There's still an option for a chronological timeline. https://twitter.com/settings/account#personalize_timeline and uncheck "Show best tweets first". It will still inject a block called "In case you missed it" from time to time but you can dismiss it.

Mastodon... it's a platform, not a single entity that I can use.

That might be the tradeoff that has to be made. Pick a Mastodon instance whose administration you trust not to screw you over. If they do you can move to another. If you go with a single entity, you're going to be stuck when they mess with you. Like with Twitter.
>the actual number of people attempting to zero the amount of oil they use? Much lower than claimed concern.

How do you know how many there are? Anyone doing that couldn't travel except by foot, buy any commercial products or use any available communication services.

edit - alternatively, there are loads of people attempting to zero the amount of oil they use. They are just using oil to get there.

I never consented to being tracked, and it provides me no benefits whatsoever. The number of times I’ve made a purchase based on internet advertising can be counted on one hand—probably on a hand without any fingers.

I don’t give a damn if stripping garbage out of urls makes it harder for a company to track me. Why should I?

since machines are pretty far from doing any kind of "coding" today

The first attempt at a system to turn plain English that even managers could write into executable code was 1959 - COBOL. So you're right in a sense, even 59 years later - but also wrong if you think networks are any more advanced than this. The Internet really cannot "reshape itself" and probably never will be able to.

I am curious if this will end with a "bubble-burst" or a slow burn like twitter has experienced. Surely the money has to dry up sometime? It is too bad that none of these companies create any kind of net good for society like a startup that pays you over minimum wage to clean up a park or sort recycling.

If one used a Lisp system at MIT in the 80s, probably.

The typical Lisp Machine at MIT was networked and shared file servers (also from other types of machines). When one uses a Lisp Machine on the network, one uses a name server (not DNS or NIS, which did not exist at that time) which define one or more sites. The site information in the name server provides information about machines, services, users, printers etc. In the 80s the MIT network was already vast with hundreds of machines. It was basically similar to what Unix system did with mounted NFS volumes, but here built into the Lisp system. This was before TCP/IP, when Lisp Machines used the CHAOS protocol for networking.

Now when one wanted to load some software into a Lisp Machine, one uses a command like 'Load System FOO', where FOO is the name of the system. The Lisp Machine shares with other machines a central registry for system names, which then point to a location in the file system. So this would find the system definition, load it and then load the system components. One could also ask it to load a specific version or load a specific patch level - or just the newest version. A system could also have other files like documentation, C files, etc.. There was also a way to write those to tape or an archive format and transfer it that way.

Thus that was a networked repository for libraries and applications. Some of those libraries were shared across different machine types and Lisp dialects. For example the LOOP feature was a library sharing source code with Maclisp, Zetalisp, NIL, etc. So you could load this from a central location into different Lisp systems - not just Lisp Machines.
So wait, if I live in a city with a very busy port, and things happening at that port lead to damage to my health, do I really have no choice but to live with it or move away? I can't vote for policies restricting the damaging things the port is doing?

Is there a more local equivalent of the EPA? One that could legally have teeth without being swatted down by the Supreme Court?

I think it comes down to the difference between eye lines and distance more than anything like the camera's placement above or below the screen. With a laptop any location the difference between looking at screen and camera is pretty drastic because it's pretty close to the user. In a conference room people are generally much farther away and smaller so it's harder to see the difference between looking at the screen and the camera.
>Most of the things that crypto proponents tout as features (transaction irreverisibility, lack of inflation, etc.) are in fact bugs, and they just don't realize it because they don't realize how finance and economics actually work.

been a freelance for 7 years now. here are a few tips :

first, get yourself a skill that's "hot" in the industry . Looking how hard people in your company have it trying to recruit for some job might give you a clue.

try to do week end missions by helping friends out or people you know ( try to have people pay for it, even if it's symbolic, to get the feel of what it's like to have customer yourself) that'll help you grow your network.

save some cash (enough to live for 6 months), because you may need it when you begin.

never be in bad term with previous employer. it may become your client one day.

spread the word that you're considering becoming a freelance. people may come back at you with their projects and this way you'll start with something to do immediately.
The SEC has missed the point entirely.

Savvy investors want proof that the ICO organizer is running a scam, and that it has legs. The SEC has merely created a playbook, not a fraud deterrent.

The ICO scam is a genre of investor literature. As such certain obligatory signs and conventions will be present:

- the countdown (made its first big appearance with the Ethereum crowdsale)

- use of the term "blockchain technology" in the opening paragraph

- combining "blockchain technology" with a secondary domain (e.g. Travel)

- the more non-obvious the match between "blockchain technology" and the secondary domain, the better

- focus on benefits, not features

- describe a problem everyone recognizes (travel is expensive)

- state the size of the market for solutions ($1.5 trillion)

- management team headshots

- appeal to authority/celebrity

- ROI forecast

- a whitepaper that carefully avoids revealing how the token fulfills the promises made in the marketing material

Ticking all the boxes lets the ICO operator reassure the prospective investor that all steps have been taken to ensure future buyers of the token.

