Here's an idea. If everybody who dislikes Facebook removed their profile picture, then it would quickly become a dull place and people would flee the platform.

Alternatively, instead of removing one's profile picture, one could replace it by the Mastodon logo to make a statement.

If that were so, why censor mentions of it?
Yeah I wonder why. Maybe it had something to do with the needless second war in Iraq you instigated?
This is not a very convincing argument at all. Syntax highlighting takes away the mental burden of analyzing the syntax of a program, freeing the programmer to think about the structure and semantics of it. A good IDE (a good vim setup can count too) goes further, making the structure and semantics of a program more easily discerned.
> terrible network

And it's worse than just reliability. It's also performance.

TCP just does not work well over wireless networks. Its congestion control is designed to allow multiple TCP streams to coexist on a network that has steady bandwidth. It works fine if the network layer is basically stable and the problem is sharing it.

On mobile networks, the available bandwidth fluctuates wildly over a short time period. When the bandwidth drops, TCP backs off exponentially, and when the bandwidth returns, TCP does not ramp back up quickly enough. So it ends up sitting around doing almost nothing when there's bandwidth available.

So even when the network is working, native apps typically perform better because they lend themselves to separating network activity from user interaction. With the web, unless you do a single page web app, navigating to different screens and views of things tends to be a page load, which is just too slow too often.

Why is it wrong for a corporation to support or denounce state laws that has nothing to do with their business?? How can anyone not see that this is a double edged sword??

Because that’s how we will end up being ruled and controlled by corporations who will now start to influence legislation.

Because it would take half a second for this to flip and work against us. Not necessarily wrt abortion laws. Abortion laws are low hanging fruit. What else will salesforce influence or support or interfere with to retain its talent?

Not to mention..the strength of a generation that flees any situation that might be uncomfortable or unacceptable. No one digs in their heels and fights for what they believe. Why? Because the current generation have no beliefs. They never had an opportunity to form any thoughts or opinions as they have been nannied by state run schools who made all their decisions by pushing parents out of parenting responsibilities and duties. Hence they flee.

And corporations which have taken the baton from state run schools now herd them and then influence legislation. So now the loop is complete. America is toast.

They do? That's not been my experience. Is there data on this?
Keep telling that to yourself. Getting rid of a prosecutor investigating your son's company because of 'corruption' smells of corruption. That more members of the administration supported it just smells widespread corruption.

I would hope so. On the other hand, if 9 of 10 people on your team opt to leave the state and you're the one who conspicuously doesn't, maybe your choice will be perceived differently. I would hate to find myself in that sort of situation. And elsewhere in this discussion I see mutterings about staying to vote blue being pointless because of republican gerrymandering, so evidently staying-to-vote-blue isn't seen as seen as worthwhile by all.

I don't have any insight into how many Salesforce employees will take up this offer, and I think that proportion will impact how those that stay will be perceived. All I know for sure right now is I'm glad I don't live in Texas, so I don't have to make this decision for myself.

I went to Stuyvesant high school, and graduated in 2000. Stuy was a few blocks from the trade center, and I had friends who were still in high school that day. I knew people who saw the first plane fly in.

Was a bad day. There was a part of me that felt a weird guilt for not being there. Like, as a lifelong New Yorker, the trauma was part of my birthright somehow, and being away for school made me feel strangely removed when I felt like I should be feeling it in my bones.

My mother had PTSD for a good while afterward, and she lived way uptown from the trade center.

Was a bad day.
That makes sense; there's always a tradeoff. For me, it was a lot of work to switch from Jekyll to Hugo, and for some, that's not worth it.
I built a super cheap "traditional" dry sauna. It's basically an electric burner, a pot to increase surface area and humidity, a 25 foot roll of thermal foil, and a sleeping bag as the ceiling. I disassembled the burner, removed all the plastic pieces, and short circuited the safety cutoff. It's jank AF, but in the end less than 100$. AFAIK there aren't any dry saunas under $1000 - the heater alone is ~$200. Mine is also portable, so it's in the garage in summer and in the laundry room in winter. There are portable infrared saunas for ~$100, but most studies are on the "dry" type. I rubber band a block of ice to my phone and do my reading/social media in there, so the time cost is reduced.

