It is part of a campaign based on the fact that Reddit doesn't run ads against NSFW content, so high user count subs can mark everything NSFW (whether it is or not) and hurt Reddit in their cashflow.

For some of the subreddits this isn't as far fetched as for others; /r/videos is more of a work to rule to protest given they're now taking swearing very seriously. You have to think of the 14 year old kids that use reddit.
The thing is: can I buy a big OLED and use it for whatever, without doing anything special to take care of it, and not have it suffer from burn in 10 years from now?

A Monad is just something to which certain properties apply. An easier example to grasp is a Monoid, which is anything that has an associative binary operator, and an identity element. E.g. nonnegative integers’ addition with 0 is such. Or any list with a concat operation, and the empty list.

So even in weaker languages you get monads the difference is that you can’t abstract over them. Your Haskell code can take a Monad, and work with those, most other languages (I believe Rust included) can’t handle them uniformly all over the language. But they can have types that are mathematically speaking monads.

Software failures don't usually visibly lose money, make a mess, or kill people. (Sometimes they do, see RISKS). So it's possible to have the usual sort of software project failure where something is 200% over budget and time, without anyone really waking up. But if a pressure vessel goes bang people tend to notice.

Now, this is surprising. I randomly clicked on that link and I immediately see that the code and the patch has a bug. It only checks the first 8 characters:

- if (gr != NULL && strncmp(gr->gr_name, "operator", 8) == 0)
+ if (gr != NULL && strncmp(gr->gr_name, "_shutdown", 8) == 0)

so it will also match a group named "_shutdow" or "_shutdow1234" because only the first 8 characters matter.

A trivial silly mistake like this is... not what I expected considering OpenBSD's reputation for security.
as someone who worked for a car manufacturer, you are wrong.

What people perceive as a quality car, is often a lack of understanding. Some think they are driving a fine car, but someone who pays attention notices that the door gaps are not uniform, that the plastic on the inside will start to smell bad in summer, that you will get a lot more fatigue because of wind noise and tire noise, that the sound of the door being slammed shut is very hollow instead of a nice THUNK, that the automatic gear box often eats its gears, especially when driving slow, ...

There are many details normal people don't even notice about their cars, and then they claim it is a quality car. It is not, I am sorry, and it is the perfect analogy for this ChatGPT/Bard being a code generator.

> how do I get him learning programming in a fun way?

Processing / P5.js can be pretty fun to learn. You use a real programming language to create art and animations. With little code you can get a circle on the screen, then making it move, then following the mouse cursor, then adding other shapes, then changing colour depending on some event… It’s conductive to experimentation and a way to gradually introduce concepts.

I'm curious, what makes you conclude Adobe overpaid for Figma?
That sounds a bit similar to progressive muscle relaxation[1], where one goes through different muscle groups and tenses, then relaxes them one after the other.

So is an argument that an LLM has no knowledge because it can't reason about justification of it's replies? I could see that. A lot of justification is just "because I read it in a book I trust" or "heard it from an authority" which isn't all that dissimilar to an LLM's outcome. An LLMs response is also justified by it's training, not unlike a person in a position of authority.

It doesn't challenge the idea that both a religious believer and non-believer have a certain knowledge of the world. These kinds of conflicts of knowledge are common, not just in religion, there is no single understanding of the world to reference against.
My phone screen is >600ppi. My e-book reader (e-ink) is 300ppi. For me 300ppi seems to be the point at which things start to look "pixel-less". A 300ppi e-ink display looks remarkably close to paper print quality. I think popularity of sans serif fonts online is mostly due to serif fonts looking shit on low PPI displays. It would be really nice to have a 300ppi monitor just so I could switch to more pleasing fonts.

I think this is part of the reason the MVC names persist, they are so generic that you can describe the Model as a type of View!

Adobe has a much larger reach in the target market. Under Adobe, Figma can potentially double or triple their sales, bringing that ratio to more reasonable levels.

(Of course Adobe’s ability to execute that is far from certain)
I haven't heard about MMO being in general forbidden for 9-15 years old. But I partially agree, that MMO for kids is more complex.

There is already a prodigy math and many other games, that are successful but very old fashion. Also many Roblox games show many MMO features

It's essentially a trade off of responsibility and freedom.

With public transport, you aren't responsible for the logistics of moving yourself. However, you also aren't free to move as you please.

With private transport, you are responsible for the logistics of moving yourself. However, you also are free to move as you please.
Having a Neo-QLED myself, the brightness is definitely a plus - still a bit dimmer than I'd like with daylight, but certainly better than having, you know, half the brightness with an regular OLED...

The main downside I can note is that the dimming zones are way too large - especially noticeable with local dimming set to High, and credits scrolling. Not noticeable for normal content though. Mini-LED backlight would have made it indistinguishable from most OLEDs in anything but the darkest of cinema rooms...
The dome shape is a structural necessity to withstand the pressure, like in a soda can. Else you would need more material, more material means more weight, more weight means more bouyancy required which again means more weight etc.

The fact that they're used for general purpose use-cases and the fact that they're hosting applications for a wide set of other businesses which are threatened by possible anti-competitive actions of platform holders.

