As others have said: block cloning (the underlying technology that enables copy-on-write) allows you to 'copy' a file without reading all of the data and re-writing it. For example, if you have a 1 GB file and you want to make a c

I tried bird.makeup; for @google it succeeded, but for my own account it gave me a 500 error and suggested I enable development mode in order to get a more detailed explanation (i.e. the stock HTTP 500 response from the application stack).

I'm not sure about that. On the one hand, they might mistakenly think that this will drive engagement by encouraging people to sign up for accounts. On the other, a lot of their traffic comes from Google searches by people who are look

Note that the Relay dev says that there's no way for him to offer a free version of Relay and make it financially viable. That means that user acquisition is going to tank, hard , because no one is going to be able to try the app befo

It doesn't affect them directly , but the moderation tools a lot of subreddits need are built into third-party apps because Reddit refuses to build mod tools itself, and when those stop working then the job of moderating large and act

I haven't dug into it too much, and the UI seems a bit cluttered and confusing (e.g. when I click into a community I get a huge amount of random information instead of just some posts), but in terms of structure this is the closest I&#

I've noticed that the "anti-SJW" types are inherently opposed to anything that inconveniences them even slightly, no matter how beneficial it is to anyone else (including themselves). If the entire world isn't focused en

Yes, I definitely want my small GUI app to distribute a gigantic runtime and consume gigs of memory.

Working from home with my desk in my bedroom, I grew to hate the always-on, bright blue LED on my USB-C laptop dock. I get it, you're plugged in, go away and take your light pollution with you.

I've said it before, but why do social media sites try to monetize through methods which provide no tangible benefits? A blue checkmark, some shitty NFT avatars, being able to badge someone's comment or post - I don't care ab

The assertion that "subreddits are communities" evolved from the whole Trump debacle is inaccurate and makes no sense. A lot of the subreddits that I've been in for a while have always been their own communities with their ow

Sure, but hashtags aren't communities. If I'm talking about a base-building game that's on Humble Bundle, should I discuss it in #BaseBuildingGames, #Gaming, #PCGaming, #HumbleBundle? Where are people going to see and contrib

I think most 'Reddit alternative' options that people are trying to show off are missing what made Reddit great. I've always described Reddit to new users as 'a community of communities', because that's what

I like the concept, though I agree with a lot of the comments about people content farming and reposting comments for upvotes and I think that would kill the site (since Reddit already has enough of a problem with this and that's just

37signals is profitable, though. It's easy to say "I'm happy just being a small company making a good product" if you're making enough to keep the lights on, but if you don't know how to monetize your audience

Maybe they should buy Apollo for $10m, at least it would be a revenue stream based on tangible user benefits rather than whatever cosmetic meme bullshit they think of next.

Maybe keep the app around if you have a subscription; Selig is going to do refunds for Apollo subscriptions, and you will probably need to have the app installed to decline the refund (if you want to continue to support him rather than get

This is the issue that it feels like Reddit doesn't get. Maybe those people are 0.0001% of the user base, but if they leave then everything they were managing goes straight to hell, subreddits become choked with off-topic posts, spam,

In my experience it's all OnlyFans porn spam, which I doubt are bots created by Reddit.
