> Twitter to publish content

Well, you said it. If Twitter publishes content, then it should be responsible for that content. But Twitter does not want to do that, they want to have protections like they are a public square, but also heavily alter the discourse. It's like the phone company can disconnect you if you swear on the line - it should not be possible. I would be supportive with Twitter and Facebook taking on a full editorial role, and be responsible for everything on their platforms.

And let's be honest about it. It was never about Twitter making money, for example Trump was making money for Twitter hand over fist. And NYPost publishing about a potential viral news story was not going to make Twitter less money...

It was about shifting the political discourse, which is what it's making this an undemocratic bad move. And I was wrong, it's not really a banana republic move, it's more of a communist regime style move. It was the same back then: if you said the wrong things, the censorship will come in full swing and "cancel" you. It didn't have to be the state censorship, oh no, you were censored way before that: by your boss, by the company, by the public opinion etc. Communist Romania in the 1980s and what I see here today are eerily similar: you wouldn't go to jail for your opinions, but you would be "cancelled" from any good career and public voice.

To be fair Java is an outlier here (there are few others I guess, C# comes to mind) and I would consider it a weakness of a language to require a complex IDE to do anything nontrivial comfortably.

I agree with you tho, I was looking for my options to develop in Java with Emacs and decided to not even try.
But life is append only.
Well, we can also count the UK now :)
Alternatively, you can grab an Akitio Node series external enclosure and plug in any supported PCI Express (ethernet) card. They provide 60-ish watts PD back to your MacBook.

Personally, I run a BlackMagic Decklink Quad HDMI card in one, without any issues regarding hotplug.

Cool, any thoughts on what's new in Emacs 28.1?
It's literally an "oooh shiny" tactic
That's pretty cool! I find it a step harder than Wordle, because you cannot guess your way into the puzzle.

I gave up, will try tomorrow again.
Possibly. However, Apple does continue to sell the 12 and 12 Mini. However, the 12 Mini is substantially more expensive... because reasons.

TBH the Apple lineup has never been more confusing.
I understand how type annotations are useful for users and also for static analysis tools (called Dialyzer in Elixir/Erlang), which is exactly why I didn't see why code completion would be one's primary reason for wanting them. However, in Python's case with heavy use of OOP and dot notation, I suppose I could see it being beneficial if the tools pickup up type annotations for code completion (still not the primary reason though) as opposed to something like Elixir. In Elixir, types and modules are tightly coupled, which means user's being implicitly being aware of types and also code completion generally working without type annotations (which can be inferred by Dialyzer anyway).

So your comment actually backs mine up. I don't know why code completion would be the tipping point for type annotations when their usefulness to users and static analysis tools are already enough. Documentation for users is in fact enough to have them.
I admit that I stopped reading further when I saw that line.

Still in the summary:

These two apparently disparate topics converge in a unique case: the intimate involvement of transplant surgeons in China in the execution of prisoners via the procurement of organs. We use computational text analysis to conduct a forensic review of 2838 papers drawn from a dataset of 124 770 Chinese-language transplant publications.

We find evidence in 71 of these reports, spread nationwide, that brain death could not have properly been declared. In these cases, the removal of the heart during organ procurement must have been the proximate cause of the donor's death. Because these organ donors could only have been prisoners, our findings strongly suggest that physicians in the People's Republic of China have participated in executions by organ removal.

--

It is 71 reports out of 2838 reports. And the reports themselves could have reliability issues.

And the judgement of brain death has always been controversial. 71 out of 2838 is just 2.5% that is subject to question.
I've seen the same problems when this technique is attempted.

Something else to consider is that weights scaling linearly may not make sense.

More importantly, criteria may overlap. In the example in the article, I suspect technical ease and scaling ease are highly correlated, which effectively means you're double counting.

Basically the technique only works when you have fully independent criteria which cover the full spectrum of what matters and which can be weighted objectively using a scale that represents true relative importance.
IMO tragically naive to blur and equate legal framework definitions with market participation with fundemental life on earth. Whose legal framework and in what spoken language are the rules of personhood written? There is one and only one Oracle for personhood, in the possesion of some money-driven teams? There are more holes than Swiss Cheese once the assumptions are really examined. "Performance art intended to attract investment money" is more accurate and to the point here, than exposition on human personhood. run away...
I doubt any of those "sources" are real people.

