> That stands in stark contrast to Facebook.

Although I agree that Facebook might have changed more than Twitter I'm wondering myself the same for them. I use Facebook since 2008 or so, and the changes/improvements were very marginally for me. The biggest thing was timeline (already long ago). Since then I only discovered minor stuff ( like "yay, after several years I can finally select emojis in the chat bar", self-playing videos, different like-types, after years finally another search field, ...), but nothing which really answers why Facebook needs that amount and growth of engineers from a pure user perspective.

Reverse SSL backdoor with socat and metasploit (2011)
I see it differently. I was around when Bill Clinton was under siege. The "Left Wing" papers (WaPo, for example, was my local) turned on him just like the right wing outlets did.

Some sites don't do this. When it became clear that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was misguided, the propaganda sites did not jump on board. When Rumsfeld finally admitted we weren't going to find weapons of mass destruction the right-biased sites changed the narrative and started trying to make other stories dominate the news cycle.

It happens on the left as well (watch some of the MSNBC shows). That's the difference. It shows up in the willingness to criticize your own team.

The top Breitbart headline, "Criminal Aliens Sexually Assault 70,000 American Women — But Paul Ryan Targets Trump", is willfully inciting anti-immigrant sentiment by taking numbers out of context. According to the report they cite, 69,929 criminal aliens (or 3% of the total criminal alien population they measured) had been arrested for sex-related crimes between August 1955 and April 2010. The number is true but the inference is false.

While the Huffington Post obviously sensationalizes things too, their top headline, "SEX ASSAULT SPREE / ACCUSATIONS PILE UP", is completely true: the accusations are piling up. I don't think you can draw an equivalence here.
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed as well. But he wouldn't be touring if he didn't enjoy it.

> for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition

There's no doubt he did this, but ... do songs count as literature? I'm not really sure they do, and much as I love the songs, the lyrics by themselves don't have anything like the impact (on me at least) of top-notch poetry
Folks unironically using the term "thought leader" are one of the reasons people dislike Twitter...
Sets a useful precedent - songwriters are the poets of our time and are under-appreciated from a critical perspective.

There's still time for Leonard Cohen; he'd have been my choice. But another songwriter probably won't happen again so soon.

I find myself reminded of an tv ad Volvo ran back in the day.

They had stacked a bunch of boxes with a Volvo logo on in the rough shape of their sedan. Then the presenter, after giving a spiel about non-brand parts, replaced one box with another that held a different logo, whereby the whole stack collapsed.

BTW, i think there was a recent dustup about HP printers and third party cartridges, where said cartridges stopped working after a certain date.
I think the self promotion would be much more well received if he open sourced more of this stuff for the benefit of humanity in a Musk/Stark manner. The company could continue with other business models like hosting Alpha etc. If that were the case, we really could consider positions like OP on its own merits instead of underpinned by marketing.
All software used by and written for the government should be open source, just like all research paid for with government funds should be open access.
What is the performance penalty of using generated styles on every render?

As far as I can see from the source code, React will have to modify `<style>` tag every time a component is being rendered.

I still think the best way to handle stylesheets is with external css file ( doesn't matter how it's generated. I use CSSModules ) and then add static class names for those components.
Also good to take a look at how the Apple R&D figure has developed:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/273006/apple-expenses-fo...

Take for example 2010. R&D was less than $2Bi, but they already had iPhone 4, iPods, maintained two operating systems and bunch of other software, had the desktop line, two laptops lines and launched iPad.
Money means you can do a wider range of things, but those things are different not nessisarily better. I don't think going to space would be all that much more interesting than going snorkeling coral reefs the first time.

Also, if you look at the lives of people that inherent lot's of money they tend to do the higher versions of the same kind of things. It's like throw a party with great music, vs throw a party with a live band when what makes a party fun is not the music it's the people there.

It boggles my mind how people still are paying attention to the nobel's price.

It means it can be trained by backpropagating the error gradient through the network.

To train a neural network, you want to know how much each component contributed to an error. We do that by propagating the error through each component in reverse, using the partial derivatives of the corresponding function.

> 300 km/h [..] normal untrained person is safe to drive on the German autobahn

German here. No normal untrained person should be driving at those speeds. The general recommended speed for the autobahn is 130 km/h. Typical speeds on the middle and left lanes are up to 200 km/h though most days the typical "high" speed is probably closer to 170 or 180.

With good weather, no traffic and no roadworks (hah) you might be able to go over 200 km/h for a while but unless it's a long straight stretch you're probably way out of your comfort zone unless you're an experienced driver.

I would say a normal untrained person is safe to drive at speeds up to about 180 km/h. Most ordinary cars seem to handle noticeably worse with every 10 you go beyond 160 km/h or so.

And of course the entire discussion of typical speeds is philosphical when most of the Autobahn has speed limits (roadworks often limit the speed to 60 or even 40 km/h (or less) and even on normal parts the speed limit frequently is as low as 120, 100 or 80 km/h).

This is quite clever. The catch is that it assumes implementation specific details (like a little-endian architecture) while OP's code is (probably) portable C.
Well deserved.
Give me a break!
I am not accusing you personally of this, but the tactic of continually accusing more and more mainstream publications of being left-leaning in order to make room for e.g. Breitbart / InfoWars is becoming increasingly common, and it's a wholly fallacious argument. All you need to do is push the boundary of the extreme right quite far along and all the sudden all ordinary news outlets lean "left" by comparison.

I recently watched Herb Sutter's talk "Leak-Freedom in C++", described in the article [1], and I can't help but notice that C++ community has a strong bias against garbage collection. ... And then he describes the very problem you can't solve without GC: memory management for graphs with cycles. Solving this problem is equivalent to implementing GC. Of course, having your own specialized GC may help, but you may also benefit from your own memory allocation.

