They are still running the show. Making your subreddit private is, or at least used to be, a perfectly legitimate way of running things. Remember, reddit added that feature to their website.
That's a great list. You might want to consider applying at Reddit for a PM role :)

I don't think reddit cares as much about third-party clients as much as being mined for data. There is a case to be made that third-party clients take away from their ad revenue in the same way that third-party Twitter clients took away from Twitter's ad revenue (Twitter's financial woes are not due to limiting third-party clients by the way). It also adds a level of complexity since all changes to the platform require API changes as well (and backward compatibility support).

In fact, most, if not all, of your ideas require that a user use a first-party client.

Thinking that monetizing API is a good idea is not contrarian, by the way. It's what the company is looking to do. Rolling back this decision is the contrarian approach. Semantics but worth pointing out.
I don't think it's so much and issue as it's pretty clear evidence that the current leadership is capable and comfortable with using that tactic. If you told me Jamie Dimon had personally sanctioned fake reviews for the JPMorgan app, I'd tell you to fuck off, there's no way that man would know how to do that. If you tell me the /u/spaz is doing it himself, I'd roll my eyes and say obviously.

I remember seeing a public statement from Reddit saying their revenue hasn't been impacted by the blackout.
Citation needed, beyond Tesla's misleading attempt to push statistics that compare "a limited subset of driving conditions where conditions are sufficiently optimal that FSD will engage, including but not limited to weather, location, time of day and road condition" against "all drivers in all weather, locations, all times of day and all road conditions".
Oh defining a framework that defines incarceration is hard so we should just have slavery. Got it.

Random anecdote. Slavery means NO days off. If you are sick, you have to get up at 5:30am and go wait in line outside in the freezing snow for sick call (you also have to do this for 'pill line' if you have any meds, though you aren't charged the $5 a pop for that). Sick call costs $5 a visit. You make $5 a month. Then the doctor says 'drink water and take an aspirin' and clears you to go to work. Aspirin is only available from the commissary in large overprices bottles about to expire. You are REQUIRED to throw the bottle away when it is expired or you will get a shot for 'contraband'. You can not share aspirin with others. Hopefully you planned ahead and saved your $5 for 2 months to afford a bottle of aspirin in case you got sick, and it hasn't expired before you get sick. When you get to work, sick, no exception is made for your physical condition. If you work HVAC you're still climbing ladders in the snow to the roof.

Slavery means I was forced to shovel the compound with a shovel with a broken handle so exposed fiberglass that cut me up. I was issued a 'navy uniform' which is what we wear in the feds. So short sleeve shirt, thin khaki slacks, thin socks. And you get a light non-waterproof jacket. You want long underwear? Commissary purchase (4X monthly pay, $20 pants OR $20 shirt). Gloves? Commissary purchase (2 months pay $10). Hat? commissary purchase (1 months pay $5). So I shoveled snow for hours, soaked to the bone, in whiteout conditions, no hat, no gloves, with my hands bleeding. That is slavery. And I had it good. I was able to get the shovel fixed through connections, boy was the cop that made me do that pissed when next time I pulled the shovel out of the locked tool closet and somehow it was fixed even though he kept 'forgetting' to put in a work order.
Please understand that "defund the police" is way more than just cutting money to buy things, but also demanding huge amounts for asinine redtape that is mostly impractical in the real World. Also local directives like: "Not permitting a police officer to be at a school or even at the parking lot" ( yes.. really )

To the point most police departments are running at half-capacity and 911 calls remain open for HOURS!

It's all fine, until you are the one calling 911 and feel abandoned, then who are you going to blame? The police of course..

This is an unfair take. Whatever you think of Meta as a corporation or Zuckerberg as a person, neither caused the Rohingya crisis, much less the conflict; and while it's fair to argue that FB/Meta could have done more to stem hate speech on the platform, your phrasing intentionally villainizes a single individual for an entire ongoing, complex sociopolitical situation.
Much like why some people contribute to open source projects, sometimes people find a thing useful but think it could be better, and spend some of their time to make it so, either by helping to organize things so the subreddit isn't frequently the same 6 posts, or organizing community recurring events, or a million other things to foster a community.

There's also plenty of people who like the authority, or a thousand other reasons, but that's one example.

I come up with "It is unknown", though this is a rather unusual way of thinking these days.

Oh, you are preaching to the choir!

I don't think anybody is saying to accept PEP 703 (and i don't want to make this conversation just about PEP 703, there was many other promising gil-less proposals) tomorrow.

The main complain of the author of PEP (and other people as well) is the lack of clarity on the criteria for inclusion, as well as the constant goal post moving.

> it looks like even with the compile nogil flag off, there are enough low-level API changes that extensions would break.

From my understand, after testing from the author (and couple of other people on the discord thread) no case have been found yet. Greg's point is that the blast radium is so large that there is high probability that this might happen. We won't know until we test in the wild... And we won't test in the wild until the council arrives at a conclusion.

