The problem is that people don't even agree on what "it" is. Low friction of cross-board collaboration increases the spam problem. There will be low quality instances in a federated world. Other people really really just want to post about woodworking or whatever and the federation thing is not interesting at all. Nobody wants a feed without content in it anymore than staring at an empty email account, so you kind of need one of those things to jumpstart it.

There are so many different niches out of what people want out of a reddit replacement though. Some people want anonymous, some don't, some want local mod curation, others want a very broad push-based thing with lots of server feeding, and there are a lot of these underlying disagreements that are underlying a lot of the "what would replace it" thing.

It's always fun until someone starts shitflooding gore and the mods on that server don't handle it and there's some other problem that's the fifth this week. Let alone if you are dependent on nobody else in your group importing them etc. Reputation matters and if your pod is disruptive that doesn't mean anyone decent will federate with you. And your posts could go much farther than intended.

I still think Discord has nailed the social model that is necessary here. Smaller communities with people you know, local control and moderation. But that's not necessarily ActivityPub.
We’ve been building railways for what, 200 years now? Heck the old ones were built by hand.

Why did reddit choose to charge app developers
(causing financial uncertainty) for API requests
instead of charging the end-users?

Selfishly I almost wish this had been their course of action -- restrict API access to Reddit Gold members, or some such.

Reddit Gold is $5.99/month, so 5-6x their average monthly income per user. Hell, they could just make it $2 a month.

Source, not sure how reliable: https://sacra.com/c/reddit/

One downside to this is that while $5.99/month is affordable to many, for other people (particularly those in other parts of the world) it is completely unaffordable. So, probably a no-go.
Not just those two, from what I'm seeing. Apparently MOVEit is used by many government agencies, at all levels, as well as banks, universities, etc.

> In that example I don't think anything really changes. With cache coherency a release barrier makes sure all previous stores are committed to L1, and by implication any old versions of the cache line have been invalidated.

That is not what a release barrier does.

> Without cache coherency a release barrier makes sure all previous stores are committed to L1, and explicitly says that any old versions of the cache line have been invalidated.

That is not a "normal barrier" though, writeback and invalidate operations are software coherency.

> If you had a design a lot like MESI, you wouldn't really need release semantics,

This is not the case. Release barrier can be required even if your cache coherency operations completed in FIFO order, because reordering could be done before cache coherency.

That's a feature, not a bug.

Moderation in the fediverse (inc. Mastodon & Lemmy) means defederating from "problematic" instances, where problematic is defined in the rules of the server doing the federating server (which appears to be documented at https://beehaw.org/instances)

This means moderation happens at a community & instance level rather than global moderation.

Please correct me if I'm missing something - I'm quite new to Mastodon & the fediverse like I'm sure many are!
To be fair, it's all consistent with Reddit's entire historical record. Dishonesty and sockpuppetry is how Reddit got off the ground in the first place.

As the only surviving Reddit co-founder who failed to capitalize on the spectacular luck of launching Reddit and had to crawl back, only spez wants to claim the Jed Clampett title. Only now, in this gritty sequel, given the opportunity to coast in constant wealth and comfort for the rest of his days skimming the labors of the people actually successfully mining the lucky strike he himself failed to realize, he seems resentful, somehow. Regretful. Wants a do-over of the founding of Reddit. Reddit was a springboard to greater success for other founders (well, except that other one), why not him. What else can a discontented hillbilly founder do, but drive off the established, successful industry happily pumping money into his pockets, how else to get a do-over of the founding of Reddit. Maybe he can get it right this time.

There are so many comments in that thread advising not to use Google Domains (including my comment).
Reddit has removed rogue moderators from time to time, so the precedents have been set. This was always a clearly visible outcome for any moderator who had paid attention to admin-mod interactions at any point over the last 5-9 years. The seemingly secure status of moderators is a cultural artifact, not a technical one. The moment the liabilty of unpaid community volunteers outweights the benefit, Reddit will not hesitate to remove said volunteers. Ultimately, this platform belongs to Reddit itself, and large communities have been diluted to the point where average users don't care about community ownership long ago.
If I were on the board, I’d be engaged in discussion with my fellow board members right now about whether spez is demonstrating the temperament befitting a good CEO.

