Twitter is the place where the entire media and political classes hang out. They're all addicted to it. These people's opinions shape real-world politics and election outcomes.

Could that be a 'limited public good'? Due to the network effects, it seems like only one website at a time would hold this status.

> "how does evolution work so well to create the appearance of design?"

Evolution doesn't create the appearance of design any more than airplanes create the appearance of a gigantic bird. To an isolated Amazonian tribe, an airplane may indeed look like a giant bird, but that's only because they aren't familiar with modern aerodynamics - they cannot conceive that something that's not like a giant bird can be flying up so high, so they mentally equate airworthiness with bird-likeness.

Taking someone all the way through the interview process, then ghosting them, is doing something wrong.

Add in the fact that they had planned on buying his app outright told him they would hire him instead to speed up the process, and it's an especially crummy thing to do.
Thanks for this post. I checked Fraidycat out and it solves many issues that I consider broken with social medias these days. Your personal website made me incredibly nostalgic and almost depressed, longing back to a simpler time in my life.

Both of your projects will serve as inspiration for myself. Your personal site especially as it feels creative and liberated, things I strive for in my personal life.

Thank you.

I've always had an issue with the "people should buy ugly food" argument. It strikes me as being somewhat elitist, and I have my doubts that the people making this argument actually follow through themselves and pick the ugly food at the supermarket, or really know if actually makes any difference.

I feel like I am doing the right thing by buying fruit and vegetables instead of processed food. Do I now need to make further consideration and question the impact of my choices because I am ignoring the ugly apples? Humans developed a highly sophisticated discernment of fruit quality for a reason.
"Insightful" is going to be subjective, but I would say it's insightful enough to be worth addressing, why not have separate websites for the different audiences, since they have different needs. The parent of my linked comment said it in a less trollish, not-obviously-false manner:

>My question is why use the web at all? Surely there's an easier way for a blind person to access an information or send data to an API than through an HTML web page.

Totally agree on the general importance of accessibility.

I have actual 3174s with FICON attach for my 9377 and z800. Also have a Memorex-Telex 3174 clone. They are interesting machines in themselves. It's appropriate to think of a mainframe as a distributed system of sorts, where these controllers are distinct systems that participate with the mainframe CPU over channel I/O and offload most of the terminal handling functionality.

What's actually interesting is that they have some world-top cryptographers and security researchers (e.g. invented AES and SHA-3). So part of that money goes to academia, and with good results :) The government agencies are lagging behind though.

Parser combinators allows one to take the large problem of parsing a language, decompose them into smaller, solvable problems of applying grammar rules, and then compose the solution together via combinators. This is a simple-yet-powerful approach that I wish were more prevalent in other areas of software engineering. Most tools that we know and love (e.g. regex) aren't composable enough.

While I haven’t read the announcement from Microsoft, it seems to me that the core issues he had were in the downplaying of AppGet and overall lack of attribution, compared to other package managers with less influence:

> But the part that hurts the most was the announcement. AppGet, which is objectively where most ideas for WinGet came from, was only mentioned as another package manager that just happened to exist; While other package managers that WinGet shares very little with were mentioned and explained much more deliberately.

He also mentions that he would’ve appreciated better communication. It doesn’t seem to have been about being “entitled to revenue sharing”. He divorced himself from that completely:

> Am I upset they didn’t hire me? Not really, after visiting the campus, I wasn’t too sure I wanted to work for such a big company, also moving from Canada to the U.S. wasn’t something I was too excited about.

And

> I didn’t create AppGet to get rich or to become famous or get hired by Microsoft.
He needs to stop seeing ideas and concepts as “his” that are property that can be stolen.

Where do you see that in the post? His pretty reasonable expectations are a bit of common decency from the other side - following up on emails and a smidgen of credit. There's no entitlement to ideas or claims anything was stolen.

The gaming industry has move (largely) away from exclusives and that has been a net improvement for content.

I suspect the pendulum will swing away from exclusive content for television shows. Producers might make more money up front from the deals, but the long game favors those who establish brands with broad market appeal, and the way to do that is to get your content in front of as many eyes as possible.

> Thirdly, if a social media platform is a vehicle for communication by elected officials, should that platform be allowed to limit citizen's access to said politician. I believe the courts already ruled twitter cannot deny people access to trump's twitter. But I'm not sure.

