Sorry, this is a strawman. Yes, `hg shelve` is a very nice extension. But that's about the only add-on I've ever needed, while working more than 7 years on reasonably complex projects spanning about a dozen teams, in multiple timezones and repositories. And it takes less than 5 minutes to install.

We were forced to move to Git after being acquired, and while the migration was painless, the day-to-day friction caused by Git porcelain is notably higher than with Mercurial. The issues caused by line-endings alone waste more time than all the Mercurial issues combined.
Making it harder for users to review & inspect update installation packages does affect user freedom.

In Swedish we have the wonderful"nja".

"Ja" is yes.
"Nej" is no.
"Nja" is neither. It's used to express uncertainty or that it's not as simple as yes or no.

Seattle, love it, still "tiny" by city definitions.

Portland is too small to be considered a layover.

So what's next, SF and then LA.

Facebook and Google have completely smashed the online advertising industry. The whole reason online advertising is so difficult to profit on is because Facebook and Google have sucked all the profit out of the room. The Open Web is a total shambles because of nonsense from Google and Facebook so many companies don't even have an alternative to fall back on... Now Facebook is claiming they are defending small business. What a joke.

Anything which causes Facebook to make this much noise must be good.

Because Android users will switch to iOS for better privacy, Google needs to develop something similar to keep the market share.
Sure, but how do I know if I can trust a random community I found via Google or on Reddit?

At least with ads (on a platform like Facebook), it's obvious they're ads and what their incentive is. With a random community, it may be unclear if people within it/the community itself is being paid by some company etc. Or if they have some other incentive to misrepresent the quality of certain products/services (e.g. recommending only what they can get affiliate links for).
How much extra value can Facebook squeeze from users by tracking them across mobile apps? Facebook users already reveal so much personal information and behavioral signals on facebook.com, something almost no other ad tech companies have.

Facebook should lean into app tracking transparency because it will hurt smaller ad tech companies more than it will hurt Facebook. They can garner some goodwill in the press, instead of their sad display about “protecting small businesses”.
Makes sense, is has to do with how quickly the blood sugar rises after a meal. This is known as glycemic index, which can for instance be defined by the way food was process. An example are instant oatmeal vs. steel cut oats. Great explainer video on this topic [1] (and many many others!).

One problem is there are always cases that aren't covered by these articles. Centering in CSS could be so many things. Center one element inside a another, Centering a css background image . Centering an inline element in a line of text to be centered vertically in the line. They all require different solutions

For inline I'm not sure I ever found a solution I liked. I just wanted something like

This brought to by <avatar> Name

With the avatar the same size and centered similar to emoji faces. I'm sure it's easy but I couldn't find a solution that wasn't a hack of specific sizes (ie, not flexiable/responsive)

Well, nerds get mad when you take away controls that existed for.. ever. Is your individuality perfectly expressed through the system preferences that Apple thinks you should have or through exercising your UNIX nerd cred by opening the hatch and messing with the guts? :)
CSV isn't a single format but many incompatible formats that require additional metadata to decode, such as:

- whether quotes are ""doubled like SQL92 or backslash-\"escaped like C

- whether newlines are quoted or \n like C

- whether there are column headings

- what the character set of the file is (Excel insists it's the local machine's codepage)

- whether that's a BOM or part of a column heading

- whether lines terminate with \n or \r\n or \r or \r\n

- what to do about ragged rows

and so on. Except for the simplest of datasets, CSV is almost certainly going to lose information. The only advantages over SQLite is streaming support and maybe compression, but even then there are better formats.

I also use nitter for the that reason. I was under the impression that nitter screen scrapes so it’s interesting that it’s still working unchanged.
The article doesn’t seem to make any factual claims about why Facebook is wrong in claiming that small businesses will be affected negatively by the disruption in personalized ads.

It’s clear that making tracking opt in instead of opt out will make most users chose to not enable tracking leading to lesser personalized ads, which would affect the ability of smaller businesses to reach a targeted audience that they care about without needing to spend more than necessary. That’s the point being made by Facebook and I do see the logic there. I expected a better rebuttal to Facebooks argument.
I access almost all services in private tabs, i.e. cookies are not persisted, and let my password manager do the login.

Maybe they should focus on making sure their exchange doesn't crash every time the price spikes, or actually get to the long list of people they simply locked out of their accounts instead going for another cash grab.

Coinbase is the the bane of the bitcoin ecosystem, in incompetence and shady practices. The only thing they haven't surpassed them is in lost coins, which still remains to be seen given how much they hold in custody for their customer base.