Why can't you acknowledge that there are problems that have GC as the only and best solution?

(Note: it's possible to mix memory management approaches, e.g only pointers to graph nodes are being garbage collected and everything else has a nice hierarchical ownership.)

The Nobel "you tried" Peace Prize
Annectodatally, I remember that some years ago my phone used to take 5-10 minutes to find GPS whenever I asked for directions. Now adays, it's instantaneous.

The software has improved dramatically, using some combination of previously saved location, WIFI triangulation, and dead reconning to figure out a near accurate location to within 50 feet so long as you're in a city.

Car navigation systems can do better. They're not even 'pure' GPS services, they have access to mobile cell, they do online updates for maps, and their accelerometers are far better than phones. The software though is simply worse than what Google can provide.
Excellent comment/verse, given the context. Congrats on the insight.
If that paragraph is not suggesting the far-right may be responsible, why does it refer to their "bitter protests" immediately after the theory that an "angry underclass" are burning cars?

Why even mention the far-right at all, if nobody is suggesting they have something to do with these crimes?
It is a huge and unjustified leap to go from "ambiguity is a feature of natural languages" to "it means that laws can be interpreted any which way we want". It is interesting that this appears in a discussion of this topic.

In reality, natural language can be precise - consider a textbook on logic, for example. It is humans that are ambiguous, and if you force them to use a language that has a precise meaning, they will simply write things that do not mean exactly what they intend. We know this is so from observing how programming errors are made.
There's some evidence that democracy is unsustainable without economic growth.

Most measures of economic activity like GDP are measures of the total movement of resources, where such movements are monetized. That is, increasing growth means increasing distribution. (There's no guarantee that the distribution is better, of course.)

This looks like absolutely the best approach, but there's one thing I don't like about it: communication between IntentServices and the UI thread feels so... wasteful. The sanest way to do it, I think, is keep communication to a minimum, relying solely on the local DB as a source of information. But then every operation you do to fetch remote data immediately results in at least a couple of DB operations (store it, read it) and a ton of serialization. As far as I know, there's no simple way to pass an object from the service to the UI.

> Google’s adoption of gradle has been a disaster and proved to be a terrible decision. It did help out with some previous issues, namely multiple app targets, but it’s slowed down compilation severely. It also makes for masochistic configuration files with major redundancy and fragmented dependency hosts. Getting an app to compile shouldn’t be a challenge.

To be fair iOS dependency management is also a huge pain. CocoaPods is worse than working with Gradle in my opinion.
Because GC wastes cycles on the user's machines instead of just hiring a competent developer who can manage memory properly. As we move to a more mobile world, wasted cycles matter more. So no. While GC is the definite answer to "how do I allow my dog to make a 'press this button for fart sound' app?" Is it most certainly not the definitive answer (though perhaps a passable one) to "how do I write good fast stable software?"

I would argue that it is not just bias. Indeed, not all people of color in the U.S. are experts on racism, but the vast majority of people with a good understanding of racism are people of color.
curious is there design pattern for that? could you still have one code base similar to how different processors are compiled? or some kind of wrapper component? seems like there should be someone to write the code once and not need to make a copy.

I agree. Sensationalizing news stories has been going on since news was a thing. Each organization picks what they think is important and then makes it as exciting to their readers as they can.

My wife is a news junkie. She actually watches CSPAN along with all of the news channels. Sometimes I catch the same story from a few different places, and it is clear they ALL apply their own bias. For a current example, Fox tries to pluck out emails from the leak that show some wrong doing and MSNBC has a story about a leaked email sharing a risotto secret.

They should. Literature and poetry started from rhapsodies, sagas, and other forms of song-based storytelling, and it's not very good that it diverted so much to some kind of literary ivory tower.

You can open Android Studio, create a new project and "Go!". It'll work. Then you can add a single line of code to dependencies and you get even better APIs!

I also have no idea why are you mixing the device updates into the developer tooling argument. New apps are (should be - and the tutorials tell you so) developed with API 19+ in mind which means that you'll have to work for quite a while to get any problems with fragmentation and updates. You can even start development on API 21 and ditch support libraries all together and STILL not shed significant amount of userbase.

If you read the author's (good) previous post on Twitter, you'll notice this at the end:

"Twitter revenue is still rising and is running about $2.5 billion per annum. It is a website that once ran extremely well on less than $250 million in costs. (No I am not joking.)

If you can't make this have a 40 percent operating margin then - frankly you are inadequately brutal. Personally I think 50 percent is possible.

At this market cap that works extremely well for a financial buyer. Its a no-brainer even.

So expect it to be bought. By some Wall Street bastard armed with a lot of debt.

And that bastard will fire a lot of people.

If I worked at Twitter I would be preparing my resume and providing a list of really quick things that can be done to improve the user experience - with the code all mapped out. That largely involves getting rid of spam bots and the like. But unless it radically improves the user experience or monetisation and you can convince the new owners you can implement then you are out.

And the fashion-obsessed philosopher king. He is out too whether there is a buyer or not. That is necessary to save the company.

This is true but it has to do with habituation more than the 'stuff' itself.[1]

People quickly become accustomed to any new positive thing introduced into their lives, make that the baseline and then start wanting something better.

The minimal stuff threshold is about survival and homeostasis, once that is achieved, anything beyond that does not produce lasting gains in happiness.

I think everyone prefer iterative development. I love web dev because I can get instant gratifications (no compile time). I think it's mostly because I'm lazy though.

I also manage a legacy system where I make hot fixes in production, where setting up a testing environment is not practical. While I do introduce bugs, they are far less because I'm forced to plan carefully, and know how everything works.

One problem with development is that it's hard to predict what will happen, and thus it gets difficult to make estimates. But if you carefully analyze and plan, things will go much smoother.
