You're absolutely correct re: the history. Twitterrific not only came up with the word "tweet," they were the first one with a blue bird logo!

Twitter basically encouraged a third-party ecosystem to blossom, then decided that rather than finding ways to monetize that ecosystem, they should start slowly strangling it to death. I can't imagine that this is happening because investors are insisting on it; yes, they want a positive return on their investment, but who's really saying, "If only you guys knife Tweetbot, the stock price will double!"? There's a very small minority of users who use third-party clients, but those users are disproportionately the highly engaged "super tweeters," if you will. Is supporting them -- ideally better than they do now -- really so expensive that it's easier to just kill them? And if the answer is yes, is it really better to keep pretending that you're not doing that, and instead just make the experience of third-party developers and dedicated Twitter users steadily worse over time?
As an amateur mechanic (mostly cars), I've found wearing medical gloves (esp. the more expensive nitrile ones) helps a lot with keeping my hands clean. They tear open on sharp stuff of course, so you'll probably have to replace them several times, but it's better than not wearing anything, and gives you more tactile sensation than the thicker "mechanic's gloves".

> I just find it strange how developer-hostile twitter is, considering the community it once fostered.

Think about the money and it's not so strange. Everyone has a price.

I'm not saying it's right, but it's not a mystery. The got big off the backs of others and they've been screwing them over ever since. People building stuff on top of Twitter are crazy. They've been developer hostile for years and years now.
You can count on bash being present on almost any Linux system, other than tiny embedded ones. You can't count on mksh being anywhere unless you install it.

"Don't ever log people out" is pretty much the credo for a lot of big things I've seen. A surprising number of folks will never manage to get logged back in. Passwords? They have no idea what they are, or how to reset them. They'll either set up a new account or churn entirely.
From what I read, she did a few blots of clothes washed with her parents' and sister's clothes that had been washed with older style washing machines, so the issue can't entirely be the new washing machines.

not really, ideas come in stages, you have intuition that something is there, realization of what it is and formalization of how it works.

once you start reflecting on the topic, your knowledge may or may not advance but the formal structure of the inquiry marks it at least as something that was studied and talked about systematically and not incidentally, so it becomes a partial view on a subject more than a unsubstantiated belief.

take gravity: even if we are way ahead of newton and galileo in terms of understanding, we'd be hard pressed at calling them fool for not understanding gravitational waves or relativity or spooky action at distance, because they started the research systematically instead of postulating that each body has a "natural place" it tends toward.
I disagree. You can still put the proper settings on the newer High Efficiency washers, at least; and they do wash clothes much better than the older models, especially deep stains, due to much better rotation on the side-loading machines. I always select the maximum possible cycle on HE washers, and was never disappointed with the results, especially compared with the older models.

As for the driers, if your coloured clothes have that whitish undertone that suggests they've been through a good drying in your drier, then I think you're doing it wrong. I was so disappointed how much my clothes would wear out in the American driers that I'd always make sure to only use them on the lowest setting possible, even for jeans and such. Definitely not missing any old non-HE driers; you're not really supposed to kill the bacteria with the heat of the drying anyways, and using hot water is much more efficient for that.
Is fujifilm really "on the way down"? They seem pretty well diversified with some good product lines. Hell, I own one of their recent cameras.

Xerox I won't argue with, but they're still not exactly on death watch. Just get the sense your comment is a little negative, like they've both obviously failed and all that is left is milking the dying husks. Fujifilm could quite likely outlast facebook. It will almost certainly outlast the likes of snapchat, IMO. Old != bad.
1. western countries developed faster and started all this mad consumption and environmental abuse. Everyone else is copying us

2. the west is in the best position to start addressing this. Better educated, more prosperous, etc.

3. Much of the waste produced in other countries is for making things to ship to the western world

Time travel is not as illogical as it might first appear. The paradox, say, of you traveling back in time to kill your father before he impregnated your mother is easily resolved -- it never happened and is never going to happen because otherwise you would not be here to do it.

