Infrastructure is a bad word to Wall Street, it implies it's no longer a growth stock. Wall Street will burn TWTR to the ground if it doesn't keep growing because no one on Wall Street cares about value, they want consistent quarter-over-quarter growth. This makes public companies like Twitter flail about wildly trying to find anything to keep their stock price from sinking even if it's outside their wheelhouse and wildly distorts their services/products.

Is any of this to be expected? Twitter is a private company and they have to create artificial scarcity to sell access to their platform. We still live in a market economy, no matter how much everyone on Twitter would like to think otherwise. They're just trying to pay the bills. Treating Twitter like a public platform is a disservice both to actual public infrastructure as well as the roll of private enterprise.

> "correcthorsebatterystaple" is ok, "correct! horse battery Σtaple" is better.

"better" is a dangerous term. Better as for bruteforce guessing resilience? Sure. Better for security? That would be much less certain. Once you discover the users can't enter it on mobile (no Σ on default keyboard) you'd have to provide replacement mechanism for them or allow them to easily reset passwords. Which probably would be the way your security will be compromised soon. And, of course, the users will be losing such fancy passwords at incredible rates, which would generate a lot of noise on "password reset" system which would make it harder for you to detect abuse there. And that not even considering that humans are very bad at avoiding biases and choosing "random" character replacements - they probably would do the same thing in 90% of cases (yes, you are in the 10% of course, but that doesn't change the statistics), like replacing o with 0 and adding ! at the end. Which robots would defeat instantly.

So it's not about forbidding you from using your special characters. It's that using them - on the whole, not for you personally - may not make any improvement, and if you force it, might actually make the matters worse. Encouraging long passwords that one can remember would seems to be actually better. Or doing away with passwords and using something else :)
The system is concerned with legibility to itself first, more than reducing crime. Without legibility, there is no avenue to even be effective through! Specific instances of staff being blackmailed or bribed are simply addressed through the traditional channels of power, and thus creation of their possibility is not a problem.
"C++ is a standard, JS is a standard." seems to miss the point.

a better (but still imperfect) comparison would be suggesting to rewrite c libs in c++, given the latter's somewhat better type safety.

That's referring to Gnip still. They offer several levels of access and historical search, in addition to the firehose stream, for money.

There's nothing in the mail suggesting they "want special access cases handled through Gnip".
It's 'unfortunate' because it reflects poorly on your company. The developer didn't do anything wrong.

The rest of your explanation is just specious, as pointed out by other people, and also reflects poorly on your company.

I really like Qt and think its an incredible framework overall. Even if you don't use the Qt libraries, QtCreator is one of the best C++ IDEs out there imo (though qmake really sucks and they've been dragging their feet on a proper replacement for years)

The real show stopper for me with Qt is its licensing though. LGPL is a no-go on closed mobile platforms and its commercial license at $350/month is completely unreasonable for smaller developers. Really, the LGPL is a horrible license because of its clause that you must be able to change out the LGPL portion of the software.

Also almost every time there's a thread about Qt I see a bunch of (presumably) web developers start talking about React. In fact, in pretty much every thread talking about any similar framework someone has to mention React. I'm not a web developer and I've only looked at React briefly but I guess I just don't get it. Could someone explain succinctly what the big deal is? I've used Qt a lot -- what do all these people mentioning React want Qt to offer? Why is it brought up so often? Is it really that revolutionary? Almost seems like a cult.
Exactly, so if they are not meant to be input, as the article claims, why are they passwords and not keys? Why they are even checked to be valid unicode strings? I know of no encryption algorithm that cares about key being a valid unicode string. Looks like just laziness in distinguishing which data should be binary and which should be Unicode string.
Analogy is pretty logical though, you are essentially casting to something and seeing if you can manipulate it in a certain way.
Cards are sometimes faster but using my card usually goes like this:

Shows ID next to card so they can compare

"Sign this receipt, please. This one's your copy."

At which point I'm wishing I'd just used cash.

However, I am ostensibly just a nobody and the founders (although they don't treat me poorly or anything) have much better credentials being Ivy league and technical, financial and business oriented.

Did their Ivy league pedigree and technical, financial, and business orientation let them raise enough money to pay you a market salary? No? Then their pedigree is worth precisely what yours is.

If you feel really strongly that you want to be an employee and not a co-founder, ask for a market salary and let them, as a courtesy, pay it with N% cash until they raise a round and (100-N)% on a promissory note due as soon as they raise > $50k worth of funding.

Well the 12-unit grid is normally chosen based on being divisible by [1,2,3,4,6,12]. 16-unit is divisible by [1,2,4,8,16], but I see that you added a "thirds" class to deal with that. 20-unit could be an option as it covers divisibility by [1,2,4,5,10,20] but also critically ignores 3 column. 24-unit (the product of the first four positive integers) is divisible by [1,2,3,4,5,6,8,12,24], so it would naturally allow the most flexibility at the cost of very granular 1/24 elements.

