I spent some time studying the world of professional home organization(as seen on Youtube) and the core concepts always come down to these:

* Allocate space up front in the form of containers

* Position containers around workspaces

* Use containers appropriate to the type of object and its use(e.g. "rounds in rounds" - put round bottles on turntable racks so you can spin to access)

* Duplicate objects you need to use in multiple locations, e.g. scissors for the kitchen and for the office

* Label spaces where things belong

And the key thing to it is that this isn't a hard rule like always organizing hierarchically or always labelling. The hierarchy helps compress space(that's why books and folders are powerful) and the labels help define uses, but in many instances, the level of organization you need is an open bin with some dividers - the drawer organizer, cube storage, cardboard box, book bin, cafe tray etc.

Computer file systems are somewhat resistant to unlabelled open-bin storage because that means you're allocating with less precision, but I think everyone in practice knows that they will shove things in "Documents" or "Downloads" and just periodically purge it.

Reddit showed up for info a lot that after all these years I subscribed as an old bastard op from the 90's. Now I regret it months later with this. Let them migrate I say.
Their App Store could be a wild Wild West and the first party stuff would still be great, work well, and integrate with other Apple products. It has nothing to do with the App Store curation.
A couple of my goto options are DuckDuckGo's video search or using the 'site:youtube.com' search operator trick for Google Search. YouTube's search and recommendations are largely useless now. YT just seems to endlessly shovel clickbait.
> I was flat out offended by the book and repeatedly had to set it down and fume about how unnecessarily disgusting he was being.

Ok, but can you see any beauty in the fact that he wrote words that evoked such a response? How much do you read on a daily basis that evokes absolutely nothing and passes without memory? Read some of his other stuff if you didn’t like this particular novel.
Counterpoint: do what actually matters to you. You may constantly start projects and never finish them, but that may actually be serving your need for experimentation and learning. For someone else, that same behavior might be unhealthy avoidance. If "finishing" a project (software is never done) is something that matters to you, find ways to work towards that goal. I've shipped plenty of things, but also walked away from 10X more projects that were "90%" done, because I got what I needed out of them.
But then they’d get banned and lose all that Reddit karma and their very important badges

And oops all the subs that aren’t total shit have min-karma requirements these days… hope you didn’t enjoy posting in those?

there just is this disconnect between the Redditors who imagine that all the users are behind them and the actual masses who will keep scrolling r/aww and mildlyinteresting and so on. If 5-10% of users want to self-immolate and be banned, that’s fine. People will get bored of the harassment campaign in a couple weeks, and the world will generally keep turning.

Mod labor is not irreplaceable either. The six people running 60 of the top 100 subs aren’t doing any personal work either, they’re just setting up scripts/etc. And at a lower level, there is an infinite supply of people willing to be petty tyrants for a modicum of personal power.

The users of the TikTok-Shaped Reddit that spez is trying to pivot to don’t care about any of this and in a year they will have stabilized around a new user base. And that won’t include a lot of the current powerusers/powermods and they clearly know that and it’s fine for them.

Probably only 10% of users even comment so if you’re that engaged you’re not the users they care about. And sure, those are the people posting content etc, but the Reddit calculation clearly is that they will be able to repost tiktok videos and memes onto the subs perfectly well without the users who want to leave. Which does include me, most likely.

Gallowboob alone is responsible for a large fraction of the top-scoring content on Reddit. The labor of reposting TikTok and tumblr onto a third platform is just not as valuable as aggrieved Redditors imagine. It can be replaced by a very small shell script, and that’s all you need to do, is to keep content flowing and there’ll be a large retention of users endlessly scrolling, that’s all it takes.
I feel extremely fortunate that I was able to get a sub 3% fixed rate mortgage. I still can't believe that a lender was willing to bet that a 3% mortgage would be profitable over the course of the next 30 years. If I were a lender I wouldn't be happy with issuing fixed rate mortgages.
Pharmaceutical companies will continue to develop new drugs so long as Americans are willing to spend infinite money on them. If they can make a marginal profit on selling some to a European country, that's a nice bonus. If the US also implemented price controls, companies would have little incentive to fund the development of new drugs.
In that it globally depends on us-east-1.
You're right, it's a play on the meme: "man dead, woman most affected".

