Don't know if you meant it, but "knob", short for "knobhead", is offensive slang in UK. It's eerily fitting here, though (the idea that Twitter leadership might see their users as a bunch of idiots might... not be entirely false).
There are some rose-colored glasses involved, of course, but there are plenty of people who would trade some extra purchasing power for a better pace of life, more social cohesion, and the status that sibling-post mentions.
> in term of tech issues, not really no, it's not even close.

Like with IE that is the next step.

Once competition is utterly crushed, do you think Google "can defend" using tens of millions a year on this?

Microsoft "could not" and they have a much stronger history of maintaining stuff.

Why then would I think that a company that cannot even properly maintain their main public facing property, the search engine?

You know it used to be superior, today it is utterly meh, and no it isn't search spam sites, it is failing to acknowledge doublequotes and the verbatim setting. A billion spam sites cannot break that. Lack of competition can though.

If I am 'in the zone' and someone walks up to me I hold up my hand and say 'wait a min I need to get this down'. Then I write a note to myself to myself back where I was. I then help them. If someone says 'can you come back later' I always respect it. I also sometimes just tell people 'not right now I will get back to you in a bit' and it works surprising well. But make sure you come back to them at some point or they will not respect it next time.

My personal biggest issue is self interruptions. Mostly web sites that are distracting.
Sorry you had five bad bosses. I'm talking about standing strategy meetings, not stand-ups.
You're being way too sophisticated with your analysis here.
This CFI implementation makes &func be different values in 2 different loadable kernel modules. C says they should be the same value. What do the language lawyers among the compiler writers, who explain why the execution of an entire program is rendered meaningless by undefined behavior, tell us about this? What is the definition of the language compiled with CFI enabled (it's not C but some close relative)?
I found this Tyler Rogoway article quite compelling: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28640/could-some-of-th...

The fact is that when pilots say 'there's no way a balloon could do that' or 'that doesn't look like any drone I ever saw'... pilots aren't necessarily best placed to assess the realistic flight possibilities or appearances for a drone or a balloon, because they're imaginign balloons and drones they've seen before, and aren't considering the range of possibilities for what could be created.
> can behave like immature divas

I remember reading once that Mike Myers, while filming the movie "Wayne's World", came out of his dressing room, found that there was no non-dairy butter for his bagel on the catering table, flipped the table over in anger and returned to his dressing room for the rest of the day.

That sounds like "immature diva" behavior to me. Saying "you want me to deliver the best product possible, and I want that too. In order to do that so that we can both come out ahead, I do my best when I can focus on making sure I get every detail right" seems far less immature. But maybe that's just me?
I had a brief foray into Twitter, but had to stop. I followed my senator and found that no matter the post, the replies were filled with obvious disinformation, flat out lies, and irrelevant accusations.

I remember one person posting hand drawn graphs without a scale claiming global warming is just a cyclical process. Does it makes sense to report someone for bad science? They probably believe what they posted to be true, and others who read that unrefuted reply may begin to think the same. So I tried to teach critical thinking to random people on Twitter, but as you imagine this was a fools errand.
> The broadly-accepted imperative requirement is "vaccinated", as in "do not enter without a mask/etc unless you have been fully vaccinated". There is never a reference to "inoculated" (to wit vaccinated or had Covid and recovered).

As can be concluded from my post: Where I live vaccinated and recovered are treated the same, at least for now.

> Furthermore, there may not be "official documentation from your gov't and official health body".

Where I live there are laws what is permitted in super markets, restaurants, bars etc. And there are recommendations from the official health body that is responsible for the Covid topic. Often they overlap, sometimes they don't. But I think currently both agree on the vaccinated vs recovered point.

All that is said just to sync up on facts. I'm not trying to convince anybody of changing their interpretation or opinion.
The most interesting thing about all of this is the US Navy's apparent pathetic inability to acquire, identify, or even image with any fidelity, numerous potentially threatening objects moving freely within the vicinity of its state of the art vessels.
It will be interesting to see how the mobile based options drive competition. I think T-Mobile and Verizon are available in the $50-60 range at my house. At some point AT&T will have gigabit so I'll have 5 options with Starlink in beta.
"If you are not an unsophisticated reader, you truly do not enjoy reading."

Just... no. Don't tell me whether I enjoy reading based on your standards of how I do it. Your way is not the only way.

This is just an arrogant author who's not bringing any actual substance about the topic.
I'm not ashamed to not take part in the conspiracy theories and racism that is a part of all of these lab leak discussions and behind many of the comments. I see the situation the direct opposite than you: I have added proof to discussions about the virus and every single time it has been heavily downvoted if it wasn't anti-china or pro lab-leak. Only when adding sources that prove I'm right do HN stop downvoting (but of course by then most have moved on which is why it ends up in one-use account discussions). The ideas that couldn't and still can't be discussed is truth that doesn't agree with what most Americans believe and that haven't changed at all.

