Why is charging money for the app sketchy? If users are willing to pay for the app then clearly it’s providing real value to them.

As long it’s clear to the user that they could get the experience for free by visiting the website I don’t see what the problem is.

With that said, I think it’s totally fair for HN to ask the app/user to pay for their API access too.
And then many of my employers use or used it as employee number (or last 4), and same passed an attendance sheet with my full name n last 4 of social around.
It is not even engineering.
A lot of software devs have become slaves on the alter of Agile software development. A senseless machine that only cares about the number of your JIRA tickets, and making sure your agile shibboleths like standups, retros, sprints and etc are conducted.

You can look at gogle - the company that has never produced any useful product beyond a few of search/ads, youtube, gmail, and maybe google docs. Thats it. Nothing more.

and gogle is considered very efficient in its engineering processes, that entire industry copies it.

meanwhile the most disruptive innovation comes from small teams that dont care about formalized rituals and jsut focused on execution and coding, they dont need PM, TPM, and Agile Coach, and Engineering manager to deliver value

Isn’t his opinion basically irrelevant since he is someone like Musk that has zero concept of WLB.
Sorry but why do you think I'm trying to convince you of anything at all?

I was asked why I no longer consider Carmack a hero, and I gave my reasons. I don't really care if you believe me or not.
Why don't you start up a new subreddit, and let in the thousands of people begging for it to reopen? Nobody's forcing you to stare at the "this sub is private" page all day if you're pissed about people actually using what little power they have to fight back against a corporation trying to monetize the way you and your community socializes.
> Shouldn't that give you a pause?

No; It's completely consistent with my model. America is more advanced by a huge margin. It's also evidently a more desirable place to live; the Germany-to-USA migration rate is something like 3x the other direction.
Luckily for me, I'm not.
The fact is that they are, and thinking otherwise demonstrates that you don't fully understand how most people on reddit utilize subscriptions. Subscribing to a subreddit is most frequently done so that posts from it can occasionally appear on your front page and nothing more. I would think of the community as the group of people that actually post and comment in a subreddit, and I fully believe that to be <1% of subscribed users.
For sure. I've had devices slow down from storage wearing out as well.

I think our Canadian cabal is doing everything it can to speed up global warming. We have the dirtiest oil in the world (Alberta Oil Sands) and we essentially based our economy on extraction.
And Reddit already sells Reddit Gold, users could pay with it for the privilege to use the API on any third-party client. Everything so far points as Reddit deliberately killing third-party apps.

Greetings! I am here to derail the thread with a remark about "organic chemistry" versus "organic foods".

Sometimes being there first doesn't mean you get to use the simplification forever. Cryptography is an older thing than cryptocurrency, but both are unwieldy to pronounce and have been simplified to "crypto". Since cryptography is math and cryptocurrencies (in the "popular" sphere) is a get rich quick scheme, the abbreviation that works for both generally became applied to the latter.

I am sure organic chemists are a little weirded out when people tell them "oh yeah I love those new strawberries we got". This is that.

I deleted my Reddit account today. Six years old with 7k karma and some coins I've paid for. It's clear the CEO will do anything to trample over moderators and developers to get what he wants.

I don't have another place to move to. I did sign up for some Lemmy servers, but I'm afraid the fragmentation due to how servers federate with each other will lead to smaller communities.
My wiki also got affected by the harddrive. They send out a message with everything they knew pretty much immediately even to people not affected by the error and continued to update as they learned more. Not sure why you seem to think it took "weeks". For a volunteer-run service they've actually been quite on top of it and compassionate in my experience

> If you only have seven good hours a day in you, does that mean the rest of the day that you spend with your family, reading, exercising at the gym, or whatever other virtuous activity you would be spending your time on, are all done poorly?

If I do focused mental work for even seven hours I'm completely wiped. I absolutely can't read a normal book at that point. Clicking the next meme on reddit is about all I can manage. And yeah, my wife and kids aren't getting a lot from me on those days.

