At least it will bring up the larger discussion that the social media platforms are the de facto sources for news and information. Hopefully this will lead to a Senate evaluation of the roles that Twitter, Facebook, and Google play in dissimmination of information to Americans.
For starters, this is an election year.

Did you just assume their gender?
Ok. That was over 200 years ago, and it seems unlikely that smaller states are going to opt out of the union at this point. Why do they still deserve more voting power than populous states?
Yeah, well, Outlook is a different story. The Ribbon interface isn't really suited to a mail client, and Outlook has so much historical baggage that makes it ridiculously hard to use. I try my best to not use it, so I don't know how much it's changed.

But Word, PowerPoint, and to some extent, Excel? The Ribbon is really well thought-out and easy to use. It feels intuitive in a way that the old bloated menus never did. And the command search feature is actually really useful, and teaches you where a command is located so you can just go straight there next time.

That's not true, usually you'll get a message from the recruiter. You might not get interview feedback, but you'll know if you got turned down.

Even if you don't, you submit applications through a recruiting site, and it tells you the current status of your application. It'll tell you if the application was rejected.
> This turned out to be a really, really stupid thing to do.

Why? I certainly like our position in the world far better than where canada is. Apparently so do canadians as millions of them immigrate to the US where hardly any americans immigrate north. Wonder why?

> So... Canada got them.

And they got hongcouver - something they whine about all over social media.

> HongKongers are a unique breed. We would be wise to not repeat our past mistake.

If they are so special why did they get conquered by the british? Why did they stay conquered for 150 years. And why did they need china to finally give them "democracy" after the brits left. If they are so special, let them stay in hong kong and figure things out themselves.

In a world where the US has extremely high unemployment, you are advocating that we allow more people from china? No thanks. I'm feeling generous, let canada and australia have them all and get all the benefits.
Crew is probably a higher-end bulb.
They aren't allowed to opt out, well except for Texas.
This is crucial for doing machine learning as a team.
Counterpoint: the vast, vast majority of users never do any of that. I’m sure Google collects tons of analytics on how people use Chrome and the current design is tailored to fit the needs of the majority. Common functions like tabs, the address bar, and maybe bookmarks are front and center while everything is shoved into menus to declutter the top-level UI.

How do you test applications written with Htmx? Does it all need to be ui test harness (running in a browser), or can you unit test components somehow?

I'm happy you noted the test coverage for the library itself is reaching your standards. That's a great sign.
"appeal to his base" is the a reductive way to describe an enormous number of Americans. Overwhelming, even.
No this is not how Boeing has always operated. Boeing had a great engineering culture for most of its' history. A fundamental shift happened around the time that the company merged with McDonnell Douglas, a merger that was shepherded largely by the Department of Defense. Around this time began the "Financialization" of Boeing. The following is a good read on the shift within the company and how that new culture enabled the Dreamliner and the 737 Max debacles.

https://newrepublic.com/article/154944/boeing-737-max-invest...

Matt Stoller also talked about this cultural shift that enabled Boeings problems in an article a year ago.

How is it insane? Allowing SALT deductions at all allows states and municipalities to skip out on federal taxes by taxing themselves. That's money that isn't going into medicare, the VA, etc, etc, (thereby defeating the point of funding those things at the federal level) and instead is going directly into state/local coffers which defeats the point of having uniform federal taxes for funding federal programs.

I'm personally paying more thanks to the deduction cap but I understand the principal of it.
So, voting power is the best way to counterbalance the downsides of living in a small state?

I'd understand if someone proposed, for example, increased federal aid for smaller states that don't have as many support systems, but voting power seems like the wrong way to do this. (Same reason we don't use laws to fix inequality).

Gitlab, many other lesser known alternatives (such as the aforementioned sourcehut, although that has a different paradigm than github)

Facebook's flow is probably the closest. There's also dart, and many, many other languages that can compile to JavaScript.

Yarn is the obvious one (although it still uses the npm repo). Or you could leave node altogether and use deno. There are probably other alternatives.

(Neo)vim and emacs are both good options, although they have a steep learning curve. There's sublime text if you don't mind something proprietary. Probably others I'm less familiar with.

Woah this works really well! I love these handy little web projects. I just tried it with a random site on the front page:

Reminds me of the old Youtube Downloader "ssyoutube". I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist anymore, but all you had to do was prefix the Youtube URL with ss and it would take you to the download page.
Texas really isn't allowed to opt out either, they just like to pretend they are.
By this logic, all policy and political decisions would be made by California, Texas, and New York. The point is not to give more voting power to anyone, but you equalize.
Sorry, do these data points prove that votes cast by mail are not "less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised & more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth"?
Out of curiosity, how long the process took until the deal was signed?
ReasonML is a pretty decent choice. Small learning curve, JS interop, fast compilation, functional goodies.

Plus a thing called "Structural typing" that gives you the flexibility of dynamic typing without losing the guarantees from static typing.
Because Hillary Clinton lost ?
The article cites the figure of 7 Amazon worker deaths as of 5/20. No idea if that's accurate, but we can come back to that. As of 5/20 the USA, population 330,000,000 had ~93,000 COVID-19 deaths. If we take a guess that Amazon, who has ~1 million worldwide employees, from the most recent numbers I can find, has 500,000 employees in the USA then we can do a simple comparison.