How does this square with the fact that Donald Trump regularly blocks people from viewing his Twitter account for disagreeing with him or refusing to acknowledge his (apparent) infallibility? Is that not a much more egregious violation, and by an actual government official to boot?

I grew up drawing Flash animations in high school just as a hobby. I probably did hundreds of short animations over the years, things like the popular Stick Fight animations.

To this day I've never found any drawing/animation tool I'm comfortable with, which means I rarely draw anymore which means my drawing skills are getting worse which means I draw even less.

I'm not sure how much of that is just the realities of getting older vs the actual change in tooling, but it's definitely fuel for some nostalgia.
even proximate results being selected is intentionality. i.e. i select a more simple design, then one with an interesting whorl, then one that looks like a bug. all that is intentional. or his example of butterflies selecting butterfly like biomorphs. again intentional, but at the insect level

That's because they have experiences, the experiences from past failures. I don't think that's anything wrong.
The GPL has been used successfully in courts of law. It’s not common as most violators just open source when called out, or settle when sued, but it has worked before. A famous example is D-Link using the Linux kernel in their routers. After a lawsuit in Germany, D-Link had to release their changes.[0]

I don’t understand this idea that a license that the author willingly released his code under is unenforceable, but EULAs are?

I'm a PhD in clinical psychology, currently working with clients, whose research has focused on the psychometric evaluation of questionnaire measures.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The diagnostic criteria are not "very broad because they are necessary as tools". The diagnostic criteria are meant to be sufficient criteria for diagnosing a disorder. Questionnaire-based measures act as a scientifically validated proxy for a clinical interview to determine this. With a sufficient score on one of several validated diagnostic questionnaires, you can typically say with 80-90% certainty (specificity is the technical term for that percentage) that the person would receive a diagnosis from a clinical interview.

Psychologists and epidemiologists can and do research prevalence of mental health conditions by randomly sampling the population. This does not "over-diagnose" mental health disorders. That's absolute nonsense. Over-diagnosis is only an issue in cases where prevalence is below the false positive rate (technical term is "sensitivity") of the test. That is not the case here.

If you looked at the linked CDC study, they even mentioned the instruments that were used to support this statement. The PHQ2 and GAD2 are validated very brief measures of depression and anxiety that are sufficient for estimating the likelihood of a depression or anxiety diagnosis respectively. Likelihood of a false positive on the PHQ2[1] and GAD2[2] are both around 20% (100-specificity), which is just fine. Both of these are more than sufficient for epidemiological purposes if not for individual Dx.

The fact of the matter is that nationwide prevalence for diagnosable disorders IS high, and it's on the rise. Coronavirus has made people anxious and quarantine has made them depressed. And a LOT of people need help.

Twitter is not a private company, it's a publicly tradable company that can technically even fully be owned by the Chinese government itself through perfectly legally buying their shares on the open market.

You don't see a problem here?
Google is incredibly good at this. I see maybe 20 false negatives a year (they usually get corrected if I don't check my mail for a few hours) and 1-2 false positives. This out of thousands of good emails and 100,000+ spam mails.

That said, I think it's good to keep the "spam" folder. I normally only check it if I learn through another channel that I should have got a mail, I don't "browse it every few days" as some others suggest.
I think that the market for the Cybertruck is the Burning Man/offroad desert campout guy. I'm sure Elon is/knows a lot of these guys, since the Mojave is just over the hills from LA. It's perfect for this application.

It has huge ground clearance, the paint doesn't get screwed up when you scrape it on some brush, the bed is big enough to hold dirtbikes, and they are easy to load/unload with the included ramp.

You can sleep in the bed and it's covered, but not like a normal bed cover that creates a coffin like compartment, or a camper top that doesn't let you load tall items.

Not having access from the sides is a lot less of an issue than it used to be. With a new full sized 4x4, only very tall people can reach much in the bed from the sides anyhow. If you're going to give that up, you might as well go big and provide huge enclosed cargo volume. The ramp makes it much easier to just walk into the bed while carrying heavy items rather than loading from the sides.
I think you're ignoring the meaning and history of the word "epic". For one thing, it comes from a time when cities and armies were thousands instead of millions, and for another, it just never was based on some specific numeric scale.

