Twitter was conceived as a 'micro-blogging' platform. Each Tweet being an independent semantic entity on itself with a 140 - expanded to 280 - character limit. The entire point was to post succinct status updates.

Naturally, people tend to use tools in ways that go beyond the original intended design purpose. Creating entire threads using @ mentions is one of those behaviors.

Proper UX, readability and findability are opportunity costs happily paid in return for tapping directly into a large audience in real time.

Since Twitter is an ad company, it won't fix this because there's zero incentive to do so. On the contrary. If more people are willing to use Twitter and stay on Twitter, the better.

Arguably, Twitter offers the least number of affordances to accommodate long form writing and reading. But here we are.

Medium valiantly tried to offer an answer - proper UX combined with the directness of Twitter - but failed since they were fighting an uphill battle from the get go because their business model consisted of competing with an incumbent using the same tactic: building another content silo as a private venture.
I work at Oracle Labs where GraalVM (graalvm.org) is being developed. I think this is one of the most exciting places to be right now for compiler engineers, and people with the right skills are certainly in demand. Some things that came out of this: partial escape analysis, the Graal JIT compiler, SubstrateVM, native-image, several Truffle language implementations (JS, Ruby, Python, LLVM), IGV for visualizing different layers of IRs, integrating GraalVM in the Oracle Database (MLE).

Bugcrowd run bug bounty programs like https://bugcrowd.com/netgear on behalf of companies

They explained earlier that if they entered the bug bounty program with Netgear, they would be agreeing to not disclose: "By submitting the security bug, you affirm that you have not disclosed and agree that you will not disclose the security bug to anyone other than NETGEAR."

So it seems they were trying to get Bugcrowd as a intermediary to contact Netgear on their behalf to "establish a communications channel outside of the Netgear bug bounty programs"
There's been a resurgence due to interest in specialized processors and new computing architectures and systems in general, mostly for ML.
Full disclosure means 0 days generally.

One of the books I liked on this (Facebook/Instagram depression) was "Love your life, not theirs" by Rachel Cruze (daughter of Dave Ramsey). The problem is that someone addicted to FB/IG won't bother to read it, and someone who is not, won't need to read it.

As a for a person living in Central Europe, it's somewhat depressing to see these numbers.
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with that intention :)

I have contacted just a few people (every two/three months) and sent them longer texts with specific examples of why something they did or said had a positive impact on me. The channel does not matter to me, it depends on what kind of contact possibilities I have to that person. It's usually a really long compliment, which I let one or two persons, who know the one I'm writing to, proof-read. I want to make sure it conveys the genuine "thank you" and does not make me look like a stalker or trying to flirt.

Since I only got a ~33% response rate, I am unsure whether I should continue doing that - 66% of the people I've contacted probably see me as a weirdo...

"introducing" people that worked on something on a website usually puts me off. Every corporate website you'll find today has a "team" page with some people with fake smiles.

I don't really care about the face of people that made projects, I prefer a website to describe the project itself, why they used this or this technology, why they made the design choices they made.

Thank you. I needed that, myself. It cannot be understated: Its all a game. I believe, its one of chance with a very strong element of skill. But, its the stress that makes one bitter. Bitterness is it`s own hell.

> it would look rather bad on Uber

It will only look bad if that person has enough clout to make the story that visible. But most people don't which is why Uber, Facebook, Google, etc. can do whatever they want with your account and offer you absolutely no recourse. The balance of power in these relationships is tilted so much to one side that nothing short of strong regulation will help the regular user.

It's a little difficult to parse meaning out of this article... a hit piece by a candidate for municipal office attempting to smear an incumbent with willful distortions.

If GE made $1B here (which I think is a total guess, stemming from American Industrial Partner's self-described focus on the middle market), it was from selling "corporation" not "data". "Wall St" in this case means PE not HF. There's a hand-wavy attempt to link this transaction to California DMV's sale of data, but the two cases aren't remotely similar.

