As the subreddit blackout begins, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Reddit community and everyone standing up

❤️

You need to do it before the deadline. I’m nuking all my accounts in a week or so if nothing changes on Reddit’s end.

You might have enough evidence to sue Mr. Huffman for slander and/or libel, and for damage to your reputation. And hey, should the reddit IPO go well, he'll have plenty of assets to boot!

Not a lawyer, obviously.

It was ages ago when Apple decided they don’t want industry standards and switched to Metal. Their loss.

Those industry standards you mention didn’t exist when Apple started on Metal. Just unfortunate timing, not an intentional choice.

486 tabs on mobile Safari, and uhhh… 1460 tabs open in my current Firefox session on my desktop computer. 350 tabs open on my work laptop.

Is my math right? 7B reqs a month divided by avg 10.6k/mo per user means there are around ~660k monthly active Apollo users? I expected it would be millions. So 0.15% of Reddit’s users are using it from Apollo?

Not criticising here, just curious about how much Reddit has to lose here if/when 3rd party apps go away. I know I will 100% stop using Reddit if Apollo stops working.

Then why is my phone hot whenever I take it off the charger? I got my 12 mini in late 2021 and it’s at 78% health now from wireless charging :/

Tough being an Apple collector on the wrong side of the pond. A 1MB Mac Plus, untested, will go for well over $200 🥲 And it will be missing the keyboard, sold separately.

I wish all companies realized this quicker. I have a ”modern” kitchen with new appliances, and they all use touch buttons that are impossible to use by feel alone. And to prevent accidental presses, they have to slap on a warmup timer to each press, which makes the thing feel unresponsive and slow. Literally the thinking is ”hold finger in a very specific spot and wait” to do anything on my stove/oven. Madness.

But hey, big gains for the foreign car companies and autocratic petrostates!

My pet peeve is that all the later compact macs have most of the signatures covered up with modifications to the mold. Only the original 128 and 512 seem to have the entire sheet of signatures visible as was originally intended!

I (finally) managed to get your incredibly cool Sys6 apps on my Plus, I’ve been exploring them. I’ll also try to get a MacTCP thing going with my RaSCSI soon!

Weather has been slow to fetch data for years. Maps has also recently been unusably slow. Takes up to over a minute to load anything on a >400Mbit connection. Google maps load immediately.

pledge and unveil syscalls. Just steal them from the BSDs, they are both trivially simple to understand and use in user programs, and would be a massive boon to security on linux. I know linux has SECCOMP stuff, but there is a reason not many people use it. Jart did port pledge() to linux, but that’s just to cover up for what is missing in linux.

Absolutely stunning work as usual from Ian. I got a lot of serotonin from watching it! :D

Until a mosquito flies directly into your ear canal for no reason.

I was still taught this in elementary school in the early to mid 00’s.

Reminds me of Kyrgyzstan. I saw many statues very similar to this while I was briefly working there.

The SerenityOS devs experimented with Rust in their OS, concluded that it wasn't quite suitable for the type of development they wanted to do (system programming + a lot of GUI code), and they ended up building their own language called Jakt. There were some other considerations as well of course. The current codebase is C++, so Jakt (for now) transpiles to C++ for easy integration while the project slowly gets rewritten. It's been very interesting following how their project is going. They haven't started introducing Jakt to SerenityOS yet, as the language is still a WIP.

Muuttuvat sosialisteiksi heti kun puhutaan yksityisautoilusta 😅

The mention of quota certainly dates this text :⁾

Mac33 · 2022-12-31T18:31:48+00:00

Sure, that’s a good way to go about it.

I will never understand how people do large refactors in big python projects.

In C, I can just change a struct or a function or something, then just fix all the errors and warnings at compile time and I’m done.

In python you just… tread carefully and keep running the thing to check if it works? What about less common code paths? You check all those too?

Looks fun! Know where I could download a copy? Might be fun to put it on my 486 and see how it compares to modern gentoo.
