I think of Twitter as a personal subreddit where only people I care about submit the links or self.submissions.

Subreddits are fine but they are also sometimes fraught with a subreddit specific bias that might be seriously off-putting.

They have thousands of object types.

I don't know what format they serialize to; native object, XML, json...

But here is an example tool that can do migrations via XML serialized data for Java. As an intermediary step in the XML serialization they create a document of XML that simply contains a version attribute alongside the schema. A similar approach would work for other serialization formats (json, native, etc).

I'll bet they use something like Across internally:

Because I don't have utter contempt for the users of my software and a little bit of once off pain for me (like fiddling with click once deployments) is worth if it the product is better for 1000 people that use it everyday.

It's simply a matter of what those variables are. A sick leave application form that get's used a few times a year? Stick that on the web, the installation cost isn't worth it. A productivity tool that's used all day, every day by a lot of people? Make that a desktop application, especially if you need local resources, like files. An application used by millions world wide everyday? Write that in a natively compiled language and use the native (or decent cross platform) UI, there's no reason your productivity is more important than the millions of users.

You're right. I missed a great deal of context there, as I was thinking about the most familiar cases to me, where either (a) you're an endurance athlete whose interest is largely maintaining a huge cardio base (see the Mark Twight piece in the sibling comment) or (b) you're getting a ton of 'intermittent' work from your sport, like you say.

Mentally I somehow but that kind of skill work in a different category from "interval" training but that's probably because I've never done an sport like sprinting or short-distance rowing/swimming/etc. Skill training for tennis or boxing or judo or BJJ or whatever doesn't feel like interval training even if it is intermittent and anaerobic... even when the round timer goes off at regular intervals in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio.
And the vast majority of websites never get 5000 concurrent users either. Your planned load obviously dictates the language as much as anything else.
I've always disliked Twitter but it does fill a very useful niche. News and sentiment will always bubble up first on Twitter. I think the potential of Twitter as a real-time stream of world events is, to this point, really untapped.

I have found this website very helpful in the past few years when researching government financial info: http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/total_spending_chart

I reached out to the website developer/maintainer/creator, Chris Chantrill, telling him I appreciated his work on the site and asking if he needed help (seems like a 1 man operation?) - here's how he responded:

Thanks! I started the site in 2007 when "I couldn't take it any more." Since then it has just growed.

Here's how you can help. Suggest a feature.

Best wishes,

Chris' site provides unbiased commentary on the importance/relevance of certain measurements, and gives access to download data. It could use a bit of a UX/UI overhaul but it's an amazing feat for a one-man operation to track and present all these different sources of gov data.

But the users would need incentive to contribute their streams. You have to put the two pieces together.

If Twitter accepts the role as a news outlet, they're still in an awkward position. Conventional news networks are already grasping to maintain relevance in a world increasingly self-connected. If Twitter overtly embraced that as its primary value proposition, all of its support from media companies, which are really what propped it up IMO, would vanish overnight.

I use Twitter mainly for the news, since Twitter enables me to get a much more complete picture of events compared to traditional media. But it took me a long time to really grasp that I could use Twitter in this way. Initially I just followed some work colleagues when I had to create a Twitter account as employee of a company I worked at. Otherwise I would have probably never created a Twitter account as I just didn't see the purpose.

I think one of the biggest challenges for Twitter is on-boarding new users.

With regards to the platform itself: it would be nice if Twitter would had some sort of article quoting mechanism. It's not uncommon to see a Tweet with text from an online article included as a picture. I also do this myself sometimes, since it seems to me people are more eager to click a link if they get a much better grasp the linked content and 140 characters is just too little for this purpose.
I'd love to see the same thing done with the health care industry. I have a pet hypothesis that the financial complexity of the industry is one of the barriers to reducing costs: Nobody knows what's being spent on what, and to whom. Everybody can claim that somebody else is gouging us.

Yeah, I've never really gotten this. Companies have this impulse to treat social media pages as expedited call centers. That's bad for everyone; it's annoying to have to air your problem publicly and deal with a social media manager, and it reflects badly on brands to see complaint after complaint. This behavior only could've emerged because they indulged it. I'm not sure what PR training course advised doing this instead of sending a message that support requests go through channel X and then deleting the complaint/message/request.
Australia to abolish 457 work visas
YMMV, but personally, after a startup experience that was tough both emotionally and financially, I got a stable job and have promised not to do that again unless or until I can save up at least $300k on top of retirement savings. Basically, about two years worth of expenses plus some buffer.
Oh I thought we were having an interesting discussion about the linguistic mapping between probability and regular English. Sorry for wasting your time. :(
I think that's largely a cultural issue though. We've trained people to believe in this extreme form of specialisation. They don't even expect to take on responsibility any more because they believe that this is solely the domain of management, owners and so on.

It's probably going to take some effort if we want to bring the idea back that employees should have a say in the direction and leadership of a business.
This is probably one of those things that varies a lot based on what your field is and how close to academia you stay while in industry. It's going to be a lot harder to come back to doing experimental physics if you spent 5 years as a software engineer.

