Only about five people. But there's also an economy almost unrelated to those people that brings in $330,000,000,000 a year via satellites of various sorts. And if more of the internet starts getting routed through LEO that number is likely to go up a lot.
That’s correct. Afaik, in Owl, the choice to support just C was intentional to avoid overcomplicating the implementation
It doesn't. This is just another item that belongs on lists like:

If you don't like gay marriage, don't get gay married.

If you don't like guns, don't buy one.

No one should care. Seriously. There is no super secret work time that will make you a super-programmer.
> It looks a lot like the reddit redesign to me

Not at all. Reddit has one nav across the top and side and a large auto-expanding area for the main content. Twitter desktop now has navs on both sides which take about roughly the same amount of real estate as the main content area, which is not auto-expanding.
I think a lot of people like Twitter's algorithmic sorting. I've heard they have internal data supporting that it's better for most users. That's fine. FWIW I like Facebook's algorithmic sorting. But I use Twitter differently and time-sorted works better for me on Twitter. (As a secondary thing; time-sorted also avoids the injection of most of the tweets from people you don't follow.)

The offense is that they deliberately undo your expressed preference every week or two. I also hate the cutesy language of "you're back Home".

What you described here is essentially 'survivorship bias'. Also,just because someone married away into a cosy suburb with 2 kids and a nice hubby,it doesn't mean they aren't lonely. There are millions of people out there who would kill for a chance to have someone outside that "perfect" life just to talk openly with... All those "desperate housewives" don't get created without reason.
Math is somewhat unique in that the high-school and early college version is not at all representative of the real thing. Its not "just a taste", its qualitatively different.

As the other comment above mentioned, I think this has to do with education of the teachers. Very few teachers know what math is either.
> Its become almost impossible to see a new OS project succeed in the current landscape,

Fuchsia contains a considerable and ever-growing amount of Rust. And if you consider VM infra in the "OS" category, you have Firecracker from Amazon and crosvm from Google as well.

We'll see how it goes; there is one studio that has made AAA-level games in the past using Rust now, and a new studio that is full of ex-EA folks.

> Personally, I want the program to crash rather than keep running

The alternative here isn't keeping running, it's "does not compile in the first place". That's even sooner than your crash, and guaranteed, as opposed to "happens to hit the right code path."
One big problem as a Stack Overflow viewer who comes from Google is that many times the top result for a search leads to a question/answer that is a dead end. The question is valid but it is closed because it was asked on the wrong website (Stack Overflow vs. Stack Exchange), it's too subjective, it's a duplicate, etc. Or the question is downvoted and there are no useful answers.

Another issue which comes about from the overzealous duplicate tagging is that not all software engineering questions last forever. If someone is asking how something works in C89 and gets the best answer, and then someone else asks the same question five years later, the answer will be the same. But if it is a question about JavaScript or new C++ or Python, then answers can get stale pretty fast. One workaround the community uses is taking those questions that are top hits or top quality and keeps editing them year after year. But that only works for the high profile questions and answers. The policy hurts the site overall.
That's not independent of us, it still happened once in billions years.
People probably don't even realize that stuff moves to a server at all. People may think this is all happening and contained within their local app and therefore private and in their control. They probably also assume snapchats go from their phone to the recipient directly and aren't held anywhere in between.

This is I think the most scary possibility. If you think faceapp is processing this in the app with your phone's hardware, learning that they save all pictures sounds like a vast conspiracy and not so believable.

However, if you understand the technology and that most things online are not processed client side, the privacy implications are suddenly obvious because of course the company will keep that data that passes through their hardware. No shareholder will let money be left on the table so all data you put online should be assumed to be kept for later profit.

People have to be better educated on how the software they use every day actually works, at least in broad strokes. This can come in a high school media/technology literacy class or something.

Until that day comes, we have two classes of people: those who understand how the tech they use works and makes a company money, and those who will be forever manipulated by the first group so long as they have a dollar or a right to vote. It's a hard problem to overcome when so many technology companies are entirely dependent on profit from people's continued ignorance and tech illiteracy.

This makes me think of a good friend from college that I lost touch with, who recently committed suicide. I felt a significant amount of guilt, thinking about the fact that I could have very easily stayed in touch with him, despite not living anywhere close. Really made me think about people that I've had friendships with in the past that I may be able to reach out to and make a difference in their lives just by being the one person (or one of a few) that they talk to on a semi-frequent basis.
I agree with dhimes that targeting people reading about a tragedy would actually work quite well. Certain people read about those kinds of things, and those people are definitely more susceptible to buying certain products. If you're worried about something happening to your child, a security camera advertised within the context of such an article would be great targeting. Remember, even the best ad targeting right now only gives a certain edge over showing random ads. It's not like you need 100% of people that read the article to purchase the product.

And there are plenty of geopolitics books sold, and usually at a high price point, too. Someone commented elsewhere in the thread that $1/person/day is total online ad spend in America, so the bar isn't too high.

