The fav button was a useful tool back when it meant "fav" as in "bookmark" and not "like". Maybe they should go back to that? I know they've recently added a "bookmark" button as well, but I hope they don't keep it hidden the way it is now.

On the other hand: Twitter does not have to be a debate site. You can surely debate using it, but it's just a website where you can post short messages and follow your friends. They shouldn't screw it just to cater to a certain part of their user base.
Good.

Please remove retweet count as well.

Maybe Twitter can become a social network without herd mentality.

Ask HN: How do I come up with a name for programming language?
Thank you for the technicalities and legal methods, but I am here for some creative musing. I am currently thinking of 'Anarchy'. The language is heavily mathematical( to put it at best, while at the same time I want to be purposefully vague).
If Twitter genuinely wants to improve the quality of debate online, perhaps they should consider shutting it down.
"Every single sentence has a button for taking it out of context" is the best single-sentence summary of Twitter I have yet seen. Thank-you.
That's correct. Although it's a very specific use-case.
Indeed you can easily produce completely incorrect results if you aren't careful, like 1 = sqrt(-1)/sqrt(-1) = (-i)/(i) = -1.

But the journalist is likely more of an expert on the issues. While there are great comments on HN and Reddit, there are also a lot of arm chair "experts," who now have just as much exposure as real experts. If these scheme is to be productive, we'd need to add some way to assess people's qualifications when we read their comments.
A terminating null element or logical equivalent in an array is helpful in lots of situations. As one example it simplifies the logic of looking for an element in an array and performing some special operation if it was not found. No bool found variable necessary.
Even if they did, your chances of succeeding are slim.

> Either people like your stuff and want to share it, or they don't.

Eh not really. Consider my use case. I don't tweet, retweet or anything. My profile is set to private. I mainly use Twitter for updates on the local public transport (and sport scores). Last week for instance the metro system had a really bad failure. At the end of the day, their Twitter account posted a big apology and you could see whoever was manning it had played a blinder by helping as many people as they could. So I "liked" it as a form of appreciation. I do that a lot.

I don't think I'm alone on this either. I know lots of people who use Twitter for practical things (traffic updates etc.), I honestly can't think of anyone who actually tweets though.

If like goes, I'll just use retweet as a replacement to show the same emotion. Except I'll be retweeting to an empty audience deliberately.

Or even sooner. Money is the story of wealth, but the real working and growing economy was almost always about debt. The moment someone invented writing someone wrote a letter of credit. Kings used it, and countries got built on next year's harvests, and of course went bankrupt when that harvest turned out bad.

It is their responsibility to be fiscally responsible and plan their spending in a way to have sound finances. Taking out a mortgage with near zero deposit with monthly repayment that takes 3/4 of your family income is irresponsible and I disagree with stripping such people of any responsibility. Just because it's easy to get a loan doesn't mean consumer is not responsible for judging feasibility of the loan.

What if interest rates go up and my monthly repayment goes up by 10-15%? What if I lose my job tomorrow and it will take me 6 months to find a new role? These and similar are common sense questions a consumer should ask himself/herself before taking out a loan. I am not going to put 100% of the blame on the bankers. You don't need a degree in economics to be able to ask these simple common sense questions and make a judgement on whether it's a good idea to take out that loan.

I believe it runs with even higher privileges than SYSTEM --- a while ago I had to deal with an unresponsive and 100%-CPU-consuming scanner process, which I tried to kill it from a command prompt running as SYSTEM, and it still said "access denied".

I know the reasoning is "if SYSTEM can kill it then so can malware", but still a bit unsettling that there's processes running on your system that even the owner doesn't have privilege to control.

I love reviewing code and I love having my code reviewed. In my current team we make significant improvements to the code during the review phase, both shaking off bugs and making architectural improvements.

That said, I think that there are some prerequisites for productive code review. Changes are preferably small, reviews need to happen in a timely fashion, the surface area for style nitpicking needs to be minimized with linting and formatting tools and the team needs to be pretty accepting when it comes to different minor design decisions that the different team members might make.

If your change is 2000 lines for what could have been several atomic changes and you get 50 comments about indentation, "you should do it this [slightly different way that the reviewer would have preferred that doesn't significantly improve legibility or design]" after prodding the other team members for a week, address the comments and wait yet another week (and also manually rebase the patch because of 10 conflicts) it's no fun.
People seem determined to write things on Twitter that are absolutely begging to be taken out of context. Sarcasm, inside-jokes, rhetorical hyperbole, assumptions that everyone is following the same story they are, and so on. I don't know why they do it.
Congratulations, that's quite a milestone.

My 2 cents:

One of the hats I wear is what I'd call a "frontend app developer," corresponding to the second role mentioned by OP. I work with vue/webpack/etc. I have a passable knowledge of HTML/CSS. Give me a CSS framework and I can give you a LOB crud app with minimal fuss.

Occasionally I've had to work on visually cutting-edge projects. In those cases, I've found that having a traditional frontend dev (OP's first role) and a designer on the team to be indispensable. The frontend dev specializes in thinking/coding visually with the toolset specifically provided by the web. Sophisticated layouts need careful consideration, balancing new specs (grid, flexbox), performance, maintainability, backwards compatibility, and responsiveness. Dynamic/interactive graphics and animation present a large number of approaches and frameworks all with their own tradeoffs. Then there's font rendering/scaling, optimization for print, email, and the list goes on.

I guess what I'm getting at is that the strictly visual part of frontend development is huge. Easily big enough to justify its own specialty. And for me, keeping up with the frontend app-development landscape, in addition to backend/distributed-systems, that all just doesn't leave enough bandwidth for me to become amazing with the visual side of frontend dev.

