That's my guess. On twitter/ig, advertising deals would be done directly between accounts and advertisers, so the social media provider itself wouldn't really care; fraudulent engagement numbers are third-party. YouTube is different, where the host also provides the advertising service, and fake numbers hurt Google's bottom line. So they're probably both harsher on fakes and better at detecting them

Heh: "Tryon, for example, denounced musk, 'the dearest of stinks', as 'an excrementitious matter - or the fume or froth proceeding from a fierce, fiery, violent-natured creature'.

> Please stop shaming authors, they quit, sometimes post it here about mob.

If one feels that talking about a bug in their software is "shaming" them, then maybe they should quit or alternatively, just quit pretending they want feedback or to write FOSS. Same applies to teams writing software.

Not to mention how harmful it is to think that everyone who picks up FOSS is actually good at it. Thinking people as infallible is actively harmful for the end users.

Incorrect folder structure is an actual bug. It might be simple to patch for the end user, but you're ignoring the maintenance burden, annoyance and cumbersomeness.

There are paths more correct than others, some workflows are obsolete and stupid, and should't be catered to. It's wilful ignorance to ignore that.

Bwahahaha, you may think that's fine, but I don't.
My IP comes up clean, which is unsurprising because I don't use Bittorrent (at least not for piracy, anyway.) Even if you are going to torrent unscrupulously though, you may as well use a VPN or, if you can justify it, a seedbox. Paying to pirate stuff alone is probably a bit illogical, but OTOH having a VPN for general usage is probably wise for any questionable P2P things. (I am not affiliated or anything but I always feel obliged to throw a recommendation for Mullvad in that regard. Even if you don't care about VPNs, they do some pretty interesting stuff, like working on Coreboot for a server platform.)

I think what most people don't realize is that the pandemic is more of the pin that is popping the bubble. Remember the Fed was dropping rates all last year like a lead balloon and injecting liquidity in massive way last fall -- all before the virus.

If Covid-19 goes away overnight, I don't see the economy recovering and I think the Fed's actions have been catastrophic for the US dollar. They're literally hitching the country's solvency to the market to save it. Maybe it will work, sure, but were a bit in uncharted territory so I don't see where the confidence is coming from. And by doing this they have to be right; they're making it their hill to die on. If they're wrong, America will become a very different place.

The most common reason to write a PG extension is to add native support for a structure/data type that PG doesn't already have native support for.

For example, despite Postgres having a (base-10000) numeric/decimal type, there are certain things that can be done much more cheaply in base-256 (e.g. ser/des from bit-packed and/or hex strings), and thus pgmp (https://github.com/dvarrazzo/pgmp) exists as a Postgres libgmp binding.

There are also "data service" type extensions—exposing some other data "into" Postgres so it can participate in a query. PG's own pg_stat_statements extension is an example. Postgres's support for Foreign Data Wrappers has mostly obviated writing these as extensions, though; it's much easier (and safer for your RDBMS-side data!) to just write these as standalone daemons that Postgres mounts as FDW servers.

My fave comms goto is:

"It's not what you say, it's what they hear."

- Frank Luntz

Unfortunately, it pre-dates cancel culture and such. We've allowed "always assume the worst" to be normalized. We've made one (event) into a pattern.

Communication is a two way street. If one side (i.e., the receiver) is intentionally undermining "the contract" then the processes is doomed. You can't have a two-way process where one half is trying their best to communicate, and the other is trying their best not to do so. It doesn't work that way. Which is obvious at this point. Insanity is at an all time high.

Because lots of us see where this fits in the market. Businesses want to leave wordpress, and wix/squarespace are almost exclusively targeting non-technical users.

This type of approach lets a technical person work with the marketing team so that the site can be both easy to update and optimized for business needs.

You’re right that good software/service does not automatically mean profit, but you’re missing the understanding that if you serve a hungry demographic, you only need a MVP to bring in revenue.

> HEAD means "the branch to update when a new commit is made

Thank you for the edit; this is where our mental models diverge. Yours is the technically correct version, but when I'm working, I introduce a small abstraction on top. I've never written this particular part out explicitly, so please bear with me and feel free to suggest better names or phrasing.

I'll call it, "the checked-out branch" (or other <tree-ish>, but let's leave out detached HEAD for simplicity). It's like your model, but also includes the state of the repo at that commit. This is a really subtle difference, but the key is that checkout is one atomic operation.

I think the easiest way to explain is by analogy[0] to editing a regular text file. You've got the file on disk, and the version in your editor's buffer (working tree), and every time you save, you're making a commit (with `--amend`, on most filesystems). When you decide to edit a different file, and open it, technically there's two independent operations -- switch which file handle you're writing to, and replace the contents of the buffer with the contents of the new file -- but I seldom think of it this way (and I can't think of an editor that separates them).

This is also why I don't like overloading with `git checkout <commit> -- <files>...`, which does not update the HEAD. It shatters the "open file" analogy; it's like changing the contents of your buffer without changing which file you're writing to. In my mind, that's a totally separate function (typically accomplished by opening the other file separately and then copying its contents into the buffer, an inefficient operation that I'm grateful git provides a better alternative to).

