I think if everyone around you is changing the definition of a word, then it is fair to say it doesn't have any meaning anymore. Either if everyone around you is using it in same way, then you adapt. Or if everyone has different meanings, then it is meaningless.
Reddit went down the drain for several years. Several communities were nuked over years. It needs to die!

Sorry reddit search does not work for you. But moderators did that, not Reddit! There is 2 TB reddit dump on internet, there are services that provide search over that.
> Their replacement may be better in the vector that they click the "public sub" button, but almost certainly worse in the vector of actually caring about their community over the long-term.

It very much depends on the sub. There are some mods heading big subs who are power hungry jerks who do it for all the wrong reasons. Their replacements could well be better.

Obviously many will be worse also, but I think reddit admins will do at least some level of vetting before assigning new mods.
Promoting Employees Randomly Is Demonstrably Better

I don't really work in enterprise sales, but I always thought the idea was to lure em in with low prices. Going from free to $2.50 a user??

I also don't totally get why "by user" is how they wanted to charge. Wouldn't charging by request make more sense?
How do you know if you will like something without trying?
sounds good will try to implement that
A couple years back, my $3000 MBP randomly died. It was around a year old. I had to take it to the Apple Store. They couldn't fix it. They had to ship it some place else for repair. I was out $600 and a week with no work computer. If you depend on a computer for work and can't afford to be without for extended periods of time, it seems to me that you'd want one that was actually repairable.
Yeah, change your master, the next one may probably treat you better and give you some meat on Sundays.

I wouldn't trust Huawei any more than I trust Alphabet.
Delete Suite's main feature is actually that it edits your comment to be junk, rather than just deleting it. I come across some corpses linking to it every now and then.
I think the disagreement here is about what happens when you mess up.

In C, if you have a UAF, the attacker likely owns your entire process. They can call any function with any arguments. They can modify entirely unrelated objects. Your backups get encrypted and your secrets show up on dubious websites. You lose, badly.

If you roll your own arena in Rust and you “UAF” a struct, you either panic or you continue executing, with a correct control flow graph, with no language-defined UB. The attacker can do only what your code can be convinced to do. Sure, if you implemented an entire VM based on your arena, maybe the attacker can convince your VM to encrypt your backups and leak your private data. But this only happens if your VM can do that in the first place. If your code just draws creatures in 3D, then all the attacker can do is mess with the creatures.
Is Techradar always an unreadable mess? At one point while scrolling only around 5-10% of the screen was actual article content -- almost a third auto-play videos and the entire background an Azure ad.
> In Twitter's case users are still part of the product as the existing network effects

This is a nitpick. I'm speaking from the POV of keeping the site running, or not resorting to changing the site's essence to please advertisers.
If it’s not visible to other users or paying LLMs then it’s worthless. That’s what I’m getting at.
Strong incentive also exists to undelete.
Not necessarily. The source of funding for social security was an arbitrary decision. We could fund it with a wealth tax.
Eh, it's totally fair to draw a connection between Guillain-Barre, myocarditis, etc, and vaccination. They are all fundamentally the immune system overreacting and attacking your own tissues, and the vaccines are provoking an immune response. There's a clear mechanism for this to happen, so it's not shocking or a mystery.

The reason we accept this risk and get vaccines anyway is that all of these same conditions occur at higher rates when you are naively exposed to a virus. Myocarditis rates, for instance, are roughly 10x higher in any age group when you get COVID (without a prior vaccination or infection) than if you get a vaccine.

So if you aren't likely to be exposed to a particular virus, it's totally reasonable to not get vaccinated for it, just because there are side effects. I haven't been vaccinated for any of the various tropical diseases, for instance, because I don't travel anywhere. I haven't been vaccinated for rabies, because I'm not a vet and don't go spelunking. There's no point in rolling the dice on side effects when I have essentially no chance of contracting the diseases.

Once it became clear that everyone is going to be exposed to COVID, you stopped having the option to avoid rolling the dice on myocarditis or other immune-system disorders; it's just a matter of whether you want to roll the dice with a vaccine, or wait and roll them with your first infection, and have 10x the likelihood of getting hit with one of them.
One thing I wondered, when I sae footage of a warehouse full of collectors art: why a warehouse and not a public museum?

Yes, it does boil down to the language runtime.

But that doesn't change the fact that they don't reproduce half of what LiveView can do.

They didn't have to call themselves "LiveView for Ruby!"

I meant it more as a PSA: if you've tried any of these other projects, you still owe it to yourself to give LiveView a try!
And they probably use adblockers too.
"Knows someone" means that the someone they know liked them enough to recommend them. Hiring an unknown person with more skills is taking a gamble on personality?
OCI is a standard that supports layers (and cache thereof), hashes and has a verified way of sharing (via OCI image registries).

