The best part of reddit, for me, was that it focused primarily on the content, which had to be able to stand largely on its own. Usernames were attached to content, but they were secondary.

Other social media platforms are largely about the individual, the personality. The content, while present, seems to be secondary. Influencers run amok and are an advertisers wet dream.

Squabbles, self-admittedly [0], tries to combine these approaches.

When I look at their home page, as well as a few communities, the only thing that really stands out on each post is the "title bar" with someone's name and a follow link. There's no quick way to see what the content is about (unless it's an image), without actually diving into the meat of the content. I can't make a quick judgement call of whether I want to read the content or not, unless I base it on the person's name.

For some, that may be great. For me, it misses the mark and falls too far on the Twitter side of the hybrid approach.

If people find it a useful format, then I hope the site thrives. But I don't think it's the right fit for the niche that made reddit great.

No something Sherlock.
Sad. I'm surprised Domains wasn't rolled into Google Workspace.
Yeah I don't do that. Never have, never will :P You are correct of course under the new rules (that I refused to ever learn, which is fine since I don't need to write German any longer :)

Next thing you tell me the new rules for "das" vs "dasz" (sorry no umlauts here but I guess you get what I mean) after a comma make sense. The reasoning was that the new rules will finally make it easier for people to know when to write "das" after a comma vs. "dasz" which you now write "dass". No they don't, they just make the exact same mistake! It was never about the szett. It's all about the "das" vs "dass", which given I have no umlauts here I always wrote as "dass" anyway, since you can replace an szett with a double s.

Ich dachte mir schon, dass das Auto neu ist.

vs.

Das Auto, das ich meine, ist neu.

With the old rules, it would have been exactly the same, just that dass would be dasz. Bonkers!

Now I will give you the Stillleben and the Pappplakate and Schifffahrt make sense in a way. But they went all out, didn't they? Let's just allow Schiff-Fahrt and Papp-Plakate and Still-Leben as well. Donau-Dampf-Schiff-Fahrts-Gesellschafts-Kapitaen FTW! :P
What about compared to PoE in the first week it came out? D4 will get better as they iterate on it based on gameplay and feedback just like they did with D3 and D2.
Makes you wonder how google search is still so profitable when the quality of information it returns has gotten progressively poorer.
It's a really tough situation. I want both at the exact same time. But since that's not possible, I lean towards anonymity. Stuff that's published on the internet is out there forever. Because of automated tools that exist now and that will only get better in the future, it will be easy to surface.

And it's hard because there's so many ways someone could make connections that aren't immediately obvious. For example, I used to have my home's IP address set as a subdomain of the same one I use for email (for VPNing in). But later I thought about it and realized that anyone could easily look at the DNS records for my domain and know more than I really want them to.
Does anyone have an ELI5 for how to proceed? I have several websites that use this. What's the course of action required here, if any?
You know with an operating system you control that's built in an open source community, it's quite easy to have your cake and eat it too. It already exists in desktop land. We have the technology...
There’s a subtle difference.

Oil companies are not involved in direct last mile delivery. Electricity providers are already doing that.
Cryptomator suggests WinFSP for its Windows installation, MacFUSE for Intel Macs, and FUSE-T (the NFS FUSE implementation) for Apple silicon Macs. I've used all of them, and I've also used Dokan with encfs.

Both OSes treat network filesystems differently from local disks. The FUSE-T implementation is very speedy, but it shows up in the finder as a connection to "localhost", not as a properly named mount. In addition, macOS creates .DS_Store files on network drives by default (there is a setting you can change from the CLI to prevent this). On Windows, the filesystems can be mounted as local drives or network drives. When mounted as network drives, they can have issues with indexing and trust. All-in-all, drives you expect to function as local drives work best when they're actually local device filesystems and not network mounts.
I don't know, this can be solved with a parental controls equivalent. If Apple really put its heart in it it could solve all of these issues. But it wouldn't benefit Apple to solve them.

I missed this story earlier today. I appreciate it popping up even if it is a dupe.

Guess I'll have to transfer a bunch of domains now.
They probably didn't miss it, more likely haven't been impacted by the sheer number of dependencies in Next js. I know I haven't.
There is a balance between creating a separation between parents and self and living above one's means.

There's always Disney content. Who cares? There's plenty of other content.

The rise of distractions coincides with, or causes, the loneliness epidemic. People now are far more distracted than they were in 1950 or 1980.

