Accuracy, please.

During the peak of the last Ice Age (~20,000 years ago), sea level was ~120 m lower than today. As a consequence of global warming, albeit naturally, the rate of sea-level rise averaged ~1.2 cm per year for 10,000 years until it levelled off at roughly today's position ~10,000 years ago. [1]

The important part being things have been stable for a very long time wrt human history.

All our established patterns, infrastructure, agriculture, etc. risks being upended by relatively drastic change as a result of our activity as humans ... or not, if we recognise the causes and take action to mitigate.

Hanlon's razor.

Anyone who has used Reddit for any period of time (or basically any similar site, which includes FB, Twitter, and even HN), has seen data consistency issues during high load (like periods of activism). Shards die or fall out of quorum, work queues get purged, etc. That's the reality of systems with a lot of very low value data.

Eventually consistent, but also perpetually inconsistent.
Astroscale wants to be the world's space garbage collector
The (related) idea of a generation counter combined with an index handle for spatial and temporal runtime memory safety has been quite popular recently in the gamedev space:

- (shameless plug): https://floooh.github.io/2018/06/17/handles-vs-pointers.html

- Seb Aaltonen's recent engine design presentation (search for "Fast & safe object lifetime tracking"): https://enginearchitecture.realtimerendering.com/downloads/r...

Some gamedev engines probably invented a similar concept in parallel over the last two decades.

...having things like this baked into the language is quite a bit nicer of course, and should allow for better performance.
I would like to say yes but, if it's a comment being restored containing personally identifiable information of the person that deleted it than I would say no. With that said I believe you need to have a formal request to remove PII and I have some doubts if deleting or obfuscating a reddit comment you made qualifies as such.
Show HN: Chat with YouTube Videos by Appending 'Question' to the URL
I found myself copy and pasting youtube transcripts into chat to ask questions. This just automates that process, and works on mobile unlike some Chrome Extensions.
I do miss the discussion in some cases. I'm an NFL fan in the UK so I don't have a lot of other NFL fans around me. /r/nfl and /r/greenbaypackers were both great for providing me with a community of people I could discuss stuff with, in addition to the news aggregation thing. When the blackout started and I considered what I really got from Reddit, /r/nfl was the only thing really.
It also leaves out the political machinations that a conservative government was elected after the project had begun under a centre-left government and they continually interfered in the development until the original architect left the project in disgust.

After which the internals were completed by a set of "government architects" that did as about a good a job as you'd expect.

Not to mention that the original design had its own issues, including not actually being able to support proper opera theatrical performances due to the size and structure of the internals.
Suffice to say, there's a lot to unpack in there, and I have a long list of yard tasks to get done. A lot of what you're describing is gonna happen everywhere, it happened on usenet, it happened in web forums, it has always happened.

Now I come from a different viewpoint than you, and I have had a certain kind of view about what you're discussing here as it relates to the internet since way before Reddit existed. One historical example for me was the Seymour Duncan (guitar pickup company) web forum. In theory, electric-guitar focused and the official rules said no politics. That said, it was a nest of late 90s internet right wingers, including the legendary Lord Valve, who you can look up and watch an interview where he's wearing a confederate hat, so.

I spoke up once or twice and got told no politics, while others were ranting about commies.

So might suggest that if you see this is a reddit-specific issue, that might indicate that you have been living in a different sort of bubble.
There's truth to this.my best friend was bugging me to try his Quest 2 for probably a year before I relented and tried it on and understood.
Every European Reddit user should put in a full GDPR data request.

Assuming these are the tools and processes that build and deploy your main product, I don't understand this comment.

Sure, maybe some of the work isn't writing software. But some of it is, and it shouldn't be written by amateurs. Also, they are building these things for people who do write software. It would be hard to produce something that works for them without understanding what they do.

Excel on a phone is dog slow for some reason (seriously, I've run Excel on a Pentium II, you don't need this much CPU power) but the UI is fine.

Cells are large enough to comfortably interact with but not big enough to cause problems. The lack of space for UI hides a large part of the standard Excel ribbon, but there's absolutely nothing that prevents Excel from working on your phone.

Phone keyboards don't always need to be QWERTY. Setting flags on input controls to hide autocomplete or to focus on numeric/mathematic input is trivial. Microsoft Excel displays its custom keyboars optimized for formula entries for phones, with formula autocomplete available as well.

Word is dog slow as well, but Google Docs seems like a fine text editor for most cases. GDocs isn't that extensive a text editor to begin with, but you've got everything you need to type out a document. In fact, I think many people under thirty will be faster typists on the phone with autocomplete than in their keyboards sitting behind a computer. A whole generation is currently doing their homework on a phone!

