That's what I don't get. I looked through the available documentation briefly and didn't see any mention that this is intended to be a `mrustc`; it really seems to want to be a `rustc`. I'm not aware of other GCC frontends being less than complete compilers for their respective languages, and while I think that "rust without borrowck" is an interesting point in design space (discriminated unions, generics, macros, traits, closures), "rust without borrowck" is not rust.
Why not? Works for me.
Indeed, and time should not be wasted on those who argue in bad faith.
I read your long winding post and it still is unable to address my points. You are just beating around the bush with all sorts of analogies.

It's funny to see how the left wing was crying over censorship in Parler now suddenly says that Parler was banned because it wasn't censoring anything. Isn't this what leftists were saying just a year back:

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200627/23551144803/as-pr...

Here is another quote from Amazon's email which talks about Parler removing violent posts:

"You remove some violent content when contacted by us or others, but not always with urgency."

This is Amazon crying about Parler removing violent posts but "not always with urgency". What the actual fuck? Why should Parler do anything with "urgency" just because Amazon asked for it? Is Amazon the US Government? I have been reporting accounts and tweets for months on Twitter and it hasn't yet been removed. But Amazon is greater than you, me and everyone else. If it asks something you better deliver immediately or else you'll be booted from their platform.

But they are doing nothing about the low engagement violent tweets on Twitter which is hosted on AWS infrastructure. I haven't seen a bigger bunch of hypocrites in my life!

Amazon doesn't realise it but it has given so much ammunition for Parler to sue in a court case. They literally have admitted in the email that Parler is removing violent posts but not with the same urgency that it wants. Well news flash: no social media platform in the World removes any post with urgency. I sometimes get notifications for reports I had submitted months ago with "Sorry we did not find it violating our policies and it cannot be taken down". On posts that are literally violent.

Unless you have used the garbage reporting system that these social media companies have in place and experienced it first hand you don't have any right to talk about Parler and its efficacy in removing illegal content.

Microsoft controlled the platform but they didn't gatekeep or skim money off of app sales the way current app stores do.

gab got de-platformed and the mob didn't come for anybody else...the world moved on. not everything is a slippery slope. tons of people criticizing it on twitter/fb and they aren't being censored.
I am not experiencing this.
Yes it is, it's marketed as 'pyrolytic', it's the norm above roughly £350 and unusual roughly below.

But yes, it is just an element that can go hotter and a shell that can withstand it. Ovens are incredibly overpriced for how rudimentary they are IMO. Ripe for 'disruption' if you had something non-bullshit to compete on but price - sizing is already standardised.

This mostly matches my experience...but I wonder if it ignores significant costs.

In particular, how this impact long term maintenance vs. the desire to build new interesting things? (e.g., see https://themaintainers.org/). And what about people who just enjoy the act of coding — of wizzing through tickets and gathering points?

For another potential cost, take the example given of the Like button in the piece. I'd be curious what Justin Rosenstein now thinks of the example of the Like button. The author says "The business impact of this button is well in the billions: allowing Facebook to (re-) target ads, and "track" users outside of the Facebook site. [...] Everyone is better off for it: the people with the idea and the business." Does everyone here include the users and world?

Perhaps if we had better metrics, this SV would work for everything. But in the current world, with profit, data, and growth metrics being incentivized, it may have real societal costs.
That makes moderation Gab’s responsibility. Wanting a space that operates outside of the accepted norms means that you have to maintain that space on your own. If you can’t do that to the legal requirements, you shouldn’t exist.
I once had a rather prestigious developer position in a Silicon Valley company. The "approachability" was a double edged sword.

One problem I fought was that a lot of people expected handholding from me, or wanted me in their meeting to "feel important." There really is value to having your manager act as a gatekeeper.

Another problem I had was that less ambitious people in other departments (support, qa,) would throw their work over the wall to me. I eventually had to get involved with triage to train the other managers to push back on this.
Isn't this overreach?

Exactly! The soviets and communists were not showing complete lies about the west.

>Hollywood is a private business as well. They were within their rights to make a blacklist. And people cheered on big business for protecting them and snitched on their friends to their employers, just like they're doing now

I'm not seeing the parallel to Stripe choosing who they want (or don't want) to do business with.

Especially since there is no "blacklist" circulated and used by everyone in that industry.

Stripe doesn't owe anyone the right to use their services. Just as an airline can bar anyone for most any reason (unless that reason is membership in a protected class[0]), Stripe can do the same.

When I was managing engineers, I would insist that the engineer talk 1:1 to the engineer on the client (or customer) side when doing fixes or feature enhancements that happened to be requested from outside the company. This always caused consternation among scrummasters and product managers, and there always had to be a discussion about it. But it sped things up tremendously, because the engineer could do things like say "well, what if we did this other thing instead, which would give you what you need, and also solve another problem we have". In almost all cases the other engineer was happy to talk to our engineer, and very easy to work with.
This needed to be a private conversation as well, so that both parties not need to worry about optics. Preferably phone.
Once a scrum-master tried to insist that these conversations take place on a public slack channel so that we could "capture" it! And yes I understand why, but it would have skewed the process into something less effective.

> Most legal systems have concepts of being an accomplice, criminal negligence, constructive possession and so on. So it seems reasonable that a website which help crimes be committed or hosts illegal content on its servers should have some liability or requirements on taking reasonable preventive measures.

That doesn't follow at all. If you get on a Greyhound bus with the intent to get to a place to commit a sex crime, Greyhound would "help crimes be committed" by carrying you to your destination, but they're not the police and it's not their job to investigate you before allowing you to travel.

