I'm guessing that the devs working on Reddit's app are fully aware of why people talk poorly about it. I'm further guessing that it's the way it is because of requirements being imposed on them rather than their own decisionmaking.

I also have to assume they're fine with it all, or they'd take their skills elsewhere.

Mdma is tricky, but psilocybin is easy. Psilocybe cubensis can be grown easily at significant scale outside its natural ecosystem, due to work by the late Terence Mckenna and his brother Dennis.

I tried using racket to do something useful and totally failed each time. Even if you are a single programmer making some kind of prototype I think we have gotten beyond the stage of picking a small language.

Also, doing a rewrite into an Ml style language is really strange when they should probably be trying to become more competitive with other languages by building more batteries for it or fixing fundamental problems that were outlined here.

In part, because the Java ecosystem kept getting more complicated. Fifteen or so years ago I was a full-time Java developer, but I wouldn't know half of what I need to know today, and I'm not very interested in going that route. Java kept the language simple-ish (not really, because they have added a lot on top of it), but the stack grew rapidly, and you have to know the tooling to function in that environment.

Python remains a lot simpler. It is getting more complex, but it has miles to go before it reaches Java-land.
Great project!

A comment I'd have is that it's quite hard to find out who authored this fine piece of software.
Question: If you'd rather they didn't exist than be ad-supported, why not just ignore them? Surely VC money wasn't going to keep things like YouTube, Uber, and the rest artificially cheap or free with no strings forever, right?

I feel like due to the VC-enabled delayed monetization that tends to happen with startups, we have all (me included) become convinced that it's sustainable to expect a bunch of ad-free, subscription-free content that just creates itself and teleports onto our computer, forever and ever. TANSTAAFL though.
I think it's pay to win in the sense that there are multiple subscription tiers, and if you only pay for basic, you're not winning against the players paying for gold++.

As for YouTube, what should they do? I see 3 options but maybe I'm missing some:

1. Make everyone pay

2. Make everyone either watch ads or pay, user's choice

3. Eliminate all ads. Since there would be little reason to sign up for YTP once ads are eliminated, they're going to have to have "Pledge drives" where they try to beg you to pay just out of generosity, to support a public service for all. Somehow this seems like it'll never not lose huge amounts of money.

4. (sort of the status quo up till now) Nerds get to block ads, and are subsidized by Premium subscribers and suckers.

Admittedly option 3 sounds stupid, I just can't think of any other options for YouTube where it doesn't cease to exist.
Pretty funny to say package management is table stakes and use go as an example. For a long time they had nothing, then hacky workarounds, and now they have a first party hacky workaround
No. Centralizing control of something that was designed to be distributed is what is stupid.

The Internet is supposed to be distributed. We've gotten so used to consolidated services that we have forgotten this lesson.

We've a more "classic" changelog in GitHub [1], I see the blog post as an editorial view of the changelog: highlights of main features/changes with some context.

> The average YouTube content creator makes less than 0.02 per ad view

The number I see tends to fluctuate between $1 to $1.50 per 1,000 views, or about $0.001 to $0.0015 per view. (YouTube makes around twice that in direct gross revenue, and splits it up 55% to 45% between the creator and the platform, respectively.)

This obviously fluctuates substantially: if you produce videos that are viewed by prime demographics advertisers are more interested in, you tend to make more. YouTube also has better individual deals signed with their topmost creators, giving them a better revenue split or a different advertiser pool that’s willing to pay more for the most popular YouTubers. Shorts and livestreams also work a bit differently, but that’s too complicated to get into here.

CGP Grey has a great video on how YouTube ads work: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KW0eUrUiyxo

Sponsors, meanwhile, typically offer massively better rates. Estimates very a lot more, and it depends on your individual track record as a creator, but I’ve seen numbers thrown around ranging from $2.50 to $10 per 1,000 views at the lower end. The biggest creators are apparently being quoted $50 or more per 1,000 views, and that number goes up exponentially as your channel grows.

That’s why seemingly every YouTuber is taking those deals, they’re unbelievably lucrative compared to the integrated YouTube ads. Combine that with a healthy Patreon and it’s no wonder why YouTubers are still able to do so well despite Google infamously difficult behavior.
It’s metaphorically and literally true for we have lost the credibility with our only paying customers. (We’ll change the text just in case, thank you)

This is extraordinary because Goldman Sachs has been negotiating contracts for 150 years, from companies to governments. You can't expect them to win every bet, but it's a striking example that a tech company might have better financiers than a financial one.

