First, mods are the group of people who are most impacted by Reddit's proposed changes, so of course they're going to be more vocal about this than the average user.

Second, are you arguing that mods aren't also users?
I started taking an off-label prescription (meant for depression, works for attention issues) a while back, and at first the dose was too high. I’d think, “the trash should go out”, which for a procrastinator usually starts a whole internal dialog full of bargaining about how the pickup isn’t for two days so I’ll just take it out the next time I put something in the can and it’ll be fine. And then go back to whatever I was doing or not doing.

The first time this happened on the too high dose, the next thing I knew I was standing at the garbage can closing the lid, and wondering how the fuck did that happen? Now I was having side effects too but the feeling of mild disassociation was deeply disturbing, and got stronger when the pills wore off and I could reflect back on the day. So we cut the dose by about 40%.

I suspect half of why it works is that anything that treats depression probably also reduces anxiety and self defeating behaviors, in addition to stringing longer lists of tasks together, which is why it works off label for some classes of notorious procrastinators.

I was talking to my therapist about this a couple weeks ago (I’m trying something different now and it’s not working), and I asserted that a procrastinator - or at least an adult one - will never willingly take a mind altering substance that 100% eliminates the thought of procrastination because while it’s absolutely not the best part of who we are, it is part of who we are. Ideally for me, and I think for many others, you would hit the point were your brain still says, “we could do this tomorrow!” sometimes, but you choose to ignore that voice and do it anyway.
An alternative would be to use something like https://friendlycaptcha.com/privacy/gdpr/ I guess?
It was surprisingly easy for me - I went to adhdonline, took a long questionnaire, next day got a diagnosis back from a doctor who reviewed my responses, and the day after that I had a 30 minute zoom call and a prescription to pick up the same day. Not sure where you are but this service is available in almost every state in the US.

A low dose stimulant like the methylphenidate I got isn't the same as getting high on meth. For someone with ADHD it just brings them up to feeling normal. I have a family history of drug abuse too but I don't think it's a good reason to avoid legitimate medical treatment.
The same problem exists, but has less of an impact on other platforms as well. For example, switching to a domain based handle on Bluesky will make your old handle available for re-registration. That makes you vulnerable to impersonation via the old handle.

I wonder if some of these platforms could allow aliases, so, using the example in the article, switching from 'MyOrganization' to 'NewOrganization' lets you keep 'MyOrganization' as a permanent alias. Obviously that would invite namespace squatting, but I think you could solve that by charging a one time fee for an alias. If you're renaming an organization it's likely worth $50+ to keep the old namespace.

Ideally, everything should move to domains as namespaces IMO. I'd rather maintain a single domain vs (hopefully) matching namespaces across a dozen different platforms.
> This comment reads like a classic "X-ism doesn't exist because Y people have it hard too!"

The claim was not "nepotism doesn't exist". The claim was that "It isn't nepotism if the person hired through personal connections can actually do the job".

Yes, people without personal connections have it harder, but the mere inequality exists does not mean the situation is unjust.
I'm one of the few people in my FAANG company with exemptions to work fully remote as well and I see the same thing you do... I wonder if we work at the same place.

I see some really crazy cognitive dissonance with RTO. Some of them say they prefer the new hybrid RTO policy and champion its benefits, but literally every week - without exception thus far - they've made an excuse to not show up at least one day. I think some people are just too nervous about not seeming to "drink the Koolaid". You'd think the seasoned people would be more immune to that kind of behavior, but here we are.
I’ve always assumed that fluff was all made up anyway.

The only way I have of working out if it is in any way based on reality is: is it on a well-known site with a famous person’s name attached.
This is a bug, and should be fixed in the next version. It happens in Top Day too sometimes.

A simple trick is to browse page 0 instead of page 1, by editing the URL.

"Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.

I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two sided market," where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them."

Based on comments I've seen, they didn't even try that hard - they're just automatically messaging mods of all private subreddits. People with subs that have been private for years are receiving messages.

> Note that it's legally free to drink here.

for everyone or just non-muslims? like in malaysia, you have to be non-muslim to buy alcohol. malaysia has quite a unique population though. indonesia regulates it heavily, you need to have money to drink, but it is only totally banned in a couple of provinces.
How does ensembling work? What
Didn't Ms have a pretty lax stance on piracy in the last decade or so?

Letting you download images, windows just showing "not genuine" instead of refusing to start etc..

What does this do that cannot be accomplished with the other YC open source billing tools– Lago and lotus
I guess I don't really care what the auth mechanism is, so long as I'm not required to use Google or Facebook. The Mastodon experience is pretty good (not great) in my experience, so I was basing my mental model on that. Really, I'd love to just have NNTP or something similar. I don't want the Slack model where I can't have more than one workplace open at a time. That solves the not needing more than one app problem, but still means switching between communities would have unnecessary friction.
Cultural Hints
Surely you see a difference between serving pictures and serving text.
I just really liked the simplicity of Google Domains, and all the other registrars seem like they have other agendas. I'm sure I could move to a legacy option like Namecheap... I was just hoping that there was something better out there.
Making apps effectively unusable after also making the mobile website effectively unusable is very bad behavior to your users.
> It's not the 90s anymore ram is cheap, especially at those amount.

