My local tennis club only publishes to Twitter. They do not operate a mailing list anymore.

I want to play tennis, be notified of same day court cancellations, be notified when new classes are available to book.

I don’t want to use social media.

What do I do? Give up tennis? Move to a different district where they don’t use Twitter? Set up a gofundme to depend on strangers to stump up for private lessons? Or suck it up and be an unwilling user of social media?

So I suck it up and use Twitter.
Normally recruiters are super excited about their tech stack, framework, and tools. Somehow they are looking for a senior developer to be thrilled by tools. There is no such thing as a senior hammer user or a senior shovel user, so I don’t know why software gets this so blazingly wrong.

Worse is when this becomes a conversation with a hiring manager and they are somehow shocked by your complete lack of total excitement about their framework. Once it becomes clear they are wanting a tool jockey instead of somebody to write software I have already lost complete interest. It might as well be a dead end career telemarketing at that point.
If you use `pass` I wrote a little plugin to export the values as environmental variables in a simple and consistent fashion:

Well to be fair even if India wants to play by different rules, it's important to be consistent when making policies. Social media isn't a new thing in India and the recent clampdown suggests that the government no longer has the most influential voice in social media channels. I also don't think Twitter cares too much about India because the moderation is pretty awful, but when it does moderate some powerful politicians, all hell breaks loose. A similar thing happened in Nigeria, where Twitter censoring the President caused the government to block the platform. It's inconsistent and makes the government look weak.

The recent intermediary rules are vague and broad enough that even independent news publishers appear to be targeted. The rules are probably unenforceable too, going by current law. Similarly, e-commerce rules that apparently target Amazon to "help" small traders don't seem to apply to domestic e-commerce marketplaces.
Eye rolling on a claim that "X is religious" when it can be just a simple "X is a cognitive and organizational tool" seems fair to me.

Specially when religious people are so fond of calling something religious when that something has nothing to do with religion
Atheists have faith that there is no supernatural diety.

Every time a bug is found I ask my team to write a unit test for it to prevent regression for that bug.

During peer review I encourage Engineers to verify that the actual business logic has been tested, for example calculations.

If done correctly, a low unit test coverage can actually be of more quality than enforcing an 80% threshold
D-rex, discord bots made easy
- Instagram piggybacking off of Twitter & Facebook to grow their own network

- Imgur piggybacking off of Reddit & then grew into their own platform

- Red Gifs piggybacking off of Reddit NSFW sites to post short porn clips (idk if it'll be successful to monetize though)
Google makes a lot of its own network equipments and doesn't communicate about what is running on it. Most of it is security critical.

Fuchsia might be used more widely that we know inside Google.
> Specially regarding word of mouth.

I think this should be seen in combination with the point about "intrinsic virality" being a growth strategy. That is what a lot of us mean when we say the words "word of mouth", but Emmet is making a distinction here to say that word of mouth doesn't happen automatically, just because you have a good product. There needs to be this element of intrinsic virality - because users want to watch streamed games with their friends, or want to share and talk about them, or because they want to share this funny meme from your product, etc. I've seen founders with a vague idea that word of mouth happens automatically like osmosis, that once you saturate some people with your product they automatically spread it to others. Emmet is warning against that kind of thinking and making it explicit what you can control and create to possibly generate word of mouth on the users' end.
>just like every other sentient species that has ever existed

Such as? What are some examples of these other sentient species that have disappeared into a virtual reality of their own design?
I'll be blunt, I don't think this is true. I fully believe that forcing a recruiter to operate on your terms comes across as inflexible and I doubt they like it, but I don't think it will hurt your employability at all.

If a company could afford to purge people for being skeptical of recruiters, they wouldn't be spending money on recruiters. Engaging in recruitment by definition means you don't have an adequate hiring pool.

If you want me to talk to you, you can make time in your schedule and I can keep my number secret. I don't work for you, I don't need to be flexible. You reached out? Then you operate on my terms. That's completely reasonable and anyone who tries to suggest it isn't reasonable, is being unreasonable - and I think any protestations to the contrary are probably hot air. If they want me, that's not going to be the tipping point (nor should it be).
Rockets aren't inherently expensive. Air travel would also be prohibitively expensive if the aircraft was disposed of at the end of each flight.

