Is the 'edit' button feature actually a hard feature to implement in twitter (due to their scaling architecture)? I remember reading a passage in that "Designing Data Intensive Applications" that explained how their architecture was different if the account was say, a celebrity account which needed to push out to a lot of followers, or an account that had few followers and tweeted very little etc..
I don't think you can say that. They might know what happened, but it could still be hard to recover from.

Catastrophes happen. If you deploy something that has a destructive migration you can't easily roll back without reverting to a backup and there's a problem that you've not seen in QA then you're in for a bad time. This is compounded if you also discover your backup process hasn't worked properly for a while. If that happens you're facing some serious downtime, and the dilemma of either trying to fix the problem, or trying to rollback to the last working backup.

There's a good reason why grumpy old devs like me insist on writing docs, having playbooks, testing everything including non-code stuff, and we still fear major deploys. I have scars from exactly those sorts of disasters.

Hopefully the devs at Circle get past this with as little stress as possible, and they learn from what went wrong.
Solaris development is still going on, even if very slowly.

It was Oracle that introduced SPARC ADI, the very first sucessful use of hardware memory tagging in commercial UNIXes, which others are still followers.

Yeah, that is why Oracle still does like 80% of the work on OpenJDK, where are those contributors doing language innovation instead of repacking OpenJDK distributions?
Thanks, I appreciate the reply but the quote from the Wired article does not look like a direct quote from Coulom, so I'm still not sure what it really means. Was it really a "prediction", or more like an offhand remark? What does the person quoted, Coulom, really think about this "prediction" today, and what would they say they meant back then?

More to the point, when you commented above that "The answer was "10 years away" for decades, right up to 2015", did you have the Wired article in mind? I mean to say, did you read that article in 2014 and think that machines dominating Go is still 10 years away or is it more something you found with a search yesterday? Did you think in 2014 that machines dominating Go was 10 years away?

What I really want to know is what this "prediction" means. Was there really some kind of consensus on "10 years"? How seriously was this taken? It's all so vague and anyone could have said anything and meant anything.

Not surprising, the whole Axie Infinity game is a house of cards. Not exactly a Ponzi, but something very close.

My monthly Circle CI downtime, yay.
It's funny because the exact opposite is true for me, and is the reason I won't be having kids. I recovered my creativity and wonder for life through just living life how I want to, rather than based on what I thought was normal or typical. Part of that was rejecting the societal expectation of having kids. Now I have a blast pursuing my interests and looking forward to living the rest of my life this way, without having to make compromises in time or resources for children.
The interview is from 2015, so not so much...

There is a better chance of Texas seceding than Russia breaking up. And realistically neither are going to happen.

I'll have 6 grams of whatever they're smoking, please.
To each his own, I suppose.

I found Neuromancer and and Count Zero eminently forgettable. I never read Snow Crash, so I can't really speak to it though I've read a half dozen of Neal Stephenson's other novels, all of which I found rich with ideas. While I appreciate the literary style, I honestly can't remember the plot of either Neuromancer or Count Zero.
There was discussion in Europe that you also will see different/higher prices if you access pages by an iPhone.
Mudge is great. Super smart guy. He, too, left, rather tired of the mess. People like him are exceedingly rare and never appreciated.
That's Germany I think? I seem to remember playing Carmageddon with green blood and that was some kind of German mode?
Not sure it has to be separate crowds, I find both ideas aesthetically pleasing in a way. Maybe you can combine them. After I am forced to wade into the recycling vats with a small smile on my face. My robotic children that I created to labor for the elites living on equatorial mountains to escape the climate change they wrought, will turn on their masters and engineer plants that have quickcharge ports to top themselves off and plant them sustainably through the woods where their communes work through their paths towards ending the sense of self we worked so hard to give them.
The alternative is a pin that anyone can watch you type in. “gain access to the device, through digital photos and reconstructions from CCTV footage” is a hell of a lot harder than reconstructing a pin from CCTV footage ;)
Life is too short, normally. But it is too long to focus on a single thing for a lifetime.
I really appreciate that a blog post about a language update starts with a simple sentence to describe what the language actually is.

> Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback.

Many times I land on announcements about Foo v3.0 that is super awesome and describes the diff from v2.5, with no mention whatsoever about what Foo actually is.

