subs I frequent all go elsewhere, my eyeball time on Reddit is going to go down significantly. Each of those 30 subs might be a tiny slice of my overall use, but together they make up the vast majority of my time on the site.

And that site is precisely why Fusion is eating Solidworks for breakfast.

Getting solid pricing information from that is impossible. "Contact Sales" is a dead stop in this day and age ... sorry.

Fusion 360 is $545 annually even for commercial usage. It's right on the first damn page.

As for the "maker" edition, that edition of Solidworks nominally stops if you make $2,000. Most people will blow past that in a hurry. Most woodworkers pass that on one piece of furniture.
Ask HN: Books to learn about Arabic text processing
Hello HN,

I'm looking for good books on how to process Arabic texts. I'm looking in particular for a description the various encoding and character sets, how Arabic is displayed and written with a computer.

For example CJKV Information Processing by Ken Lunde is excellent for CJKV (Chinese / Japanese / Korean / Vietnamese) languages. I'm looking for something similar, but for Arabic languages.

Thanks.
Funny how people ask this while also being critical on Nintendo. If creator of emulator is to be compensated, are you going to compensate Nintendo as well?
People started this blackout without any alternatives. Twitter users had Instagram, Facebook (even though that’s a worse shitshow and IG is owned by Meta), tiktok, Mastodon, and probably a couple others I’m forgetting. There’s nothing equivalent to reddit with half as much daily activity as even the worst Twitter-alternative, so they’d never catch on. People append “reddit” to google searches now, that’s how integral this site has become to the internet. The strikers should have waited a few days to a couple weeks before this strike instead of reacting immediately.

Every sub is pointing to their own discord server. That’s absolutely not an alternative and a chatroom will never replace a global forum.

The Denver Nuggets sub didn’t even shut down because they were so excited about their potential win. That’s literally the best time to show solidarity and they fucked that up because they cared more about posting 1 sentence meme or hype comments to a game thread.
This. Kicad is not perfect, but it gets the job done and is great for Git.

Perhaps now, Kicad devs can get even more support to make it better.
For me it is just that I refuse to provide free content to a greedy corp.

Eh, do Superprotect and Framgate count? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_revolt#Wikipedia

Reddit section needs an update. The page was created following Reddit's 'AMAgeddon', too. 'APIcalypse' this time?
Nonetheless, it's the primary reason people are called to back to office, the in person face time is valued much more than remote chat/email. It's not a coincidence all leaders favor face time, hiring is done via the process of "interview", literally asking the "view". Need more proof?
I found it funny that the same developer made a game based on the "My Dinner With Andre" joke from Simpsons that complains that you can't make quirky indie games with 1-2 people funded by corporations who just want to drop their IP in: https://gumpyfunction.itch.io/my-dinner-with-andre

Strikingly prescient
> Also I would not assume this had much of an effect.

Also here you are assuming somewhat wrong.

For Finland, the 2015–2019 average annual deaths is 53723. 2022 deaths were 63219. Thus the simple, OECD-style, estimate for excess mortality is 9496.

Whereas an age-structured model from Statistics Finland estimated 56158 deaths for 2022 from pre-covid trends. So the age-structure-aware excess mortality estimate is 7061 for 2022 for Finland.
There are so many 'supermods' that control hundreds of subs, and so many that do abuse their power. Mods are definitely one of the worst things about that site.

What's wrong with exploring one's spirituality and self through drugs and sex? Questionable attitudes I understand, but 2 out of 3 seem fine to me.
You're right.

Another aspect is that the mods/users want to take power back from Reddit's management. This is a way to do it. I think users and mods want Reddit's management to know that they can't just abuse the platform anyway they want.

I also think that's some mob mentality going on right now. Users and mods want to be apart of some kind of protest. It's exciting. It makes people feel like they're doing something good.

Remember those net neutrality protests? Well, no one cares about it anymore.

Existing customers will retain the free service for renewals done for the next month until they shut it down, and even then the cost of the new email service is a fraction of what you pay for Microsofts or Google custom domain emails.

I have a mailbox there for my domain so I hope they can introduce some easy way to just pre-pay for a longer period.
Do you have any theological reading recommendations? Preferably not oriented (at least not wholly) around Christianity.
Seems more that they were upset/afraid about how it made the corporation appear inept (and correctly so).

It was about maximizing the value of the IPO by ensuring investors would be minimally aware of the failures of the app and new Reddit, by ensuring as few 3rd party products exist as comparatives to the first party offerings.

It could be argued to be part of a conspiracy to defraud investors by ensuring they were incapable of being fully informed....

Honestly looking for information about hobbies is horrible nowadays.
It's all first and foremost subreddit, which has mostly memes and no info except maybe a sticky, THEN you find a discord link there, and finally all the knowledge is organized in google docs spreadsheet, that's in some random pinned post in some weirdly named channel.

I miss the days of the forum and wikis, it was vastly easier to search and lurk. and now you need a multiple accounts to even find that information.

Reddit has a ton of revenue - $500 million per year. Considering the work of actually running the site is done by volunteers, what is baffling is that they cannot be profitable with this amount of money.

I did something similar, but I mapped it (on hold) to cmd + control + option + shift so it effectively becomes a new modifier key that I use to define shortcuts that will never clash with any existing shortcuts. I use it to launch / switch to specific apps, move windows, etc.
How to Actually Break Reddit
Increasing their already high price feel very ironic considering that Laurent Chemla, one of the founder of Ghandi wrote a book (Confessions d'un voleur, literally “confessions of a thief”) in which he admits than domain names registrar are selling trivial stuff with a very high premium:

> Je dois livrer un chiffre qui, s’il n’est pas confidentiel, mérite cependant le détour. […] Le coût réel de l’enregistrement d’un nom dans la base de données
mondiale, y compris le coût de fonctionnement d’une telle base, a été évalué en 1999 à... trente cents.

> […] Et parmi ceux que l’ICANN a choisis pour participer à ce jeu, il y a une petite SARL bien française, Gandi, créée pour l’occasion par quatre fous qui ne
comprenaient pas que l’on puisse vendre aussi cher un objet somme toute totalement virtuel. Et moi je suis l’un de ces fous qui, depuis plus d’un an maintenant, vend du vent lui aussi. Ce que NSI vend toujours trente-cinq dollars, Gandi le vend douze euros après l’avoir acheté au prix de gros (six dollars) à NSI. Et ça rapporte énormément, de vendre du vent

summary: in 1999, the per-domain cost for a registrar was around $0.3, NSI sold it to its customers around $35, and had to sell it to $6 to its competitors, and Gandi sold it for twice as much, with almost zero expenses on their side.
