I am not a fan of React, so in my opinion, yes. The substantial difference here is this isn’t native, its just a webapp that looks and feels just like a native application. The nice thing here is its just vanilla JS/CSS/HTML.

I worked at Tinder, we had something like 100 engineers for 20 million or whatever daily active users., and I think it was rather well managed with everyone doing a part. Reddit is 20x user wise and far more complex feature wise, so maybe it makes sense.
It seems absurd, but there’s a lot of things going on that you don’t think about. Bots, Ads, Moderation tooling, User management, Chat feature, NFTs, revenue features, push notifications, user targeting, ranking algorithms, etc all consist of whole teams.
See I don’t agree that these categorizations are capturing anything true in nature though. Its not as if, for example, that there are certain genetic expressions as there are for different colored eyes, where we can look at some genes and say “this and this are off, so this person has borderline personality disorder”, “this and these genes are present, so this person has autism and this other person, adhd”. Without the absence of any such factors, you have to ask, what are these categories actually capturing? The only answers seems to be, that they’re a group of symptoms, and worse still, a group of symptoms as seen by the judgement of a human being, based on the biased storytelling of the participant.
It seems to me, these categorizations are a very simplistic attempt of organizing certain behaviors/characteristics seen in people, by people, but they do not capture at all the why or how someone behaves in a way they do. For example, I think it’s entirely backwards to say someone has issues maintaining a relationship BECAUSE they have borderline personality disorder.
The reasons any one person may have issues with relationships can be a complex multitude of various ordinary factors which could befall any ordinary human being under the same circumstances, not easily present even to a trained psychologist/psychiatrist.
Another criticism I have is that it seems to me that alot of these issues are environmental. For example, I fit all the markers for ADHD. In an environment where I have to sit for 8 hours a day, do things Im not interested, do repetitive tasks for long long term goals, I am absolutely miserable as I have been. I get depressed, I don’t socialize, I can’t make relationships, etc. But as soon as you put me in an environment where I am free to do what I want, challenged with things I find interesting, all of a sudden literally all that flips. I am the most productive social person out there. Under one circumstance if I go to a psychiatrist, I have ADHD/depression/anxiety disorders, and the other I am a model healthy person, or even a manic. What gives? How can two people with the exact same brain, under different environments have opposing diagonses? Can these issues then be said to be disorders of the brain?
I think there is a danger to people categorizing themselves with such terms too, coming to see ALL their behaviors in a certain light because of a diagnosis, and not looking deeper. Oh I can’t do that, because I am ADHD, oh I have social anxiety so I can’t talk to people, etc.
Drugs are powerful, if they work by all means I am not against them.
95% of the people using reddit on mobile are already on official reddit app. Apollo going down isn’t going to cause a massive flee, just a portion of the small userbase that is Apollo users.
Reddit app has 10-15x the downloads as apollo mate
Omg thank goodness that was annoying me
Hey! This looks awesome. Im a programmer working on a UI. I would really really really like to use this and work with you on completing my project.
There’s definitely a good chance people would consider me on the spectrum. I learned how to be sociable though and I feel pretty normal for the most part.
I dont agree with analysing human behavior under such a lens though and I think psychology will completely reconsider its approach in the next 50-100 years as it has in the past.
I mean that describes me but I don’t try to manipulate people.
Late projects is just a theme used to convey the core ideas, as it is a common thinking/pitfall, but the reasoning of why late projects because later equally apply to initial software estimates.
The core idea is that software cannot be simple divided into “man months”. That is, saying this software will take 80 manhours, and therefore 10 engineers can do it in 10 days, and a 80 engineers could do it in a day. The reasoning being 1. Software tasks are complex and not easily partitioned, and 2. Software projects require a lot of communication and the more people you have the communication channels needed greatly increase. Essentially what happens is when you have too many people, more time is spent communicating what needs to be done and whose going to do it than doing the actual work.
In any case, efficiency is not really relevant because what happens in layoffs typically, is that entire teams/projects/or initiatives are dismantled. So its not about serving the same projects with less people, but reprioritizing whats essential.
Do you have any proof of that or are you just making shit up cause thats the first time I even heard anyone say that.
The amount of work getting done is directly proportional to the amount of people at a company
This is absolutely not true.
This is one of the most well known writings on software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month
Besides, its not just about efficiency, but about scope and use of resources. In economic boom cycles there is more capital to play around with non-essential ideas. When that access to capital dries up, so does viability of keeping extra resources for things that are not essential.
My coding style has always been to get out the core functionality then fix everything up, definitely not for everyone. Might be something I need to reconsider when working with others.
I love carbon, but I chose Ionic is because its very suited for mobile development. On the other hand it seems to have very severe limitations for mobile so it seems I have to pull in something else in as well.
The page load takes way too long (you should be using #await whenever possible)
I will, though part of the reason its slow is because its hitting lemmys backend over the network, as opposed to just a local network in a normal setup.
Right now its just fetching from lemmy.world. But I have my own instance on the same server as the front end client I can point it to.
That’s because I am confused on what I am asking for myself, but I can’t figure it out until I have discussions about it.
I will say the search page feels incredibly disjointed though; I think it should group all the same content (communities, posts, comments) instead of whatever it does right now.
This is one thing. Another is a being able to possibly toggle views of different instances within one UI. Another is something like multireddits, where you can view multiple communities contents together (/r/funny from one instance, and another).
It sounds to me like you’re asking for some sort of discoverability/content recommendations, perhaps? If this is the case, the general Fediverse culture tends to be against this sort of stuff as they see them as systems that promote more screen time and unhealthy habits, instead of actually engaging with what you know you want to engage with.
Thats a reasonable concern. The problem however I see is that if you don’t have way to easily discover communities, or have a way in which communities link to each other, then you end up with a single or perhaps couple massive instances and were essentially back to where we started.
Back in the day, the single entry point of discoverability used to be Google. You’d search for some topic and come onto some forum of that topic. That’s no longer really an option. If every instance is isolated on its own domain with no gateway between them, I don’t see much point to the fediverse.
The biggest problem to starting a new social media alternative has been the critical mass needed. I see the fediverse as a way of solving this problem, as you already have a bunch of users/content which can be shared with new instances.
That makes sense, but I am failing to see the issue. As long as one instance, or any single user from one instance makes that instance aware of the existence of another instance (currently by pasting the url of that instance in the community search), that is now visible and discoverable to all users.
Or worst case, your instance calls some aggregator, like browse.feddit.de to fetch all known instances.
All I am asking for a better UI for viewing content across these instances. What that looks like I am not totally sure. > Communities
I mean if you look at https://lemmy.world/communities/listing_type/All/page/1, you can already see a bunch of communities from other instances
I need to do some reading on how the fediverse works under the hood but if browse,feddit.de has visbility of all instances then certaintly there is a way for any instance that chooses to federate to have visibility into the fediverse
It seems like Jerboa uses GPLv3 as well, as does Bitwarden and some other open source apps. Its probably ok though it seems like it can run into trouble way down the line. Im going to keep the GPLv3 for now.
Just did some reading and it indeed does seem like GPL is not allowed in app stores as it does not allow any further restrictions (such as Apples store’s requirements).
I have to do some research.
Library should serve the community, and if the community feels it isnt doing so in its best regard they fully have the right to it, whether or not other people on the opposite side of the country like it
