My benchmark: Good execution of a 7 idea will beat bad execution of a 10 idea.

As mentioned, the idea isn't static. The idea is more of a process. And processes are driven by (quality of) execution, and team.

I'm not dismissing the value of idea. But it's generally over-valued. You'll do better starting with a good idea and making it better than you will waiting for a great idea.
Wow, that's actually a pretty relevant thing to point out

I know of and have used

```
<file.txt program | program1 | ...

And zsh does well doing all this, but honestly I prefer `cat` because I like each logical area to be separated by a `|`. I've tried and I've not succeeded to get rid of the `cat`, so you're going to have to wait for me to die.
I'm guessing he's mentioning it you're commenting in a DT thread to protect your personal info. One of the tools 'THey' like to use is Doxxing.
I'd be interested to see what a Court would say if Twitter decided to straight-up delete his account as a response.

Didn't the GOP just not a few months ago argue that a business couldn't be forced to make a Cake for a Gay wedding?

Now they want to argue that they can force a business (Twitter) to do something that business (Twitter) doesn't want to do?
All analogies across such different systems will be inexact, of course.

The headline about "Military Schools" is still completely misleading, from the paper who brought you "Saddam has WMD". Both stories fed to them, of course, by our security state.
You want to be Turbotax then!
I understand your point completely. I just wonder how much negativity bias plays a part here. Do we remember these instances of employees being overlooked for promotion more so because they produce strong negative feelings? I'm sure there is some truth to what you say, as I've seen it too.

I imagine there is also some (likely several) cognitive phenomenon happening in the meeting where these employees are considered for a raise. If my boss were to ask me my opinion in front of everyone whether we should promote someone or not, as a middle manager I may be expected to have an opinion, even if it's helpful or not. I also may be tempted to share that one bad memory of that person (negativity bias could be at play here, as well) so that I appear to be insightful and observant.

It sure is exhausting trying to figure out humans, but endlessly interesting. It's just hard when I'm only an "armchair-everything" and lack the data and/or knowledge to figure us out.
I live in Australia, so I can't trust my ISP either.
The disadvantage of an "all search" solution is that it presumes that you know what you are looking for. Some of the greatest value I get from my notes happens when I'm serendipitously browsing an old hierarchy, remembering connections I made before.

> Attaching a fact check link ONLY to Trump is a bit concerning.

You need to check your facts. Trump is whining about the first fact check link attached to one of his posts, but it's not the only one covered by Twitter's fact check campaign.
I agree, but there are many that object to anything the potus does by virtue of who he is, and what he stands for in thieir eyes. Its hard to argue in good faith with that camp. There are a few who think the status quo is fine. They are likely the same people making lots of money under the current arrangement and are having trouble seeing the forrest, but for the trees.

I hope this helps at least open new opprotunities for social media whose likes we have never seen before. Both better curation and more open-ness are potentially up for grabs. Surely this is only an opprotunity to anyone with a sharp mind.
There's something you haven't thought through all the way I can guarantee it
This sounds like you encountered corruption, not waste.
This isn’t about repealing section 230, it’s about enforcing it. Twitter is exercising editorial control over users’ posts. That makes them a publisher. I don’t like Trump either but I think he has a point here.
TLDR:

For users still running an earlier major macOS version like Mojave or High Sierra, the Software Update pane in System Preferences typically displays a prominent upgrade button for Catalina and a notification badge on the System Preferences icon in the Dock, but until now knowledgeable users have been able to hide those items by using the softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina" command in the Terminal app.

After updating to macOS 10.15.5 or Security Update 2020-003, this command no longer works, with Terminal displaying the following message: "Ignoring software updates is deprecated. The ability to ignore individual updates will be removed in a future release of macOS."

I had a phone a few years ago that did this. The back was glass and it just made it incredibly slippery against all other surfaces except for hands. The tiniest imbalance would eventually cause it to fall off of things. Pretty annoying; just have to be aware of it.
Eh, people in support work probably six solid hours very often. If there’s an outage or a problem, people in support can easily work 7 or 7 and a half hours of taking calls practically non stop.

And like you said, few people stick with it. Every place I’ve worked at, the Support department has extremely high turnover and people constantly trying to leave for a different department in the company, or a different role in a different company. Being constantly monitored, poor pay, not being able to go to company sponsored events (oh, at 2 PM we’re having a Zoom workout/meditation meeting, everyone is invited *except support they gotta stay on the phone), having to be above certain metrics, and having to talk to people that are generally neutral at best and extremely pissed at worst, is the perfect recipe for people to hate their job and to quit/leave the company/go to a different department ASAP.