The author acts as if all people get more out of welfare programs than they put in. In fact, she goes so far as to say that people pay taxes for "selfish" reasons.

Nothing could be further from the truth. If this were true, then taxes would need not be compulsory, as it would be in an individual's best interest to pay them. Let's be honest. These programs benefit /some/ people and take from others. It is essentially the majority voting to appropriate resources from the minority.

And how can the author claim that these services are "high quality"? Does she know how much it would have cost in the free market? What if a the same "high quality" medical check-up would cost $5 in the free market and $50 in Finland? It should have been at least 10X better than the one in the free market in order to be deemed "high quality". I'm not saying it's not better, I am just saying that she can't claim such things without knowing the data.

Further, I would much rather have lower taxes than a year of paid leave. If the average person works 40 years and is taxed at a mere 25%, then they might as well have had 10 years of unpaid leave, and no taxes. I realize that there are other reasons to pay taxes, but my point is that, out of 40 years, a paid year off is equivalent to only a 2.5% decrease in taxes for that individual. And if someone actually did get more out of taxes than they put in, even ignoring the incentives and efficiency of government, it is still because they are taking that money from somebody else.

I could go on about the rest of this article, but I think I'll stop here...
Some people have spikey workloads.
I often use tagged union like interfaces in TS. It's definitly doable, but it might be a little more work than in Flow. For the definitions I do things like interface BaseInterface { TYPE_NAME: string }, interface DervicedInterface extends BaseInterface { ...content }. And to safely access the content of one or the other type I'm using user defined type guards like function isDerived(a: BaseInterface): a is DerivedInterface { return a.TYPE_NAME === ... }

I run my own email server, but partly because I've done this since I started using email. I'd be unlikely to start again today (but see my final point, below)

Every year the process gets more and more involved. Usually it's a new 'trick' or nuance that is needed to have Google accept my mails without marking them as spam.

It's not like the solutions are necessarily particularly hard (or bad, for example they made mandatory things like SPL when when IPv6 is used). But you end up with zero information to debug on. If you're lucky the message will bounce, but worse it just festers in your recipient's spam folder.

That said, I end up with something better -- SpamAssassin works great, with far greater success than Google makes of my employer's inbox (probably it has more cpu cycles per-message.) dovecot's IMAP implementation is far superior for searching and performance. Google's filtering is so bad it's of very limited use, procmail is much better. And you get to avoid Google's tiresome de-duplication of messages (a great help for mailing lists)

For about 15 years we administered a personal email server as a small co-operative of 3-4 people. This is the way to go IMO.
If your passwords are entered by humans (which is usually what "password" means) then you want to treat it as a real Unicode string so that you can normalize it before you do the dirty work on it. Otherwise you could end up with a situation where, for example, a user's password contains "é" and fails when entered on certain systems because that system composes é differently from the system on which the password was set.
Given that the last few iterations of the computing revolution (Gates & co. to the Steves for PCs, Page & Brin to Zuckerberg for the web) have been shaped by bachelor university students or dropouts, all of whom embodied the code-until-burnout all-nighter lifestyle, I see what you mean.

> "API to be consumed in language X then you need to write the API itself in language X"

I have to agree with the OP's point if your writing a library you should write it in the base language (common denominator). I work on JVM stuff and nothing is more annoying then dealing with a very nice library written in Scala, Clojure or Groovy and have it not work in plain Java. Plain Java on the other hand works fine in Scala,Clojure, and Groovy.

The above JVM languages compile to byte code (which I guess would be analogous to WebAssembly).

Thus I'm not sure if transpiling is as bad since Xtend (which is more analogous since its a Java transpiler) is very interoperable AND does not compile to bytecode directly.

So WebAssembly might end up being just as bad as the plethora of JVM languages that are sort of interoperable.

And this is exactly why Google's hype of their tech is getting dangerous for everyone else, who is not Google. Because they advocate, nay, they preach, that everyone should abandon what they're doing and do what Google tells them works. And, oh, look, we just released those nice, free tools you can use to do it like we do!

Which is insane. Google is a corporate entity. It has financial interests. The purpose of its existence is to sell you its stuff, it doesn't give a dime if you'll solve your problems or not.

Voxel data is just a bunch of points, the rendering mechanism makes it no more or less 'voxely'. Ultimately you have some scheme to take your voxel data and turn it into triangles that you can display if your goal is 3d. If you use plain cubes, you will get Minecraft-esque things, at least if you get close enough to the surface. If you use a technique like marching cubes or tetrahedron you can make very fluid or blobby looking things but it is very hard to make a flat surface or a sharp corner. There are methods like dual-contouring which can do both sharp corners and fluid surfaces, but are a more complex, and require combining various densities of voxel data to render fine details. Stitching the voxels of different densities has its own challenges, at least without creating gross artifacts at the edges.