Popular culture has become structurally anti-male. The ease at which we're described as simplistic, violent, sexual addicts doesn't seem to surprise anyone anymore.

This article almost makes a humanitarian problem out of a luxury problem: highly educated women unable to find somebody even richer than them.
> It was right after someone downvoted me because pointed out something that broke with their opinion.

It took you 8 years to realize that's how that place operates? Hell, that describes the culture on HN pretty well.

Freewheeling downvoting was a flawed idea from the beginning. 20 years later it turns out Slashdot had the right model for moderation.
I treat Reddit now like I do Facebook. Containers in Firefox, accessed only through VPN. It's no longer a reflex - I have to put in at least a little effort to view its content. With pi-hole and ublock origin too.

Indeed. There are Americans who will tell me PST, when they meant PDT but forgot to mention that. Now I have to track the American DST calendar as well as European DST calendar to do the conversion.

There are also people who tell me GMT (because they think that term means "the time in London") when they meant BST (because in summer, London doesn't operate on GMT).
I've never been a big reddit user but I increased my usage as Twitter devolved into what it is now, but now I'm going to have to find something else. I'll most likely start paying for Apple News for general/current event stuff, stick with HN for tech, but I no longer have a "turn off your brain and just decompress with some funny/random crap" outlet.

Bummer, I'm sure it was floated, and probably shot down for some stupid non-sensical reason, but I would have insta-paid something in the neighborhood of 20 bucks a year for a personal access token that I could plug into an app like Apollo and continue using Reddit via API.

Reddit went from 700 employees to 2000 employees because they took VC money and have to grow grow grow. I'm sure one could make a sustainable business out of Reddit but nobody wants just a sustainable business.

The cycle will repeat for sure -- it's been repeating for over 20 years now.
I will never remember this Yelp Review a fan of his wrote:

Three stars.

See that false burrito. See it swaddled in tinfoil on the desk in the bowels of that great tower, a bundle of meat and sauce in a place long ago ceded to silicone and copper. The stooped man eating that peasant food as if in consuming it he can escape to a farmfield in a verdant valley and look down and see blood running from his blisters and say, yes this is work. This is work. Instead his hands are clawlike and ruined by the keyboard and the mouse for he is a thing of bone and sinew in a sprawling contraption electric and of man’s creation but not of man at all. And were he to saw his breast open with that plastic knife and soak the carpet black with his hot blood and were he to look ceilingward like some stigmatic enraptured and with the bellows of his lungs let forth a soaring wail in that subbasement his screams would be swallowed by the acoustic panels and repulsed by the good steel door as if he had made no sound and spilled no blood at all.

I haven't seen any politics in my feed. The content it shows me is fairly related to what I watch. I have used "Not interested" and "Don't recommend channel" fairly often, so that probably has helped.
Many Russian (or ex-USSR in general) economists would firmly answer 'No'. But again, USA economy is not post-USSR countries economy.
In fact I was surprised when Canada announced that they are rising rates to combat inflation. But then again, is Canadian economy behaves like USA? I think the answer again 'No'.
> This is the risk of getting an adjustable rate mortgage, which is a decision.

In many jurisdictions, adjustable rate mortgages are all that are typically available with reasonable rates.

e.g. if I check mortgage rates in Canada, I see 5-year fixed for 4.94%, 5-year variable for 5.79% and 25-year fixed for 9.75%.
I agree. It is impressive there aren't more readily available examples.
I used to have this problem and then maybe ~8 years ago, I solved it, and word of warning, it can go the opposite way. When I finished my last project I started work on a new one, which I predicted would only take a few months. Common mistake I know, but even looking back, technically speaking I wasn't wrong by much. It is a simple project on a technical level, but not so much on a design level (by that I mean game design, its a game I was working on).

