A lot of it had to do with creatively told stories about the events in a playthrough, particularly with some succession games - games passed along to others after a set time elapses. The first one I'm aware of is Boatmurdered:

To be fair to MS, a local bank switched their systems and introduced a vuln that leaves the username and password in the form as it opens the account in a new tab. It's still there 3 weeks later.

Edit: This is sarcasm but the bank story is true.
I have no clue why they stopped developing it any further, in old days you would eagerly wait for a new feature, every couple of month. That's also true back then it didn't even have image upload.

I'd expect it be something between Facebook and twitter itself. Nope never google+.

It needs a fresh look hmm! By fresh I meant the design as the aesthetics of web Facebook messenger a modern, miminial, fresh look. That Facebook lacks.

I'd want to it be bit less minimal but not as much bloated as Facebook hence I suggestrd earlier something between the Facebook and twitter itself.

It's stalled and boring, and at this point it looks like a driveless train that could hit the dead end pretty soon.
How so? A PHP runtime running WP on .NET needs to be bug-for-bug compatible with the real thing (and I've heard early PHP APIs aren't exactly a paragon of API design).

Also, why would php-on-net be updated more often than one of the most used runtimes on the web?
I feel like you might be sarcastic, but I really do think so.
>This is a sentiment that crops up again and again. In particular as long time users of a terminal ui (not necessarily CLI but using ASCII/ANSI to draw the interface, and keyboard for input) when they transition to a GUI replacement.

I used to play Bard's Tale when a kid and I had memorizedthe keyboard movements from town to various dungeons on the map, and would navigate the map without even looking as it was muscle-memory for where things were... I always loved that.
Not to be a fanboy but I use a Mac and one of the things that they clearly did a huge amount of research and fine tuning on is the scrolling. I can always tell when there's non native scrolling on a site and it always sucks. Maybe I'm out of touch, but IMO the smoothness of the scrolling is an OS or hardware level feature. If somebody's OS or hardware does not scroll smoothly, then clearly it's something that they're used to from every other site they visit.

Putting a "smooth scrolling" library in makes about as much sense as rendering all of your site's text on canvas because some computers have font aliasing issues. It reeks of a micromanaging CEO getting fixated on some arbitrary requirement that makes stuff look better only on his computer.

Bumps on my MBP late '13 are now F & J for what it's worth.
- Go private. Twitter is a simple product and will be increasingly difficult to monetize enough to satisfy shareholders' desire for ever-increasing profits.

- Keep it simple. Stop trying to be Facebook and Snapchat and Youtube all at once.

- Better AI / search to enable/improve things like custom timelines and notifications.

- Optional paid accounts with appropriate benefits. Keep the cost low and don't penalize unpaid accounts.
The few times I've had the luck of working with 10x developer (or Nx for some unknown value of N) what I noticed was raw intelligence, insatiable thirst for learning and curiosity, and an intense focus bordering on obsessive.
I would suggest a number of other languages you could consider that are better languages than PHP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CLI_languages
This dude is 100% right. Every developer I've worked with ever gives zero fucks about privacy. This is one change that has to happen with us, because you're damn right users aren't going to care.
> The 8 hour workday was made possible by increasing productivity, mostly due to accumulated production capital and technological improvements

I think that's actually also ahistorical. There are some scholars who believe that before industrial revolution, commoners only worked on average 6 hours per day.
How are any of the things you listed undermined by corporate MitM?

Everything you listed is information that the company already has access to. Why isn't it sufficient for there to be access controls by policy, the same way the company protects other sensitive information from unauthorized acres within the company?
I love this pattern. I've been studying web performance for a while in the context of working on my project Gatsby [0] — a React.js static site generator. The next version of Gatsby is explicitly patterned after PRPL.

Gatsby at build time generates a static HTML version of each page. Which makes the initial load time of a Gatsby site super fast. The browser then loads the minimum Javascript necessary to make that page interactive. Then in a service worker, it starts prefetching Javascript and data necessary for other pages so that when you click on a link, it takes very little time to fetch the code/data and then make the page transition.

A couple sites running 1.0 code that you can check out are my blog https://www.bricolage.io/ and an example site cloned from Instagram https://gatsbygram.gatsbyjs.org/

I wrote up the performance plans for Gatsby in this issue [1].

One analogy I came up for that which I really like is to JIT or lean manufacturing.

Quoting myself:

"There's a close analogy to just-in-time manufacturing ideas. Companies found that the way to be the most responsive to customers is to actually avoid doing work ahead of time. When they did do work ahead of time this would paradoxically slow them down as the speculative work would get in the way of getting the work done that's actually necessary (resource contention).

For both manufacturing and web apps there's high inventory cost (unused code takes up memory) and a premium on responsiveness. The car customer wants their new car yesterday and the web app consumer wants their app running immediately. Any work you do ahead of time because "they might need it" gets in the way of the app being responsive to the user.

With both you want to wait until the user asks for something and then work overtime to get it to them as fast as possible."

