I don't know where the implication that society is dependent on twitter is hidden in my comment. But no, society isn't dependent on twitter, is it relevant to society? Certainly.
Yes, they are megacorp. In the general case I think that working to uphold brand standard is the parsimonious interpretation rather than hahaha won't fix.
Just checked, I'm not on Monterey, and I can't say I've decided either way.
I have the 14inch M1 Pro MBP with 32gb of Ram and the 10-core CPU with the 16-core GPU and 500mb of storage and it's fantastic. I drive one 27in 4k 60hz monitor off the HDMI and it's great for everything except gaming.

Compile time is fast, I have no lag no matter how many apps I have open, I've heard the fans spin up twice and once I couldn't figure out why (maybe it's programmed to spin up every once-in-a-while just to clear dust)

Maybe I'll come to regret not buying more storage but I've never filled up a drive and I don't have any problems with external drives/dropbox

I think the M1 Max would be super overkill unless you want to drive a bunch of monitors
There's a difference between recognizing that something is a strong argument, and agreeing/disagreeing with it. I'm simply pointing out that strong arguments can be made in both directions, and commonly are in these threads. Over, and over, and over.

Kind of like how this very comment chain is going, no?
Show HN: We built a LowCode WebApp to Automate testing
Depends on how much the rest of the board really feels like arguing with Elon. Keep in mind these people have jobs outside of Twitter.

You must be on a different TikTok than me. I'm using TikTok from Germany and I neither get NSFW content nor war stuff. It's all silly dance videos, lots of stupid pranks, wonderful musicians and a bit of English as a Second Language content for me.

Regardless how much of this is because of my location or my behaviour, it supports OPs point: TikTok can be very different for different users.
Block Reference Mechanisms
Twitter is largely responsible for shaping media perspective and narrative, so yea, I'd say society is pretty dependent on twitter.
it is the bold "13G" at the top of the page.
RISC is better if you have finite money and want to build a chip.

The simple reality is that Intel had the Wintel monopoly and they had gigantic volume and absurd amounts of money to invest. If you compare the size of teams working on SPARC to what Intel invested its totally clear why they ended up winning.

> The idea that RISC was somehow elegant turned out to be a myth.

No, it didn't. The reality is a bunch of literal students made a processor that outperformed industry cores. Imagine today if a university said 'we made a chip that is faster then i9'.

The early RISC processors with pretty small amount of work very incredibly competitive.

So yes, its was actually amazing and revolutionary and totally changed computing forever.

That this advantage would magically mean 'RISC will be the best thing ever for the rest of history' is pretty crazy demand to make for it to be called revolution.

> code compression properties of CISC continued to benefit x86.

Not actually that much, code density of x86 for 64 bit systems isn't all that amazing. Its certainty not why they won.
very much this.

the point is not for others to notice your impact, if you want that, that's probably considered narcissistic or selfish. the point is to make a positive contribution, no matter how small.

and you define what that contribution is, not anyone else.
His companies compensate engineers below market, does he not?

Also- weird take that both of your examples seem to focus on one specific genre of role. I’ve dealt with many more useless software engineering and product managers on a day-to-day basis than HR-types, who are there if you want/need to contact them or in the background if you don’t.

Maybe Musk would benefit from them, actually …especially considering Tesla has been ordered to pay $137 million to a single worker for demonstrated cases of racism and now the state of California is suing the company for widespread abuse and harassment

Accessibility is a strong gating factor for some (including me). I don't see it in the docs. The whole thing seems to be missing any ARIA (see https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/grid/dataG...)
Let me know if you want help.
Then, what other things would a company be required to do for employees' mental health?
> Do you think it's worth it to sink the hours up front for future efficiency gains?

"possible future efficiency gains".
No. The idea is that moderation wouldn’t tend to select for/against specific ideologies. Twitter discourse will remain extremely ideological in character.
> Quarantines have existed for a long time. Countries locked down for longer.

Can you give some examples?

The rest of your analysis seems incomplete. Some examples:

Zoom, Slack Facebook and WhatsApp able to keep professional, personal and family relationships alive was essential to so much continuing to function, allowing a vast number of employees to shift to online working. One notable point (of thousands) here is that while healthcare waiting lists got longer, many consultations that could be done over video, a thing never thought feasible before, meaning more isolation possibilities for vulnerable patients (and clinical staff).

