Reading about Power Delete Suite https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

They don't mention being able to delete from private subs, and their method of deletion sounds like it would fail when the subs are set to private.

I'll admit Reddit barely deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point, but I have no idea how you would delete posts on private subs except through some GDPR way that must exist.
There are many subreddits for which there are no suitable "source".

My personal favorites are r/hmmm and r/youtubehaiku and r/obscuremedia.

Luckily, Reddit makes it extremely easy to subscribe to subreddits via RSS:

ares isn't on the firefox store anymore and PowerDeleteSuite gets responses that are "success: false" 99% of the time because it doesn't fit the throttling they have very well so it leaves huge gaps of un-edited posts in your history

Ares can be installed manually but the building process has a few holes, namely, you need to rollback your node version to 13.14.0 and it's not mentioned in the readme. You can use nvm to do that (nvm install 13.14.0 && nvm use 13.14.0), then the normal stuff (npm install && npm run build)

I looked for a reddit history editor a while back and found those two as well, it's sad it's hard to make them work unless your account happens to have the throttle it expects
My little sister developed carditis. She went from not feeling good to emergency heart valve replacement surgery in about 5 days.
My network is substantially smaller and I know 2 and I know of (partners/close friends of people I know) 2 more.
I'm more than happy to focus on "DevOps" (wretch) but not in the course of building an application. One or the other. If I'm building an app and working through all of the requirement gathering and development the last thing I want to do is fuck with containers, deployment, build scripts, or cloud services. I'm might just be an old grouch, but having this stuff foisted on me makes me want to quit everything.

The AWS Lambda + Serverless framework shit trend has to go. There are no savings or agility. It never handles everything. The gaps are the painful parts, not the bits it gets right.

I'll choose a simple nodejs app any day over that yaml trash fire.
I’ve had such bad experiences with Reddit mods I’m cheering this on.
Stop telling me what to do
This is wonderful. I made questionyoutube.com yesterday to solve a similar problem, I think this is better in the limit though.

If you can just get search time down, and make the summarization a little better, that would be amazing.

For instance, I tried this with 'what Toyotas should I avoid' and it found good relevant videos, but in the summary of 'Bad Toyotas you need to avoid' it misses that certain Toyotas from 2007-2009 had an oil burning issue, which was the main topic of the video. Querying the transcript of the video with 'what Toyotas do I need to avoid' gives a more complete answer. I'm curious how your handling the initial summary.
> the article needs to be read through this lens

Would people read this article less critically without knowing the author's position?

If so, then THAT'S the problem with devops (and every other software buzzword). If someone is reading online about ideas in their profession, why should they ever treat the ideas with anything less than maximum critical thinking and distrust? This is their livelihood, after all.
Interesting that the stickied post on https://startrek.website mentions they have a Patreon setup to help with hosting costs.

> We’ve started a Patreon here: Patreon.com/treksite. There’s only one plan and it’s just $4. If our growth continues like it has, we’re going to need to upgrade our hosting very soon.

$4 is not outside of the realm of what it might have cost a regular user to continue paying for one of these 3rd party Reddit Apps on the new pricing [1]. There are clear benefits to paying your own way: owning your data, stronger community identity; when boiling down to money alone I found it an interesting comparison, since that's what this whole situation started about. However it is certainly no longer just about the money at this point after public comments made by Reddit Corp.

That was probably just written as an "out of the box" idea, not as a serious proposal. How much energy would it cost to stop the rotation of the Earth? And that should be spent in a matter of minutes. There's no source on Earth that can provid that power. And where would these "engines" be hooked? All over the globe, I suppose, because otherwise it wouldn't be very effective.

So no. To suggest "the US Air Force" had such a plan is most likely click-bait.
I don't see how they can argue that they own the data, and then turn around and say they have no way of making sure there is no PII - if a user thinks that a comment or post contains their PII and delete it, then either the user owns it or reddit needs to respect that is was deleted for that reason
Hmm, going by those confidence intervals this doesn't look significant, or is that just me?
In addition to the points he makes, there is less of a complexity barrier to jump with that generation of machine.

Modern OSX/MacOS/iOS is arguably elegant but also complex and hardly something you control... A far cry from the demo'ed C compiler.

I can see a lot of utility in that little rig. And a lot of future proofing.
$0.07/kWh is not even close to reality in the west. $0.12 - 0.2/kWh is the reality. This is whole sale prices, so you can not compare it to your power bill.

https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/levelized-cost-of-e...

