You are right, but that should be taken with a grain of salt.

Most preindustrial work was agricultural, and therefore heavily tied to the seasonal cycles of the year. While your comment is factually correct, it conveys the wrong image to the listener. The first thing modern people with white collar lifestyles will think when they hear "average 6 hrs per day" is some sort of utopia where they go to their jobs one hour later and leave one hour earlier.

The experience of those preindustrial laborers would have been closer to being employed in a sweatshop, working 70+hrs per week for 5 months; then being unemployed for the rest of the year. During those lean times, they would split their time between small DIY home improvement projects, unpaid civic duty activities, maybe working small one-off jigs for wealthier neighbours, drinking cheap ale, and in general worring about running out of food before the sweatshops open up again next year.

> 1. Remove post length limit

That post length limit is what made Twitter interesting for me. This is being identified as a problem, however there's always Facebook and Google+ that don't have a limit. Twitter will not succeed by copying competitors.

> 2. Limit the number of tweets per day instead. 3. You can pay to remove the above limit.

People will never pay for removing such limits. They'll simply switch service once it gets annoying enough. This is the flaw in the logic of people that are anti ads as a business model. Basically people will not pay up unless there's scarcity and artificial scarcity doesn't really work.

Such a strategy would also be really unwise, because from my own observations, a majority of Twitter users are fairly silent, being content consumers rather than producers. So alienating those users that produce content for you is not the best strategy.

More or less that, yes.

To make large buildings in distant places you would build roads, then work crew related buildings, then whatever you wanted, including the needed housing for the new city area you ended creating in the process.

Another interesting game is knights and merchants, armies are under your direct control but require supplies, that need to be physically carted off to them, so you needed to either use hit and run tactics, or build infrastructure near the frontlines. Also traffic in that game can literally kill you, as your badly designed city becomes so inefficient that people die of starvation.

In terms of "should one be able to use it," no, it doesn't matter whether I like it or not. A developer who works on the web needs to know JS. That doesn't mean newbie who doesn't know what they want or anything much about development needs to know it, and certainly not that they need to start with it.

It's not a "purity" point of view, it's an "ease of use for the purpose" point of view. JavaScript does weird things that stymie experienced devs - a newbie hitting them will be completely lost. What's worse, as I said, is that it does these things because it's poorly designed/its design doesn't adequately cover all the edge cases it should, so newbies will learn the wrong information about why things do or don't happen.

The edge cases are not easily avoided because you don't know what a beginner will or won't try to do when working on their own. That means that not only might they do an okay thing in most languages that doesn't work in JS, but that they may also do something BAD that DOES work in JS, because JS is weird. For instance, the way JS handles variable hoisting and scoping is bonkers compared to most other languages - not stuff you can avoid while learning to program, and making it easy to learn the wrong practice as a result.

"80% of everything is crap" is a good thing to know when doing development work, but it isn't helpful when learning. The goal of learning in this context is mastery of the basics of development; 80% won't be good enough.
Yep, I meant that such regional variations mean that we have even more to learn about English numbers and make them even trickier!

I'm not sure how you define threaten, but I think that firing missiles over the island during election season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Taiwan_Strait_Crisis) definitely counts as a threatening act. China has made so many threats about taking back Taiwan by force that I don't know how anybody could miss it. It's one thing to think that ROC is part of PRC (it's not), but it's another level of stubbornness to think that Taiwan is not threatened by Mainland China.

Other than some small optimizations (When I reply to my own tweets, it should be visible without a page refresh), I would change nothing.

Granted, I am answering a different question: from the CEOs perspective, they _need_ to do something because they aren't growing fast enough.

But as a user, Twitter is more enjoyable when it's niche. I have a circle of developers that share their projects and thoughts on software dev, and it's delightful.

Someone else said that it's a great resource for the medical community, I know that the hiphop scene is big on twitter, there's whatever the hell Weird Twitter is...

Twitter makes more sense as a series of specialized clusters based around specific communities, not as a Facebook where it's everything for everyone.
Not relevant at all.

It was just shoehorned.

The crux of a project such as this is maintaining a connection pool and managing it efficiently.

Also respecting robots.txt which the author barely mentions.

This is a "tool looking for a problem" kind of post.
Aha! Yeah, that makes sense. It descends from a use case a consulting client had a while ago (for which they ended up with a $X0,000 Salesforce deployment instead of something I could build in an afternoon with Anvil, and in a few days without it). Clearly not an obviously accessible example - we'll fix that up a little :)

We're on AWS GovCloud and our S3 is all good. GovCloud is its own region.
I think that Twitter and Facebook have similar problems - the choices that users make tend to ruin the experience for those users. People choose to follow (and continue following) folks who clutter up the feed.
Twitter is anything but a community. It's a platform with a multitude of communities and individuals, many with conflicting goals.
1. Customer Service - Provide enterprise solutions for customer service and charge $$$ per transaction. The live nature of this would prove a lot of value for feedback mechanisms for enterprise when they go through their change management.

2. Live Interaction with Events, Games, Television, Radio etc. e.g. Polls, QnA, Sentiment etc.

3. Open Access to Developers to build Apps on real-time content.

4. Enable fact-check score methodologies on every tweets. Don't completely wipe out the trolls. As weird as it may sound - trolls make twitter interesting.