> Rust proves it’s possible to do efficiently. One day we’ll get there.

Rust is only memory-safe and only as long as you stay away from unsafe code. It is not magic pixie dust.
Yeah, there is a sharp divide where you can get a LTO-3 drive like Ultrium 920 for as little as $40 used while LTO-5 (first to support LTFS) and newer quickly go into hundreds and thousands of dollars. I actually considered getting an older one but was concerned about continued availability of media.
> So the simple narrative that the US is printing money to fund all these stimulus packages is false?

yes, it is false. The funding for these packages are done via lending - the US gov't borrows using treasury bonds, which is sold to whoever that wants to buy it (via banks as intermediaries).
Enabled them to do create them cheaply, sure. Enabled in the first place? I don't think our profession is that shitty.
> politics/government, corporations, the military.

+political factions +institutionalized science +media

They all tell us what to think, "trust us we did and will do the hard thinking for you".
But they still have to be cleared by legal. And for the past 6 years lots of Apple PR put out were lying by omission. Both Qualcomm and IMG's case has plenty of concrete evidence.

For example

>> we do not advantage our apps over those of any developer or competitor

They could redefine the word "advantage" or "competitor" in this scenario where the above sentence would be factually correct.

However in court, it becomes quite clear Tim Cook does't care about the PR speak. He does when he is in front of media, but not in front of court. So I am now convinced "someone" deciding on the tone of PR has been sending these memo and infecting Apple. And I would not be suspend if he/she came from Google because they sound exactly the same as google in the early 00s. And it changed after Katie Cotton retired mo 2014.
Sidenote: I really like the cookie consent form on this site. It's unobtrusive, clear, opt-out by default and the highlighted and only button is "Continue to site". And it even has a built-in GDPR request form! Bravo to https://www.clym.io/

Nice article, covers the basics well. Credential files seem like simplest way to go and are secure enough for most local uses. For anything more involved a secrets manager is probably required.

The argument is not that the science is same as religion.

The argument is that individuals dont rationally objectively verify or figure out every experiment and scientific claim. I stead, we all rely on trust to institutions and processes to tell us how it is.

Which is how it is. Most people dont even know how science actually work beyond elementary school level of simplification. And even if you actually do science as a job, you know only small part of it relying on trust everywhere else.
ITER (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER) comes to mind.
Why can’t they just introduce a new private keyword, i.e. private let myVar = 0;
Agree about the call thing. I assume it's because getting you on the call increases the chance that they'll be able to sell you on a lemon of a job.

Another thing: just tell me who the job is with. This makes a big difference, and is also going to influence whether I'll get back to you.

I tried gemini, i like the idea of a frugal web protocol, it's just too esoteric as it is IMO. I like different but it felt just a tad too much and too crude.

The best IRC admins are levelheaded and slow to anger.

Andrew Lee doesn't seem to have found many such people when he recruited new volunteers for Freenode.
The same cognitive defense mechanism that prevents me from being religious (which I wanted, tried but couldn’t) also prevents me from adopting ideology.
Variables are never truly private in the compiled JS though. You can fake it using clever closure techniques but there are still ways to access the vars as I understand it. This is fixing that at the JS level.
You have to solve these things with a job queue system written in any other language or using any other databases as backends too though.
I use it mostly for memory completion. If something comes up in my mind and it's older than a few years, and I have no idea what prompted it, then I just record it and anything in relation to it.

Some things I am not sure about so I prefix them with a question mark. If I'm not sure about the spelling of the word itself then I start the word with a question mark.

If I was with the thing itself in the experience that a memory is referring to then there are no reference marks as prefixes (the symbol I chose may not have been the best choice), but if the thing was mentioned etc. then I put however many reference marks as a prefix to express how many jumps I was away from the thing referenced.

So there are groups of things that act as a placeholder.