People getting married later, having children later, and "childfree" views are contributing factors towards soft population limits that could have a genetic basis from an evolutionary psych perspective: when resources get scarce, people don't have as many kids.
The oil companies certainly do own the gas stations. Do you think BP, Shell, Exxon, Mobile, Phillips 66,, Marathon and Chevron are named after giant oil companies for no reason?
Why not? All that practice, they must have gotten pretty good at matrimony.

But more seriously - I don't see how you can remain marri.. federated, when one or more instances operates as a much more popular open relay.

I don't have the words for this, so please interpret charitably and correct candidly, but there is an expectation that each instance performs its own vetting and policing, so everyone can work together as individual fiefs without a central authority, and each piece can be as big or as small as it needs to be to sidestep that 'small unreachable team with enormous surface area' thing that we're doing so much of everywhere else? Yes?

If I have that right then this seems like a perfectly appropriate time to block with a similar emotional tenor as closing a water main to deal with a leak.

Passengers already know to not comply with hijackers. Since 9/11 everyone who has attempted something has gotten a beating and then restrained by passengers until an emergency landing could occur. I can't see an extra door helping much knowing that.

I only use RSS to convey the concept of a standardized syndication system, thus "like" being used rather than saying RSS itself....

But yes, what you say is exactly the point of what I'm talking about.

Some sites would focus on being the universal front end for casual browsing while others would focus on niche purposes such as moderation or unique content types/presentations.

The data would be stored with the user by default in my model, ensuring they have control of their content, and offloading a bunch of the delivery work from the front end site (essentially every users SSO becomes the cdn for their chunk of the content).

It has some problems but it's really not much different than now except it's easy as pie for people to get eyeballs on their content (does mean monetization has some issues, as it does now).

Imrambling.....
And work it does!
As a user of GCP it reads as a huge red flag to me that they offloaded this instead of rolling it into GCP.

Domains are a pretty core part of cloud infrastructure. The fact that they could have brought domains under GCP and didn’t makes me wonder what they know about the future of GCP that isn’t public yet.

Does this impact Google apps (or whatever their grandfathered personal email hosting/google drive is called now)? I hope it's just the registration component, but I think I should plan the move to another email/file sharing provider.

EDIT: Looks it is answered here. We become customers of squarespace for that too, so I doubt it will be free after this. Time to plan the move. https://support.google.com/domains/answer/13689670
Some of the low price NUC like things found on eBay are missing things like a 19vdc 4.5A external power supply, so expect that unless it's clearly called out in the auction.
Maybe "get a job" means "join a large organization that offers W2 employment", which is -- if not completely unique to the modern West (like, maybe you were joining the Qing bureaucracy, or the East India Company, or the Roman Army) -- is at least not universal. Even today, many parts of the world are much more about small proprietors and scrappy permissionless entrepreneurship. And there are still a few hunter-gatherers. In fact, many of the identities that defined America -- like, "homesteader" -- weren't exactly "getting a job".

You can also say that we really are conditioned, by education, to slot ourselves into organizations, identify who the teacher/boss is, and do what they tell us to.

So while the past required effort, I can see how OP (1827163) could have a point.

The difference is no one misses them.
I studied a bit of law in Uni in a non-US jurisdiction, and my personal observation seems to be that there’s a bias towards lenient law enforcement towards large corporations with well connected executives and board members.

You can say this is a result of corruption, which i agree, but it also seems to work to the US’s favor when it comes to global competitiveness of the big companies.

Large and powerful companies with unchecked power is bad for equality and fairness within the country, but those same companies are also given an “unfair” advantage when they compete with other countries’ companies.

I suspect this contributes to US being able to maintain their global influence, and is partly why Big Tech are all in America. If they were founded anywhere else, they probably would not have the chance or ambition to expand since they would have been regulated long before they grow to current sizes.

I definitely agree that this leads to the overwhelming corporate influence you mentioned, which is bad. Just pointing out another perspective from the national power front.
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago and the second best time is now. I for one will be moving off Reddit to the fediverse. Is it as good as Reddit?... no, but it could be better.
The dreaded walled garden is probably my favorite part of owning an iPhone.

There can be other reasons for walled gardens outside of capitalism.

specifically, how are those audio files bought from the M$ mu$ic store when they pulled the plug on the licensing server for their DRM?

your claim of still running on modern Windows would be impressive if it is actually true, but saying to use a completely different OS is not something the vast majority of people not typically reading HN are going to do.