I'm surprised that Carmack seems to find this absurd. Am I super atypical? Or is he? I'm actually curious: after let's say 5 hours of in-person interviews, do most people come home and fire up the CAD software to work on rockets or whatever, like Carmack, or do they hang out on the couch vegetating and feeling like they have a minor hangover or head cold, like me?
It's nice to have in-band signalling in addition to out of band.
So what you're saying is that anyone in the military loses their human rights.
I had figured it was not exactly technical burnout in running Mediawiki installs but regulatory burnout in following Euro GDPR/cookie banner/bullshit-of-the-now requirements. Some of them are easy but the rest phase in once you reach a certain scale of users (which it sounds like they probably have).
Disagree. 80 hour weeks is not sustainable so if you are basing your startup success on that than you are doomed.
I'd love to see some good links/resources to read up on this area more. What are all the feedback mechanisms the CA ecosystem uses to resist subversion and bad actors?
If this is a priority for you, you could vote with your wallet and purchase a fairphone next time your current phone dies. They provide fairly long software support and always had replaceable batteries.
Which is usually called "necroposting" and is universally frowned on for... some reason. I never really got why, but on-line communities are strange beasts, and most tend to have a culture actively opposing accumulation and surfacing of knowledge.

Conspiracy to get someone to commit a crime.

To frame them.
Is more hours more work, though? If so, on what basis?

Frequently when the team was crunching at work, the result was that people had to bring their personal lives into the work hours in order to be able to actually stay at work longer, whether it meant making personal phone calls (because they couldn't postpone them until home), or even bringing their kids into the office for a few hours before going home. That was not Productive Work Time.

Similarly if someone comes in to work while sick, I don't think you can argue that those 8+ hours spent working with a cold or the flu are going to be at full productivity, and then they probably make their coworkers sick too.
Before we standardized on micro USB, lots of phones had ports easily three times the width of USB-C. We were ok with that back then, so why would two USB-C sized ports next to each other be so bad? In return, all your gizmos and chargers continue to work in the transition period.

Or, just make the new port a barrel connector like a headphone jack, just with more segments. Bonus points if you can plug in an actual headphone and it works. Nobody seemed to have a problem with a headphone jack next to their USB port.
Ok this is extremely wrong on so many accounts.

1. Firstly how is it 4.6k / month, it should be more like 8-9k per month. I work in Seattle which is lower tax but also lower base and I get 8k per month as a new grad. So no you can easily save 4K a month, not 1.2k. The authors numbers are closer to that of a grad student that I also was.

2. Next, the main thing this article gets wrong, no you’re not going to become a principal engineer in Google in 16 years. L5 is terminal in Google, though with recent level inflation, a smart ambitious grad can reach L6 in 6-8 years (though much longer is common). Anything beyond that is not guaranteed, even if you spend long hours working very hard. Google is annoying in the sense that the promotion is far more political than it needs to be with a committee and whatnot that I often find it to be a shitshow but even if you take a much more results oriented company like say Apple, going beyond ICT5 is not easy. As an engineer the main thing that gets you promoted, is either solving a really hard technical challenge that the rest of the organization was struggling with. By definition these problems are hard, long hours won’t solve them. You also need to have an intuition of what’s solvable and what’s not, there are a class of technical problems in the organization which might essentially be impossible to solve with the current knowledge we possess and you can easily waste years of your life with nothing to show. I see few people who rise up like this and they are all exceptionally brilliant. The second way, more doable for the average engineer is to bring a product to the masses that’s moderately to highly successful. This requires luck, timing the market and good management skills to get something out there, you need to be the reason Google chrome exists etc. Both these pathways require more than just hard work, they require you to pick up a lot of skills and most importantly they also require luck. Sometimes you can be brilliant, use the right strategy etc and still have your product fail/ not solve the problem.

