as a mod who did a poll, the community was in favour of going dark. this means only mods can view the content. no one else.

why? well does reddit have any terms and conditions imposed on moderators that they cannot indefinitely take sub that they moderate for free on behalf of reddit who technically has to employ people to do this job?

its a simple equation really, we (mods) do the dirty job for free, users populate the subreddits with content and comments for free, reddit gets to keep income from "awards" as a payment for keeping the whole thing up.

how does "robbing reddit" come into this?

the often thrown around phrase is "reddit owns rights to all content", well if i post a link to a funny news on NYT, does..... reddit get to keep the ownership of that link because i, a third party posted that link on reddit, if that's the case then what happened to rights of NYT? same for comments, if i wrote a comment myself, i will ultimately own all rights and liabilities arising out of that comment, if reddit wants to take "ownership rights" of my comment, they better be ready to face liabilities as well when slander a popular buffoon on reddit?

is that how its going to be?
> Forgetting how hard they are to type in some keyboards, depending on locale?

{ } is just as bad on German keyboard layout ({} is right-Alt 7/0 and [] is right-Alt 8/9 - on Windows at least, don't even remember on the Mac).

That's basically why I switched to English keyboard layout right after I left the Amiga (which actually had a decent German layout for programmers).

What about the studies with clinically depressed people who treat their symptoms as effectively as SSRIs with exercise? I'm thinking specifically of a running therapy study that was done recently, I haven't read the study linked by OP.
Given that tea is literally one of the products of imperialism that the denizens of the British isles cannot enjoy without having enslaved entire nations for the purpose, it is no surprise that the Irish were imbued with the class warfare inherent in the production and acquisition of this resource.

What's shocking is how poorly the classism is recognized in this discourse.

If one is 'poor quality class' because of how one drinks tea, then one is entirely in an utterly degraded class on the basis of how that tea was obtained, for the nation, in the first place ..

No. IPv6 is significantly easier to subnet. I can tell you the start and finish of 2a07:ffdd::/29 from the top of my head (it's 2a07:ffd8:: - 2a07:ffdf:ffff.....), because there's a nibble boundary every 4 bits, which makes it trivial.

IPv6 has 31 nibble boundaries. IPv4 has 3.

> But that doesn't mean that conservatism in general is a bad idea.

It's crazy to me that conservatism has become a dirty word. And I wasn't immune to that either when I was younger. It's only as I've matured that I realized what the word actually means and that conservatism is actually the center on the reactionary-conservative-progressive axis. I also learned that progressivism is mainly ideologies driven from academic circles who consider themselves an intellectual elite that should decide where society is headed and that those circles have been catastrophically wrong in the past with things like eugenics and communism.

> Climate change effects are really minor (beyond having a bit of a hotter summer).

That's patently false. It goes way beyond hotter summers. We're already observing today the increased frequency of extreme weather events (droughs, floodings, hurricanes). Even not taking into account the other changes, just the extreme weather events will massively impact the US.

While I agree that the US will not suffer a famine (though a massive movement of farming activities), there will be global famine events that the richer countries will compensate by buying up all the market and letting poorer countries to suffer.

> Space is limited by regulation and zoning. 90% of the UK is rural. Market rates are high because of the supply not matching the demand, or being allowed to match it.

This does not square with the fact that private builders are leaving nearly half of approved developments unbuilt. It's almost like private builders are incentivised to squeeze the market rather than bring prices down.

> The same number of people would need housing, regardless of whether the houses were privately owned or state owned.

Publicly owned housing: The state makes an initial capital investment which it recoups through a low monthly rent payment. After 30 years the state only pays maintenance costs for the property, covered by the monthly rent. Any excess rent can be reinvested towards the cost of another unit.

Privately rented housing: The state pays market rate rents forever, burning the money. The private landlord pays off the mortgage and gets to pocket more of the money. There's no benefit to the state.

It's the same with social care. The government could build social care, instead we're paying up to £50k/week per child[0] towards some cunt's yacht.

