I'm not sure why it's relevant that they have OnlyFans links, unless Amazon's position is that no one who has an OnlyFans or who makes adult content on other platforms is allowed on Twitch.

I've used Matrix for the past couple of years for work chat system, and I personally think that the thing is a fad at best.

Synapse is simply awful as a server implementation, and the clients are just simply bloated.

But if you are looking for a good federated, self hosted, and encrypted chat solution, for my own private chat system; I've gone back to XMPP - I've settled on:

* ejabberd (which is in Erlang so just by definition is going to perform leagues better than Python) - prosody also works fine (especially for "lower end" servers) - though both need a bit of configuration at first install

* conversations.im on my Android phone

* dino.im on my desktop (which recently added calling capabilities back to phones: https://fosstodon.org/@dino/106228549009869402 )

* (if you're on a Windows desktop): gajim.org is still making releases and works (including E2EE)

I do not know of a good iOS client for XMPP right now, but these three fully support OMEMO for E2EE and I've had no issues talking to others on them.
IMO for people who don't want to own a pickup, the Home Depot rentals may be a more convenient option. Especially since you're as likely as not buying whatever it is you need to haul from there.
The aesthetic industrial design of the Connection Machines is brilliant and iconic, and among the great stories around Thinking Machines.

I think the Cray-2 was its contemporary for a while, and also has some interesting design work (as do the earlier Crays), with a striking form that follows&exposes the construction.
Is there some background information you're referring to? Assault makes up the vast majority of violent crimes, so it's hard to see what it could mean for them to be done "out of sheer desperation". I can see how a desperate person might feel shoplifting or burglary are their only choice to survive, but how could they expect to benefit from punching random people?
That number was much higher a few hundred years ago I bet. We've wiped out a lot of the biosphere by converting wilderness into cities and farms.

Very 'Western Civilization'. Murdering is waaaaay more societally acceptable than the sexxors.
Citizen’s (heh) arrests are legal (in some jurisdictions and with some restrictions). I’d assume that’s what’s happening in that photo.
Not to say, of course, that owning an EV, a hybrid, or a Geo Metro (or a converted hearse with a Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine in the back) has nothing to do with signaling status....
For reference, [0] appears to be the referenced paper. The relevant passage:

> To understand how disabling these optimizations may impact performance, we ran SPECint 2006 with GCC and Clang, respectively, and measured the slowdown when compiling the programs with all the three -fno-* [-fno-strict-overflow, -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks, and -fno-strict-aliasing] options shown in Figure 9. The experiments were conducted on a 64-bit Ubuntu Linux machine with an Intel Core i7-980 3.3 GHz CPU and 24 GB of memory. We noticed slowdown for 2 out of the 12 programs, as detailed next.

> 456.hmmer slows down 7.2% with GCC and 9.0% with Clang. The first reason is that the code uses an int array index, which is 32 bits on x86-64, as shown below.

int k;
int *ic, *is;
...
for (k = 1; k <= M; k++) {
...
ic[k] += is[k];
...
}

> As allowed by the C standard, the compiler assumes that the signed addition k++ cannot overflow, and rewrites the loop us- ing a 64-bit loop variable. Without the optimization, however, the compiler has to keep k as 32 bits and generate extra in- structions to sign-extend the index k to 64 bits for array access. This is also observed by LLVM developers [14].

> Surprisingly, by running OProfile we found that the most time-consuming instruction was not the sign extension but loading the array base address is[] from the stack in each iteration. We suspect that the reason is that the generated code consumes one more register for loop variables (i.e., both 32 and 64 bits) due to sign extension, and thus spills is[] on the stack.

> If we change the type of k to size_t, then we no longer observe any slowdown with the workaround options.
462.libquantum slows down 6.3% with GCC and 11.8% with Clang. The core loop is shown below.

quantum_reg *reg;
...
// reg->size: int
// reg->node[i].state: unsigned long long for (i = 0; i < reg->size; i++)
reg->node[i].state = ...;

> With strict aliasing, the compiler is able to conclude that updating reg->node[i].state does not change reg->size, since they have different types, and thus moves the load of reg->size out of the loop. Without the optimization, however, the compiler has to generate code that reloads reg->size in each iteration.
If we add a variable to hold reg->size before entering the loop, then we no longer observe any slowdown with the workaround options.

> While we observed only moderate performance degradation on two SPECint programs with these workaround options, some previous reports suggest that using them would lead to a nearly 50% drop [6], and that re-enabling strict aliasing would bring a noticeable speed-up [24].

So you just said all non-English speakers use right-to-left? No, the direction isn't what's confusing me, rather the fact you're trying to score a cheap outrage comment, but actually wrote non-sense no matter which direction you read it.

How about maybe educate yourself a little, and rephrase your question to reflect reality, and we can have an intelligent conversation about it.

Most of the world uses left-to-right and top-down (yes look around when you go out and notice all the vertical logotypes in English around the city). Right-to-left is relative minority. If you have democratic thinking and we gotta vote for it, the winner is obvious. Yet, I'd rather learn to read fluently English in right-to-left than the current mish-mash of "whatever".