Being a very literal-minded programmer type that I am, when I was young, I would always state pretty much exactly whatever was on my mind. Inevitably, somebody would ask "what do you mean by that?" I was confused by the question... I meant what I said - why would I say something other than what I meant? But over time I caught on to some unspoken, unwritten, apparently unnoticed by most social cues and rules that you're supposed to abide by, one of which is "joking around". With a lot of practice, I've actually gotten pretty good at it, even though it feels completely alien to me: while I've gotten the knack of saying what I'm trying to say without actually saying it and deciphering what other people are trying to say, I would much prefer a world where everybody just said literally what they meant. Partly because, sometimes, I completely blow it. I overlooked one of them any possible double entendres in something that I said and, _of course_, everybody just assumed that I was going for the double entendre, because that's how most people actually talk. That's what makes all of this overreaction to simple jokes so disconcerting - you HAVE to talk and act this way and "joke around" with people, or else you become Dwight from "The Office". There's no opting out, and the stakes for missing just one cue become greater with each passing day.
Article in Nature about Theranos
1. This is an on-going debate to a certain degree (I mainly have encountered it via Phillipe Ariès's Centuries of Childhood). But I have never bought the argument that childhood is a modern invention. If you actually read primary sources from the period it is abundantly clear that parents sought to protect their children, that they treated children as different from adults, and that children were expected to behave in a manner different from adults. To me, that's a childhood, albeit one that looks very different from modern norms due to the existence of widespread child labor, etc.

2. It's too strong of a claim to say that medieval or early modern warriors suffered from CTE (mostly because retroactive diagnosis has a terrible track record) but I think it's very reasonable to say that warriors of this period suffered from severe psychological and physical distress that derived directly from their training. Likewise, you're leaving out the fact that nobles hunted and rode on horseback (with no helmet!) on a daily basis and that these are exceptionally dangerous occupations by modern standards.

3. Smallpox might last a matter of weeks as an active illness. But it is permanently disfiguring. Elizabeth I is just the most well-documented of what we can imagine were literally millions of people who suffered trauma from smallpox scars. Similarly, many illnesses of the period (like malaria, polio, scrofula, etc) were chronic. As for gangrenous limbs, Henry VIII suffered from a wound (from recreational jousting no less) that ultimately killed him via a leg ulcer, but it took years of agonizing pain to do so. Maybe not gangrene, but the point remains that a world of sharp objects + no antibiotics is no fun for anyone.

4. It's very difficult for me to imagine that the pain of losing a child ever really goes away, even if you live in a world where it's commonplace. Likewise, the evidence about children not being considered "fully human" until age 1 relies on naming practices. But it ignores things like murder prosecutions for infanticide which were widespread in the period - if babies weren't considered fully human, why did courts care if they were killed? And finally, most childhood mortality occurred after age 1, regardless.

Edit: I mostly agree with your critique of the OP, by the way. But I think the fact that we agree on humans from the past being more or less like us conflicts with your points about parents in the past being relatively un-concerned about the loss of a child, etc.
"A similar model in Europe takes 4h30!"

That's not true of modern front-load washers. At my old (UK) flat we had an old Beko front-loading clunker. It worked perfectly well but was very noisy and took a long time (not 4 hours though! maybe 1.5 - 2 hours).

At my current place we have a much more modern one where a fast/economy cycle takes 36 minutes. It's nice and quiet too.
Can you expand on what you mean by that?
I don't understand why parents would let their adult children live with them for years on end. My parents made it very clear that after the age of 18, my brother and I had to make it by ourselves. Like, they'd love it if we visited, but not living with them, and I can't understand why any one would want to live with their parents. Isn't 18 years of imprisonment bad enough?

Are you working in the right part of the product life cycle?
While vaguely modern European ones generally do, American ones often don’t. I suspect this is down to the 120V power; with normal wiring you can only get about 2kW if not less, vs about 3 on a European system.
I think with SIMD type stuff and small data sets (e.g. <=16 strings), conventional big-O complexity analysis can leave a bit to be desired.