If they make Twitter liable for content this way, Twitter will have to delete his account ;)
I don't disagree that policy is required, but expecting policy to correct problems is asking too much. Policy is there to provide guidelines, not create an exhaustive list of what is ok and what is not.

If we do not police ourselves, the government will do it for us. When law enforcement is expected to deal with everything, they become militarized. I'm not sure what this means for the internet.
Ya know, he's right: Now that the intelligence committee transcripts have leaked, we know for certain there was absolutely zero Russian collusion. If Twitter wants to fact check trump, fine, but you'd better do it to every other politician. Twitter has too much power to start judging one truth over another.
>He’s doing an end run around Congress using Executive Orders in an attempt to get what he wants now.

And you can thank the previous guy in charge for setting this precedent, that you can do whatever you want via Executive Order. I have little sympathy here.

>as the Constitution is written, he cannot force a private website to carry his speech

Not quite sure this is actually the question at hand. It's about choice of moderation is it not? In any case ... thankfully we have a Court system that is designed to handle these types of questions.

>There’s also the fact that repealing Section 230 would be absolutely detrimental to the internet.

Not following you. Maybe the social media and tech companies have to hire a lot more layers instead of bloating their HR departments. Probably a good development imo, since HR people like to pretend they work in tech but what they really do is bureaucracy.
Fellow vue! Which css framework did you use to create that animated look tough? Its really amazing
> Even C++ lets you store the address of the member function and lets you invoke it with an instance later.

Not for virtual member functions (not that I've been able to find). C++ is geared towards generating optimal executables. Since the type of the object is known at compile-time, the particular function used for that type is known, and the compiler will generate code that applies for it.

This is why C++ uses mangled names: to discriminate between identically named functions of different types and signatures.
The fundamental concept that is missing from this post is that it's not the billing method that determines the success of the business, it's the value you bring to your customers. The service provider isn't going to update anything if they shut down 6 months after launch.

`{key: val}` does look nice indeed, but then it takes more effort to replace e.g. `dict` with `Mapping`. Everything would look much nicer with Haskell-like syntax: `dict key val` or `list val`. Or maybe even prefer `{} key val` and `[] val` (no that doesn't look good, I agree).
I don't think that's quite right. From what I can tell, it seems like social media sites like twitter are being given two options, and they're being told that the middle of the road between those options isn't ok anymore.

First option, what you described. If they want to make comments about the content of their platform (i.e. fact check something) then they have to 'go all the way' and 'editorialize' everything. (No more Section 230 protection)

Second option, which I think still exists (I think?), don't make any comments about the content, and behave strictly as a platform. In that case, all legal protection under Section 230 still applies.

Idk if this is a decent analogy, but it seems comparable to the classic anonymous swiss bank account. Either the bank completely protects all personal information for everyone, or it has to move out of switzerland and give up all its anonymity. (I know the analogy isn't accurate, but it seems like a decent mental model.)
Unsafe at any speed.
Right, because all the people wanting this would do more than just go silent when the first bike explodes on someone it was donated to.

The reality is that it's a PR nightmare. One of them fails and all those advocating donations just instantly fall silent. It's like they were never there. And there'll be a massive furore over how these are being dumped on innocent people who were not properly informed, etc. etc.

Oh, I'm not saying you'll be part of the mob. Just that you'll walk away. That's why no one listens to the advocates who have no skin in the game. They are fair weather friends.

And then there'll be the lawsuits. And you either win those painfully or you settle (and everyone assumes you did because you're guilty).
This seems like a strawman - no one is getting banned from social media for having polite disagreements on foreign policy or income tax rates.
> I don't care what your "experts" have to say.

It's ok if you have your personal opinion on a subject.

What I don't understand is the relevance of your opinion on an entirely unrelated subject to the fascist backlash mounted by Trump just because a facts check link was attached to one of his tweets.
The exhurbs are hellish whether or not people use, because the land use is terrible and everything requires a car. (And aesthetic reasons that largely follow from the above, but which I could rant about at length.)

Just because there's no mass commuting doesn't inherently mean the exurbs are cured of that. People could still shuffle arround funneling roads making traffic to go to the mall. Every has lawns but no one has nature. Everyone is still isolated.

