When it comes to web development, the tools we choose can make or break our projects. They not only shape our workflow but also impact the final products we deliver to our users. For the longest time, Supabase was my go-to choice. Its robustness and versatility made it a reliable partner in my journey as a web developer. But as they say, change is the only constant. As I continued exploring, I stumbled upon another promising contender: Clerk.dev
Imports aren't priced perfectly. If the worth of your currency is wildly variable you end up paying a lot of money on top to hedge the currency risk.
Well these things are what everyone has to do in college anyway because it's helpful for training you. And if you didn't get to do that in your algo courses or you didn't do college or haven't done it yet then articles like this are super useful.
One warning about 5-HTP here. It seems that it can be potentially cardiotoxic at higher doses, or so as I read.
Fair enough. But there's a lot to be said for finding meaning in helping other people.
The plan is to turn Reddit into TikTok. The site is being pivoted away from being a social message board to being a scrolling content dripfeed. Get the eyes in the native app and get the ads going. That’s the value that’s being lost via third-party apps.

The only subs that really matter in this context are the frontpage top-100 subs, and it’s not like there’s any real intensive discussion over some cat pic or earthporn.

The hobby subs are fine and generally adds value, it’s not like they’re going to remove them, but it’s not where the site’s primary engagement is going to be in another year or two.

If they lose 25% of users and quadruple the revenue from the remaining users - that’s a massive win for them. And this is where the 90-9-1 rule works against you, because most users are going to stay, because they’re just scrolling cat pics anyway, and none of this really affects them. That’s the calculation. Most will stay, and they’ll make a lot more revenue per user that way.

And in the grand scheme of things… there will be enough content in a month or two to keep people busy. This too shall pass.
If you're suggesting people can't afford the meal with the tip, the solution is to offer a student discount, family discount or similar when including the cost of wages in the price.
So weird, not sure what all the requirements are. I might just call "getComputedStyles" on the DOM elements and use that to generate inline styles for all the elements.

I have to imagine there are existing tools for all this..
Can you at least list some good or better hash tables?
> But treating the word itself as some kind of forbidden symbol that must be purged from everything is not much better than medieval magical thinking.

Nonetheless, the continued reproduction of that word makes it "acceptable" to be used, and every time affected persons have to read that, it's bad for them.
There is certainly lots of drama going on, but I am unaware of anything remotely dramatic or open fight/strike like is happening on reddit between users and company (non profit foundation).
> You have to suffer through idiotic opinions if you expose yourself to new ideas. There is never any alternative to that and there is no magic moderator that can make this decision in your stead. It isn't any more complicated than that really.

The main issue with that is that it assumes anyone on the internet is arguing anything in good faith. Boosting checkmarks has turned twitter to nearly unusable to actually unusable, because the signal to noise ratio on the replies from checkmarks tend to be somewhere on the factually provable incorrect to outright slurs spectrum. Expecting any better on 4chan of all places will be a a fruitless endeavor more akin to self-harm. If you don't want to wade through shit, maybe don't have your discussions in a sewer.

HN, while not perfect, will often be a place that cultivates some rare insight.
No, I would actually agree that those can be very similar situations from a “selling your business” standpoint, with the difference that while some of their professions have been particularly scarce for a few years, medical specialties have been scarce in many parts of the country for decades, and the pathway to become a medical specialist is highly capacity constrained, while the pathway to becoming a tradesperson is typically more demand (for people wanting to go into the profession) constrained.
Not the same! :-) The ZX81 keyboard really was objectively difficult, even for the time.

In terms of their feel, the MS keys (and e.g. the iPad Keyboard Cover keys) are rather more like the (still IMO wonderful, and pioneering) keys of the Cambridge Computers Z88 (also a Clive Sinclair product). Raised keycaps with a larger volume of air to move the membrane. Quiet and mostly usable at a reasonable pace.