Xbox is a device that hosts video games and media services. A phone is hosting all those and hundreds of other use-cases, from banking and financial services, to hardware access via IoT interfaces, car integration and myriad of other applications.
I did this a few times on a specific route. It was a +-R1400km trip where about two thirds is desert, and the last third is grasslands. The last time I did this was in January 2022.
I find it very relaxing to drive alone on a highway for 16 hours straight, especially if you are taking it easy.
I do this a lot, it's very relaxing and a good way to take time to just think. When I lived in Seattle I'd often extend my drive home from work by an hour or two. It really helps to turn off work mode. All my holidays are road trips.

The longest one has been a 4400 mile EV (CCS) roadtrip in 2 weeks in July 2021, taking me from Seattle to Yellowstone to Arches to Big Sur and back.

Now that I'm back in Europe and no longer own a car it's probably the one thing I miss most about living in the US, the amount of unseen roads available to go drive on.

No? Most humans don’t randomly vomit text based on what sounds good.

Which shows a much higher level of understanding, both of the field (which may be flawed), and of their own understanding of the field (which they point out).

An LLM does not to that, it doesn’t just repeat potentially wrong hearsay or incorrect memories (let alone having actual understanding and knowledge of the field), it confidently writes out delusions.

No, they don't, not any more. That was decades ago.

I don’t think this is obvious at all. Ignore the algorithm and temperature and all that for a bit and just have it show you the word probabilities. I wouldn’t bat an eye if the entirety of dune was in there.
Of course. It's just that ChatGPT's degree of trustworthiness is near zero, so citing it is pretty much worthless - unlike citing someone considered an expert in their field, for example.

It may still be a very useful tool, but not when used this way.
Yeah, I get your point, but was responding to this:

> Basically, NixOS = zero QA effort from application developer -> nothing works.

"zero QA effort from application developer" does not imply that "nothing works" if the distro and community put in the effort instead.
Just wondering. In the country I live in, we need to pay annual land tax. So if you own a huge land, every year you have huge tax to pay. What's the thought process of people buying vast land like this in the first place? To develop private housing?
at some points it starts to resemble more of a lossy compression algorithm.
The 'next most likely word' aspect of it all seem to encode entire sequences of text. Especially if it is a bit of a niche domain. Then these texts can be 'retrieved' from the 'compressed' set of examples.
I actually find it a helpful reminder. "People spout shit. Don't just blindly trust it". Otherwise, you end up chasing things, thinking they help, when there is little evidence backing it up other than someone's opinion.
I'm starting to think the EU is loud but rather toothless when it comes to merges relating primarily to digital services and products.

They've certainly blocked their share of telecommunication, retail, and airline industry merges — but after allowing the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft, I wonder if its all bark and no bite.

There's currently a trend towards shitting on microservices-everything, imo largely justified. But missing from that is that identifying a logical feature and moving it to a microservice is one of the safer ways to begin a gradual rewrite of a critical system. And usually possible to get cross-dept buyin for various not always wholesome reasons. It may not always be the best technical solution but it's often the best political one when a rewrite is necessary.
I was surprised this article was talking about driving alone in a car in nature, which is just a lamer version of going hiking, which is not cool, instead of driving alone in a car at night on the Autobahn, which is cool.
A steak and a piece of fish requires no other ingredients other than salt to be delicious.

Many veggies can be delicious with just some heat + salt; though adding a few spices certainly helps.

I'd much rather eat a perfectly cooked skirt steak with home made chimichuri and a side of veggies than a domino's pizza.

At the same time, Reddit entirely depends on these people to keep these segments of website safe and decent (not to mention ad-friendly). And these people depended on efficient 3rd party tools to carry out this form of free labor.

It is a much more delicate balance of power than what is found on most other social platforms. Some described (aptly in my view) this status quo as more akin to feudalism than to a nation state. Yeah the "land" may belong to you, but being nice to your stewards goes a long way if you want your head to remain attached to your neck.
Thank god this is happening. It cut down my reddit time and replaced it with actually doing some work.

There's a high chance a company will have already paid a large subscription fee to Microsoft for Office 365, and so they don't want to pay yet another licence fee on top for a tool that's already included with that. The people making these financial decisions are usually not the users of said tool.
I don't think ownership is the right descriptor for how most mods feel about "their" subreddit.

I would hazard a guess that most mods feel more like stakeholders, having already done a large amount of unpaid labour should entitle them to have some say over the future direction of that subreddit.
You know what's the worst? Someone barging in into an established engineering domain and making spot judgements. This is simply incredible hubris that often is the hallmark of stupid but educated people.

If some brilliant improvement occurred to you in the first 5 seconds of hearing about some technical solution chances are this thought visited others in the past 100 years working on the problem for a living.

And if you hang around the problem just a wee longer and start actually thinking you quickly begin start to see the rationale why it was discarded. Like here, when there's a problem with air supply and the inhabitants are incapacitated, how do you open the bloody thing? But no, our hero never gets as far, he's already in a sister thread explaining how dumb it is seat belts get stuck when you pull them too fast or something.
There are tons of "unseen roads" in Europe, you just have to get out of the populated bits.