> I caused like a 20-30% regression in JS performance on ARM by changing one atomic variable in the engine to sequentially-consistent instead of release-acquire.

Very interesting. Was this overall performance? What type of workload was involved?

Yeah it seems like acq-rel is the only other one worth keeping an eye out for. When using atomics you have different logical ops with a certain happens-before relation between them anyway. Figuring out whether these ops map to acq-rel seems like a reasonable task to take on, given the total effort. The main argument against it is lack of testing infrastructure (since indeed correctness is more important). With something like Loom (the Rust project) it’s significantly easier to prevent subtle bugs. I wish it was more widely available.
The Vision Pro is in the same position as the Mac was in 1984: overpriced, doesn't seem to do much and people don't understand what they might use it for. In a relatively new untested product category no less (VR goggles/personal computers).

But it's going to change the world.
What you are probably observing is that your email address is getting more attention from spammers not that the SPAM filters are getting worse.
Are you referring to the CastAR kickstarter or the more recent one?
The idea that this can even be something you'd reasonably have a bet on demonstrates his point. It's not a surefire thing that this will be a better experience than just using a laptop or desktop for most people.

Going back to the original analogy, while you could argue about the iphone in terms of price maybe, it was undeniable that it was flat out better than a feature phone in every possible way.
nice

My guess is that some kind of retractable grate will be installed between the bathroom and the passenger cabin.
How does something like this work with the rules on moving domains around quickly. Isn't there like a 6 month time out between moves?
Genuinely, yes. They aren't naturally overlapping interests for reasons that appear to be both cultural and about the topics themselves.

Which is unfortunate because I think some neat projects flounder for lack of good onboarding.
Yep. Just today I was working on a project that I started as a simple set of forms with HTML, CSS, and light vanilla JS + jQuery which over time has naturally accreted a bespoke event-handler framework (really not a bad one, all things considered), wishing I had just done it in React from day 1. Now we are battling complexity every day to support a highly interactive app and we're going to have to try convince the client to give us some time to refactor for some breathing room.
eventually, all of our conversations will read like prompts to an LLM of some sort
It's clear you haven't actually used an Android phone in 10 years.
UML isn't that bad but it isn't that good.

I was involved in a project based on OMG's Meta Object Facility. The MOF is a tiny system which was designed to be sufficient for bootstrapping an implementation of UML 2 but I found out that the bootstrapping is not so straightforward (I think you have to manifest some objects from UML 1 that doesn't exist in UML 2) and there are some chicken-and-egg problems to resolve but I think it would be possible to build something that, in several stages, can build a complete set of stubs for UML 2 itself as well as any objects defined inside UML 2. I got my project done without doing the whole bootstrap so I am still wondering... I've solved so many chicken-and-egg problems that nobody else has and it's earned me just about $0 and 0 cents.
I'm not an expert but my impression of the issue is like we are headed to (1) no matter what and they are trying to say that if we keep digging up and burning coal and venting or burning natural gas then we are in danger of reaching (2). But the headline says (3) and the deniers say (0).
Or the project didn't have a high enough ranking evangelist
Indeed. I have a Nokia 950 and in many ways WinPho was a really nice phone OS; Microsoft's endless jerking about of developers as it went 6.5 -> 7.x -> 8 -> 10 did it no favours.
I interpret that as a complaint about the UX, but I have almost the opposite take. The UX has its quirks, certainly, but - as a professional in distributed systems and a veteran of online forums going back to Usenet and even a bit before - I'm actually more concerned about the distributed-system parts. The inconsistency in what you'll see if you try to view a thread, depending on which instance you're looking from, is reflected in the UX but is fundamentally a problem with how Mastodon in particular connects to other instances and processes queues. The O(n^2) communication pattern that the fediverse generally seems to fall into - relays exist but seem very little used and not organized among themselves - is what I think will limit growth well before Twitter or Reddit scale. I don't think the problem is that the people who designed ActivityPub and the fediverse were experts in one area and novices in another. They were (trying to be kind here) still learning across all of the relevant areas. Some of them might be approaching expert level now, and other experts might have joined since the early days, but that only means the work to fix the protocols and implementations of those protocols can begin.
In my conversations with Google employees, no one actually wants to work there. There is little to no respect for the company. Turnover has been massive. Even folks that have been there for 5 years have 80% seniority.