Aside, I also prefer to think of each branch (not commit!) as having its own persistent working tree and staging area; I'd prefer not to have to push and pop a stash each time I check out a new branch if I already had some work in progress. `git worktree` comes close, but lacks the ability to navigate between worktrees but stay in the same directory relative to the root, like `checkout` does. Also you have to initialize other worktrees with a different root, which pollutes the file system or forces you to use an extra level of nesting.

It's been on my list of projects for a while to write a git porcelain that works the way I'd like, but it's pretty low priority (despite my complaints, git works pretty well for me), so I doubt I'll get to it for a few years.

[0] Come to think of it, maybe "analogy" is not the best word. It's more like, I prefer to view git as an extension of my filesystem, so I want a consistent mental model across the whole thing.

This is a wildly false assumption based on being inside a tech bubble. In rounded terms, the set of customers who assume that Amazon reviews are fake is closer to nobody than to everybody.

Yes. The word for this is "fraud". Even if you believed that all of your reviews were 100% honest and objective, you'd just be deceiving yourself too if you didn't bear the cost.

In the long long ago I worked at a small regional ISP. We offered dial-up and dsl. Users were assigned whatever IP was available when they connected, and this was logged (including disconnect time).

So, it was very easy to search the logs and see who was using an IP at a given time in the past (assuming we still had the logs).
" easier to convince them with social aikido (or to let yourself be convinced), not assert dominance."

There is a much easier 3rd way, and that is for people to act like adults, realise they are not always going to get their way, in which case someone may have somewhat more legit authority and to let that decision happen without making it about ego.

If someone needs to have emotional aikido applied to them, they're not a professional.

If someone is constantly having to 'assert dominance' they're probably not a professional either.

Sure, if you add presymptomatic and asymptomatic spread you get a large number (because the most infectious period is the presymptomatic period right before symptoms develop.) That doesn't even begin to contradict asymptomatic spread, distinguished from presymptomatic spread, being rare to nonexistent. Usually, this makes little difference because you can individually distinguish the two only in retrospect, but when you have a population (like children) that demonstrably has a much lower propensity to develop disease symptoms when infected and a much higher propensity to remain asymptomatic, it makes a big difference.
Tesla jumps 14% on S&P 500 inclusion speculation Now the 10th by market value
It's not just "rich get richer". It's also that everybody bought into the "just buy the market" idea hook line and sinker. Pension funds, individual investors, everybody.

How retirement works on paper: you save the money by buying the market and get 20% more when you retire in 40 years. How retirement works in reality: younger people work to supply the old with food and medical care. The real transfer is happening now, while the financial transfer is happening over decades. I don't think this creates a healthy, sustainable dynamic.
I noticed. Thanks for posting your initial response. It lead me to check how I was calculating, and I think you were right. I have addressed it now, but I'm sure this wont 100% reflect the Canadian tax calculation, but based on comparisons with other tax calculators, it seems to be coming pretty close. Where I know it will be way off is in the "additional annual income" table, as I made no effort to classify those. Everything is just considered "income" and taxed at the same federal/provincial rates.

The problem here is not recognizing that the piracy was actually the problem. In what way was it forgivable? Because everybody does it, that makes it okie dokie? Because you don't have a Netflix account?

Ask HN: How does Superhuman Mail tracks every recipient independently?
I'm very curious to know how Superhuman manages to track every recipient when an email has been sent to multiple independent recipients.

For me email read tracking is done by adding an individual pixel tracker to an email which allows the server that hosts that pixel to know if the email has been open. And it's the same pixel that is sent to all the recepients since the email is a carbon copy so impossible to distinguish between the recipients by name.

Is there any magic in the email protocols that allows to send a specific copy of the original email to each recipient while making it look like it's still the same thread?

If there were ever a time where Intel had its customers by the balls the least in the past twenty years, it's now. AMD is extremely competitive in the server and desktop space, ARM/Apple is becoming competitive in the laptop space, Intel has no product in the phone/tablet space, and they are noncompetitive in the HPC/DL accelerator space.

If there's anything that has typified Intel in the past decade it's a generalized failure to execute. There's been very little innovation in the core product since Haswell in 2013.

Having a package registry has its advantages and disadvantages (npm) but nest.land is trying to make the best of both sides, a very common complaint with deno is that it does not have a package manager or official registry. The nest.land team took as a axis to use blockchain as a central technology, which in my opinion is a serious decision, since problems such as left-pad would no longer occur since the packages are immutable, in the case of packages they have a system package reporting which mitigates malicious packages very well.

regarding whether or not deno should handle packages with url is a dividing issue, first of all deno does not try to be a direct successor of nodejs, it tries to be compatible with the browser, in the browser it is imported using directly url, some solutions are, use a deps.ts file and have all the import there, use import maps and maybe manage them using Trex, in order to change the paradigm is crucial to move forward, many when nodejs was presented did not like the idea of server-side javascript, Today the nodejs ecosystem is one of the most important in the industry