I wouldn't want to program on a phone keyboard and tasks that need a lot of UI (like PowerPoints) probably aren't very comfortable either, but for Excel and Word you don't need a computer at all.

I don't know what office suite you've tried or what device you've tried it on, but it's really not as bad as you make it seem. It'll be terrible for someone who's used to working on a PC, just like using Excel is terrible for someone who's been working on phones their entire life.

Good article, resonate a lot with my experience.

When recruiters come by and say "I looking for a DevOps engineer" that's a big red flag: DevOps is not a job, it is a philosophy to be applied to all related jobs within the software supply chain! As idiotic as if people come by to present themselves as "Agile Engineers" or "Scrum Engineers"...

However: I do not think the DevOps philosophy is bullshit, far from it. Not perfect, like Agile methologies, meant to be bended and adapted. But once a month I hear stories from legacy ITIL-based organisations, which are point-to-point mentioned pain-points from "The Phoenix Project"...

Those education requirements almost always go out the window or can be ticked by passing Cisco certifications or something else vocational. (speaking from experience)

What I'm trying to drive home here is that you do need programming experience to be a good sysadmin/devops/platform; back when devops as a job title was becoming "a thing"(tm) I was told over and over again that sysadmins couldn't code and thus we need devops.

Now it seems devops don't need to be able to code (which you seem to think as well). So we will come up with a new term to cover programmers who understand systems.
Interesting. When I started I was told the idea is you apply operations principals to your developer workflows, i.e. your developers making code is as important as getting their code to production.
I've actually been thinking about building this sort of thing as a Chrome extension, a generic comment/tweet deleting app. More for privacy reasons than protest ones. The web based services that do this via APIs never seem to stick around long which is why a browser extension makes more sense IMO.

The AI thing is clever.
That was so chillingly accurate to my own experience I am actually baffled.

Someone needs to say what he's saying, might as well be him.

Much like many meetings should be an email, many youtube videos should be 400-800 word essays. If you're going to present that sort of information in an audio-visual form you need add some value above and beyond just the words you say, and I don't feel he does that.

I feel the same way several channels I subscribe to, like Gamers Nexus. Every time I watch one of their videos, I always come away thinking "that was some pretty useful information, I'm really glad they put in the work to make it available, I really wish I could have read it in a blog post"
Well said! I saw a chart on r/dataisbeautiful a few years ago showing that a small percentage of Reddit users ever comment or post. Most people just read content. I topped the front page a couple of times and I used to moderate a default sub. It's a huge amount of work. You don't need to lose many power users to change the feel of Reddit forever.

With that said, maybe Reddit management wants the site to change. In the future, this could be seen as a shortsighted failure or as an MTV-stops-showing-music-videos pivot to a different audience.

I really think they are just misunderstanding something. When I look at my profile, there's no comments, but I know there should be some. Isn't it more likely that when a subreddit you posted in goes private, the comments don't show up. The people in the linked thread ran the delete script after some subreddits went private. Now when some are made public again, so are their comments. Comments that were never deleted with the tool as they were hidden because of the subreddit being private.

Florida has been both completely submerged and prior to the ice age had much much more coast line. If you dig anywhere in Florida you can find evidence of it being the sea floor.

> with the result being that the oceans were about 400 feet (122 meters) lower than today. During the last global "warm spell," about 125,000 years ago, the seas were about 18 feet (5.5. meters) higher [1]

It helped that China could throw essentially an unlimited budget and unlimited workforce at the job.

It ended up incredibly over budget and the various state owned corporations have had to be bailed out.

On the other hand, China now has a rail industry that allows them to sell around the world.

So the ROI over time is probably good. China can invest for the long term.

As Deng said, when asked about the French Revolution being good or bad, "Too early to tell."
IaC was popular before Terraform, it's just the first tool that really made it easy to use. Unfortunately you can't make use of it outside of $BigCloud, because it needs common and well established API's to run. If your employer self-hosts, you're either stuck with Ansible or you host OpenStack yourself (which is just a surrogate $BigCloud, since you'll likely employ the services of RedHat to manage it).

Your sarcasm is not warranted, or needed...

You clearly did not read the story [1]

>>“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” he said

>>“If you’re a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents. So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders,” he said.

>>“And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.”

So clearly is thinks running a business (which is considers subreddits to be buisnesses) in a democratic way is grand.