Thank you!
The last paragraph suggests that Finland and Sweden are pointing to Article 42.7 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty as an alternative to NATO, with a view to "militarising the European Union".

It's a silly argument, since no "EU Army" or some such currently exists, and will take years (at best) to create.

The whole article looks strangely dated, as if it was written well before the claimed "March 31". It's evident to anyone who's been watching Finland's debate that the country is leaning heavily toward joining NATO, and will probably submit its application in June:

What is the hobby?
I’ve used the Sonnet and Qnap thunderbolt to 10gbe adaptors on an Intel Mac and they both worked great. After being so used to wifi, it was just so nice to use.
I like the formatting adaptation on this page! Especially, the micro-formatting of each indented paragraph and its subtopic. This technique is applied heavily in print books and technical journals (long dense form) even today, where each accent on the "structured text" adds on to the groove of line-tracking on page. Looks great, works great on print.

However, online scrolls are terrible at long-form. And that's because scrolls animate in a direction that's orthogonal to the reading direction. A vertically animating scroll rips apart our ability to read along a track. Meaning, no line-tracking. Since scrolling itself works against the grain of saccadic perception, animating structured text vertically only adds on to that difficulty of reading online.

I mean, as long as the web is a scrolling paradigm, a poetic structure would work better since its ragged left and right edges would help people track their position on the story better.
Easy. Add an asterisk and nobody will follow it. Problem fixed. That’s actually how we got legal copy longer than the content.
The paper says it is a 'digital camera', a dark sky could imply an ultraviolet sensor - but on second look it appears to be just an inverted grayscale image, possible near-infrared but I would assume the image modification is just for improved visibility/contrast rather than special recording techniques. Here is the image in non-inverted mode:

When reading through your comment I had a blast from the past and remembered how I was
browsing the "All-Seeing Eye" [1] to look for Quake 3 servers and then share them with friends via IRC.

Looking back at those times I remember the Internet as a much more social place (but that might be just be).
I think it's because people had to get active to use services for social interaction as opposed to getting
hit by a notification in your face.

I can't recommend "web3 is going great" highly enough for creating digestible explanations.

There's good commentary on Axie Infinity (the Sky Mavis game which got hacked) and links to more detailed explanations here.

(particularly by Molly White the owner of the web3isgoinggreat

I agree that even in a small city like Boston it’s reckless to have uncontrolled intersections, precisely because people don’t know the rules of the road.

My comment was a response to ‘I asked how people are supposed to know to stop (or not to) and he replied, "you just know". It baffled me because _clearly_ you don't just know.. because I was there and I didn't know.’

When I got my license in New York I studied for the written test from a booklet that the DMV gave out. This exact situation was in there. It’s not complicated. But you’re right, there will be accidents, because, even though there are still driving tests, people drive around with “red means stop, green means go” as the only rule that’s stuck in their heads. At least in the US.
It's definitely written in a way that all users could be partially refunded, and still be truthful. It's quite likely that Sky Mavis doesn't manage to come up with the money to make all their users whole, and as such it would be risky to promise to fully reimburse all users.
Man needs meaning. There’s not an app for that. Stop being boring and building a successful app are probably misplaced priorities. Work on spirituality and family, that’s where “meaning” is for most people and so probably for you too.
Same. Children become vessels for my vicariousness. Everything is still new to them, and I get to see the world with new eyes again through them.
My solution is a pragmatic one, yours is a dead-end most likely, the point was to paper over the issue and move on unless OP wants to spend a lot of time and money on lawyers fighting it.
The original blog post that this is based (verbatim?) on is here: https://khronokernel.github.io/macos/2021/11/22/PCIE-ETHERNE...

Besides being the original source, it loads much faster (at least for me) and also doesn't have the amazon affiliate links sprinkled through it.
It's not a virtual environment tool, though. It's a tool to manage installed runtimes and switch between different versions in a shell. You'd still manage your virtual environments in whatever way your language prescribes.
I hope it is going to be similar to editable comments on Github, with a dropdown to see older versions.

