Sounds like a reason to use views to work around the limitations of BigQuery

> Why does citing ChatGPT make me feel so ugly inside?

Its the modern let me Google that for you. Just like people don't care what the #1 result on Google is, they also don't care what ChatGPT has to say about it. If they did, they'd ask it themselves.

faangsticle··on We need more of Richard Stallman's ideas, not less
What kind of nonsense reply is this? What in the previous comment lead you to believe they never experienced diversity? They only commented on the impact of their workplace by incompetent managers, which is a very common experience.

Hate to break it to you but the 2 party system is and has been broken for a very long time. You're choosing between two choices that are mostly identical. Introduce some extra parties if you want healthy politics.

A note to users: not everyone was born speaking your language. The hubris...

Oh HN, you can be so special :) Flagging someone for acknowledging languages other than american-english exist.

faangsticle··on Keycloak – Open-source identity and access management interview
You absolutely don't have to build a container. You can, and it makes startup a few seconds faster so they recommend it, since it's hardly a pain anyway if you already have CI in place.

Anyway, they changed the default behavior a few releases ago. In the past you had to pass --auto-build to avoid having to build, but now the default behavior is to auto build. If you instead want to optimize you have to do extra steps: https://www.keycloak.org/server/configuration

faangsticle··on Keycloak – Open-source identity and access management interview
Simplest form is `docker run --restart=unless-stopped` and `systemctl enable docker`

They will restart when crash, and after reboot.

> I didn't want to mess around with JVM dependencies and 100% didn't want to start messing around with k8s for such a small project.

That's what the docker image is for: https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-doc...

    docker run -p 8080:8080 -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:21.1.1 start-dev

Well, except for when you program the software that way.

faangsticle··on The note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
There's still automod that you can use to just delete everything the moment it appears.
faangsticle··on The note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
They are still running the show. Making your subreddit private is, or at least used to be, a perfectly legitimate way of running things. Remember, reddit added that feature to their website.
faangsticle··on The note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
They work for reddit for free. You can work for someone without an employment contract or official relationship.
faangsticle··on The note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
I wonder what reddit means with "retaliation attempts". This all sounds very threatening. Are they going to pull a wizards of the cost and start sending Pinkerton agents after mods who dont play ball?

If they're undeleting anything they're going to get fucked by EU privacy regulations. I hope they are.
faangsticle··on Tell HN: Google search sucks even more during Reddit blackout
Didn't google used to show a link to their cached version for every result?

The funny thing is that reddit could be rolling in cash if they hadn't decided to become a (very crappy) video and image host

faangsticle··on Did Reddit just destroy mobile browser access?
I mean the other way around. Sure, bully your users by default but let them opt out via a somewhat hidden setting. If they use the setting instead of installing the app you have your result.

> It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

Wow. Most companies at least have the grace to allow users to opt out of these kind of experiments via a "labs" kind of configuration.

faangsticle··on Show HN: Java REST without annotations, DI nor reactive streams
Interoperability with libraries that can be loaded at runtime, and in general skipping a build step that would make development annoying to do.
faangsticle··on Show HN: Java REST without annotations, DI nor reactive streams
To be clear, most (all?) DI frameworks are available with plain classes without annotations. They do use reflection to figure out which parameter goes where, but that's it.

    public class Foo {
      public Foo(Bar bar, Baz baz) {}
    }
Is a perfectly valid class as far as most DI frameworks are concerned.

> it calls constructors to create dependency objects, and passes constructor parameters to inject them

So, basically DI. This is the recommended mode of operation of Guice & Spring.
