It's partly political. If GvR is paid by a company to work on something, the result goes in, no matter how bad it is.

The NoGIL effort comes from Facebook and as such is suspect (until Microsoft switches to Golang like Google and Dropbox and GvR moves to Facebook).
I read the article and Huffman seems quite reasonable. Basically that they are asking profit making apps like Apollo to cover server costs, which seems not ridiculous if Reddit is loss making and Apollo profit making. I get the impression that some people who say they don't like corporate doublespeak are upset because Huffman just says pay or move on instead of doing the doublespeak. My biases - I did his python course and thought he seemed ok, also I use old reddit on the laptop and it works fine.
Oh yeah. I currently use Firefox Relay for this but they're on nearly every abuse list by this point so I can't even sign up for some websites. The downside of using domain forwarding instead though is that suddenly I'm responsible for my email and that's a risk that I don't want to take.

I do actually accept emails addressed to logandark.net. I just don't rely on it.
The cause seems to be software from private companies gets more resources for features, feedback, maintenance etc.

If that is correct, the obvious solution is generating some substantive funding for important open source projects which develop software and protocols for billions of users.

Of course, there are organizations already doing funding for open source projects, but maybe moving the scale of funding by a few orders of magnitude can help.
I do like C# test casing better where you take n+1 params. N being n params in function, and return value being the expected value. Very clean

#[test_case(-2, -4, 8 ; "when both operands are negative")]
#[test_case(2, 4, 8 ; "when both operands are positive")]
#[test_case(4, -2, 8 ; "when one operands is negative")]

I’m beginning to think that voting machine companies see vulnerabilities as a feature rather than a bug.

It’s not like it’s impossible or even that difficult to create reasonably secure devices, and if security was a positive attribute in the industry, you think the “wisdom of the market” (kek) would have sorted this out at least a little bit by now.
What a terrifying thought that is.
> I wouldn't

I would. And I would also like to receive such if I am the one sorting someone’s life through.

> they're trying to sort your crap out, not stumble face first into something emotional

You are freshly dead. If they cared about you they are already dealing with strong emotions. They are not going to “stumble face first into something emotional”. Everything about the experience, including every single bureucratic form is going to remind them of you, which going to remind them that you are dead, which is going to be painfull.

What do you want them to think in that setting? If there is something you would like to say to them in that moment, maybe you should think in the now if you are living your current days the best way to communicate that thing both with words and actions. But even if you do that you should maybe consider writing a letter reinforcing your message to them.

Why? Experiencing the death of a loved one is stressfull. The time leading up to it can be even more so. If you died suddenly then because of that. If you suffered and fought for long then because of that. Maybe you had some argument with your loved ones just before your death? Maybe you haven’t had a proper chance to say good bye? Even if you live your life the best there is a chance for something random and unpleasant to mar the last memories with your loved ones. If you leave them a letter that can help them with their pain, and give you a chance to articulate one last time the things you want them to know.

I understand that you are aiming to spare your relations from emotional anguish so they can better concentrate on whatever task is at hand. It is I believe comming from a place of caring. And there is something to it. Maybe separate the emotional last message from the official stuff? Put it in a separate envelope and make it clear who it is adressed and that it is a last message? And then they can decide when to read it. Maybe they want to read it first and then cry for a few days and then get stuff in order? Or maybe they need to mourn you before they are ready to read it and mourn you even more? Or maybe they will never read it, and that is fine too? But they have at least the option if they want to.

Now I assume you are a lovely person and you have lovely loving relationship with your closed ones. So don’t take this personally. But if i would get the last box from some relative and there is a bunch of car keys with no personal note… i might think they cared about their car more than me. Of course this is context dependent and the context is the relationship as it was lived.

Thanks for this, not quite sure what happened
You might be surprised. At a gig I had a year or two ago, development was in python, but all the ceremony around the build process meant that I got surprised comments from colleagues upon managing to merge a trivial change the same day as the bug had been opened...

I’ll look past the rudeness of your comment and actually address your point.

At least in Canada - I would assume the model is similar in the US - standard real estate transaction commissions using an agent are 4-5%, so your home wouldn’t need to be over a million to save $20k by avoiding an agent.

Also, in many metros, the prices of homes are so high that a million dollar home ain’t what it used to be. We can’t and shouldn’t assume that someone selling a million dollar house is a sophisticated and wealthy actor.
No need for test_context, we can add an optional argument to functions marked with test.
I wonder if the seeming uptick in cancers for people born in the 50s is related to just how many test explosions were done?