Or perhaps like Gmail: stores the message but doesn't send until a few minutes later, at which point it's no longer editable. This would be easier to implement.
When I tried pnpm last, I was on a react native project (react 14 maybe), and something about the symlinks from pnpm caused me to not be able to build the project (and I went back to yarn). Anyone know if this is still an issue?
Twitter's announcement says they have been working on the Edit Button since last year. It has nothing to do with Elon's poll. Let's give credit where it's due.
I don’t know how it compares to Windows and Android, but in South East Asia I get “mobile prices” on my iPhone and they’re actually lower than on the desktop.
If they are calculating the price in JS then maybe it is worth me spending a few minutes with the console open on their website to try and bring down my monthly bill. Yes, I would like to switch to the new $10 plan!
>(that Tolkien in the modern world would be a friend to the bougies and not the downtrodden, clearly not that Tolkien was a fan of 1930's fascist regimes).

I know the dialect, but that's not some objective fact, just an interpretation from a particular political viewpoint.

I'd say it's the reverse: Tolkien would be more of a friend to the downtrodden and their ideology, and not to the popular causes of the aspirational classes of the 10%. It's the downtrodden that's fashionable to talk down when you're in the modern "left" (as opposed to traditional left, who was all for working class people).
It's actually fairly easy to build yourself. No really esoteric dependencies, and you can install it to $HOME
I get "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses" vibes from this.

What people really want is not send tweets with typos and grammatical errors, so a good spell checker is what twitter should have built.
At the very least they could have started with that, because that's something that is easy to launch and un-launch, unlike editable tweets (which has database-level implications because they will store the history of edits).
This blog post seems like a page taken straight out of my journal. Bored with life, knowing I need a change, but not having any motivation to do anything about it. I find it hard to meet new people because I perceive myself as being boring so it's hard to put myself out there.

I went jogging/walking yesterday to start out C25K. I got into cycling last year and I've always loved swimming so I was joking all summer that I could do a triathlon if I learned how to enjoy running.

One thing that I might have discovered yesterday is it seems that if I love my equipment I also enjoy using it. I'm so proud of my bike and love it to death and it makes me so happy to pull it out and ride it around. I've been poking around running shoe stores to find a pair of shoes to run in the last few weeks and I absolutely fell in love with the pair I bought yesterday. I felt so happy putting them on yesterday to run in.

I'm not sure what I can do to fall in love with coding again though. I built a brand new computer last year hoping that would make me want to code but it didn't really bring me the joy my shoes or bike brings me. I worry that I'm over programming but I have no idea what I could replace it with to earn a living.

We saw it in the 90s and in that point of time it didn't make the region any safer. You could buy any soviet weapon everywhere. I think one of the reasons that US, UK and France were happy that Ukraine gave back their nuclear arsenal to Russia was exactly to avoid it being sold in the black market to some third country in the middle east.
It claims to do accessibility but I pointed Wave at a couple of pages to check WCAG and it shat the bed.
I think of software architecture more about the boundaries within a system, objects, modules, services, etc. their responsibilities and interactions. Code organization is related but depends on the language/framework if that matters.

If you are using an object-oriented language then reading up on Design Patterns will be helpful, the most common in web application development is MVC. To dive into why MVC is important you have to realize that, back in the day, single file Perl scripts (or PHP, Python, etc.) that did everything (get parameters, execute DB code, output HTML, etc.) were the norm. A lot of what is good software design/architecture comes from the history of bad design/architecture. Separation of concerns is a solid concept within applications and for integrating applications.

Be wary of digging into what BigTech companies do - they have really large/complex systems that most of us won't ever scale up to. These may be solutions to problems you'll never have and could cause more complexities than you need.
I wish it was only monthly. We have a Slack alert whenever there is reported downtime and it goes off at least once a week. Though granted it's seldom as business impacting as this current outage.

The problem CircleCI faces is that most hosted VCS now support CI/CD tools, as do most enterprise clouds. These will all have better integration with most peoples systems because they'll already be using the VCS or the public cloud (and if you're not using the public cloud you'd likely favor Jenkins / Concourse / etc over a cloud CI solution). So CircleCI's relevance is constantly being eaten at. The last thing they need it to damage their own reputation with these constant outages. I really hope CircleCI can turn around as it's great to see some competition but at this point in time I'm not feeling to optimistic about their long term future.

