It's only "dangerous" if being a young woman is somehow an intrinsically important transactional part of following the account -- if the followers feel like they're being defrauded or something.

But honestly, the people who have that association or who view following an account as some kind of relationship should be taking a look inward about why the physical characteristics of a biker are so important to them in the first place. I don't feel a huge need to make it easier for people to do something that I feel like they shouldn't be doing in the first place.

Down that road lies the segment of the Internet that gets mad when they find out a woman streamer is married because "she should have been upfront about it." And I just don't want to touch that part of the Internet with a 10 foot pole. I'm not worried about their ability to form unhealthy, one-sided relationships with people they've never met.
Imagine being an 80+ senior who doesn't have a computer or Internet and being told that the only way to register for a COVID vaccine is online. That's how our initial rollout was handled (Ontario, Canada).

This is precisely what I’ve found in my roles above senior engineering. Senior management doesn’t want you heads down in code unless you absolutely have to be. They want forward planning. You need to manage technically, the good part is that personality management is much much less of a distraction.

When did I claim to be okay with every loss of speech?

Every business and website since time immemorial has had the ability to choose with whom they do business, and what goods to stock and what not, and every publisher has had the right to choose which work to publish and which not. Despite common arguments, sites like Twitter are not the public commons, nor do they hold a monopoly on human communication, nor do they control public discourse.

Even Benjamin Franklin sometimes turned away people who wanted to publish slanderous material in his newspaper. Freedom of speech doesn't obligate all platforms to carry your speech - it never has. Twitter being able to moderate content and ban accounts - even the personal accounts of Presidents of the United States - does not violate freedom of speech.
Male or female, if you're very good looking, you probably could achieve some degree of success as a social media "influencer" these days.

With the rise of digital avatars that are testing the limits of photorealism, I'm wondering if your actual physical appearance starts to become less of a limiting factor for things like this though.

Twitter was the primary medium connecting the President with the people who believed that thy were doing "the capitol hill thing" at his behest. Whether that was his intention or not, Twitter carried messages directly from the President to people who acted on them.

Twitter was without a doubt important. It wasn't the sole player, to be sure, but they were a direct intermediary between a prominent leader and his followers, bypassing all other gatekeepers.

Perhaps he'd have switched to an email newsletter or Facebook or another social medium, but in the days leading up to January 6, it was very much about Twitter.
I must say Twitter is handling this masterfully. They already censored the president of the United States, oft-called the most powerful person in the world. The die is cast. Soliciting opinions now adds a layer of plausible deniability without changing things.

What could be the outcome? Will a cohort of COVID-deniers convince Twitter that everyone is entitled to an opinion, leading to the great unbanning of Donald Trump?
A little unrelated but this hits one of my pet peeves.

Why do people give things generic names that have basically no meaning? If I encountered the script in machine I would wonder “WTF does .macos do?” There is also no comment in the header.

I see that at work too. People give lists of certain element types the name “list”. So a lot of their code is full of classes with generic names like “map”, “list” or “config” and every time you have to look at the code and see what the thing really does.

Do people not work on large codebases?

Depends on the minority. The ever-present minority of people with merely different political views who can just comfortably wait until the next election, do not make an election illegitimate. But if it’s a religious or ethnic minority and its basic human rights and prosperity are threatened by the new regime, then that does suggest that the new government lacks legitimacy even if a majority of the population voted for it. And that was definitely the case with Egypt’s first post-Tahrir Square government and the Copts. A population cannot vote its universal human rights away.

Tmux solves this problem for me. I don't use the VSC integrated terminal at all. I have its scrollback buffer set to 1.

The reload isn't bad for me -- it even keeps my text editors open with undo history. I'm not sure if I had to do something to enable that. There is probably a way to make it retain the integrated terminal, too (though you should really use tmux, it's awesome).

Realistically, the person who compiled this script file to make the OS behave exactly how they desire is very different from the kind of person who says "Linux is free only if you don't value your time".

Personally, I like to keep to the defaults and prefer to change my own workflow to match the OS designers' vision of how I should use a computer, rather than to try to bend the OS to my priors. I understand why this don't work for everyone, but it has made my life much easier.

Actually with the font exploits an interpreter would be quite a bit safer. Many of the font exploit chains work by creating line vectors that result in an infinity or NaN throwing a floating point error (with the SeH handler already being overwritten). When running this by JIT... all of this is occurring on the physical CPU. If the floating point calculations were occurring inside an interpreter then the SEH chain can be protected by SEHOP/SAFESEH and the interpreter could implement bounds checks and while retaining the NX bit on everything executing.

People who aren't already educated are just going to have a laugh and leave with the same preconceived notions that they came in with.

