I have uninstalled the app since the protest started and know a few people who did the same. Moderators are literally the only reason Reddit was what it was, and they do it for free. Them and a vibrant community of 3rd party developers are the only differentiators Reddit had. Now it's just another forum, nothing particularly impressive from a technological standpoint (and easily replaceable). Current leadership is taking cues from a social network that is literally bleeding money and a dwindling user base.

As an "actual Reddit user", the only thing I am actually upset about are people like you who clearly can't see the forest for the trees.
Show HN: A webcomics app that works on RSS-like feeds
Hey, this is bam! its a comics app, specifically for Webtoons. Webtoons are vertically scrolling comics (built for mobile phones and popular with younger millennials and Gen Z)

I built a podcast app before this, which 100,000 people use every month, https://podyssey.fm. No one tech company owns podcasts it is a medium that works through RSS feeds.

See this image for a visual on how podcasts work [https://ax0.taddy.org/blog/investment-pitch/podcast-ecosyste...]

See this image for a visual on how bam! works [https://ax0.taddy.org/blog/investment-pitch/taddy-ecosystem....] (its the same!)

If you are a webtoons creator and want to be on the bam! app, you can self-publish your Webtoon, you just have to output a file that conforms to this standard: https://3s-docs.org/comicseries (follow the instructions on how to notify us of your webtoons feed)

If you aren't a developer and a webtoons creators, I also build taddy.org (where all you have to do is drag + drop your artwork and creates the feed for you)

Let me know what you think!

Ouch?

The bad news is that I'd be out of a job if I chose your service in this instance. 47 hours is two full days. For an entire cluster to be down for that long is just unacceptable. Rebuilding a cluster from the last-known-good backup should not take that long, unless there are PBs of data involved; dividing such large data stores into separate clusters/instances seems warranted. Solution archs should steer customers to multiple, smaller clusters (sharding) whenever possible. It is far better to have some customers impacted (or just some of your customer's customers) than have all impacted, in my not so humble opinion.

And, if the data size is smaller, you may want to trigger a full rebuild earlier in your DR workflows just as an insurance policy.

The good news is that only a single cluster was impacted. When the "big boys" go down, everything is impacted... but customers don't really care about that.

Not sure if this impacted customer had other instances that were working for them?
> I think this protest is less popular with actual Reddit users than all of the journalists are trying to suggest.

As a reddit mod and now a lemmy admin, you're right... Sorta.

If you look at all reddit users, most don't care about the protest. They just want to keep consuming their content without being inconvenienced.

If you look at the subset of users who post and generate content, I think the supporter % would be much higher. These are the users that will drive change to alternate platforms. As they stop engaging with reddit so heavily, the eyeballs will likely follow.
To that rule, my team added another: when throwing away the cable, cut it in half. So nobody scrounges a cable out of the garbage can only to waste more time debugging a bad cable.
That's fair, I was more riffing on parent's comment, buzzed on early morning coffee. Not calling you a fascist.

I do agree that the bulk of the foundation of the world's economy is constructed over the petroleum economy. Though I also don't think the nature of power in the world would change significantly if that were to be replaced with something else or if the nationality of the currency it is traded in were to change.
Care to provide some examples?
Business idea: Food truck parked at electric charging stations.

A couple of degrees in average temperature can still translate to peak temperatures that are a lot higher than previously experienced in the region.
This essentially means that gas stations will add fast chargers to their parking spaces, as there is already an European directive mandating a gas station every 100Km (I think) in highways and freeways.
You're still missing the point—it was always intended to be a toy project, and the author has explicitly declared that they are completely done with it and won't be doing any more work. What does it matter how they sort the list of missing items? It's not a todo list in need of prioritization, it's just an "FYI, these are some of the things I never got to".
> Yes, there are situations where home charging in cities is less likely possible.

Didn't you hear? We will have chargers in every street light pole, even in European old-town city centres!
I agree to a point, but the way we talk about this seems very conservative. If someone develops a negative perspective towards their current situation, is that a bad thing?

My interpretation is that social media use leads to ambition and raises people's standards. Seeing other people doing better makes people think about how they can improve their own lives, which leads to less complacency and drives them towards positive change.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that most relationships are crappy. If the average person was to see what a good relationship looks like, they would leave or try to change their current one, which is a good thing. Same applies for careers.
In the late 90s I moved to an area that did not yet have broadband, so my choices were either 56k modem or pay out the nose for ISDN or similar. I got a 2nd phone line, and went the modem route but left it connected 24/7. I kept getting banned from the local ISPs for this exact reason. Luckily I moved out of the area before I ran out of ISPs available without paying long distance charges!
> Crappy usability

Speak for yourself. In my book, paper wins the usability front over apps, because apps suck and have too much personal administrative overhead.
But now we need to make new stuff to live there... which people have been living there since before history so it's not exactly inhospitable. When your car seat melts that market has a solution, more production! Maybe not even of car seats that can stand the heat, just throw out the ones that melt and replace them until they melt again.

