This was not because of Twitter fact checking him. Trump had signaled he was looking into social media bias prior to yesterday.

Empathy, documentation, and proper communication channels.

Have you tried holding "office hours" for the newer guys? i.e. give them a window when they can ask their questions to the other devs?

Have you given them an idea of what you expect from them when they're stuck? example here: https://medium.com/@JeffLombardJr/for-new-devs-how-to-ask-in...

People will be on different schedules, but it is nice to have a weekly sync at the beginning of the week. Gitlab and Zapier have alot of great resources on setting up remote teams

Indeed I wouldn't dare, I don't follow any progressives (I think), don't read their tweets, don't get the recommendations they do etc.

Now I can tell you as a conservative, because I experience it every day.
You can always install CDE :)
> Again, this doesn't apply to a huge portion of the US population because they have health insurance.

Let me guess you've never had to use yours for anything major.
It can be a private company it just needs to be regulated. I think you are underestimating how big Twitter is... It's way bigger than CNN its way bigger than Fox in fact those networks regularly quote tweets.
That case is rather unique and doesn't invalidate the idea of polling per ce.
Totally agree that everything should be a byte stream. Even with Python 3.x text files are still confusing - if you open a UTF-8 file with a BOM in the front as a text file - should that BOM be part of the file contents, or transparently removed? By default, Python treats it as actual content, which can screw all sorts of things up. In my ideal world, every file is a binary file, and that if you want it to be a text file - just open it with whatever encoding scheme you think appropriate (typically UTF-8).

If you don't know the Encoding? Just write a quick detect_bom function (should be part of the standard library, no idea why it isn't) and then open it with that encoding. I.E.:

encoding = detect_bom(fn)
with open (fn, 'r', encoding = encoding) as f:
...

That also has the benefit of removing the BOM from your file.

Ultimately, putting the responsibility for determining the CODEC on the user at least makes it clear to them what they are doing -opening a binary file and decoding it. That mental model prepares them for the first time they run into, say, a cp587 file.

I understand why Python doesn't do this - it adds a bit of complexity - though you could have an "auto-detect" encoding scheme that tried to determine the encoding schemes, and defaults to UTF-8 - not perfect, as you can't absolutely determine the CODEC of a file by reading it - but better than what we have today - where your code crashes when you have a BOM that upsets UTF-8 decoder.

I finally wrote a library function to guess codecs and read text files, inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/a/24370596/1637450 and haven't been tripped up since.

But Python does not make it easy to open "text" files - and I know data engineers who've been doing this for years who are still tripped up.
I think there's different levels of "on demand". In this case, I think this is much slower level of "on demand".

I see two primary use cases of cloud:

1) You're a startup or just need something small, and want to focus on building your MVP, instead of messing around with colocated Linux servers. Cloud is much more expensive than those, but you don't care because you don't really need all that much, or maybe you are VC backed and have unlimited money.

2) You're a large company with broken internal processes. You can get server in company datacenter in three months after seven approvals (since it's capex), or you can spin up an EC2 instance. You don't care about cost since you have unlimited money.

Those are kind of medium scale "on demand" - not "I need 100 new servers right this minute" but "I need server in ten minutes intead of 'when I get to buy one' or 'in three months and 37 forms'".

In both cases, you're throwing money away, because time is more important for you than the extra money cloud costs.

I disagree with everything Trump says, does, and stands for.
'
But this is literally the only thing I won't short change him on.

He really does understand the base, the media and pollsters, and other the other candidates never really got that in the last election.

A LOT of politicians are willing to lie and fan those flames, but he has been more successful at knowing what lies to tell and really breaking new ground with his bullshit.

Does anyone think that a conspiracy theory invented by Rick Perry or Mitch McConnell would go viral or catch the public eye like one of Trumps half assed tweets?
Union[Duck, OtherDuck] is another nice trick you can use in case of ducks.
I've posted this article which is based on my personal experience, and I'd love to hear from all of you, what makes you better at coding? maybe even a better hacker?
Why is this the First Amendment issue? Trump was not blocked from tweeting. Twitter just added one small sign next to his tweets.