Ask HN: How can I convince my employer to provide “unsubscribe from all emails”
The place I work has an extremely convoluted set of email settings. In order to stop receiving emails, you have to manually uncheck about 10 boxes, including a couple which are a little confusing from a UX perspective so it's not clear that they're actually checkboxes (although I don't think it's confusing enough to fall afoul of some of the legal requirements). Leadership doesn't want to provide an "Unsubscribe From All" option, because they a) don't want to make it too easy to unsubscribe; and b) want to be able to launch new products in the future and automatically opt people in to receiving email about them (with a "new" email setting that the user can then go uncheck). Obviously I feel like that's pretty disrespectful towards users, even if it's good for business (is it even?).

Has anyone fought this fight before? Are there any laws which I could cite (none of the ones I've looked at seem to specifically address this case)?
Run containerd and buildkit in a vagrant VM. You'll have a lot more control--you can pick what kernel you want (and even upgrade it as necessary), you can expose host filesystems and devices to the VM, etc. It's the same thing Docker Desktop is doing behind the scenes but now you control the full stack.
For a language that specifically says it has manual memory management, it makes sense that there are no implicit iterators. I guess what you want can be done at compile time and work without them, but probably it's a lot more work than what manual indexing requires.
These companies build for redundancy. Not in the sense of "we need 10 servers, let's have 10 more for redundancy" (that gets expensive when you have millions of hosts) but by scaling out across multiple regions/DCs/clusters/etc such that there is enough slack in the system to absorb failure of 1 or 2 resource units (DCs, fiber, whatever).

Also, widespread outages like this are seldom the result of insufficient capacity. They are almost always a perfect storm of several failures within systems that are individually build to handle adverse conditions. An example might be a bug within a task scheduling system that inadvertently scales down some critical service which in turn leads to something else failing to reach consensus or read configuration or who knows what. The point is that each of these components is designed and built to handle failure but something the holes in the cheese line up and the whole thing fails.

In this case since IG, WA and FB were affected it's reasonable to guess the failure was in some shared component like load balancing or task placement, though (as hinted at above) the origin of the fault is not necessarily in that component directly.

> HN neckbeard standards of “desirability.”

Offending people who express an opinion does not make the opinion wrong.

I heard this idea first from a woman. A friend of mine complained that when she was 20 years old, every man's head turned to her when she entered the room; but when she was 30 years old, her date's head turned when a 20 years old woman entered the room. On intellectual level she already kinda knew this could happen, but it still hurt a lot emotionally when it actually happened.

Hiding this information from young women is not necessarily helping them.

The problem with career is that for many people it is exciting at the beginning, but becomes a chore after a few years... with no end in sight. This also should be more emphasized to young people (of both genders). Enjoy the work while it's fun, but save as much money as you can for the years when it stops being fun, and think twice about sacrificing things for a career... or you might give up something you desire for something you will hate.

Oh, another thing young people of both genders should be told, is the ageism they will face in the second half of their careers. As another example of how the first impression of the "career" is not a representative one.

It absolutely happens, but less often than you would think.

It's not perfect but supposedly it catches quite a lot of bugs.

I think people's ability to detect fake photos have increased over the years. Consider the Cottingley Fairies photos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies), to my modern eyes, the fairies are unmistakably fake: the lighting is wrong, the resolution is wrong, the texture is wrong. However there were people who were convinced that these were real photos of fairies back then.

webpack can be made use-able relatively easily if you do not mount node modules over the shared file system.
I've been doing this for quite awhile with a volumes declaration in docker-compose that looks like this (running nextjs, assuming /usr/src/app is where your dockerfile has your node stuff):

(on service definition):
volumes:
- .:/usr/src/app:cached
- node_modules:/usr/src/app/node_modules/
- next_artifacts:/usr/src/app/.next/

and then in the top level volumes key defining node_modules and next_artifacts as blank/default.

That means I mount everything except node modules and the build artifacts so the shared filesystem does a LOT less work trying to sync stuff.
The downside, of course, is that I need to run npm commands both inside the container and outside if i want them in my IDE. A fair trade for decent performance.
That setup is still not as fast as native but definitely usable and does not send my machine into space header mode much more than normal usage.
Yeah, but you could play Duke on a 486, while Quake really needed a Pentium to get playable framerates.

It blows my mind how well those games ran on such primitive hardware. DOOM ran at 320x200, which is 64K pixels. On a 66 Mhz 486, that means you only got 34 clock cycles to render each pixel to maintain 30 fps, and that doesn't even include time for dealing with game logic!

You had direct access to video memory back then. Now, everything is abstracted away. I'm not even sure you could create an engine that rendered individual pixels while still maintaining solid framerates.

Heck, an individual's Twitter experience can be radically changed just by making some changes. A few years ago, I had pretty much abandoned Twitter. Like the GP says, it was a cesspool of negativity. And then I heard someone talk about the "cocktail party" strategy: "If you were at a cocktail party and ended up next to this person, would you hang out and chat? Or would you excuse yourself and go somewhere else?"

I spent about a week making decisions like that as I saw tweets scroll by. Every time I saw one where I'd answer "ugh, no", I just unfollowed that person. Soon, my feed was much nicer, and I started to get recommendations for more people to follow that added to my experience!