These actions without change are just going to exacerbate the issue.
Unfortunately, UNEP does not address the unpleasant truth here either. The biggest destroyer of nature is intensive livestock farming, especially for meat production. Today, about 40% of the inhabitable land is used for feeding livestock. Removing subsidies in this area could very quickly bring back biodiversity, fight climate change and increase food security worldwide. Unfortunately, for many, eating meat has become like a fetish and such measures are politically almost impossible to implement.

Let's just get clear, I'm firmly against the cargo-cult version of scrum and sprints that looooots of companies and teams are applying.

To get back to your initial question about how you reconcile sprints, and more largely scrum, with the agile principles, it's actually pretty easy to do if you take a bare scrum and the principles themselves*

1. And 4. Customers are more satisfied and involved when you ask for guidance and feedback, i.e every two weeks when they look at what you did and tell you what is next

2. Welcome changing requirements - when you lock scope every two weeks, instead of at the beginning phase of a 6 month waterfall plan, this is checked.

3. 7. Continuous delivery - sprints are supposed to finish with a new version of the software that offers more features.

6. Face to face interaction through including business into demos and planning at leasing every two weeks.

And so on.

But.

The *moment* you depart from initial intent, it all goes through the window.

You commit to delivering a feature 6 months from now - you're done.

You stop delivering working software every two weeks, you're done.

Management starts interfering with roadmap, architecture, estimates and work method, you're done.

You insert pms and pos and layers and layers between the dev team and customers, you're done.

Etc. And of course scrum has been received by a layer of people who were used to working with a certain degree of control and certainty and tried to bring that back in scrum, which ended up making it worse than waterfall on all aspects (except maybe PR because no-one wants to sign up for waterfall).

Instead of taking a step back, thinking about what they need, and picking tools and practices that serve them, teams end up taking the thing as a whole, setup all the planning and grooming and demos and retros and blindly without a glance back, forgetting to apply any ci.

Can you reconcile agile and scrum? Yes. Should you "do scrum", fuck no.

> 80% of trips can be slow charged at home

So, there needs to be a power grid (electricity generation + distribution) to be able to slow charge at home for the masses and fast chargers ever 60km. That is quite a delta to what we have for our power grids today.

Those do exist and there's plenty of them: it's known as "co-charging". There's even one literally called ChargeBnB.
> EV charge stations have a slower throughput than petrol stations, and that means you require more stalls to cover the same number of cars.

The thing that they say about EVs is "imagine if your car started with a full tank of gas every morning. How often would you use a filling station then?"

You can't simply compare "time to fill at the filling station, times number of stalls, is this number the same or else it's an issue". That math doesn't work. As the majority of trips are short, and the majority of charging is at home overnight, and even when on the road there are other charging options (for e.g. I usually see cars charging near my local shops on one of these https://www.sourcelondon.net/home) then the numbers are not directly comparable.
Some of us had our server detect when the connection was dropped for any reason and would autoconnect back in.
I'd guess so too, bigger ticket though, could believe they'd profit more from a meal while EV charges vs average convenience sale while nipping in to pay for fuel (that's only if you don't pay at pump anyway), which I think is GP's point.

It is slightly annoying to click the link, get stuck behind the paywall, then have to return to HN, go into the comments thread, and find the archive.is if it exists, and then make it yourself if it doesn't. It'd be nice if the OP could submit a non-paywalled link alongside the original one. I assume HN feels like that would be crossing a legal or ethical line though.
In places like Wyoming and South Dakota, US gas stations come with slot machines inside. I wonder if having people stay around for a longer time, plus loosening regulations on gambling, means that this is the future way to incredible profits for gas stations.
What a lovely written article, and a nice throwback to that time of the "earlier" internet. I also enjoyed the photo of the author in the motel hunched over his laptop; certainly rings a few bells for myself (and perhaps others here as well).

I remember arguing with my family as I was trying to play Ultima Online on our 28.8k connection and someone wanted to use the phone. Salt in the wound was when the phone call wasn't urgent but rather just a normal chin-wag with a friend. Was always a thrill to discover if during that sliver of time after school and sports, and before homework and dinner, and nobody was using the phone (and I hadn't used up my current allotment of our shared home PC as well), I could log into UO Sonoma and play for a short but glorious time, and hopefully avoid getting grief-killed as well.