> But I would argue there's no practical difference between "crash due to segfault" and "panic due to index overflow

One leads to undefined behavior and is potentially exploitable in a way that allows for full control over your program's execution. That's the difference.

No one is arguing that the bug you've described isn't expressible in Rust - it obviously is. It's just not what the borrow checker is for because the borrow checker is for memory safety issues, and you're describing a logical bug.
For me that would be:

repairing >> replacing > buying ...

I'm not sure where maintenance fits, I guess that's what "painting" is.
And we are still waiting on decent frameworks for this method of writing serverless services. I have 2 projects running like this with a cobbled together group of utils/helpers to make life easier. No routing layer or anything, that’s the job of SST/CDK/SF/etc, but things like a handler wrapper to handle errors uniformly, and other tools I regularly need (permissions checking, payload validation, etc).

I know some of that work can be done at the API Gateway/Lambda layer before it hits my function but I’ve yet to go down that rabbit hole, it always felt too limiting/rigid, I could and do move way faster in JS (TS).

I feel like we are on the cusp of it getting so much nicer and I have a blast working in this space. I absolutely love knowing my backend will “auto-scale” to whatever I need all the way down to $0 and even on the high end (at my scale) well under $10. My projects are for events (think festivals or “food week”) and so they are extremely bursty. They go months at a time with little to no traffic so “Serverless” and managed services that scale to $0 or near $0 are awesome for my needs.

> The knowledge is just transferable after all

Not exactly. I do agreed about the value destroying part. But unless the knowledge mentioned is standardized, it's not really easy to transfer them to the succeeding team members.

Some highly successful products (or features in these products) was created because the effort from one or two employees who got the idea based on their knowledge from life. Without these key employees, the product/features will never be implemented, and the success will never happen (and nobody will know it's possible).

It's the same way how CEO/CTO works, really. Some CEO lead the company to success while others failed, not because they're incompetent, but because the knowledge is not there, which lead to (for example) the lack of imagination and growth.

But unlike the leaders, employees usually don't receive nearly enough reward for their insight, if their effort is noticed at all. That's the dilemma.

Until recently, the Vatican web site would display in Latin if "Accept-Laguage: la" appeared in the request headers, but now the language has to be manually selected.

It doesn't leak memory, but the example use case of "high RAII" isn't about not leaking memory but that "the compiler can ensure you remember to do something in the future and don't accidentally forget it" and "remember to remove something from a cache that you previously added to" - which isn't actually done, because the consumer can call free and the data will still erroneously be in a cache, for example.
thank you for the explanation, I corrected it
This is so true.

My wife doesn’t understand how I spend my whole day complaining about fixing things (sys admin) for work then seem genuinely happy to work on a car, bike, random electronic thing, etc.

Completely different.

On the selfish side, I might actually get to enjoy what I fix at home.

On the brains are funny side, anything physical hits different. Turning a wrench, busting knuckles, burning myself triggers a satisfaction a screen does not.

I’m not a masochist either. Why is a soldering iron so hard to hold? Probably a me problem.

People downvoting this guy are misinformed.

There are two major sources for DevOps:

1) the 10+ deploys a day talk from Flickr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdOe18KhtT4 which is where most of the actual methodology comes from.

2) The "DevOps Days" (first use of the portmanteau by Patrick Dubois) which was an agile conference aimed at Systems Administrators trying to get them to work more agile; the conference was called "DevOps" to make developers think it was also for them.

Neither of these primary sources said that we should erode or replace ops people; or that it was ever intended to be a role or individual responsibility. This is a lie that corpo's have made to reduce headcount.
> Will this go down as the fastest suicide of a social media company?

While that would be nice, I doubt it. The quality of content might suffer and smaller subreddits will finally be where large ones have been for a long time, but for the vast majority of users who doomscroll and share memes, nothing much will change and reddit will continue.
Can English-speakers understand Beowulf? In terms of time, if not linguistic distance, it's much closer!
Wow, I just tried this out with a query that is answered by a video that I recently made. It showed not only my own video, but also several others I hadn't yet seen.

Previously, I had already tried using YouTube's searching tool to find videos for this, but didn't come up with much. Your tool returned several results I had not seen before, and they look super laser-targeted. REALLY impressive work! This is insanely cool, and FAR better than YouTube's search algorithm. Very very well done!

I'm interested in doing a similar YouTube indexing project (but indexing with pose detection rather than semantic segmentation) -- do you have any guidance for people wanting to do a similar project?
The attempts at "real public conversation" led to passive or active mockery anyway. Consider, for example, ManBearPig.