5 / 500,000 = 0.000014
93,000 / 330,000,000 = 0.000282

0.000282 / 0.000014 = 20.14

So, according the publicly available numbers, as of a week ago the average US Amazon employee was 1/20th as likely to have died of COVID-19 as the average US resident. Now, you might argue that perhaps Amazon is covering up some numbers in hopes of looking good, but they'd have to be covering up 134 deaths to even get to parity with the general population.

> If you are writing an application in Javascript, soon you will have to worry about memory leaks.

What? No! Memory leaks are impossible in fully garbage collected environments. A memory leak is when you manually allocate memory and loose the pointer, thus making it impossible to access the memory. (Because there's no pointers in Javascript, there's no memory to leak.)

What's happened is not a memory leak, it was an unregistered event handler. These are best diagnosed with profilers, not gymnastics with weak references. (It's not a memory leak because there is still a valid reference through the event handler, ie, no lost pointer.)
You don't even need a SMTP server. Just make direct socket connection to the MX server. It will definitely end up in their spam folder.

And by that, I take it that it requires ESM module support from the browser, so it really is for development purpose and cannot just be kept used in production that requires wider browser support.
I agree with everything you're saying and every single point you're trying to make here, but, as someone who's been on the other end, your responses are exactly why people hate posting about this stuff publicly. He doesn't have the authority to speak on it (alone) but you trapped him into accidently saying something he wasn't trying to say (in fact he only said it to be nice and reply to your question - which he had no obligation to even acknowledge). There was nothing he could have said that would have made you (or me or any of us on HN) happy, no information he was allowed to give out, but on his own volition he chose to respond to and validate your questions, and you reacted by saying "Aha! I got you now!"

That said, it seems likely to me that if this somehow stopped advertising revenue, it would have been fixed before HN even noticed. "No way to fix it for at least a few days" seems very untrue, that department just isn't lead by someone who cares enough about this issue to make it happen. It's not the tweeter's fault, though.
Is that so different from the Omegaverse case? The earlier authors aren't claiming copyright infringement there (that might actually make for a novel case), the case is being fought between two authors both inspired by the same source material.
Overwhelming = under 25% of the US population that voted for him in 2016? Even among registered voters only it's still under 50% - how is that overwhelming?
No, it doesn’t work like that, corporations will only FactCheck people they disagree with.
From what I read the "757-Plus" comments have been widely miss-understood: Boeing is looking at developing a new plane in roughly the same market segment as where the 757 was sitting. They are not looking at restarting the 757 production.

The interim airliner would be an enhanced 767, that is still in production (although not as a passenger aircraft).
This most recent change is just a bug in Image Search, at least based on the tweets I read. The extension seems to inspect the AMP article's URL and HTML, both of which are outside the scope of Image Search: https://github.com/da2x/amp2html
A lot of people don't like the idea of these social media (i.e. ad-tech) companies trying to influence public opinion, especially when these platforms initially billed themselves neutral parties.
I want to see an actual statistical analysis of how many of Trump's "threats" on social media/Twitter have resulted in genuine legislative action. I remember a few years back now my alma mater (UC Berkeley) getting extremely upset of Trump threatening to withhold "federal funding" for the perceived anti-conservative action of canceling some trashy public speaker shill whose name now escapes me.

Parcel's incremental build is < 100ms, so I'm not sure how SnowPack feels any better for me.
There was plenty of voter fraud, like when he was 'elected' but all the ballots were destroyed in an unreasonable quick time frame. Then there were the precincts with more than 100% voter turnout.

Free speech means you have the right to express yourself. It does not mean a private company is at all required to give you a platform... They can moderate content as they choose.

As far as tagging an individual user account in this way, I'm sure there are provisions for that in the TOS that Trump agreed to in order to use the site.

On a legal level, I can't imagine anything has been done wrong. On an ethical level, the only problem I see so far might be that Twitter is taking it upon themselves to be fact checkers, and personally I don't mind so far, I think the public benefit probably far outweighs any negatives.
> That it’s a bad idea to put multimedia apps on the web?

Yes? Obviously? The only reason Flash ever worked for anything useful (-ish depending on your opinion of video games) was that it was in practice isolated from the rest of the web browser. Javascript... isn't.

> Regardless of the context of this case, it's odd that the state can now seemingly force someone to engage their creativity and artistic sensibility for any reason.

No, the state (because the citizens wanted it that way) can merely require you to treat people the same regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation if you are offering services to the public. If you offer services to the public you can't pick and choose based on that criteria. You're free to create whatever you like, for whomever you like, if you're not a public business. Plus you can still refuse services to lawyers, people without shirts or shoes, or people who indent with spaces if you're a public business.

I fail to see how the state not enabling bigotry in services offered to the public constitutes oppression.
most people don't vote. but they still support Trump. They would support any republican candidate

Trump to sign executive order on social media amid Twitter furor
This comment thread is full of people who A) decide not to say anything, probably because they are not sure and B) very vocal people who are extremely sure that the other side is completely corrupt.