3 years later, I realised it was a fundamentally flawed idea. 6 years later, now, I'm still working on it, despite knowing that. Very recently, for the first time in that 6 years, I've been successful at pulling myself away onto other projects, but that main one still sits there and I will get back to it, whether I want to or not.

All thats not to say that finishing things isn't important, just that it can go both ways. Sadly I don't have any advice to stop others from falling into the same trap as I did other than maybe being aware of that.

EDIT: To be clear, this isn't a "just ship it" situation. I don't have anything to ship other than mismatched ill-formed prototypes, and I do mean prototypes. Maybe one day I'll just polish up one of those prototypes and ship it, that's been my thought process lately

The SEC is an agency of the federal government. It is not a part of any particular branch, really. The executive branch cannot just demand that the SEC engage in any particular action, unlike agencies that are formally part of the executive branch.

The legislative branch can demand particular action from the SEC, albeit indirectly, by altering, passing, or revoking the laws that the SEC is tasked with enforcing.
Something like GPT 4 didn't exist 5, 10 years ago, re Zuckerberg. It won't take much further improvement for eg OpenAI's models to effectively handle moderation based on learning from instruction for a given community's moderation needs.

There's no scenario where the AI moderators don't become superior to human moderators in a broad sense (only in select, very narrow cases will humans still be better at it). That's one of the easier areas for AI to wipe out in terms of human activity.

This isn't then. The game has changed, permanently and dramatically. Anybody calculating what I'm saying based on GPT 3.5 or 4 is doing it very wrong. That's a comical failure of not looking ahead at all. Look at how far OpenAI has come in just a few years. Progress in that realm is not going to stop anytime soon.

Nvidia is unleashing some extraordinary GPU systems at the datacenter level that will quite clearly enable further leaps in LLMs, and they'll mostly trivially handle moderation tasks.

As a way to create a community "I want to ignore anything that isn't a direct answer to a specific question" is something of an anti-feature.

I've never made lasting connections with people from Reddit/HN for exactly that reason.

I wonder if that's gonna work against the boycott here. If for most people Reddit is more StackOverflow question+answer + TV (mindless background scrolling) than a sticky community/communities, than that will make mass migration that much harder to coordinate and manage.

Reddit had many years to listen to 3p devs and to it's own internal developers to improve their API. They/Leadership decided not to do so.
There's also no fault attributed to modern university culture. Is there something about the way they teach that alienates men? Perhaps it's just a reflection of the job market and the fact that a university education doesn't buy much these days.
LBO != debt ("huge loan")

LBO is how the PE firm finances the acquisition. Think of almost exactly like a mortgage. The bank ( = investment bank) doesn't want to maintain/manage the house ( = company) so they help fund the acquiring cost. Typically it's 50/50 (50% the PE firm uses its own fund and 50% it uses a loan from an investment bank "mortgage).

Post close, they might utilize a credit facility (usually a bank loan) where they can put debt on the company's books for specific initiatives (add-on acquisitions, hiring, etc.). There are some huge advantages to this because they usually can get loans at way better rates than a company could get if they went to a bank and got an SBA loan, venture debt, etc.
Buffet prefers businesses with "moats" that present high barriers for new competitors to take market share.

Coke and IBM were his preferred stocks for some years for these reasons.

Haven't read McCarthy, however it sounds like a pretty bleak take on westward expansion of the United States across the North American continent / high plains. The hole, steel and fire metaphor brings to mind the process by which rail lines, telegraph runs and extractive industries are established. Those seeking bones brings to mind the search for grounds in which to establish extractive industries concerned with oil and some chemical precursors.

Then the rest follow blindly not truly knowing why and getting stuck with the destruction/dregs/etc.

If that is what is going on, I can't really argue about it however I'll take the more joyous propaganda tyvm.
> Question 2.0-2.(n): To what degree does grammar 'matter'? Is conformance to some prescriptive view of grammar essential to 'good' writing?