When I am reviewing, sometimes I can quickly look at the placeholder and jump to a memory that is even 'fainter', and sometimes see what I think is the reason why the thought re-emerged in the first place (usually what seems to be residual curiosity).

Sometimes it prompts me to quickly search for a name so I can see what the person looks/looked like etc. That way, labels that keep resurfacing become more than just empty placeholders; they become contextualized. It's basically just declaring curiosity, and I can just leave it as a placeholder if I don't care to explore it any further at the time.

I also find it good at exploring situations I feel embarrassed or awkward about. When I write, I cut out any grammar, emotions, concern for style or correct wording, and just focus on what things I have associated with them, so that I can do more to 'see' a situation as it was, regardless of how I felt/feel about it. I think that has helped me a lot in accepting how things are.
Private class properties have been highly requested for nearly a decade since classes were first mentioned as a part of ES6, since almost after ES5 was formally published.

This is wanted to make the language more friendly to CS graduates and Java developers who are otherwise not comfortable using the language without the OOP they cannot live without outside this language. As an example, when I have had discussions about this in the past most proponents had no idea how scope works in the language.

You are safe if you are vaccinated. It doesn’t depend on what other people do.
I assume it was just to make the argument more pointed; I skipped over the word "female" by accident and the message is unchanged.

If you wouldn't want to make this kind of discouragement with women founders, you wouldn't want to do it with men either, and I assume that's what sillysaurus meant.
> Europe is also taking steps to get rid of Facebook, Twitter, Google and other SV darlings.

As a European. This is a big lol.

Just because the EU, German and French bureaucrats occasionally go on a powertrip and make a big huha about some service or another doesn't mean they are actually going to get rid of it. And just because politicians often bluster about some service or another, often spurned on by local lobbyists doesn't mean they will replace it, rather that they might invest a couple of million into a replacement that then instantly fizzles.

The German press lead by Springer spent years and year mobilizing their politicians against 'Google News' and the laws that came out of that were 10x worse for Users then anything Google would ever do. In the end Google News is still there and even if it wasn't, its hardly a relevant service.

So if it takes a decade of blustering and legal battles to maybe get few cent out of google for google news, how long do you think it would take to 'get rid of' them.

That is if you equate viewership with revenue, but most Twitch streamers I have heard talking about this is that the income from advertisements (scales with viewership) is lower than income from subscribers/donations (also scales with viewership, but more so with willingness to donate).

Did you get an ADM-3A?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A

>The initials "ADM" were referred to as meaning "American Dream Machine" in some advertising.
No, you did not claim that. You said that the reason "society optimize for how easy it is to start a business" is that "new companies create jobs" which leads to the safety net.

That implies that making it easier top start a business is a requirement for the safety net; after all, you wrote that funding for the safety net is the reason creating companies should be made easy.

It follows that wherever there is funding for a safety net, businesses are easy to start. So how come that in Europe businesses are -allegedly- so hard to start, but there is a strong social safety net?

TL;DR: Europe is proof that it's possible to have a certain level of regulation to business while still having enough successful businesses to fund a strong social safety net.
To learn rust I tried to port a thing I previously made in Javascript. It felt like if Javascript is a straight hallway with booby traps here and there Rust is hallway with huge bank locker doors every few steps.

I felt drained managing lifetimes in attempt to create a factory for different 2d drawing implementations using different libraries and have left it there.
You can also sneak in free will via those effects. The narrative of a purely mechanical deterministic world has fallen apart probably more than is recognized.
so..... how do you know to optimize this as a factory function / "class" in your JS runtime with reusable instructions that just use an instance's scope in order to get good performance and memory usage.... When all that's being spat out is a JS object, that the user could very well modify in the next instruction, 30 instructions time, or conditionally based on some other checks?

And it's still a pretty ugly way of defining a class like object without the syntactics.
It's a shame it can't add on any innovations that didn't make the cut to the current web, such as Ted Nelsons parallel documents.