I've been censored in the exact same way for linking a friend to relevant government legislation. I think it's a combination of the tone / wording coupled with something about my posting behavior (I took a break for a while then came back). I dunno but it was annoying as heck (though somewhat understandable) that there was no way to appeal.
There's no reason to believe that the language would be. Performance of the compiled code clearly depends on the quality of the compiler. Iirc, Turbo Pascal passed arguments to functions in registers when it could, C compilers back then didn't. Pascal's calling convention also used less space (hence it being an optimization option on some C compilers). On a 8 bit machine, that was important, less so on the 32 bit machines of the 90s.

In the eighties C was considered slow. If you needed performance, you coded (the relevant part) in assembly (or machine code). C actually allows you (for the better or worse) to incorporate assembly code right within a C program, a desirable feature then. Turbo Pascal (on CP/M) only offered the same for machine code.

While I was fond of Turbo Pascal in its days, C was just so much more flexible.
I figured they just like it that way for the deniability, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Air_Transport
The desirable aspects:

0 state income tax. Low housing cost, and low cost of living in general. Culturally diverse (Asians, Hispanics), with large urban centers (Dallas, Houston, Austin).

What is the violation? I'm serious. If I post a link to a target product page on walmart it will be taken down. I'm sure amazon does the same. Do business have to allow you to promote their competitors?

Such a weird thing for regulators to be chasing - there seems to be so many more obvious issues than this. Is this a political winner - in other words, does the average person think I can put of Burger King flyers in a McDonalds store?
Gerrymandering still requires significant popular support. In a two party system it can drop things to at minimum 25% vs 50% support in theory, but in practice it’s hard to maintain below 40%.
If the minorities have better access to birth control, they’ll end up going to school, having greater opportunities for upwards social mobility.

The only thing that bothers these people more than a non-white is a non-white that has more money than them.
Surveillance of public spaces with some controls (like needing just cause or warrants or a human in the loop) seems appropriate and obviously useful. This would allow police departments to more easily track and apprehend criminal suspects. I don’t believe the frequency of biased policing to be significant enough to offset the clear boost to pubic safety this would bring.
Write data privacy laws which apply to surveillance cameras which require commercial entities to disclose what information is being collected, how it is being shared with provisions banning certain kinds of collecting, sharing, and storage with regulatory fines, criminal penalties, and provisions enabling class action lawsuits for misuse or other banned disclosures.
Unfortunately the title makes a small logical leap.

From the article: "Her team combined data from different species in different places. Since they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet, she says, climate change is the most plausible explanation."

While climate change may indeed be the most plausible explanation, this headline seems to transform from "most plausible" into a causal link.
They know what they're doing. But there aren't really old planes in the boneyard now. 1980s vintage and later plus a few muesum pieces that haven't been towed to the museum yet. The oddest thing out there is the tooling to make B1-B airframes.

That's just extremely poor management right there.
I see parallels to the Gnome desktop. Users are patronized in the same way and features are crippled, because the developers know best what users actually want! I stopped using Gnome and although I like Firefox for being the last free browser, I fear that sooner or later I'll have to switch to chrome or one of its descendants.
You can always explain your reasoning. I would encourage anyone who’s not threatened by these laws to stay and really, seriously mess with Texas.
All is true; note that “compile” is not the same as syntax analysis - because the former implies generation of code whereas the latter does not. (This is why we have two classes of language “translators”, one is compilers and the other, interpreters - although this distinction in modern practice has become somewhat blurry, because an interpreter may generate some sort of byte code which it then immediately executes.)
Sounds anti-competitive in the UK. Using dominant market power to censor.
I've at times felt sympathetic to this argument (that the whole debate on abortion boils down to an appeal to morality). However, what ended up really clarifying things for me was hearing accounts of the lengths to which women used to go to abort pregnancies before abortion was legal (and therefore safe). It's simply a fact that women often do not want to carry pregnancies to term. That will not change if we outlaw abortion. You can moralize all day long but it doesn't matter. We can either have safe abortion or we can have abortion by douching with Lysol.

Interesting idea. They may very well see that as an added benefit but I suspect the reason for the big push now is due to the conservative supermajority in the supreme court.

I don’t think so. There are a million reasons someone might not want to move that have nothing to do with politics. Maybe their house is paid off, or their kids have a couple of years left to finish school, or they’re living near a sick parent, or they love the climate, or they just like it there.

