What kills me about old vs new reddit is feature parity is just not there. There's also a huge lack of tooling for reddit modding, but what really kills me is how long new reddit has been in development for and still no feature parity.

Instead of making old reddit an archive on github, they should have made new reddits front-end open. I'm sure it would be miles ahead if the users were allowed to contribute like they once did with old reddit.

I wonder how much money was spent to build new reddit. Feels like a dumpster fire.

> That's a pretty big stretch to call it a monopoly

The word "monopoly" needs to be banned from these types of discussions because it always derails the conversation into pointless semantic bickering. There is no definition of that word that will make everyone happy. Even if Apple had 99.999% marketshare, as long as there's some hacker selling DIY linux phones under a bridge somehwere, someone's going to say Apple CAN'T be a monopoly because they have a competitor.

There are many reasons why antitrust laws exist, and these lawsuits tend to be really complex. There's not a simple `if(company.is_monopoly()) sue(company);` program that the FTC and DOJ use to decide when to sue.
The FTC is perhaps a biased source, but they say [1]:

> Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power. Courts look at the firm's market share, but typically do not find monopoly power if the firm (or a group of firms acting in concert) has less than 50 percent of the sales of a particular product or service within a certain geographic area. Some courts have required much higher percentages. In addition, that leading position must be sustainable over time: if competitive forces or the entry of new firms could discipline the conduct of the leading firm, courts are unlikely to find that the firm has lasting market power.

The US doesn't have antitrust authority for the world, only for the US. iPhone has had 60% market share (or similar) for a long time now, so it's fair to consider that Apple has significant and durable market power in mobile phones.

Is it a complete monopoly? No, but it doesn't need to be.

From a very brief skim of the claims, the clearest one that stands out to me is the one about smartwatches. If Apple does provide better integrations to Apple Watches than 3rd party watches, that's pretty clearly 'tying' which is prohibited when using a market dominant product to create market dominance in a new market (smartwatches). OTOH, it wouldn't have been a big deal if the Microsoft Band had better integrations than other watches on Windows Phone, because tying is allowed without market dominance.

Google was already found by a jury to have a monopoly on Android app distribution. And if Google has one, Apple's monopoly on iOS app distribution is clearly stronger and more harmful in the US given their larger market share and complete prohibition of alternatives.

- you get outbreaks of measles

What is a base of this hypothesis?

- why anyone would prefer to let their childs body be ravaged by all kinds of exotic viruses rather than protect them with the generally gentle and safe vaccines.

If there is no reasonable possibility to get in touch with that virus, why should you "put" it in body of your health child by medical intervention that is based on irrelevant fear? But it's choice that every parent can freely make.

Should we all be vaccinated against for example malaria?

I don't consider myself an Apple fan, but Apple users definitely buy into the idea that "it just works" compared to Android or Windows, which the highly integrated software is a key component of.
To anyone.

Take C++ vs. Rust, for instance. If I look at this from a business perspective:

- Rust compiler can likely help confirm reference correctness, so this is a plus.
- Rust language exchanges the cognitive load of memory allocation for tracking reference ownership, so this is a neutral. (In C++ anything that has access to the pointer can technically "own" it so there is no need to track function call traces for ownership, but lifetimes do need to be analyzed against the semantics of the program. Potato, po-tah-to.)
- The pool of Rust developers available to work on a project is much smaller.

If I'm writing software where memory safety is of high importance and I can afford to take the risk with a smaller developer pool, Rust makes sense. If I'm writing a game? It's going to make far more business sense to hire a bunch of C++ developers that can work with Unreal or C# developers to work with Unity or Python developers to work with Godot or whatever.

And for real mission-critical software memory allocation isn't used so in those cases Rust has zero advantages. (Real mission-critical software lays out a static memory map up front to avoid exactly the problems Rust is trying to avoid but to also ensure real-time & predictable response times.)

So we're left with niche software like OpenSSL or similar that can benefit from Rust. But it's more likely that we want a language that supports proofs of correctness (think Coq or seL4) in those cases and Rust can't even support that.

So why choose Rust at all?

Lots of people in the west (or specifically the US) have been deeply indoctrinated by Evangelical and leftist ideology, the former of which frames everything Israel does within a narrative of Good versus Evil, and the latter of which very often equates criticism of Israel with antisemitism - and not entirely without merit, because unfortunately a lot of it is.