A .zip is much more monolithic, and there are no ready-made .zip registries you can upload your .zip to that will automatically checksum it, or allow it to be delivered in layers (and skipping the layers already present on the registry/destination).
Yep, you can think of it as overlapping circles in a Venn diagram, or if you prefer T-shaped people, imagine an entire 4-row block in Tetris. How do you fill out expertise in the entire domain but also have broad knowledge of it across the team. The business side hates it because people with expertise aren't interchangeable widgets they can throw at any problem.

/r/minecraft has 5 million subs.

17k people voted > 59% on go full private. So 10k people decided over 5 million. Sure there are powerusers and casuals, lurkers who never comment etc. but to say that it's a "community decision" is far from truth when you can't even make 1% to vote

WhatsApp is fundamentally different from Reddit. WA matters if the people you want are on that platform or a different one. Reddit has a network-effect but you care less about specific people and more about content/discussion. If my brother in law is on WA then I might have to be on WA, Reddit is much more fluid. If somewhere pops up with enough content/participation then I'm good to move.

The other major difference is content. On WA you only care about the content your direct friends/family create, on Reddit the masses are dependent on a few to submit comment (and even comment, there are a ton of lurkers who never comment, might not even up/down vote). If WA content goes to shit you can tell your BIL to stop sending you crap, if Reddit content goes to shit (due to loss of power users or moderation) it's a much harder problem to solve.

The WA exodus always struck me as way too difficult, getting friends/family to switch messaging platforms is super hard. Reddit? Might be unlikely but I was in the Digg->Reddit migration and I'm 100% looking for where I want to move now that Reddit is acting this way.
That's impossible. You can't see comments you made in private subs, therefore you couldn't have deleted them.
Isn't this potentially a safety risk? Some people have deleted comments due to accidentally posting personal information and some people are also genuinely at risk from real-world harassers and stalkers.

Having said that - people are scraping and archiving Reddit all the time for both good and not so good purposes - so maybe it's not a big deal?
Ah, I was under the impression Google and Apple had created their own separate apps and these third-party apps merely worked on the same principle. It's interesting that the document you linked indicates the interoperability between different countries' apps was down to an EU-wide standard. I guess this meant the apps of different EU countries were compatible but only with each other.
> The pointless adding of content to the internet is annoying as hell, but given that ChatGPT is able to create fairly cogent answers for a majority of queries it's, I'm frankly surprised Google isn't better.

Yeah, and its not even that hard. Google could "interrogate" images or even website screenshots for keywords with open source tools. And YouTube is a juggernaut of speech-to-text and video analysis.

I know nothing about Google's innards, but I would guess decision makers aired on the side caution when dealing with their golden goose, rather than focusing on image and context analysis.
okay good idea thinking about adding 3 lives and once the user guess 3 images wrong they lose and at the end it shows how many they got right!
It is in this case. They don't "need" the data themselves, they need Googlebot to see it to get traffic, which is their lifeblood both in general and for IPO.

Have you heard the recent popular saying that Googling things barely even works anymore unless you append reddit to the query, which tends to bring up actual information instead of SEO trash?
Can't we let an LLM solve this problem? A nice feature for Copilot?
There is no trace of any release of CO2 in the atmosphere at the pace we have managed for a century now. None! There are releases over much longer periods, with massive observed impacts. Humanity will scrape by in Groenland, Antarctica... Unless Geo-Engineering saves some and buries others.
Maybe read the book "Termination Shock" ?
Good. Let it burn. It couldn't happen to a more deserving team of sociopaths.
Initially the idea seemed to be Libressl has better development practices => fewer bugs. The idea was this pays for a compatibility price. I think that didn't pan out very well longer term.

He is truly shattering his Peter Principle...
This.

But you know what? There are tons of developers who are _perfectly fine with this_! There are tons of developers who just want to write business code in their CRUD webapp and call it a day, the more abstractions you can give them, the happier they are. And while I don't like it, I don't blame them.
My uncle has been in and out of prison for 30 years after his drunk dad sent him to jail as a 17 year old for writing a check in his dads name.

The stupidest part is that the """"justice"""" system never trained him or let him learn to drive. So every time he gets out he has to go to impoverished city centers where he meets right back up with the groups that eventually get him back in prison.

He could've made a fine career of being a truck driver if America wasn't so stupid.

These types of articles are frustrating because it helps the public feel good about themselves when they have a decades long disaster rolling around with no change.
Stop calling it 'climate change', the correct (causative, descriptive) phrase is 'fossil-fueled global warming'. Industry PR types worked hard to relabel the phenomenon because the former is a blander term that doesn't explicitly point the finger at the root cause.

