First, the bill does not say you cannot teach that gay people exist. It says you can instruct students on sexual orientation. This only applies through 3rd grade (about 8 or 9 years old). As far as I know there are no health classes or sex ed prior to 10 years old. Any talk about sexual orientation or gender identity would not be relevant to the subject material.

There is no reason why a young kids needs to be instructed about such things. Any author or historical figure who is gay could still be taught.

Second, this only applies to classroom instruction. If a student stays after class they could ask their teacher about sexual orientation if they are wondering why a student has two dads or something. Some may try to extend the law to cover that, but as far as I can tell it wouldn't apply to that.

This is the mentioned startup from that "Stripe & YC are the Mobs of Silicon Valley" tweet thread:

https://twitter.com/theryanking/status/1485784884681474048

In the tweet: Ryan Breslow, CEO of Bolt, talks about how Stripe funded Fast which is a competitor of Bolt, and for the same valuation despite Fast having no traction and being relatively new.

With the fog of war there has been more embellishments coming out of Ukraine than Russia. The tank running over, Ghost of kiev, shopping mall fiasco, snake island deaths, russian death squad (turned out to be ukranian border guards) , ukraine claiming russians bombed babi yar....

Even with maternity hospital bombing, the women in photographs said that the Ukranian army had occupied the hospital and forced them out of the maternity wing.

Like the other poster said: it's fake news on fake news. Two different bubbles.
Here is the very first sentence of the Wikipedia entry [0] for .NET Framework:

"The .NET Framework (pronounced as 'dot net') is a proprietary software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows".

The official documentation for both C# [1] and .NET Framework [2] live on Microsoft.com.

I would say the above constitutes a pretty Windows-centric existence relative to some other vendor-agnostic languages, but maybe we're saying different things. What did you mean?

Neat! Way back in the day (circa 1998!) we (ITA) released a Java applet that offered Gantt chart -- we called it "colored bars" -- airfare search. This applet downloaded a compact representation (graph) of all the possible solutions into its working memory and applied all the sorting and filtering client-side in real time. So it was really fast and powerful.

Of course, Java applets as an ecosystem died so we ended up with the server-side matrix design. It's nice to see the same (client-side) concept resurrected again 20+ years later.
> it's hateful and has no place on the Internet.

Well that’s where we (you and I, but also us collectively as a country, it seems) disagree.

I don’t care that it’s hateful, and I think it should have a place on the internet, and so long as we allow monopolies on the internet, then it needs to have a place on whatever monopoly platform there is.

Anyone who thinks they should be deciding what is “hateful and has no place on the internet” is EXACTLY who should NOT be deciding such things.
I agree wholeheartedly that Americans do end up thinking in economic terms and that's not great for society, but I strongly disagree that it's something intrinsic to being American.

We live in a society heavily dominated by corporations and where many people struggle to afford a dignified, stable life. I don't think people want to be in a hustle mindset all the time, but if you're forced to live in the desert, you're going to spend a lot of time thinking about water whether you like it or not.

Well, the comment you were replying to with a "this" did mention Blade Runner.

> "[Gibson] just wrote about punks and hacking in a neo-noir dystopia because Gibson thought that was a much less boring setting for a story than conservative utopias."

You are not wrong, but I'd argue that it had a meaningful message beyond plain aesthetics when placed in the right context, i.e. when Neuromancer and cyberpunk were born. Now it's just the aesthetic, and the "message" of hi-tech lowlives and evil megacorporations is a lazy one, just rehashing mindlessly what was before. I'm not saying nothing interesting and new can be said about this, but that it has become a codified trope you can write on autopilot.

It's easy to say it was always like this, but it's false. Yes, Gibson drew from pop culture, and he used it to create something new, for whatever reasons. Now it's just rehashing for the sake of rehashing, and some of the tropes are hilariously outdated but still copied by the faithful.

I've tried open source photo editing before, and honestly, the editing experience is pretty good. I've always struggled to match Lightroom for library management however, even if Lightroom doesn't deal with my network drive properly (it always thinks it's out of sync). And so, like you, I've always ended up going back to Adobe's photography plan.

I would really love to use open source tools instead, the network drive bug is very annoying and not being able to run on Linux is pretty unfortunate. The overall process just ends up being quicker with Lightroom than Darktable or RawTherapee though :(
Honda’s Asimo Robot Says Goodbye Ahead of Decommissioning
Since it's difficult to determine whether a human produced a particular piece of content, a good alternative would be to determine whether there's any incentive for a bot to produce such content, and target that instead. Ads, analytics, affiliate links, etc.

Sure, you could still make a bot that auto-generates blogspam without the aforementioned things and rank as high as before, but what's the point if you removed the very things that get you paid?

There's plenty of things out there that are trivially spammable but outside of isolated cases (where the objective is to cause damage/annoyance rather than profit) nobody is spamming them because there's no profit to be made by doing so.

The problem (which is a deliberate design decision) is that Zig's error unions, which have special built-in support at the syntax level, are just tagged unions with an integer payload. In other words, when you return an error (either implicitly via `try` or directly with `return error.MyError`), that error payload is just an integer indicating which error was returned. So to use OP's parser example, there's not a built-in way to attach some sort of diagnostic info to the error itself, the way you would with, for example, python exceptions. Using the built-in syntax, you can't do the equivalent of `raise ParserException(token, line_number)` and then unpack that error later in your code to display a nice error message.

The workaround would be to store that info in some sort of global struct (which has all the usual drawbacks of global variables); add a context/diagnostics parameter to your function, or manually manage your own error union in userspace, which means you lose the nice `try` syntax.
A remote system by definition has access to the information you give them and you should manage that carefully. Meanwhile your filesystem has access to your entire life, heart, and mind unvarnished, edited, and unsegregated with ephemera alongside the deep facts of your mind.