And the idea that a designer could do this is, to me, really improbable. Most designers I work with spend their lives in Photoshop/Sketch. Some know the basics of HTML/CSS - the box model, selectors, margins and padding and box-shadows and font-sizes, maybe some basic layout. I haven't met a single one that knows what a polyfill is, or could come close to dealing with flexbox/grid layout, or scss, or webpack, or git, nor could they set up a good workflow that rebuilds and live-reloads 4 different views every time you hit save.

The frontend is now an app distribution/fat-client system. And it's huge and requires more and more specialties, there's just no getting around that.

I'm usually running one or two local Windows or Ubuntu VMs on my MacBook while remoted in to two or three Windows machines with RDP. The local Windows VMs give me infinitely more trouble, even just considering the memory limitations of a single laptop. On the other hand, there's honestly no perceptible difference between the RDP VMs and running Windows natively. I would do all of my Windows work on them, except I have to ask our sysadmin to spin up any new VMs on our server and I am constantly building new VM images from scratch.
I don't know Gab. But if they did something illegal, then the police should shutdown the service. Of course the hoster, Domain service or PayPal is free to choose there customer. But in my opinion it's a bad thing to shut down just somebody because somebody don't like there nose or mind.

In future, this will be in a cashless world, even more problematic.
Honestly: no. I'm a classical liberal and a long time Twitter user, and I intensely dislike Twitter's recent move to the left (Peter Fonda making death threats against the president, Sarah Jeong making a massive series of racist tweets, and Louis Farrakhan comparing Jewish people to termites, all still having Twitter accounts) but gab doesn't appeal since I don't want to be in a right wing vacuum either.

Currently Twitter with a long list of block words is about the best I can get.

Please stop parroting this fallacy. Unless you operate the VPN server that you are connecting to, which most people won't, then you aren't doing much to improve your privacy at all.

"USERS: we love twitter but it has problems

TWITTER: absolutely not

TWITTER: likes are now florps

USERS: what

TWITTER: timeline goes sideways"

(The irony is that likes used to have a clear, simple use: bookmark something for your own reference while also telling the poster that you liked it. Twitter ruined this by injecting "liked" tweets by people you follow into your timeline, collapsing the distinction between like and RT.

Retweet is actually a user-originated function, people used to manually retweet by pasting and putting "RT" at the front.)
Agreed,the quality varies a lot between subreddits.
There's a huge difference in stack vs. heap allocations. Stack space might be effectively infinite in the basic user-space world, but not in any environment using green threads and certainly not in the kernel. In the Linux kernel this is made far worse by the fact that each task's stack sits right above the task structure itself, so a huge allocation might smash the task structure or the next task's stack. The latter is exactly what I had to debug a couple of jobs ago, and it was one of the more difficult debugging journeys of my long career (it was quite sporadic and manifested as hard hangs). VLAs make that kind of scenario much more likely. Being able to check the length before a potentially disastrous allocation is cumbersome, but safer.
I recommend to use a real bookmarking service like Kozmos (https://getkozmos.com) or Pocket instead of Twitter’s bookmarking tool. You can’t search and organize anything on Twitter, and you’ll lose them when you delete your account like I did.

Not my favourite newspaper but the website design is great. Simple, fast, works with my default uBlock, Noscript,Privacy Badger settings! I wish more sites were like that.
Completely agree. The day they decided to go with ads there was no coming back. It's a public company now and they have an obligation towards their shareholders. Ads -> grabbing eyeballs -> evoking reactions. It's quite impossible to balance the interests of your customers(advertisers)vis users if one of them is not paying. They are too far along to do that.
1. You cannot argue faithfully with 140 characters.
2. Isn't a "like"/upvote tool necessary for debates? There isn't a formal judge to rate comments/arguments. Who "wins" is decided by the (very) biased community. This is obviously a bad idea as most communities aren't open to unpopular ideas. However, if you trust the community as a whole you can expect general consensus about sensitive topics such as gay rights, immigration etc.

If you would throw out any evaluation tool then extremist options have the same visibility as any other comment. Meaningful rejection would then be only possibly by 'spamming' a similar counter argument.

I think it's pretty much impossible to create a meaningful rating system because of the said biased 'judges' - removing the like functionality doesn't seem like an improvement though.
Because you have to make assumptions when you only have 140 characters to get an idea through. And yes, I know the limit has been relaxed, but that doesn't change the habit.

Indeed. There were 18th century mathematicians like Gauss who realized the importance of the geometric nature of complex numbers, but it didn't become central to the subject until the 19th century. The appearance of imaginary numbers as formal square roots of negative numbers goes back to the mid 16th century. As for Cartesian coordinates, i^2 = -1 has an intrinsic, coordinate-free interpretation in terms that would be instantly recognizable to the ancient Greeks, but it's certainly true that this way of thinking wasn't at the basis of the discovery and initial development of complex numbers, and thinking of geometric operators as generalized numbers would have seemed pretty alien for most of the 19th century as well.

Context-free humor is extremely hard but somehow twitter has managed to evolve that too. @dril may be the most well known example.

Using the internet for "debate" is pretty difficult outside of fairly homogenous, heavily moderated environments. It just about works on HN and even here it only works on certain subjects.

Besides, the entire premise of "debate" runs out for certain subjects: "we're taking away your rights because you didn't argue convincingly enough that you should get to live in peace" is inherently a disaster.

C++ has std::vector, which doesn’t have any implicit size limitations. I haven’t kept up with the details, so this may have changed, but during the discussions for what C++11, the committee decided not to include VLAs in the official standard because the library already included std::vector.