Like Hinkley Point C clocking in at a fair $0.16/kWh.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_...

I think you is the one blinded by the industries promises rather than the reality it produces.

Take IEA and their special report on Nuclear power. They generally are super conservative and in favor of traditional methods.

> As an established large-scale low emissions energy source, nuclear is well placed to help decarbonise electricity supply. In the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE), energy sector emissions fall by about 40% from 2020 to 2030, and then decline to zero on a net basis by 2050. While renewable sources dominate and rise to nearly 90% of electricity supply in the NZE, nuclear energy plays a significant role. This narrow but achievable pathway requires rigorous and immediate policy action by governments around the world to reshape energy systems on many fronts.

> Nuclear has to up its game in order to play its part

> The industry has to deliver projects on time and on budget to fulfil its role. This means completing nuclear projects in advanced economies at around USD 5 000/kW by 2030, compared with the reported capital costs of around USD 9 000/kW (excluding financing costs) for first-of-a kind projects. There are some proven methods to reduce costs including finalising designs before starting construction, sticking with the same design for subsequent units, and building multiple units at the same site. Stable regulatory frameworks throughout construction would also help avoid delays.

Essentially - Nuclear as it exists today is dead, if it can get it costs down to less than half it may play a tiny role.

I think the ESP8266 in a way shows the opposite.

ST, Atmel and Microchip maintain massive product catalogues so users can choose between 4MHz, 10MHz, 16MHz and 20MHz for their 8-bit, 8-pin microcontroller, and choose whether they want 1750 bytes of program memory or 3500 - but for the same price customers can get a 160 MHz, 32-bit microcontroller with built in wifi?

Why would expressif pay the engineering costs and supply chain complexity costs to make worse products, when their flagship product is already a great price?
> When was the last time you saw a product manager high-five the ops person and say, ‘fast fucking autoscaler!’?

It will happen when the optimization of the autoscaler will improve the revenue, by itself and in a quantifiable way.

Otherwise, a fast autoscaler is just a small step in the right direction, as elegant code, clean financial accounts and free strong coffee are: all of them support the business, but it's the sellable functionalities that create the business in the first place.
I agree completely. I remember very distinctly when tech transitionned from following "trends" to becoming "hype" : when iphone and apple marketing made developping ios app a hipster thing. All of the sudden you had articles in fashion newspaper talking about "how a mobile app developer desk looks like" ( saw it from my own eyes, it was next to the "architect desk" and the "fashion designer desk").

It certainly helped with the social integration of software developers (which is definitely a good thing), but it also created this bizarre connotation that tech had to be cool.

It doesn't. Technology first and foremost has to work. Especially software.

I should add that it's now becoming even worse : tech now has to be politically correct and inclusive ( aka: boycotting a database technology because its author don't support some US legislation regarding transgender rights would be a totally ok decision)

What tools are you using to generate the audio?
Just stop letting them buy gas? That would take either:

- That companies (plural) stop selling gas. That's coordinated action, because you need all the oil companies (or all the gas stations) to agree.

- That the government decides it. But in a democracy, that takes coordinated action too. The president does not have the constitutional authority to decree "no more sales of gasoline for passenger vehicles".
how many hours of dev time you think you saved for 5-15, is that justifying your salary 10-25K p/m?
What a weird paper. They compare 3D rendering a synthetic camera path against a stock 2D image stabilisation algorithm. Of course, true 3D algorithms will win.

And their main takeaway seems to be that one should do global bundle adjustment for recovering the camera poses ... which I thought has been common knowledge for years and is what pretty much every SfM tool implements.

My TLDR would be: stuff that works well continues to work well even if you use a neural radiance field instead of a point cloud for representing geometry.

Those results look eerily similar to Microsoft's 2016 Hyperlapse paper&software.
Yes, but after that there should be a wipeout.
platform engineering is where all of the fun problems are too!
> not by typing reddit.com/r/binoculars

That's exactly what I did. Most of those subs have either a pinned guide or a wiki with recommendations and considerations. And often I do use search, because it's fine for simple things like searching for model numbers.

> If I am, doesn't that completely break down the moment a decent chunk of communities decides it must not be on reddit?

That's the point of it being a network effect, right? Like, when people collectively start using Facebook in stead of Myspace, so Myspace died?

> Am I right in this assumption?

No, I don't exclusively use Google to search Reddit and when I do, I explicitly mention site:reddit.com.

> And you would find that information the same way as you would on reddit if I'm not mistaken.