Microsoft is a criminal enterprise that relatively recently got god to a degree and actually started caring about their image at home while still facilitating crime and corruption abroad. The fact that many are stupid enough to trust them with their data does not imply that this is a reasonable choice.

> The next Google can’t just be an input box that spits out links.

Hard disagree. I spent years of my life working on a "new way to search" (Graph Search at Facebook, ~2012) and the biggest takeaways for me from all of that time is:

1) people don't want to learn a new way to search, and they don't want to learn new tools, filters, lenses, whatever you want to call it. it must be a keyword-search based input because Google has trained billions to search (and to think) this way for 20+ years now. imo the next google shouldn't fight this behavior, but rather adopt it as part of the core strategy

2) ownership of the "search intent entrypoint" is key. people generally don't care what they are using to search, as long as it's easy and fast to use and actually works. google understands this and makes it almost impossible to bypass searching with google if you're on an Android phone. All of these alternative search engines have a huge barrier to entry not only on the technology and data side, but mainly on the entrypoint side. They can't reasonably expect hundreds of millions of the people to go through and manually update their default search engine on all of their devices. What about when I go to use Google Assistant? Google maps? All entrypoints that Google has used to lock up search intent. It's brilliant. I believe there are moves still available for a future Google assailant to overcome these barriers, but I haven't seen many that have directly touched on this point yet. new technical shifts may open up new entrypoints here (VR/AR?)

3) the search engine that has the lowest time between [query] -> [answer] for a user wins. any search engine that adds additional cruft through forcing more clicks, usage of advanced tooling (filters, lenses, etc), visualizations, etc will lose out because they are getting farther and farther from the core problem a user has - "find me x". this is the thing that is driving the hero/knowledge units on Google, further cementing their leadership

4) the one brightspot - verticalized search intent is a huge area of untapped potential in the search arena. Google is great at general search (and honestly also at a huge number of verticals that it's developed over time), but there are many verticals that google honestly sucks at. I do believe there is a potential entrypoint here for a "new google" if they can take on a vertical-by-vertical expansion strategy. Owning the intent entrypoint would still be as important as ever, but this play would look a lot like the early Yelp vertical expansion strategy from the early 2000s. It's anybody's guess what the actual right starting vertical and entrypoint match is though

tl;dr Google won't go down easy, and a Google killer may actually look incredibly similar to Google in it's end-state

"Making the world a better place" is a trope that Silicon Valley was making fun of. Every startup thinks they're making the world a better place and the phrase has lost its meaning.

https://danielfschmidt.medium.com/is-your-startup-trying-to-...

Unless your goal is to eliminate poverty, homelessness, disease, hunger, human trafficking, climate change, or assist with any other humanitarian effort, then claims of "making the world a better place" are eye roll worthy.

I would groan if someone said Atlassian was making the world a better place by creating Jira so managers and engineers can track work more effectively.

When someone says that _Twitter_ does heavy handed exercising of censorship or algorithmic manipulation just shows me that most people don't actually use Twitter and instead consume it view headlines. That wouldn't be surprising considering is the 15th largest social network by MAU globally. The Twitter product today is still largely the same as it was 10 years ago; Meta & friends do far more to stifle "free speech" but are never given the same sort of criticism because they do the "right" kind of amplification and moderating. Twitter is probably the least moderated of all the big social networks but it gets the most criticism for having too much moderation. What people actually want from Twitter is freedom from criticism from the mob, i.e "free speech for me, but not for thee".

>But, anyone who starts a new platform (let's assume similar to r/conservative which is absolutely not neo-nazi or fascist), gets intense pushback from the existing incumbents not with market forces,

Not with market forces? You mean to say that censorship is what is actually holding Gab back from mainstream adoption? This sentiment has always been incredibly myopic. I don't know why American conservatives are always surprised when their flavor of politics aren't popular. For some reason Europe and the rest of the West, who are farther left than Americans, cease to exist and the reasons why sites like Gab aren't huge is because of censorship.
I think I'm living to live, not for any special purpose, but I want to do various things, so create not one but various purposes, one is enjoy my life, of course, but it's not the only. One is live something behind me, something future generations might benefit from, because all living being want to live better and that's not an easy thing, a generation after another progress potentially can improve life etc.

However I'm not really "totally free", I live in a society, I depend on many others (for instance for food, industrial products, services, ...) so my freedom is limited by others freedoms, my will is limited by others will and to live all well matching individual agenda is not easy but we need to find a balance.

That's is. Unfortunately our life cycle is far shorter than social cycle so if we born in a bad era we have to go through it, but that's do not means avoid living a life just because there is something to do, the key is finding a good balance and probably it demand the entire life keeping adjusting the aim.

You really should take people's advice in beta. Get rid of telemetry before tomorrow. If you don't this terminal will likely fail. It might be too late already.
((Record scratch sound))

Looks really neat. But there's a dissonance between the positioning here vs. the audience it is intended for. The community of folks interested in using a terminal is largely one of grizzled veterans that significantly overlap with security (conscious) folks.

Overlap with Instagram influencers living their best life in public is approximately nil. :)

I suppose there are newbie developers that don't know better, but are already using vscode and use the built-in term if they even bother. I could see cloud features and telemetry being useful however as an opt-in separate install.

So, I'd dial back the idea that "modern" means giving in to the surveillance dystopia.

Bonus points if you get it running under OS/2.

It's only relevant because the high level of encapsulation that made deps easy to manage also represented a barrier. Using diff and awk was fast enough, the reimplementation in java wasn't (happened just a few times). Language ecosystems with a more permeable encapsulation style make it easier to reference tools outside of that ecosystem at the cost of making it harder to get your deps straight.