Even if you think the shit coming out of his mouth to be the right attitude, you have to ask why he’s saying it out loud, abrasively, in public, where it’s only going to make the product less attractive.

People say this but it's patently obvious that life was more miserable 150 years ago! ~everyone's life was basically toiling away every day to survive. There are obviously examples at the margin that change things up but let's be real. Life is a bit better!

I am personally for some financial incentive changes (though I think that we can somehow figure out how to build communities that don't cost as much to run), so it's not like reddit in its current form has to exist. I just think that we can acknowledge that online communities are a nice to have for many people.

And to expand on that, online communities can complement offline communities in very interesting ways (See how chess has grown thanks to things like chess.com, and all that feeding into an increase in people participating in social chess events. Or things like board games being complemented by things like BGA)
Honestly $3 isn't bad, I'd gladly pay that to continue using my Reddit app.
The second time you are doing exactly the same thing you will be a lot faster, and the third time you will write a script to automate it. If others are doing the same thing repeatedly across the industry, automated tools will appear.

It follows that the majority of a developers time (at any level of experience) will be spent doing things they haven't done before.
Typically they're written with an `@` prefix, which implies that it may be a handle that supports WebFinger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebFinger

WebFinger technially uses a `acct:` URI protocol scheme, but this wouldn't work here. Lemmy writes community refs with a `!` prefix, which is somewhat unusual.
Ask HN: Should I need to use -print in a find command?

I think many people implicitly desire that the federation graph is complete, or practically nearly-complete with some pariah servers cut off. To put it differently, they want to be "user@host" in a system with a global namespace, not "user" in the "host" namespace with patchy access to others.
“If you don’t like the country’s politics just move elsewhere”. Switching to another ecosystem is not easy for many very obvious reasons. And honestly this “shop elsewhere” argument reminds me of the early iphone days, when iphones didn’t have i.e. multitasking. There were a lot of the similar “go buy a windows phone then” arguments. iPhones got multitasking at the end of the day, and both groups benefited from it.
Just as well we no longer cargo-cult any practices these days.

Just as a lion eating a gazelle has no moral qualms, a corporation does not either, so long as it's legal. Expecting ethical behavior in a corporation when such behavior is not encoded in its fitness function is misguided. You may not like this answer but it's true. If you want corporations to act ethically, encode it in their fitness function; make there be legal or monetary consequences to acting unethically because until then, they will simply do what they want to do.

In other words, even if you may feel that corporations are acting unethically, without any consequences for their actions, they'll just continue to do so, that's just the reality of it. You can try to change it, as you mention in your last paragraph, but that will be exceedingly difficult.

If you read the context, that UN chief got trolled and lost his cool. An oil executive is planned to chair this year’s international climate talks in Dubai, and this executive suggested that fossil fuel firms can keep up production if they find a way to capture carbon emissions. Which if you know anything about chemistry or physics doesn't make any sense. The only way it makes sense is if they are planning to do something sneaky later like only capture some of the emissions or just not comply or roll it back or redefine emissions to mean only particulate emissions or something like that. So when the UN guy was arguing against this obvious attempt at deception by this oil exec who is going to chair the climate talks, the UN guy said that fossil fuels themselves were the problem and when he was trying to emphasize that point he said they are incompatible with humanity. Probably that rhetoric gaffe made the day of the oil exec lol he is probably worth his salary to that oil company even if its millions of dollars he made the climate-supporting UN chief sound so dumb. And of course that's the quote that the AP picks as their headline lol.
> A more 'friendly' UI attracts people who don't have much of note to say, will consume what they're given, and respond to ads more.

That's a weird sort of elitism. Friendly UIs attract everyone, isn't that what a friendly UI means?
The board and the investors are not the community though. The community is reddit users, which didn't get to democratically pick him at all.

He's there because rich folks, e.g. actual landed gentry decided he should be, not because the users chose him to lead.

Old books are how they passed down knowledge about drugs, which absolutely included hallucinogens and psychedelics. We just made them illegal because modern chemistry, manufacturing and trade made powerful chemicals too accessible for worker-dependent industrializing societies to readily absorb. Culturally, we’re still feeling the reverberations from that knee-jerk reaction in the “war on drugs”, cartels, wildly varying legalization frameworks, religious exceptions, etc.
Unraveling the Complexities of Technical Debt
Here we unravel the complexities of technical debt. Delve deeper if you like complex details.