Traditional rural towns and villages are actually quite dense---you must discount the surrounding land. I mention the carbon tax because I think it's that or highwaymen needed to force people to clump up.

\[BTW, I think the variation is key: density should be "fractle" "scale-free" or whatever other similar buzz ord one wants to throw out. Everyone gets stairs and nature.\]
It's a valid point. Shouldn't the head of integrity not have a history of negative bias? That's impossible in practice, but jeez Louise this guy said some pretty offensive things. I think that in of itself should make him ineligible. There cannot be a double standard here.

You do not have a right to use Twitter. Currently, in the US, you do not even have a right to use the Internet. Twitter and ISPs may decide not to service you. As it pertains to Internet services specifically, these services are also allowed to moderate content that you post. You are not guaranteed a right for them to host your speech and show it to the world.

If you have an issue with how Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, et al. moderate content, you are completely free to create your own Internet service which you may moderate as you see fit.

The US government exists to insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare. The government is not interested in protecting the rights of citizens. Instead, it is the rights of citizens which are meant to protect us from the government. Other laws may dictate how businesses are allowed operate but the first amendment absolutely does not apply to private businesses.

I don't believe a model (neural network or otherwise) is capable of knowing that its predictions are correct.
One thing that needs to be stressed is the importance of monitoring your deployment [unmonitored security should be an oxymoron].

The author's diligence is impressive, and I am sure he learned a lot doing it (kudos), but of course for most users DYI toolchains are not the most cost-effective investment of resources. Just go with e.g. BIND 9.16 which has quite decent built-in key management.
I have worked for companies that used both. Based on those experiences:

Use Power RISC with AIX in established IBM user organisation that wanted to run Unix software so we ported existing software to AIX.

Use existing s390 system running several core systems, to run Unix partitions to deploy software already written for Unix in C.

I have never even heard of any company not already being an IBM account migrating to either of those systems. The capital and operating costs are typically far higher than for comparable performance x86 based deployments. Technical staffing is much harder still.
Hah, was thinking the same. There really is an opportunity to build a site out of this need. Not revolutionary, but a niche one can own
A year or so later, you think back "how did I accumulate a box full of Raspberry Pis?" And "I had no idea I had this many power supplies!"
Thanks for that topic its very interesting. It will take some time to digest.
Nevertheless, my answer explains why some people find a bit sad that today, people in most countries all seem to resonate with the exact same artistic expression. And that this expression which resonates with so many people involve lyrics like :

"My daughter a G, she saw me kill a nigga in front of her before the age of two"

Which to me don't really sound so happy. So if that is really what moves most of the world today, yeah I am a bit sad.
I agree that at least ultimately Congress and/or the courts need to consider the larger issue. Trump isn't demanding a retraction of a single comment, because the fact check itself isn't the problem. It's a symptom. It's just a "straw that broke the camel's back". People who insist on analyzing the straw rather than the whole load are not discussing the real issue.

The real issue is the extent to which Big Tech platforms can tilt a playing field that a billion people play on. Whether tilting the field to favor their own products, as the EU courts ruled, or their own political preferences or whatever else they want, heaven help you if you are playing against their favored team and have to play on their field. Death by a thousand bad ref calls.

Big Tech is big because of the network effects on the internet, meaning that for many things you want to do, there are lots of choices in theory but just one in practice. They own the whole league. You play on their tilted field or you "can always go start your own" league and play alone. (Google started their own FaceBook. Microsoft started their own phone OS. Now you go start your own Twitter.)

Congress and the courts need to look at these massive network-effects platforms that are claiming the rights of players and non-players and the responsibilities of neither.
The point of the order is to say “publishers” do not have Section 230 immunity and that Twitters actions constitute making it a publisher.

Fox News is already publisher under any reasonable definition.
I suspect that Trump "riles staffers" daily, so that's not news.

The CDA Section 230 is 24 years old, so "reformers" have had plenty of time.

I'm interested to see how this new EO is abused.
FWIW, I learned quite a bit from deadmau5' MasterClass, in terms of "general approach", "inspiration", and "very specific, immediately applicable techniques that I probably wouldn't find elsewhere". Maybe he's an outlier?

I had been producing music for 12 years when I took the class, and I had 30+ years of musical and recording experience to draw from. Also, I use the same software (Ableton Live) as deadmau5 did in the tutorial, so most of the technical elements were immediately usable.