Furthermore, I'm responding to someone who was thinking of the _worst possible headlines_ for selling related ads. There are plenty that lend themselves better to ads: "new national park in [place near you]" could have ads for tons of very high value products... I just checked RV rentals, and even a fairly small and old RV went for $300+/night near a national park. Tack on some fees and a family could easily spend $2500, of which a large amount is profit (I imagine) with a small/old RV like that. Perhaps it has another ad too, to catch those interested in ultralight backpacking, people in that community can spend $500+ on one single piece of gear easy. And a third ad, to catch everyone else not interested by the above - an ad for a general camping/wilderness/hunting goods store.

The more I think about it, the more I'm sold that it's actually a great idea.

I naturally fall into a loose form of intermittent fasting - I've never been a breakfast person, and I tend to forget to stop for lunch. Most days, I don't usually think about food at all until around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and eat around 6pm.

It takes zero will power at all, and if I get hungry earlier (or want to go out with coworkers for lunch or get hungry again later in the evening), I'll still eat. I just usually don't, and tend to stay in an intermittent fasting state >80% of the time. It also acts as a natural counterweight to my generally poor eating choice, which would not be sustainable if I ate more frequently.

But it takes a _massive_ amount of willpower for me to be active. I frequently switch between highly technical work to executive-level engagement to client management and business development work, all within the same day, and it leaves me completely mentally exhausted at the end of it. In fact, I _don't_ have the willpower to force myself to be active most of the time. But I have a few friends that I am eternally grateful for, who are like energizer bunnies and always going, understand that aspect of me, and share their willpower with me when needed. They're able to tell when it's time to ignore my declining their invites and to show up anyway and drag me out to a hike or swim or something. And I feel great once we get going.

Understanding your personal will power is critical, but what you do with that understanding is even more so. I've leaned into where mine is at, and have developed support structures in my life to compensate for where mine isn't. But my success in doing so has been predicated on understanding and adapting to my willpower, not on the strength of it nor fighting against it. It's really hard to generalize the shape that takes or to project out the difficulty of something to someone else, since they'll likely have completely different strengths and weaknesses in that regard.

I've soldiered on through several experiences like that, and sort of assumed it was the usual (being non American, I guess I just assumed it was cultural differences with Americans or my English being annoying).

People with phds in areas I couldn't even spell treated me with a level of kindness and patience that I really wasn't expecting... So I guess it isn't just the format of SO.

> that timestamp definitely survives `git commit --amend` and other operations like rebase with squash.

You're only talking about the first commit in a squash, and assuming that there aren't multiple squashes, right? There isn't only one timestamp in a squash, so you lose all but one of them.

> I've had commits where the author timestamp was many months older than my last modification to the commit before finally pushing it upstream.

Right, exactly, this illustrates why looking at timestamps isn't a good proxy for work time.

Docker Hub Outage
Things like dried beans/peas, eggs, full grain rice, sunflower seeds, whole potatoes, green leafs, tomatoes, brassicaceaes, onions, apples, bananas and carrots can all be obtained at a fair price. You can cover a lot with these, and it's much better than fried chips and pasta.

My take is more than:

- a scary amount of people of my generation are completely uneducated about food. They don't know what a balanced diet is. They don't know how to cook. They don't know where to shop. They don't know how to choose a product. They don't know how much their health is affected by this. And they rather spend an hour on facebook than starting to figure it out.

- food is hard. Our society make it harder: we have a huge quantity of low quality food at our disposal. We solved the starving problem, but replaced it with a malnutrition problem, aggravated with the desire to make money which lead to the promotion of shitty food and the production of it. Getting proper information on nutrition is a hell of confusion, contradictory messages, social pressure and guilt.

- tasty balanced food is expensive and requires time + work + planning. Anybody can buy the stuff I talked about. But if you go to your usual supermarket and buy them, they will taste like crap. In fact, it's even hard to find nice food at the farmer market nowadays. So of course they don't want to eat them. I mean, between this red plastic ball they call a tomato and a kit kat, why the hell would a kid not choose the kit kat ? Why would the exhausted parents fight again and again to force the kid to eat something themselves think taste bad ? Life is hard enough.

- there are too many of us. To feed everyone we need to use use production, processing and distribution methods that lead to crappy food. Over population affects everything, from medical care quality to democracy. Food is no exception.

- our culture is messed up. We made it so that eating meat was a social status indicator. So everybody started to want to it meat. Then everybody started to eat it every day. Producing meat is incredibly expensive, so we have to use tricks to produce such a quantity, which lead to terrible food again.

- morality is an issue. I've work in OHS for some times. The amount of disgusting things that are done to food for profit is astonishing. And people just shut up. SEP field. If you photophop food for a living, if you participate to those marketing studies, if you work in a factory making crap, if you cook in a fast food, if you sign on contracts for bad food, if you code a website for an immoral actor, you are part of the problem. I know people have many constraint, and I don't pretend to have the moral high ground. I'm part of it as well. But my point is, we are responsible too.
MITM on HTTPS traffic in Kazakhstan
thats not how the instagram economy works.

accounts are basically worth an additional $100 for every 5,000 followers, multiplied by engagement percent. ie. 1% engagement account with 5,000 followers would be worth around $100, 2% with 5,000 followers worth around $200. forget accounts with high heat (A and B-list celebrities), people flip meme and inspirational accounts ALL DAY. (this a simplistic scale from how I've seen the opening bids be set, and the negotiations I've had).

when when you aren't flipping and suddenly rebranding accounts, you get ROI by doing promos which have a fairly fixed cost. $10 to post about someone else or tag them in a story. the better your account is, the more you can charge and the less time you have to show someone. with stories you can stack promos all day and break even on an account in a week.

you get ROI to break even very quick.