So, no, you are mistaken. Because I didn't even know those forums existed and they don't seem to show up on Google often.

Recently, I was looking for a monitor for example. Say I'd want to know more about the 'G95SC' entering 'G95SC review' in Google shows mostly review sites like CNET. I want to see regular people's opinions so I look on Reddit and see those. And I can do the same thing for 3D printers, cars, brake pads, track tires, laptops, android car stereos and pretty much anything else. In stead of having to find the relevant forums.
And when this is combined with Facebook/Google/Apple/Microsoft shadow profiles, it's an almost certain guarantee that information is linked with your name, DOB, credit info, and tax ID number.
Migrating a legacy PHP application to Laravel will probably require a custom hashing driver. In this article, I share how I usually handle it.
If you were to post on another public website "My name is X, and my Reddit username is Y", would your anonymous Reddit posts now be considered personal data?

I suppose this would constitute indirect identification of a data subject under GDPR?
How to Use Tags (2022)
Pushshift only blocked such data from being queried via their API. All these users' posts and comments are still in their data dumps, which now have tens of thousands of copies after being released as torrents.
The biggest advantage Rash seems to have over Eshell is the pipe extensions that is has, and maybe the performance (Racket is really fast).

The biggest advantage Eshell has to me is TRAMP, which is more important to my personal workflow than I think the better piping would be.

Of course maybe something like TRAMP could be added to Rash though :)
> some different part of the program deleted an entry in the array

That's not a thing. This is the linchpin of your argument, and it just doesn't exist.

Try it, make an array of, I dunno, Strings, and then "delete" one. You can't, there is no "delete" operator, that would be meaningless.

People with some brief exposure to Rust might think, "OK smart arse, it's called drop, I can just drop the String". Nope. That's an array of Strings, you can't just drop one of them, it's part of the type [String; N] it's not OK if one of them isn't a String, so you're going to need to consciously swap it for a different String, you could core::mem::take that element of the array, leaving its default (an empty String) behind and then drop the one you took. But what we've got here isn't an "invalidated pointer" we've just got an ordinary logic error in our program where we mistakenly empty strings we still wanted.

You have to go build your own pit, and fill it with spikes, and jump into it, all so that you can moan, "Oh, Rust basically has the same terrible pit traps as C or C++" except, you built the trap, so don't do that.
Of course I can enable Wayland - I have option to enable Wayland for GDM, and I can use Gnome over X or via Wayland. The fact that it is protocol have nothing to do with the ability of disabling and enabling, I enable and disable protocols in many other domains.

It isn't me that have issues with Wayland (or with Gnome on Wayland, if you must be pedantic). It's everyone who try to use software that you will probably categorize as rubbish but still actual people are depend on, stuff like commercial remote sessions.

> But for most people it's been enabled for years and years now and it's just... better.

If by years and years you mean a year, than sure. But it isn't the default for years and years, that's simply not true for any distro.

If you want to assert that Wayland isn't controversial show me the numbers. Find a source that most people don't use X because it works great despite no one maintains it.
You're absolutely right about all of that - and yet, I'm still on the mods side for this one.

Huffman is and always has been an absolute tool; in fact he's a big factor for much of what you're talking about.

And this is an awful policy, that make giant steps toward a level of enshittification that I won't tolerate.
My friend has been making some rather major purchases lately, such as a portable air conditioner and a portable generator. She is elderly, retired, and lives with a younger fellow who's technically inclined. She's trying to hedge her bets around an inept landlord, bad house wiring and an unstable grid, and air conditioning that constantly breaks at inopportune times during the summer.

But I kept telling her that she doesn't want these complex mechanical things hanging around. I tried to impress on her (pace Technology Connections) how abysmal that air conditioner is going to be. I also tried to explain to her that if she gets a generator, she'll have to maintain it and fire it up once in a while, and that will not be easy. I explained that I have at least one other friend who decided that owning a truck and an inverter was way easier, because the truck has wheels that you can use to drive it around, the truck is easily maintained by the auto shop on the corner, and the truck will provide plenty of power just the same as the generator.

She really has a prepper streak, though, and I couldn't talk her out of it, especially after the sales lady got talking to her. She doesn't have a car and her roommate doesn't drive either, so I don't know how they'll transport/maintain these machines, but oh well.
Oh god dont even get me started on this! This has really put me in a bad spot because now I have to move all my doamins onto a new host not to mention all the emails I have to update. Seriously fuck Google.
Hmm. Apparently version 5 of the pickle protocol (which is faster) isn't yet used by the multiprocessing module [1] even though it was mentioned as part of the rationale in PEP 574 [2].