I cant pull up the stats via chatGPT, but I can pull up cancer stats from NIH - but the goal is to look at cancer death rates for the population of Las Vegas Nevada by each decade - as it states that radiation background has dropped since the 1960s -- It would be interesting noting births in Las Vegas starting in 1950, and comparing that with cancer rates btwn 1965-1975 compared with the number of nuke tests done in NV during the 1960s

Agreed with what you said. There are topics, and there are communities. They often get conflate. Moderators of communities should feel some sense of ownership over the community. But they don't own the topic.
> ... if [removable batteries] were that great for customers there would have been [more mass market smartphones]...

Removable battery phones are more difficult to design.

Why would a company do something that's more difficult, absent a mandate to do so?

Modern smartphones are not the pinnacle of technical possibility -- they're an optimization between feature and price.

A feature could be beloved by customers but add another $1 to smartphone build costs, and still be cut by every remaining manufacturer in the market.
It doesn't seem to be the case for me. Why do you think it uses similar resources?
I think LVM or DM provide snapshot and compression capabilities which you could layer under ext4.

I like ext4 for being simple and fast and having options to turn off the unnecessary stuff. It's great for gigabytes of caches, tempfiles, build artifacts, scratch files etc. The bookkeeping and indirection needed for those features would be a waste of CPU cycles for shortlived data.
I find it ironic that one of the few phone brands adressing all these issues (replaceable batteries, rootability, 5+ years spare parts sales) happens to be the ultimate "Chinese brand" phone: Unihertz :p

General advice: be it a web app or low level cryptography library in rust or a unity game.

Always run it first! And I mean run from the code you downloaded and built (not prebuilt binaries). Then try to debug it.

Also read every bit of documentation you can get your hands on.

Remember many will be built idiomatically, for example if tailwind is being used your life is easier if you read the tailwind docs and come back to the repo rather than try to figure it out yourself. The more idioms being used you know, the easier it is to understand, and the less surface area of unknowns there are.

And that's one reason the platform has no legitimacy. You say YOU only use it on a certain type, but it got used on me. Have a look at my comments here, I'm far from perfect but I'm neither of those things.

I outlined in a different conversation in this thread that I can see why you have to resort to this: Reddit is not incentivized to ban IPs, and I assume you are likewise not empowered to.

Reddit needs as many eyeballs as they can get, and that is why if you simply ban an account they are able to create a new one; the problem for you, the cog, is unfortunate, but from their perspective they get a new user on their balance sheet every time.

Reddit is incentivized to make your task a struggle that never ends. So it's not that I judge you for it, I judge Reddit's conflict of interest and complete unsuitability as a public square.

That said, I still see what you do as fundamentally cowardly.

Edit: It is intended to be a process with no appeal as a feature. Would you sign up to have your relationship with a community forum severed, secretly and capriciously, and with no appeal or review intended to be possible, at the whim of someone you have never met? And even if you had an attack of integrity, it will never not be a Reddit feature for the reasons outlined above, so your only course of action would not be to stop shadowbanning, but rather, to simply leave the forum for a better one. If Reddit survives as a place where Geographical locations keep their community forums, that will be a horrible fate for us.
I think you misundestand the purpose of your contract. Your contract is for you to produce value, not just to have your butt on a seat for 8 hours. The problem is that you cannot measure impact in a concrete enough way for a contract. So time is used as a proxy. If you cant deliver your impact in that time, you will get fired regardless. Just fullfilling the contract is NOT enough for the employer, so why take it literally yourself?

Having an standard of truth is important as a reputation for an organization(whether for commercial or non-commercial reasons). Besides, click-baitiness is not sustainable as in the equilibrium, readers will change expectations to assume artices are click-baity and information on the real breakthroughs will have fight all the fake breakthroughs.

BTW, This is not about Quanta which I find is a really good resource. Although, there might indeed be some click-baitiness not with the motive of profit(you could describe it as a charity run by Jim Simons), but in the sense of someone trying to get students interested with a provocative title for a science talk.

[Citation needed] This seems like quite an assumption.

Anyhow, the situation he sketched was that some random guy develops a fields with cylinders 300 years from now, how reasonable is it that he somehow understand the language or goes through the effort to translate it? I would wager pretty slim, I can barely understand text in my own language from 100 years ago.

What I miss from JSON5 is a dedicated date/time type (TOML eg. does have it!). I understand that this would be a step beyond mere syntax sugaring, but I'd still prefer this trade off.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I get the last part, are you suggesting that when we send these employees to an event (like a meeting or a town hall), they realize that their potential for growth and progress might be limited because they don't speak the language? If so, I don't think it takes them to be in those events, even, to understand that. This is a problem we simply cannot solve.