But Apple could take it to an 11 too. If they finance your equipment and you fall behind on your payments, guess whose equipment just went into lock-out mode... Apple could then allow the device to be returned to an Apple Store, and credit will be applied to the account. A voluntary return policy, only throw in a carrot of if you provide a memory stick, they'll make you a copy of the data for a small nominal fee.
Valve has been really good at providing parts for fixing or even upgrading the deck from the very beginning. They even replaced the bad first edition fans for everyone who wanted - or you could order a new one and swap it yourself with picture by picture instructions.

Swapping the sticks to hall effect is like a two beer job. The battery is replaceable - and maybe upgradable in the future etc.

The Asus ROG Ally is more powerful than the Deck, but Asus isn't known for their after market support...

Totally ignoring your point and ranting about how much I hate Rust from easiness of working with.

Not the language itself (which I love) I can write code so quickly in it, and I didn't struggle for very long with fighting the borrow checker, which seems to turn so many other people off.

It's everything else. Long build times. "Modern" dependency management, which seems to mean package X only works with 0.6.x of package Z and package Y only works with 0.7.x of package Z and the current version of package Z is 0.8 and has a bugfix you really need. Though I should say that very few languages with a central repository don't have this problem; you make it easy to depend on libraries with unstable APIs and everyone will rush to do it.

It’s the truth.

The retail bank was a mess. It’s a stepping stone for Solomon to disrupt the trading culture and take control of the bank from the investment bank. It costs a lot to set up a retail bank, and the political will was there to start but not to finish. The politics around the retail bank was hyper toxic, with a classic us and them mentality. The established tech and back office were marginalized and the retail bank tried to build it all themselves but learned the hard way very late those groups exist for a reason - regulatory and security bars are super high and can’t be achieved by hubris alone. Apple had extremely aggressive asks of the technical stack, they outsourced a lot of core stuff to SaaS finserv at a high margin, and a bunch of other issues. Finally the timing of it all was awful. They started in a super low rates cash flush world and things have gotten harder everywhere for them.

> Nuclear exists for 60 years now, and still has no real long term storage solution

I can't do much in terms of discussion if you're not willing to accept the existing designs for subterranean storage as a long term solution.

> If you are struggling now with "paid off" plants

Besides the scare quotes, the previous plants were, indeed, paid off. That is the proof that they worked as an investment.

But, as with storage, you seem to be uninterested in how the company works, what the unit costs are, or where the debt comes from. It seems pointless to keep discussing the matter, as you're unwilling to listen.

> In the first case you say "wait until you figure everything out", in the second "the research is ongoing".

I have explained my position in the previous message. It's ok if you don't want to acknowledge it, but please don't put words in my mouth.

Also, storage research has been completed for about a decade now.
OK, true believers, correct me if this anecdote is wrong in some way.

So Wizards has put out a few releases of a joke set called "Unglued" where the cards are completely unserious in-jokes, sometimes with unplayable or really meta game mechanics.

One Unglued set featured a card whose effect was derived by throwing it in the air and then seeing which other card(s) it landed on. So far so good. But apparently there was some "emergent gameplay" as we say, and players began tearing the card into small confetti so that it would touch many cards on the playing field and have an outsized effect.

So the even more emergent effect here was, of course, that tearing the card into bits made intact ones even rarer than ever, and so this card, whatever it was, became one of the most valuable and sought-after cards of the whole game.

Side note: One time I was so angry at an opponent that I ripped his card into two and threw it back at him; it was not one of these cards, and thankfully he did not punch me in the face.
Why the hell are government agencies using Twitter/Facebook for official communication in the first place?

At the very least if these sites are being used for official communication that might be critical to peoples safety some sort of privileged status or ToS should be negotiated. Can you imagine Musk banning some random non-USA government agency because he had a fit while high at 3 am?

PlayCanvas Integrates SketchFab Store
Can someone ask Canonical to reboot their server that serves out metadata about which file is in which package? Or is this their response to the Red Hat / Centos kerfuffle? Or were we supposed to use the debian site?

So ...

1. 5k acre grain fields are an artificial monoculture we created that happens to be a great habitat for field mice. This versus going to dolphins' natural habitat and killing them while taking their food.

2. Those 5k acre industrially processed grain fields are actually a horrible way to farm and are reducing the arability of the land much more quickly than any other method we've come up with, so I view your comment as yet another reason why we need to wipe out megafarming and replace it with something more sustainable.

3. And before you bring up "but we'll starve!"

a. We will anyway since we're using the land without replenishing it, and

b. we could just stop wasting 40% of the food we produce to make up any deficit that comes from sustainable or regenerative farming, and

c. you're trying to draw some sort of equivalency between dolphins and mice, so I just ask you to extend that equivalency to humans and ask yourself why people are any more important than the other 2.
> The Twitter experience is so devotedly wretched

Even the content aside (that you have to wade through), just from a technical perspective the Twitter experience leaves a lot to be desired.

