I've always found Twitter to be a bit of a mess. Spam bots everywhere, and not a single cohesive line of thought that I can tune into. It feels unstructured and utterly disjointed, and whenever I'm forced to go on there, I can't wait to leave.

I wonder if they just pay famous people to use it and others follow?!
Honda stores the spare in the in-bed trunk. But there's also a threaded insert in the front of the bed where you can attach the spare. Either because you needed all of the trunk room for tools/golf-bags, etc., or in case of getting a flat while you were hauling gravel and couldn't open the trunk.
I haven't explicitly tried to enforce encryption, but probably the drive-by style reports would require extra steps that their automation might not handle. So probably a good first filter. But then I'm still no wiser since the ability to use pgp isn't a qualifier regarding knowledge of the engineer or quality of their report.

It seems that the underlying problem is that those that do good work in this space don't scan the web to find new customers/leads to pitch their service in shambolic ways. And the skiddies who want to make a quick buck will outnumber the good who might accidentally have ended up on your site (because they like your product etc).

the noise/quality ratio in the whole approach is just too big for this to work well in practice. I'm still waiting for the recruitment industry to catch up with the practice and use the security.txt as a sink for people who want to be added to a list of experts that will be contacted when "the company is ready to do a full security assessment post-MVP". I realize this would be fraudulent and I'm not advocating for it - just saying that fake-job offers aren't uncommon either so this will just be a question of time.

I would have liked to make a higher effort post about twitter's UX, but if you want a platform that lets conversations happen, is there anything more important than this? They've done work to privilege the OP's responses, but giving one party that ability would seem even worse for conversation.

Great for a learning exercise. For a production environment, it's unlikely the organization is such a snow flake. A mature product is probably a better engineering choice than writing one from scratch when you're writing your first one.

> If it's so easy to reason about, why can't you just state the type of the variable?

because :
- easy to reason about and easy to type are two differents things
- naming everything increases mental load

> Use of the auto keyword avoids doing that and as a result enables you to create new and exciting bugs in your code.

to the contrary, porting a lot of my code to use almost-always-auto did actually remove bugs in the form of silent type conversions happening - e.g. std::pair<std::string, int> instead of std::pair<const std::string, int> (yay memory allocations), bad fp conversions...

Not saying they do (or even could) do this, only that this seems the core business model.

"cute shitty documentation" - reading the GCP docs has been nothing but a pleasure for me. I genuinely hate most documentation (I am looking at you Microsoft), but GCP is up there in quality, almost standing next to MDN.

Could you give me an example of something you had trouble looking up? I am genuinely curious.

As far as experience - the Cloud hasn't lived up to the promise for me. We often use Azure function apps and debugging them is a pain. Sometimes the function doesn't load at all when you change one thing, etc.

AWS was a bit of a better experience, and I think almost everyone knows what "S3" is. That is to say that AWS immediately springs to mind when you need to store BLOBs.

I have also read about people having a lot of problems with GCPs BigQuery - infrequent, but random downtimes with support not being able to figure out the issue.

Edit: As someone else said below - I do agree that all Google's services have a clear use, whereas AWS and Azure tend to have a lot that you just kind of ignore.

Sure muggles don't care about Google dropping services.

My experience is that Google services are often an order of magnitude harder to use than competitors.

For example I did a shootout between the visual recognition APIs from IBM, Amazon, clarif.ai, Google and some others.

I had the other ones up and running in under ten minutes each.

Google made me go through a sign-up and authentication process that looked like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWEvp217Tzw

and then installing their Python SDK trashed my Python installation and forced me to reinstall anaconda.

I think Google is used to hiring people with 130+ IQs and wasting their cognitive capacity and they would love to make you waste your cognitive capacity too.

Ok. Let’s put forth some baselines. In real life most people don’t grievously insult each other (discount passive aggressiveness, microagressions, bravado, boasting and other ultralight insults) Most people on Twitter don’t insult each other. A low percentage of people do in both cases. Does Twitter facilitate and provide a more lubricated vehicle for insult? Possibly?

The information in this video isn't new to me. However, it did serve as a very useful reminder of why we should exercise for cognitive benefit.

There is a reason why Sam Altman gave the same advice on Startup School. I'm not sure if it was this reason, but it should be included.

The brain power and movement link can also be experienced yourself. What I did: I cycled to work, walked to work + ran the last 1,6km (1 mile) and sometimes got a ride to work. I noticed that my mind was most sharp when I cycled to work.

My challenge to non-believers is to try that experiment for yourself and see if you can feel the difference. If you can't cycle safely then replace it with exercising before you're commuting (e.g. going for a 30 min. run).

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEl2KUZ3JWA -- it seems Sam Altman only thinks exercise is useful for physical productivity. Well Sam, I'm here to challenge your worldview ;-)

In my neuroscience classes I've learned that it also gives a lot of cognitive benefits.

Save the Wikipedia links: surely you remember the time when database selection boiled down to "Oracle or bust". I'm not implying that S3 was first & dominant early on: I'm stating it as a flat fact.

Yes, many RDBMS offerings have preceded Oracle, but none gained such wide adoption early on. Oracle has always had a strong sales team, so they've been able to grow their business rapidly. Good for them. SQL standardization has nothing to do with it either, because SQL is the user-facing language, not a wire protocol. What travels over the wire between an Oracle client and the server has about as much to do with SQL as the S3 API has to do with XML.

In your rush to defend AWS you seem to be falling into the same trap of immaturity as the people who have assumed that S3 will always remain the one true storage layer. It is not your fault, just a sign of the times. You're part of the generally apparent downward trend in level-headed, long-term thinking among the software cadre. For your next project, I recommend that you keep in mind that proper abstractions and clearly defined interfaces are crucial for maintainability of software over the long term. Good luck!
> It’s almost impossible to have a smart, healthy argument on Twitter because no one has the space needed to share their thoughts.

