Adopting Erlang: New Chapters Released about Building an Erlang Team
I'm not a republican, but people on this site might have a hard time making the distinction, so here's my take:

1. These protections shouldn't be necessary in the first place. The first amendment should make most copyright enforcement, libel suits, etc. illegal. Of course, that's not the world we live in.

2. Freedom of association (being able to turn people away from your business) is absolutely a fundamental right, but I have zero sympathy for progressives when they get screwed on this, because they've done more than anyone in US history to eliminate freedom of association. They made this bed, now they have to lie in it. When you give the government the power to force people to work with parties they don't want to, obviously that's going to turn around and bite you in the ass at some point when you lose control of the institutions that decide how you're allowed to choose who you work with.

So, on net, this sucks and I wish it was very different, but I have no sympathy whatsoever for the people who brought this upon themselves.
A common approach would be that the code you're testing / playing with is defined in a file somewhere, and reloading that file resets the REPL state sufficiently to iterate on your tests. e.g. if it does rely on external state, the reload will re-initialize that state. Morally similar to the setup instructions in a unit test.
The idea is that it would be impossible for Twitter to remove every single Tweet that's libelous, threatening, etc., and so the only way to avoid being sued is to not remove _anything_. That ends up being a policy that is favorable to people who want to spread disinformation.
what's wrong with 4chan apart from /fit?
Maybe I used that word wrong. I just meant someone who's strongly on one political side. Those things mostly go together in a two-party system though.
it's prettier than pinboard, but that's almost a bad thing, in that pinboard's game is "brutal practicality even if we have to do it web 0.9 style"

what's the API like?
Good point. It would be some fraction and not everyone. It just occurred to me that I follow him on Twitter, but would never create a Gab account. Hell, I don't log into Facebook anymore, and he wouldn't be enough of a reason to start doing that again.
That's because these companies function in a way that is between the private and public sectors, and are getting more so. There are plenty of precedents for this, e.g. utilities, and the way we generally address such gray areas is regulation. It's interesting in this case that the side that usually calls for regulation is citing the arguments of the side that's usually against it, and vice versa. (Corollary: no one actually has any principles about this. People care only about their side and pivot like a weathervane depending on its interests. Is there even a single example to the contrary? That would truly be a mutant.)
Instrumentation is huge too...

I had a bug with the webcam on my Razer Blade which I was able to fix on Linux because it was open-source. It was a pretty simple patch and I submitted it as a patch to Linux.

I had a bug with USB devices on my Mac and I had to go back and forth with Apple support for 2 weeks and ended up returning the device.
Why do you think Twitter is a public space. Your use of twitter is governed by agreeing to its T&C’s. You agree to them when signing up and violating them will result in bans.

Because a) most people don’t know her by name b) her name is not my reason for recommending the article but rather the combination of her part affiliation and position, and c) I’m on my phone and it makes referencing articles a pita.

does anyone know a simple app that allows hyperlinking within notes? I want to create a roam-style knowledge base, but most tools are too heavy for my purposes. I prefer to keep things cross-compatible and future proof with .txt or .rtf, but to my knowledge, neither allow hyperlinking to documents
I'm surprised at the number of downvotes. I feel like my position is self-evident. In my view, either a corporation is a person under the law, in which case this is indeed taxing income when it hits a person; or a corporation is not a person and should not be able to assume sacrificial liability for those controlling it.

However, I recognize that what may be self-evident to me may not jive with others' perspectives. Would any of the downvoters care to elaborate as to why, in their view, a corporation should be a person for some purposes but not a person for taxation purposes?

One could argue the one lie by a public figure, given a large enough following, can translate into a lie repeated a billion times by main street users. It's certainly less probable when the lie is sourced in the other direction.

As one of those who don’t have the leadership skills, as you put it: we couldn’t wait to get as far away as possible from those of you who feel some need to be influencing, leading, and unnecessarily bothering us because you want to “look us in the eyes”! Remote work is indeed going great for us.
No, we're more productive and focused. Small team of five people. 2.5 technical.

However "post hoc ergo procter hoc" aware: we dropped many projects with unreliable partners that consumed a lot of my mental resources and distracted me from our core product. Dropping these projects made me more focused and back in the game.
“Neutrality” seems pretty obvious: don’t assume as the platform that you are able to tell “facts” more accurately than those participating and thus take no stance on the truth of the statements made by participants.