Even Trump owns his tweets' content and Twitter owns the rest of the webpage.
Well, yeah, I suppose it depends how loud you're screaming. I was imagining someone shouting as loud as possible, which you'd definitely get stopped for in many places.
Philly is super chill. My cousin took a small pay cut (same company) to move there. Pays $650 for a nice bedroom in 3b/3ba. Used to pay $1850 in manhattan.
> It is highly unlikely Trump could build a platform or co-opt one that has the reach of Twitter.

Thought experiment: if instead of posting on Twitter, he sent an e-mail to a few thousand journalists?

I never use or consume Twitter, but I see screen captures of things Twitter posts all the time.

Granted: one big thing this approach misses is the back and forth. I gather Trump re-tweets quite a bit of stuff, and responds to others. I guess that could be simulated via e-mail.

My point is that as far as his ability to be heard, I don't think Twitter is necessary.
they're not.
ECMAScript 4: The Missing Version
I thought that entrepreneurs-in-residence at VC firms are the equivalent of this idea of funding exceptionally capable potential-founders (many who seemed to have been past founders) with no ideas to execute in the current period.
That sounds healthier for the org internally but I don’t think I’d ever take the job because of the risk of stunting my career growth. Harder to move up the ladder at my next job if I don’t have a decent title at my current one.

The distinction is a bit artificial. I agree that Python's REPL is underpowered when compared with SLIME. But it's trivial to write up a bit of Python code in an editor, and just 'reload(modname)' or 'exec(file(...).read())' from the REPL. Emacs' python-mode (like many other editors) also supports "evaluate this expression / line / block" to make this process simpler. YMMV, but my Common Lisp development really doesn't look very different from my Python work.
That’s nice. Too bad there are laws and a constitution.
> Eh? Twitter bans accounts _all the time_. It hides stuff from search, and hides potentially explicit content behind an "are you sure you want to see this?"

Right, so why are they trying to claim that they are a neutral platform then, for legal purposes, when they very clearly are not one??

Twitter responds to any lawsuits by claiming that they are a neutral disinterested platform, when they very clearly are not. They enjoy the same legal protections as the phone company, when they obviously are not at all the same!
Great and then we will see even more echo chambers.

What people need is not another right wing echo chamber and not another left wing one either.

Twitter was that neural platform for a while where ideas clashed but now they risk the right splintering off and that is not a good thing for anyone.
I wrote the "assuming he could" preamble because I agree with you that he can't pull the trigger on Twitter.

And you're probably right about the atmosphere on Gab not allowing him to use that platform to get the same reach.

But Facebook. That's a platform with more subscribers than Twitter. Way more. 3 times as many in the U.S.

So, going with the premise that Trump was able to nuke twitter, how quickly do you think Zuckerberg is going to pick a fight with him if he decides to post there 30 times a day instead of at twitter? I'm not so sure all that much.
> what about other equally bad but smaller accounts

Twitter bans many other equally bad ... and many other much less bad accounts.
I am sceptical too but it's not an unusual idea to think that perhaps you can just put smart people together and they'll work something out.

God knows that much of that attitude is often lauded on HN for other things.
I also need an emulator, because I have native binaries

Unfortunately, there is only an aarch64 emulator for Android 7, which does not start on my system
I actually did something very similar when my application had to execute a python script on any old box and I was strictly forbidden to make any changes on the host machine. My application refused to start if python 3 wasn't found so I didn't have to deal with that mess. It ran bash, setup the venv, did python-y stuff, clean up the venv, take only pictures leave only footprints.
That made my curious about what Twitter accounts have the most followers. The top 10 are [1]:

1. Barack Obama, 118 million.

2. Justin Bieber, 111.

3. Katy Perry, 108.

4. Rihanna, 96.

5. Taylor Swift, 86.

6. Christiano Ronoldy, 84.

7. Lady Gaga, 81.

8. Donald Trump, 80.

9. Ellen DeGeneres, 80.

10. Ariana Grande, 74.

The next highest politican is Indian Prime Minister Modi, at #17 with 57 million. The Office of the Prime Minister of India is at #42, with 35 million. Obama, Trump, and Modi are the only politicians in the top 50.

The only individuals in the top 50 who are not those three or entertainers (counting athletes as entertainers) are Bill Gates at #22 with 50 million and Elon Musk at 47 with 34 million.