The article gives an example of each user trying to discuss and reply 4x branches of a conversation in 280 characters. At best, this can be mitigated on Twitter by "one person replies with a sequence of tweets", and the other then replies to that sequence.

I don't think brevity is the main reason for a lack of healthy arguments, though.
"smart, healthy arguing" is a hard game for people to play, so it's "almost impossible" to have anywhere. (Let alone on a site where replies are open to anyone who might have had a bad day and wants to vent, or whatever).

:-) Twitter's user-experience can also be quite different for users with different following / follower counts.

>Talk about an inflated sense of ego there. Do you not consider the fact that people make less may have nothing to do with where they stand in the talent pool? You're suggesting there's some sort of logical relationship between income and talent. Does it? Are you sure it's not your own cognitive bias at work?

In the US, we live in a mostly capitalistic society and have a mostly free market. If talent was not tied to salary then companies would hire cheaper engineers rather than paying the current high rates. They don't because, in general, better engineers cost more money. Better here means they provide more value to the company which may involve them having better people skills. Doesn't apply to everyone but there is a decent correlation or else someone would be exploiting the opportunity shamelessly.

edit: In fact, if you believe what you say then you should be able to create a great employee owned consulting business by taking advantage of the disparity between talent and salary.

Being stupid is not a crime, so it is therefore also not a defense. If, through your stupidity, you threaten or injure something for which it is a legitimate purpose of government to defend, the government may take action to defend it, and your stupidity is irrelevant. If your stupidity is harmless, then the defense is that you didn't harm anything, not that you were stupid in doing so.

You can be sued by private persons for making fun of people in the US

It is a pretty lucrative GOTCHA!

Edit: and win

Here is a guide on the US tort framework for libel and slander

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/defamation-law-made-...

You can also be sued by the state under criminal statutes for defamation and this is constitutionally protected under several circumstances that are broad

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_defamation_law

So people have just made up a social contract about the US that doesnt always exist. This is partially because the definitions vary from state to state, and judge to judge within a single state. But you have to also realize that other countries are often structured the same way.

Tl:dr; many people’s experience in the US is one where there is both civil and criminal liability for making fun of someone and it has always been like this. Just like “those other worse” countries, no matter what your childhood indoctrination convinced you of.

Which graph technology were you using, and were the graphs maintained separately or via some kind of syncing?
I've done some work in "parallel worlds" overlaid on top of the real one by latitude/longitude, using the cool "ARCL" library - and the biggest headache I've found for location-based AR (instead of the type that just scans the room or a table) is that even little variations in GPS positioning can really interfere with the experience.

The first time you see virtual objects linked to a real-world place, it's magical - but that magic quickly goes away when everything suddenly shifts 10 (or 50) meters to the east because your device got updated GPS info.

I've become much more aware of how much "cheating" happens in driving / map apps to cover up these hiccups - ever take an exit and your map still shows you driving down the highway for a while? That kind of cheating probably won't work in an AR space.

This is technology that will no doubt improve, but it's definitely one of those "final 5% is 50% of the work" nuisances where just a small amount of inaccuracy can wreck the illusion.

The hard point of the car is part of the frame on every vehicle I can recall. And I recall a lot, because back when I was a mechanic I had to find those points to get the car on the hydraulic lift. One had to be careful of rusty VW Beetles as unibody as kind of a new thing, and a lift could punch a hole through the floor of a rusted Beetle if one wasn’t careful.

Anyway, enough resume flouting. Yes, you should unload your truck before changing the tire. What if that 1000 lbs. is pea gravel? Still unloading it first, Dr. Safety First? If I had 1000 lbs. in the bed and I had a flat? I’d change it as is. It won’t be the smartest thing I do that week, and I am going to keep my hands out from breaking the vertical plane of the wheel well as much as possible. But I am confident that the solid point of the frame will hold it, and even the puny jack is likely stringer than it looks.

But in reality, if I had a load, I’d just call AAA or a mobile truck service. They carry really nice heavy-duty jacks. Flat tires are such a rarity these days, I’d roll the dice on paying someone $200 to change my tire.

In the end, if you’re that worried about it, do what we did when I was kid with our old ‘63 Chevy: throw the spare on top of the load when you’re done loading. Doesn’t fix the jacking problem, but at least the spare is accessible.
There are a lot of security experts on HN and I personally find it an interesting topic even though I have very little knowledge of that industry. Since the guidelines are "anything that could be of interest to hackers" and security research consists of creative use of low level software and hardware, I don't see how it's a strange topic for HN at all. I'm sure there are many other articles here that don't intersect with a generalist software developer's area of expertise.

This is a mega-tangent, but...

Frankly, if you're dumb enough to buy a smart TV, this is what you deserve. It should be obvious that (a) the expected lifespan of the hardware investment in a TV is a pretty long time - 10 years, maybe? But (b) the expected lifespan of the "smart" part is obviously much smaller: for example, you know that codecs are going to change, and computational requirements for them will increase significantly (e.g., from MPEG2->DIVX->H264->H265) on a much faster scale, maybe 2-3 years.

With the hardware for the display being on drastically different horizon than that for the computation, it should be obvious that the overall product design is flawed. And it's flawed in a way that updated software will eventually be unable to cover.

EDIT: obviously we want to be able to do "smart" stuff with our TVs. But the right approach for this is with separate components (e.g., Roku, Fire, Apple TV) that we can swap out as they become obsolete while retaining the longer-term investment in the display.