Personally I consider GPL an _implementation_ of copyleft rather than copyleft itself.
Seems like pocket is losing a lot of its value due to more sites not working with its article view. I've stopped using it because of that and also because it doesn't work well for pages that aren't articles and I didn't like having to maintain multiple bookmarking tools.

That being said, if it was more integrated with Firefox and Firefox's bookmarking tools, that might make it compelling for me again, so maybe this is a good thing....
Does it really change his point?
Then your developer should learn that "done" means more than "works on their machine".

The difference between devs and dedicated QA people is that devs know the dark corners of the implementation. They know the edge cases and scenarios that they struggled with getting right. That's where most testing focus has to be. QA doesn't know any of that. They can play through some scenarios that are the expected ones from the spec, perhaps have some hunch of what could be the tricky cases, but they don't actually know.

I love seeing all those downvotes for my GP comment. That's all the people working at companies where stuff that devs feel is below them is dumped on QA people, which is the main reason my company is well-known for shipping top quality (without having a QA dept) while our competitors struggle with quality (despite having a QA dept). That's all the evidence I need to back up my claim.
> It means it's not worth the repair costs because it's cheaper to buy a new one.

No, it just means insurers are assholes rigging the game.

A simple example: my personal MacBook broke. MacBooks are written off in 5 years. My insurer only wants to pay the surplus value (€200).

I tell them okay, instead of the €200 find me a replacement MacBook of the same model and year with approximately the same config. “Sorry sir we don’t do that.”

Okay, do they think I can find the same MacBook for €200? “Probably not sir..”

Fuck insurers.
sign me up as well! I would def be interested too.
You can blame this all you want on evil social media corporations, but the reality is AI companies scraping public conversations to feed LLMs are the current reason for walls being erected around every single garden. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn.. all heading toward full walled garden mode to prevent scrapers from repurposing data and profiting off their systems.

Federated systems are a nice idea, but they're not funded and will crumble under the same pressure until they too go into private mode. It's simply not a financially sound decision to run an open node that is continually harvested by corporations seeking to profit off the conversations occurring on your platforms.
> Why did anyone ever abandon Java
Boilerplate code.

Java applications (mostly picking on tomcat here) being pretty much their own world of configuration, with lots of different places to look.

Slow startup time pretty much kills it for lots of things I'd wanna write.

It's memory management stuff sucks, from a sysadmins perspective. Any java application I deploy takes easily multiple times more memory than anything similar in a non-JVM language.
Forcing employees to handshake is maybe the most bizarre company policy I've ever seen. I've known multiple people who were uncomfortable with handshaking. I imagine that if this company didn't get in trouble for discriminating against someone because of their religion which prohibited getting touchy touchy with members of the opposite sex, that they would have run into trouble eventually for discriminating against someone with OCD.

I'd give them a pass if being an interpreter actually required you to touch strangers as a function of the job, but give me break.
Or how about hijacking the Ctrl-F so we get your rinkydink search tool rather than the browser's built in search.
I have seen that too. It generally means the drive is doing write leveling and/or other tasks. If I have time, I wait for that, too.

However, LEDs become rarer and rarer these days.
The better example is that small companies could build on CentOS and when those small companies become big or get bought by someone big and get infested with useless middle management, RedHat could then sell support contracts into those businesses. CentOS was basically a big loss-leader to get lock-in and just wait until middle management went looking to throw money at vendor support to have someone else to blame.

IBM is now going to be cutting that channel off. They might juice a few more contracts in the short term, but mostly they're going to push small businesses away from the RHEL ecosystem entirely and cut off their pipeline of new leads.
(There are good TBE vaccines already.)

Valneva/Pfizer are developing a Lyme disease vaccine, VLA15:

https://valneva.com/research-development/lyme-disease/

It's being widely tested in many US/EU locales.

15k people in the small south-eastern region of Sweden where I live have already gotten the shot 3 times, as an example. There are about 50 such test regions, so the testing is quite wide already.

The current plan calls for general availability in US/EU in 2026. Before May the plan was 2025.
You're right, no pure capitalism is possible and therefore arguments against the bad aspects of capitalism are invalid.

Anyway, maybe the reason "Americans are not lying in poverty begging for food relative to the past" (to whatever degree that is true or not) would be because of the aspects of American government that aren't capitalist.

If you are on board with analogies, consider like a government system called "orphan crushing" with two main pillars: one is that they crush every orphan and the other is that they give free lunches. Imagine that someone says that maybe we shouldn't crush orphans. Then someone rebuts that by saying, well everyone likes the free lunches we get here so the "orphan crushing" system of government must be good. Besides, a pure "orphan crushing" government has never been implemented and never will be, so do we really need an argument against it?