You're right - my comment was sloppy!

Still, given "20+ years of experience" represents all programmers of ages, say, 45-65 - or two decades worth of CS graduates - I feel that cohort far exceeds the market for principals? If you think it is smaller, maybe that's because everyone who wasn't in the top n% had to leave?

Although other commenters have pointed out that the growth of the industry counters that, that won't last forever!
Yes, however I'm pointing out that Canadian smugness is generally unearned.
If it has little to do with the recent twitter news, why is it signed today instead of last week?
It is exactly describing neutrality on truthiness. There literally is no other definition. You take no side on truth.

I wouldn’t, nor have I seen anyone, suggest that this is something to push for on every private business/platform/etc in existence. The point to be made is twofold:

1) Have the large social media platforms developed into general spheres of public discourse and thus have become central to ongoing function of public life? If so, then ANY active control over the narratives allowed on the platforms if is of critical concern to the function of Democracy.

2) Separate from point #1 which is broader than Section 230, is whether or not control over the narratives allowed on the platforms is equivalent to editorial moderation at publishers, changing them from being governed by Section 230?

To be clear, I don’t know the answers to either of these questions. But I sure as shit know that I would prefer major realms of public discourse to be free of some bull shit “arbiter of truth” controlling the presentation of people’s thoughts in them.
I don't know how it works for other people but I don't search for really great ideas, really great ideas find me. And once they latch on they don't let go.

Most things I would classify as "really great ideas" are emergent patterns in industries I know very well. Also, most of these are not abstract product ideas per se, you can usually see a direct and plausible path to generating large quantities of revenue and profit.
> it happens to be a private company with a bias

Political speech in public squares are what the First Amendment was written to protect. “Bias” isn’t an exception.
Good point, and I used to actually hold a stronger belief in things like that because to me they represent a larger-picture type of work that seemed more interesting.

BUT, ever since I exited out of that game to start my own business, my beliefs have been shifting. Now I can see exactly how successful businesses come together and make enough money to fill payroll, and there's no getting around the fact that real, valuable work needs to get done. And that only once the real work has been done, do you then get to have the nice byproducts of success which is to do public speaking, culture building, and etc all those extra-curricular things. But the existence of these extra-curriculars are predicated on having a successful business in the first place. And no matter how cynical anyone gets, you won't have a successful business based on /JUST/ bullshit empire building alone- you gotta do real work and provide real value.

I can also see more clearly now that if society doesn't have the right balance between doers and talkers, we're eventually gonna have nothing valuable to show for anymore, and the fallout from that won't be pretty.

When /everyone/ DESIRES to be talkers, instead of just a small minority, it's a worrisome trend.
Not a single person completely opinion free towards their own country's politics. If he favors trump's enemies that simply means they don't get fact checked (how things were), you can't over fact check, trump's every single tweet could (and should) be fact checked, he has nothing to worry about unless Twitter interprets his tweets for him. All they're doing is providing more information about disputed facts. Worst case: "Twitter doesn't like Trump so they provided links that dispute with what he said so that his followers have all the supposed facts before they make a decision".

It doesn't need to be transparent,unbiased or fair. Twitter tries to make it so in order to keep and expand userbase.
As the sibling commenter said, that project and kivy are geared to write android and ios apps entirely in Python.

My approach is different. I have most of the business logic in Python (I share lots of code between a web app and an Android app I have) and write the UI logic in the platform’s native language. This means the apps are always using native UIs and use the platform toolchains, and I can use all tools available natively on the platform.

Section 230 has very little to do with whether a corporation operating a media platform may exercise their free speech right to respond to such discourse.

I wouldn't take a paycut currently. However, I would take a job without a raise. I have found my personal equilibrium for effort vs income. I could make more money, but it would be with significant more work and time spent.

30%-40% sounds like a lot. But it depends if you are sacrificing luxury or saving and retirement.

The equation I used is:
income = monthly expenses + savings + retirement fund.
Looks interesting, thanks !
If you have, don’t take that as a reflection on remote work in general.

Currently, childcare is eating into a lot of people’s time. Roommates and children who wouldn’t normally being around are causing distractions. People have lost their social and emotional outlets and are stressed as hell, thus not sleeping or concentrating as well as usual.
> If enough people feel that it has a bias, and are discontent with it, they are free to start their own platform.

