> we saw people with Fleets talk more on Twitter. Those new to Twitter found Fleets to be an easier way to share what's on their mind. Because they disappear from view after a day, Fleets helped people feel more comfortable sharing personal and casual thoughts, opinions, and feelings.

It is clear that new user engagement metrics are still the only thing that really matters at a social media company. I recently deleted my Twitter account because it is a completely toxic place now. Until there is a clear metric for that, it will always be terrible.
Seems like one should write how the people who read your text would expect you to write. This is my main problem with writing, since I have a very hard time to figure out what people expect. I also read a lot of books about writing, but none really helped. They always use these very abstract concepts which if you apply them blindly will also lead to an incomprehensible text anyways. What helped a lot was to just take a similar text which seemingly fulfills expectations, and, almost short of plagiarism, just exchange the messages which are conveyed. This is where AI could help a lot, because I would think that it should be able to exactly this task, if you provide it the message you would like to write up. Anyways, I don’t know anybody (at least in science) who likes writing and I really hope that there will be a more practical solution than spending hours and hours of refining a text in the future. This time could better be spent on research.
>We need a real, working FOSS search engine, complete with its own crawler.

How would an open-source search engine stand against abusive SEO-optimization? If anyone can understand how the ranking algorithm works then anyone can game it.
Apple just increased battery life on the MacBook Pro from ~12 hours to 20 hours and kept the form factor the same. Likewise the MacBook Air. Feedback from people using them suggests gains are even bigger for people who use them on battery under load.
But the person you are responding to is not saying that there is single black perspective.

How to kill ... is totally absolutely white perspective. It is white antiracist perspective and also kind of propaganda for anti violent racism.

It is not the only white perspective, white are various. But, it lacks any perspective but white. It has no black person with agency or personality. No actual personality. Victim is super clear victim, not even ability to do crime is there. Victim is not threatening or uncomfortable to whites, he could not possibly be less clear model victim.

The book actually made political impact. In historical context, it is and was actual thing. But not necessary same impact for 2020 black student. And even this discussion lacks discussion about actual back then politics. Because that actually feels bad. Because people don't actually want to teach 13 years old about postcards with lynching victims being popular.
They aren't blaming Bumble. Their issue is that Bumble responded to these scary, dangerous situations with an automated "we take this seriously" response and didn't follow up further.

The women who were assaulted have no idea if the men were banned, and "we take this seriously" has depressingly started to mean exactly the opposite in our automated customer service dystopia.
Maybe I'm a hater, but I absolutely hate the mac trackpads. Physical left and right-click are so much more comfortable for me. That being said, 90% of PC manufactures are imitating Apple on that note. I also think things like unibody construction and the general design aesthetic are nice, but it's a luxury. And it's not really that valuable of a differentiator when they look the same. By contrast I have a 6 year old white plastic chromebook that my kids have dropped a dozen times and the chassis has multiple cracks held together with tape and it still runs fine. Cost $140 brand new in 2014. Software compatibility is slipping away as a differentiator as well. Web design in particular has shifted away from Adobe and Sketch to products like Figma that are web-based. Ditto for office software like G Suite/O365. The value of mac-only software is shrinking.
This is really interesting, I'll have to play around it. I've been browsing news sites with "links" a lot more lately as it usually just gets me the content I want and it does so very fast. No ads, no popups, no JS - just the content. I could achieve the same thing with noscript and a few other extensions but those generally still aren't as fast and simple as links.
I've had my rm2 for a few weeks, and I think the software is remarkably bad - but I've yet to truly experiment with the various foss/hacks for it.

The actual drawing and doodling is nice, but there are a number of issues.

First the cloud/sync software will happily let you add lots of ebooks/comics to transfer (I have a couple of comic bundles from humble bundle I've yet to read). The end result is that the disk fills up, and the on-device file manager is anemic and slow. Not only is there no discernable way to clear the sync queue (so as you free up space it gets filled again..) - even if you can sort by file size, you can't actually list file size.

I had hoped to use it, beyond comics, for technical books - but both zoom and reflow of text, and font selection is poor for both Pdf and epub.

Then finally, I had hope it would work for viewing Pdf rpg rulebook - but it chokes pretty badly (on the admittedly quite horrible) white wolf mage 20th book for example.