>The people who cry 'fake news' typically do not know how journalism process work. To be fair, I don't think most people do and that in itself is an issue.

You can appeal to authority all you want. It doesn't change the fact that NOTHING stops them from fabricating 'sources'

So called journalists are routinely caught fabricating stories and narratives that help further their careers or agendas.

Journalism is dead. Nowadays, the people who go into "journalism", with few exceptions, are dead inside and are only interested in forwarding agendas that align with their world view.
Honda did the same thing for 2015 & 2016 models. People posted firmware online you can flash with a USB drive
I have the totally opposite experience. Everyone I know who has kids is bored: they've given up on their side projects and resigned themselves to jobs they constantly complain about but can't leave because they need to support their family.

So I'm not sure having kids really matters here. I think the mindset change is more important. It's easy to forget that the world has so many interesting things to pick up and do literally anything with, much like your child. My friends who have kids don't think that way.
I really don't understand how you pull that from my comment. They are trying to avert a hostile takeover. Elon may not even be interested in making twitter more profitable. It may just be a pet project for him to take over the company and shutter it out of spite or use it to further some other goals. They gave him a board seat to try to get him to back off.

I was talking about compiling.

I use macports, and refuse to use brew (for a variety of philosophical reasons) so that option wasn't available to me. I often use the binary from https://emacsformacos.com/ but afaik it hadn't supported native compilation as yet. So I found some prebuilt binaries on github.
> the sidebar should be a nav rather than a div to convey it's where major and meaningful navigation is found

I think you are mixing two issues here, what's good for the end user and what's good for the developer and maintenance of the site. Both matter of course greatly but I think this article was about optimizing the user-experience.

From the users' point of view does it matter if a section is a 'nav' or a 'div' which has CSS-class 'nav' assigned to it?
Reading books isn't a problem because the serif fonts are tiny black printed letters on paper. Serif helps the small letters stand out. A computer screen doesn't share the same type size issues. When combined with high contrast, I favor the sans and am surprised anyone would prefer serif if given choice.

A monitor with less than 200 ppi isn't blurry!

If interested, here's the exact moment recently I thought "oh how I dislike serif fonts".... I think I bailed half way through...

This has been edited maybe, history doubtful.

They've done the user centric research & every user says they want to be able to change what they say online & escape their bad mistakes. The team has resounding data pushing them this direction. And it will be immensely immensely detrimental to the platform/service/medium.

As a company hires more and more people, modern development and devops can create as much unnecessary complexity as needed.
Every service will have down time. It is about the locus of control and agency. When I self host I can decide when to apply updates and do maintenance. When something does go wrong I can dive in, fix the problem, and move on with my day.

Most people don't want any responsibility though so they do everything they can to push work off to a SaaS or cloud provider. That way when the SHTF they can browse reddit and point their boss to the status page.

So now your complaint is that the summary is transparent about the numbers? That the paper exists at all? ...?

Netherlands is good as it’s not too expensive (we dropped the 9k ltd thing you also have for gbmh quite a while ago) but the rules and taxes and lack of investors is quite hard; similar things to Germany. You would be bound to those anyway though if your employees are not freelancers and are in those countries…

It's not the most fluid UX ( but then again it's not something you need every day so it makes sense to have it a few levels deep), but in Android, since many versions ago, you can go to Settings - Apps - app - Allow/Disallow auto-launch, background running, etc. From the same place you can also revoke permissions, and some Android skins have views with all apps that have access to X and Y.
> Newspapers change titles and content of existing posts all the time.

In fact, launching with a headline that matches the URL, and waiting until the page gets scraped/indexed, in order to then start a series of A/B tests for narrative, ranking, clickability, etc is the de-facto process for news orgs.

They will also stand to benefit from this change more than your average shit-poster.

I miss Emacs, but I moved to Visual Studio Code. I used Emacs for over 8 years so releases like this use to make me so happy.