> Especially if the website is made aware that such crimes are being committed.

There are two different versions of "made aware" here.

One is that a court has decided that something is illegal and ordered them to take it down. I have a hard time believing that they don't comply with that.

Two is that somebody claims that something is illegal, but the website is neither judge nor jury and has no competence to adjudicate the claim. In this case it's not at all unreasonable to refer you to the actual court system, which will bring you back to number one.

The fact is that all of these alternatives are designed to be an end run around the constitutional protection of speech, by foisting the messy process of determining what's illegal onto a platform that can claim it isn't subject to the First Amendment, instead of a government body that is. Even though it's a government penalty being imposed for not removing what is, in practice, a body of works some of which are lawful speech.

> All you’re stating is that you have confirmation bias and don’t like seeing ideas you disagree with.

Well ideas that I think are factually wrong, yes. HN is the only place on the internet where I find myself regularly having to prove that Julian Assange isn't necessarily a saint and that Donald Trump is corrupt.

Also, if (let's say you're right) it is merely confirmation bias - surely that means that we can infer that I have at least identified a difference, which given that I am an almost card-carrying capitalist should illuminate that I'm not marx-reading perpetual-protestor.

Hackernews doesn't have a partisan right-wing (it's poor terminology, but it's getting late) bias, but there is an extremely contrarian streak in the bowels of almost any not-yet flagged thread involving politics. For example, the Parler thread is not flagged, the Capitol Attack thread was flagged almost immediately and then dang resurrected it.

I recognize by name quite a few people on this site, I'm able to read the room. After all I'm still here at least every day.

Also, Basic Income is not left-wing policy in any way at all unless your litmus test for that is caring about poor people at all - it's effectively submitting to the free market which isn't exactly sporting for most socialists.

What a surprise...

I've said this before and naturally downvoted by the suddenly zuckerburg loving anti-free speech crowd, but we really need to investigate the "cartel-like" collusion amongst in the tech industry. Expand that to tech + news collusion for a broader scope.

The behavior of the tech industry is far more of a threat to democracy/unity/etc than trump in my humble opinion. I can't believe anyone even supports it at this stage, but that's political partisanship and propaganda for you. Heck you could even call this a soft tech coup...

Edit: Hilarious, a downvote within a second.

Also for the record, regarding uncledave's general principle:

> Being impressed with the very small changes is a symptom that there are lots of small problems.

This is directly contradicted by my use case on my XPS under Ubuntu 20.04. I no longer have "Gnu anxiety" on my laptop-- the overarching fear that the values for the next default behavior I run into were chosen at random by troglodytes.

Suspend/resume just works. I haven't fiddled with a single touchpad setting and it works the way you'd expect on a Chromebook. Camera works, audio is fine, battery life is decent, and so on.

I did get a tinge of anxiety when clicking the desktop scaling setting, but it seems to have worked perfectly so far.
I have occsssionally espoused "metric-driven-development" where a metric is defined and measured and then a release is tagged with that metric - and over a period the release is seen as a success or fail if it moves the metric.

This keeps everything focused on the important usually externally facing issues.

I don’t know if you were paying attention last week, but the mob literally came for the members of Congress.

There are wrong opinions, and then there is “six million Jews were not enough” and “hang the Vice President”, and a violent mob attacking the Capitol. No one is under any obligation to tolerate such actions in a civil society.

If I advocate for your murder, am I just expressing an opinion that should be consequence free if someone kills you? Does that change if enough people agree with me that you should be killed?
But it's the implication, because you can say the same about every big corp competitor, and even about big corps depending on when you draw the boundaries.

Banks accounts? All internet presence? Neither of those things is happening. They still have websites, not to mention a press secretary with the world’s press at their feet.

Minimizing it to just wrong opinions? NAMBLA, look it up, is still around so stating this is about wrong opinions is ignorant.

I’m fairly certain that attempting to overthrow the government to get your desired election result is fascism. Saying we will have a trial by combat just before telling protestors to head to the Capitol sounds a lot like a call for violence.

Technically it’s not illegal is a big deal when the law in question is the 1st amendment of the US constitution.

Moderation is the exercise of free speech by the companies. It is government regulation of their moderation policies that would be censorship and violation of their first amendment rights.

Should the government be able to force Twitter, Facebook, or you personal blog to carry spam ads for “natural male enhancement” pills under force of law?

Again, what you are advocating for are penalties levied against private enterprises by the government. I do not understand how this is a better than the status quo where someone is banned from a website and faces absolutely no legal repercussions. Please help me understand.

> The only thing I expect to act as an Explorer window is … an Explorer window.

One thing I wanted to add from my perspective (software engineer, use Linux and Windows): if I observed that the “save” button had created a literal Explorer window, then I think I would expect it to function as a Explorer window. I’m not surprised by that because I can recognize that Microsoft has taken the approach of implementing everything they can using Explorer. This gets back to what was discussed in the article actually!

Overall I think I prefer the approach Apple takes on this problem.

Disclainer: KDE dev so take my opinion with a pinch of salt :p

The decision by the Ubuntu Studio variants was made by the Ubuntu Studio developers and not by Canonical. The developers are also maintaining Fedora Jam with KDE installed by default too. Unfortunately all the big commercial distros are using GNOME as default DE because RedHat is providing the commercial support for GNOME already and it's easier for them to just make the same choice. So I don't think Ubuntu will switch to KDE anytime soo, even if GNOME developers don't like Ubuntu and make their opinion very public.