Think of it as proof-of-future-bagholder (PoFB). A rinky-dink ICO that can't bring itself to lay the fertilizer sufficiently high will be in no position to keep investors coming in after the crowdsale ends.
US senate vote restore net neutrality
I sort of agree but a good sysadmin was never idle on the inside. I'm seeing good devops people getting worked well beyond what I'd consider reasonable expectations i.e. "Oh, look, you can do everything! Here's everything!".

They're being perverted into a role having a full load of pure operations with shit for processes (and, often, systems) and an expectation that you have time to automate and shore up all the shit and technical debt accumulated since.

Can most good or even extraordinary developers simultaneously be elbow deep on a dozen unrelated products and actually get reasonable traction? I can barely keep one glass castle together, myself.
Thanks for node-fibers, that is something I missed and it looks promising, should try it server-side at least. But I'm not sure what you mean by "reflect on module exports", since there seems to be no way to enumerate all functions (in node), except those exported by hand. I workarounded it via "autoexport(module, x => eval(x))" and "// @export" tags, but it feels dirty.

I also bet that I couldn't make 'in' work for proxy with empty abstract target, but maybe it's just me. Btw, 'in' and 'of' are two separate iterators, one iterates array elems and the other iterates object's keys -- something essential to metaprogramming. My whole point on in/enumerate is that it considered legacy by someone special.

And on Vue: I didn't know that, but if Vue can't take advantage of Proxy, can I?
They are both lies, but they are different since they aren't equal violation of the social contract. When an interviewer wants to know my biggest weakness, they don't actually want to know my biggest weakness, they want to know how I handle answering a political question where too much honesty is a bad thing. They want me to lie, but only so much. Saying something like 'I work too hard' is too big a lie. Bringing up something that is a real but minor workplace weakness and what I do to avoid it is the lie they want, and bringing up a real weakness is being too truthful.

But when I say I worked at $place and did $thing with $technology, they want to me to mostly truthful. They understand there is some embellishing or generalizing, but an outright falsehood is a major violation of expectations.

HR speak is about giving the desired answer, regardless if it is true, mostly true, or a straight up lie. In some way it is seen as an justifiable reason to lie where as most other lying is not considered justifiable.
As a "young" (30) sysadmin/devops dude I think that open, Unixy system is Kubernetes. I can take an application, dockerize it, write a helm chart and run it anywhere.

The risk is in treating anything as a black box, whether its a managed service or a container you pull from Dockerhub. It's something you'll get burned by eventually and need to learn from experience.

There're a lot of tools which can help you manage project data and time spent on them. Jira, Trello, Asana, Todoist and so on. Each of them has its own pros and cons. I could try to advice something more concrete if I knew your goals and preferences. Do you work in a team or on your own? Are you working remotely? How big is your team if you have any? What type of projects do you have?

What about our team, we are working remotely and use (and work on) Riter: https://riter.co/. It allows to manage the whole company with all its projects, teams and customers. The main features are:

- task management and sprint planning (todos, tags, task states);

- time estimation and tracking;

- collaboration (comments, file sharing, assignment, access control);

- project statistics (time spent, activity, performance, etc.);

- groups of projects (combine several projects into temporary groups for simultaneous work).
I don't "owe" a business I interact with "clean" data on how well their marketing campaigns are working.

The extent of my obligation to J. Random Web Business, vis à vis my interactions with them, is to give them their asking price in exchange for their product or service offerings which I consume.
What if Twitterific and Tweetbot just default to posting to both platforms, users could turn it off, to kind of dark pattern posts onto Mastadon or another alternative.
It happens with all these companies, you just don't hear about it because they aren't companies that those that work in the mainstream media love to hate. Neither of those two companies generate nearly as many pageviews as Uber because Uber touches an order of magnitude more lives.
For example, it’s illegal not to rent to single moms. But maybe you don’t want to. So you can look through the tenants looking for a place and hand pick one before advertising your place.

Or maybe you don’t like gay folks, or black folks, etc.
I'm just coming out of my twenties, and have also suffered from some bad depression throughout, so I guess I might be able to offer some perspective.

First, mid-twenties are hard for lots of people. I kinda hated the last five years or so of my life. It's chaos, and most of the choices of post-Uni adulthood are shit.

However, there are some upsides. First, you have some time. Nobody is going to grudge you teaching people how to ski. You wouldn't be throwing anything away by doing that. It's actually a better idea than going into a job you're gonna hate, and not going to engage in.

That said, the 9-to-5 is also pretty nice. My feeling is a lot of what makes the mid-twenties horrible is a combination of stress, signifigant choices, and chaotic living situations. Sometimes when you have a 9-to-5, it's just the kind of steady, boring bread that you can build a fulfilling life around. You know, get kids and a wife, take up making model planes as a hobby. Go skiing. Read some good books.
Well, teach your sysadmin to use the system configuration tester when they edit a system configuration file.