On the bright side, I still use Emacs bindings in Visual Studio Code. Maybe I should spin up Emacs again and give it another shot on my new M1 (maybe it can do the auto complete stuff faster now.)
Oh, they have R&D there. Hadn't thought about that possibility.

Again, you're missing the point. The problem isn't with the OP, it's that everybody else didn't bother to reproduce it, and is uncritically believing it despite the lack of replication.
Cycling and motorcycling also feel like that, if you'd rather see more landscapes faster.

I consider saddle time "taking my brain to the park" so it runs around for a bit and tires itself out.
Ultimately employees want to be seduced, they want to believe they are doing more than helping a company's owners' capital accrue + gain value in how it's implemented. They don't want to just punch the clock, they want to be part of a larger mission (and get rich doing it). A lot of this is because the traditional ways people have found value in their time on earth: religion, family, and friends are disappearing and being replaced with careerism.

This guy's story is not a rare one, and it points to a larger spiritual crisis in modern life I think.
Thank you to everyone that contributed to Emacs for another great release :) (also thank you Mickey for explaining all the changes!)
And maybe even more commonly on Twitter I just see people taking screenshots of tweets.

Screenshots of tweets seems like the worst way to "archive" them, since the screenshot can be trivially faked.
This resembles a brain which learns and organizes via association recognizing that it does so, and expressing this recognition via its own dominant association for “associations”. Comments show variations of other brains which do the same thing and recognize it expressing so via their own dominant associations for it. And so on. The challenge is as always how to manage the unmanageable, how to navigate the unnavigable, because there are too many links in total without some means of focusing/searching, or too few links due to excessive filtering, etc, etc, etc. Trying to find the right metaphor for this has wasted enormous amounts of resources, IMO, because that isn’t “the real problem”, but that’s exactly what every one of us is doing right now, so why not.
Ask HN: Do you watch streams (on Twitch, etc.)?
Hi folks,

I have recently been on a few Twitch streams as a guest and it seems like a totally different way to learn things. I was curious if you watched streams (on Twitch, youtube or elsewhere) and if so, what kind of technical topics you were interested in.

Also, any tips for great streams and/or methods to learn better while watching (follow along, review later, etc)?

(I know lots of folks watch gaming on Twitch, but I'm more interested in it as a new way to learn about software development.)
I like to point out that I'm in favor of standardization of directories. Also understand the legacy argument since a lot of software, by default uses it's file location.

Directories like var, opt, usr need some rethinking. Hence the UsrMerge I presume?

This is what the current filesystem looks like:

What goes where. I have been a sysop for a long time. Came from a time that computers where simple by comparison to now. Limited in functionality, but just worked. Seen many changes. I the past there were less directories. Though time we added a couple. E.g. opt, srv, media. Or the dev, proc and sys. What happens when something new popup? Create a new directory? Possible. Maybe now is the time to consolidate and rethink certain directories? Better names? E.g. system instead of usr. Location where put libraries, maybe consolidate into one? Location for data (stores)? Etc.

Off cause current hierarchy isn't complicated. But it's not intuitive and can be confusing. Even the windows directories are better readable? I think naming must be more intuitive. Especially with regards to new or inexperienced user. Just an idea. Make unix accessible to everyone is a good goal.

Starts with readability in my opinion.

Oh, didn't mention software development. Which is an entire different ballgame with respect to device files, magic files etc. Ugly to boot. The mantra everything is a file is also not true.

It's just my opinion.
Wondering how this will affect development of e.g. OpenCV - seems lots of contributors are from Russia and/or Intel employees. Moving the whole team abroad probably is hard make and even understandably not everyone wanna leave past life behind and setup new roots somewhere else. Also not sure about Open3d or Realsense where are they mostly developed.
In Germany, post-war there were three chancellors (prime ministers) that were over 10 years in office - Adenauer with 14 years, Kohl and Merkel with 16 years.
As long as your input device is optimized for inserting text (and your keyboard certainly is) modal editing is surely something desirable for programming.
Just like you want to believe the magical, untraceable, and unverifiable mystery sources?
(1) I do have children, (2) your statements assume, without possibility of falsification, that such mental illness is not at all due to environmental factors. This unfalsifiable nature makes these statements religious in nature, so I'm not going to bother questioning or arguing with them.
Not only that but jumping to the source code for whatever command you are looking at is just a key press away. Edit the source, hit another key or two and you've just live patched your editor.
Yes, your local audiologist probably have them. These are mostly targeted at professional musicians. Mine were about 150€, mold included.