Having online shops able to update listings in seconds, rather than your example of the 90s where catalogues would be sent out every six months with new stock for you to phone up and buy, or rather, not be able to get through to, was also awesome. Modern logistics means packages and returns can be done incredibly easily and fitted into your day, rather than spending ages on the phone with a human operator.

Uber and derivatives meant that the increased load of shutting down public transport could be transferred onto a dynamic fleet of private citizens' cars, and the traditional taxi firms also didn't require scaling human operators to book, and Google Maps powered the routing for those drivers.

And the rise of cloud infrastructure has meant in general that many services, government and private, have sprung into being in record time.

And those are just the first examples that occur to me.
In the bank's server, the data might be about you but it does not belong to you. The best you can get is a copy. Regulations control what the bank may publish about you without consequence but the implementation is their purview not yours.

Thanks for the article.

Any thoughts on how to deal with DNG files?

A few years ago, I bought into Apple's "DNG promise" and converted all my raw photos into lossless DNGs AND my JPEGs into lossy DNGs. Silly me. I now feel trapped into Lightroom, which I pay for out of inertia and wouldn't like to any longer... and I feel that such conversion was a huge mistake.

The reason I ask is because I've found support for DNG files to be lacking in many cases, and when I researched this recently, the answers didn't seem better than years ago. The article doesn't talk about this at all. So I'd love to be proven wrong :)
Or because he calls people who disagree with him pedophiles?
Tech debt is a Marathon not a Sprint
"doing something about it" is a privilege awarded by wealth, not competency. He could have installed someone with experience in free speech advocacy and policy but he took it for himself. People need to seriously understand that being good at one thing doesnt make you good at all things. There are people who dedicate their entire careers to understanding the challenges of enacting "free speech" (which is often more complicated than just "no moderation"). Elon Musk not that, he is the guy with 5 companies who is mad that people dont like him.
The small print is that you can achieve fusion in many, many ways. The problem is getting any energy out and doing so at a meaningful scale.

Something like ... the difference between folding a paper airplane and designing and building an airliner.
The Matrix demo is close but the facial expressions are still a bit off like the person who's doing mocap is wearing a mask even if they're not. It'll be quite interesting when they finally get those issues resolved and when developers also try to make more unreal (pun intended) looking effects that interact more with realistic looking settings or characters. Having the freedom to make such a disjointed thing in a 3d renderer like how surrealists use to do with oil paints and the like it something underutilized in cinema and games imo.
Highlighting the deception from the media. It would be like calling Aspirin a dog pain reliever or the Hepatitis vaccine a dog vaccine which while true is meant to mislead and likely framed the people trying alternative therapeutics like Ivermectin as insane. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic which has been prescribed 3.7 billion times to people. Does it help with Covid? Current data seems to imply it does not.
Bottling was an issue in 2017 too.
that is an ideological position.
What do you base this on? Seems there are a lot easier and less visible ways to increase your wealth. Real estate, sell your name out, crypto scams, etc.
Fair enough. I'm struggling right now to find the exact interview where he said many of the things I'm probably misquoting him about.

I'll look harder later ;)
"Un-woke" people are greater than or at least equally political compared to those you call "woke", is my experience from real life as well as internet encounters with them, so your longing for an apolitical Twitter/online public town square seems a pipe dream, I'm afraid.
Do you have any examples of Pharo github repositories created with Iceberg? What do they even contain? Does Pharo even have a notion of source file?
Hypothesis: this is not about Elon running Twitter, controlling society, insuring free speech, or any other such thing. It's simply that he wants insurance against being de-platformed, and now he has it.
Ask HN: What other options exist outside of Facebook Ads?
Obviously there’s google ads and “chum box” type ads like Tableau and Outbrain, but what other options exist that we might be missing?
This is pretty much my feeling. I'm not adding types because I have some kind of brain rot that makes me need AbstractFactoryBeanContainerAnnotationFactory. I like adding type annotation because it means you can do static analysis on your code base. Without it, you need exhaustive coverage tests to demonstrate what exactly can be returned.
I found CaptureOne to beat out all of Adobes stuff by quite a bit as well
What evidence is there of this?

