I tend to agree about the time thing, namely that people aren't given enough of it to sit down and take their time with design decisions. If you squint you can kind of see that "software architects" are a business's way of creating a "solution" to this problem, but with lackluster results.

That said, I've been at places where management did a pretty good job of making sure that there was enough time to do this kind of work with middling results. People have to enjoy the work or feel invested in a way that makes them care about "3 years from now", and sadly in a lot of places there's a lot of "whatever, it'll be fine for as long as I work here."

It seemed to me that in let's say 50% of cases, having the extra time didn't really matter. Assumptions about what was being built were proven incorrect not long after a design was laid down and work had begun, or particular engineering types would create increasingly complicated designs with their time rather than doing the hard work of distilling the problem, sometimes including $PET_TECHNOLOGY as part of their solution.

The "let's design something truly great" really has to be in a team's DNA in my experience or you wind up with a good design that isn't followed, one person who does all the work, a gold plated design, etc.
It's because the far left that dominate all levels of SF/Cali politics, including many senators, city supervisors, city attorneys, police commissioner, judges and non profits - don't believe in "carceeal justice" and so refuse to do anything about it.

A common belief is that prison is criminogenic, because people who spend more time in prison tend to reoffend more often but this largely gets the causality backwards. This causes them to ignore/deny the pareto distribution of crime that underlies most criminal justice systems so we have a fairly sizable population of serial violence reoffenders that are just caught and released on a weekly/monthly basis until someone dies.
A rare sight, not worth giving them the attention they obviously crave. The problem does not lie there, it lies in the abuse of terms like nazi/fascist/racist which get applied to people who simply don't hold with the labeller's narrative. It has gone so far as to make these labels meaningless - this is not the boy who cried 'wolf' but the girl who cried 'racist'.

Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators from Subreddits Continuing Blackouts
It's funny timing. I think more democracy, or an ability to remove bad moderators has long been required. But Huffman saying it now is odd timing.

Especially given the leaked memo which downplayed the impact of the blackout. Maybe there is an impact.
I’m a happy camper at Lemmy now — https://lemmy.world. It’s already getting a diverse set of communities. I’ve joined around 10 now, ranging from Formula 1 to Photography to a niche one on Stable Diffusion. Here’s hoping it’ll handle growth pains. I find it pretty simple to use and get started with. Easier than Mastodon because here, the community is waiting for you unlike at Mastodon where you are expected to somehow find good people to follow. It’s also far more welcoming to a growing community than a stale feed at Mastodon because the tempo in a forum is lower and more forgiving.

I love how you can simply subscribe to communities in other instances!

There are some weird issues though. Sorting by Activity is like old skool forum activity where posts are pushed to the top even if they just receive new comments, which has some topics remain on top for days.

And sort by Hot which is more like Reddit is apparently bugged right now and freezes too often.

I recommend sort by “Todays top” until at least Lemmy 0.18.

He founded Reddit, left relatively early, and came back in 2015.

Back in 2016, The_Donald members started posting "fuck u/spez" all over Reddit after he banned a Pizzagate subreddit. He went in and edited a bunch of their comments to say "fuck u/the_donald" instead, and there was a pretty big backlash.

Hey, I get it... it's gotta suck to have a bunch of people on your site hate you for the past 8 years. At some point it wears you down, and I bet that's what we're seeing now. I bet the things he's thought and said to his friends and coworkers for the past few years have been so normalized for him that he sees no problem saying them to the press.

But still, I don't think this is the way to respond.
I never understood why websites are required to inform about cookies if it's acutally the browsers who store the cookies on the device and send them back to the server.

How about a domain.tld/.well-known/cookies.txt file that contains a description about each cookie-key and then let the browser provide the UI for displaying that information and being configurable on which individual cookies to store for how long? (and for example discard all cookies that are not described in the cookies.txt file)

When I was doing sales, at least for cold email and LinkedIn, I absolutely automated that and there is a lot of software for doing so. There is no need to manually send emails and messages. For cold emails, that's a bit different, but I'm assuming we could automatically call and when someone picks up it would be transferred to us, similar to how telemarketers do it now.

Not every artifact is worth keeping, instead the value can come from the process of creation as a way to structure your thoughts or to explain or brainstorm possible solution.
The value of class diagrams for those people is in the moment and it’s ok to throw them away later if they become useless.
> Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site.

I wonder what percent of usage is via third-party apps. And specifically, what percent of mobile usage is via these apps.

Open minded and contributing less to society or closed minded and contributing more. Which is more valuable to society overall? Tough question.

It's easy to be open minded when nothing is at stake. As soon as you have something to protect the game changes drastically. You start eliminating ideas from your head that provide no value.

For example, someone who works retail and plays video games and opines on the way the world should work vs someone who works as a nurse raising two kids and doesn't have time to opine and instead just wants to put a conservative in office to lower their taxes.

Neither is right or wrong but one has a more measurable external impact.

They didn't seem willing to do so, though.
Multiple devs have commented on the lack of communication from Reddit, and they didn't seem to budge when discussing with Apollo/Selig.

First-party apps didn't exist until they bought out Alien Blue, a third party client?

These statements seem like pretty obvious lies to anyone who's used Reddit for long enough. It makes me sad to see how their management dissolved into this, whatever this is. Sure, they've never been great, but these truly are new lows.

(I have deleted my 13-year-old account because of this, although I believe it won't impact metrics enough to have an effect. I just don't want to use a community-building site that doesn't care about its community.)
I've been on Reddit since near its inception after getting funded by YC, I've seen all the drama that has gone through in the last 17 years. This drama is no different, and I will continue to use the site.
It seems inevitable since even when actions are the same, intent really does matter. An adult inviting a child into their home is an action that happens every day, but intent is pretty important.

