They do support copy and move, which I think is clearer that the file doesn't get deleted if you don't "paste" it (and safer than if it did).

It's probably annoying to learn a new paradigm, but you could make the argument that it's worth it to learn something that isn't lying to you.
We used Gather.Town for a virtual conference, a substitute for an event I've been running every November since 2010. It went really well, capturing the unique aspect of my event quite well, and mostly "just working". I was particularly pleased at how it mostly "just worked" for people who aren't into gaming or similar environments.

Not perfect, but it was pretty good, and people liked it.

Has anyone recently tried searching for ‘Signal’ to check this? I don’t see any Facebook Messenger ads personally. Think this is a bit of marketing from Signal.
> This underlying principle would argue that democracy itself is unjust...while such an argument is technically true, we have yet to find a better way to structure society.

We certainly have found a better way to structure society: a Constitutional government that honors certain principles that even the democratically elected Congress and President can only override with much more than a majority, with judges trusted to guard those principles.
The way this forum was purged from the internet is making me uncomfortable. I never used Parler, and I really don't care about the fact that it's gone. But the way that a handful of private companies effectively decides who gets to reach an audience and who doesn't is deeply troubling. We're increasingly becoming a world where what is and isn't allowed in the public sphere is controlled by a handful of corporate leaders.

I'm not worried about some moustache-twirling plot where tech companies effectively become the illuminati. I'm only slightly worried about politicians using the threat of regulation (e.g. revoking Section 230) to leverage companies into prohibiting things they don't like, or content favorable to opponents. I don't think many politicians would do this - the risk that this manipulation gets discovered and publicized is probably too great.

What I'm most worried about is good-intentioned censorship that further divides and alienates large sections of our society. These bans play directly into the narrative that leftist tech companies are excluding and pushing out conservative voices, and it's having the opposite effect of what is intended. For instance, suppressing allegations of fraud is likely having the opposite effect: it's triggering a reaction along the lines of, "well clearly there's something afoot, otherwise why would these companies be deliberately shutting down talk of fraud?". Who here has ever held a view and was banned from a forum, or told to stop by the forum's authorities, (electronic or otherwise) for that view? Did it make you change said view, or did it make you even more entrenched and suspicious of the authority that issued the ban? That's what I'm most worried about: companies ostracizing certain groups or topics with the intention of curbing extremism, but to the effect of fostering ever greater extremism.
Strange thing: Open Collective's offers fiscal hosts for simplifying paperwork, but if you select the Open Source Collective as your fiscal host, donations are not tax deductible because they say "the IRS doesn't consider software development a charitable act" or something. But there's so many software non profits in the US and I really don't understand that claim.

So Open Collective has another fiscal host for charities and those donations are tax deductible, and I'm now trying to figure out what the difference really is as I'd like to set up my own charitable organization to fund a farming robot I am developing.

Anyway I could almost just say Libjpeg-turbo could set up an opencollective as their whole mission is to solve the paperwork problem for open source projects, but for whatever reason their open source software donations aren't actually tax deductible...

Does anyone here know about this IRS issue?
> presents a challenge to the business model of freemium services

Only if your freemium business-model is based on selling user data. The GDPR is not concerned with microtransactions or lootbox gambling - and you can even run targeted advertisements to your users, all provided you don't try to make an extra $4/yr by exporting the data you've gathered (i.e. it is your own first-party ad targeting logic, not third-party ad targeting).
as materials, carbon steel and cast iron are extremely similar, except that carbon steel can be stamped rather than cast. in practice, this means that carbon steel skillets tend to be much thinner than cast iron ones. durability would not be an advantage I would attribute to the typical carbon steel skillet. a cast iron skillet is pretty much indestructible; if you drop it from stove-height, it would be more likely to damage your floor than to shatter. a carbon steel skillet can easily warp if you heat it up too quickly, which is not nearly as great a concern with a heavy cast iron skillet.