And it's the same with the NHS. Nurses have a hard time and poor pay and some quit. The government then bring in an agency nurse, paying the agency 2-4x the salary of the NHS nurse that will have to babysit them because they aren't familiar with their ward and refusing to raise the rate of pay for their own nurses. The remaining nurses see this and some more quit, agency work pays more and you get to choose when you work. This spirals into a very avoidable staffing crisis.

> I don't understand this. I didn't say no regulation. But there's a huge gap between that and making it incredibly difficult to build. Citing some basic anti-zero regulation argument in response to what I said is disheartening.

I didn't claim you were arguing for no regulation, arguing that regulations should be made more lax in the face of those events is what's disheartening. Those disasters occurred because existing regulations were not sufficiently strict/enforced.

idk, i am new to goland but same thing, tls issue. my tests were very flaky. sometimes they were failing sometimes they weren't. i initially thought it was wsl and goland issue. but after it happened 2-3 times. i ran with goroutines test with -count 50 but it didn't work in goland. then i issued in terminal. which i got to see yup my tests are actually flaky.

i know this is not the best way. but i added a timeout of 10sec. also while asserting i am polling to know if i got a connection.

i understand and i can make it way better. but for now it's good enough.
more importantly, it's better not scatter these kind of codes everywhere.
also making things explicit is better always. like now server.Start is Blocking. and in my tests i am spawning a goroutine, rather than it doing implicitly.

another thing, testing dependencies. i am going to test concurrent handler. and it's not dependent on tls or tcp. i can just use a fake and test the concurrency.
i like this design. scattering these throughout will make every other test integration tests. increasing time to execute and that is bad.

btw, it would have been better if go lang runs tests in parallel.

There is also http://tenox.pdp-11.ru which archives and hoards tons of very old software.

From the readme.html file:

# Tenox Operating Systems Archive

This is an archive of operating systems, firmware, drivers and documentation.
We mostly focus on RISC systems of the 90s and early 2000s.

## Directory structure

The main part of the archive is the /os directory that is sorted by operating system name. Each os subdirectory will have install media, apps and docs for that specific OS. For systems that have multiple names eg. `OSF/1`, `Dec Unix`, `Tru64`, we would name it from first to last, eg. `osf1-tru64`.

The other top level directories like /apps /hw and /docs are for categories that do not fit with an OS. For example apps that run on multiple operating systems or docs for hardware that runs many OSes.

I was stuck maintaining a solution using an abandonware internal transport layer built on technology that died in 2004 and an abandoned ORM on an EAV schema database over SOAP backend in 2022 with much the same "no business value in it" argument. "We're trying to sell the company so profit is of the most importance" transitioned into "we bought you because you make money". So instead we increased our maintenance exposure by adding more necessary features to the wobbly pile (or 'fixing' broken ones) as opposed to resolving the mistakes made over twenty years ago.

Of course the dickhead architect would use articles like this OP as justification for why all of this wasn't a problem.

Algin your method to the top of your screen. Now scroll one more line down. According to your algorithm, it's now impossible to know which line belongs to which scope.

I have a different algorithm:

«Poland initially impressed Intel executives with the speed in which it responded to queries and addressed concerns, Intel said.» Makes sense, and letting Intel build higher, sure, but then comes this: «"We definitely came away with a strong belief that the local government want to make this work." A team from an agency promoting the development of Wroclaw put together a presentation highlighting its quality of life, family facilities, schools, bike lanes, swimming pools and economic and demographic data.»

So in 2023, quality of life means family facilities, schools, bike lanes and swimming pools. That is, it means that in a region with the excellent economic and demographic data of Wroclaw.

Hey, just found out I'm on HN thanks to the Raku blog.
What I meant with terrible package management is shared by all scripting languages. Having all dependencies always requires some sort of setup. Many scripting languages try to address that, e.g. with tools like pipenv, but things rarely work flawlessly. If you use a scripting language, you have to bother with this when you want to use the program, and I find that annoying. Rust does this to you too, and also there, it doesn't always work flawlessly, but at least that's a compile time problem. Once you have a binary, you don't need to deal with that anymore.

If you cannot just run a script, scripting languages lose most of their appeal. At least for me. And package managing has exactly this effect.