I recently built a machine learning web app. When I was building it, I didn't find many resources for how to design it- I wanted to do a write up to get feedback on the code layout, and to help others in the same position.
They actually have a 14-day grace period now, but only if the vendor says it has a patch that's almost ready to go (and can be deployed within that 14-day period).

So I guess Microsoft missed both of those deadlines.
Yeah, my health insurance costs about $800/month before the employer portion, for two people, no preexisting conditions, no children.
Seems to be good for me now too. For a while I was just getting an error page in German after a long delay :)
Zarget's Session Replay – Record and replay user’s actual experience
I'm surprised Twitter didn't become the newer, better Reddit.
I'm not sure if your "joke" is relevant. .NET core is open source: https://github.com/dotnet/core
Presumably these two facts are related? I would assume this was supposed to get patched this month within the 90 day deadline but some last minute issue delayed the patch.
Since you need to support versions of PHP that don't support the extensions that have parameterized queries.
At least with Android you can switch keyboards very easily.
I was going to do something similar, but decided just to implement <progress> instead.
Judging by https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/list?can=1&q..., it looks like Apple, Adobe and Microsoft are the main vendors who miss deadlines, although I don't know how many other vendors Project Zero focuses on in total.
Circles sort of make sense from a design point of view, but suck from a UX point of view. They are too time-consuming to maintain for a user. I think adding some sort of tagging system could be a better system, so I could use tags to say "this tweet is 'tech' related" or "'sports' related" and then followers could decide if they only want to follow a subset of my tweets by tag. Would make search/discovery easier too.

Umm, not that great. Whatever security features they are adding to Windows 10, they seem to be overshadowed by all the other crap they're putting in Windows 10.
Pivot to a NSFW platform. It already is but most people don't know that side of it. I'm pretty sure porn is the only reason tumblr's still breathing so it might work.
I wouldn't become the CEO of Twitter. If I were, I would resign. I think the business model of these "free services but you pay with your data and advertisements" is despicable. I would much rather spend my time creating and popularizing FOSS protocols for communication if I am to work in this area.

I think Twitter has always been a completely ridiculous service and it's a poster child for this misguided iteration of Internet companies. If we just get enough users, we HAVE to make a profit! Turns out that isn't the case. The only thing I've seen Twitter accomplish is poisoning our collective consciousness with false information and a bad model of reality provided by an unsustainable system.

In principle one shouldn't need a password manager on Android: the accounts manager should be able to do its job for apps, and your browser should be able to manage its own passwords.

Unfortunately, Firefox can't be trusted with passwords (its password store is secured by your password, which Mozilla can snarf if they wish, or are compelled to do).

I don't normally use a password manager on Android, but when I do I use the clipboard, because I have very very few apps installed, and I mostly trust them. But I'm not happy about it.
I hope you were handsomely rewarded for saving the company tens of thousands of dollars, if not more.

1) Offer a premium Ad Free model
2) Create a Reddit Gold type of economy to open up "premium features" ... e.g. Unfollow Tools and/or deeper analytics - this would tie into the Ad Free model
3) Allow for the creation of Groups.
4) Make Video more of a top-tier content experience, not some side-bar hand-wavy experiment (at the same level as Moments). The next Twitch could be Twitter-based. The community is already there. (note: expensive, but potentially very lucrative CPMs)
My greatest problem with twitter is that those whose who have something worth saying tend to talk an awful lot less than those with nothing to say.

I want twitter to be a feed of thoughts an opinions from people I respect, or important updates from companies I'm interested in.

I see a secondary value from twitter by people contributing to a conversation around an event, be that a sports game, a site outage, a traffic jam or an unfolding natural disaster.

Filtering out / systemically discouragingly a lot of the countless low-value/self promotional posts alongside a better hashtag (channel) view would be a great start.
I'm a polyglot programmer and operating system user. Servers are mostly Linux, some real hardware, some virtual, doesn't matter. Desktops are Windows or Linux, laptops OSX or Windows.

On a day to day basis I use both a 2009 13" Mac Book pro and a 2015 Mac Book Pro. However, for the prior 4 years I used a Dell XPS Windows 7 laptop.

The primary primary reason for using the Mac on a day to day basis is system stability and responsiveness. The Mac just works. It always fires up. It is highly responsive to my needs which are Web, Terminal (server admin), and general office applications.

The Windows laptop, on the other hand, left me with little confidence from day to day. Most days it would operate fine, then one day it would blue screen or simply become unresponsive requiring a physical restart. Certainly all kinds of tweaks were done over time to fix one thing or another related to some application setting somewhere deep in the registry.

I've not tried Windows 10, but then it has no particular 10x value for me either.

Note that the 2009 MBP was upgraded in 2012 to an SSD. It is still a crispy fast system that beat the pants off of newer Dell laptops.

Just my $0.02.
Please do not get me wrong. Dwarf Fortress is a fantastic game.

The only thing I am saying is that the usability is complex with respect to what I am used to, in games.

It reminds me of using flight simulators. Many instruments and controls that you need to learn and understand.
Definitely not for full automation. The question "do I have a case?" could involve basically anything, and sounds very AI-complete to me.