I just wrote the exact same thing in another comment.

That's what the problem is ... it's the old timers complaining that things aren't native, thus they are RAM hogs and are slow by default. Even if they are fast, they are "slow and bloated" just because it's the gut reaction when you have layers on layers of other stuff over native code.

And I'm an old timer but I am not complaining. I love VS Code and I think it's blazing fast for what I need it for, a large Angular enterprise application.
> I think they’re pointing out that if you feel like what you’re doing really matters then burn out doesn’t happen.

I think the response pointed out this is false.
I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or trying to make some joke. If you are being serious, what you said makes no sense to me.

Why do you think taxes that are applied to companies will instead be a tax against your paycheck?

Note: increased cost for products is not what we are talking about. Pretending a tax on everyone is the same as a price increase on an optional product misses the point entirely. So please, answer the question.
Advertisers are getting serious at believing the only metrics that matters: actual sales correlation with an online advertisement campaign.
Yah, I knew someone would reply something like that.

Just because someone sometimes says something without understand does not in slightest mean that that is the common occurrence.
So long as it's a known thing, I trust it will improve. It's just unfortunate that it had to be this broken during Lemmy's most opportune moment to capture new users.

That, among other things, is creating a lot of friction for new users at the moment though.
I have nothing useful to add here except to say that I use your audio plugins regularly and greatly appreciate the work you do! Your active, well-considered stance here is also admirable.
I'm not so much concerned with figuring out scaling in terms of volume as I expect to be able to handle millions of rows in a single DB and that would be an implementation detail and fine tuning. I'm more concerned about scaling in terms of complexity and keeping the system easy to reason about when more people, tech are involved.

Lets say I have a <CAR>-[1:N]-<TRIP> in two tables in a relational DB. This works fine at first even for millions of rows as you say.

At some point in the future it makes sense to have these two entities managed by different team/services/db. Let's say TRIP becomes a whole feature laden thing with fares, hotels, itinerary, dates. So I need to take this local relation and move it to different services and different DB.

If I had been using an integer PK/FK this would be a more complicated migration than if I used UUIDs.

My assumption is that we would not want to have a sequenced integer key used in a distributed system.

In other words it seems safer bet if there's a possibility of needing to move to a distributed system to use a UUID for the key from the beginning.
Any advise whether 1-person business or well funded startup needs to be taken with grain of salt and check if it is really applicable for you.

>>Target businesses. Not consumers

I was a developer with decent sense of Product Management. Hated Management and Sales related activities.
Apps in App Stores targeting consumers really worked out well for me. Having been running my business for 12 years+ profitably.
Sometimes the audio recording is so bad it hinders comprehension. Generally, this is the case where the camera mic is used, and it's set up on the other side of the room. I've encountered a number of tutorial-style videos where there's so much room noise, it's an effort to distinguish the syllables being spoken.
It's much simpler. People in Ukraine, and everwhere in Eastern Europe compare the future that Russia offers them, and the future the West offers them. I'm sure some are swayed by high minded theoretical ideas, but not many.

They choose the West. We all know why. Money you could say, but it's more something like "a better life". And yes, the Holodomor is part of this. That came from the east. Something else starting with "Holo" also came, but from the West.

But if Maidan proved anything, it's that the West offers Ukrane a better life, in the mind of Ukranians, a better Future. It's not really about history. And, of course, this government will not let that go.

You can say the same about everyone from Estonia to, really, even Turkey (I mean, at this point they're seriously insulted by the West ... but not nearly insulted enough to choose Russia's side).

And Russia is afraid. They're "locked in" with impossible to defend borders. They're not friends with the West ... and they're not quite insane enough to imagine China is their friend either. So the idea that Putin initially defended, that without a "buffer zone": countries that will fight or at least obstruct the west, Russia cannot avoid losing large amounts of territory very quickly if it comes to an open conflict, from either side. And they cannot really project power over the sea, without approval from either Europe or China either (or if the Arctic melts, with US agreement). They're fucked, or at least, you have to admit there's a logic there.
Imagine if _any_ other drug were described that way. "A sizable portion of the population using meth has no ability to behave when under the influence and probably shouldn't be doing meth." In other words, stop ruining it for the rest of us who can do meth responsibly.

The alcohol industry has essentially brainwashed society into thinking that if you can't drink alcohol routinely without having some problem controlling yourself, then it's your own fault. And if you become addicted or have any other serious issues, you must have a serious genetic defect.

Again, imagine if people said that about some other drug. "He can't hold his heroin. Runs in the family."

Talk about effective marketing.

> * Robotaxi violates traffic laws like blocking a fire engine? Fine of $10,000

$10,000 seems fair. A blocked fire engine could only lead to delay firefighters to get where they’re going. What’s the worst that could happen? A few building burn down? Somebody has to wait to receive medical intervention?

