I think mistrial9's point is: It's only a delay if they have children eventually
I believe it means to only push ahead when things break with fixes rather than rolling back to a previously working version.
Really struggling what your point is.

I didn't say that undefined behavior expose hardware characteristics, though I suppose for a lot of cases it really does - but the compiler won't assume so. I said that C exposes hardware characteristics. And C also has several architectures in mind.

Signed integer overflow is trivial on a two-complement system but not necessarily on others, so the lowest common denominator dictates what can be done. If the behavior is different or expensive you might shift that decision to the programmer.

Negating the sign of INT_MIN isn't cheap to do in a two-complement system.

> In effect, we took millions and millions of people and had them partake in a massive uncontrolled experiment without anybody's consent.

But then… doesn’t this cover all government decisions and legislation?

If presented with this hypothetical situation in advance, perhaps we’d have preferred our governments did X, Y and Z differently.

But the ‘consent’ was given when our generation, or our parents’ or grandparents’, voted in the governments which passed the laws to allow for this.

With hindsight, I suspect many will not vote for the same governments again. But some will. Perhaps even the majority will.

In fact, during the pandemic, many governments who enacted what you call ‘experiments’ were re-elected in landslides.

In that case, I’d say that many people have given consent.

That said, I agree with your suggestion that we should try to figure out the cost/benefit of these measures. I think that’s a critical step over the next few years.
It’s remarkable to me that especially after the last few years that people actually think that Twitter acts in the GOP’s best interest.
Predictable talking points devoid of substance.

For example, a brief excursion to the nearest Geocities archive will immediately demonstrate that access to the Internet was by no means something exclusive to tech nerds and academics even around year 2000.

Plus, the notion that "access" is even the right thing to measure is nonsensical. It's pretty obvious that big tech employees want to get a pat on the back for the fact that every homeless drug addict in US probably has a smartphone now. The real question is whether this "access" is actually beneficial to the poor or just creates a larger pool of individuals for big tech to parasitize and profiteer from.
Just wondering, what does this phrase mean?

> If we ever have an issue in production, we always roll forward.
Python allows for circular imports as long as you don’t directly import things you use but instead their modules for example.

Is that the same for all languages?
This is how my current place does it. The only issue we are having is library / dependency updates have a tendency to work perfectly fine locally and then fail in production due to either some minor difference in environment or scale.

It's a problem to the point that we have 5 year old ruby gems which have no listed breaking changes because no one is brave enough to bump them. I had a go at it and caused a major production incident because the datadog gem decided to kill Kubernetes with too many processes.
I guess I'm surprised at the speed of lazy streams then - usually I just pre-generate the fib sequence if I need it and then filter/aggregate as you mention. Probably slightly embarrassing I've only just discovered their power after several years working in software development :)

What were we (technologists) thinking when we built these toxic social media platforms and algorithms?

Tristan Harris gave a compelling talk a couple of years ago that dug into this question without assigning moral blame on us. [0] He's identified several principles, probably familiar to most of us and seemingly innocent, that he says have led us to where we are now:

* Give users what they 'want'

* Disrupt everything

* Technology is neutral

* Who are we to choose what our userbase does with our platform?

* Value growth at all costs

* Design our interfaces to convert users

* Obsess over metrics

Tristan is part of the Center for Humane Technology, a nonprofit that, in my opinion, deserves more of our attention.

That only indicates what the quality was a long time ago. I’ve seen far too many brands and products go from good quality to poor quality over the years. Good quality sold N years ago says nothing about the quality currently sold, unfortunately.

There isn't anything that special about a 10k file.

> you could be joyful but think your life is worthless

I find this hard to believe. At a certain point I think a lack of meaning in your life is going to make you day-to-day unhappy, whatever you’re spending those days doing.
I don't know what you mean exactly by "diverse backgrounds" and it doesn't matter in this case either, because there were definitely multiple people working on it (although the initial version was the work of one.) They effectively used a forum thread as source control, and just attached their modified versions to the posts.

Somehow grocery stores managed to stay open. So did tire repair centers, auto shops, home depots, uber drivers, pot shop employees, pharmacy employees... what makes teachers so damn special?

Adults sacrifice for children. Asking children, none of whom are at risk, to sacrifice for more than a year for a bunch of frightened adults... it is so disgustingly immoral I can't even.