“Australians First”: Australia abolishing 457 temporary skilled worker visa
This paper is an empirical analysis. The Monero reports introduced a theoretical attack with conditions, e.g. “a critical loss in untraceability across the whole network if parameters are poorly chosen and if an attacker owns a sufficient percentage of the network.”
The news is that our research confirms, for the first time, that this is actually the case, and it affects actual transactions.
It's welfare.
I hope someone actually reads the original Monero Research Lab papers and sees that those papers briefly allude to there being a problem and dismiss it as being a theoretical problem when at the time of the report peoples drugs purchases could and can still be traced. This is an empirical analysis - the first of it's kind with a block explorer, the Monero people should be on their knees thanking the authors of the paper. Instead they are burying their heads in the sand, refusing to admit that they lied when they claimed back in 2015/16 that their currency was untraceable. I'm disgusted to see the flagrant doublethink in the comments here, most people haven't even bothered to read the paper or the MRL reports and are just spouting garbage they've heard via fluffyass.

For international readers, the 457 is quite similar to the h1b visa and suffers many of the same abuses. More abuses actually, there are "customer service managers" waiting tables and other entry level workers that are on this "skilled" visa.

As I recall the M$ came about around the time when Microsoft engaged in rather questionable business tactics. They were the largest IT company and still played super hard ball. They deliberately did "embrace, extend and extinguish" various software/protocols to create lock-in to their own proprietary technologies (IE55/HTML. Kerberos/LDAP, AOL/IM) to further their market dominance.

At the time, the M$ acronym was IMO well earned. These days it appears to be different. Microsoft still has a large dominance on the desktop, but appears to not be playing quite as hard ball anymore. Stuff like NodeJS on Azure and VSCode would simply not have happened in the early 2000. Whether they actually changed, time will tell.

As for other companies deserving a derogatory acronym, I think you can measure these companies with:

1) How much do they actually subvert/interfere with standards and other companies inventions to gain/maintain their market dominance?

2) Do they at all innovate to deserve their market position and/or give back?

Without much analysis, I think Adobe may actually deserve an Adob$. Here you have a company that still almost every year change their proprietary binary formats (.PSD, .AI, etc) forcing an entire creative industry to spend a lot on software that have largely not had any significant innovation for the last 10-15 years (the functions in Photoshop/Illustrator have more or less remained the same).

And it is the same lock-in as Microsoft Office has/had, because even if you decide to operate your creative business using only alternative software, your clients and suppliers won't.

I actually don't even know how to see replies on someone else's thread. The UI is quite confusing TBH.

> A social network needs to be social, feel social, and make you feel like you have friends who want to listen to your drivel on it.

Completely agree. I see people I follow reply to each other, but when I comment on theirs, they don't. They aren't even celebrity, just engineers from various tech companies. I feel like all I can do is either retweet or like. I feel cold. I go on FB, comment, I usually get more replies from strangers I don't know but care enough to comment.

This is sad.
Realistically? National security.

I know that sounds like a cop-out but if you think about it, it makes sense that the government has to classify some things.

The question is where does the line get drawn. I agree it's too far to one side right now but the extreme you suggest is far far on the other extreme.
All the departures can't help but make you wonder what is up.

Something Scott McNealy told me about becoming a senior leader is this, "The higher you are in the company the more easily something you have no control over can get you fired." It isn't exactly intuitive but it builds on the notion of leadership that doesn't like the situation and wants to do something.

I think Uber is navigating a really difficult time, some of the challenges are their own fault, some are situational, but the turmoil in the stories almost palpable. While it might be tempting for someone to leave thinking the ship is sinking, it could also be pretty powerful to be part of the leadership team that navigated through that time.

Strangely, it appears the main reason this was not elevated to felony assault is because the DA in St Clara County avoided that because it could lead to deportation which the DA prefers to avoid, "Fein indicated that his boss, Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen, seeks to avoid such deportations".

More likely a Harvard machine, i.e. one where the instruction memory is distinct from the data memory.

It is essentially what modern cores have with a their split caches, except those things are called "caches" because the architecture then has a lot of machinery for pretending to be a von Neumann Machine with a huge memory. This pretending is done because that's the kind of machine that software expects.

But the first unices ran on machines with memories only as big as a modern L1-cache. Moreover, networking and parallelism are everyday issues for software now. It will be interesting to see if software evolves to explicitly recognise that it is really running on a network of small machines + a hierarchy of big external storage devices, of which DRAM is just one.

I agree with you. Twitter's route may not have been successful but "continue to give everything away for free and keep crossing our fingers" is not really a better strategy. And I agree that there is no way an uncurated stream from nearly-anonymous sources like Twitter can replace relevant news hand-picked by experts (Bloomberg), though that stream could be used as part of the feed that the humans review.

I think Twitter has two real value propositions: one, they are a great way for people with a following to broadcast messages. Two, they are a great way for people to engage with others whom they admire, because they seriously mitigate the problem of fan interaction for anyone with a following. People get Twitter accounts because they believe that when they tweet someone, that person sees it, and may respond to it. For example, @pmarca replied to a tweet I sent.

You'll notice that both of these benefits center on broadcasters and not nobodies. Twitter got confused and thought the nobodies were the drivers of value, whereas it's really having broadcasters that nobodies a) want to hear from and b) want to have a hope in engaging with.

Maybe there's an alternate universe where Twitter was offered as niche software to publicists at ungodly annual sums, and the general public was invited in to participate, witness, and grovel freely.
But how do you manage deployment of a new version? That's where the web comes into its own.