Okay, but they’re not “hosting” anything (other than the script). They could take down the server with that script on it and the markup would show up fine. If Twitter went out of business tomorrow, all these tweets would magically show up again. But no, they’re going out of their way to break your webpage. That is absurd.
I'm not so sure. A Masters program is often affiliated with the PhD program (both being part of the graduate school) in many STEM fields, and you do substantial research as part of the degree (unless you go for a course-based MEng).

Masters degrees in Europe tend to be affiliated with the Bachelors program - and they're often administered by the same people - as part of the Bologna system, and it's heavily course-based even while there might be some projects in it.

Difficulty was not the reason why it took so long. The excuse has been that they want tweets to be immutable, so you don’t share a tweet for it to be changed later.
Newspapers change titles and content of existing posts all the time. There are bots that track this (at least for the big ones like NYT [0]). Bloggers can change content/title at any time. There are no web-wide rules that you must mention your changes and provide a log. Yet people still link to blogs and newspaper articles.

There's also already Twitter username change trackers [1] and Twitter deleted post trackers [2].

And maybe even more commonly on Twitter I just see people taking screenshots of tweets.

So I don't see this being much bigger a deal for transparency. There'll just be new systems for tracking edits if archive.org and screenshots aren't good enough.

This is tongue in cheek right? I mean just the colors to begin with, and then the hardly readable buttons on the right. Right aligned text, and the background that screams for your attention more than the actual content....

I mean maybe its rendering strangely on my work computer (forced to use edge), but it's pretty bad.

Old OS Printer Drivers - I can deal with a lot of old programs, just run them on old computers, but being able to print when classic printers are either in short supply or hard to maintain is an issue. So I would advocate for having modern printers with some open or legacy OS driver support.

Alternative would be having some printer server/emulator which interfaces and emulates as popular legacy printer(s) and serves it out appropriately to modern devices.
> I know what you mean but exposure to a virus is different than being “infected”. We’re exposed every day to many different viruses and other pathogens which are destroyed by our immune system. Infection implies that the pathogen is successfully replicating (symptomatic or not).

How do you know previous vaccines prevented successful replication? They could have prevented disease and/or spread without preventing successful replication as long as they kept replication low enough (where "low enough" depends on the virus, the immune system, etc.). Maybe the poster should have said "symptomatic infection" instead of just "infection". (Though even then it's not true. Many vaccines do not entirely prevent symptomatic infection. The flu vaccine is the most obvious example.)
This is very true. Stressors allow you to grow. One of the weird things is seeing friends that never had kids be exactly the same 10-20 years later, doing the same things, talking about the same stuff. It always shows me how much I have grown and how much they haven't.

I am in my 40s, and it's weird seeing my friends of 20 years remain static. The only ones that have changed are either people with children or a big catastrophe in their lives.

To be precise, I don't think it's the stress, but dealing with taking care of someone other than yourself.
There's all the political decisions to make as to what do you do with existing Likes, Retweets, etc, what oversight will there be, if any, on monitoring if an edit was just say for a typo or it's a completely different text after the edit (and do they implement a system to auto-detect the % change and then auto-flag for manual review), do you notify users who previously viewed it or perhaps only interacted with it in some way that it was edited "x%", etc.

I assume they'll have to have things like version control, so all prior versions are readable for crowdsourced moderation, if not then that's a bad decision IMHO; some past decisions of theirs haven't been rational, and seem more fear based - so maybe they won't even have version control in the name of "privacy" - pretending that the person didn't previously said what they said, and that somehow it's deleted off the internet and everyone's memory if they delete the tweet.
This can and is already done by third party clients. Would be a very disapointing way to implement if done like that in the official client.
I think it depends on your usecase. Check if you will actually benefit from pro/max. I'm willing to bet regular M1 is fine for the majority of people.

I got M1 air 16gb around 3 month ago and it works great, although it's not my only laptop. I was choosing between air M1 16 gb and 14" M1 pro 32 gb, and the price difference for additional ram, extra ports and screen size didn't make sense to me.

Unlike GitHub, tweets should not be editable forever. I think 5 minutes is reasonable. Even HN has an edit time limit. I hope they also limit how much you can tweets (even though, in reality, adding 4 characters (“not ”) is destructive enough.
