> > And to anyone complaining about Apple fees

Hackers don’t complain about fees they complain about the inability to have such fees subsidized by Fortune500 companies.

This is what happened for years when hackers and wiseguys would pirate Microsoft products…up in Redmond they just kept the score and passed the bill onto the big corporate clients who’d never pirate anything out of fear of lawsuits.

This is how things work in every realm, the catious elite subsidise the risktaking poor.
Try to think about this like you couldn’t care less about any of the actors for a minute. Is supporting Apollo likely the most profitable venture they could pursue with whatever resources it costs them?
can you talk more about gumption (inspiration) traps you experienced at work? i take this to mean some powers-that-be destroyed internal motivations you had?

also curious to hear your learnings on holding onto inspiration.
That's a bummer. I guess it's about time for me to stop recommending them.
This is a false choice - there's no reason the iPhone can't be both a walled garden-type device and support alternative OSes/software, just like a computer.

We know because this exact strategy works just fine on Apple's other computer platform, the Mac. Personally, I hate that our phones, which increasingly are our personal computer, are often no longer just a general purpose compute device to use how I want, if i want.

The walled garden also relies enormously on Apple - a publicly traded for profit enterprise - being a benign benefactor, which to date has been (relatively) true. The future on a long timescale may not be so nice. Were this to change, you don't easily have a say in alternative software.

Why shouldn't you be able to install a linux distro and turn your old iPhone or iPad into a really power-efficient home server-type appliance, if you want to? My old MacBook is doing exactly this.
Samsung has this reputation of being bloatware heavy with a lot of their default apps having ads. Is that still true?
I'm actually quite curious about what you have heard regarding families before WWII.

Many of the stories I've heard
are themes of struggle and survival.
The original premise of an iPhone was that closed experience. It was an improvement over the mobile market that existed back then. I remember because I had my fair share of Philips, Alcatel, Nokia, and ipaqs. What I’m afraid of is that some actions and reactions of a—let’s be honest—insignificant number of power users who want to root their phone is going to break the experience for the majority of the regular users. Progress is welcomed but let’s not forget: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Unfortunately this doesn't really work, as the model is not limited in it's decoding vocabulary.

Does anyone have other suggestions that may work in this space?
PinePhone + PineKeyboard might be what you are longing for. Maybe even Planet Computers Gemini.
So what happens if the Vision Pro becomes the best interface to general-purpose computing, Apple still insists on "owning the experience", and their patents prevent full competition from devices whose experience you can own?

I lean towards your philosophy but I worry that a near-duopoly on advanced devices plus IP restrictions and the like will keep us who value control over our own Turing machines stuck with laptops and desktops.
The GIL protects interpreter resources, not your program. If you have concurrent access to your own objects you need your own locks.
Not sure how is it in python, but what about using something like arti-client? Would it be already blocked?
I agree that they probably are not that interested in the survival of the apps and are happy to see them die off but my question is why anyone is surprised by that.
You can use lit components within Next, or within anything really. If you’re building a single app, use what you’re comfortable with. At my job, we’re often creating components that need to be used within an increasing number of frameworks because every client is using something different. Having a custom element instead of needing to load React on every client’s website is huge.
Thanks! I could absolutely see using something like Copilot to eliminate boilerplate when getting a project off the ground in a professional environment, but for what I intend to do now I’d really like to put in all the work, purely as a personal exercise
When I decided I wanted to be a father, I realized that the rest of my life would become one of being a bullet shield or spare parts as necessary. Seriously, every once in awhile I catch myself wondering exactly how I'd manage to become a heart donor for my kids if they ever needed that.

I started too late to be able to be anything but a K strategist, but even if I could've been the other I wouldn't want to. My children are my life.

The part no one reading this comment will believe is that my life has been so much better than it was before. I was a worthless asshole, and all the misery I experienced was no one else's fault but my own.
If art is how we express our humanity, where does AI fit in?
That's something I've been saying for a long time.

It frustrates me a bit when you see these announcements for a productivity app on iOS, and I'll just sit there thinking "wow, this is almost as cool as the stuff I had on Windows 98...". Stuff like Excel have (historically) been substantially worse than their desktop counterparts on mobile.

Now, in some ways I do understand why this is; I suspect the people making the apps figure that if you're doing "real" work, you'll probably still defer to a "real" computer running Windows or macOS or Linux, but that sort of implies that smartphones aren't "real" computers.

My iPhone 12 Pro is so much more powerful than a typical Windows 98 computer that I'm not even sure how you'd quantify it [1], but if I had to actually do work, it's not immediately obvious to me that the iPhone would actually be the superior option. Microsoft Office 98 is still pretty usable, early Photoshop is primitive but still reasonably intuitive, it's not hard to get proper text editors.

[1] Obviously you can look at clock speeds and "flops per second" and stuff like that, but there's other ways that modern computers are more powerful that are less obvious, like custom decoder/neural chips, better compilers and more efficient operating systems, etc. I think the safest thing to say is it's a lot more powerful.

What? That sounds like a great way to pollute the tightly focused fishing server... There's got to be something more to it, right?
That's very different from "killed".
Same here.