They usually have options regarding the level of attenuation you need, the ones with the highest attenuation tend to have the highest level of distorsion, but in all cases, it is way better than standard earplugs.

I also tried standard sized filtered earplugs (about $20) but without much success. Maybe my ear canals are weird but I couldn't get them to fit properly, so the sound mostly went around the filter, not through it, making them essentially useless in addition to being uncomfortable and not holding well. So if you are like me, save your $20 and get custom molded ones.
Both /bin and /sbin are generally statically linked. So you're not wrong; but primarily sbin is intended to mean "executed by root" above all else.
Oh right I thought for some reason people often paid like $70 for phone contracts in the US.
I second this and was coming here to post exactly this. I have no doubt that without a latex template that was iteratively updated by students over the years that my thesis would have taken considerably longer to write.
Then you need to hire humans and it costs money. An edit history is much cheaper.
You can invite people without kids to family oriented activities too. Maybe they would enjoy just hanging out with people.
This. Kicking the can down the road for the next generation to deal with is politics 1-0-1.
It's a feedback loop, though.

If you spend a day inside or doing sedentary activities then you're more likely to reach for crap food. If you're in touch with your body, even if you're doing something like a weightlifters' dirty bulk you're probably at least targeting the correct macronutrients.

I totally agree, seems most FPS today do not come close to the story and gunplay of HL2.
>> This is most likely a bug rather than malicious intent or predatory pricing.

Hahahaha. It takes more code to add $10 to a price. It takes a cookie or something to remember how much they quoted you last time. This explicitly programmed behavior can NOT be a bug, it's a feature that someone took time to implement. The "feature" might be buggy in the sense that's its too obvious and perhaps was only supposed to increase the price once or something, but the overall implementation is almost certainly not a bug.
Both systems install packages to /usr/local

That's because "packages" in the BSD world (at least openbsd) are considered third-party options, the base system is considered static. Linux distributions don't really have the notion of a static base system with "package" addons, the distribution packages are the system.
Loaded up the Ubisoft app recently. Pure trash, apps / syncing wouldn’t work till I accepted all cookies, things wouldn’t download in the background while playing single player, etc.
I get down voted every time I say that. Single core performance will always be the best indicator of how fast the phone is IRL. Any application that is basically a wrapper around a javascript heavy web app is going to run like ass on a phone that has a low single core performance even if the phone has great multicore performance.
From the performance PoV, PCIe/Thunderbolt dock is clearly better than USB-C, but there are also other factors:

1) Thunderbolt dock requires Thunderbolt port, while USB-C dock works with just much more common USB-C + DP alternate mode port.

2) USB-C docks just work, while Thunderbolt docks often require magic steps to enable them (like changing options in BIOS).

3) USB-C is relatively secure, while PCIe is just a gaping security hole unless IOMMU is used and configured. I am not sure how common that is.
You don't get many 'cable cutters' in the UK because it's just £120 total a year, and like many people I pay it even though I almost never watch TV, but you can see why do you in the US.
I’ve never understood the constant calls for this. It feels like a meme more than a feature people really need. Is it that hard to proofread 140 characters? What other common use cases are there that don’t impact the conversation in replies?
I had a similar problem with emotions: specifically, limited emotional vocabulary and the inability to distinguish what I’m feeling. To help myself, I partnered with an emotion coach and created an app to expand my emotional vocabulary and come into contact with what I’m feeling. https://apps.apple.com/app/emote/id1609038427
Yeah the caps lock switch is critical I think, since then you can press that key without curling or twisting the finger. Look at technique for musical instruments that require applying pressure with that finger, eg cello, they go through a lot of trouble sometimes to avoid that particular contortion bc of its lack of control and the long-term stress it puts on the hand.

If that doesn't work I know people who have used a usb foot pedal and it seems to work well for them.

Or, if vi bindings work for you, just use vi bindings. There's no nobility in the emacs bindings. I like them but if something else works better just use it.
