It's a video pushing a whole bunch of clearly fabricated stories and libel about me. The leader of the Calyx Institute and multiple project members have also participated in this abusive behavior. They've tried to pretend as if their highly abusive behavior isn't real and is simply imagined. Techlore's video shows a series of doctored screenshots with him lying through his teeth about the history, context and content of the screenshots. He very openly gets pleasure out of directing his toxic community to harass me and teaching them to push these talking points about me being schizophrenic, crazy and delusional.

Nicolas Merrill and other Calyx Institute employees have extensive involvement in this. Nick has repeatedly tried to claim that I'm crazy and delusional. Today, Nick openly tolerated and showed his tacit support for ongoing raids on our rooms. Multiple people currently involved in massive raids on our room alternating between spamming extreme gore and libel were openly bragging about it in the Calyx room. He was there and perfectly happy to allow it. He has openly engaged with people repeatedly insulting me, harassing me and saying that I should kill myself. It's not the GrapheneOS community engaging in a misinformation / libel campaign across platforms and this highly toxic / abusive behavior.

I can link a whole bunch of other Twitter threads and archives about this but I currently need to deal with these ongoing raids on our room by CalyxOS.
To be fair, a large part of the problem is that many graph-related algorithms are simply very expensive (computationally). For example, many layouts (especially classical ones such as Fruchterman-Rheingold) are very slow. That often makes visualization frustrating when you have more than a couple of hundred nodes and/or a dense network. And we should acknowledge that the Gephi people have put a lot of work into making it work.

So network analysis evidently benefits from think-then-do approaches, while exploratory work is really hard.
I've also not noticed anything besides Squid Game and Parasite here in Germany. Also not sure about the esports thing, maybe I'm looking in the wrong corner. 20 years ago when StarCraft was still on people's minds there was a meme about Koreans, but since then I wouldn't say there was anything spectacularly popular.

And because a few K-Pop bands are now a bit more famous I wouldn't call this a hype cycle. Then again it's hard to tell, I've not been to a department store for 2 years, but I've not heard of any flash mob thingy in literal years. Maybe you're projecting Berlin's weirdness to the rest of us and it's just not there ;)
Background queue pulling from the db and pausing / retrying failed jobs
The blockquote is still inside the page and indexed by search engines. While many will get a blank preview, it is still immortalized on the internet and visible if you block Social Tracking / Twitter's widget.js.

True, npm packages are a risk. However, I think that there is a big difference between using npm packages and loading javascript from a third–party domain: with an npm package, you can inspect the source. If you don’t like what you see, you can avoid the package. I’m sure that most developers fail to do so, and just blindly trust that the package will do what it says and nothing else, but at least the opportunity is there. If you load javascript from a third–party domain you lose that opportunity, and all hope of keeping your website secure and your visitors privacy intact.
Was Solaris more used than HP-UX or AIX in 2012?
The correct solution is to make this event based and not sequential.

You have service A that checks if it needs to send an email.

Service B submits a value to DB and adds a task to the email system inside a transaction. If the DB is down, the service will retry later. If the email service isn't responding, it can roll back the DB change.
Looks fantastic on a real operating system at 1920x1080. Gwern is many things, a few of them positive, but he's not a designer. He's just a guy with an internet connection. The site works, though. Just install a better operating system, ideally with X11, that can do proper typography.
You're technically correct here due to some sloppy words, but this isn't the point that everyone here is trying to make. We know our terminals can connect to the internet, we don't want them to do that without being instructed to. If our terminals randomly curl'd websites (as opposed to delivering telemetry to a 3rd party), I'm sure the discussion would be similarly displeased.
Yes, it is of course based on the Cyberpunk TTRPG IP, which sets many world building aspects. However if compare the content of the Cyberpunk 2020 TTRPG guidebook with what is in 2077 you'll quickly notice the monumental difference in scope and how much the latter drew of these other works in ways obvious and subtle.
I signed up, got HTTP 502 on my first day. Deactivated the account.
Explore some topics in detail, write a book explaining them to others in simple words. This is probably not half as easy as it sounds, but it might be fun. Atleast that's what I'd do-
Desktop open source applications is a broad category. I can list a few that are decidedly better than their commercial counterparts: VLC media player, qBittorrent, Firefox*, Calibre

In fact, their commercial counterparts are and were so terrifically terrible, it put teenage me on a journey to discover better alternatives and how I discovered FLOSS in the first place.