This is, of course, disingenuous. It's like saying, just a monolithic railroad company was about to bulldoze your house in the mid 1800s, "If you're discontent, you can always start your own railroad company." We're dealing with a complex system of interconnected motivations. "Start your own Twitter" is an anti-solution.
Dorsey is right to want to encourage broader discussion across the political spectrum on topics. But the current fact-checking approach is flawed as it requires human judgment, which is hobbled by people's biases and potential lack of topical expertise.

A better approach may be to offer a resource page that shows every news article on the topic, with guidelines on political leaning, how credible each article is etc so that readers can exercise their critical thinking to figure out what to believe. For example: https://story.thefactual.com/news/story/239362-Social-Media shows 285 related articles.

What is the alternative? I haven't seen Twitter be too heavy handed, I have yet to hear of a moderation activity on their part that seemed to go too far. If there is something to be frustrated about, it would be their double-standard for world figures that are allowed to violate their ToS with impunity.

I can't think of a single platform with a more hands-off approach than Twitter that hasn't become a toxic cesspool.
It wouldn't be China. In China there is truth, truth and only truth. The truth approved by government. US turns not into China, but into Russia, where there is no truth, only lies. Literally. Because the only way to categorize all sayings into truth and lies is to pick some political side and stick to it. One cannot believe to any authority: politicians, scientists, journalists, government officials... they are all lying. Some probably are not, but you have no ways to find out who is.
>Fair enough. But again you're basing your argument on conveniently skipping over the real question which is not "was there at least one fraudulent vote in America in the last 41 years?" (the question you're trying hard to answer over and over with "yes!").

>The question is whether it's a problem that has a material impact on our elections. Basically, is it really a problem? 1,285 instances over 41 years (and how many _billions_ of votes in that time period) makes the answer extremely obvious.

>It's funny because I am in favor of voter ID on principle alone. But you have to acknowledge the fact that voter fraud is a non-issue in practice. There are better arguments to make in favor of election integrity.

We're just going in circles here. Have a nice evening :)
> Newspapers hire and pay people to write for them

Newspapers also have zero obligation to convey the words of the President, and by frequently contextualise them.
I think this executive order is an abuse of power.

However, I do think Twitter could have handled it differently. For example, every time you're looking at posts from any blue-checked elected official, perhaps links could show up on the right hand side column for several fact-check websites. It would be nice to have arrangements with major newspapers, both left and right leaning, so un-paywalled news analysis can be one click away, too. This would help some people who truly want to be better informed.
Anbox is pretty much what you're asking for (Android running within a container), but as others have said, the emulator is very good.

This probably has to do with the publisher vs platform debate.

That means it is not about expanding government power but removing protections that the government granted to corporations.

I'll probably stay with Verizon, for coverage. I'm a trucker, all over the country, and it was common for t mobile to have no coverage where i was at the moment.

With Verizon it's actually rare to have no coverage, whether I'm in Wyoming or Brooklyn.

I assume "sprint + t mobile" will increase coverage mostly in cities.
Considering Google still has not produced a really popular language, and Oracle managed to revive Java, I would not be so sad about that.

By eyeball-hours, Fox is much bigger than Twitter among American audiences. Viewers tune into it for hours, on a daily basis.

What kind of regulation is it subjected to? It doesn't have to be neutral, and it has a legally-tested right to lie, and mislead. And that's for first-party content directly produced by it.
Twitter can fact check him behind door all they want. As long as Twitter does not alter the published content of specific users by adding editorial annotations, they deserve the Section 230 protection. As soon as they modified or editorialized user content, they are a publisher. Media publishing companies don’t have Section 230 protection.
The CAFC's ruling was only clear because of the amazing amount of 9th circuit precedent they left out, going off and making their own law for some reason.
Maybe businesses will have more incentive to produce actually 'fun' stuff for people to spend their money on, rather than more and more unnecessary status items.
What is and isn't fact is for people to decide by themselves based on evidence. Not whatever Twitter decides is the truth. There are very few hard facts in this world especially surrounding politics.
That would be an interesting concept. I like the idea of including them in Windows and macOS.