If teachers were scared, they should have quit and let somebody else teach the kids. Covid isn't and never was some modern black plague. The median age of death was higher than the average life expectancy of a human.
There's another factor that I haven't see mentioned: I have no interest in most sections of the news. And even if I select only some kind of news, say "computers" I'm not very interested in consumer's hardware or commercial programs including apps or games, just programming, security and little more.

But social media live on ads. They tend to promote contents that cater to wide audiences.

If I'm only interested in a few niches, social media are a big waste of time. The contents and the discussions around them.
Many of those extra-divisive platforms are still around in one form or another, and are likely bigger than they were in the past (thanks again to reduced barriers to entry). But a normal person can avoid engaging in those platforms entirely by just… not going on them.

Imo the danger of modern social media’s algorithmic feeds is that it draws in otherwise perfectly normal people, who would never voluntarily seek out the divisive content that gets promoted on their feeds. So now we have the worst of both worlds: platforms with violent political rhetoric are still highly available to those who would seek them out, and more average folks are drawn to seek them out by the “dull roar” that draws them in on the major social platforms.
> Prior to social media there was usenet, specialized forums, imageboards such as 4chan, and mass use of IRC

The content was segregated and you explicitly had to seek it out. Not to mention, there was no algorithm to ease you into it, so even someone whose political views would lean towards a particular affiliation might recoil in horror at the craziness they'd see on one of those "specialized forums", where as Facebook will happily ease you in bit by bit until the craziness appears normal, even if you originally had no intention of reading about/discussing politics and just wanted to keep up with your friends' holiday pictures.

> is focused primarily on promoting the interests of one of a handful of relatively similar political parties over the others

I disagree. I believe the vast majority of divisive content nowadays is created & promoted by random people who don't benefit financially from it; in fact there's no single source (political party, etc) that would pay to originate this stuff, instead Facebook and other social media just use any divisive content to increase ad impressions, regardless of the political affiliation of said content. I'm sure political parties sometimes benefit from these "useful idiots" but even they don't actually fully control the narrative.

I found Arc'teryx quality to be decreasing in the last couple of years.
The Internet has become far less diverse since smartphones. Because practically all "influencers" are now after the same mass-market demographic, that is all about passive consumption of the most mindless content imaginable.

To be fair, they actually had the guts to shut down Vine. They know that they can do the same for Twitter and sunset it.

At low incomes, your tax return is highly likely to be incredibly simple. If you’re doing something so wrong that it generates an audit, the IRS clearly knows they’re going to strike oil with the audit. They aren’t stupid.

What’s your solution? The poor should be able to commit tax fraud because going after millionaires is more important?

Everyone should have to follow the tax code we’ve collectively created. It makes changing it far simpler when everyone is impacted equally.
I basically said women thrive in different environments than men, and that our current society is better suited for women.

I'll admit that I could have phrased my argument more politely. I could have couched it in all sorts of diplomatic language to make sure no one was offended, but that would have obscured my veiws. And I'm tired of censoring myself for the benefit of hypersensitive people.

My comment wasn't spiteful. As far as I'm concerned, it relayed objective truths confirmed by my experience.
There were tons of easy-to-use forums even in the late 90s that were full of people of all ages.

Better idea --- simple context based advertising. In Google speak, apply "topics" to the web sites, not the users.

For example, when I visit a pet supply store, show me ads related to pets. Otherwise, I might just go buy my pet food from Amazon.

There is no evidence they are regrouping. There is strong evidence of vehicles being trained back out of Ukraine via Belorussian rail. To attack kyiv again would be starting from scratch.

Putin’s approval rating is irrelevant.

Russia has managed to lose the battle of kyiv, and among other blundering failures, has repeatedly failed to establish air superiority. The extent to which they would be utterly slaughtered given actual western air support is hard to exaggerate.

At least to the extent of arbitrary Europeans needing to worry about a draft.

Einstein’s response to the anonymous reviewers’ critical comments:

We (Mr. Rosen and I) had sent you our manuscript for publication and had not authorized you to show it to specialists before it is printed. I see no reason to address the—in any case erroneous—comments of your anonymous expert. On the basis of this incident I prefer to publish the paper elsewhere.

Respectfully,

P.S. Mr. Rosen, who has left for the Soviet Union, has authorized me to represent him in this matter.”