What you probably mean is 'Professional' desktop applications are provably never going to match commercial counterparts. In which case, at least for Software Dev work, it hasn't been true for decades.

For creative work, commercial vendors have a tendency to squeeze out more from their customer base after a while, and that provides an opportunity to sneak in. FLOSS can also keep on trucking under the radar and suddenly appear to be good enough one day. Blender is an excellent example.
An image is not text. Just copy the text and be done with it. You even only need to apply styles once on your site with a twitter-css class.
> I see design elements that don't serve the usability of the website

Every single thing you listed has a purpose.

> the background image

is a blurry gradient of colors magenta and orange, angled off-axis. In other words, the complete opposite of the page contents: Sharp black and white precisely-aligned text.

The purpose of a background is to contrast the foreground. Mission accomplished.

> the colour of the toolbar

is one of the only persistently consistent visual elements across the entire website, which features many very different color schemes in its content. Take this page [0] for instance; as the menu elements you refer to lie on a higher level of interface hierarchy, this color of the toolbar sets the topmost brand tone of the entire website.

> the right alignment of the text

Quoting the very page under discussion:

When your eyes read to the end of a line of text, they have to jump to the beginning of the next one. Left-justified text causes all lines to start at the same vertical, making your eyes sometimes miss the jump and begin reading a wrong line. This is why you're sometimes reading the same line twice by accident. By right-justifying instead, the left edge of the text is made variying, and your eyes have an easier time picking the correct next line.
I was going to write this as this is how I would do it but you beat me to it. +1
If permanency is a priority then letting external scripts be responsible for presenting content is not a good idea, especially if the agreement doesn't make any promises about whether content will be permanent, and doubly so if the agreement / terms of service explicitly say they can change the behaviour of their services at any time.

What this probably calls for and maybe something is out there is some service that can embed, archive, and track changes to a tweet or social media post. You'd embed the same way, but the archive will fetch and cache the content. It could then serve up the original version, as well as a timeline of changes.

The right to be forgotten has merit though, and I can see twitter's logic there and probably they're under pressure via GDPR or something. So any archival or cache service would need to take that into account. Various countries and districts have varying laws on what is and isn't official public record too, so it seems like managing that could be the function of a dedicated archival service.
I have a similar problem. I've found investing and working as a researcher at an investment firm (or VC firm) is a good fit as you get to learn a lot about different industries and companies without having to spend months on the same thing or get too deep into the weeds.

If you do MBTI you'll probably find you're an ENTP or INTP, and learning more about that can help guide you as well.

Not aware of any HTML parsers/traverses (if that's what you mean with "Crawler") but interfacing with C libraries is easy so grab any C library you'd like for that task.
Yes and no. You can have plenty of commitment for 5 years, and then you feel like doing something else and your commitment decreases. Infidelity doesn't mean the whole relationship has been bad.

My point is, there is an expectation that a happy marriage lasts your whole life, and while there is nothing wrong with a marriage like that, it is not the only happy solution. You can have a relationship end without regretting ever going into it.
personally, I don't understand the appeal of tiktok, guess that makes me too old for the target demographic I guess.

I never liked facebook (fake people bragging about their perfect fake lives for all the world to see).

I used to find value in twitter - but now I just can't wade thru the all noise to get to the value - gave up all major social media years ago, don't miss it.
Good to have options. For me I won't be even testing this distribution when looking at their preference for signal, tor, their own VPN and duckduckgo.