The interesting part is actually the PDF of the San Diego "intelligent lighting" contract embedded in the article; they've highlighted the main points. Section 7 of the contract says that San Diego owns the raw data, while the vendor owns the processed data free & clear to do with as they please.

So this in no sense represents San Diego selling "footfall data" to HF, but it is somewhat eyebrow raising.

> What is wrong with IT culture at German car manufacturers?

Don't know about BMW in particular but I went to university in close vicinity to another large german car manufacturer. They do basically nothing in house. Everything is outsourced to suppliers (who often outsource their stuff again). There is enormous price pressure among the suppliers and no real room for culture. Also Java, everything is Java.

But the companies are slowly seeing that its a problem and start building up their own dev teams with "hip" offices in Berlin and so on.

Of course there are always exceptions.
Yeah, but why would they do that, if balfirevic is right (and I think he is)? Once everyone is telecommuting, the question becomes: do I want to pay a 50%-80% premium to get a native speaker, instead of someone who speaks it quite well and might have even worked previously in the UK?
"The Shamanic Path to Quantum Consciousness: The Eight Circuits of Creative Power" by Laurent Huguelit.

This book literally changed my life and set it on a very different course a few years ago.

It builds upon the 8 circuit-brain model of Timothy Leary, to provide both a map (which is presented as such and not expounded so as to confuse it with the reality it describes), and a practice that is derived from classic, western-compliant core shamanism, as formulated by the anthropologist Michael Harner who created the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) in the 80's, practice which makes testable the framework presented in the book (so it remains quite pragmatic and not only theoretical), and provides the absolutely delightful properties of:

- not rejecting any part or aspect of reality as we know it, so that biology, emotions, the intellect, social life, sex, drugs, sports, science, religions, yoga, meditation, nutrition, arts, quantum probabilities etc. all have their place in this story;

- doesn't paint itself as THE ONE AND ONLY valid view of reality, but instead offers (and strongly recommend) to integrate and make your own life experiences first class citizens and to adapt the discourse according to them, thus completely reversing the usual pattern of those kind of "revelation" books;

- offers a very coherent and inclusive perspective on reality, borrowing concepts from the science of cybernetics to paint a picture of it in terms of feedback loops that develops a new approach of the mind and its harmony, relying on eight broadly defined "circuits" or "tracks" (like in a car engine) and their interactive and dynamic play to provide fulfillment and as the source to real life creativity...

It is not long but it is dense in content; there is no fluff, and I am fairly certain that any competent hacker (in the broadest sense) with an open mind will find a many very precious tools and ideas in it.

This is what we call "unmaintained" software. 'Unmaintained' may sound like a value judgment, but it's not - it's exactly what you're talking about; a project where any attempt to contact the putative maintainer is likely to be ignored altogether, and the "proper" channel for enhancement involves forking it and perhaps maintaining a version yourself.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. The lens through which you see the world can change how you experience things. That said, it is also a great thing if you find people in a work setting that can connect with this sentiment of not being a cog, and to find fundamental value in the work we do. There are companies that do things differently and its worth pursuing those even though they are rarer.
Hey HN, I would love to get your feedback on my new course for React. It's an interactive platform (built on top of learnjavascript.online) that teaches React in the browser by explaining concepts step by step.
The lessons are byte-sized and are followed up by practice challenges as well as flashcards that help you persist your knowledge.
I also made it work on mobile so that students can read some lessons or even solve challenges while taking the train/metro.
The whole platform is custom built (the text editors are open source projects).

> pride-based programming

I'm absolutely not talking about pride. That's a straw man - nowhere in my answer did I discuss a person's pride. I'm a big proponent of egoless programming (as far as any human being can) and while I have no idea whether ego came into this, pride is not the only reason a person might reject these kinds of patches.

That said, ego is a great reason for you to dismiss valid arguments, so I'm guessing you've made up your mind.

> The flaw with this is that just running code in production for a modest amount of time proves nothing. That is in fact the opposite of proof, it's an anecdote. [...] proven to hold certain properties [...]