TLDR; going beyond L6 is not easy and most won’t reach there in their career
Obviously; I was asked why I don't consider him a hero any longer. That will, by definition, reveal more about me...
Considering people make a hobby of shooting tiny clay disks out of the air with shotguns, and anyone can buy a pump action 12-gauge for less than $500, I don't see how a DJI style drone can be a threat to someone who's prepared themself. (Unless it's already photographed you.)
> knowledge that the teacher should, in theory, be imparting

I get that teachers at high schools are not subject matter experts, but it blows my mind that they're expected to teach topics that they themselves do not understand.

I come from a family of teachers and I've seen the effort that some of them put in behind the scenes to learn these topics, and they do have the best of intentions, but if I was a parent and found out my kid's teacher was all "I don't know this topic so you guys just do whatever" I'd be a bit peeved as well.
You don’t have to go that much farther north and still have similar weather. Look at the interior of BC from Vernon to Prince George - huge amount of undeveloped land with moderate winters. Same with Calgary to Edmonton (both have crappy weather IMO but tons of space to develop and fill with people who would otherwise accept Calgary / Edmonton winters), etc etc etc.
They are not exempted, the text of the regulation is very clear. You must be confusing it with something else.
It's not legitimate? As I said, being watched != being recorded.
The derivatives market is like if they let you buy insurance on anyone without ah insurable risk.

So I could decide that I think your house is likely to burn down, so I buy insurance on it.

That's what enables the gambling. If the only people who could buy puts or calls were people who had insurable risks in the underlying; it would be a lot smaller market and less gambling.
Why would 30 and 30 be the worst case? You could have drawn a statistically improbable first ball, no? E.g. in your 59:1 example, you could have drawn the 1 rare ball.
Drivers / firmware aren't quite the right solution. They're tied to obsolete android, so they'd still be useless.

They should have to provide documentation for every IP block in the device, source code for any drivers, and the ability to unlock the bootloader.

This would make it easier for people to back-port modern android / iOS, or just run linux on old devices.
#1: A wealth tax on wealth exceeding a certain amount of a couple percent a year. Chances are they can grow it faster than that.

#2: Plenty, and do incentives really matter from $100B to $200B? They’re going for high scores at that point, not needs.

#3: Sure it’s created. I don’t think the distribution is correct with regards to who’s doing the creating.
media wiki's a particularly complicated thing to host and I don't think there's anything else quite like MiraHeze currently. It's been used by everything from video game wikis to casual conlangers to even some state governments so I'd say it's a pretty big deal
It was the "#". I didn't realize that about the behavior in the middle of a token, and apparently the syntax colorizer doesn't either.

If every twitter employee made $150k, that would be about $1B with 7k employees. So at most 20% of revenue could have gone to paying salaries. Some layoffs may have made sense to adjust for post-covid but elon is obviously a cruel idiot being cruel to prove a point. He could have instead kept advertisers happy and moved infra to on-prem. Even if I am wrong and Elon was right, he could have taken 2023 to slowly reduce workforce in a way that didn't piss off users and advertisers. He is a terrible businessperson even if you don't give a shit about users or reputation and all that because he didn't value his money well and didn't look after Twitter's bottomline.

Even if his goal was to turn twitter into a conservative friendly place, he is so blunt, obtuse and uncalculating that he reminds me of Dr. Evil in his silliness. Is the reddit CEO trying to be "mini-me"? Birds of a feather I guess.

I get the netflix type of pissing people off, business is business. Even with Reddit, that was my perspectice, their api, who cares if they want to ruin it. But I gotta say, there are ways to cleverly backtrack and still appear to be in control.

For example, introduce tiered pricing and a free tier for api keys that are restricted and tied to a specific user account with limits in the number of subreddits under that user's control. Basic divide and conquer, please the volunteer mods and continue to piss off the for-profit front-ends. And then add pricing to the free tier after a year. Boil the frog slowly and all.