Thanks YC for helping re-create the same BS that plagues the fiat World and its horrid corruption based on class and net-worth! Which is exactly what we sought to overthrow with Bitcoin. But... could we really expect any different when its founders are ex-Goldman Sachs?

Jobs are "shitty" only in relation to what the worker can purchase with the wages they receive. As consumer prices go down, the purchasing power of the average salary increases, and jobs become less shitty.

It's through this dynamic that wages have grown 20 fold, in inflation adjusted terms, since 1820. Companies finding ways to reduce costs is how that happened.

So Amazon reducing consumer prices is in effect a wage hike for everyone.

And this same dynamic explains why wage growth has slowed since 1970. Social welfare spending has increased on average 4.8 percent per year between 1972 and 2011:

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-is-driving-growth-...

This was one of the most rapid expansions of social democratic policies in human history. This transformation from a more market-oriented economy to a more politically directed one had the predictable effect of reducing labor productivity growth, which evidence shows was the primary cause of the slowdown in wage growth:

http://www.brookings.edu/research/opinions/2014/12/22-source...

In other words, we need MORE profit-motivated capital investments and companies like Amazon flourishing, not less. The seemingly miracalous advancement of income and quality of life since 1800 was because of breakneck rates of industralization. Change, in this context, is good, and anti-capitalist policies that reduce the expansion of capital are bad.
Think of how much extra software engineers get paid because of how difficult it is to do simple things. If it were easy, you wouldn’t need a whole team for a crud web app. If everything didn’t break from updates constantly, you wouldn’t need SaaS in order to feel like a piece of software might still work in 2-5 years. It’s a weird thought, I think I got it from a Jonathan Blow stream

Actually there were a couple of other reboots, but staying on the same NT kernel model, one being the kernel refactoring around Windows 7 release, and during Windows 10 it got the capabilities of split personality with secure kernel, driver guard and ability to run containers directly on top of Hyper-V.
Alternatively, people are trying to do things with webpages that they really weren't meant for, i.e. CSS is based around document-oriented pages so anything outside of its formatting model becomes more difficult. From CSS 2.1 section 10.3.3:

"If both 'margin-left' and 'margin-right' are 'auto', their used values are equal. This horizontally centers the element with respect to the edges of the containing block."

i.e. horizontal centering is easy because that's a natural thing to want to do in a document, but vertical centering seems to make less sense and is thus correspondingly more difficult.
That's how I made the down payment on my condo too. It's a heck of a deal! Especially when your portfolio skyrockets afterwards. YMMV ofc.
Both Google and Facebook have rigged online advertising. Apple is doing GOOD!
Still possible to curl, just looks like it is a bit more obnoxious now and requires parameters like your browserAgent and cookie to be set. Look in your network tab for requests to an endpoint like this[1] with a lot of query parameters after.

Can someone contextualize the damage? In all the articles I’ve read, it says it’s “bad” but doesn’t go into why it is bad and what was breached.
Considering how prelevant crunching is in the games industry, I wouldn't really draw conclusions. Apparently Red Dead Redemption 2 (among other Rockstar titles) also had massive crunch and it was released to critical acclaim.

No, but OP is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Is there any reason to think users care about it enough to switch based solely on this feature? Apple has been posturing itself as the privacy-first platform and so far it doesn’t seem like Android/Google is stepping up to challenge that (afaik, would love to see evidence that they are).
Nice, we have Jein in German, which is a Portmanteau of Ja and Nein (yes and no).
And I would go ahead and blame them for low quality ads. There was a time I liked seeing ads, they would tell me new things, and be funny/creative.

Now its the same stupid spammy ad on all channels because we have only two players. It's just impressions count now.
> People choose their end date all the time.

That is absolutely false.

Either side has the full right to choose an earlier date.

You can choose an earlier date to leave. Company can also choose an earlier date for you to leave.

> If someone says "I'll quit" and the company disables their badge and security escorts them out, they've been fired

Do you expect to choose your exit date at your own liking at any date at your comfort?

We can agree to disagree.

Saying you're fired when you actually give the ultimatum seems dishonest. I thought Timnit was supposed to be a role model of high ethics.
> It's a panacea in the sense you seem to see that ritualized choice as a cure for whatever negatives are implicit in all the choices presented,

> To tie things back to the beginning, you reacted to a story about the decline in many people's standard of living with a rather tone-deaf observation that some other people will benefit from that decline. Maybe you should consider that decline they experience a little more thoughtfully.