As it is now we have a huge majority in these discussions that believe that because we haven't found where the virus came from it must be from a lab for the simple reason that almost everyone "know" that we found the source in a few months last time (SARS-CoV) while in reality we have still not found the source after 15 years of hard work.

On top of that these discussions are political in nature when it becomes anti-china or pro-US or whatever and by then should be downvoted.
Yup, and then you try to upgrade them over the years. Oh the joy. Keeps you in a job anyway. Maybe that's the real reason for react fervour!
"Choose" is an interesting word to use in regards to something designed to be addictive.
The trouble is, there's no way to know that the seller threw away their copy of the private key.
It seems to me that the problem was too much scheduling.

If it really were just producer/consumer workflows one frame would have been lost, the program would be comparing images two frames apart and seen it moving twice as fast as it was supposed to, this would have caused a minor excursion but then the next frame would be right and it would very quickly have settled back down to proper flight.

The problem is that it wasn't simply comparing frames, but it had an internal clock the frames were being compared against.
Both have vendor lock-in though. A WordPress site is portable, it runs on anything with PHP and MySQL. SQspace and Webflow only run on their own servers.
To some, that is probably a desired feature, not a bug.
Often times this is when the asker is failing to articulate a similar question.

Even in those cases, it's still just as easy to merge/reference the other question as it is to antagonize the asker.

The point is that it's advantageous for everyone involved to help an asker ask a question instead of berating them for their inadequacy. After all, inadequacy is a key attribute of people with questions.
I take my initial comment as a bit of a vent. I don't really take my others as being -- unless I'm mistaken. If it is venting, then I have more sympathy with the downvote.

Logan's Run was a dystopia.
I have the opposite impression as you. Honestly, you're one of the only people in this thread who engaged with the author in a respectful way, and I thank you for that. I agree with you that the author needs to do some work on the marketing side, and the helpful pointers provided here by you and others will hopefully move him in that direction.

Still, there are others in this thread who should be ashamed of themselves. We have people implying the author is childish, outright calling him disrespectful, calling his project a joke and a parody... it's all really quite sad. I mean, here you have a guy who has put years of work into a project, who embodies the hacker ethos, and a community of self-described hackers can't push past his lack of marketing ability to engage with the technical merits of this diamond in the rough. Set the marketing on the main page aside, and you have a 136 page technical reference (linked helpfully on the front page) that contains a lot of great info. Yet the closest anyone came to engaging with it here was to complain that it's a PDF.

I think this twitter thread had it right about the community here: https://twitter.com/rikarends/status/1382759991162068995

Which baffles me to some degree. You'd think this community, of all communities, would be welcoming and inquisitive when confronted with strange new ideas, despite bad marketing. The community is not just technically focused, but built around a startup incubator whose founder warned of this exact dynamic! And yet all we seem to get is superficial discussion related to marketing.
If you're on *nix, I've found that middle-click will usually work even if "CTRL-V" or right-click->paste is disabled. Something about the handling of Primary Selection vs. Clipboard in X11.
I did the exact opposite. I think I've told my story on here already.

April 2020 I gave up on CA's leadership and bailed out of the state. Best decision ever.

I bought a 16x7 trailer that's extra tall. Ramp door. $6200 brand new. Filled it with stuff, pulled it 2,000 miles and put everything in a storage unit. I looked at 16 houses in 2 days, made an offer, got an accepted offer and pulled the trailer back, empty.

That house fell through in the home inspection. No vapor barrier behind the brick and manufactured stone. Whole east side of the house would have to come off to just inspect the extent of the damage. The owner gave me an attitude so I bailed. I kept my plans, however.

Memorial day weekend, 2020, I had rented a 26' uhaul and a car hauler. $5,400 one way out of CA, and keep in mind I was ahead of virtually everyone else doing the same thing. I went to Tahoe (Incline Village, actually) to rent the uhaul on the Nevada side. Actual cost, $3,300. Look at my big brain.

I loaded that uhaul, put my minivan on the car hauler, loaded the minivan, loaded my trailer, and hooked it up to my land cruiser. I then moved my family of 5 2,000 miles into a rental. Put most stuff in the storage unit / garage of the rental and started looking for houses. Found a great place, passed the home inspection, bought a great spot. Moved my stuff out of storage/the garage and into my new place in July and I've been here ever since!