You aren't describing "neutrality" you are describing "feigning ignorance". And even if this could be considered "neutral" why is that something to push for (not just on Twitter but on every private business/platform/etc in existence) and what does this have to do with the law in question?
And we need to consider this. By Twitter's ToS, he should have lost his account a long time ago.
Curious, what applications need web midi?
Lots of anti-remote work suddenly.

Remote work means companies can get the best people for that company anywhere.

Remote work means life changes can happen and you can retain the best people for that company. With jobs and life, changes happen, people move, have families, want to be close to family, want to change scenery, get a new significant other, go to school, buy a house, all of these things can mean you might have to quit if you have to physically always be in the office.

Even when companies have remote/different city offices, virtual communication is very important anyways.

Clients and customers are almost always remote with some sprinkled in meetings but mostly virtual communication and communication through the work.

Companies would be wise to switch to remote first thinking and processes with a focus on virtual communication and a nice to have of physical meetups, integration sessions etc.

Remote work helps companies focus on their external view not just their internal machinations.

For truly unique talents and workers, location has never really mattered.

The world is virtual and remote now, the companies that perform well in that and with their external view, not internal view, and do the best virtual communication will win, and not just in tech.
Trump’s Plan: Break the Internet to Suppress the Vote
Same. I've got a purpose built office in the garden I built for my wife and I five years ago.

We've got wired internet, power, whiteboards, sofas, variable desks, multiple monitors, it's great.

But we built our business fully remote back in 2014, we've been doing this forever now. While our work colleagues are in their kitchens or on their sofas. It's not sustainable.
I put together a Twitter Q-sona. I followed a bunch of prominent and not-so-prominent Qanons.

The way I understand it, they are not censoring people, the people claiming to be "shadow banned" and "twitter deleting my followers" and "I get no traction on my tweets", are misunderstanding Twitter, or technology, or both. There's a huge misunderstanding of how large twitter is, how many tweets flow through, and how many people are tweeting. My understanding is based on personal research. What's yours based on?
Are other types of interfaces copyrightable? I think that should be what sets the precedent.

For example, would I be able to create an airplane with the same cockpit layout (same button/lever positionings, etc) as Boeing so that pilots don't have to learn a completely different layout to fly Umvi brand planes?
I have a personal desk with two monitors and a laptop arm... I set up my desk with a KVM (just a USB switcher) for the keyboard and mouse and two HDMI switchers.

Three clicks and all of my IO is routed to the work laptop and that allows me to separate cleanly from work. Before work-mode is engaged, I put my Windows workstation to sleep and I bring it out of sleep right after switching all of my IO back.
Jack Dorsey has responded to this question multiple times in several places-- I heard him address it in the Making Sense podcast by Sam Harris some time in the past year. He seemed to show a firm grasp of the nuances involved.

Here is a quote from him: "Blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial Tweets would hide important information people should be able to see and debate,” [...] “It would also not silence that leader, but it would certainly hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions.”

He apparently feels there will be wider discussion from all parts of the political spectrum if things are left as they are. Should Trump move to a platform where he has more control over the format, it might just make it easier for him to suppress or obfuscate dissent.

I don't know if Dorsey is making the right call here, but he has clearly thought about it a lot, and discussed those thoughts publicly.
I concur with both and I made the switch along then because my atom was unbearable (although heavily loaded with probably unneeded extensions).

But VS Code has been a smooth experience since then.

I only brought it up because it certainly played a role on github having no longer a reason to invest resources in it having a better alternative being also developed in-house. And I also recall from other HN threads, much vocal users asking GitHub CEO about it, and why he stated just after the acquisition that Atom would be maintained even as Microsoft owning Github from there on... Which didn't happen.
I’ve done worse. Using MySQL from php and not having the encoding right somewhere along the way so all my content was being mojibaked on the way in and un-mojibaked on the way out so I didn’t notice it until deep into a project when I needed to extract it to another system.