It's really not that hard to run stuff in containers. Use a Makefile or similar so you don't need to type long Docker commands

> During a sprint, an engineer adds convert (ImageMagick) to the mix to support manipulating images and forgets to update the Dockerfile, and then production goes down.

And what... you can't run integration tests in a containerized environment in CI?
I think they chose a terrible means to stop the earth, but the plan itself may still be salvageable (no, I'm not seriously suggesting it would be a good idea).

Consider angular momentum. It must be conserved. And a cool fact about that is that if you spin around and gain angular momentum, you steal it from the earth until you stop.

So all we need is a large number of very large and very fast spinning devices that we can turn on, spin up over say 5 minutes, and then stop afterwards. They'd probably need to spin at speeds that would shatter the atoms they're made of, of course, and the entire continent would need to be covered in them, I imagine.

But at least the atmosphere would be saved, and it wouldn't be a sudden stop and start.
I think the downfall of Google (the search engine) started when Google decided to host/participate in SEO conferences instead of keeping the relationship more distant (focusing on showing users the sites they want rather than helping people get users).
I would love to believe these stories, but they only seem to come out when the current administration needs a distraction.
Musk has gotten several. The elonjet Twitter shit got days of 500+ comment posts, and that's just the most recent example I can think of. Twitter didn't die, I doubt reddit will.
You mean 'controlling' reddit. Folks like this have had tastes of power before. If you think about it, knowing that Reddit is a feeder to ChatGPT, it could be a strategic move to try and make it so that all the AIs of the future default to 4chan mindset.

Bold if true! Heck of a motivation.

And Reddit as it stands is clearly not optimal for delivering this, but with enough dedicated mods power-modding the heck out of everything, maybe it COULD be the ideal source data for the ultimate 4chan artificial intelligence…
They are actively promoting their Google Voice product via their Google Workspace organisation/enterprise product suite, I've had multiple sales emails over the past couple of months trying to promote it. Perhaps they are winding down their consumer product, but the enterprise product seems to be still alive.
"So we are supposed to have more conversation and debate? Sounds like exactly what we've been doing for the last 30,40,50 years."

It has sounded more like competing monologues than anything else to me...
I wouldn't read too much into it. It's not like the reddit community wasn't prone to paranoid suppositions.

Just ask that moderator accused of being Ghislaine Maxwell.
Here's the recent subinterpreters talk, it has information about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ywZjnjeAO4
I challenge the author to showcase a developer platform that handles secrets management and access management correctly and transparently. Sorry, can't be done. I've seen various attempts that certainly tried, and they've all had holes.

Product teams need somebody who has the following skillsets: security, observability, deploy/release, containers/repeatable environments, networking/runtime/storage... if you don't have those skills on your team, you're going to have a hard time. Sometimes you find those skillsets in one engineer, sometimes among multiple people on the team. If they're in one engineer, maybe that guy's title is DevOps, maybe it's Platform, maybe it's SRE, maybe it's something else.

Stop sweating the title and start hiring for the skillsets you're missing. If you can't find anyone, find people on the team who are interested in learning, and give them time to train on it. Who cares what other companies are doing, worry about the missing holes on your own team first.
Please don’t, that just speeds up the Turing Syndrome

I was going to say - it would be extremely stupid to not offer domain registration as a part of your cloud platform - the way billing works at most companies - not having this would often be a deal breaker for using a cloud provider.
Show HN: Kraken – Flow-Based Service Orchestration Framework
Erlang BEAM VM is an excellent choice for organizing communication between different services in distributed systems. With proper formalism, it is possible to express the logic of communication in a simple declarative way.
Kraken suggests the flow-based programming approach for organizing the interaction between services in a software system. It means that every interaction with the system is presented as an event. It goes through a predefined chain of components (pipeline), which call underlying services and modify the event. The final state of the event represents the result of the interaction.
Kraken provides JSON DSL for the definitions of pipelines and clients to underlying services. The interaction with the Kraken-based orchestrator is also carried out via JSON API.
One may think about Kraken as a Kubernetes for the orchestration layer of a system, but instead of defining infrastructure, one defines high-level application logic.
Reddit plans to ask users to vote out protesting mods
You can request your Reddit data under the GDPR, and this includes all of your deleted content. It is visible from your profile to Reddit staff.

The term 'assigns' has always rubbed me the wrong way. Context or "view context" has always made more sense.