And to add insult to injury the built in Pdf reader can't be used with the interactive (Pdf form) character sheets.

It can read a "printed" version and allows doodling on top - so it's not all lost. But the end result isn't machine readable, so you're almost better off with a paper sheet anyway.

Finally, reading a standard epub (like "The Star's my Destination") is painful because the limited font/margin/reflow, and the sluggish response for turning pages (a hw button would've helped here). In the end, my aging huawei phone [1] with oled display set to night mode is a better book reading experience both in Kindle and FBreader.

But again, the doodling is pretty good, and the screen is crisp - so I hope something can be done via software. Maybe even just adding a djvu-reader and do the conversion off device if the cpu is truly as underpowered for Pdf as it appears.

I'm also using DDG exclusively since many years. I find what I need usually as the first couple of results or in the box on the right, that usually goes directly to the authorative source anyway.
They say that, but then I looked up Insulin price, and it was astronautical. Even compared to normal drug stores.
I'm the same. I'm wearing a non-brand polo shirt and jeans most days.

Honestly, I'd go to a good mens clothing store and talk to them about your goals. Don't buy too much at once, try to stay fairly classic/timeless at first until you figure out what you like.

I can't do it because I'm too much of a tightwad to spend $180+ on a shirt, or $1,000 on a blazer, which is what the average is at the store I'm thinking of. But they will work with you, get your measurements, and do alterations so that the stuff you buy really fits well (which is a big part of what makes an outfit look really good -- it's more than just the right combination of colors).
Tl;dr: CSS conical gradients, overflow detector in the DevTools, and Webrender for macOS and older Windows.

I was wondering why Firefox felt speedier than usual ; turns out the combination of the new Warp JS optimiser and Webrender does wonders on my MacBook.

You should plot this advice on a colour-wheel - try and form your own conclusions from this rigid set of rules. You'll find a simpler, smaller set of rules is guiding them (which can be somewhat unique to your tastes). Also as an artist I would advise paying attention to both hue and saturation when looking at outfits. Usually things look bad because people put too many brightly saturated colours next to each other.
I'd love to participate in a project like this. Does anyone know how to contact drew devault?

This actually sounds like a middle-of-the-pack engineer, which is about a 4x.

A 2nd edition of Peopleware summarises it; the 10x programmer is not a myth, but it's comparing the best to the worst; NOT best to median. It's also not about programming specifically; it's simply a common distribution in many metrics of performance.

The rule of thumb Peopleware states is that you can rely on the best outperforming the worst by a factor of 10, and you can rely on the best outperforming the median by a factor of 2.5. This of course indicates that a median developer, middle of the pack, is a 4x developer. Obviously, this is a statistical rule, and if you've got a tiny sample size or some kind of singular outlier or other such; well, we're all adults and we understand how statistics and distributions work.

Peopleware uses Boehn (1981), Sackman (1968), Augustine (1979) and Lawrence (1981) as its sources. [ "Peopleware", DeMarco and Lister, 1987, p45 ]

As a hack until then, I've found Google's Custom Search Engine feature to work well enough for my use cases. I just add the URLs that are "tier 1" for me. https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/cse/all
That'll print the list of files even in a populated directory like /usr/bin and leave me at the prompt with the last few files listed above. As soon as you want the list of files not to go away so you can control/manage/examine them, you are talking of a file manager.
It's mostly a joke. We can't even get ecological clearance to build medium density housing in most of the area, let alone blow up a couple mountains.

What can happen is slow encroachment into the bay from the sides. It's already happened over many years (and dredging is continuous). And it wouldn't look like a megapolis, more like Venice meets Santa Clarita
I think that is why the idea would be to have the tier 1 sites so you don't have to index as much.
It's definitely not, and in fact swap on a modern OS doesn't work that way. Something can be only in physical RAM, only in swap, or (when "clean"/unmodified vs the copy in swap) in both (allowing it to be dropped from physical RAM quickly). So one obvious approach would be to simply use the external RAM as swap.