Similarly, with SIMD and small data sets, you’re going to be faster than anything involving a pointer chasing data structure. Pointers tend to mean branchy-ness; they require more backend resources; they often introduce dependencies that can inhibit out of order pipelines.

Good article, but the paragraph at the end (about the book) could apply to the article as well: "My only criticism is the book’s lack of reflection about lessons learnt from this debacle. How did a company rise to a valuation of $9 billion in a network of so many influential people"

I am reminded of what happens when you push to production, code that looks good, without testing. The particular error in the code is not really the problem; the problem is you did not have a system to highlight if things are wrong.

Sure, who could argue that bad is better than good? :)

The question is - But, Why. I'd bet half a paycheck that the only people who really really care about the new "cool" designs are (1) Bosses looking to take credit (2) Bored tech writers looking for content (3) UX Peers looking for validation (4) Tech people looking for new toys. Normal folks just want all that fancy UI stuff to go away. They would be just as productive on a UI based on Mac OS 8.

In general, groups based on men's issues tend to get labeled as misogynist. There's a few reasons for this that I can think of, one being that I do think that a lot of journalists don't seem to apply a lot of intellectual rigor to their work; any group of men is low-hanging fruit for a hit piece exposing them as women-haters who want to abolish women's rights, perpetuate rape culture, etc. Journalists with integrity usually have bigger fish to fry than groups like incels or MGTOW, or even men's rights activists for that matter.

That's why I don't trust the conclusion of the article, even if there are some nuggets of truth to it. It's pretty clear to me, based on the author's snotty attitude splattered here and there, that they aren't interested in understanding incels at all; they want a feather in their cap, and telling incels they're wrong is an excellent way to do that right now.

Secondly, each of these groups tends to have a few really outspoken advocates who hold the most low-brow opinions and ideas. I wouldn't label myself MGTOW(just so happens I don't bother with relationships these days), but I have some familiarity with MGTOW content creators and that group suffers from the problem of having one particularly misogynist advocate(namely Sandman) getting the majority of attention and search results. In reality, I've found men who call themselves MGTOW to be very diverse, most of whom do not harbor any ill-will towards women at all. A lot of MGTOW, just as with others of different male-oriented groups, don't even particularly like each other or agree on that many things. It's really a one-issue concept, but of course it wouldn't seem that way to a journalist who scans over /r/mgtow, completely discounting the fact that Reddit is generally a cesspool, and decides they've got another group they can label as alt-right nazi misogynists. I'm sure that incels suffer from much the same problem, possibly worse, because they're much angrier than MGTOWs because they still ultimately desire women and are very frustrated.

Yep, this is why we need to medically eliminate aging and achieve biological immortality. The conventional wisdom is that a society needs aging and death to eliminate old ideas and impediments to adopting new ideas and adapting to change, but this I believe is wrong. Young people fail to learn the lessons of the past because they never lived it, and so history goes in cycles; we keep making the same mistakes over and over. Eliminating this natural cycle should help society have a much longer memory, and medically fixing the problem where peoples' brains fail to be as good at learning and adapting with old age should fix the problems caused by older people being irrationally resistant to change and new ideas.

> Humans naturally gravitate towards tribalism. We're simply not capable to feel connected to every human on planet earth.

Human have lots of bad instincts - violence, war, hatred, greed, etc etc - but history shows beyond a doubt that we overcome them and it works astoundingly well. But we've overcome those things and built democracies, liberty, a world where violence and war is at historic laws, lifespans are probably double what they were for most of history, women are in the workforce, we walk on the moon, human rights and prosperity have expanded by orders of magnitude. All of that came from the embrace of universal rights and liberty.

> We're simply not capable ...

In fact, we certainly are!

The question is, why would anyone want to take away all that success and ruin it?