To be fair—his writing's a lot more challenging than most. Even most other literary writing. Even most other literary writing that's widely regarded as challenging. Editing it to conform to language & grammatical norms would definitely make it a lot easier to read.

> What is the function of grammar - precision and disambiguation? Are there contexts in which grammar can or should be subservient to other linguistic effects, such as prosody? Are there other phenomenological effects of reading to which grammar may or may not be relevant?

And this is the "on the other hand": on the other hand—and most unusually—reigning in that deviation from norms, at all, would, nonetheless, make his writing worse. Some writing can tolerate bending even the more well-considered and empathetic of writing rules—his required breaking them. Demanded it, and demanded a whole other set of rules of his own making, exactly as a poem may break the rules of prose writing, while strictly following a whole other set of rules, all to good effect.

The USA is rare in that the 30 fixed mortgage is standard and anyone who gets an adjustable or balloon mortgage is suspected of being up to something.

It's not that he wasn't allowed to have them. It's that he is not allowed to keep them. Big difference. Don't forget how much wrangling it took to get all those documents back. He knew they weren't his, and lied repeatedly while trying to hide them from their rightful owners - the American people. He wasn't hiding them for the library to be named after him. He was hiding them for himself. And he was not handling them at all properly.

Not only that, he was caught bragging about having invasion plans, complete with maps. How is that a personal record? Pair that up with the Chinese spy that was caught at Mar a Lago and even the simplest person should be able to see the issues at hand here.

Eh, print/log debugging works fine. Especially in an interactive environment: you've got direct access to the variables and objects, and can easily inspect them directly.

At some point I felt like I was a bad dev for not using a debugger, but at this point I think I'm more versatile since I'm less dependent on finicky tooling to figure out what some code is doing... Every language has it's own debugger to learn, but logging (and good strategies for logging) works about the same everywhere.
I mean I could say C++ is just python with memory management macros.

We're getting into the domain of opinion here. I would say TS is different enough such that it's two different languages.

Programming with type checking and programming with plain JS is really different. A programmer without experience in types (ie plain JS) won't be able to pick up types that that quickly on average. Things like enums, Generics, sum types, product types, recursive types, really change the game by restricting what functions can do.
American culture is sick from advertising. There will never be enough anti corporate sentiment anywhere. You should assume these businesses are killing you and know it because that's the one thing they reliably do. Anything else is to distract you from that. If they do something "nice" you can bet they could have done more better.
> I can't wait to make a seemingly-innocuous post on some subreddit, only to have that post removed for "failing to meet community guidelines" and receive absolutely zero intelligible response from the AI moderators.

THat's how their whole "Appeal" process is now. We had accounts suspended permanently for daring to question the mods at a large subreddit, and they nuked every account that logged in from our home IP. Wife's account, which was innocent, was permanently suspended. Same with housemate behind us that used our WiFi.

The appeal process? Within 5 minutes we got a useless and canned message that was along the lines of "After careful review, it was been determined that... blah blah blah."

We've since made new accounts, but it was 100+ days later, and all of our reddit usage is way down as a result. My account alone was 8+ years old. Gone, no appeal, nothing.

Reports in /r/help were that they used AI to handle appeals. Not sure if it's true, but it feels like it is.

The lender likely sold it off. There is a good chance a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae owns the mortgage, otherwise it may have been sold to investors. It isn't a wholly free market decision to think your loan would be profitable over 30 years.
Wonderful, thank you vincent

A lot of those mortgages got sold off into MBS and then got bought out by the Federal Reserve. So if you had a 3% mortgage, chances are, the FED partially subsidized your mortgage at the expense of the American taxpayer (which is what a lot of people are rightfully angry about).
Isn't there a poll function on HN?
I'll give you that, but I also don't think it was clear at the time that "next quarters profit" culture would destroy everything good.

The culture at the time was "growth is money" and "we can figure out how to monetize later."

Today we have the knowledge that monetization requires enshittification, but I think there were dreams that monetization could succeed without enshittification, and now those dreams have died.