As far as normals, the warming rate is slow enough that it takes about ten years (running average) for conditions to notably change. See this 'staircase of denial' tweet.

https://twitter.com/mathiasced/status/1616348855842250754?la...

This is a hard problem for human civilization because 'taking action' today - i.e. replacing all fossil fuels with renewables on the fastest imaginable timeline (about three decades of constant heavy lifting at best) won't affect the rate of warming much for the next 100 years or so, we'll be seeing +0.1 C per decade at least for that timeframe on average (higher at the poles, lower at the equator).

I suppose 'normal' is what humans get used to, as once some phenomenon has been the same for about a decade, people start calling it normal. This is a flaw in human cognition, resulting in poor capacity for truly long-term planning.
Arguably the perception of the size of their knowledgebase is more important than the actual size, at least when talking about the upcoming IPO.
Oh hi! I'm a big fan of your website (obviously). Any tips on making the small cubes more similar to yours? :D
IIRC with additional rounds of funding Conde Nast/et al are no longer majority shareholders and have lost some control of the org.
I have to admit that one of the best computers I ever owned was a pink netbook I bought in a hurry when I was short on cash. It was great for ham radio because of the long battery life (log your contacts when you are operating out of a tent.)

Once i swapped out the HDD for an SSD, it became a great car computer (for the passenger) because it had a power supply that would plug into the cigarette lighter. I'd use it to play music and, with a Bluetooth GPS and Microsoft Streets and Trips it was a much better navigator than any handheld, car or phone navigator I've ever used.
"I find reading legal documents mind-numbing"

My wife is a lawyer and I find her capacity to make sense of very complex and large documents quite amazing - particularly as there is no debugger, no unit tests and the execution environment is unpredictable!
Seconded.

Sounds crazy, but the more you look into it [0]... And don't forget the blackmail! You know, which Huffman projected onto Apollo's developer, even after being proved a liar by Christian's recordings.

This is actually quite important, because Huffman and 'maxwellhill' go way, way back.

How did Elon and his companies dealt with this?
Spectre marks the beginning of a new bug class. It's more like "to write secure program on processors with speculative execution you must not do A, B and C". New processors fixed known bugs in the implementation of the silicon itself, but some of them can only be fixed in software.

If we imagine, say, /r/funny as a Fediserver, it'll need to be ready for 8 figure MAU, if not 9.

You make a good point about leverage.
I remember when I was a kid, being on a family vacation, driving up I-15 in Idaho. At one particular place we topped over a hill, and the road was straight from there to an overpass across the road way down in the distance. I wondered how my dad could aim so well that he'd go under that overpass all the way down there.

Now I know that he didn't aim that carefully. Instead, he kept steering.

Estimates are estimates. Sure, try to get them approximately right. (By the way, you can't get better if you don't close the loop. Look at estimates vs. reality on your own estimates in the past.) But even good estimates will only be somewhat close to right. You need management that will steer all along the road from estimate to reality. You also have to give them the feedback information so that they can steer.

Your estimates shouldn't be off by a factor of 10. "Off by a factor of two" isn't great, but it's not horrible - though they shouldn't always be off by a factor of two in the same direction. If management understands that that's what they're getting, and they know how to work with that, fine. If they think they're getting much more precision than that, that's a management problem.

(This is an oversimplification. For some kinds of work, you or your team or company has done that kind of work many times before, and you can easily be more accurate than a factor of two. Other times you need a research project just to identify the parts involved, then another research project to discover whether you can solve those parts, then yet another research project to be able to estimate how long those parts will take. Then you can give an estimate, and it still won't be a very precise one.)
That's true if you talk about content posted on those subs. But I'm yet to be banned from a conservative sub just because I'm involved in wrong other sub.
I once posted on a sub criticizing vaccines, my post was not even friendly to the post- I was debunking flawed logic. And I got autobanned in few other places just for posting there.
I'm unfamiliar with Box, but many of these services have versioning/snapshot on the server side and would allow rolling back changes.
I've been using Shreddit for years, and thus far, all my deleted comments and posts have not shown back up.
Same here. I also thought if I deleted my FB account, they would just maintain a “shadow profile” for me.
I think trying to present the topic in an interesting and engaging way is worthwhile.

But thinking you can get 100% students interested in it is probably unrealistic. I don't think you can get all the students interested in any given topic, so why think of this as a failure? Getting a decent number of students interested is good enough. Getting all of them? Unrealistic.