Thanks but no thanks.

For those in Europe our preference tends to be with Telegram, ProtonVPN and Qwant. Please consider this configuration profile as default in future releases for those in the European continent. Thanks.
Clojure Isn’t for Me
and users are no doubt rejoicing at not having to use them
I keep staring projects like this, but I haven't found the right level to put a lisp in the Go stack.

I've done a runtime lisp, but it felt like programming a lisp isolated from everything that made Go, well, Go. I've done a simple lisp to generate Go AST to do codegen pre-1.18, but that's not a complete program.

I haven't found the place yet that feels quite like Clojure.
> I find it easier to concentrate for an hour or two on a video than a book.

That is because video does not requires you to concentrate. Imagine a book which is required to be read in 1x or 1.25x or 1.5x or 2x only. Pretty impossible to read, isn't it? You know, some paragraphs may require several hours to be read. Video just doesn't support to be consumed at different speeds per paragraph.
I think there are two levels here. You answered from a financial perspective, and in that case yes they are utilizing talent effectively, in the sense the company is more profitable. But on a larger society perspective the question is still here, is society better (large topic I know) when Airbnb increase their profitability by 2%, is it the best use society can make of these engineers?
What was the solution, and why is is simple and elegant?
Yes but bundling packages via npm is not an issue either, it's the fact that third-party embeds transfer personal data to the third party whenever a user visits the website, that is the central issue.
OP here.

This is my workflow, it doesn't have to fit everybody else. If you want a single software to do everything then you should give Darktable [0] a try, it can handle all steps in my proposed workflow including importing, browsing, editing and metadata organization. It even exports to third-party services. I think it has more features than Lightroom, although the UX is arguably worse.
As a user of sentry technically, you're also aware of how difficult it is to keep user information out of those errors and stacktraces. Just paths are enough to start leaking information about you and your system that just shouldn't leak from your terminal to the internet.
This happened to me. Switched to a very strict gluten/soy-free diet and years of bipolar and anxiety started to clear up. In hindsight I've realized I have celiac disease and no one bothered to tell me.
If before they didn't know anything about economics, and now they have a basic understanding of how a country's economy works, I wouldn't call that standing. Same with all other topics, going from "zero knowledge" to "basic knowledge" is already more than what 99% of the people on the planet will know about any given topic.
I didn't know about Filmulator, will check it out. Thanks for sharing!
It's presumably trivial to forge Twitter's "verified" embedding as well, so that doesn't prove anything. (Just have it link to a deleted tweet - plausible deniability!)

If it still exists, just add a link to it underneath the screenshot. If it was deleted, then there's not much you can do, but that's no different than if you had embedded it.

Why Russia is losing this war
Whats you work / love / sex / health / family / friend situation ?

Always better to see a pro but we can try finding a root cause.
The solution I have pulled out of GTD is that once a day I clear everything out of my inbox, and anything that needs a reply gets put into a todo list. Slightly later in the day, I groom that Todo list, and work out which items I will today, and set aside 30m in which to do those. If there's an item in there that will take a significant investment in time -- including a certain email -- then I'll make an appointment on my calendar to do it.

I'll respond to interesting email that comes in during the day if I feel like it / if I'm bored, but knowing that once a day I do a complete clear-out is helpful to me
1. Use it to your advantage: Being curious and able to satisfy your thirst is incredibly valuable. Foster it and be assured that having diverse knowledge and an open mind can help you in various situations and jobs. Best thing if you are able to find a spot/job where a wider perspective is useful and appreciated. But there is no single job description where this is the case, it is entirely individual.

2. Accept the fact that you will always have a shallower knowledge than people that focus on specific things. Be humble, there will always be someone smarter in the room with knowledge on his favorite topic that you will not be able to match unless you dive way deeper than you are currently willing to go.

