> How exactly could you possibly have any sort of understanding for that?

I'm also confused by your question, so I can relate to you. :) Despite your warning, the way you phrased that question does sound like an attack, it implies that you know my experience does not allow me to speak on this subject, which you do not know. Why is it hard to think that I can empathize? What do you think you know about me that makes it implausible for me to understand this situation?

I can and do relate to it because I'm a published paper author. I imagine that it would be irritating to me as easily as I imagine it would be irritating to others. For me personally, I don't think it would make me angry, but it would give me anxiety to cast doubt on a paper I'd already published, even if the report about inaccuracies are true. It would mean that I didn't do as good a job as I thought, which of course I want to know, but a published paper is part of a record that cannot change. I'm sure many paper authors, for better or worse, have the same reaction, that something that casts doubt on their publications after the fact would cause some degree of mental anguish. That doesn't mean we shouldn't search for the truth, it means only what I said, that I can understand the reaction.

Your analogy to software errors fails. (And I also have first-hand experience with this as the owner of a software business.) Software is an on-going work that can and should be improved to remove errors at all times, and errors that get fixed do not affect my personal reputation or career. Reports of software errors can also be irritating in their own way - I don't want to know my software is buggy - but they are always welcome. Published papers cannot be improved, they are fixed in the permanent record. There are some ways to recover from severe errors, but there are no ways to recover from minor errors, and public (academic) perception of the quality and level of the errors in a paper can change the way an author is viewed.

There are two options here:

Use a bot to find tons of mistakes automatically and risk coming across as rude.

Or

Let social trivialities dominate scientific discourse and let most of those mistakes go unchecked forever because there's no feasible way to "politely" address hundreds of authors who made mistakes and keep checking back to make sure they actually fixed the mistake.

The former is clearly the preferable choice. Some individual scientists will suffer for it, but the scientific community as a whole will benefit greatly.

Their USP, which Facebook and Twitter can never compete with, is self-hosting. Multiple companies could set up, some with ad-free paid options, others funded by advertising. And if you don't like those options, you can host it yourself for you and your family.

I think that's a worthy goal, though I'm not convinced it we'll achieve it because of the amount of money the vested interests can throw at preventing it. But it remains a good idea, even if it never becomes mainstream.
I love KDB. When I first started, I hated it... with a fierce passion. I didn't see the point, but I was young and dumb and better looking.

When the "Why's that company so big? I can do that in a weekend." article came out last week:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12626314

I immediately thought of Kx and KDB and how it is literally the exact opposite. If people only knew how small the firm started with Arthur hacking away seemingly out developing entire corporations they would laugh.

Twitter is a (I think very well designed) forum for public debate.

Good systems for public debate are the precondition for democracy.

In a democracy they are the infrastructure on which all other infrastructure depends. Every subsequent spending decision is influenced by them.

If you turn off public debate nothing will break the next day, but in a decade most people's lives will be misery.

Probably lithium polymer but yeah: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yD_Eal1_5NI

My RC aircraft group has a 55 gallon drum with salt water at our flying field. RC aircraft pretty much exclusively use lithium polymer packs, sometimes 2 the size of bricks in larger models / big helis. If a lipo starts smoking, you chuck it in the salt water and it shorts it out + cools it down. The reaction when they short internally (such as when they malfunction or get damaged e.g. When a heli crashes and smashes the pack -- they're not super rigid) is more thermite than dynamite, but it can still burn through things like flying tin can aircraft.

> How would you provide the functionality that hashtags do on the public timeline?

That is what search engines are for. The whole point of the Internet is that you can build businesses on top of open protocols with interoperable implementations. Giving up on open protocols and control of data (you can't even save images on Instagram...) "because hashtags" is incredibly shortsighted.
It's too bad that the cost to sequence a human genome was above $100 million dollars in 1997. Of course, by the time Jeanne Calment was 122 years old her genome would have accumulated thousands of mutations, so what we would have needed is to sequence her in 1875, the year that she was born (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Now that the price of sequencing the human genome is ~$1000, is it worthwhile to sequence all newborns, so that on the off chance that a person is a long lived anomaly we can study what made them so?

Your post is just not true. There are writers, artists, actors, etc who have been discovered through Twitter or have used it to significantly broaden their audience. @sosadtoday and Mira Gonzalez are two writers off her top of my head who basically built their careers on Twitter. And this isn't even getting into the "weird Twitter" phenomenon.

Point being, people do read what you say and it's possible to get a lot of exposure. Maybe you're just not tweeting anything interesting.

And with UEFI-level code on mainboards and baseband software on phones, the era of "owning" a computer is basically over.

Probably because not many providers sell the phone, they'd rather rip you off with whatever overpriced contract they can. A few years ago many providers did have the N5 and it did do very well (anecdotally). I think if they could lock those deals down they'd do better, but I'm sure there's some conflicts of interest at play there.

If your target only has two KB of RAM, Lua is a no-go, I guess. But skill-wise, I can highly recommend it. The reference manual is very well-written, the Lua language itself is very nice and easy to learn, and Lua's C interface is very pleasant to use; and again: the documentation is very good. (Also, the community is very friendly!)

If you ever take a shot at it, the Lua Users Wiki (http://lua-users.org/wiki/) is a good starting point.

I was recently introduced to functional programming when I started learning Elixir. There seems to be so much potential with Elixir and I am not kidding when I say that learning the concepts of functional programming was one of the more "mind bending" ventures I have taken. I don't mean this in a negative way. If anything, it opened my mind to think about problem solving/programming in a completely different way.

For example, something as simple as assigning a variable has so much more meaning and functionality than I am used to, thanks to pattern matching.

I look forward to diving deeper into functional programming. Thanks for posting.
