If a website or service doesn't give me an option to close/delete my account then I shouldn't be forced to receive TOS change emails that I cannot unsubscribe from.. Makes no sense..

Yeah the latest Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 with Ryzen 6000 series are amazing. High-refresh rate OLED panels, RDNA 2 graphics, good design, stellar battery life. A friend of mine has been trying to get his hands on one but sadly they're out of stock everywhere!

I got a 3rd party keyboard on the 2018 MBA. It feels great to type and program on, stable keys with lots of key travel. So good that I introduced #subs already.

Oh my goodness, I've been trying to re-discover Subreply for a long time (at least more than 2 years), wondering why I didn't bookmark it, and even misremembering it as substack (my mind is a mess 😵💫). But today I found it again! Thanks to HN 🥲 (I believe the first time I discovered Subreply was also on HN 😅).

The biggest scam is selling automation robots as a "subscription service" instead of a one time fee.

In other news, tookapic.com is shutting down. It launched in 2014, same as Sub. Their comments section was an inspiration for how replies look here. I will never shut down Sub now that is has this nice .com domain. I optimized the backend performance for the cost of a Netflix/Spotify subscription.

Do you have new features in mind for Subreply in the near future or are you pretty happy with it as it is for now?

Both Mastodon and Pleroma have features to only see content from within your server.

Are you talking about the Local feed? That doesn't solve the problem of trying to have a conversation with people on your instance only to have some troll from shitposter.club or neckbeard.xyz jump in. Mastodon provides public, unlisted, followers-only, and direct--but not local-only, and unlisted isn't an adequate substitute because unlisted toots are still accessible from the open web.

I check in subreply everyday. There is little activity, no? I thought to myself, why I am not contributing? The lack of channels / subs / groups makes it difficult to invest energy. Conversation, like anything, requires direction or moderation to keep focused. Otherwise, we are yelling into the void. That's nice too. sometimes.

It would probably be fairly advantageous to game engines if they developed a simpler, quick language (say Lua) targeting a high-level subset of said engine's functionality. In terms of on-boarding new developers, I wonder how many kids/teens churn due to some combination of not understanding C# or Unity's docs. Roblox seems to demonstrate there's value in doing this.

federalregister.gov is such an interesting website, but incredibly information dense. Does anyone (e.g. government employees, contractors) use it effectively and/or regularly? Curious how efficiently it can be used. For example, if I wanted to find every tax credit and subsidy for a given industry, how many searches would it take for me to enumerate them?

I'm a student in a somewhat "practical" field of academia and my reading of the h-index is a little more cynical. It seems to me that often the people with higher h-indices have more papers (and they're of course often of very high quality) and they get cited by other papers, sometimes in a citation loop. But they aren't necessarily practical! They may not have a deployment, or often even code that isn't "gradware". I may be way wrong and I look forward to a counter view. :)
Cole Hudson
I actually agree with your points! The h-index also misses that often many people don't even read the papers they cite! Though I think the h-index should be replaced, it strikes me that it would be an interesting project to do an h-index for politicians, e.g. how many pieces of legislation have they contributed to which we're then subsequently used. It has all the same problems as a metric, but would be interesting nonetheless.