I have a cast iron and a carbon steel skillet. I will always reach for the cast iron to sear a steak, but the carbon steel skillet gets used for pretty much everything else.
I'm not sure what the point is. I'm sure not interested in any sort of VR teleconferencing and I don't really want Second Life 2.0 either. I do think easier sharing of sketches and the like might be interesting--although that tends to require some commonality of hardware and whiteboards don't necessarily scale down to iPad size very well. (Furthermore, just shared docs actually serve a lot of the functions we thought we needed whiteboards for pretty well.)

Whatsapp isn't close to a monopoly in the US. Here iMessage, SMS, Snapchat, and Facebook Messenger by far have greater market share. You can argue that FB Messenger should be linked to Whatsapp for the purposes of anritrust, but even then, there is very healthy competition.

They made the whole editor open source, not just a portion of code.

And there is a closed-source product they have (pylance) which they have developed compatibility for.

Pylance is NOT part of VS code - It is compatible with it.
Since https://reviews.llvm.org/D86841, ~ Aug 2020, Clang is able to reason about the forward progress guarantees of the input. For the LLVM-IR handling see https://reviews.llvm.org/D86233. While we are still adding more fine-grained support of different language standards and corner cases, e.g., constant loop condition in C vs. C++, you should be able to tell LLVM a loop is allowed to loop forever w/o side-effect. In fact, that is the new default. That said, LLVM still removes calls to functions without side effect unconditionally. We are working on that, i.a., https://reviews.llvm.org/D94106.

I'm confused, what is the relevance of that to this problem? Wherever the results are coming from, ads will have to appear before them pretty much by definition, right?
This is normal. What is exhaust data for the primary source is primary data for the secondary source.

For data you always want to go to the guy for whom the data he's giving you is the thing he does.
Those who work at Facebook, of which there are many on HN: how do you justify or rationalize your employer engaging in behavior like this?

Do you not think that it's terrible UX, to have cmd+x followed by cmd+v for cut and paste in some places and cmd+c followed by option+cmd+v for cut and paste in others?
No. Just, no.

I said app store team not Apple overall. To Apple its revenue, to the team running the store app its a cost center. Or maybe a better way to say it is that the gains from improving user experience do not trickle down to them enough. After all, many many teams will claim credit and take a slice of that pie. However, only a few teams can claim credit for ad revenue. Within a large company the goals of the company and the goals of individual teams are rarely fully aligned.
I'm all for arresting anyone who plans specific violence. Before/after the events at the capital, I don't care. Go arrest them. Banning one site just moves them to another and gives them a persecution complex. 12months in prison for conspiracy to commit public disorder is a much better deterant for future planned insurrections.
Parler ban pushes random app 'Parlor' to top of app store charts
Interestingly enough most of this applies to one of the SF tech darlings I worked for when it was growing between 200-1,000 people. Every day I'd get either a pile of Jira tickets or a PDF full of mocks to build. Several projects I worked on were canned at the last minute by the "product" clique.

I don't think it's about SV companies against traditional companies, but more about companies that intrinsically value technology versus those that do not.

Feel free to delete this if there is another thread I can't find.

I am no Trump supporter, but this is the modern version of a book burning.

The two points of contention in my mind:

1) At what point does a platform or technology become a "utility", with the appropriate regulations and guarantees afforded that legal status?

2) When will companies learn, if you want to control your own fate, you can't build your house on someone else's property.
You’d have to prove conspiracy, but there’s no reason to believe any of these businesses conspired with each other.

Then they shouldn't be using Signal either. Signal is not peer to peer at all and doesn't even federate.
And this isn't 1910. The British Empire no longer exists, meaning that the infrastructure to support an Imperial Navy no longer exists either.

The UK is beholden to the US for its naval support. When push comes to shove, the US will prioritise its own vessels and the Royal Navy will come a very poor second.

But this is no different to how the German Wehrmacht treated its Austrian and Hungarian allies in WW2. Things never change.

These are neat tricks, but they are now completely different data structures to the original one (and, IMO, maybe not all that great a data structure, in that it seems to be a festival of special cases and clever hacks). Once you're willing to allocate large blocks of objects, all sorts of things are possible, but you have to be ready for radically different performance properties (not always bad, just... different).