I think it's difficult for a lot of Westerners to be comfortable with the premise that Israel can be simply another terrible government doing terrible things, that one can criticize Israel without being a nazi or Holocaust denier, and one can object to both Hamas as a government and October 7 while also objecting to the scale and scope of Israel's response.
This is correct for one side of Apple's market but not the other. You're right that Apple doesn't have monopoly power on the consumer side because there are alternatives and if you cared a whole heck of a lot you could create your own. It's capital intensive sure but being expensive to enter a market and having a moat doesn't mean you have a monopoly. If all your friends hung out on Discord then you're gonna have to use Discord to talk to them, if all your friends play a Windows exclusive game then you're gonna need a PC to play with them, the green bubble thing is nonsense.

But Apple does wield real monopoly power on the other side of their market which is app developers. I don't think large developers have any real choice but to bite the bullet and take whatever terms Apple offers and be on iOS because that's where your users are. Developers aren't choosing Apple as the better product in the way consumers are.

Ask HN: Reference applications to idiomatically learn languages/frameworks?
I'm interested in seeing any languages, frameworks, and domains. Ideally these would be production applications and not tutorial apps. Here are some examples to get you thinking:

- A rails/spring/phoenix web application to learn how to structure code, handle authentication, front-end code, and common dependencies used

- A GIS application that uses an open source mapping library such as Leaflet, MapLibre, or OpenLayers and how that interacts with a frontend framework or state management library

- A Rust CLI application that demonstrates reading in parameters, error handling, and text processing
There are examples of this, yes [0]. The phrase "run . . . on Tesla" might have different meanings. OpenPilot is not installed directly on the Tesla hardware (as far as I'm aware). OpenPilot runs on separate hardware that communicates over the car's network, typically CAN bus [1]. An analogy might be attaching USB devices to a laptop, which has its own video, sound, keyboard, and pointer; but for which a user might desire some other feedback and control method.

I assert it is trivial to not buy Apple products, easy to make alternatives to Apple products and easy to buy feature equivalent devices to Apple products.

In lieu of this what is the problem? If the government has a problem why not say any code should be able to be run on any device?

Honestly I’m curious - what’s the problem? There are android phones that are superior to iPhones and let you run anything you want. Why don’t people buy those?

The government seems to want to make it illegal to have a tight experience, but why? There are open alternatives. It’s like complaining that Teslas don’t support CarPlay. Valid, but does it require legislation? Buy another car.

FWIW I would love if the government made it so all devices should have an option to run any of your arbitrary code.

> I would like to see some hard number from people that claim Reddit was hurt from the "API Fiasco".

Probably pretty hard to get. Some of the content I found that went away, was quality content. There are still users posting/discussing stuff in the niches I'm interested in, but all the high-quality discussions have gone missing, and the one's who used to engage in it no longer seem to be using reddit at all.

But there is no objective way to measure "high quality content vs low quality", so it'll be short of impossible to get any objective measures of this, it's just my anecdotal experience with a subset of subreddits.
I stopped using it when I noticed it had those strange banners about language in every single subreddit. It was weird to go talk about a programming question and see that.

ChatGPT gives me most what I got on Reddit without the weirdos and constant speech policing. Which is to say, half baked information and random wastes of time digging into some historical or scientific thing.

Reddit 10 years ago was fun and weird, Reddit now is a safe space meant for a wide audience and so it’s lost most the edge and fun to me. Or maybe I got old.
> How about asking the workers in other countries who benefitted from this transaction if they were happy with the arrangement?

I'm sure they were happy with the arrangement, they benefitted from it in the short-term. You should speak with Foxconn workers today, though. The story is more nuanced.

> Do only Americans matter?

This is a weird claim to bestow on my original post.

Labor conditions matter. The balance of power of power and profits between labor and capital matters.

I promise you, semiconductors did not move production to ${foreign_country} out of the goodness of their hearts, to better the living conditions of ${foreign_country}'s impoverished underclasses.

They did it because the balance of power (and profits) had shifted towards labor in this country in the 40s, 50s and 60s, and the population of ${foreign_country} was cheaper to exploit.

It's also worth pointing out (again) that a disproportionate of people in manufacturing in California semiconductor industry were 0th or 1st generation immigrants (from the Philippines, Mexico, China and so on) or internal refugees from the Jim Crow South who migrated to California for military work during WW II. These were people who were literally at most 1 generation removed from subsistence farming.