Really fun times and good memories.
'Plastic' is an ambiguous term for a consumer material, and needs to stop. It's synonymous with 'metal' or 'organic'. The article describes the food containers are polypropylene and polyethylene. Choose those words, not 'plastic'.
"Their previous blog post (linked in the first sentence) about why the switch from Go to Rust is insightful."

I was actually a bit astonished by it. The most trenchant concrete example they could give is... Go's standard library abstraction around file permissions is a bit inconvenient for their use case? This is easily fixed in Go in about a day without a complete rewrite; you just write some new stuff directly against the relevant syscall libraries and use build tags to control the different OS builds.

Just because an abstraction exists doesn't mean you have to use it! It is not a requirement of Go that you must use that particular abstraction, it's just something provided by the standard library. We once wrote a library for Perl using the openat and other *at functions because we needed the security guarantees, and it worked fine, despite the "standard library" not working that way.

My read is that they're basically doing this because they want to, not because Go forced them to. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that, if they want to pay the price for migration. (Were someone proposing it to me in real life I'd expect a better reason than "I don't like how it handles file permissions in the standard library", though.) However, as an external observer using it as a grounds to decide it's much weaker than may meet the eye; I wouldn't overprivilege it.

The real reason to prefer Rust here would be something on the lines of "We're doing so much crazy concurrent stuff that we need the guarantees that Rust provides via compiler but Go only provides via common practices." The latter can carry you a long ways but it does eventually give out and become insufficient for a codebase, and when that's the case Rust becomes one of the short list of options. "Go common practices" is actually pretty high up on the set of "ways to do reasonable concurrency", reaching above that requires a pretty significant shift to Erlang/Elixir, Haskell, or Rust, and given the goals of the project that would basically leave Rust as the only acceptable performance choice. It's possible that this would qualify for them, though I'm not sure... from what it sounds like they're doing, a task management system that ensures that only one worker is doing a given task and everyone else waits on the relevant output without redoing it would be the core of their architecture, and even if you use that thousands of times per execution that doesn't necessarily mean the code is complex internally.
> Where to draw the line?

That line is called the Third Party Doctrine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_doctrine

"The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant"

... but if you really want true privacy:

We ran into this, though we were using millisecond timestamps with the Number type.

Ended up working around it by adding numbers after the decimal point. DynamoDB apparently supports up to 38 digits of precision, and JavaScript (we're NodeJS based) by default encodes numbers to allow for up to 16 digits (combined, before and after the decimal point). A UNIX epoch millisecond timestamp is 13 digits, so we were able to use 3 just to add uniqueness without having to update anything else in our codebase.

We certainly now plan to essentially always use string-based (and generically named) partition and sort keys, which would allow us to more easily do what you're describing.
I wonder how our ancestors used a material not even developed yet without getting to to melt on an open fire.

The HRT patch set for Linux (which is eight years old) claims that Linux had a 10μs clock resolution before the patch, and conversations on SO suggest the resolution is now 1ns, so I believe this information is dated, or at least OS dependent.

It's more comparable to illustration or photography, or even to a written body of html or js, than it is to the programming language. It's the output of an applied specialist technician for a specific purpose.

So similar to those other things you can find a free or cheap generic off-the-shelf one that suits your use, open source fonts exist. Or you can pay for a specific one that suits it better.

Font design is a domain several times older than the oldest reasonable precursor to computers. It's imo shitty to stomp in and demand it conform to our idea of how licensing should work.

I'm curious about the cost structure of a gas station relative to a charging station. I would imagine that like an unattended charging port, connected to the grid and monitored remotely, would be very different to run and fund compared to the usual attended gas station where fuel is trucked in. If the costs can be brought significantly down, but the annual consumer outlay can be kept the same, then it could be way more profitable. I have no idea how feasible that latter one is though, people with EVs- are you saving money on fuel?
Looking at the number of h2 cars on the road, I'd say it's a complete waste...
It seems funny to me that legislators all over the world think that they can change the physical world with a written law.

While I like the idea of a convenient fast charging network for EVs, there are all these details like funding, electric infrastructure, availability of raw materials, availability of labor, and the ongoing cost of maintenance.

Here in the US charging stations are broken all the time. Even Tesla supercharging stations often have several stalls down.

I would bet huge sums of money that there is no possible way Europe has this in place on schedule.

Checks are easy to use: just write a name and an amount on a piece of paper.

They’re secure: they can only be cashed by the person they’re made out to (unlike cash).

They have theoretically infinite throughput: you can write any amount on a single check.

They have extremely high latency, which is why digital payments are being preferred in many situations. But the remaining situations where checks are used high latency is acceptable or even desirable.