Also read about Korean. It was a top-down right-left language, today it's written left-right. People are surprisingly adaptive, you know, it's supposedly our top advantage as a species. No one is born with "right-to-left" grafted in their DNA. We honestly gotta tone down the ignorance in these discussions.

My native language isn't English, by the way. And I don't mind adapting.
These streams are closer to pornography than most people realize. There's a reason that these streams get so much attention: 14 year old young men love watching video games, so they go to sites where they can watch video games. If you start serving softcore pornography on the same website, well gee wiz, who could have guessed that it would be pretty lucrative?

You don't have to be a prude to have a problem with this. It's not a matter of stigmatizing sex work or being anti-women, it's about profiting by serving porn-lite on the same site where children are likely to be.

I don't personally care, but I'm floored that a company like Twitch/Amazon, with hundreds of people in HR and PR, would not play it safe and just ban it.
Advice for employer sponsoring ESL immigrant software engineer
We are sponsoring the immigration of a highly competent and intelligent software engineer, who is not at all fluent in English. He has multiple graduate degrees in computer science.

While he clearly has a strong conceptual grasp of the data models with which we work, he seems to lack conceptual understanding of the business case and business models on which so many of those data models depend. Much of the nuance and finesse of the discussion and analysis that goes into software architecture is lost.

As an employer, what can I do to better integrate an immigrant to our language and culture. Any anecdotal cases or insights of what worked for you?
There are around 700,000 police officers in the US. If one of them is caught doing something bad every day, that's 0.00014%.

US police in general have a lot of issues and need to improve dramatically, but the stories about cases of bad behavior are not representative samples, even if you factor in the amount of bad behavior that goes undiscovered.
How long does it take to open is not the meaningful metric; what matters is what happens afterwards.
And yes, most Electron apps do get sluggish under load: Spotify is alright for adding the first 20 songs; then searching >> adding to playlist takes twice as long; then triple that, and then it's downright unusable. "But 90% of the time it's fine...". Ok, but that didn't used to be the case with mediamonkey on a Pentium III, or did it?

VS Code is perfectly fine if you're being sensible: you're editing a dozen files in a single project. It's not not so fine if you've got 12 files open on three different projects, or you're sharing your screen, or you've never closed the editor for a couple days. It's being built with care, for sure, and yet you do feel the load, you do have to take resources into account, you have to be responsible. Do I need to Invest on higher end machine for the purpose of Editing Text Files? There are times on Emacs when I suddenly realize I've opened a hundred, 150 buffers, simply because I've never felt any load. And Emacs is the heavy one!
Sublime was the first editor I used "for real", and it was absolutely awesome. I switched to VS Code for all its shiny features and started to think that yes, it had its sluggish moments, but it simply saved too much time, it was way too efficient to leave. Well, it isn't. Lightweight tools have an steeper curve, but they draw no boundaries for you, they don't hold any usage agenda; they do, in a way, set you free.
I've tried it out, registered for the premium to check out the details.

Biggest problem: querying Firebase is problematic. I can bind a collection to a ListView, but in many cases I'd like to map a field to something. For example I have a list of "purchases" and I'd like to map the "buyerId" to an email address. This can't be done, and the generated code is hard to adapt to this kind of use case.

And therein lies the complexity to be honest.

I think it'd worth $30 just as a designer. But you have to be able to code.
Only if you didn't leave the US. Over in Europe (and I assume Asia) it was a constant source of problems.

Defense in depth: stopping a WASM compiler bug before it became a problem
If we want to know where we are going, we should just look at other countries with similar levels of rampant crony corruption and growing inequality. I'd say an example would be Brazil, but they actually build a lot more housing and have a stronger social safety net than the U.S., and a favela seems like a decent place to live compared to a ripped up tarp and some cardboard on the sidewalk.
Wouldn't a simple solution be to allow people to disable or hide NSFW streams? Reddit and Twitter both have this, IIRC.
I think there's a significant amount of nuance in this situation. On the one hand, I don't object to people steaming and monetizing suggestive (or even explicit) content. These content creators should be able to produce and monetize this content without stigma.

On the other hand, I do think the juxtaposition of this content with the rest of Twitch content is problematic. I think putting this content in the same category as gaming content unintentionally conveys the message, "Men garner popularity by exhibiting their skills, women garner popularity by exhibiting their bodies." I suspect this juxtaposition of the most popular male streamers' content with that of some of the most popular women's content on the platform and exposing this young people ends up fostering non-productive attitudes among boys and young men. Other women on the platform have complained about their audiences pressuring them into producing similar content. I've also heard from women and girls that it's off-putting to see the prevalence of women in bikinis, not playing any games, on a platform that ostensibly about gaming. I think Twitch is in the right to see this as a problem.

But what's the solution here? On the one hand, I think it's giving these streamers the short end of the stick to have ambiguous policies and issue unexpected demonetizations or bans. Maybe a more effective approach would be to have stronger separation between "just chatting" content and gaming content, to retain this content but mitigate the problem of that juxtaposition. I suspect this is what the "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches" category will probably be, but maybe it'd be better to spin this off into sister platform that isn't explicitly tied into gaming.