Relatedly, I've heard of using Intel Optane as "slow RAM" for cold pages, and I think the idea there is also that it'd be in one or the other but not both. (Optane can be thought of as very expensive/fast flash or very slow/cheap RAM.)
I had the exact same experience on a trip to Tahoe a few months ago. My girlfriend and I needed to get away, so, we booked a hotel and just stayed in for the weekend. We didn't see one single other person wearing a mask who wasn't some sort of restaurant server. We got our food to go.
Well, I sure hope you are correct on this and we will see a green utopian future. What concerns me is the finiteness of non-renewable resources both oil and the materials used to produce wind and solar power. Processing of ore to produce the rare metals used is very power intensive and polluting. What happens in say 2050 when all this green power tech needs to be replaced?? Is there enough raw materials left over to continue the production of green energy tech ??

I was probably 6-7 years into my career before I encountered such a person. It was my first formally titled “software” role, having spent the years prior making software and calling it “websites”, for a mostly brochureware design firm. I had terrible impostor syndrome. But I recognized that a member of my team was simply not up to the task. And was very well liked by the team, so no one had spoken up.

But I was gaining responsibility, including (informal at the time) leadership of this individual. And it was a liability to the team, and to me, and ultimately to the person in question. So I spoke up. I felt terrible about it, I feared alienating everyone, and I feared I was putting the person in financial and career risk. But I didn’t see a way to bring them up to even a standard where their presence wouldn’t be a net negative, and I knew I wasn’t up to the challenge of carrying that weight. So I did what was best for the team.

The person was ultimately let go. And they did ultimately find a role that was better suited to them. So all is well. In hindsight I don’t think I should have been so torn up about it. It actually sucks to be in over your head, knowing it or not, and it’s possible finding a more fitting role is a better place for growth into more challenging roles.

I’m not sure how to conclude this, I’m not sure if there’s even any value sharing it. But I guess for anyone reading who finds themselves in my position (newish, relatively ascendant, full of self doubt but certain that a peer is in the wrong role), I would recommend trusting your gut. And I would say that there’s a lot of room in tech for a lot of people at almost any skill level. Just not always on your team. And that’s okay. They’ll very likely be okay.
Sorry but no. The dominant perspective on writing in academia teaches people to do exactly what you are saying. This is what is taught in undergraduate English classes. The unconventional wisdom is to Write Like You Speak. So it's more about unlearning popular things like "bureaucratese" and corporate speak. Poetry and literature aside, most of us are better off writing in plain English if we want to do well professionally.

The Plain English Campaign lays it out well:

"The main advantages of plain English are: it is faster to write; it is faster to read; and you get your message across more often, more easily and in a friendlier way."

It could be a straw that broke the camels back type situation. Additionally they may have already decided to move, but this made them choose Tulsa over other places
the tiering system is dumb, really really dumb.

it would basically make already famous domains shine and dump lesser known domains into 20th page oblivion.

it saddens me because google search results actually helped you discover new sites and new people, but it's been years since that has changed.
Technically, it's sound, so not sure how you call it a ponzi scheme unless you're just trolling without understanding it.
I have three as well (older though, so not the hardship I reckon you guys have now). The dynamic is awesome, but also crazy at times. You learn to turn on/off. If I would be turned on constantly and react to all the noise and yelling I would be mentally dead. You learn to snap on in an instant when shit gets real. 99 times out of 100 it is just small non-essential things though, but sometimes a sound or a lack of a sound makes you 100% focused. But most of the time you need to turn on the noice cancelling inside your head.
Great app! It's very clean and aesthetic will no doubt build trust in your user demographic.

The following was written by the actual Hemingway; the Hemingway Editor thinks it is okay except that it has 4 adverbs and should aim for “0 or fewer” (not sure how the “or fewer” works) and “1 of 1 sentences is hard to read”:

That something I cannot yet define completely but the feeling comes when you write well and truly of something and know impersonally you have written in that way and those who are paid to read it and report on it do not like the subject so they say it is all a fake, yet you know its value absolutely; or when you do something which people do not consider a serious occupation and yet you know truly, that it is as important and has always been as important as all the things that are in fashion, and when, on the sea, you are alone with it and know that this Gulf Stream you are living with, knowing, learning about, and loving, has moved, as it moves, since before man, and that it has gone by the shoreline of that long, beautiful, unhappy island since before Columbus sighted it and that the things you find out about it, and those that have always lived in it are permanent and of value because that stream will flow, as it has flowed, after the Indians, after the Spaniards, after the British, after the Americans and after all the Cubans and all the systems of governments, the richness, the poverty, the martyrdom, the sacrifice and the venality and the cruelty are all gone as the high-piled scow of garbage, bright-colored, white-flecked, ill-smelling, now tilted on its side, spills off its load into the blue water, turning it a pale green to a depth of four or five fathoms as the load spreads across the surface, the sinkable part going down and the flotsam of palm fronds, corks, bottles, and used electric light globes, seasoned with an occasional condom or a deep floating corset, the torn leaves of a student’s exercise book, a well-inflated dog, the occasional rat, the no-longer-distinguished cat; all this well shepherded by the boats of the garbage pickers who pluck their prizes with long poles, as interested, as intelligent, and as accurate as historians; they have the viewpoint; the stream, with no visible flow, takes five loads of this a day when things are going well in La Habana and in ten miles along the coast it is as clear and blue and unimpressed as it was ever before the tug hauled out the scow; and the palm fronds of our victories, the worn light bulbs of our discoveries and the empty condoms of our great loves float with no significance against one single, lasting thing—the stream.

I’m pro privacy, but I dont have a problem with AdWords, outside of googles implementation.

If AdWords targeting was purely based on the search term, I don’t mind.

The search engine has to generate revenue somehow, and the revenue generated on “Saas crm” with a single click is likely to be larger than any users annual subscription. (10 - 100+ per click)

I’m unclear on the ethical / privacy concerns of “AdWords” style advertising.
I don't have the reMarkable 2, but I preordered v1 and have been using it pretty regularly since then. I've really enjoyed it and greatly prefer it for my primary use case of reading and reviewing academic papers. I find it far superior to an iPad in this respect. Mostly because of the display.

The specific points of feedback you have are common with the v1 device. With the exception of pressure sensitivity. The pen for the v1 device was pressure sensitive. Has that been removed? Of the other points, the only one that I've found really bothers me is being unable to change the default writing implement.
An often referred to issue with DDG is that its favicon service was informing DDG of sites you visit, rather than searches you make.

But agreed that all search engines have to be trusted on their word about anonymising data and not retaining PII when it comes to searches specifically. There's nothing any front end user can do to verify it.
Not as much if you have user curated tier 1 sites. If these start to become spammy, they get removed.

>I welcome any competition at this point.

Microsoft tried and failed to build a competitor and it's not like they have shallow pockets.

They grossly underestimated a number of aspects:

- The huge number of man-years invested in Google's search quality stack hand-tuning and what it would take to replicate it.

- The fact that the machine learning field was simply not ready to tackle the search quality problem.

- The infrastructure required to build a crawler / indexer stack as good as Google's

I think in 2020, the second problem is within reach of many companies technically. It's mostly a matter of throwing enough money at optimized infrastructure.

However, replicating the search quality stack is going to be very hard, unless someone makes a huge breakthrough in machine learning / language modeling / language understanding at a thousandth of the cost it currently takes to run something like GPT-3.

The most likely candidate to execute properly on that last bit is - unfortunately - Google.
World of Warcraft works well in Wine. Cursebreaker (or Twitch + Wine) allows to keep addons updated. Easy to set up in Lutris. I got some latency issues though. Input seems OK, its something with video.
With mask noncompliance so widespread, what exactly is Biden going to do? Throw all the anti-maskers in jail? Post law enforcement outside their houses to force them to quarantine? In fact, while the state technically has legal authority to get people to comply with mask mandates, they don't literally have the ability to do so. So, I would argue that the state doesn't have the "power" to do anything here at all, or, at least that it hasn't been demonstrated to date.
It’s good to see terminal-based browsers are still being developed.

I used to use w3m and lynx back in the day, and found them to be very useful at times (such as only having a GPRS signal available - makes browsing on a “full fat” browser impossible). Paired with screen (though I guess mosh would be a good option these days) to enable a resumable session in case the network dropped, of course.
We've been able to do realtime ray tracing in software since forever though and the shadertoys and whatnot have been full of hardware accelerated demos, that's not so interesting.