I feel like the polarization is harmful.

Interested to hear any background like why he would say the mail in is full of fraud or something and why people are so sure it is not.
In my original GP comment above, I was describing actual, recent rulings until the "nuh uh 1st amendment!" comment.

And I wish you were right. That was how I always read it too but we've found out repeatedly - and recently - that state & local governments (and state universities) can ban numerous things, contrary to the 1st Amendment.
I understand that. I’m not asking for these jobs and small startups to match FAANG level pay. I just want transparency. There’s a big difference between $50k and $150k and both are still well below FAANG pay. Just be upfront is what I’m saying.

Twitter has been the best thing to happen to my life in awhile. It has directly led to opportunities and people that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

Maybe this is an ML thing, though. The Twitter ML community is much tighter-knit.
Plus, if they are doing front-end stuff, it's my understanding that ReasonML will also output native code, which should theoretically go a long way to making a OS-native app significantly easier right?

I really doubt it was it. Sonarr was one of the topics we talked about during the first meeting at Microsoft Vancouver.

Good question, I had to think about it for awhile. I think it would take some elaborate mental gymnastics to try to redeem the read example. The read example is sort of like an appeal to a higher-power oracle. It isn't self-contained; it wouldn't work in the REPL.

As a compromise, one could imagine a quine which works by writing programs to disk and then reading those programs (as opposed to reading itself). This would be kind of silly, since the same data could be written to/read from RAM much easier.

Nothing strange about it. People with agenda all want censorship when it suits them. This entire thread is chock full of left-wing rage machine defending censorship just because it suits their ideology.

Left-wing rage machine and right-wing rage machine are ultimatel the same thing. They want control and obedience.
> We also don’t “value some people’s votes more than others.”

This stance just ignores the facts of electoral college vote allocation as well as the related and probably much more important existence and power of the Senate. The rules that define the federal government intentionally discount the contributions of millions in the most populous states. It's a crime that would have been rectified decades ago were it not explicitly written into the Constitution (see Baker v. Carr).
Twitter should just ban Trump.. seems straightforward. He breaks all their rules.
I'm trying to get sponsored by Funyuns, so I'd need to be eating them at work.
> The law is basically word salad.

I don't disagree.

> the idea of Twitter and other social networks being utilities isn't something I invented

Fair enough. I don't blame you. I just don't think it's easy or reasonable to overload the word "utility" as applied to content, which is exactly why it's currently governed by Section 230 and not Common Carrier.
Big citation needed on who of non-voters support Trump. Most opinion polls that include anyone (not just registered voters) still have Trump's approval at 40ish percent the past 4 years.

If you say all polling is invalid/not representative, where are you getting your numbers from?

And again, what makes this overwhelming?
I dont know how they pulled off the Wild Oats [1] [2] acquisition years ago - or if things were just as bad back then, because I didn't shop at Whole Foods in those years.

But I wish we had a greater array of upmarket or upmarket-adjacent stores that carried fresh & nutritious offerings that you didnt have to label-check twice before buying.

There must be something fundamentally wrong with grocery store margins in the US ( or just in California ) that no one seems to be able to make a buck consistently to keep standards high.

I hear great things about Wegmans & they've been forever in the mid-Atlantic states. Its telling they havent chosen to set up shop in California despite plentiful metro areas that could support such fare.

I never really thought very expensive California real estate markets would be the places for future food deserts but we're nearly there.

Code being copied isn't an issue. I knew full well what it meant to release something opensource and I don't regret it one bit. What was copied with no credit is the foundation of the project. How it actually works. If I were the patenting type, this would be the thing you would patent. ps. I don't regret not patenting anything.
And I don't mean the general concept of package/app managers, they have been done a hundred times. If you look at similar projects across OSes, Homebrew, Chocolaty, Scoop, ninite etc; you'll see they all do it in their own way. However, WinGet works pretty much identical to the way AppGet works.
Do you want to know how Microsoft WinGet works? go read the article (https://keivan.io/appget-what-chocolatey-wasnt/) I wrote 2 years ago about how AppGet works.

I'm not even upset they copied me. To me, that's a validation of how sound my idea was. What upsets me is how no credit was given.

That's true, I agree that this is a better option.
If the majority of the populations are in these states, why should they not be the primary drivers of political decisions? This won't magically ignore the other states, it simply means a the majority of the population would actually have control of their government - this is a bad thing how exactly?
Here’s the thing: most of us here don’t really care about left or right. We care about good and bad ideas. And for the most part, the Republicans espouse really bad ideas, so bad in fact, that reasonable people vocally call them out on these bad ideas. You and others misperceive this attention as “bias”. Why? It’s simple.

Studies of conservatives show that they prefer authoritarianism and unquestioning loyalty over competency and expertise. When their loyalty to an idea, a leader, or a political ideology is questioned, it undermines their worldview. So the “bias” you are really describing, is just good old fashioned critical thinking, which by its very design, confronts and questions authority, and upholds values of openness, tolerance, and free inquiry—the bane of conservatism.

All you have to do is come up with good ideas. It’s that simple.
