crius , to nostupidquestions in What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?

Short answer is “no”.

Long answer require some technical knowledge that you clearly don’t possess and would just give you an headache.

To put it simply, if your app get successful and lots of users adopt it, you are bound to exceed those arbitrary limits.

Thing is, offering free api is not sustainable but you could offer some half way option, like including some ads in the apis responses as well and have the devs agree in showing those ads (I’m talking banners and the like) so that you can assure your ads clients that they are going to be shown anyway even by third party apps.

If course you can then go nuts on the penalties for infringing that agreement.

What is Reddit doing is basically saying, you can use our APIs if you are doing a school project.

a_new_sad_me , to nostupidquestions in What's stopping people from making reddit apps that stay within the free API limits?

Without looking into any information, I can guess that it is associated with API key which are registered to a specific email. Sure, you can open more email accounts and more APIs but this is becoming a hustle.

What they could do, is release their code, and for user to register their own API and compile the app on their own. But this solution would answer only tech savi people.

The developer of Infinity for Reddit (Android app) said they were going to do just that.

a_new_sad_me ,

Ha! Cool for them!

I guess, though, that the guys who have the skills to enjoy this are the first to switch out of reddit to begin with.

I just did this from a guide on their reddit, it was super easy…hopefully it sticks!

Couldn’t they just have the app ask for the user’s API key? I use a weather app that does that with OpenWeatherMap.

a_new_sad_me ,

They could, use, but this requires extra work from the user, who might just say “nah… I’ll just use the official app instead”

DreamySweet ,
@DreamySweet@exploding-heads.com avatar

I think the people that would seek out a third party app are mostly the kind of people that would do the extra work of copying and pasting an API key. It will definitely be a smaller userbase than before though.

sik0fewl , to youshouldknow in YSK Defibrillators doesn't restart a stopped heart

I've heard this before and looked it up, but I found this article from the NIH that contradicts what you're saying.

Defibrillators are devices that send an electric pulse or shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, an uneven heartbeat that is too slow or too fast. If the heart suddenly stops, defibrillators can also help it beat again.

techno156 ,

There are certain devices that do do that, but it's not a defibrillator. A defibrillator will stop/prevent an arrhythmia by stopping the heart, and letting it restart on its own (hoping that it goes to a normal rhythm), and delivering further shocks if it gets back into one.

The device you're looking for to help a heart beat again would be a pacer, or a pacemaker, which will shock the heart to force it to pump, and restore rhythm that way. They're commonly used for conditions like heart failure, if the heartbeat generation systems/internal pacemaker can't generate a heartbeat quickly enough to sustain life.

I wouldn’t call it a “fiasco”, but they’re disabling port-forwarding for everyone on July 1st. They say it’s because people are hosting “unfavorable” content and it’s getting their IPs banned. Their article

It's like we're redoing the basics of reddit. :)

We do not use 10 percent of our brains.

Scribbd , to selfhosted in Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating

I work somewhere that doesn’t have licensing with Docker Inc. And I work on a Mac. With Docker desktop out of the picture, I got some experience with the alternatives. I know this post is about the native implementation and not the VM one, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents:

Alternatives run by me: Podman, Rancher Desktop, Finch

Results:

  • Podman uses a lot more energy on idle than Finch and Rancher. On AVG 4 more Wats on an M1. (Normal idle is about 5W, so 9 almost doubles it cutting greatly in my battery life)
  • Podman and Finch are not compatible with some tools that expect a full docker sock. In my case the AWS CDK and SAM CLI have issues. (Which is fun as Finch is also made by AWS)
  • Finch does not offer a sock at all
  • Finch requires you to recreate the full VM when updated.
  • If you really want to have a drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop, use Rancher Desktop. Rancher lacks in UI and the extension feature. But I never had issues with the sock, as I can run it with containerd.
  • Finch has no UI
  • Podman’s VM has clock drift if you put your machine in sleep. Only solution I found is to reboot the podman VM.
  • Podman allows you to log in the VM with a command. I haven’t found a way on the others.

The clock drift issue has been resolved recently: github.com/containers/podman/issues/11541

Scribbd ,

That is awesome. I prefer podman, despite what my list might suggest.

BradleyUffner , to youshouldknow in YSK: Installing a bidet attachment to your toilet is super easy and probably cleaner than using toilet paper.

You should also know that if you do this, when you go on vacation you are going to have one seriously sore butthole until you get home again.

I mean at least in Europe when you use a bidet you use soap and then still dry a few times with tp. These contraptions are good to soften the ass crud but you’ll still need to wipe it off with tp.

I keep wondering why we have regulations like this, but having headlights come on when the wipers are turned on is still not required.

i recently heard a story about parents that ran over their kid. they did a bunch of petitions to mandate backup cameras. i couldnt quickly find anything to back this up though

One thing to add, that haven’t been thought to me in the CPR course.

It’s fucking exhausting and you will get tired very soon. The training dummy doesn’t require nowhere near as much force as a real person. To give you an example, it’s quite common to crack or break a rib of the CPR recipient even if CPR is done right. That’s how much force you have to use. Without the required force, your pushes won’t reach the heart.

Make sure there is someone else who knows how to do CPR or at least is looking how you’re doing it and can repeat that or follow your commands once you switch.

I’ve only had to give someone CPR once and I haven’t been as tired in my whole life. No way the “I’ve been giving him CPR for 30 minutes…” You see on a TV screen is real. I felt like I’ll need CPR myself after 3 minutes.

SweetSitty , to youshouldknow in YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

You should also know that technically only the piece marked as genuine leather needs to actually be genuine leather. If you buy something made with multiple pieces, the rest could be made from any material so long as that one piece is genuine.

RedClouds ,

“Made with natural and artificial flavors”… So just… made with artificial flavors then…

CountZero ,

You know what’s cool about “natural flavors”? They just have to be found in nature to call them that. They can be synthesized in a lab and still be a “natural flavor.”

P.S. don’t fall for the naturalistic fallacy. This comment is about tricky vocabulary used by the food industry. Whether or not a chemical is found in nature has nothing to do with whether it is good or bad for you. Arsenic is natural.

ShadyGrove ,

Yup! “All Natural” is just a marketing term, there’s no regulations behind it. USDA Organic is a real thing though, farms need to be organic for 7 years to be labeled that, if I recall correctly at least

Wear, not so much. Mostly to sit on!

zephyr , to youshouldknow in YSK - X percent of Y is equal to Y percent of X. So, if you want to find out what 7% of 50 is, you could instead find out what 50% of 7 is, which is 3.5. This means that 7% of 50 is also equal to 3.5.

Percentage is just a fancy form of decimal point. I just multiply them together then move decimal digit to the left twice.

damn all these good tips for doing quick percentage math @.@

stallmer ,

This is true for quite a few other things as well. For instance, “hertz” really just means “per second”. However, it’s easier to write/type “Hz” instead of “s^-1”.

Behind the Bastards, a deep dive into the various shit people of history. Episode one is Saddam Hussein: Erotic Novelist.

There’s nearly 700 episodes, and I’ve yet to run tio a dud. Loads of great guests. My only gripe is that it’s a touch Amerocentric, but other than that I’d recommend it to basically anyone. Not kid friendly, in case that wasn’t obvious.

I think it’s only fair to add that this podcast has a very left leaning bias. I’m not saying that that is bad, just being objective.