PS: also thanks for pointing out how to reduce that to two lines. :D
"accidentally"

Of course they did! /s
Google's increasingly cavalier attitude towards security is concerning:

1) Kids WILL use this to bypass parental / school controls as soon as they learn about it

2) In some contexts (especially as high-stakes test settings, but also some military/prison/finance/medical/legal/etc. settings) this IS a direct security risk

3) Given the embedded browser is not secure, if a lot of kids do this, it WILL lead to someone exploiting this, and machines being compromised and escalations

At Google scale, if 0.001% accounts are impacted by a security vulnerability, that's still tens of thousands of people (you can do the math too). I don't think engineers at Google quite have a perspective on what it means when their decisions (not just security) ruin thousands of lives.

What's astounding is just how good Google's security team was, especially in comparison, maybe 15 years ago. Now, it increasingly reminds me of the path Yahoo took.

Critically, issues build on each other and escalate. Most remote root exploits require overcoming multiple layers of security. Defense-in-depth is important. Google used to address issues when a single layer was breached, before they could combine into someone remotely rooting your phone. Now, Google only fixes security bugs only after they've combined into a severe remote exploit (which often means many devices are compromised before an update goes out).

Constant folding of floats may depend on the compiler of compiler (e.g. 0.5 + x + 0.6 + 0.7), the compiler may be non-deterministic (std::unordered_map<float> constants), and it may depend on the CPU your compiler is running on.
The accident is not the deleting but the not having sufficient backups.
CGNAT is a set of hacks on top of another set of hacks. You can keep stacking NAT on top of NAT for near-infinite amount of IP addresses, but what you can't do is you can't multiply the number of ports.

Before I switched ISPs, my home ISP was using CGNAT with no IPv6. It was trivial to completely screw up the connectivity for myself (and probably a lot of other users) by simply running a BitTorrent client with connection limit disabled.

Popular? Yes. A good solution? Definitely not.

Most probably the gray-beard simply enabled "unattended-upgrades".

In my opinion, definitely not. I knew people excited about and working in Rust back in ~2016 when very few people knew about Rust. They proselytized me, I converted others, et cetera. It's all grassroots spread and has nothing to do with Mozilla marketing.

And that grassroots marketing spread rapidly and easily because of Rust's killer unique features.

I feel the same about "The Red Pill" movie and couldn't see how the criticism aligned with the reality. What I do see often is that entrenched actors and groups will attack, with specially reserved ardor, any artist or production taking a position of understanding and shared interest between groups or actors that are meant to be at odds.

With this movie, the critics could have said the filmmaker, Alex Lee Moyer, avoided the most misogynistic fringe that could be associated with the Men's Rights movement and been correct but that would undermine the safe thing to say, that the _entire_ Men's Rights movement is fringe and misogynistic.

I'm not especially interested in Men's Rights but I thought the movie was a refreshing surprise, commend the risk taken by the creator, and hope people continue to take risks when the evidence leads them into the unexpected.

PS: The film maker went on to make "TFW No GF" which followed and explored lonely, young men. Searching "Alex Lee Moyer", the second result is a Rolling Stone article on this movie with the headline, "‘TFW No GF’ Is a Deeply Uncomfortable Portrayal of Incel Culture". Here are just a couple quotes that show how much bull this director has had thrown her way for her troubles:

> This non-judgmental approach has made many viewers deeply uncomfortable, with writer Eric Langberg tweeting that the film is “one of the most irresponsible docs I’ve ever seen,” leading to a barrage of abuse from incels on Twitter.

> But even if you believe that objectivity is the best approach to capturing a subculture marked by misogyny, violence, and racism, it’s hard to accept the argument that the film’s relationship with its subjects is wholly objective in the first place.

Clearly, how dare she go and explore this sub-culture by meeting and filming some of its members, willing or not, without reminding the audience that these are bad people that say bad things on the internet and laugh at bad jokes.

In my experience, conservatism means tax cuts for the wealthy and whatever it takes to sell them. "Family values" were the sales pitch when I was a kid and they could use that against a president who liked to diddle the interns. Nowadays, they seem to be taking a different direction since the leader of their party is a genital-grabbing philanderer, but he did get them their tax cuts.