5. The Ultimate messaging platform that replaces SMS/Texts with an identity that is not numbers.

Context Managers and the “with” Statement in Python
"Over 100" sounds like an incredibly small number. I'm guessing most people could just buy the ones they like used for less than a few months of the subscription. Although, the concept of "used" is a bit insane when the disc is little more than a key to get to the current version of the game that just gets downloaded.
Allow private tweet capabilities and charge for it. This is really all you can do. Twitter is largely a broadcast system and echo chamber, which perfectly explains the type of people who gravitate to it most directly.
I use Celery inside Docker, mostly for the lazy-ops advantages; makes it very simple to bring up new pools of Celery workers, shut them all down, and mix projects on the same host to maximize its utilization.

Generally I'm getting fond of containers as a mechanism to encapsulate deployments e.g. in Python which have a lot requirements and which I've found finicky to make portable.

Full disclosure: I do something even worse, have containers which pull updates when I like with deploy keys, and run Celery etc in a virtualenv in the container... :P

The latter feels truly shameful but it does make it easy to keep the project contained even when running outside a container...

What the public is thinking is useful for politicians who need to choose which lies to tell during a campaign in order to gather the most votes. Or for a marketing person in need to alter their approach for maximum ROI. That's about it.

If we switch to entrepreneurship for a moment, here's another case where public opinion is of little use: The crowds don't know what they want next. How many people wanted Instagram before it existed? Or Facebook? Amazon? eBay? How many people know that it is critical we switch to streamlined digital medical records?

People know and form opinions based on past events. As a mass they rarely know where to go in order to solve real rather than imagined problems. This is particularly true of uncomfortable long-term planning.

Take the situation we have in the US with Welfare and Social Security. By some accounts these programs might implode in as little as 10 to 20 years. They are the elephants in the room. The federal budget reveals this fact. Yet people are focusing on nonsense every day.

The masses are not talking about this. The surveys indicate nobody thought these issues were important for decades, even today. Yet, reality, if I were a parent guiding my kids, is that this is one of the most important issues. One requiring immediate attention. It is not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of mathematical certainty.

That is true, the timeline is fragments of multiple conversations or popular statements. You are right that it is difficult to parse the feed, because your brain has to context switch between all the conversations. Whereas for instance a hacker news feed gives you exclusively top level headlines with a place to go for discussion.

I'm seeing the same error on eu-west as well.
I disagree. We are sleeping.

It's not that ordinary people don't care; it's a cost benefit problem --- the time/bullshit-costs of moving data from entrenched cloud providers is large.

The joy of hacking is that everywhere we go, we beat a path. We build good clients for bad APIs, we figure out the weird munge and consistency problems involved in data transfer, and we automate the process of managing servers. These levels of responsibility and abstraction are modern software, and the more we go there (personally and professionally), the easier it becomes for viable consumer-grade alternatives to appear.

We also set-trends more than we realize. Almost every major newspaper has a tech section, and much of that is fascination with our culture, and reflection on privacy issues.

This is on us.

> Large corporations need hordes of people doing boring work in a reliable and predictable, easily manageable manner.

That's what machines are for. We need to embrace automation.

Nope. Large corporations spend loads of money and manpower to make people think they need what they produce.

> People need the wages these corporations pay.

Not if they resist the manipulation to buy all the useless stuff. Not if automation makes everything cheaper.

On iOS, 1Password uses an app extension [0] (requires app must support extension, Safari, Chrome, Opera mini do). It uses a keyboard or accessibility service (for auto-fill) on Android so I guess Android doesn't have something equivalent to iOS app extensions. I find this odd since inter-app communication is supposed to be something Android has over iOS.

I know, but is there any proof of this? And how can we be sure that the .NET environment is better optimised than the PHP environment? I would find it weird for them to shoot themselves in the foot like that. Since if someone were to make a decent blog post that showed proof they'd only have C# programs on Azure...

This all being said they're pretty transparent with their benchmarks. They supply all the code that they've used and are even comparing it to another project which aims to do the same.

I guess I'm just a bit angry because people are just saying "It's unfair" while they can easily do the tests themselves and then call someone out for it.

I have never been a consumer of any sort of caffeine (don't like hot drinks or fizzy drinks) and I have always struggled to get to bed or to sleep before, say, 2am. I don't know whether it's genetic, though I'm not aware of any reason why it shouldn't be, but night-owl-ism is definitely not caused exclusively by caffeine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_disorder#M... seems to suggest that in extreme cases at least some of this is, in fact, genetic: it runs in families and there's a specific gene it's thought to be related to.

To clarify on #2, are you saying that Google Cloud Platform in its entirety has a 1 year deprecation policy? Or that individual products within the platform have a 1 year deprecation policy?

The pi zero was sold at a loss... It is/was a marketing manuever to absorb more of the diy iot market share; which is the reason there is a 1 per customer limit. As well as the reason microcenter requires in person purchase and not online.

Secondly the pi line, like the Arduino line, along with everything else of that nature, are 'development platforms.' You don't buy a developer kit in mass intending to resell as an end product...

The pi, Arduino, beagle, etc have an excessive number of Io pins, often a variety of sensors, multiple options for power source and corresponding voltage regulators and other features useful for development. When you take your design to market, you simply draw your own schematic/PCB layout and place an order for a board without the unused sensors, io's, regulators, etc. The schematics provided for the pi and other platforms are quite modular and easy to understand. One can simply remove all the io's, accessories from busses, regulators, clocks, and whatever else isn't required. One can then tweak the PCB layout to fit their form factor, power requirements, component tolerances and whatever else to suit their exact use case, to minimize cost.
Interesting list of tools, in that it implies browsers are the only things to be protected.