Seems like any interest in making technology more than a replica of reality has disappeared. Maybe its even going the opposite direction, that what we have in reality is too complicated to recreate so the digital becomes more constrictive than the real thing.
They're replacing Linux with another open source OS so they can make it closed source? Riiight.

I think the main reason is so they can provide a stable driver ABI so that it becomes possible to update Android.

They're probably also frustrated with Linux's security (hence this post) and having to maintain out of tree patches (e.g. Binder).
What friendship?
If they only published the information via newsletter you'd need to subscribe to that. If they only advertised via newspaper spots you'd need to subscribe to the paper. These are natural social pressures that you're succumbing to and that's fine, that's how society works. None of us is an island.

In any case, you're not being forced to engage with Twitter's algorithm _beyond_ what you've bought into via your engagement with the tennis club. And the tennis club wasn't forced to engage with Twitter in the first place, they chose to.

I think the problem could have been avoided if she had entered a less strict convent/order (I imagine such a thing exists). That way she could devote her life to it yet still have visiting rights under normal conditions.

As an anecdote/aside, I have a long time friend who - when we met - wasn't religious or spiritual in any outwardly noticeable way. She had a handful of interests, enjoyed discussing many life topics, and had a well-paying sales job with a good company. As the years went on, she had three kids from unhealthy romantic relationships, became more and more spiritual and gave up her job to start a part-time, new age micro business. Not only did her income go way, way down to the point that she constantly struggles to pay her bills, but everything she says is spiritually-motivated. In a real sense, she stopped being a person and became a mouth-piece of her spiritual beliefs. I recently realized she's no different than a monk or a nun (whose beliefs are weaved into everything they say), only she still lives in the real world.

As a result of all this, our deep and diverse weekly discussions became less and less frequent (to the point of being almost non-existent), not to mention extremely unidimensional. She might as well have gone to live in a convent because I lost my friend all the same. Am I happy she's happy doing what she loves? Sure, but I also mourn the almost complete loss of the person I knew.

I really like the idea but reading this in the FAQ disappoints me: "Gemini has no support for caching, compression, or resumption of interrupted downloads"

Back in the day in the time of BBS with Fidonet or Usenet, I really liked the offline first mentality. With zmodem you had compressed and resumable downloads, with Echomail and Fidonet and POP3/Usenet you had offline first forums.

But the same FAQ says Gemini is also for those:
"Interested in low-power computing and/or low-speed networks, either by choice or necessity"

This seems to be contradictory. Have compression, caching and resumable downloads omitted by default for the sake of simplicity or can it still be added to the protocol?

What's the rationale? A more formal seperation of simplicity of presentation and use within slow and frequently disconnected networks?

That if you for example want zstd compression you can use a VPN? Or that if you want resumable downloads or caching you can use a local proxy?

With the right proxy or browser one could emulate Gemini experience with the regular www, similar to using the old Opera Mini or force Reader View, block all images, javascript and ads on all sites. Wouldn't that be 'better'?
A fiend of mine works at an Audio Reading service and they have wanted to improve their volunteer recoding workflow for ages. This sounds like it could have potential for them, and js / php might even be better than alternatives in their case.

What's a snollygoster? A short lesson in political speak (2012) [video]
Federated platforms can create scale while fostering diversity. This is how we're all on the Internet today, and not on some proprietary Compuserve BBS. Forum software should be built on modern Fediverse standards.
The reason this happens is not because "large organizations move slowly" or "interoperating with old systems is difficult". Rather, it's because the people who are directly responsible for ux, error messages, etc have no incentives to do more effort than bare minimum. But changing these incentives is usually orthogonal to the career hierarchies of these organizations.

In businesses like in the article, acknowledging that software development is now the main value creating activity means rebalancing the rank hierarchy and revoking old career ladders and promises. To avoid this, they need to treat software and developers as peripherals, like copy-machines and technicians.

The hope/belief behind this is that the current pain of software is temporary, and eventually good cheap enterprise software will be available to everyone, similar to things like gmail and salesforce.
So doing good is a bad thing now? Not the whole world follows the US approach where only making money seems to count. Luckily.