Apparently the formal process of peer reviewing wasn’t a thing until then.
> I’m always baffled when I read these comments from non-parents who describe parenting as the end of your life.

Because it is?

Seriously, everything now revolves around your child--as it should.

You can't "just stay jobless" for a year anymore. You won't take that project that makes you skip your children's play, sports, etc. You probably won't move very far (or at all) if you change jobs because your children are in school somewhere. You will stay in a job that may be suboptimal because uprooting your family is lots of effort. etc.

And, this is doubly so for women. Women, in spite of everything, are still expected to be the primary child caretaker.

How is this not the "end of your life"--especially if you are female?
People misjudge where to draw the lines. You will have an orchestration API call that does five things and each of those five things, not used anywhere else, will get its own class, interface, factory, and configuration, so to read thru the five things you have to open like twenty files. And to notice that despite all this engineering they have static credentials in the code itself, you have to be alert across so many lines of code. The whole thing can be one longer file that reads coherently and in fact lessens the cross class importing.
It disgusts me to see this downvoted. There isn't anything false about what you said. What we have done to children the last two years is absolutely disgusting. The fact so many people seem to cheer it on makes it even worse--especially how so many of the "pro-education" crowd cheers it on too.

We fucked kids the last two years and it requires some serious mental gymnastics to rationalize it away.
I’ve played in the NY parks, Marcel is the best player of the bunch interviewed here. Sadly, after COVID most of the Bryant/Union Sq games seem to have disappeared. It’s mostly Washington Sq now.

But there’s this one guy who comes and goes. Always wears these dapper, beautiful robes, and plays up to $100/game. I’ve yet to work myself up to step up to play him…

maybe my use of twitter is wrong, but it's where i go to find interesting news, articles, breaking news and somewhat uncensored opinions. Most 'aggregators' are saturated with the most mindbogglingly boring groupthink. Twitter is like FM tuner, you search for the good stuff. I wish it will be replaced with some kind of RSS though, it s terrible that it's all held by a not-so-competent corporate
That is also very true, there are many layers to a systemic (or critical, if you prefer) perspective.
Normally add something technical and related that I expect to be mentioned in a stackoverflow style forum but not in a spam.

I'm kind of surprised that you can't find engineers interested in creating a new implementation of an existing application that is actually used by people. I think that might be my dream role.
If they're not a parity then you are doing CI/CD wrong and aren't forcing deploys to staging before production. If you set the pipelines correctly then you *can't* get to production without being at parity with pre-production.

> they don’t want your changes to interfere with their validation.

Almost like those are issues you want to catch. That's the whole point of continuous integration!
I was just contemplating this age old battle of light vs dark when it comes to shady marketing tactics vs every-day consumers. My phone number was somehow picked up by some spammer sending me 2-3 spam SMS's per day with the same shady tactic trying ("You have an unsent package", "claim your free gift", etc.) to send me to the below domains [1] w/ a tracking code attached.

How do we, as the people building the platforms these perpetrators ride on, stop them? I reported this one to Cloudflare's abuse form because they're all on Cloudflare's nameservers, and almost guaranteed to be the same owner, but, it took me 5 minutes to fill out the form and they only accept one URL at a time. It's just too time consuming to fight back as an individual consumer.

Every one of us has thought at some point, "there has got to be a better way".... right? So?

The answer (IMHO) is to not use services that make it impossible to develop locally, unless you can trivially mock them; the benefits of such services aren't worth it if they result in a system that is inherently untestable with an environment that's inherently unreproducible.

(I can go on a rant about AWS Lambda, and how if they'd used a standardized interface like FastCGI it would make local testing trivial, but they won't do that because they need vendor lock-in...)

You need to apologize in your head. You have to talk about how sorry you are in your head. If you are going through something, you have to apologize for it in your head. If you have trouble apologizing in your head, for whatever reason, just write down the apology on a piece of paper.

I apologize all the time out loud. For my whole life, I have almost never apologized in my head. I like apologizing out loud when I am wrong or have insulted, because I see it as a chance at righting a wrong. But until recently I have never apologized in my head. Not because I don't like doing it, but because of some sort of mental block that affects my ability to form an inner monologue.

An 'inner universe' empty of thought and apologies is a huge personal liability. Trust me.

Just google what I quoted and have some imagination.