One description is:
"...involving a time...in which occurred the extraordinary doings of the extraordinary men and women who, in dealings with the gods or other superhuman forces, gave shape to the moral universe for their descendants...to understand themselves as a people or nation"

I'm the designated shopper in my family, since my wife has higher risk factors for COVID-19. Usually when we go shopping, I push the cart and pick the obvious items, but leave most of the picking to her because she's very specific in what she wants.

But now I have to do it.

I totally sympathize with the Instacart shoppers. Even with direct access to my wife via text including pictures, it's still hard to find exactly what she wants, and it takes a long time and a few passes through the store.

They're not getting paid enough to care or do it right. Instacart needs to pay their pickers a lot more if they want it done right, but then of course they don't have a viable business model anymore.
I was just trying that, it seemed not to be working for some reason.

I manually copy-pasted the source code into my app, and got:

But I believe it should be

xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')

I don't want free martek experimentation here. Freedom and promotion of speech has massive effect on society and politics of the day. It's massively inappropriate to put market forces and wallstreet quarterly reports in charge of it.
You’re putting words in the author’s mouth, because that doesn’t seem like the problem.

The problem was “the slow and dreadful communication speed” and “the total radio silence at the end”, and:

> [T]he […] announcement. AppGet, which is objectively where most ideas for WinGet came from, was only mentioned as another package manager that just happened to exist; While other package managers that WinGet shares very little with were mentioned and explained much more deliberately.
Sounds like a great time to be alive!
I'm referring to this statement:

Should we not care about something that gets removed from Twitter because the French or German or Chinese government didn't want it there?

I love how those stories of the early years are so different from what I think of looking at companies today -

> Jeff picked me up at the airport, and we drove to Microsoft's main building where we were joined by Neil Konzen, a talented 23 year old who was Microsoft's main systems programmer on the Macintosh. I knew Neil from his days as an early Apple II hobbyist, when we collaborated on adding features to an assembly language development system when he was only 16.

Just... "Microsoft's main systems programmer on the Macintosh" is such a weird sentence to read today. On the other hand, Microsoft also shipped Xenix, a full-on licensed Unix™ OS before they shipped DOS.
Yes, exactly. O(n) means that as n (the number of files in the projects) grows, so does the runtime complexity. O(1) means that as n grows, the runtime complexity remains constant. In this case, they're always using an input of size n=1, but this doesn't make the algorithm itself O(1). By calling this an O(1) operation, they imply that you could rebuild your entire project at the same rate you can rebuild a project with just one file changed. This is misleading and untrue, which is why it's not peedantic.

It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't on a technical page like this where this distinction can have large implications (such as the one above). When I read that it was O(1) I drew conclusions that were both very favorable to snowpack and also completly untrue. It'd be like if you said you drove a truck but you actually drove an accord. It's probably fine to say that 99% of the time, but it could cause issues if you say it to your mechanic because they'll conclude things from what you said that might not be accurate.
Whole Foods stinks. I used to shop there a lot but, as the years went on, their employees became more clueless and apathetic, the checkouts became very slow, and the food from the hot bar got really bad. I mean like they add too much salt and everything has no flavor, which is weird because they seem to have no problem adding sugar to things, yet somehow their food kinda tastes bad to me now. Maybe I've changed. IDK

Plus, the worst thing about Whole Foods stores is the layout. Whole Foods stores tend to be laid out in such a way that there are shelves and bins that are effectively obstacles you have to dodge, turning the shopping experience into a human pechinko machine. I know they think this will get people to buy more, but it makes me not want to come back because it's so unpleasant having to try and serpentine around their bins of stuff and get stuck behind people half the time.

Lousy store experience is one reason why I don't want to go grocery shopping in general, and it's why I am much more likely to patronize a grocery store with self checkouts.

Except for Sprouts, which I love despite their lack of self checkouts. It's probably the only grocery store I genuinely like visiting.

Depending on who you ask, ideas are still protected by intellectual property laws. Patents are a good example.
As company you should do bug bounty but in addition, not as replacement of doing your own testing.

The reason: Bug bounty is fundamentally favoring the companies that sign up. They pay next to nothing for getting a lot of eyes on their site and here and there a valuable find will be made.

Rewards should probably be much higher, like 10x I think to attract better researchers.

Also, the latest invention of private programs, where testers aren't even allowed to talk about it or share finds after is a joke as well - it's all just in favor of the companies. The basically buy the researchers silence, e.g. they can dismiss a find and don't pay and just say oops duplicate.

For someone skilled and interested in infosec there are better ways to make money.