We should speculate in every direction while considering the motivations of a person or company, and we should weigh the likelihood and potential costs of being right or wrong about our suspicions when choosing how to react to events. Blinding ourselves to motivations (actual or possible) is a losing game which will only make us easier to manipulate.

> In developed countries seems to have benefits to the richer top 20%, and have neutral or negative effect on other

Developed countries seem to have outsourced or automated many formerly middle-class manufacturing and office jobs.

New jobs tend to be high-end tech jobs or low-end service jobs. (And even some of the are being automated.)

An obvious benefit from globalization and automation appears to be providing more affordable consumer goods.

Unfortunately (and for various reasons) housing, higher education, and health care have become drastically more expensive (in the US at least.)
What if I want the website to work even when JavaScript is not turned on? I'd need a backend server and some frontend logic handling that case.
It’s also a 180 from last week’s position, because Reddit has continually stated throughout this whole thing that they’re happy to continue supporting third-party apps as long as they pay, and that if they wanted third-party apps gone, they would have just killed the API outright.

But now Steve Huffman is saying here that the API was never supposed to support third-party apps, and they only allowed them out of the kindness of their heart. Which is also wrong, since the API was literally created in part to allow third-parties to make apps, because Reddit didn’t ship a first-party app until 2016 (as I mentioned in my top-level comment on this post).

I honestly can’t see him staying in his position much longer. As I noted in my thread, Reddit’s already starting to lose advertisers because of how they handled redirecting campaigns throughout all of this, and the continued instability is concerning the ones who remained. This isn’t an Elon Musk situation where he owns the company and can do whatever he wants, he has investors to answer to, and eventually they’re going to want answers as to why he’s pushing advertisers away, threatening developer partners, and refusing to listen to his site’s power users who both produce much of the content that drives traffic and provide them with millions of dollars a year in free
moderation.
Yup, agreed. On my sub, most people agree with the blackout. But there's a huge swell of people who are 100% on his side, and he's done a great job of pitting users against mods and framing mods as power-hungry jerks who are anti-democracy (in order to distract from the fact that he makes decisions with no accountability).

I think you mean that CPUs have low level exceptions/interrupts. 'Panic' in this case is a rust specific term and is higher level.
The problem is that the expection was to document the software design in excruciating details (e.g. class diagrams with all fields and methods, etc.) before any coding. To the extreme you were meant to all the coding in your head and a Word document before doing it again in your IDE.

This wastes a huge amount of time and usually the documents become obsolete as soon as you try to actually run some code.

This is the very issue the Agile manifesto identifies and proposes a solution to when it says "working software over comprehensive documentation". 'Comprehensive' is a key word as they don't mean NO documentation but effectively just what's needed to plan and help people understand the code.
Here comes the whining. Listen, nobody is preventing you from buying an Ubuntu-phone or whatever, root it, install Debian on it, play Tux Racing for 10 minutes and let it collect dust in your drawer for eternity afterwards.
My experience is that shipping stuff that doesn't get used by any actual end users is more often caused by thinking ahead too much than by thinking ahead too little.

Wasn’t reddit profitable a few years ago, until they took on a massive amount of extra VC money and hired more people to make their horrible new website?

Seems like reddit could easily have been run indefinitely as it was at a modest profit and brought happiness to its users, employees and shareholders. But no, they got greedy and have tried to “shoot for the moon”. And now they need to squeeze more money out of their service to please their investors. In doing so, they’re making their product worse. (No, I don’t want to install their shitty official mobile app.)

Ugh. Someone please make a simple, clean reddit replacement that my communities can move to. Reddits actions here have been slimy and I don’t want to support them.
The book was on the recommended list for second year Industrial Design students at my school. The discussion on quality is why it was there.
Well it depends. Personally I was a flip phone user until my last one finally kicked the bucket and the Canadian telecom monopoly presented me the choice of purchasing a new "network compatible" flip phone for 250$ and paying 25/mo or getting a leased to own phone on a 40/mo plan.

I need a phone - I got a smart phone because it was the only sane fiscal decision... and when I got that phone I was presented with the options of iOS or locked down Android.

This may just be a Canadian thing but I think it's important to not present this as a completely free choice. If you're on a budget and you need a phone to occasionally communicate with the outside world you're going to be forced into getting a smart phone - the only choice is Android vs. iOS.
When we peer into the fog of the deep future, what do we see?
That's not the issue. The license is akin to buying software, then finding out you have to pay an additional license to run it, even on your personal computer.
That‘s not really surprising, I think. Neither the perpetrators nor the victims profit from making this information public and the authorities are bound by law to protect the privacy of the people involved.

I liked the history lesson, but I think the analogy to modern anxieties about AI was a bit stretched. It's the first I've heard that "analysis" was meant to be akin to an intelligent mind's methods. This read more like a modern re-imagining of a time when mathematics was in upheaval with new methods.

> Are people just supposed to not like things past 35?

They are supposed to become grumpy old men/women.
The protest is being driven by the moderators who do the free labor. They are being mistreated by not being able to use the 3rd party apps that make their (unpaid!) job easier.

Reddit, now seemingly desperate for money, decided they needed to jack up the API prices. This is after squandering a fortune on VC on a bloated dev team making stupid features like NFTs. If they hadn't blown so much money and created an expensive wasteful company, they wouldn't find themselves in this situation.

Now they're dumping on their most valuable users, the unpaid moderators to squeeze anything from the bottom line.

It's disgusting, and I'm done with Reddit. I deleted my 8yo account. I hope the CEO gets fired and it burns to the ground. Hopefully something better rises from the ashes.