Technical debt is a metaphor coined by Ward Cunninham. It helps explain the consequences of making trade-offs in software development. Just as financial debt incurs interest over time, technical debt accumulates interest in the form of increased effort, reduced productivity, and decreased agility as a software project progresses.

So let's delve deeper into technical debt: https://hoosat.fi/blog/article/Unraveling%20the%20Complexiti...

> If anything, except for spelling mistakes like syd vs. syde, I think that's actually more consistent than modern English. I.e. I'd say syd for side is perfect. A y by itself makes the "why" sound. So syd is exactly how I'd write it if I was told to write it just from hearing the word once and knowing the alphabet.

Because it used to be pronounced with the e, not unlike Seite, but has long since been dropped. In the 1300s, in the time of Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales, this would've been pronounced with the trailing e.

I dig it.

It's a funny way of putting forward a very true phenomena: there's less effort and risk involved with saying what you want to say on the internet, leading to people who pick up those ideas and take them further. Ideas can spread like wildfire, easily, with no social or physical threats to curb them.

The range is from my younger self trolling and gaslighting Facebook (ashamedly), to people on twitch supporting the legalisation of child pornography and how it relates to marxism. (Which we all must ascribe for some reason).

Maybe I'm imagining things but i feel like the content on reddit is very regular, average and safe lately. Like you can't be werid in the comments.
I personally can’t take HN seriously on the topic of reddit because the site loves capitalism, and yet it’s now opposing exactly what a good capitalist would do to boost its own profits and eliminate the competition. What a reactionary echo chamber full of inexpert takes this site has become.
Sure, there is always that no-code solution!
does it bother anyone else that the stewards of some
of these communities are effectively 100% anonymous

Reddit communities fork and spawn offshoots regularly. So for those who "get" how Reddit works it's not an issue.

However, yeah, considering the clout carried by big Reddit communities... it's a concern. I certainly don't think the answer is de-anonymizing those mods, though.
Game development once you have the core technology in place is mostly iterative with content and play testing .. but requires a lot of waterfall foundational work - production design, sound , engine , core gameplay and graphical design ideas aren't really something that evolves from requirements discovered from a customer or PM that come at you gradually.

It's more like lean product development of a car or other product: you have design targets and may do concurrent engineering / spikes to explore the design space iteratively, but eventually you converge on what will be achievable (or you get stuck in game development hell), which point its a matter of bug fix triage and endless tweaks from game testing feedback. It's iterative but not what one would call "agile"

When you’re a company relying on outsourcing moderation work to an army of unpaid moderators, it’s probably not a good idea to drive away said moderators. Especially when your customers (advertisers) really don’t like sites that allow bad content to slip through their moderation too much.
Mod tools isn't the only reason, rif is so much more usable then the official reddit stuff. Like imagine if this site suddenly had a format like Instagram.

It's just pure corporate BS, Reddit never even tried to make ads available from the API in the first place. If that was such a problem, they would at least have tried something.

Then ads are half abandoned even on their official platform itself, they polished the avatar NFTs instead... Reddit has probably the most outdated ad market of all the social networks and they cannot blame third party apps for that.

If landlords cannot make a reasonable rate of return, they will not enter the market, and existing ones will exit. This will reduce the supply, and then the rents will rise.

I'm a self-taught developer at global market leader company. I worked on the business side for years and built quite a few internal apps end-to-end completely alone. I had no choice but to follow good practice to maintain them alone.

I was quite reluctant to join the dev team, it never had a good reputation, but eventually decided to give it a go. Agile and estimations, spill overs, etc is such a pain in the ass, it feels like a pseudo-science. A lot of people spend a lot of energy on just this administration while we are way behind on many other things, like proper unit testing, good quality documentation, well established CI/CD. And everybody is focusing so much on the estimates, tickets like this was the end goal. I want to change their approach but there's a long way to go.
Haha. I'm so old that the first computer I was introduced to in my first job (it may have been a Data General mainframe; my memory is fuzzy) had a solid copper "ribbon" running along the bottom inside the cabinet, and I was told "Don't drop a screwdriver on that or you'll short out the whole floor". The inside of the cabinet door had what looked like black "flash marks" on it. I also had to recover a program from a paper tape drive in that first year.