EDIT thanks, I knew that didn't look quite right. "Mojibaked" - such a great term.
The easy thing to do is to have two policies: one for politicians, and one for everyone else. The policy for politicians will be one that holds their actions to a much higher standard than everyone else. The policy can say that metrics will be used to determine if the statements by the politician are false or misleading, and if a certain threshold is reached, they can/will(/should!) be banned from the site. They can provide a detailed analysis about how they came to the conclusion to ban the user.
>remote work will be a self-accelerating trend

I've been (unofficially) mostly remote--to greater or lesser degrees depending on what I'm working on--for quite a few years now. And you make a good point.

I have a relatively convenient local office. But most of the people I work with regularly aren't in that office, mostly work from home themselves, are on calls all day, or are traveling. I can go into the office and there's a good chance I basically won't see anyone I know. (The company has also grown a lot.)

If I could go in a day or two a week and bump into a lot of people I know/maybe have lunch with them/etc. I'd be perfectly happy to go in a day or two a week. But the reality is that I'd go in, grab a random desk, work and head back home. I can do that in my home office without a 1 hour roundtrip commute.

And layer on top of that, going into the office is going to be a weird and awkward situation for an extended period of time. I certainly don't expect to be in an office even for a meeting for the rest of this year and very possibly an extended period of time beyond that.
> If you ever did a dose once you would understand exactly what I'm talking about, it's pretty hard not to understand what's happening once you experience it, just as it is essentially impossible before doing it.

Sorry, that sounds religious. I've experimented with psychedelics quite a bit, I've had very different intense experiences on them that have strongly affected me for long periods of time. That said, psychedelics do not unveil truths to you, not about the universe, not about yourself, but it can absolutely feel like it. You don't discover "why" you're depressed (as if there was a why, and understanding it would magically take the weight off of your shoulders; it's not a Hollywood movie).

That's just mysticism and naive religious interpretation imho.
Hosted on github pages, built with hugo using a custom theme. I just create markdown files and push them, then CI builds and deploys the static html
Ok mostly true. It can also be part of a function pointer.
There was no design,as a subject, in Soviet Union. It all fell under industrial engineering blanket and the looks were just a part of the entire process to get a working product. Architecture, however,was somewhat unique in this aspect,as there was more expressiveness in some works(non residential only,though).
I would highly recommend that book to anyone. It takes literally 60 seconds to read every morning but gives you hours of things to think about.
Remote means not building genuine relationships with any coworkers. Remote means not sharing a meal, getting coffee, building friendships, or growing past an automaton that gets work done.
> With REPL driven development, there's nothing of the sort.

Wouldn't there be production code that you can read? You're already working in the codebase after all.

I agree that a unit test might have a cleaner, distilled setup procedure though.
Good old trello with new, discarded etc lists
Ok. Thanks for the correction, I explained below. I think you knew what I meant, though.
Well, is Verizon allowed to use packet injection to "fact check" a website you view over their internet connection?

Because seems to be presenting themselves as a neutral platform, which they have shown themselves to not be.

EDIT:
Just to clarify, obviously Twitter is not presenting themselves to users as a neutral platform. But for legal purposes, they are cloaking themselves in the same privileged status as a phone company, when they clearly are not.
I was thinking the other day about how I would explain to my son about how much more appealing air travel was in the 90s. The food wasn't great on U.S. carriers but most of the other details were so much more pleasant.
If you're "Pro-office" you're dictatorial. This is a problem.

The cat is out of the bag. I haven't worked in an office in nearly a decade, anyone saying "you have to be in the office" will be drawing from a dwindling pool of supplies.
I've had a similar experience at my job and I think it's actually both things.

On one side you have people that managed to claw their way through the boot camp but didn't actually pick up any of the skills; they memorized enough to get through instead of actually learning stuff. On the other side, you have people that did learn but aren't confident in their skills and so flub the interview when their confidence gives out.

I've watched the latter happen on more than one occasion and I really wish I knew how to handle it as an interviewer.
Hi! there is no API at the moment. This is an open beta :)
Dover (YC S19) is hiring a third engineer to build a modern recruiting agency
Step back and realize your situation is simple.

Goal: Get a new job.

Actions:
1. Live healthy, sleep well. Run.
2. Spruce up resume
3. Apply for jobs
4. Cruise at current job

I find that when you think you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, super straightforward tasks seem insurmountable.