Nothing to do with ansible really, except that ansible allows to prevent that easily.
You can let the new employer know that you didn’t feel comfortable with the previous manager.
And if he asks for the reason you can explain why.
It happened to me in the past.
Remote work and working remotely are two very different things. The former usually refers to making your own arrangements for normal working hours outside of commuting to a corporate office; the latter usually refers to off-hours or one-off arrangements.

IBM may not want people remote working, but they'll be happy to have people working remotely at nights, on weekends, etc.
Interesting but seems kind of late, no? Even the US State Department has banned USB drives since at least 2008. I don't think US government is particularly well known for being good at security.
It is c++. The file is .c but whatever. They use a lot of c++.

I agree with you however. Having worked with the code gnu relies a lot on macros & a lot of auto generated code. The code is a big mess, imposible to tackle if you dont spend a huge amount of time on it.

A lot of symbols are generated through #defines and pastting (X macros) so you cant grep shit for one.

You are lucky, because if I ran that company I'd haul your ass in court so quick you wouldn't know what hit you.

The fact that you can doesn't give you a right to do so and in this case it is pretty clear that you would be acting maliciously.

I've seen such 'tricks' up close a couple of times and judges tend to take a very dim view of this kind of behavior.
It's often true that you're not gonna need fun, but that's not really the relevant metric.

That is, not every bit of software is created for business purposes, or with good software engineering principles, or anything else. Sometimes, you do things just because you can. Some might even call this "the hacker spirit".
Well thank you senate. Looks like att needs more than a 600k trump bribe to Cohen. I'm sure their lobbyists are going to be shooting money guns at the house republicans for the next month.
Except that someone working remotely will usually have to absorb additiona costs of:

- Internet
- Electricity, water and other utilities
- Office maintenance (i.e., how much of his home space is being used by the company? including surface, desks, equipment, etc)
- Sometimes food

In Mexico all this toghether can get to up to $500 USD a month per person. Can't imagine how much that would be in the USA.
thank goodness so many people are smarter than those darn goofy VCs. Businesses competing for customers! It's flagrant hubris. Those Silicon Valley guys who became billionaires doing this still have no idea what they are doing. I am pretty sure they have a big comeuppance due to them.
I love SaltStack, its more of a python framework for managing systems over ZeroMQ than it is pure configuration management. Compared to Ansible it's more complex but faster, reactive, and significantly more flexible. I'd highly recommend it over Ansible for larger environments. For smaller ones, it depends on if the steeper learning curve is worth it.
I enjoy reading libraries like this because git is seemingly ubiquitous. It’s used more than any project I will ever make. And although I know C and C++, it’s source is kinda hard to approach.

Js on the other hand is not for me so I can get a better sense about how it is that git works. I want to see how these fundamental tools are written so I enjoy these ports (even if they’re not perfect).

Perhaps this is a superficial comparison, but to me it's odd about the approval difficulty of phages considering that vaccines like the annual flu vaccine also rely on assembling new recombinations of flu strains every year too.

In general why do vaccines seem to be allowed approval to target specific strains only, but antibiotics need to be general purpose as implied by the article?

I think it's important to notice that if we're using the metric of "300,000x" increase in computing power applied to ML models, the giant increase has mostly been due to parallel computing playing catchup on decades of moores law all at once. It will hit a wall and die with moores law fairly soon. Physics requires it.

Security vendors need to stop doing more harm than good
Agreed - this doesn't seem like that big a step at all from a security perspective. The main change is that it will now force a bunch of folks to think about how they manage their data and their consulting teams especially will get annoyed with how "hard" it is to transfer that powerpoint deck for their presentation.

Leaving data lying around on a stick is one vector. Malware and other considerations is quite another that should be discussed more often. Especially if your posture is jelly-filled.

I'm guessing they got burned here at least once with a relatively large dataset that somebody left in a cafe somewhere.
My model actually provides both an upper bound and a lower bound current-day figure (explained in http://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-electricity-consumption/) 0.50% is not predicted by my model, but it's just a target that seems plausible if the current growth stays the same.
With the craziness of Js build tools and build configurations, I love seeing how different project stuff use it. I like how they use both webpack and rollup and even name the rollup export as “for-future”.

I write a lot of isomorphic libraries for work and it’s not as easy as one might think it is.

I love the conclusion of this article. As someone who has participated in the online "deals" community for 10+ years, I have definitely benefitted from many of the opportunities.

However, I do spend a considerable amount of time wondering what will happen when this house of cards comes falling down.

But you know, I think that for every one person like me taking advantage of these "arbitrage" scenarios, there are like 10 people paying full price. They keep this economy going.
The other thing you can do is reward the companies that lead on these issues with your business so you encourage others to do the same.

It's carrots and sticks. If a company doesn't do what you want, try sticks (punish them for not doing what you want) and carrots (reward those that do so others see that they should do the same).