I've gotten rid of about 4 substantial items and added 3 new ones. Things like entertainment centers, kitchen table (have two dining rooms now, with a real formal, so I needed one of those) so it worked out.

Fuel budget for a 6k+ lbs land cruiser pulling a 8,000 lbs trailer is something like $650, in 2020 gas prices, each way. Even pulling it back empty is almost the same due to the lack of aerodynamics on the trailer.
New ideas aren't always great ideas.

And to counteract it, a sufficiently long-lived humanity might actually have to deal with the consequences of their own actions. Right now, there's quite a lot of folks who are of the mindset that they'll die in ten to twenty years, so why should they care? It's a generational pass-the-buck.
The idea is that the etymology points to a previously unrecognized bit of history. The word comes from some parts of engineering that aren't usually thought of as programming history.

It's not that we should study that instead of the concept of program, but that it adds a new thing to study in addition.

Is that actually important? Only in the sense that history is important at all. They trot out the "doomed to repeat it" cliché, which is true enough if a little scattershot. I mean, sure, all history is good history to study and we never really know what's going to inspire somebody to think in a particular helpful way.

So rather than try to justify it as "No, seriously, this is important", I'd say that it's better as "Hey, here's this cool thing we just realized." Which is probably more like finding an easter egg than anything of really cosmic importance.
> Of course, that's a built-in assumption. Another built in assumption is that it is a 1:4 or 1:8 F-35:Super Tucano ratio, since it is a "mass" strategy. A lot of cheap "good enough" assets instead of fewer incredible ones.

Considering that an F-35 currently goes 20:1 with F-15's the ratio with a Tucano could easily be 1:100 or even 1:1000. Given the speed and range differences F-35's could likely return to base, reload and return to fighting the approaching Tucanos for a 30:1+ ratio on the Tucano's for a given wave.

The salient datapoint would be when it is cost ineffective to shoot A2A missiles at the Tucano/Drone and the F-35s simply wouldn't be able to reload again.

It might be thoughtful, but it is incredibly dismissive of what it takes to be creative in other disciplines, i.e. painting. It effectively reduces the work of the artist to simply the state of a canvas. As if what's on the canvas encompasses the entirety of what it means to be an artist.

In my limited experience in the creative realm (music), it takes an incredible amount of flow and concentration to get a thought or feeling out of your head and into some form of recorded medium. I can't just stop cold, wake up the next morning, listen to what I was working on and pick up where I left off. The creation is a product of a fleeting experience that can't easily be recreated.
Does it ever make sense to sell the ability to turn off ads?

I imagine the majority of people willing to pay for such an option are power users, the same group that likely generates the bulk of advertising revenues and lives in countries with high CPC.
Yep, my recurring theme is "take the time to understand the use cases and tradeoffs of the tools you're looking at, and pick whatever actually solves _your_ problems".

Btw, it is actually possible to use Redux Toolkit's `createSlice` API to create reducers just for passing to `useReducer`, even if you don't have a Redux store in your app - after all, reducers are _just_ functions. I've done this several times myself for cases where I wanted a well-TS-typed reducer with some complex logic in a plain React app.

And yeah, my co-maintainer Lenz Weber is a TS genius, and has done an amazing amount of work over the last couple years to improve our TS handling in a lot of cases.
You sound like a scrum master.
Of course selling one's body doing prostitution is bad, I don't know how that's even an arguing point. Not all "freedom" is good, some of it is destructive, like the example above.

Straw man fallacy.
There's https://github.com/t3chnoboy/awesome-awesome-awesome a meta list of other lists-of-lists. And before anybody gets the idea: awesome-awesome-awesome-awesome already exists.
Totally agree that the devil is in the implementation details which can make or break the idea as a whole.

One potential way to mitigate these risks is to have the fund be set up with a strict breakdown, say, 20% of the dividends can go into a pot that the government can use for discretionary spending, and 80% goes to the people equally divided as a dividend, and the only way to change this percentage is with a 2/3s majority. The percentage split and the consensus threshold are certainly debatable.
I wonder : IPs are considered PI (heh). So does this mean that badly implemented QoS can end up violating RGPD ?
You should sit down and read the reports and realize users are harmed by this.
What's with all the bible quotes around here lately?
Sure, it was the "moving with just a briefcase" I was commenting on mainly, not getting rid of superfluous stuff - which of course by definition you don't need.
That's not how it really works in practice though because you follow humans who are multi-faceted instead of (human, topic). It is hard to be someone in the public eye and stay out of Twitter drama without turning your account into a RSS feed where you don't engage at all with your followers.
Where do you get the electricity?
When I used to have a multi-monitor dev environment, I did accidentally paste a password into Slack (left screen) and not Chrome (right screen). Immediately deleted the chat message and had to cycle the password.