I like the walled garden. I like the curated experience. As far as I am aware, me liking these things for my phone and subsequently voting with my wallet doesn't prevent someone else enjoying another ecosystem that doesn't have these things (i.e. Android).

People forget how awful the Android experience could be. https://threatpost.com/google-booted-700000-bad-apps-from-it...

What about proctologists? Do proctologists need portfolios? Do wastewater treatment plant workers? Why or why not?
It it a sketch if you don't include every detail that UML was specifically designed to convey? Yeah? Noting that a sketch is not a derogatory phrase here.

Note that, for many of these diagrams, they existed before UML. It was an attempt to formalize them. In classes, they are often used as code generation tools in an attempt to keep a 1:1 between document and code. Laudable, but I have yet to see that work out well.

To your point, I think, the same ultimately goes for document templates. Way too many are used prescriptively as a way to make a successful project. Much to the chagrin of the document writer when the project fails. Often miserably. To the point that I'm convinced most accurate project documents are after the fact. Certainly not waterfall to the project that they are describing.
That still counts in my book. If you have to borrow money then you don't actually have it.
So I did transfer one domain to dynadot, to try.

There IS a free mailbox, but "For remote access please upgrade to Pro plan". So no POP3/IMAP.
They've lost all their major tennants and defaulting on their loans because of public & employee safety made the business unviable, what makes you think they'll stay open even if they weren't leaving?

The general area has also seen a huge wave of closures including pretty much every anchor tennant with IKEA being the only major business to buck the trend so far.

This isn't a just a "business is going okay but we over leveraged" situation.
With phones I've stopped caring. I don't do serious work or serious play on a phone, it doesn't have a big enough screen or suitable input devices.

The iPad (especially the Pro), on the other hand, would be a far better device if it wasn't so locked down. The hardware is wasted on such limited 'apps'. Ideally, the iPad Pro would run a full MacOS and be able to quickly switch between desktop mode (when you have a pencil and/or keyboard) and an iOS compatible mode when it's being operated by fat fingers on the touchscreen.
One of our 100 core boxes is Windows Server and it looks like they want $79,949 annually for it.

He's not going to have to pay mods, even though he should. He's probably going to delete all the participating mods, and let current members of the privated subs vote for new ones. Nobody will give much of a shit, except that the old mods will start attacking the site with floods or vandalism and that will be annoying, and some subs will turn into the wild west for a month or two.

That much mod turnover, and the vandalism and hate media campaigns from former mods could seriously endanger the site if some competitor arises all of a sudden, but no competitor is visible so that's unlikely.
A government doing something doesn't imply that it is a legitimate thing to do. It's Hume's guillotine: you can't derive an "ought" from an "is". You can't derive "banning can be legitimate" (banning ought sometimes to occur) from "banning sometimes happens" (banning does sometimes occur).

Taking your particular example, the mere fact that governments do ban "advocacy of genocide" doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. If you ban "advocating genocide" then you encourage people to label everything they don't like as "advocating genocide". And look what has happened: that's what people do. For example, TRAs now sometimes claim that anyone that disagrees with their worldview (ie. disagrees with their ontological claims about sex and gender) is an advocate of genocide against them. And certainly any criticism of them at all is "hate speech", also banned in many places.

I'd rather not give bad-faith actors another weapon. Bad-faith actors already twist language to get what they want. If you give them the power to twist language so that people opposing them are at risk of going to prison then the situation is very dangerous indeed.

That would be my argument against banning that kind of speech. But I also think that the argument for banning it is very weak too. People might agree with it? The idea that you need to suppress certain views because people would be swayed by them otherwise, what does that say that you think of the average person? Do you really think that the average person is going to be convinced by Nazis if only they had the chance to hear from them? When I put it like that, doesn't it seem absurd? "We need to stop the Nazis from speaking because they're so damn convincing"? I think people are more likely to latch onto something that is suppressed and forbidden anyway. "The government doesn't want you to know this" is more powerful than "everyone I try to talk to about this calls me a piece of shit and doesn't want to hear a word I've got to say". Social power is much more powerful than government edicts.
It also seems like a thinly veiled piece of product marketing.
Okay...you can find people in the US who wish the US would be invaded by another country and taken over too so they can be free from a capitalist hellscape or whatever. Doesn't really say much except you can find those types of people everywhere.
No one has to mod. If they don't or can't mod anymore, then they can leave, but shutting down the subs behind them is a different story. I guarantee this drama will pass within a few months, if that. It's really no different than other Reddit dramas over the years.

And, you hope the CEO gets fired for...increasing revenue and decreasing costs? I'm pretty sure the investors are well aware of this move and support it wholeheartedly in time for the IPO.

I have unrelated issues with Cloudflare becuase they're a single entity that controls access to far too much of the internet, in my opinion.