Honestly this thread has been pushing me more towards the Musk camp, which I didn't think was possible. But not one person seems to be able to point to specific, concrete criticisms with references.
It's a really simple question (yes or no, and just a single sentence about the reasoning if "no") and I hope the principle of charity can be extended when I say the discussion will come back to Twitter very quickly.

The OP hasn't provided their answer but I'd be interested in your answer too!
Can you explain what your point is?
A example of holding on to old stuff is still making use of a system programming language designed in 1972 in 2022.
You should take a look at D, if all you want is C/C++ like code, then you can focus on -betterC and use the libc or your own batteries (like i do)

It is the perfect language, don't sleep on it!
"Schedule 13D is intended to provide transparency to the public regarding who these shareholders are and why they have taken a significant stake in the company.

To balance my critique, I would add that I found that tabulator had support for most number of features out of the box of all that I tested and was the easiest to customize
Maybe it would be better referred to as a “tracking fork”. At least, that’s how I’d think about it.
I only spent two years in contact with Java. I was initially very pleased with how easy dependency management was but it soured over time.

I'd respond to production disasters with hacky bash scripts and then we'd spend the next sprint incorporating that functionality into the server so the hacks weren't necessary. We kept catching ourselves working really hard to optimize what we thought at first needed to be custom code but what ended up being easily achievable by leaning on well-known non-java tools like `diff`. There's something about the way Javs encapsulates everything into a JAR that discourages Java devs from using anything on the outside.

If you can live in a world where everything you need is in the JAR, life is good, but that hasn't frequently been my world.
I did not call him a shitty person. Here's are the full two sentences:

>Yes, by many measures, he has been incredibly successful at both running businesses and amassing wealth. There are a lot of metrics that you could cite that support that assertion.

>At the same time, by many measures, you could successfully - and easily - argue that he's a pretty shitty person.

I simply said that there are reasons people could successfully argue that he's shitty. What I did not do, however, was take a position on those arguments. The phrase, "You could successfully argue" does not mean, "This is what I believe".
Those structures already exist. They are typically categorized under anti-trust category. The issue is that between regulatory capture, revolving door, dual party system and average voter distracted by carefully selected social issues, the choice is theoretical.

I am not automatically arguing they should be public. I am saying they should be cut down to size.
yeah I know, I was being sarcastic. There's no such thing as apolitical in any sphere that engages with real-world issues of contention.
I was at the last WWDC in person in 2019, and well, the collective gasp at the price of the Pro Display XDR stand was quite a participation!
>what is more punk that being extraordinarily well-read

Having recently been to several punk rock shows (read: damp basement noise fests), I'd say: having a blue collar job, being against "the system", doing copious amounts of cocaine and speed on their time off, and having their entire body blasted with tattoos such as a hand flipping you off, a trash can overflowing with garbage, and many insults. I thought this particular kind of people didn't exist anymore, but no, they're still alive and moshing in the basements of most cities.
Gibson's works definitely demand multiple reads, IMO. I have read Neuromancer around 5 times now, and I'd say I "get it" a little bit more each time I read it. Even now, 30+ years after I read it the first time, it still fascinates on a re-read.
Sculpting clay.

Funny thing. Back-in-the-day Smalltalks were attractive because the source code was included to be studied and re-used (When that wasn't true of many other development tools).
Why do you doubt it?
Definitely a visionary, no argument here
I switched to using asdf away from nvm/rbenv for a few projects in about a couple hours of time, and that included the install/build time for various versions of things and the time to re-run bootstrap and verify things worked from a fresh clone.

It was really impressive how smooth and quick the process was. Great tool!
He doesn't need to bend anything. If Elon wants to make some quick billions all he has to do is to buy any one of a million shitcoins, tweet some lame meme about it, sell and repeat. Admitedly he's done pretty much this with Tesla's venture into BTC, but the point stands.
Canary Islands eruption didn’t act as we expected–we can now ask why
Non-toy computers were only available to the relatively wealthy for nearly a decade. The original Apple II was the equivalent of around $5000, which certainly wasn't a casual purchase for most people.

If you look in back-issues of Byte the prices of early PCs with a usable spec are eye-watering, even before correcting for inflation.

Prices didn't start dropping to more accessible levels until the 90s.
Your post is perfectly clear. It's just not answering the question. Ditto this post.

No one owes me anything. I'm asking a question and you're not answering it, you're just restating "some people value different things and we can't say why".