I don't even think this is a failure of the students. Coding isn't universally interesting. It's ok to find it boring, through no fault of either the teacher or the students.
Lucid comment. Yes, always approach moderator, admin, other similar role candidates first. Some of the ones asking are going to be great. The trouble lies with the rest, who should never have the role.

Long ago, that was how I became a sysadmin. I still remember some of the talks. Great stuff on how to take good care of users, systems, other things.

On Reddit, people asking to moderate has generally been a bust in my experience.
Amazing how reddit seemingly fast derailed all good that it had going for it. I propose another plan, it's even better; Let the highest bidder become a mod of a closed sub. Just go full out with it, and then on top of that also ask mods to pay monthly or yearly price to upkeep their mod status - let them bring in advertisers themselves to the sub, but also take cut in that too. I can think of a few more even more terrible ideas if you want.
> Reddit's owner and funding itself--Condé Nast

Condé Naste is a minority investor in Reddit. They have one Board member, as many as Y Combinator.
Most people dont even know about old.reddit. new users never hear of it, most of old users got served the redesign and just went with it. I bet only minority knows and actively uses old.reddit. its insane
Some are harping on the sentence before this, but this is absurd:

> How awful it is to reduce human connection to that. To think that I am only allowed to maintain certain social connections as long as they continue to produce monetary value for an intermediary.

You are definitely allowed to form connections outside of the internet. That's where many of the best ones are.
> The funny thing is that this is all over a stupid API that was causing more harm to Reddit than it was functioning as a public service.

Better: it's about introducing pricing for said API without proper advance, so apps consuming it couldn't in turn adjust their pricing because they had plenty people on annual subscriptions.

With enough forewarning the market would have adjusted to the new pricing, but that didn't happen.
Its getting to the point now where I'm never going to buy an iPhone simply because getting excluded over a green bubble seems like a good way to filter stupid people out of your life.
> Let’s get rid of devops and hire platform engineers. The problem is it’s a really weird and rare combination of skillsets, in a field no one really wants to do except complete weirdos (I am one)

TIL about platform engineers. But I'm still unsure what kind of things they produce. I know that they basically create a self-service organisation-specific infrastructure that can be used by developers inside an organisation to deploy software. But how does this self-service look like? Do developers fill in a web form to automatically get a server with the right firewall rules?
A strange conclusion for something that has been around for so long. It's a bit like saying the horse-drawn carriages are no good because cars.

When UML was released, waterfall was pretty much the only model for Development and was understandably slow, expensive and risky. UML with processes like UP were used to bring in some order and standardisation to the picture. I used to use it a lot and it was really annoying because I just wanted to code but even in the early 2000s, release cycles were long (2-4 weeks) and mistakes would take a long time to spot and rework.

Like all tools, we didn't always use it and we didn't always add 100% detail but we did use it. I don't use it as much any more because code is quick to produce, quick to review, to merge, to fail and to rework. That doesn't mean we shouldn't design up-front but there are many more use-cases where the time and effort of design is just not worth it.

I still use class diagrams sometimes, although they are not really something specific to UML but I have also used state diagrams, again for specific scenarios, but let's just understand tools and decide when and where they are useful.
I don't think there's reason for CN to feel threatened beyond reddit. The public at large does not, would not, care. Power users might try boycotting for whatever that's worth.

This was really the only viable vector for redditors who care about the changes.
Why Developers do not use Webhook Gateways today
The entire article can be summed up the same way you can sum up bad security products: DevOps isn't something you buy or make a department out of, it's something you do, or better yet, it is a method.

DevOps is fine, bad DevOps is pointless. Just like microservices are fine, but bad microservices are pointless. Same way bad metrics towards business owners causes you to seem to add no value (which goes both ways).

That said, you can still find plenty of job postings for 'DevOps Engineer', which is part of the problem. But I suppose culture changes are hard...
okay that sounds good! will give it a go!
Don't we? It just looks like a new culture establishing itself instead of something that happens in the circumstances of the collapse. There was the early history of the Roman Republic, High Middle Ages in Europe, the Puritans in America. The Victorian era in England feels like a moral uptick that wasn't an entire new culture or nation.
> Text forums have effectively been solved ever since NNTP was invented.

The unsolved problem is moderation. Reddit mods are partly protesting because the official app's moderation features suck. And Lemmy just had some defederation drama because their moderation tools can't handle the spam bots.

Powerful moderation tools will be the killer feature of Reddit's killer.
Pretty sure this is an egregious GDPR violation.
The subtext under the headline seems direct enough:

>When it comes to the climate crisis, new normals convey a single, grim message: instead of acting, get used to it

The idea is to stop calling things "The new normal" since that implies acceptance. Fight instead. Don't go along with the idea that the world has to be like this.