The XOR-trick is curious (if weird) because it preserves most* of the properties of the list structure. Traversal is almost identical to that of the original list in machine terms. Maybe an additional cycle on the critical path; probably not the worst thing in pointer chasing code.

* you do need to double the size of your iterator, so if you were needing to stash large numbers of iterators relative to the number of linked list elements, this wouldn't be a particularly nice trick.
Lua's arrays/tables are more like hash tables, with an ability (still true? been a while since I've done anything with Lua) to optimize if you use a contiguous range starting at 1 for the key. But yes, you can use an arbitrary key.

> I get that it's not trivial to set one of these up (especially for someone who is already in a funding deficit), but I think it would make donations a more attractive option for people.

Is there any sort of general purpose tax exempt org for funding free/open-source software development? Someone makes a tax-exempt donation to that org, earmarked for a particular project, the org forwards the donation to that project as a grant (minus a deduction for admin costs/etc). Then on-boarding a new project would mean just getting that project approved as a grant recipient with that org, which presumably would be a simpler process than setting up a tax-exempt org from scratch.

They don’t “realize it’s pathetic” because it’s SOP for companies buying ads to bid on their competitor’s name. You can argue that that is pathetic, but this one instance isn’t special.
> for a while we were working on fixing that unhappiness

who is "we" in this statement? and how were the things from your first paragraph being "fixed"?
Hehe, yin-yang just happens to play well - whether coincidence, serendipity, or faith perhaps Andrew has Yang as a last name, as his policies will certainly lead to removing friction from the system while fuelling democracy, journalism, and people's lives to have UBI $ to spend - which will immediately increase the economy by ~12% - which will lead to further innovation; and the buying power of "$1,000"/month will increase exponentially as we automat more and more things.

Biden won, that's reason enough to reignite your optimism - even if it's just a little flame. Then stimulus-survival cheques will go to many that desperately need it. Then everyone will get vaccinated for COVID and things can begin to open up again. Yang is running for NYC Mayor - though not officially announced - he's registered to run + there's a video of him doing a Mayoral run announcement video. Yang, then if it makes sense, will run again in 2024 - "instead of that single $2,000 stimulus cheque - how much would it have helped if you got $1,000 every month?" Etc.

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions." - Yup, though how much is perpetuated purposefully by Democrats vs. the narratives that mainstream media (or whoever else has influence on what they say) is unknown - but it happens. It's why social media is good because it allows people like Andrew Yang to have a voice - someone very articulate, very understanding of the problems, and has figured out the solutions which he's able to clearly explain. We need many more Andrew Yangs.
Twitter itself is open to conservative views. It’s just not open to outright lies about factual matters of critical importance, or to incitements to violence or the overthrow of the state. Surely one can express conservative opinions without resorting to such things—and most do.
Appeasement was quite a famous issue in WW2.

I'm not arguing for rule by simple majority. I do agree that important things need the consensus of much more than 51% of society (let alone 51% of people who bother to vote).

If it were only a simple majority of cloud hosts, text messaging services, email providers, and lawyers that ditched Parler, they would be in no danger at all.
I recently bought my first carbon steel wok and just today I put in the time to properly season it. Naturally, this evening I did my first stir fry with it and it was a blast! Cleaning was pretty simple. After I had finished eating I put some water into it, got it boiling, and used the spatula to scrape of the crusty bits. Then I cleaned and rinsed it under running hot water with some support of a brush. After a bit of drying off back onto the stove set to high to dry - and to polymerise the remaining traces of cooking oil to reinforce the seasoning. Cool off a bit and then apply a very thin layer of oil for protection.

That might sound a lot, but it really only takes a few minutes!

I'll do this every time after using the wok. I expect it to be good for a very long time. There might be easier ways to achieve this, but that's what extensive research has taught me to do.
When combined, Ctrl-K focuses the address bar with a `? ` prepended, which turns it into a search bar. (In the most recent version it replaces the `?` with the name of the default search engine, similar to Chrome.)
Yahoo Search used to have a list of brand keywords that advertising was restricted on. Not perfect but covers the vast majority of cases especially if you allow additions over time. Apparently since then the courts have ruled that it's not a legal issue so it's not done anymore.