Also don't forgive debt or lost opportunity incurred by people of the same generation who were more frugal and careful.
Because as you get older over time you can observe how this kind of "content" messes up young peoples' expectations about the average human body, instills a shallow and superficial mindset about relationships, and generally does absolutely nothing of value for anyone except the parasite who is manipulating ignorant or desperate people using sexuality for profit.
Does anyone find it odd that on the numerous places this article has been posted on the internet, it says it is written by Ash Bennington, but the author references "asking Ash Bennington to look back on his years on Wall Street", then lists Ash Bennington's accolades, along with an unsourced quote from one John Carney? I am not trying to be snarky as the guidelines entail, but there are a lot of things here that seem unusual, the author seems to think a lot of himself

That’s a perfectly valid workflow. It’s what we do sometimes at AWS too.

If I were part of the clique that were unhappy with how bitcoin operated and who holds wealth and power in the world without the means of attacking bitcoin itself because of its built-in security features, yes, I'd start supporting it along with my comrades. This is not a theoretical thing either, happened thousands of times and it keeps happening as we are in the Cambrian period of this concept so lots of new things are being tried under different "brands". In the end, if the problem is solvable, a simple to use, not wasteful, programmable etc. secure distributed ledger will emerge. Then what? A group can't take over the existing one but if the needs emerge, they can create a brand new one and influence people (off silicon) to use it. Again, that is what has been happening since the beginning. Take the ponzi / get rich quick / I have no other hope mentality away and it will all be the same in the end - if they are used functionally that is.
I've always thought of entropy as gradients. The universe somehow started in a non-homogenous state and just due to statistics and random walks, will eventually get to a fully homogeneous state.

In the meantime, we can extract useful work from the areas in the universe where there are relatively steep gradients. Energy is what we call these gradients while we can still harvest useful work from them, and entropy is what we call it when near the homogenous state and we can no longer harvest useful work.

Is the information erasure perspective compatible with this gradient perspective, or is something wrong about viewing it as gradients?
That would be pretty sweet
Did you ask that before? What is your point?

Surely you recognize that these things lie on a spectrum. Is charging admission for beach volleyball a sexual service? No matter your level of prudishness, you will be able to find something that is right in the gray area.
Sadly, that's not a possible alternative behavior for a world where proportional fonts exist. It's for monospace only.

Yes, but it is more effective to let someone else own the second site that offers adult content. Then, for advertisers, there is no brand confusion caused by a common owner.
Here's the point, and I'll lay my cards on the table as being more progressive in the political spectrum. Progressives, by and large, don't actually care that our tax money goes to help a lot of other people. We actually like it, in fact. I do think that I should help subsidize the costs of providing things like postal service and broadband internet to people who live in the middle of nowhere. The paradox is that conservatives and libertarians are the ones who get all worked up about their tax money being spent to help others when, in reality, they are more likely to be net beneficiaries.
Perhaps your marketing efforts are directed in the wrong place. You are trying to convince digital agencies that they will be able to convince their customers of the value of accessibility. This sort of second order education is hard to pull off.

You might have more luck trying to raise awareness among businesses directly. If businesses start asking their agency/developer about accessibility, you'll probably see better uptake rates.
There is not enough money in it for Amazon to start ramping up in pornographic material. The chances of brand degradation, possible boycotts due to women looking young/revenge porn is much much too high to be worth it.
>Twitch continues to pretend hot tub streams aren't intentionally sexually suggestive. What a joke.

What do you want Twitch to do? Ban women from wearing anything than a Burqa? Or ban Twitch streamers from going to the beach?
You probably can afford a private security force right now. In LA rates are like $20/hr. Not sure what this citizen app is offering, except packaging an industry that already exists and trying to sell it at markup to people who don't know this industry exists. I guess that's a pretty decent business model actually.
Twitch is truly a mess... The enforcement is all over the place...

Not that Youtube isn't also "interesting" in some content moderation. Outright nudity is possible with thin veil of "educational" content.

I wish the platforms just applied rules equally and had clear rules. And not punish past content with new rules. But maybe that is too much to ask these days...

I've seen multiple streamers, especially women, who are playing games or normal twitch things and end up modifying their behavior because of fear of this rule. A whole bunch of twitch streamers are wearing slippers in case their feet end up on camera for a second.

The whole rule started because people were monetizing feet content which obviously leans lewd, but the poor rule targeting has ended up with all kinds of weird consequences.
The saying is “pride comes before the fall”.

It is more of a general principle of keeping one’s emotions at bay to prevent your biases from clouding the data and your judgment.

I am sure there are evolutionary reasons for pride (i.e. ego) such as helping you fight with intensity for scarce resources or for maintaining tribal bonds. But in the modern world, it those circumstances are rarer and someone can use it against you pretty easily.
I'm probably kind of ignorant here, but isn't there a difference between ISP and electricity providers though? When it comes to electricity, the infrastructure is used to bring the product (electricity) to the customer. When it comes to Internet, the infrastructure is the product.

Say the infrastructure is now open for all companies. What is now the differentiator between Comcast and Fios? The infrastructure and the bandwidth it can handle is what they are selling.