I observed that the suggested solution to the decline in standard of living would not have the desired effect. At no point have you challenged this observation, which suggests that you have no reason to dispute it. Several times now, you have displayed a poor attitude, which is well within your rights as a human being but suggests you don't have anything to offer to move the discussion forward.

> Maybe you should consider that decline they experience a little more thoughtfully.

Sure, why don't you do the same? I suggest reflecting on the economic realities of scarcity and the labor-multiplying effect of capital.
Any HTTP request you can make with a browser can in principle be made with curl. The issue is that seeing content now requires you to jump through lots of hoops, whereas it was previously openly accessible by default.
It almost appears as if they were referring to the American alternatives, Aluminum and fries.

It may not be as clear cut as this – if an Android user cares about privacy, then they're probably using the OS in spite of its relatively poor privacy. Maybe this will be the one thing that for a small minority of those users makes them switch to iOS, but I'd expect that number to be closer to a rounding error. From that perspective, the upside for Google integrating a similar feature into Android seems comparatively small.

Many alternatives exist but none reach critical mass because twitter has buy in from the major media outlets and the journalists they employ. Unlike other social networks that grew spontaneously, Twitter was effectively crowned.

Every twitter clone that tries to compete without first having the approval of the major media outlets will either be publicly ignored, belittled, or outright attacked.

Yeah, I really don’t think this will happen.

Google used to be really hands off with chrome and android but that stopped some time ago. Now both of them have captured markets and google is slowly making both worse for users and privacy. Saying this after having worked on and loved both products and teams.
The live IDE thing - which isn't a gimmick at all, in my opinion - really is the only thing left that sets Smalltalk apart in 2020. Besides that, it's a very simple, dynamic, single-inheritance class-based pervasively object-oriented programming language that doesn't do anything especially interesting these days. Of course, while it was being developed in the 70s, all that was pretty revolutionary!

The closest popular language to it today is probably Ruby, which was directly inspired by it and is similarly dynamic, single-inheritance, class-based, and pervasively object-oriented.
This seems true in any society. There will be power dynamics where fewer people will control and exploit larger numbers of people. The US has had a different experience post WW2 where power was institutionalized in Government agencies and unions but the recent anti Government hysteria seems to have broken that for good leaving the majority (once again) at the mercy of the wealthy and the powerful individuals.

> If productivity wasn’t the only goal, jobs could get easier in many ways - devs might get longer time to work on a feature, warehouse workers might get less aggressive targets on how many boxes are shipped per day, employees might get more vacation or longer breaks or 4 day work weeks.

then the company would produce less, so they would have less product to sell, leading to a decrease in revenue and therefore a decrease in wages. I'm not sure why this would be a good idea.

Fair points - Haskell is all-in on these ideas, and agreed that do-notation has power well beyond Result and Option. I regret including do-notation in my critique, maybe list comprehensions instead.

I think we disagree on what "different code" ought to mean. I have a C function which multiplies a list of numbers; I make it immediately `return 0` if it hits zero. In C that's the same function, just optimized; in Haskell it's a breaking API change due to laziness. I suppose the languages reflect that difference.

My bet is that it's MIT's Scratch. Notsomething used in production, but if you have a kid learning how to program these days, it's the obvious good choice (and I've done a ton of research).

The language itself is surprisingly pleasant to program (even for a professional programmer). The real problem is the lack of data structures (like a dict), so some projects (unfortunately, many my 7yo comes up with) become extremely annoying to program.
I don't get this comment. I've been in plenty of situations where I need something now. Doctors office, DMV, tax office, etc...

Android updated its permission system after iOS. You had to agree to all the permissions an app needed before installing it but they changed it to be progressive like iOS and I think it's more flexible than iOS now. For example, my phone has the ability to disable network permission for single apps like wifi, vpn, data, etc from settings.

Expert Advice from Women Building Careers in B2B Sales
Thanks for the nitter.net pointer -- I wasn't aware of that. That will be helpful.

I know (in principle) how to use curl to send an authenticated API request via HTTP. That's authenticated; you have to log in. I already have a twitter client for that use case.

There's also unauthenticated API access (read-only public tweets only, as you'd expect). (I assume this is what nitter.net is doing.) Less tracking, but you still have to request an API key, so it is under Twitter's control and they could in theory cut it off. It's still not supporting the basic web principle of "you can GET the flippin' data".

Anyhow, I'm glad this is getting some public attention. I'm a little surprised that I was the first one to make a fuss about it.