(a hacker or phish may try other things like scamming D-list model's thirsty followers in Direct Messages.)

> maybe you could make a few hundred dollars promoting some crpyto thing

false. you'll get 2% of the entire currency pre-mined and minted straight to you, 3% of the funds raised, and upfront fees in the low five figures.

and if the crypto is post-launch, you'll get upfront fees, a lot less tokens, and then the hundreds of thousands you'll make pumping it if people bite. otherwise, you have to buy yourself and hope you can pump it, and if you are poor thats the only way you'll wind up with "just a few hundred dollars promoting some crypto thing"

yeah leave this to the pros and imagine people are still just buying fake followers or something relevant half a decade ago.

honestly, I feel like Facebook should be acting as an escrow agent and taking a cut of the promos and account sales. Would be safer for participants and lucrative for FB.
The conspiracy theorist in me suspects that they only introduced cookie blocking after they were sure that other fingerprinting methods were reliable enough that they didn't need cookies anymore. They can pretend like they're "doing something" when blocking cookies in and of itself is another variable they can use to fingerprint you.
Yeah, most (all) of these arguments seem silly. The primary argument not to use it in emails because someone MIGHT improperly quote your email in a reply and then NOT encrypt their response? Well someone might screenshot your Signal app, or have malware on their phone, or a million other things. It seems like such an absurd corner case to me.

For my use case I don't have any concerns about using GPG. I encrypt files with it, and if anyone wants to put up any money that they can access my files, let me know what escrow service you want to use.

This. Also, as an attorney, I view all descriptions of possible sentences with extreme skepticism.

A hyperbolic explanation [1] so I don't have to retype something similar:

> Federal sentences are calculated using the United States Sentencing Guidelines. The guidelines are a very complex set of rules used to calculate a federal sentence based upon the crime charged, the circumstances of the case, and the criminal record of the defendant. Calculating a very simple sentence is like completing a very simple tax return under, say, 1040-EZ; a complex sentence is like completing a tax return for a troubled entity engaged in questionable tax practices. Or, for you old-school geeks, like creating a Runequest character for a friend who is an argumentative rules-lawyer. From the enactment of the guidelines in the 1980s until United States v. Booker in 2005, the guidelines were binding upon federal judges — they had to follow the guidelines unless there were grounds for a "departure," meaning the rare circumstance not contemplated by the guidelines. Guidelines-application litigation was time-consuming, tedious, and generally despised by trial and appellate judges. In 2005, the Supreme Court decided to construe the guidelines as mere recommendations which federal judges must consider, thus avoiding the Constitutional dilemma of the sentencing judge making findings of fact driving the sentence without a jury's input. Now, federal judges calculate and consider guidelines sentences, but make their own determination, taking into account the factors required by federal statute. Appellate courts review trial judges' sentences for "reasonableness," in which adherence to the guidelines is one factor. Sentences within the guidelines are presumed reasonable. Most federal judges tend to issue sentences close to the guidelines; some impose sentences below, but it's rarer to see one impose a sentence above.

> Then why have US tech companies like Facebook taken so much flack in the past year for privacy issues?

Because they've also mishandled the private data of Americans. Similarly to the NSA stuff, Americans appear to be fine with it if it is done on their behalf to the rest of the world, but are outraged when they experience it. If FB operated differently in the US, I'm sure the US press would be much more sympathetic with regards to their shenanigans in Europe.

But devs have unilaterally decided that bigger screens and more powerful hardware is for them to hog and not for you to do efficient/more things in the same time.
As a software engineer who comes from the lower class (the West side ghetto of Chicago, in fact), let me tell you right now that lower class people socializing with their neighbors doesn't mean those interactions are at all inclusive of different approaches to life. Yeah, you get more socializing and connections, but those interactions tend to be constrained by forces like homophobia, racism, etc. Just because they're socializing doesn't mean they are also re-enforcing a world where everyone can feel accepted. It strikes me as naive to think the working class are this miasma of authentic relations, they socialize better because the set of considered opinions is virtually uncontested.

Actually, headers _do_ often work that way. HTTP says:

Multiple message-header fields with the same field-name MAY be present in a message if and only if the entire field-value for that header field is defined as a comma-separated list

Which applies to HTTP headers such as Cache-Control:, and probably goes back to the email RFCs allowing multiple To: headers.

It's just that Access-Control-Allow-Origin isn't defined to accept a comma list, just like Content-Security-Policy doesn't (which is another header breaking things if it appears more than once)