>Similarly, I think many humans would like to differentiate between, "resumefinal.docx" and "resumeFINAL.docx"

Would they? Both are the "final resume" Word document...

Humans don't care about case in distinguishing names. Considering case differences as important distinctions between names (of files in this case) is something instilled from using computers, not a human trait. That's a concern for coders, proof-readers, and other OCD types.

Not to mention that the most popular Desktop OSes (Windows, MacOS) don't care for file case either. They preserve it for visual display is you set it, but two filenames with differences in case only are the same file - and can't coexist.
> If you're trying to find a job, you're not applying for "anything and everything". You're applying for a specific role.

Strong agree.

I'd only add that you might have way better chances reaching to people personally rather than using traditional channels. It might sound obvious, but it's easy to forget that you can use the same skills you've built as a founder to find a job. Just messaging a few people working in the industry you care about and scheduling some calls can go a long way.
Yeah, it's not nearly as clear cut as someone running their own forum. It's almost irrelevant that someone happened to register /r/politics or r/worldnews first - those are categories of discussion, and so their size is directly proportional to Reddit's size. The moderators don't own that community (even if they think they do). If the moderators declare that they're moving to Lemmy, let them. I think they'll quickly realise that people aren't on those subreddits because of them.

There's a real frustration when you join a new subreddit, and you think you're joining a category of discussion and quickly discover (by having a post removed) that this particular category has someone who enforces a huge list of arcane rules.

Obviously there are exceptions. Some subreddits have non-obvious names, and were built into focused communities by the efforts of the moderators. But not all subreddits are equal, and I think this situation has revealed the gulf between them.
> it’s not like there’s this huge pool of “high variance” people that need to be screened out. The vast majority of people are extremely close in both opinion and ability, any semblance of society would be impossible otherwise.

Yes, but I'm saying it's not an accident - I've mentioned mechanisms like culture, social customs, and education, which we've been using in some form for all our recorded history. I should've probably added violent conflicts within and between tribes/groups, too, which also acted to reduce variance, by culling the more volatile and less agreeable people. People today are "extremely close in both opinion and ability" because for the past couple thousands years, generation by generation, we've been busy reducing the variance of individuals.

EDIT: keeping high-variance individuals locked up safely away is just one of the methods we use, specifically to deal with outliers. It too traces back to the dawn of recorded history - shunning, expelling individuals from the tribe (which often meant certain death), sending them to faraway lands, or forcing them into war, were other common means past societies used to eliminate high-variance outliers.

As for authority, it's a separate topic - I argue that hierarchical governance is an artifact of scale: it's necessary to coordinate groups past certain size (~Dunbar's number), when our basic social intuitions are no longer up to the task. But the first level of hierarchy can handle only so many people, and if you want to coordinate multiple such groups, you need to add another layer... and that's how, over time, human societies scaled from tribes of couple dozen people, to nation states of hundreds of millions.

Even as the focus is usually on the national governments, the entire hierarchy is still there - you have states and lands/vovoidships/counties with their own governance, then another level for a major city and surrounding villages, then yet another level in each individual village, and one or two levels in the city itself, etc. We don't often pay attention to it, but the hierarchy of governance does reach down, in some form, all the way to groups of couple hundred people or less.

Importantly, it’s lack of trade barriers but all the rest of the mix, too. Ie if one part of a bilateral trade deal doesn’t honor IP rights of the other side there’s problems. Also linking countries with hugely different wage levels can be destabilizing to the more developed. Those factors probably could have been mitigated.

> A function of this type is naturally going to return a file every time because a file is always useful, even when there is failure.

You might want to look at what Go does with zero-valued File. At best it ignores them and returns an error, at worst it panics.

There is no situation where a zero-valued file is useful.
I just argued against the OP by referring to the ancient Greek (and Roman) genre of bucolic poetry, but here, too, I should note that that same genre depicted the wilderness as a good place to play one’s flute or lyre. Maybe people with Bluetooth speakers are just continuing an ancient tradition.
You’re right that no mod owns a particular subreddit, but Reddit does not have a monopoly on communities either.

There are a bunch of forums online which will gladly accept an influx of refugees from reddit, and the world will move on. If there isn’t one, one will form, somewhere.

However, past behaviour also predicts future behaviour. The current actions of board of directors (and the silence of others) speaks volumes.

Reddit may go as far as salting the earth for communities that do end up successfully migrating. I wouldn’t put it past them to hire a troll farm to spam a niche community with low-quality content.

It’s been a nice break away from Reddit.
Historically the bottleneck has been the database IO and then companies value more their human time than technical costs. That's why we have Spring or Python being so awful slow compared with Rust at the backend.

> Either way, I don't see why the people doing the work should not be allowed to (collectively) choose their tools.

Because in a big company you’ll find some things are documented in a combination of jira and confluence while another are in big figma boards and nobody knows where to look (my gf’s company has exactly this problem).

Also in a big company you want to have two teams collaborate but one uses one tool set and the other a different stack and there aren’t enough licenses for both.

And so on. It’s like having each team use its own code formatting rules or coding standard.