This is the only issue I've ever had with copy/pasting passwords, it only happened once, and the site preventing me from pasting would have done nothing to prevent it.

I don't understand the rationale either.

Also, double validating passwords should allow for pasting to promote the use of managers. Forcing users to type them in creates more possibility for mistakes - you can type the same wrong password twice... Muscle memory is funny that way.
I hope Mozilla is watching closely. If (and it's a big 'if') this proves successful, it's an important datapoint on the viability of paid-for utility services on the web.

No, Firefox isn't the same thing as Twitter. But if large numbers of people show willingness to pay $2.99/mo to change the app's theme, surely there's enough privacy-conscious people that would pay similarly for a browser that was commercially incentivised to protect privacy rather than monetise it.
You're not paying for the feature, you're paying for the UX, which is gated behind their unusable API (so it's impossible for a 3rd party app to achieve parity with the 1st party app).
Was excited to be able to pay to kill ads, and was shocked that that isn't one of the "features". Ever since cutting cable, I refuse to pay for any service that still tried to monetize me further (looking at you, Hulu.)

That's probably how they can hit the $3 price-point though, I'm sure targeted Twitter ads these days bring in a lot more than $3/user/mo.
Occam's razor breaks down precisely in the long tail.

> The thing is, these pilots have instruments, jobs, and mindsets that are intended to handle known things. They are neither impartial nor critical observers. The key thing is we don't know yet what they saw, nor do they. We don't even know if these are "objects" or sensor/sensory "artifacts".

There's a lot to unpack here.

Yes, they are intended to handle known things. Drones, weather balloons, cloud formations, jet plumes. These are all known, and our observations do not match them.

Impartial nor critical? I would suggest you watch the interviews with the pilots from the USS Nimitz incident. It's mentioned a major reason we don't hear a lot of these accounts is because of the stigma of reporting UFOs, which is why his copilots have been silent on the matter until now.

Lastly they are real objects. Multiple eye witness accounts with multiple radar signatures, from carriers and jets.
I assumed it'd be like Gmail unsend: wait a little bit before pushing the tweet through, so undo can 100% make it as if it never happened.

More deflection from the not so mainstream media outlets who pretend not to be aligned with the MSM.

The next "scandal" is the issue of thousands of people dying needlessly because the Govt, FDA and NIH claimed that there were no outpatient treatments available for Covid and drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine were ineffective.

The infamous "stay at home until Covid begins to kill you" scandal.
Unplayable for me. My character's movements are very rough and they're jittering all over the place.
> there’s a ton of non-uniqueness in that approach for a platform with millions of users

Sure but context is everything.

Chances are millions of users aren't all posting in the same thread / post / chat room / etc. at once. There might only be a few dozen or even hundreds of them, and the odds of hitting 2 people with the same name + similar color are really low then. Plus on top of that, some users will have custom avatars they've uploaded to make the sample size even less for running into a collision.

Google also happens to use the random color + first initial pattern too and they have over a billion users. It works, even in a busy Google Doc.
But would you consider paying to use Mastodon, or one of the other open source alternatives?

Hopefully this makes it easier for them to support themselves.

Hey, thanks for that! I can probably require Codable (even though it has been around for a while, I've only been using Codable a few months).

I'll probably do that. I started it years ago, so it has a lot of legacy. I will probably do a refactor, when I come up for air. A couple of my libs could use a facelift.
No, for the original Alcubierre, its warping spacetime around the information and moving that pocket. The ship or information or whatever is still traveling inside the pocket at its normal speed. So while it could be virtually instant (ignoring energy requirements), it wouldn't be time travel. However, I believe you could arrive to your destination and look back and see yourself before you warped - and maybe as you traveled - as the light catches up to you. At least that's my understanding.
> I think T-Mobile and Verizon are available in the $50-60 range

5G is unavailable in my area, so I haven't been able to see plans. Are there data limits? Throttling after a certain amount?
The "point" or benefit of a twitter thread as opposed to straightforward longform is that each tweet (sentence or paragraph) can stand alone (in terms of liked and retweet circulation) as well as being a part of a broader piece.
Would it still have ads?
I'd say unique enough to differentiate people within a conversation, which is good enough for a lot of use-cases
This applies only to routine tasks. Those coding a game while streaming, do a known type of app. But when you do something new, which requires focus, research, it's a different story. IMO.

Disagreement motivates downvotes more than agreement motivates upvotes. Given the two topics, you will have a sizable group that feels strongly against the conventional wisdom.