Think of it like a dumb person would: “I don’t like this job. I’m gonna get a new one”

I have friends and we see each other. As for work related socializing: I work from home for last 20 year running my own business making my own products and doing the same for other companies. Sometimes I go to business meetings (not since COVID) but not at any point do I feel that I am missing something. It is totally opposite. I am happy like a clam. I have some people working for me but all remote as well.
Thanks dang, apologies. I will be sure to keep that in mind in the future.
> they're no longer platforms and instead publishers, who can be sued for their content

They could and have been sued all along. Plenty of people file inane lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter and Google all the time for content that gets posted on their services. I wouldn't be quick to imply that these lawsuits would result in successful outcomes for the plaintiffs would it not have been for the existence of Section 230.
Seen that, yeah. Alas it has an obvious flair of a ‘photoshop design’ with no connection to any engineering work.

The ortholinear keyboard would be notable, if again it had any basis in reality aside from the ‘йцукенг’ Cyrillic layout—which however has punctuation cast away beyond reach.
If it were the other way round, the media would be howling for regulation.
It would be really funny if Twitter decided to just ban Trump's account outright. Preferably some three or four weeks before election.
> On the other hand, there must be a limit on the amount of "moderation" you're allowed to perform before becoming a publisher.

That isn't clear to me at all. The publisher is essentially the author from a liability perspective.

I do agree (see my other post in this thread) that there are serious concerns about the moderation power of the operators of these massive online public forums. But that doesn't make treating them as the author from a liability perspective the right tool for dealing with that.

Particularly because in most specific cases where their moderation power might be misused there is no question of liability. Imagine a site where everyone was always honest and nice, but the operator ruthlessly censored all posts by Georgists and S230 didn't exist. Okay, they'd be liable for their users posts-- but so what? There is nothing there for anyone to sue over. The Georgists would still be totally silenced.

There are companies that organize booking of passenger cabins on container ships so that seems to be fairly easy.
You and I see different problems here. To me, the problem is a platform (and therefore legitimacy) has been granted to someone who abuses that power at every turn.

We (those arguing against you) are not empowering Twitter as the new POTUS, merely trying to minimize the current one’s ability to cause damage via lies and hateful rhetoric. (Things you or I would have been banned for years ago)

There will come a time to deal with Twitter’s societal overreach too.

I disagree, I don’t think there’s any meaningful benefit. For example, lets say we iterated over strings as follows.

for char in my_str.chars():
foo()

That wouldn’t sacrifice any ergonomics, being consistent with how we already iterate over dictionary contents with d.items(), and it’d address all the concerns in the parent comment link

While this is true, I'm pretty sure the referenced poll was conducted well before that was announced. In fact, I've heard internal criticisms of the opposite direction.

The prospect of a full time shift to remote was not communicated as context for the poll. Employees answered the polls thinking they were talking about how they'd go to the office given COVID-19 (a lot more people saying they'd do 50/50, when in reality, that just reflected their lack of comfort due to the disease).

Companies should be sure not to confuse actions people are willing to take due to a pandemic to be what they'd do in a post-pandemic world. Same thing with productivity: just like we don't know the long term impact of this disease, we also don't know that employees will remain as productive as they've been so far.
But a private company can take action to impede everyone’s access to an official’s statements if they “suppress” those statements... that would mean Twitter has to allow anything any public official, at least in the US, broadcasts via that medium...

>it’s about ethics and morals and how we compose a society with mighty power imbalances, fortified by new tech.

But that's not what this is really about.

This is about the President being angry that Twitter fact checked him and using executive power to create a chilling effect against any platform doing so in the future. It's about fears of a nonexistent conspiracy controlling the media becoming the basis for authoritarian laws meant to stamp out that menace - a phenomenon which never goes well, historically. It's about Americans hating "the left" so much that they'll support an obvious violation of the First Amendment as long as it silences their ideological enemies.
Depends what you mean by "heavy", and what platform you're looking for. Vimwiki maybe?
> actual checks and account balances from bribes right? Just another mafia state style leverage play here.

Not that things cannot be significantly improved or that I'm not extremely disappointed with our level of political executive leadership, but if this is what you think a mafia state is, I wonder what you would call the situation in other countries where things are significantly worse.