> Maybe you think foreigners are fit only to till dirt fields as subsistence farmers?

Again, a weird claim to stick me with.

Humans working in manufacturing should be free to negotiate living wages, safe and healthy working conditions, reasonable time off and retirement policies, illness/disability insurance, and so on.

The reason U.S. companies prefer "foreigners" (domestically and abroad) is not because foreigners don't deserve these things as much as any other person, it's because they know they can get away with exploiting them for a few decades before they develop class consciousness.

In the last few years, workers in China have been striking to demand what workers in California fought hard for 70-80 years ago.

Entirely coincidentally, Foxconn began "diversifying" its manufacturing capacity into India and other countries. Do you think it's because they want to help uplift people from subsistence farming? :)
Open source extremely performant rv64 cores?
I think there's a large contingent of people who want more access and choice with apps and services on their iOS devices.

And frankly, that's what Android is for. Just go get a Samsung Galaxy.

EDIT:
You can downvote it all you want, but part of the appeal of iOS devices is that you have your workable service for the device and there's no real thought to be put into choosing that service. Not everyone wants different app stores, and on the software side of things, it adds a very thick layer of complexity and headaches, especially if you're helping, I don't know, your 64-year-old mother with her iPhone.

> Quite similar experience, the communities for hobbies I used to check out almost daily are quite dead

I've noticed some of the same for some communities, but where have they gone? Some claim to be migrating to Discord, which in my mind is even worse than Reddit, and to me is a high-stress environment (I simply cannot stand online chat, I've no patience for it, and if you're not constantly online you miss stuff).

There are hobby groups in Facebook, which is also disappointing since Facebook groups have terrible UX.
The only thing I prefer the mac M3 PRO (work), hardware wise, to my MSI w/4060 and 64GB ram, is the battery life. Everything runs slower on my mac. There are some niceties (the color filter for my color-blindness, for example, and the keychain), but not a fan of

* lack of usb ports necessitating dongles
* lack of hdmi/dvi outs
* No camera lens cover
* Uncomfortable chiclet keyboard
* oversized touchpad
* overheating
* lack of power cores leads to slower parallel compilations

I do appreciate the ease of use of (especially) the network utilities of mac, but it's definitely not my preferred machine.

Exactly. From my point of view, nobody needs to be a lawyer to see that this can't stand as it is. There are two major operating systems for each form factor. In the last ten years, no other vendor has been able to successfully place a new OS on the market. If there wasn't a monopoly (or duopoly or oligarchy or whatever you wanna call it), then this would have happened. And this appears mainly to be due to network effects and the high complexity of the underlying systems.

If you’re struggling to stay fed, try these tips:

* Don’t eat right away when the game says you’re hungry. Wait until you’re starving and below 50% health. This makes each food ration last way longer!

* Don’t eat pasties or meat. When you find an alchemy pot, use the recipe that combines one food ration, one piece of meat, and one pasty to make a meat pie. The meat pie is way more nourishing and gives you a “well fed” health regeneration buff.

* Try to be efficient with your movement and exploration. If you’re not careful you can end up wasting a huge amount of time wandering around not accomplishing anything. This also leads to more monsters being generated which means you take more damage, taxing your resources.

* Along those same lines: always try to fight dirty. If you see an enemy coming towards you try to hit them a bit at range (throw stuff or zap wands) then retreat behind a closed door or around some tall grass. When the enemy comes through the door or around/through the grass, hit them with an attack. You should see a yellow ! mark on the enemy indicating a surprise attack. Now retreat behind another obstacle and repeat. As long as you keep breaking line-of-sight and then hitting the enemy immediately when they reestablish line-of-sight (this also works with ranged attacks) you’ll get guaranteed surprise hits. This lets you defeat enemies more quickly without taking as much damage standing there missing all the time.

* Don’t overdo it though. After you’ve gained some levels and find you easily outclass an enemy then kill them quickly. Leading enemies all over the place takes more time (costing food) and can end up getting you surrounded, causing even more damage!

* Throw stuff down pits instead of carrying it around. This applies mostly to weapons, armour, and scrolls (before you get the scroll holder). Anything you throw down a pit will show up on the next level. This is a great way to avoid running back and forth swapping items when you’re low on inventory space and you want to sell things or do alchemy. Don’t throw potions though, they break (but do throw them at enemies or obstacles when the situation calls for it!)