Their lack of sophistication really amuses me, how can people like this even manage to become a CEO? Must be whatever gives them confident to be so arrogant to begin with.

> That's also the reason why any recipe you find on the internet is buried at the bottom of the page.

I mostly agree with what you said in your comment, but you're wrong here. Ad monetization is the reason for recipes being at the end: it's related, but not directly Google's fault.

Having the actual content at the bottom means the proprietor can serve more ads interspersed with filler content, and since it takes longer to read the page, most visitors will stay longer than a few seconds decreasing the bounce rate (which improves SEO, amd more importantly, means you get paid for the ads as the time spent will hit the time-threshold for an ad impression)
Are the posts you deleted currently still deleted? Were they deleted within the last 5ish years?
One thing to note is that levels are triangle shaped. Not many break the L6 barrier. I know people who have been L5 for over a decade.

It didn't even answer the question though...
I concur as a Canadian with all of your points but the last one feels like it is in a different territory, nowhere near as relevant systemically as the others. More flavour of the day, gotta fill the news cycle. We Canadians unfortunately focus on this nonsense rather than protest in the streets about the important stuff, namely your other points.
Hi throwaway, ask your mouse bound colleagues to rename the file they're editing, then do it faster in Vim ;) I'm just kidding, hopefully you were sweating a little though.

I'm a Vim power user as much as anyone, and multiple cursors replace 80% of complex editing tasks in Vim (and are way nicer to work with over macros, because you get instant feedback), and a good IDE replaces the next 15% of what I use Vim for. Vim is a text editor, not a code editor, and I mostly work with code.

For the other 5% of what I want to do, I don't really miss it. Like using q: (meaning q-colon). A critical shortcut to use in Vim, if you don't know it and q/ you probably shouldn't be using Vim, but I don't really miss it. In fact pressing up/down arrows in VSCode's search box and command box do the same thing, now that I think about it.
Most people sacrifice the first 13 years for way less than $2M. This seems like a funny complaint.
I have a pet conspiracy theory that the leadership there thinks this may rid them of "troublemakers". Huffman's seemingly ludicrous hardcore stance against third party Apps and mods who disagree with him would seem to reinforce this.

Basically, they're chasing away the folks who are most likely to cause a ruckus when Reddit inevitably tries to go IPO or otherwise make a profit. Everyone is saying this is in prep for their IPO, but I agree with Huffman's analysis that now is a really shitty time to be pondering an IPO. My guess is he has a checklist of items he needs to accomplish on the site handed to him by leadership to make everything look good for an IPO. He may have realized a lot of these would not go well with the community - this isn't his first rodeo with this stuff - so he applied draconian measures, hardened his heart against the mods and app devs who made the site what it is, and is hoping and praying there will be something left when the smoke clears. And there will be, especially as they force subreddits back into the light and encouraging mods to turn on each other. Basically, this is a loyalty test, and all of the disloyal people are being forced out. The loyal people who will pretty much go with anything Reddit leadership wants will be all that's left, and they're banking that will be enough. Add the influx of Facebook and Twitter refugees who likely see all of this as just nerd posturing, and, yeah, Reddit will likely survive and go IPO.

But it will not be Reddit. It will be a sad, corporate shadow of the vibrant community it once was. And it will not last. I honestly believe distributed social media - ActivityPub, BlueSky (ew), or something yet to come - will be the future. It will look like your favorite social media feeds now, but it will act like email, just hopefully with better moderation and spam handling. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and even YouTube will eventually relent and tie themselves to this ecosystem as a last ditch effort to stay alive, then probably picked apart by private equity vultures in an ignominious final act.

I think the point being made is that somebody who would get drunk and edit comments on a forum they control is the LAST person who should run a forum of any sort.

Also, why do people who are defending him always refer to him being drunk? Is he granted some sort of “blame the booze” pass for those actions?