The burden of proof here is so absurdly high, and has to be paid be Sam alone here that this will essentially kill this proposal.

So, I agree with you. But here's the thing, you have property rights.

I am no lawyer, but I am a human who can think morally and ethically, and I would say this: a company cannot sell a thing and then restrict the usage of said thing. An iPhone is sold to you. iOS, otoh, is licensed to you. It is my opinion that Apple either needs to make it possible for the purchaser to replace iOS or Apple needs to make it possible to run arbitrary code on iOS. Anything else restricts the rights of the owner of the phone, and essentially violates his/her ownership. In this case, Apple should be able to be taken to court for theft and/or fraud.

My partner and I recently watched an old episode of the Simpsons where a plot point is Homer attempting to repair the toaster and creating a time machine.

It was taken as completely normal that you’d assume anyone would repair their toaster if it stopped working. Made me realize it’s been a long time since it would seem reasonable to self repair any home appliance.
I feel like the crazies ranting about "white erasure" are making it harder to criticize these race-reboots on the grounds they should be criticized for: laziness. Mediocre products where the selling point is, "we swapped races, give us points," remain mediocre and are unbelievably lazy compared to what we should see... which is new and interesting things with diversity baked in.

Unfortunately the hysterical racists are so loud and pervasive that this is yet another issue we see broken down in a Manichean battle to cover for a total lack of new ideas.

> It's borderline inexplicable to me. How could someone want this in the first place and how could they be willing to do it in a volunteer capacity?

Being a gatekeeper for a popular subreddit is a form of meaningful influence. Meaningful influence can lead to money and other benefits. Reddit mods in the past have been exposed for using their influence to push certain content and block other kind.
> I wish we had a better mental model for the types of tests than the "testing pyramid." I find the testing pyramid lacking.

I have a hunch that every pyramid model is bullshit. It's inherently appealing to present any sequence of things as a pyramid, regardless of whether it makes sense.
My country (Sweden) recently had a supreme court decision basically saying it's the banks' responsibility to safeguard the deposited money and making sure they're giving it out to the proper person and that's that. [Obviously there's a balance, but it dramatically shifted towards the rights of the bank account owner.]

I think it is a more of interstate commerce issue. We buy the cars make them legal to operate in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and never use them outside the Commonwealth.
For a small site maybe, but you underestimate the challenge of some of these things for enterprise sites. If a new directory or slug is added to a site, what team in an organization is going to care if all urls are redirected correctly? For a site with tens of millions of pages, who is going to make sure they're all working the way we want? Who makes sure robots.txt files take into account those changes? Are sitemaps updated for crawlers? Are all our analytics tools in line with the new url structure? etc..

Every large site I've worked on doesn't actively think about these problems, and it's the SEO team who has thought about these problems.

Generally people care about their slice of responsibility. At most large organizations with enterprise sites, many parts of SEO falls outside of those slices of responsibility so people don't think about them. This is especially true if it's hard to put dollar values on them.

Electronics and gadgets are the easiest to search. As I said on another post, the forums I used to visit back in 2000s-2010s are still around. Reddit is just SEO optimized but not the be all and all for answers for that.

Google is still pretty good when I try to use it especially because I have learned some of their search functions and operators. I haven't done vanilla search since I learned them.

Bard is nice but not for everything. It always gave me the wrong answer about dates and events for the next NBA game.
More to the point: it's that long tail of niche communities where people talk about the things that make for good site: searching. In marketing terms, these are extremely qualified leads. Many of them are people looking for reviews for something they're about to buy, or who want to talk about something they bought. It's exactly the kind of impression advertisers want to run an ad on.

This is a really good analysis, and it points to a central flaw in Rust. As a practical matter, you have to have more than one pointer to a data structure all the time. You really can't implement some things without it.

Rust makes this really, really difficult. If you can live with immutable pointers, you can have as many as you like, but the lifetime syntax you have to juggle can become a horror show, and can force lifetime annotations on a whole chain of structures. If you can't live with immutable references, then you are forced to use the unnecessarily ugly Rc<> syntax.

I often find myself using the array indexes trick, which leads to buggy code.

In Java, I never had to do this. Multiple "pointers" are fine. The garbage collector takes care of memory safety. In this one sense, Rust is a less-safe language than Java.

I have been writing Rust for two years now. I would not use it again if I could avoid it. It is a giant waste of time.
> 0(literally zero, not "few")

Admittedly I included reviews like "Great app" and "Good. " but if we're strictly going on one word only:

"Awesome."

""

"Great!"

"Perfect"

"Works"

"Great"

"Perfect"

""

Not sure why that's a requirement though. Isn't the point that the reviews are low effort or is one word exactly indicative of something? If I bought fake reviews I would expect a tiny bit higher standard than that.