The problem is not leadership or management. It is the owners. It is Larry and Sergey.
Apple doesn't track you to nearly the same extent as Meta does.

And yes Apple can't stop them since with Objective-C you can call any private APIs dynamically at runtime.
They took the ball and went home. Some went through the motions of having a poll to try to legitimize it, as if the community would rather just shut down their subreddit for good because the mods feel disrespected.
I guess we know Google isn’t serious about Google Cloud any longer… I feel like this product is table stakes for a cloud.

Does this mark a new transition for google leadership? Will google start to sell their unwanted businesses instead of just killing them?
It's not a traditional "paid product" where you can reduce cost, increase efficiency and/or take advantage of economy of scale. There are foxed ICANN fees per domain, most registrar add a markup on that, sell ownership data, auction popular expired domains, squat good names, etc. Google Domains (and Cloudflare) main spiel is they sell domains at cost as they make their money else where. It was intentionally a business that was never meant to make money.

It wasn't "the cheapest registrar" because they didn't offer "signup deals", just like cloudflare. Other cheaper registrar offer a signup deal for $1 or $2 a domain (subtext: renews for $24 dollars the next year)
Yea. That's the problem all along with walled gardens. Twenty years will go by and you'll find yourself unable to do the most basic thing becaused corporate control over an environment is a slow creep.
Windows today is unironically cement solid.

Windows XP incorporated more user-centric elements from 9x, which culminated with ME, into NT.

Windows 8 incorporated more mobile-centric elements from CE into NT.

Windows is still rock solid at running programs from almost 30 years ago.
But the point is that people still generally won't care. You can drastically improve the sound quality of a television for $1K, and most people don't do it. You could have 3d goggles for a while there for a similar price point, and no one did it.
I would assume nothing if you are okay with being part of the squarespace family. If you have issues with squarespace, then that's another story.
Windows Hello: Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2023-32018)
For f32, there is no sufficiently small P.

If it was a random 1/2^200 chance, I would not object to it for the random chance. But it would have to actually improve the program execution in a significant way before I accept it. I wouldn't accept "if rand() < P { NOP }" being stuck into every function without a tangible benefit either, despite how safe it is.

I didn't notice https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36330673 until just now but the first half sounds like you're agreeing with me. You can't remove the risk of solar rays, so you just have to live with it. 0% risk is an unreasonable standard. Certain things have to be outside your execution model, even though they're technically possible.

Small small chances of logic errors don't have to be outside your execution model, obviously. But if they're a lot rarer than the errors you have to ignore, then you get no benefit from including them in your execution model.

> if you want to make the assumption that secure_rand_u128 will never return 0, then you have to justify that assumption in the context of your specific use case -- it absolutely cannot be assumed in the general case

I can agree with this... but my use case is 99.9% of all computing in the year 2023. Normal computers are not reliable enough to measure the difference in error rate of an occasional 1/2^128 chance.
If she's coldly calculating, why did she share this potentially compromising info with you, and risk you accidentally burning her rep? (Did she trust you highly? Was there enough upside in showing off or mentoring? Did she have some liquid courage, so the calculations at that moment weren't as sharp as when she prepared the list?)

Do you think the mechanics of it might've been done out of humility, as a crutch for social anxiety/awkwardness? Or maybe she sees it as a performer, and people would appreciate her contributing to the overall experience of the event this way? It still wouldn't seem very honest to me, but more sympathetic than some cold-blooded person going for every edge of advantage in manipulating people.
You should stop building immediately. Find someone who would pay for your service right now (pre-ordering your product) OR find someone using your competitors service and find out if they like it, or need something better, build that better product and see if it coverts the competition.
I have to disagree. I moved from Android to an iPhone because I WANT a walled garden.

I need you to understand that I build my own PCs/gaming rig, have been in IT for years, and I've been a full time developer for decades.

The thing about the iPhone is that I DON'T have to think about it. Malware is VERY rare, MUCH more rare than Android, and I DON'T have to worry about...basically anything.

This is coming from a guy running 2 desktops and a laptop. A Windows desktop for gaming, a Linux Desktop for productivity, and a Macbook Pro for the day gig. Oh and I also have a Windows laptop for a mix of everything on the go.
Not a chance. This is more security theater, meant to remind people to be afraid.
All registrar domain transfers work the same: you pay for one extra year and then you can transfer. This means if your domain is registered to max years you can't transfer. Or that was my experience anyway.