In this case specifically, I moved the domain away since they want you to pay extra money to use custom DNS servers.
I’m sorry but the scale that Reddit is at now and the number of subs that have large and thriving communities tells me that moderators aren’t creating some hellscape preventing community from forming.
My theory is that google ignores nofollow at its own discretion.
I agree with the Whitehead quote. Ken Iverson opened his 1979 Turing award lecture ("Notation as a Tool of Thought") with it. And APL would be a suitable replacement for 90% of the bespoke pseudo-notations I've seen in hundreds of academic papers in my domain (machine learning and reverse engineering).

Contrast this with 2 papers I've read recently which independently defined a "function" that returns 1 when its argument is true, and 0 when its argument is false. In both cases, the purpose of this function was to either keep or cancel part of an arithmetic expression by multiplying by either 1 or 0. Each paper defined this function with different notation (one used prefix notation: "Fn(condition)", the other used brackets: "[[condition]]"). Each paper spent several sentences defining the meaning of this notation and the associated function.

Meanwhile in APL, true and false are 1 and 0. If these authors had used APL, they could both have used the same notation, and neither would need to explain beyond saying something like "we use APL notation here". This behavior is not unique to APL - JavaScript, C, Python, and many others have "truthy" values which can be treated as 1 or 0 for the purpose of multiplication.

I don't care if authors use APL (or Python, or Idris, or whatever). I just would prefer that (when possible) they use an existing language which is actually learnable. If it's acceptable to not define your notation (relying instead on tacit conventions and context) why not use an existing language?
Yep. This is all passing the buck to the people (you made a bad decision, you have to suffer forever now) rather than taking accountability to fix the system from the top down.

Even the part about degrees that don't meet income level averages not being eligible for funding sounds good on paper but then you're essentially once again putting the onus on the arts to sacrifice for the other fields rather than fixing the system that has enabled this intersection of education and capitalistic piracy come to be in the first place.
> You're just exactly the frustrating personality type I'm talking about: one who is hyperfixated on the technology...

If anyone here has been hyper fixated on technology it's you. I haven't been heralding the Fediverse. I haven't been waxing poetic about decentralisation. I've only been responding to the things you've said about how the centralised nature of Reddit is why it's successful and that decentralisation will never successful, which is something you said.

> > Federated services will never become mainstream.

As for this:

> I'm content in my belief that we won't see a mass adopted Fediverse technology replace Reddit in my lifetime. I think theres a variety of reasons for this but the people involved in the development and advocacy of the products and their inability to listen to any feedback are the biggest one. They think they've got this _allllll_ figured out and it's just humanity that needs to evolve to meet them.

It's not like those products can't evolve. The developers and communities behind these products can, and most likely will, do things to help with adoption of the services they've created. This isn't like the book of Genesis. Just like how some deity didn't create the earth in six days and then rested it's not like new features won't be added or different federated offerings won't appear.

> I'll come back here and apologise if I'm wrong. I don't see that happening, though.

Nah, that's okay. It's just a chat on a web forum. I imagine we'll both forget about it in a few days.
But that’s not exactly right. Going back to the 1920s dealerships were reaching for the lever of legislative action to protect their position and they’ve done it over and over since.

I wrote a breakdown of a different Quake engine quirk (rampsliding) that might be a fun topic for a video if you're looking for new topics:

https://www.ryanliptak.com/blog/rampsliding-quake-engine-qui...
The wording is a little murky:

> Reddit does say, however, that it can eject moderators who are inactive and that “we step in to rearrange mod teams, so active mods are empowered to make decisions for their community.” The pro-blackout r/AdviceAnimals moderator who was ejected was accused by their fellow mod of being inactive for a year.

So after a while, since the subs are private, there won't be any activity to moderate and thus the moderators will become "inactive," at which point someone else can request the subreddit.

Edit: A better link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36347711

> If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.

Moderators exist to moderate a community, not to shut it down wholesale. Reddit's response is the only reasonable one they could have made. If the majority of your userbase likes sub X and some mods (fewer than 10 for such a sub) want to shut it down, then of course Reddit would open it back up.

People here on HN and Reddit decrying this as the end of Reddit likely don't remember all of the controversies of Reddit over the past 17 years since it's been active. Hell, most of the current userbase came in after the most recent blackout in 2015 due to Ellen Pao firing Victoria. This has all happened before, with no effect to Reddit, indeed, much the opposite, seeing their user growth numbers.
I love that so many here share the sentiment. I never liked reactjs. Started to use vue for almost all frontend needs. But even knowing what i do, it‘s way too much tooling just to get started.

Honestly, the iOS tweaking community is a great representation of why you should be able to have control over your devices. Over the years many of these tweaks have been integrated into iOS as standard features.

Sequence and activity diagrams were already present in Jacobsons original method, which again is based on the "Ericsson Approach" (originating in 1967), long before UML; they were called interaction diagram and state transition graph.
Yikes! Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix that asap.
Yes, but the thing is we have increased productivity tremendously because that's what our species does. So first we didn't need everyone working in the fields, after that we didn't need everyone working in the factories, and we're at this point in which we have to make up more and more absurd necessities and regulations so people have jobs, but we aren't going to need everyone doing that either. The clear socioethical paradigm that made sense after we realized that growing food was easier than hunting and foraging is heading a wall.