Edit: HN stripping emojis but they were thumb ups.
I'm almost starting to think they really will break Reddit.

When all this started I had no doubt that the protests would come, make their point, end, and then Reddit would continue on its way.

But this has been so poorly handled.

I think a key to reddit's "success" (such as it is) is that they figured out how to scale moderation -- by getting volunteers to do the tough work for free. I'm sure reddit can toss all the uncooperative mods and get as many new ones as they could ever want.

But they are changing the fundamental dynamic between mod, subreddit and reddit the company. I wonder if this won't actually break the system.

Before, mods could run subreddits as they saw fit, users could choose the subreddits they participated in, and a user can always create a new subreddit if they don't think any existing ones suit their needs.

Now mods will have to accept that supporting reddit's business goals is the "zeroth law" for any subreddit. I just wonder if enough quality moderators will be willing to put in the time and effort required to keep a larger community from devolving into a cess pool, or to build up new subreddits -- for free.

When you're working for yourself doing what you want, when you want, you don't mind not getting paid for it. When a boss is telling you want to do and when to do it, you expect to get paid. Reddit is making itself the boss of the mods.

The thing is, this is an entirely unforced error. Overwhelmingly, the natural interests of subreddits are aligned with Reddits business goals, or at least aren't in opposition to them. The horribly handled roll out of the API pricing has essentially backed mods into a corner, basically forcing them to protest and then extend the protest.

IDK, maybe this was all 4D chess, and reddit wanted to get rid of third party apps and have an excuse to purge moderators with a sense of ownership over the subreddits they moderate. But it sure seems to me like they just don't know what they are doing. I know reddit needs to figure out how to become sustainable (profitable), and changing the dynamic between reddit and third-party apps is likely a necessary part of that. But I can't believe disengaging moderators can possibly help.

>everyone always says this yet getting a mod to relinquish their position is nearly impossible.

There are certainly those, but not sure it is accurate to generalize to mods as a whole.
Good to get some validation that I seem to be mostly doing it right:

- I meet every two weeks which seems to be working for us.
- We rarely discuss sprint related work (team/process stuff does come up) mostly around vacations or other HR related stuff (reviews, etc), feedback from me (usually a 'good job' (since they are doing a good job!)
- We replaced all of our team meetings with a daily syncup https://www.honeycomb.io/blog/standup-meetings-are-dead/

We do seem to be missing some depth in grooming/planning, so I might try some smaller team/epic related meetings

Lastly I packed all of my 1-1s (including mine with my manager, we meet weekly) into Monday and Tuesday mornings, it's very busy those two days, but I feel I've freed up a lot of time in the rest of the week.
If the mods want to go on strike it's not a problem. What I am talking about is that the mods decided to drag the users into their issue.

I don't even use Reddit that often, I see that there is a vocal contingent that is telling me how Reddit is ruining Reddit.

If the company wants to kill their community, that is their prerogative. If it kills their company, that is what happens.
UX and UI design preferences notwithstanding, here's the list of bugs I regularly experience that drive me insane:

* Opening comments regularly takes 30-45 seconds, I sometimes think I mistapped, and end up with 2 post comments activities overlaid on top of each other

* Comments often open the wrong post comments

* Opening comments on a video post sometimes opens a non-loading video player with missing comments button, have to repeatedly re-open or try sharing the link to desktop in order to get to comments (assuming the next bug doesn't lose the post for you)

* Backing out of comments has a significant chance of returning you to the top of the feed instead of where you left off

* App just straight up crashes out of nowhere

* Autoplay settings don't seem to be reliable

* Another huge peeve of mine is due to the shared "video mute" setting in the video player, if you play a video with audio, the mute control may fade out and not return, requiring you to scroll to a different video, deal with the autoplay audio, and then hope you can use that video's mute button to get your feed muted again. This is especially annoying when the feed gets unmuted and I come across a video ad

I'm surprised by how many people say they use the official app without any issues, from my perspective it seems chock full of bugs, race conditions, and overall bad code. I don't know how people are managing to avoid these bugs.
If you are playing chess for therapeutic reasons I strongly recommend playing without time controls. Blitz is fun and lets you blow off stream but doesn't provide the same benefits as staring at a chess position for 20 minutes does. Training yourself to keep focused for long periods of time will improve your skill in other activities too. For example, when analyzing complicated software bugs.

The book was quite clear that Nell intuited the presence of a caring entity on the other end of the scenes. She was even able to determine sometimes whether or not it was present in a specific interaction, though she didn't have a clear model for what she was sensing or why it would be sometimes absent.

What are you skeptical about? How the scenario in the book would play out in real life? I mean it's sci fi we don't have nanotech either. But the text of the novel itself is very clear about the value/necessity of the nurturing actor. If you have another way to interpret the text I'm open to hearing it but the author makes it pretty unambiguous imo.
