> It's been entertaining to watch him gradually tightening the screws on speech over the years though

It's sad to read the Terms of Service and easily count Facebook PR scandals like rings in a tree-trunk. My "favorite" example is the years-long fights over breastfeeding photos on individual profiles and in parenting groups: https://bc.ctvnews.ca/facebook-policy-on-breastfeeding-photo...

When a policy gets so specific that it starts talking about times the "child is latched" my eyes just glaze over and I can only read it like "DEAR WOMAN, please remember your body is disgusting, you're disgusting for having it, and it must remain covered aside from these extremely-specific legally-mandated exceptions. With love, everyone at FB."

i dunno how this got to the front page. this is an extremely old vector and not even that effective given the tiny, tiny likelihood of finding a domain or account that works., It would actually be cheaper to buy an old twitter account from someone who does not his account anymore legit, than try to go through millions of accounts, which requires tons of proxies and other evasion methods. Twitter is not easily searchable and neither is google. Twitter has extreme rate-limiting measures, so you need a lot of proxies for this to work and those cost money.
You don’t technically need 50% though. Anything can happen here.

Also those numbers you linked to are quarterly sales, not current active users. Not sure if that makes a big difference.

This isn’t the workflow I see when trying the password reset process on an old account that I’ve recently tried to recover.

But when I click Forgot Password, it asks me for my username and also the email address before I can continue.

For a native application for the desktop Java fits the need for

I have a Java application that was built in 1999, still works

they have had problems rendering on some machines, so I have
abandon that avenue. Besides it appears to be designed for the

database access, SQLite included, and a deployments and what
is now called package management.

I was being somewhat metaphorical, as I can't imagine how we could possibly test such a hypothesis.

But were we able to test it (and feel free to suggest something), I would take that bet, yes. My position being roughly that anyone capable of posting to an incel forum, is capable enough to make the kinds of changes in their life that would "overcome" whatever other physical characteristics they have, and therefore be able to find a sexual partner. Although not necessarily quickly - it might only be later in their adulthood.

(And ok, to be more realistic, I'd only bet on 99.5% of people on incel forums - not 100%. Though I'd probably take the bet at 100% anyway.)

> [...] you are willing to bet that somehow none of these individuals are also active on some incel subreddit.

Yes. I believe the base rate of people who never find a sexual relationship in their entire lives (assuming they want it) is miniscule. Some quick searching puts it at around 0.5% by age 40. I believe that those are mostly unfortunate extreme cases. I believe that even some of these people could conceivably still make changes that would lead to them having a sexual relationship.

The odds of someone on an incel forum being one of the probably-less-than-0.5% of people who by age 40 have not had a sexual relationship is pretty small.

Of course the customer cares about fast, powerful and efficient things they can use.

What happens is that most of the time making something fast, powerful and efficient implies so much resources that the ambitious engineer can not complete the project in time.

Customers prefer something that works today, even with limited functionality that something perfect that only works inside the mind of the engineer.

That is the reason Steve Jobs said no so many times, because this way his company could ship products in time.

That in engineers mindset problem: It is painful to say No, like the song says, we "want it all".
From my experience, only people who prefer open offices are junior devs who need lot of help from peers/mentors and managers who often likes to check on team's progress. I personally hate open office for the similar reasons mentioned in the article.

Pretty silly reply. No need to attack. I’m fairly certain code bases can’t get much bigger than the ones I’m working on. If you abandon the idea that names should be read in a natural manner why use words at all? What a silly notion.

Many different languages style guides actually prefer verbs for functions as it makes it clearer an action is taken.

Finding function names is very easy with either approach. You have bigger problems and don’t know what you are looking for if you can’t find FakeVerse instead of VerseFake. Why is LandAnimal acceptable over AnimalLand? Why choose AnimalFast over FastAnimal? There is no reason those should be chosen: sorting is a poor argument as the loss in clarity is too great.

It's almost like giving two companies a stranglehold over the entire mobile market means that only certain types of games can thrive, and that by and large more serious developers will be forced to abandon mobile games entirely.

You could almost imagine that in a world where quality games weren't constantly crowded out of the ecosystem, and where developers were free to be more creative, and where serious games could sell on serious storefronts that didn't force them to advertise right next to Candy Crush, that we'd have better games and less of a race to the bottom on price and ethics.

This is the opposite of what we’re seeing on the right. Centrist republicans have been pushed out of the party for not being conservative enough over the last 4 years, and primary candidates go out of their way to outdo each other in terms of conservative positioning.

Nobody seriously running on the right is trying to be a moderate Republican on the federal level because being a “RINO” is political suicide.

Time spent planning does not always save time and money in all cases. We have all seen people who love to build prototypes deliver something working while the guy who insists on planning still hasn't delivered anything. And the guy who built the prototype comes with a list of valuable questions discovered only through the act of building. You wouldn't build a skyscraper in the middle of a busy city without loads of planning, and you wouldn't do loads of planning to build a new product feature for a web application when you are told ahead of time that requirements will change during the build. Knowing which is which doesn't come from reading. It comes from experience. As much I do loving reading about software engineering, like everything else in life you've got to get your head out of the books and ride that horse eventually.

> Actually the rm command should move files into a `~/.Trash` folder instead of immediately removing them.

I remember thinking that way when I started using the command line, but I now respectfully disagree. The `mv` command already does that, and they way `rm` work is actually necessary sometimes (eg. I couldn't live without it now that I'm deleting huge files all day long).

Anecdote: when Windows was my daily driver, emptying the trash had become a mechanical task just after deleting a bunch of files anyway, so it didn't provide more safety than these useless “are you sure you want to X” dialogs you click without thinking about the question. I have lost a pair of files just because of that. When I have to use Windows these days, I mostly use shift+del to delete (ie. bypass the trash).

The nicest answers to data loss I've found so far are filesystem snapshots and proper backups. They not only protect from the occasional `rm` mistype, but from the mistyped shell redirections and bad programs as well.
This looks exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks
