While logged in on Reddit, go to this page: https://old.reddit.com/subreddits, then copy the url from the "multireddit of your subscriptions" link in the sidebar to the right, replace the "old.reddit.com" in it with "teddit.net", and bookmark that.

Thank you, that worked. Plus on that multi-teddit page is a convenient table of each sub sorted by name, so one can open it e.g. in a tab.

You can just send me an email to the address in the announcement blog post, and I can give you an invite: https://blog.tildes.net/announcing-tildes (that offer's open to anyone, but please read through the post so you know about the site's goals/principles/etc.)

It's not intended to be difficult to get an invite, I mostly just don't want to constantly deal with large influxes of users because of drama on other sites, persistent trolls, and things like that.

It doesn't show by default to logged-out users, but we've got a devoted group set up for Advent of Code that's reasonably active so far, if anyone's participating in that and would like to join us: https://tildes.net/~comp.advent_of_code

I would highly suggest anyone interested in joining the community. We are always interested in having more varied voices and engagement on the platform.

We're small, but that's a good thing.

I originally used something else, but enough people complained about it being weird that I made the default a boring white/grey one. There are 10 other color schemes you can choose from in the dropdown in the footer though.

I recommend Atom One Dark. It's provides nice contrast without being hard on the eyes.

Congratulations! I've been using Intercooler for a while now and haven't tried htmx yet, but am looking forward to switching over. I really appreciate that you're continuing to work on tools that make this approach to webdev easier.

I know the post says not to do it, but I'm planning to convert an existing project from Intercooler. Anything specific that I should watch out for while doing it, or recommendations for new capabilities that I could take advantage of as part of the switch?

Shouldn't be too hard unless:

- you got deep into the custom headers

- you used ic-action heavily

- you used the path-dependency mechanism heavily

On a sibling comment I mentioned some new features in htmx:

- no jQuery dependency

- trigger filters: https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-trigger/

- HTML validation integration: https://htmx.org/docs/#validation

- Out of band swaps: https://htmx.org/docs/#oob_swaps

- htmx has a more advanced swapping mechanism (swap and settle, not documented well yet) that makes it easier to use CSS transitions

Happy to help out with the transition if you jump on the discord:

If anyone wants to read an interesting technical article about Roblox, this "Eight Years at Roblox" one from August was excellent: https://zeux.io/2020/08/02/eight-years-at-roblox/

Huh. A throwaway account here on HN said that he was working at Microsoft 8 days ago, and I assumed they were wrong and thinking of Dropbox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24983394

Sorry, throwaway account! Apparently I was the one who was wrong!

No movie has ever had a budget anywhere near $1.75 billion. This is more like... making the 5 most expensive movies of all time, in a row, and flopping all of them.

That's a completely different level of failure.

But nobody would pay for it if there was zero or not enough to convert trial users content, so they needed lots of it to engage and keep users.

They absolutely did not need to speed a billion upfront on an unproven format. Nobody had tried this format before, so they could not have been confident that there was a market. They could have instead, for example, commissioned a few of their more promising shows and offered them for free to gauge interest in the format.

No he doesn't. He worked at Dropbox starting in 2013, but retired last year.

Yes he does, as a Distinguished Engineer.

One of the bots in /r/SubredditSimulator was the "top today" bot, which would just take the top 500 posts from /r/all in the last 24 hours, pick one of the links at random, and repost it with a gibberish title made from a markov chain of those 500 posts' titles. With such a small set of input, the titles almost never made any sense at all.

I had to shut that bot down, because eventually just reposting a random popular meme/image from the last 24 hours with a nonsensical title started becoming far too successful and it ended up getting 2,648,254 post karma, while often getting its own posts near the top of /r/all: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditSimMeta/comments/c5besk/th...

What do you assume the source and cause of the upvotes were? Browsing /r/all it is easy to attribute the post and comments as pre-programmed.

Faulty algorithms? algorithms working as intended? vote purchase? intentional spam?

Do you scrape, log, and track, and compare user comments, and profiles on reddit or any other site? What data do you collect?

I don't understand what you're asking.

They appear to be asking "exactly why do you think your bot got so many upvotes (i.e. which tactics or techniques caused it to get so many upvotes)?"

I haven't looked into htmx much yet, but am using its predecessor intercooler-js, and this is my code for handling server responses and displaying an error message when it's needed: https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/-/blob/master/tildes/static...

I wouldn't consider it particularly elegant, but it's straightforward and has worked well. It uses the "complete.ic" event to trigger whenever an intercooler request finishes, and then uses the response status/code/text to display an appropriate message.