The ZX80/81 membrane keyboard was entirely flat except for the tiniest hint of membrane bubble, with a uniform textured matt finish. Not even textured outlines around the keys. Surprisingly robust; maybe more so than the membrane keyboard of the Atari 400 (which is also a classic of visual design), or, say, that of the BigTrak.
Exactly. It was very important for us to figure out how well Elixir fits the type system, otherwise we would either get false positives or we would end-up relying too much on gradual typing. The other effort was to make sure we can lift as much information from pattern matching and guards.
>> Imperative programming is easier to learn because you simply write out the steps that you want the computer to take, and the computer takes them.

> No, that's not easy given every step can change the whole world around and you need to track all the changes in your head.

Learning and using are 2 separate things.

FP is supposedly easier to use in the long run but it’s definitely harder to pick up.

Imperative is the opposite since it’s analogous to writing out a list of things you want the computer to do - a concept even the uneducated can understand.
How many request per minute do you think most apps make when casually browsing reddit?
Nahh, 10am clashes with morning tea and 2pm with afternoon tea.
Importantly, the powerjannies aren't a monolithic bloc, and many of them are already vocally critical of the notion of an ongoing blackout. I'd expect that they know that if some of them get removed then other powermods will eagerly move in to claim their territories. There's not going to be some sort of class solidarity here - continuing the protests will be tantamount to resigning as a mod, you're just being dramatic about it.
> But in 10-20 years women will out number men in many fields requiring higher education

The irony is, that those white-collar higher education jobs might be the first to be replaced by AI, and in the end not result in high income. We might be looking at a future where a builder, plumber, craftsman etc. will be high up in income and status. I'm curious to see if women with high education but low income would suddenly be attracted to men with low (formal) education and high income.

It cannot charge subs anything since they don't pay them anything. They can try to forcefully make them go public or change mods (I kinda see how it can go bad and turn into r/anarchychess) but thats kinda it.
voted for 2 days, right?
With you on finding balance and considered points. That’s my instinct in general. However (and feel free to see if this lands with you) I think I’ve found that the ones that work are super direct. For example, Joel Spolsky had absolutely confident articles that might or might not be perfectly correct for all situations (eg “Things you should never do, part 1”), but the confidence means there is one message in one article. I consider that article a principle to balance against other principles. But it’s not written as if it should be balanced and that probably made it more successful.

The reason they assume they own our data is that when social media platforms became popular, they put these rights in their terms and got away with it, because most of us don't read the legal fine print. But now more and more are waking up to the fact that we got a bad deal. Take a look at Reddit's ToS for example (HN has a similar clause btw):

>By submitting user content to reddit, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display your user content in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so.

By moving to self-hosting through protocols like IPFS or Arweave, and having social applications built on top, two problems can be solved at once.

1. Your data isn't locked in anymore. All your social media posts, images, etc can be shared with multiple platforms at the same time. If you quit one of them your data won't disappear because all you did is grant them access, it's still in your control. This completely eliminated the issue with moving apps and having to start anew each time.

2. You can be in control of all rights. You can grant the platforms non-exclusive licenses if you see a benefit in that, or you can restrict them from making money with your content without paying you royalties. It's all up to the user.
The friction and the money perhaps.

I found the story of Hive (the social network) fascinating in that it was basically that idea of someone jumping in, learning the ropes, building a platform. And getting crushed under how much knowledge and effort, ultimately money, is needed to run a decent platform.

Their team was truely incompetent, but looking under the surface they were really a group of a few amateurs trying to do something, and it's only after the backlash that they realized a whole team of well experienced engineers is needed for anything touching user info.

I'd imagine trying to run a raw phpBB on the web today would be in the same vein ?
And IME zero laxative effects. Citrate in normal doses is also okay
Maybe this is why exercise is beneficial
There's a huge chunk of society more or less susceptible to such messages. In the secular West, this is usually phrased as "money doesn't buy happiness", or "there is more to life than material wealth", or "money can't buy me love, can't buy me looo-oove!", etc. And of course Christianity has its own set of memes around it.