My point is that people should value Elon's accomplishments more than his attitude. The fact that they don't is bizarre and demands an explanation.
The issue I have specifically is that advice givers tend to give advice either in an unprompted way or as if it will apply universally. For the post at the top of this thread, while it wasn't unprompted, it's positioned as if following the rules _will_ lead to you having better focus, when the realty of the situation is that they won't work for everyone. Something as simple as prefacing these rules as "this is what worked for me, maybe it'll work for you too" is enough to counteract this.
This is a feature. Web browser updates are some of the most important updates on your device. Getting any lay person to update their browser is difficult.

A feature that keeps breaking my work every couple of weeks. It doesn't even allow me to restart when I'm ready. It forces me by not allowing me to open new tabs.

I want to have control of my browser, not the other way around.

How would you describe Twitter’s ideology as compared to Musk’s?
> Why does knowing who else is using something have any impact on your ability to love it?

It's easier to learn to love something if you see how other people love it.
In any cases where pnpm doesn't work, you may set the node-linker=hoisted option and it will work:

Rust implements this at the library level via common crates like 'anyhow' and 'thiserror', on top of a tagged type and a standard "Error" trait. The latter was recently extended to allow for implementation of these features.
What's the point of him being on the board of Twitter? Doesn't have enough going on otherwise?
Sounds like it will run circles around my Indigo2 R10K in the workshop. What do you do with all that power?
This criticism is getting old. Piping curl output to bash is no less secure than installing a package via any other mechanism. Either you trust the source or you don't. I trust it more than I trust npm or pip because I'm typically getting it from the primary source instead of relying on a middleman that's got a poor track record.
My question is why??
13d doesn't seem to make a difference so why file the other.

You can use FSA money for custom ear plugs on Ultimate Ears. Then they take your mold of your ears and you can use that.

None; sounds like a good change for Twitter and probably the best thing that happened to their board in quite some time. I did laugh out loud when I heard about this yesterday. There is a more than a bit of history between Elon Musk and his many detractors and a lot of that involves Twitter. So, Elon Musk buying himself a seat on the board is more than a bit ironic.

The man definitely seems to float from one controversy to another and quite a few of those controversies seem to involve Twitter. Buying a big share in Twitter is kind of a ballsy thing to do. But why not? Might I suggest shorting the stock if you disagree ;-).
ADS data is public. Just because a Twitter bot puts it in a nice easy to digest format doesn't mean the data isn't out there, and there's nothing Elon or really anyone can do about it.

It is trivial to track a plane if you have its tail number and Elon only flies on a small number of jets.

And, no, by "shield himself from the consequences of his activities", I mean things like calling someone a pedophile on Twitter. He is one of the biggest Twitter drama quee s and it would be a lot easier to clean up his messes if he practically owns the company.
So awesome to see this ship!!!

They're a 38 year old metaphor.

Neil Stephenson's Smartwheels don't exist either, and we still don't have "professional road surfers", but that doesn't make Snow Crash any less relevant:

"Smartwheels use sonar, laser range finding and millimeter wave radar to identify mufflers and other debris. Each one consists of a hub with many tiny spokes. Each spoke telescopes into five sections. On the end is a squat foot, rubber tread on the bottom, swiveling on a ball joint. As the wheel rolls, the feet plant themselves one at a time, almost glomming into one continuous tire. If you surf over a bump, the spokes contract to roll over it. If you surf over a pothole, the rubber prongs probe its asphalt depths. Either way, the shock is thereby absorbed, no thuds, smacks, vibrations, or clunks will make their way into the plank or the Converse hightops with which you tread it. The ad was right - you cannot be a professional road surfer without smartwheels."
So... powertop? Possibly run as a daemon logging to the journal, which I grant is somewhat different from how it works now (ncurses tool or something you run and log to CSV).
> I think an easy trap with nix is the immediate desire to have it manage everything, which usually involves installing NixOS.

Can you clarity what you mean?

What do you mean by "trap"? Which (if any) of the following concepts factor into your understanding? Broken expectations? Premature optimization? Over-engineering? Lock-in?

Are you suggesting that many users of the Nix package manager "fall into a trap" and begin using NixOS?

What do surveys and/or data show about usage of just the Nix package manager? Combined with NixOS?