It is most definitely not a wise choice. Just ask yourself this question: If you _did_ get that google job you were after, would all of your problems end, would you be happy? Chances are you'll still be struggling with depressive thoughts and coming up with ways to make yourself unhappy. You've done some cool stuff already and have a resume most others would kill for, I promise (pretty much everyone coming out of bootcamps). I think you just need some professional help and someone to talk to. You are so much more than the job you have and the code you write.
Answer to What principles do economists almost universally agree on?
>Are you saying it's impossible to shut off the car while not in park?

Yes! The vehicle faithfully ignores you when you press the Start button, beeps softly, and displays a message: "SHIFT TO P POSITION."[2]

As I said, in my experience there's a ~1s delay between shifting to Park and being permitted to turn the car off. You get the same error message, but it's already in Park. The result? Performing the same sequence of actions at a different speed results in a very different outcome. And the Park button (yes I know) is very close to the Start button, so it's easy to perform the two actions in quick succession. Classic race condition.

Btw, you can't just press Start again. Even though it's now "in Park." It's in some strange, poorly defined, in-between state, not Park but not Not-Park. To recover, you have to press the Park button again, and then press the Start button again. From a software perspective, this makes me uneasy.

It would be easy to miss such the subtle cues indicating an error (soft beep/message/IC doesn't down). Especially for older people who are hard of hearing, and just pulled into the garage from a sunny drive (bright pupil adaptation takes longer to dilate for older people).

From the Prius GenIII manual[1], pp549

> * Stopping the hybrid system

>Set the parking brake, shift the shift position to P and press the “POWER” switch as you normally do when stopping the hybrid system.

Setting the parking brake is optional, but shifting to Park is not.

There's also a confusing chart with all the warning messages that should explain this behavior, but doesn't. It's on pp525, and it seems to have evidence of incomplete revision:

>The driver’s door has been opened with the shift position in a position other than P and without first turning the “POWER” switch is OFF.

There is no power switch, just a button, and the grammar is wrong. Hmmm...

Curiouser and curiouser.

I shared the same ignorant view until I saw with my eyes what really happened. Everything done in the early 2000s was done by Apple first(and for the most part really well) as much as I hate to admit that.
All Windows did was copy much of the functionality(and did a terrible job at it). If you go through the Keynotes during Steve Jobs return to Apple from 1999-2002 you can see WiFi coming out at least 1 year before anyone, high quality, performing laptops with good battery life and WiFi before anyone.
Take a look at the OS X Aqua interface[1](which hasn't changed much even to this day) coming out 1 year before even XP. Lets not even forget the failure of Vista. It took almost a decade for something even close to come out on Windows.

Spend hours and hours going through the unedited version of history and judge for yourself. You can see the birth of many industries(Youtube-Mac Streaming, Google Search - Sherlock) in those keynotes and its refreshing to see it done so well. I'm not saying Jobs succeeded at all these things, but he definitely saw these things way way before anyone.

Beats me. I'm really interested in seeing it in person. It could be 60 cars per hour, or 240. Either one seems plausible, just a matter of how often the next one is sent on its way, and what the queuing system is like. If the endpoints can keep up with enqueuing and dequeuing the cars, then you could stuff 12 cars a minute on there (720 c/h) and have a 5 second following distance.

I bet you're right, though. At least on this initial build out.
I've written and deleted this message a dozen times trying to get it right without it coming off as an attack. I hope you won't take it that way because I'm genuinely trying to be helpful. The way you parse "Looking for a JavaScript, Typescript, Angular, React, Node.js, Mongo, and BerkleyDB rockstar." sounds like the way I would expect an autistic person to parse it, too literally. Every job everywhere has an implied requirement that you will be able to communicate and work effectively alongside other humans. Since it's a requirement everywhere, hardly anyone will list it explicitly.

When I read:

>"Looking for a JavaScript, Typescript, Angular, React, Node.js, Mongo, and BerkleyDB rockstar."

I parse it as:

"We need someone who can design and implement frontends alongside our product marketing group. Our technology stack is JavaScript, Typescript, Angular, React, Node.js, Mongo, and BerkleyDB."