The difference is, perhaps, that I haven't heard of a Western politician using such phrases directly when addressing the people - but that might just be because such politician would be considered a hypocrite. It works differently when religion is involved, too.
The trajectory of discord might be: under-charge and bring in users to supply content; increase charge when users now depend on that content; fail & monetize their data and their attention; succeed & implode because users dont want their attention/data monetized.

This would be less of an issue if users had clear legal rights (perhaps IP rights) to their own data.

I'd have fewer problems with "commercial platforms" if they couldn't rent-seek on free labour, ie., if the created content could be easily "replatformed".

Perhaps that's the next phase of the privacy war: the right to replatform.
Wouldn’t expect any less from a reddit mod tbh.
Clears shit from both your body and your mind, at the same time :)
Agreed. Also, if only there already existed (for more than half a century too) hard- and software specialised for typing speed that you could use instead of the general purpose system you have available on every computer...

Truly a horrible underdeveloped world we live in, that we have to hack together our configs and code to this degree and having to watch as no wheel in existence can ever be as good as the one I just now built in five minutes.

(terribly sorry for the bitter sarcasm, it's a pain point of mine)
Initially we will only leverage information from pattern matching and guards. There are no plans to leverage typespecs for now (as someone said below, they likely won't be as precise).

And yes, the semantics should map 100% cleanly to Erlang.

>> "There is nothing bad with any of this."

My experience has been that once a small business is snatched up by a firm, customer service goes out the window and the focus on efficiency leads to a marked decline in overall quality. I'm sure it's all gravy for the people making money though.

I'd like to see new papers link to a fuzzbench.com experiment showing that they are the new rank 1 fuzzer (the experiment would be conducted by the Fuzzbench infrastructure), if they're going to claim it in a paper.

> Now explain why almost everything we see is moving away from us

(Not a native speaker).

Most galaxies in our galaxy cluster are moving away from us because of coincidence: Shappley attractor makes accretion disk by attracting mater from Dipole Repeller void[0], so our local group of galaxies is stretched along the way. At scale of our local galaxy cluster, Doppler Shift is responsible for majority of Red Shift.

At cosmic scale, Red Shift cannot be explained by Doppler Shift alone. If we take into account gravitational waves, then at least part of Red Shift can be explained by gravitational noise: gravitational waves are slowing down light a bit, so photon loses tiny bit of energy with every such interaction, which causes major part of Red Shift at cosmic scale.

> where fresh hydrogen for stars comes from in an ancient universe,

This is though question which is hard to answer. If elementary particles are bubbles, then they are popping up because something is stretching our Universe, i.e. our Universe is inflating ... oh, fck.

> where the cosmic background radiation comes from

[If inflation theory is false, no Big Bang, and visible Universe is much older, then]
Cosmic microwave background is just light from distant galaxies with large Red Shift z=1000 (light was stretched about 1000 times from galaxies in range of about 4 trillion light years).

> why the distant universe appears 'younger'...

James Webb infra-red telescope is proving that this assumption is false right now. Read the news.

Go, printable Gridfinity stacking boxes with interchangeable snap-shut lids
Just thought I'd share this here, since it seems to have gotten the most interest out of all my projects so far.

Basically, I really liked the idea of Gridfinity, but the fact that most boxes are open-top made me nervous, I prefer lidded portable containers that can be packed away and set up again quickly.

I tried a few different designs, originally I was going to use elastic closures, but I settled on using the springiness of a bit of raw filament as a snap latch.

I ditched the magnet holes, for simplicity and because the whole thing is mostly a portable system, but I have STEP files if you really want them back.

The hinges also use a piece of filament, so it's easy to swap out lids. There are standard utilitarian stackable lids, treasure chest style lids, and decorative stackable lids for 2x2 boxes.

Instead of a lid, you can also stack on a height extender to make an existing box taller, and all the lids are just made by tiling one unit, so you can put a pair of 1x1 lids side by side where you would put a 2x1 lid.

You could also put 2 1x1 boxes together under a single 2x1 lid, but it will open awkwardly unless you glue the boxes(I'm working on a solution for that!)