You've just made exactly my point, but from the opposite side. You are saying that Safety, and those "proven properties" are of higher importance than being bug-free in the real world.

The issue is that it is impossible to prove that code is correct via tools. You can prove some properties, but you cannot prove fitness for purpose.

> Have you load tested your software? How did you simulate it? Have you validated your algorithm with a tool like TLA+? Have you watched your memory use carefully? Have you measured the latency variance? Under what kinds of loads? Is your data real or a projection using something like USL4J?

Generally speaking, I have no idea. In this scenario, I know the project owner has done some performance testing, so maybe. But honestly, I've no idea what you're trying to argue here.

> Pull requests on GitHub are generally the click of a button

This seems like a big flip from the previous statement. No, Pull requests on GitHub for a trusted and depended-on project are NOT a single click. If that is how you run your open source PR pipeline, very quickly your users will not trust you.

Thanks. Your answer captures the nuances much better than mine. I was concentrating simplistically on the difference between heap and stack allocation, but that misses a lot of the common usage & idioms.

I tend to differ:

Netgear security is paid to manage security. They failed by not responding to these legitimate communications requests.

The researcher are not paid. They did what could be done to really fix the problem. Of course you can always do better as a researcher, always, but consider time available and paid vs. pro bono time. Also consider all the people who probably found this before and may have sold it on black market, you’re attacking the wrong people.
Right. Get good at something and remember when some one tries to size you up. Even if you are in a position to not respond just remembering how good you are changes your body posture and expressions. The down side is sometimes if makes you feel a bit of a dick to think like this but its okay.
Yes this is why I said the benchmark is poorly written. It encourages frameworks to do such thing.

Even if you look at the code of hyper for the benchmark, it does some ugly things not recommended in production. I'm not blaming actix/hyper's authors, I'm blaming the benchmark author encouraging (not voluntarily) such practice.

However the benchmark is enough to see that C++ is not faster by several margins, hence my curiosity about benchmarks proving otherwise.
You were being underpaid for SF.

That's why surveys like these are useful. There are many companies who will happily underpay unsuspecting employees for years or decades on end.

You probably made the right choice though. Even at compensation levels posted in this survey, there's no value for your money here.
In french, we have the word "Baie", which means berry, but is not widely used for fruits, and we also have another expression which is much more used, "Fruits rouges", literally "red fruits". I think it covers more accurately fruits like raspberries, strawberries, and others. I don't know if "red fruits" is also used in english.
Not sure I saw the feedback, but as I understand it its based on a lot of data from students at the college.

There is a fixed price for those who want it.

The subscription model is especially for those who might not want to own the product forever; like those who want to use it for a couple of months to a year and quit.
Since its launch, I have seen the majority of new subscriptions shift from the monthly to the annual. And now, as of the start of this year, I have seen a bump in the lifetime subscriptions.

The other great thing about subscriptions is that you, the user, get lifetime updates/support/upgrades.

This is wholesome.

It's so easy to give negative feedback and feels like it'll be taken as "creepy" or with some other intention to give positive feedback.

FWIW I've been making a concerted effort to give out much more positive feedback, since I had a psychiatrist who said "it takes roughly 9x the positivity to offset 1x of negativity" (or something to that effect), "So make sure when you feel something positive that you let people know, it's very important" and honestly just being brave enough to give that kind of positive feedback is enough.

I can tell you _for sure_ that it's appreciated, and you should definitely not have any inhibitions if it's well intentioned.

In fact, this post has inspired me to increase the scope of my positive feedback, so, thank you. :)

I do this on thanksgiving every year - just reach out to some inspiring artists in areas within my interests but don’t know personally. I do include a P.S. no reply expected; I just want to convey my thanks and appreciation but not accidentally guilt trip them into replying. That part might just be my insecurity though.

I’ve been trying to work on writing to more people every year as it can be quite intimidating sometimes, writing to those you admire, but the pretext of thanksgiving helps overcome that.
