someone had to pay the cost. Apollo (as iOS app) and other 3rd party apps should be able to charge its users rather than ranting over news and shutting down.


Considering Facebook pays about $500m a year for content moderation, it’s probably not in Reddit’s best interests to alienate its free modbase


Eh, I hate the model of giving free access to grow your userbase (which has contributed back to the platform through content), then leverage that later for profit. Either provide access for free, recognizing that in doing so you gain externalities through the added user engagement, user data to mine etc, or just don't do it. The only caveat would be the problem of LLMs etc mining all of reddit for free via API.


Fantasy story about knights and magic with backgroun on Medieval Europe.


because sometimes, other folks on your dev team put it back to Gemfile after you've removed the gem for good...



false. i used windows and migrate to linux (starting with ubuntu) 10 years ago. i know how it feels to help a co-worker setting up a ruby on rails project on windows. we spent it full day.

on linux, we spent no more than one hour.

those editors you mentioned are also available on linux nowadays.

if someone needs to test something on windows, there's "windows on aws" (i used it once)


very true. i saw this as well when i was still working in the office ten years ago. in Linux, what you can do is mostly coding and browsing.


> We had to abandon Docker because we had folks with macOS on the team. But, other tasks (email, conference calling, scanning, word, upgrading without breakage) came with more friction, and those tend to fill up ever larger shares of my day.

this is hard. what if you're on project with

- backend (docker) - needs linux based machine - client app (iOS) - needs xcode on macOS

both are in one repository.


this is very true. not to mention it's very slow on its networking... i've given up docker on macOS long ago. If I was to use docker, I'll switch to my debian laptop. way much much faster.


Happy to give up Docker, but still using MacOS as a daily driver?


Easy.

Just do whatever you're doing in docker natively in macos. Python, Nodejs, Ruby, Rust, Postgres, etc can all run as native macos processes.

The big advantage (aside from performance) is that you gain access to all the OS-native debugging capacities. You can just look at files, open multiple terminal sessions in the same folder, use Profiler, click the debug button without special configuration in your IDE, and so on. All without needing to think about VM images, docker containers, networking and all that rubbish.

The downside is you need to set up a second build environment (which might not match your deployment environment). Unless you're doing something truly special, setting up a macos-native build environment is usually pretty easy. Its normally just a few "brew install" / "npm" / "gem install" / "cargo build" etc commands away from working.


So because the macOS stack is janky, a solution is to ditch the standardization layer and run things directly in the janky stack?

That seems like a road to bringing in an entire new set of environment-specific bugs and hacks.


yes. it's not that i like macOS, but I need its xcode.


I do. Mostly I just use my phone for browsing. So, I want my phone to only have firefox browser wit uBo installed. No need for other apps (messages, phone, contact, any 3rd party app)
