I agree it's very likely that the total number of people using Reddit might not decrease, it might even increase. But I'm willing to bet the quality of discussion and content will go down. Have you looked at YouTube comments? Mill

A/B testing, I have different behaviour between my work Google account and personal account. Hadn't really noticed until this thread though.

It's not Valves style to do that. They normally do "one thing" that pushes the envelope forward and then wait for the 3rd parties to take over. The steam box (or whatever their prebuilt pcs were called) made proton, so now Li

Yeah, I was thinking about the HTTP level. At the database level you can do recursive queries like you say. But on the client, with the current API, you're stuck fetching each level of comments sequentially. If you have 100-200ms per r

I wanted to make sure I understood the design decisions. I actually have no idea what the right choice is. I only know how I use these types of sites and I usually go depth first. So I'd start with one thread, read it until I get bored

Yeah, I'm with you, still love old Reddit and think it's peak design. I can never tell if I'm out of touch or if kids these days are wrong.

Yeah I did look at the docs, hence my question. If you have a deeply nested comment tree, wouldn't you have to load each level sequentially? So let's say you have A (root) -> B -> C -> D Wouldn't you make one reques

Looks pretty good and a non-profit seems perfect for something like this. I do have to say, I really dislike the card design that seems pretty much ubiquitous at this point. By introducing a border, you need to add a bunch of padding and th

I was chatting about this with some friends. If we had a million or so spare, just fork Reddit. Grab the latest open source version of Reddit, pay the pushshift guys for the most up-to-date dump they have and get it in. Make a system for cl

Yes and no. They can force the the subs to go public again, but then the mods might quit. Losing a lot of mods is a bigger deal than losing the same number of users. Trying to find a bunch of new mods will probably be an issue. Right now th

It's the other way around in my opinion. If you learn something like vim/i3/cli tools it's relevant for future projects. If you invest time learning IntelliJ, they'll release an update and move everything around. No

You should try to read things more charitably/interpret them in good faith. I'm assuming they are referring to content that claims to be about "men's rights" but is actually redpill-ish and just plain women bashing.

That's a pretty niche case, you can force it by either allocating a pseudo tty or using LD_PRELOAD with an isatty() shim that returns true. I only ever had to do it once (using LD_PRELOAD) because there was an insane vendor binary blob