This is providing assistance for people who want to leave, but says nothing at all about people who don’t want to.
The big problem I have with Mastodon is that it has a culture of censorship equivalent to Facebook. My recollection is that to be listed in their directory of instances, you need to abide by the content rules created by key Mastodon people, and those instances in turn are required to only peer with other instances that follow the same rules. Those rules basically include moderation based on various progressive political stances, so you can’t honestly discuss controversial topics from different perspectives. It creates a federated network that is still an echo chamber rather than a platform for civil discourse and free thought. And if that’s the case I am not sure why I need Mastodon or why I would lend it attention or credence.
I’d seriously consider whether these people are a good cultural fit.
Some language teaching software does use syntax highlighting for specific lessons. Rosetta Stone at least does, where it specifically highlights things like noun/adjective agreement, verb conjugation agreement with pronouns and names (io pago, capello rosso [italics for highlighting since we can't color text here]). And then we use various types of brackets, bold, italic, dashes and commas, and other things to isolate what we write. If I want to emphasize something, on HN, I use a pair of asterisks around the text: *emphasize*.

We use all sorts of typographical conventions to draw attention to the things we want emphasis drawn to or to encode some notion. In many novels, in English at least, a character's thoughts are italicized rather than quoted. The noir detective might be found at his desk thinking, I knew I'd seen her before, but no name came to mind. In textbooks you have a mix of bold and italics used to identify specific kind of content. Bold for new keywords students of the book should keep in mind, usually adjacent to a definition. Italics might indicate a name assigned to something: Using the pumping lemma we can...

Perhaps in our code editors we've overdone highlighting, or coloring could be a poor (certainly for some colorblind readers) method of highlighting, but syntax highlighting itself can make a great deal of sense.

It's worth considering that in the examples from prose, we usually don't draw attention to syntax, but to semantics. What does the thing with different typography mean, why is it given that special formatting or why is it surrounded by special brackets, dashes, or quotes. We don't highlight (as in the example in the article) nouns one way, verbs another, adjectives a third, and adverbs a fourth. Or verbs different ways depending on the tense or number. We highlight individual words in some manner to bring attention to them, or groups of words to indicate their logical separation in some sense from their surroundings.

As a woman, I am horrified that an employer has any..ANY OPINION AT ALL about women’s reproductive decisions. We are not children. We are adults with our own uteruses.

I think this is technically viable, but I wonder if a lot of projects fail (from a performance perspective) because teams don't realize the limitations of mobile networks early enough.

So they develop everything on wifi, and it seems OK, and they make certain design choices. Then after they launch, performance is terrible when people try to use it on cell networks. By then it's too late to fix performance because they'd have to re-architect the whole thing.

The lesson they could take away from it -- the one that would be most accurate -- is, "We should have designed our mobile web client differently." But the subtlety is lost and the message everyone learns is more like, "Last time, when we did a mobile web client approach, it was a disaster. Let's never do that again. From now on, it's native apps."
Yes, but then it's probably not the best tool for whatever you need.
It's interesting how little the broadcasts of other nations changed whereas American news just replayed 9/11 footage time and time again. The CCTV played a soap opera and BBC was focused on mad cow's disease. It also appears that NHK was much more focused on a typhoon in Hokkaido.

> If a bunch of people end up moving out of the state over this then the TX GOP gets what they want.

It would be more interesting to me to find out people who would actually quit/leave vs saying they will. I'd bet in actuality it's quite a small number that would follow through and certainly not an exodus. A lot of people always say they will do X, but don't actually do it when it comes down to it because it would inconvenience them or burden them too much to actually follow through. Both quit our jobs? Do we have enough saved to do that? Sell the house? Pull the kids out of school away from the only friends they've known? Find new daycare that we trust? Move away from family, extended family and everything you know? Find a new house? Find 2 new jobs making as much as we were? Finding a new city in a new state that we like and feel like we fit in? That's a lot harder to actually do than say "I'd move."
Huh. I thought I'd heard the story in an interview with Peter Falk, or one of the producers. Oh, well.
That is a weird UK rule then. In the US the common issues are things like tying, predatory pricing, exclusive dealing, loyalty discounts, bundling etc. Allowing competitors onto your own platform is an unusual requirement in UK I think - I haven't seen a case like that in US but don't follow closely.