In the scale of things that’s a small price to pay to uh, eventually avoid small talk with Uber drivers. /s

“ The model can be accessed via ClipDrop today with API coming shortly. Research weights are now available with an open release coming mid-July as we move to 1.0.”

I read this as: commercial use through our API now, self hosted commercial use in July.
I'd wager it wasn't worth the hassle. Steam isn't just a monopoly, it's a monopoly that's not actively committed to being terrible. People, on the whole, like Steam. And that's a huge moat. When going toe-to-toe with a monopoly, normally your snowball's-chance-in-hell chance comes from the fact that people aren't happy about the monopoly, because the monopoly got complacent, started squeezing people for everything they can get, and just generally being awful, because hey, where else will you go? But Steam hasn't done that, so on top of overcoming the market momentum in their favor, you also have to go above and beyond to make a better product.
The VDOM was never about performance problems with the actual dom. It was always slower as you still have to mutate the actual DOM. The "VDOM if faster" was always FUD.

The VDOM was invited to prevent bugs by removing the difficult of managing fine grade DOM mutations. Technically you are doing more work with a VDOM and diffing, than carefully mutating the DOM, it's slower.

Of course if you just threw away the whole DOM and re built it, then he's the VDOM was quicker, but that's not how anyone was building stuff.
Well, there's more to the world than just the Anglosphere. De Cock is also a popular surname in France and Belgium.
It seems like they're conflating the need to run a specific software stack with the need to do configuration management in general. Configuration management doesn't go away with WebAssembly as they're describing. You're just making fatter statically-linked processes that boil down to interpreters plus source code. People are already statically linking with EG GoLang or .NET Core anyway.

So I would guess that the future is static linkage with control groups moreso than it is a specific JavaScript/TypeScript software stack running in a specific runtime. Frankly the way we're shipping dependencies in what are basically checksummed tarball blobs is an echo back to static linkage at a time when most OS platforms have gone very deeply down the dynamic linkage rabbit hole to the degree where everyone is shipping dynamic libs instead of statically linking those libs into their executable.

Control Groups are supposed to provide process isolation but are being used to solve this configuration management issue as well because a particular company decided to use chroot in this way.
Permutation City isn't that tough, is it?

I'm not claiming that I have ever been clever enough to think up the idea myself, but upon reading it was almost intuitive. I'm half-convinced that our own universe works something like in that story.
I don't think discord is a valid replacement. One of the best parts of reddit was the easily browsable/searchable Forum like threading. Where there are communities for a given theme, and threads branching off of that group. Discord is great for realtime chat, but a significant pain for async conversations. In general for information access I personally don't like to search through chats because the threading is too shallow, and conversations are had at the root, aka group level.
Yes, we are looking into possibly supporting in-place upgrades in future releases.
Users do care. Reddit has been going through enshittification for years and this most recent change is the straw that broke the camels back. I don't know why there's so many Reddit shills on Hackernews pretending like it's just power-tripping moderators. It isn't. It's a huge subset of the Reddit community who've been using it for over a decade who are so sick of how bad it's gotten. It's obvious old.reddit is next; because Reddit was able to bust this protest, they do it again, and again.
Is this a like with like comparison?

Is delivering an image of comparable cost to delivering text via an api?

I have zero experience in this area so could learn something.
>That said, perhaps moderators and users should be willing to admit that Reddit produces some of the value here.

The question of who produces the value is subjective and largely meaningless. Reddit would have no value if nobody posted. But it would have no value if Reddit turned off the servers. Reddit would have no value if the power company shut off the electricity. It doesn't matter who "creates more value". All that matters is who has more control and leverage, and how much they are willing to exercise it.

This is a universal truth.
They drank FAR FAR more in the past (milk consumption is way down), and the composition is the same.
i dont think this person is stating that knowing the wrong people makes you a loser. it's that complaining about others getting jobs or opportunities centered around "they only got that because they knew someone" is generally a sentiment shared by losers. its a strong take, and i don't know if i agree/disagree, but there does seem to be a general trend of people who are always complaining about external forces are the ones that don't tend to ever gain any success or move up.
"Deep coroutines:" where you can yield from a function called from the coroutine. Lua supports this, but python doesn't (as far as I can tell). Is there a term for this?

To the author: you could make the code even cleaner by moving the yield to within the action functions. Though maybe this won't work as well for parallel actions...

Funny enough, I just tried editing the url and the first post on the resultant page was https://lemmy.world/post/433283 (a post in the Fediverse community asking why they keep seeing new posts show up in all sorting types)

I will say that doing so on the "new comments" sorting type did still yield a good number of no-comment posts.
Not enough RAM in your 1080TI

Edit - it’s not the RAM. 1080TI has 11GB and this press release says it requires 8. So I’m going to speculate that it’s because 1080 lacks tensor cores compared to the 20x’s Turing architecture
It's not obvious to everyone. Some of us would need to hear some reasoning before we'd find this line convincing.