I think its almost the inverse: if there were 1m comments on Facebook/Twitter about it, they're among 1trn other comments on Facebook/twitter. If there 100k comments on parler, that's 10 times less. But there are only 100k (edit: 250k) comments on parler total and they're often about violently defending trumps "victory".
There is no singular monetisation strategy in Microsoft, it’s a bit more complicated than “all in on Azure”.

It's not clear if this whole goofy thread arises from anti-Hindu prejudice or opposition to democracy?
This sounds super cool.

A few questions, if you don't mind:

1) Do you have any examples of the kinds of "actions" you execute (and what you would write to execute them)? Is the text also in some kind of strict DSL (e.g. @ firstname lastname number to add a contact?)

2) How do reminders work? I'd assume only at-least-next-day ones work well if you only execute/set them at EOD. Do you use them more to remind you of daily things in the morning, or do you have your phone ping you throughout the day as specific-time reminders kick in?

3. Are you planning on releasing this as an app? Planning on adding any support for people adding their own glyphs/actions? (I ask because I've been tempted to do something similar, but moreso for worldbuilding -- where I jot down character/location ideas and OCR them into notebook.ai later or similar). Does it work on any notebook, or do you need a special one to anchor for OCR accuracy?
Education is not experience. It can help deal with situations similar to the past but it is far from sufficient to make up for the 50 year problem.

Yes, I didn't say it above, but the best thing you can do, maintenance-wise, is just use the pan. Anything that makes that harder (requiring unusual ingredients, making cleaning harder) is a net negative. Anything that makes it easier (having oil at hand, soap and sponge to clean it) makes it better.

It's not a shortcut. It's the only way to form opinions outside of your expertise fields, because you simply don't have the time to personally research everything.

That's why it's very important to have a healthy dose of skepticism when receiving info from people who we trust, because we chose the gatekeepers based on our opinions which implicitly selects for our own biases.

For example I don't actually know that the election wasn't stolen. It's an opinion that I hold due to choosing to trust a specific gatekeeper (main stream media) and a lack of hard evidence from the other side. If hard evidence were to be presented, the I would have to reexamine my beliefs even if they go against everything I believed in previously.
> there is no excuse to keep using Gnome.

Don't know that I agree there.

I actually really like GNOME's workflow on laptop, especially with Pop OS's extensions.
Windows' file picker is actually an almost fully-featured Explorer instance, and is easily accessible from any application with a single function call. The "loose components" model that a lot of OSS seems to follow means that things like this require more effort, despite the fact that GNOME is supposed to be an integrated environment.

What’s the point of doing a whole upgrade of the GTK toolkit while ignoring this problem?

An unfortunate consequence of the incessant trendchasing that has taken hold of the software industry, closed and open source alike. Frankly, I am as puzzled as the article author how solving existing problems is somehow shunned in favour of ignoring them and making "new things"... which usually tends to just create more new problems instead. No one seems to value stability and the strive toward perfection anymore. This phenomenon has been ascribed to "resume driven development", but I'm not sure if that is completely responsible for it.
I believe Julia lets you do this, although I'm not sure about the ease or generality of it.
Generally, yes. Though, as always, these things are hard to summarize in one sentence and depend on the standard version (pre/post C++11). This post might shed some light on the options we are considering for Clang right now: https://reviews.llvm.org/D94367#2489090
If the owner of the search index is also the advertising broker then you end up in situations like this. If the search results themselves are effectively commoditized, then the advertising layer becomes less of an issue.
I think the key is whether you consider an engineer a business person. That is what links most of the things in the article: a business person needs to know certain business things to be effective, and so if you're considered a business person you get told things like what the competive landscape is, what the budget is, and so on.

For me, the engineer is actually the only person who can do those business functions properly, if the business is solving new problems (rather than a cash cow). I tolerate people who aren't engineers, because I often can't avoid them, but once you get more than a few of these people in your business, things get awkward for the actual engineers.

I also tend to think of engineering as more than just coding. An essential part of it is communicating. You can't do that without technical skills, there's just so much friction.