So far I have lots of sizes of plain box, an AA holder, and an SD card case.
Come on, this is a straw man argument. That function was built for a specific purpose, and the fact you had to hunt for it means its not meant for general purpose use.

Besides which, this statement is just inflammatory:

"In true POSIX fashion they are close to useless."

The straw man does not support the conclusion .. POSIX is full of utility.
Reddit's going to be fine.

This is a tempest in a teapot.

The vast majority of users are going to come back (if they ever left), because there's really nowhere else for them to go.

The news cycle is going to move to something else in a couple of weeks, and this whole fiasco is going to be just yet another obscure footnote in internet history.
Yeah, I feel the same. I think that in the surface the idea was interesting, but the final implementation, with the "weaving" involving code transformation, and also the fact that there was some "inversion" of control flow (where the COMEFROM comparison comes from) weren't really good. All that flexibility was probably a good selling point, but it just wasn't necessary IMO.

I think in the end things like Python decorators follow similar ideas without the problems associated. No magic, just functions.

I do like that AOP helped "Cross Cutting Concern" become a common thing in development vocabulary, though.
Dynamic forms, push and page loads are part of the Rails stack. For everything else (which usually isn't a lot) I use jQuery and always have. Sometimes pure JS even.

I never got the hype honestly. However I have been happy with my stack ever since, would I be 10 years younger I may would do node and react as well.
Fact is that we're way too optimistic as a species and we're unable to accept that anything could happen that might be worse than what we've seen in our lifetimes. See Fukushima and the flood walls. For some reason being proactive is seen as wasteful and pointless, even though it's often far cheaper and easier than dealing with the consequences of not doing anything.

People complain about how expensive doing anything about climate change is and that it's a waste of money, conveniently ignoring the order of magnitude increase of cost we're facing if we don't do it.

If even reddit itself is not profitable, how on earth can they plan an IPO at all?
It is not the free market because they are privileged through their connections to acquire massive amount of cash in form of credit. The trillions of dollars available in funds from banks and retirement funds are managed by just handful of entities. You and me don't fly in our private jets to play golf with CEOs in Palm Beach. You and me don't have privileged access to these entities to get $10M loan in blink of an eye to buy up a local Rock Climbing gym and shut them down overnight. They CAN and they DO. They use their massive credit leverage through privileged connections to destruct any businesses they want, extract short term profits and move on. In many ways, few entities have monopolies over such credit leverage and that's absolutely not free market.
I don’t get it. If security is so important, then it should be okay to sacrifice performance. Why is there such inertia in accepting this? If security is all that is needed, get an in order completely non speculative core with no branch prediction (you can’t even run your side channels in this case efficiently)
They can do that of course, but if they do so, I'm leaving.

Basically what I do on Reddit is to subscribe to the vision of a given group of mods. They're the ones I come to the site for, not Reddit the company.

Eg, r/AskHistorians is good because it's run with an iron fist by the mods. When I come there I come seeking precisely that -- a well curated content archive that contains all wheat and zero chaff.

If Reddit forces them off, and they create www.askhistorians.com, then I'm making a account there.
DISCLOSURE: I'm working on commercial tooling for this exact problem [1]

> 1) What would your expectations be towards a software vendor in terms of what issues to "fix"?

I would want the vendor to communicate their analysis for all CVEs, i.e. letting us know which are exploitable or not, and what kind of response they are planning, or any fixes released.

There are efforts to standardize this workflow with Vulnerability Disclosure Reports (VDRs)[2] and Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange VEXs[3]. Both these use cases are covered by OWASP CycloneDx[4].

> 2) Is anyone aware of a security database & evaluation tool geared for vendors not for end-users?

IMHO, there are not any good tools available that solve the complete workflow. We are certainly aiming to fix that with[1], but it will take some time.

Don't disagree with anything there.

There's no reason they couldn't do both, really. They could have spaces for traditional ads, and they could have those direct partnerships.

Direct partnerships might be nice in theory, but it will always require a separate decision and process from the company to partner with Reddit. Considering there are hundreds of different avenues people could be advertising on, I'm guessing Reddit is kind of low on the list.