The beauty of OpenFirmware is that it is extended with Forth, which is extremely compact (so could fit on small PROMs in the computer and fcode for addon cards). If you are designing a PCI card, you can write a bit of fcode that will run on SPARC and PowerPC for instance to expose opaque RAID volumes as bootable disks.

Keep in mind the PC BIOS was and is a complete tire fire, and uses something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_ROM to approximate support for the above. UEFI is a bit of improvement but massive and obtuse in comparison to OpenFirmware.
Stuff like this seems so... masturbatory.

Your writing something in python so speed is right out the window. Fine, I've written stuff in python too and it gets the job done. I like python. Why bother with functional programming just to stroke your CS wang with no tangible benefit/speedup for the end user? Security and Stability you say? That is literally a tacit admission that the advantage is in cloaking your own ineptitude at your job - writing stable, safe code.

This is why Lotus 1-2-3 on a 486 had a better, more responsive UX than your clever code in some abstract conceptual language build atop a raging dumpster fire with a modern PC that has multiple CPU cores and gigabytes of RAM.

When did CS become so... contemptible?

The activities / fragment portion of the SDK is not owned by the team that builds Android Studio and the broader toolchain.
This is very cool to see. The main takeaways for me were:

1. It's easy to underestimate what is possible when you limit thinking to a short timescale. I think of the cathedrals, temples, mosques, etc. that have been built all over the world, where the people who started the work knew they wouldn't live to see it finished, but that didn't dissuade them.

Or conversely, it's easy to overestimate the difficulty of something if you are too constrained by thinking in terms of finishing it relatively quickly.

2. Building things does make it easier to build things - and conversely, not building things makes it harder. There is a lot of architectural stuff in our world today, particularly fine masonry and woodwork, that is still common because so much of it was made up through the 1930's or so, but which is actually quite difficult to produce today because most of the skilled labor and the industry that supported it is gone.

This also reminded me of an article about scientific glasswork, which is similarly dying out[1], and of course more familiar to the HN crowd we know about old technology that was once common and now is difficult to replicate or maintain.

Lots to think about.

> And you can thank the previous guy in charge for setting this precedent, that you can do whatever you want via Executive Order. I have little sympathy here.

If you truly think that Obama invented the Executive Order or was the first to use them frequently, you are laughably misinformed. Use of Executive Order has been common for at least 150 years.
Right, but this means proposing signed exchanges as a solution to AMP's strategies is kind of nonsense, since it's a semantic problem whether a page is acting as a proxy for another, and a technological solution doesn't work here.
> (too) publicly played favorites lately.

So what? Why is that, of itself, bad?

My view is that private companies should not host and enable content that makes the world a worse place to live.

Places like Gab or Voat have their view of what is acceptable, and I disagree and condemn them for it. Places like HN have a code with which I largely agree, and I commend them for it.

I neither expect, nor desire, companies like to twitter to provide "freedom of speech." Not with the internet and web we currently have, whose technical design overwhelmingly favors bad actors.

I keep hearing doom and gloom about remote work from people that have been doing it less then 3 years...

After 20 years remote (try getting remote work in 2000ish!), I have had any of the awful downsides people keep _predicting_.

If you're interested in remote work, give it time, get used to the differences between on-site and remote, and plan accordingly...

For instance, if you got opportunities because you sat next to the boss or were the first person he saw coming out of a meeting - 'ping' him with a status update email on something when he gets out of 'the big meeting' - this way, you're the first 'virtual' person they 'see'
1. The political optics of this will never let it happen. Not withstanding those on the right and left who agree, but rather tech companies, their mouthpieces, and oh boy the lobbyists. Be thankful for your government, it's the best money can buy.

2. WAY easier said than done. The FTC started investigating Microsoft in 1992, but it was not until 2001 that the courts settled the matter and Microsoft settled. Nine YEARS. So no, this is absolutely not a top option for the administration because they've got only four years left.

3. Forgive me, I don't know where you are located, but this is kind of the mantra for America. Companies from Google to GAB to that decentralized network I can't remember the name of, have tried to compete. They can't - possibly because the companies are too powerful.

Oh, and it's not unconstitutional, unless you have a specific clause in the Constitution that I am not seeing? At best it's not within the boundaries of Executive Orders; banning guns is definitely not within the boundaries but the Left wants to do it anyway.