By the way, I never heard anyone complain about their salary on the exit interviews. It's almost always the bad integration to the rest of the team/company, and sometimes having to deal with technology they'd rather keep away from (JSF! :) ).

I know the salaries the company offers aren't comparable to what is offered across the pond but they are quite competitive in Europe.
I don’t think that metric is just the power usage of the servers, it’s more likely that it also includes the other energy costs of the company and its employees, and how much effort went in to working on the article itself.
Generally speaking you can group large financial institutions into two groups: sell side and buy side. I’m no expert, but afaik, these firms either SELL liquidity (e.g. investment banks, market makers etc.) or BUY liquidity (for example pension funds, certain hedge funds). Liquidity is the key here - that is (if any) the benefit they bring to society. I can buy/sell pretty much any financial product/risk with reasonable spreads because there’s always someone on the other side of the trade ready to be my counterparty.

Not that I want to defend some of these institutions, though some are better than others, but it’s important to keep in mind that they do take on risk in order to provide us liquidity, and most of them specialize in managing the risk, some of them are even good at it. Their infrastructure and connectivity and the price they charge you to provide liquidity allows them to make profits, but they do lose money sometimes. Also, compared to 20 years ago, there’s fierce competition now in pretty much every aaset class - if you work in one of the buy/sell side firms, you’ll very often hear terms such as spread compression etc (except the Covid years of course - people just wanted to trade, nobody cared about the price of liquidity (e.g. spreads or sales credit etc.) they had to pay)
Does it support fixtures natively like in Python?
For "London Underground Medium", it's almost certain this technology is character based (it's not archaic enough to be hand-crafted values) and so somebody with even test access to a 1996 stock (ie Jubilee Line trains) can presumably tell one to display notices with the desired characters: F K Qq U V X Y Z and take a photo without it ever being in service.

On the other hand, the 1995 stock is very similar, same vendor, same era, likely identical display panels so I'd expect you could collect some of this data (e.g. London Zoo is accessed via the Northern Line, and that's a Z right there if the display mentions this) from those trains and assume it's the same.
I don't see why to stick to being a JavaScript subset. Yes, in the olden days it was practical with JSON that there is no need to write a dedicated parser, just pass the data to eval(). Nowadays you should not pass anything to eval, apart from metaprogramming purposes (in which case the input is fully in control of the code).
I can understand a little bit this mentality if you're working for yourself as a one person start up with your runway quickly drying up but to sacrifice your life for a soulless corporation who couldn't care less if you died the next day is very puzzling.

I've been among those users creating replacement communities. Mostly about topics that I wanted to speak about, even in Reddit, but prevented myself to do so to not feed that awful company and environment. It feels good - you feel yourself important (I'm not important though), contributing with something.

I don't even use mobile, mind you. But I know that a company showing some users its middle finger will eventually show it to me. It did in the past, but sadly it was simply "casual abuse", not a big screwing up pissing multiple users at the same time.

And while anecdotal, this highlights for me:

1. The importance to keep a good relationship with your users. Trust is hard to measure through A/B testing; people might tolerate some abuse, but they won't forget about it. And once you do something that might look inconsequential, but breaks that trust a tiny bit further, it's "just enough" to make them leave, or fight back. Perhaps if Reddit hasn't been so abusive towards its users, people would look at the third party apps dying and say "oh well, I'll install the official app".

2. That that trust is also broken if you tell people blatant lies. If Reddit Inc. was actually honest with their intentions ("we want 3rd party apps gone"), or said nothing at all, people wouldn't be as pissed. It shows that the company expects them to be stupid, and not even the stupid like to be treated as such.

3. That some users are more important to keep happy than others. You definitively don't want to piss off the users necessary for your business model.

I have the distinct impression that something specifically about a nicotine flood drives this littering. I often see groups of colleagues smoking together but not interacting, each lost in their own contemplation. Then they flick their butts and walk away. It's almost as if that contemplative state comes with the self-absorbtion required to litter. Maybe when you go to nicotine for satisfaction, for a brief moment you are free from caring about the world around you.

Thanks for the examples, your point makes sense to me now. Combining characters or modifier characters and all other weird aspects of unicode really call for a separate library for parsing unicode, since even with relying on 1 UTF-8 codepoint == 1 text unit, one doesn't get much advantage, because 1 character isn't always 1 UTF-8 codepoint.

That sounds great if your target market is Marianne Williamson, but I think most people would look at the About page to find out more about the owner(s) of your