Of course, discovery and a lot of the repetitive work can be automated much more easily, but that's more like keeping the car in a highway lane, which we can already do for cars.
I think it's kind of a spectrum of emergent gameplay. There are games with more than that than others, depending on how detached your commands are from the actual action that is taken.
> Aggressive censorship of alternative opinions.

I feel like you're probably including instances of harassment here, which is generally unfair.
If the bridge/proxy scrubbed the protocol, it could be opt in on the platforms that Rust supports. Unsupported platforms of course would still be vulnerable. But security isn't all or nothing. It really is too bad that the C backend to LLVM fell into disrepair, it would be so useful.

I see this pattern where an Open Source project supports so many platforms and old versions of operating systems that security bugs become pervasive for a variety of reasons, 1) no knowledge of old platform, 2) hard for new devs to test 3) piles of ifdefs make code complex, filled with magic. There are probably at most handfuls of users on those niche platforms.

Maybe it would be nice to freeze a build environment in a container, snapshot the repo and make a legacy source archive should someone want to support Beos or OpenVMS in the future.
I would guess that .NET is more optimised on Azure, whereas PHP is not. So you're comparing an optimised installation of .NET against an unoptimised installation of PHP. In general, a benchmark saying "compares various metrics" is pretty meaningless.
I only have experience with VA Smalltalk and VA Java. I used their WebSphere suite of products years later.

> I've tried something from VisualAge at that time and it was a pure catastrophe. My conclusion was that it was bought only by the enterprises who decided to force their developers to "use IBM" no matter what.

On the contrary, VAS and VAJ was one of the most non-IBM-like products, compared to say Rational Rose or Eclipse (ironically, Eclipse was supposed to be a descendent of VAJ) or WSAD which is built on it.

> Maybe VAJava was different?

VAJ is basically the Java language bolted on the Smalltalk paradigm - code browsers, workspace, method-level versioning, etc. Smalltalk is an acquired taste, so I can see how VAJ can be a turn off for some.

> it was a pure catastrophe.

Do you remember why it felt that way?
I think it's part of the package.

Name me anything that is perfect without flaws and still useful? Water is great to drink yet it gets you wet and drowns you if you breath it. Fire is lovely and warm and cooks our food but burns and melts our flesh if we play in it. Lids keep felt tip pens wet, and choke our children. Fish are pretty and taste nice but occasionally swallow fisherdwarves. The internet is great and connects us but causes divide by mixing people who were better separated.

There is a great and popular game called Rimworld[http://store.steampowered.com/app/294100/] that does this. It's a colony management game where the default mode is colonists acting according to priorities and rules you set. You can override if you want but you quickly realize this is only for rare situations. It's really a fun game and a much easier learning curve than Dwarf Fortress.
Get rid of censorship. They had a good idea with live streaming video and whatnot, but they're beat to everything by Instagram and Snapchat.

As it stands now, I deleted Twitter simply because it's nothing but corporate accounts, overly aggressive SJWs posturing over every damn thing, and the only content I actually cared about was reposted from Instagram (apart from a few people I know who live streamed, but have since switched platforms). So now I only use Instagram.
I think the person making that comment is confused about how this works. The bug was filed in November. The deadline passed before the comment was made.

A good read but I doubt one of his assumptions:

"you can’t be good doing things you do not love"

I believe you can be very competent at doing things you tolerate. It's time to dispel the notion passion == quality of work.
I think you have cause and effect reversed. The regulation came in as the network experienced serious problems with the reliability of transactions. Which tracks with history of money and market economies.

No. It was 90 days from the time the bug was filed to the time it automatically disclosed. There was no additional 14-day period (for whatever reason).

IMO, the problem is much worse than that. There are trillions of dollars in assets "on the books" that are currently priced into existing markets and corporate valuations. Everyone who is invested in these firms stands to lose a ton of money if humanity can manage to keep it in the ground.

Is that 35h with lunch, or without lunch? Different countries measure it differently.

e.g. I believe my contract says I have a 35h work week, but that doesn't include an hour a day for a lunch break. But I believe the US measurement does include the lunchbreak, which makes my 35h work week the same as the US 40h work week.

An elected government, at least i theory, is tasked with doing good by its people. That isnt always true, but at least there are elections. An individual person suffers no such limitation. That can act purely in thier own interest without even a tueoretical check.

The languages have advanced in so many directions, I just took a look at old foxpro code and it was damn ugly, all caps and ENDIF ENDFOR everywhere. That's ugliness if I've seen it.

Now tools, they were unbeatable in their simplicity and effectiveness as you say. A data browser is the most powerful UI and the ability to connect it with a data source by its cursor name can't get any simpler. Try doing that even in Swift and it is a rain dance of sorcery to make it work.

A data source to a report, bam! As simple as that. A data source to a table, bam! to a form, bam! to any UI control, bam! That was productivity if I've ever seen it.
Anyone seen anything similar on Roboform? Been using them for years but I wonder how much vulnerability testing it has gotten.