3. Realize that your drive for knowledge and understanding is actually a natural thing - I would argue that this is the case for most people, and while some have found ways to satisfy this "need" with random redirection activities (mostly "entertainment" and shopping), some have found "their thing" and are investing their energy into a specific thing - which sometimes is utterly useless (as in "useful for the greater good, humanity, or for someone") , sometimes can be turned into something useful for oneself or for others (e.g. "money in the bank").

4. As soon as you make your hobby your job, it is no longer a hobby, it is now your job. And for most people that means they no longer enjoy it nearly the same way they did before. A envy the few lucky ones where this is not true. You now need a new hobby.

5. Don't forget to enjoy life. If you found something that makes you happy, that is purely awesome! But also realize that you will have to do things that at the same time (1.) keep you from doing what you love, but (2.) also enable you to do what you love. Some people call it their "job". You need money and time, your family needs money and time, your hobby needs money and time. Find a way to sustain all that, so you can do and enjoy the things that make you happy.
Why Russia Is Losing This War
How can you seriously say "video does not requires you to concentrate". I'm genuinely curious as to why you would think this is true.
What's funny, that I had friends who were running Windows Me very successfully, without any issues whatsoever and they liked Windows Me. I guess, they were lucky in that regard.

Mine experiences was totally different.
Panic rooms are all about being attacked in your own home. A general collapse of society isn’t required to use them.

Even in the safest countries, you will still have a small percentage of home invasions, kidnappings, and burglaries. That’s why people have locked doors, alarm systems, barred windows, guard dogs, actual guards, electrified fences, and finally panic rooms if all of the above fails.
Twitter itself can always prove an individual user said something. I assume they never actually delete any tweet from their system, so a proper law enforcement request can require them to verify that a particular tweet actually did originate from a handle at such and such a time & IP.
Probably the same person that also had a 9-pixel wide screen with 3 bits per pixel color depth.

The survey looks like it picked up a couple of corrupted CPU Vendor strings like cAMD, ntel, and €. I wonder what happened?
Well supposedly over 200,000 left since the start of the war. If true, while it might not seems like a lot in relative terms, this is still a pretty huge deal. These people are likely generally more productive and educated than an average Russian and if this trends continues it does not bode well for the Russian economy. Of course politically this might benefit Putin since those people are very likely opposed to his regime. In any case Russia’s demographic situation is not great so an additional few million young people leaving might have huge negative consequences in the long term.

> West just taxed the rich of Russia and reduced their power to remove Putin?

Arguably no. They’ve lost access to some of their wealth in the west but their actual power relvant (in the form of companies they own in Russia is still in Russia). So the expectation is that loosing access to the west would incentivize them to use any power they still have to get rid of Putin. Considering how intertwined their sources of wealth and power are with current regime I’m not sure how likely is that. But basically the west wants to make it so that keeping Putin in power would seem more expensive than replacing him with something/someone else.

> You can't eat dollars.

Individuals still want to buy foreign good (while they might be harder to access or more expensive it’s still possible to acquire them).

Also most people would probably prefer to store their savings in USD/CHF/EUR rather than Ruble since it’s value is going to collapse the moment Russia lifts capital controls. This arguably only increases the demand for foreign currencies.

Main categories of goods imported by Russia in 2021 were: ‘Machinery & Equipment’ and ‘Medicine’ and it’s not like Russia can just stop importing these of they want to keep their pump jacks and hospital running.

> But you find a few 1,000 people online with bad experiences (...) and assume you have a complete picture but you're only looking through a pinhole of information returned with biased search results.

Oh I know a good story.

I know a woman who unfortunately isn't the most educated person in the world and happens to have a nasty health issue where both her feet are all swollen up and makes her hard to walk around.

She's been seeing doctors left and right to solve or mitigate her condition.

One time, when she went to an appointment at the local hospital, her doctor handed her a form for her to sign and told her just to sign on the dotted line and don't worry about it.

The form was a consent form to amputate both her legs.

I happened to come across her when she was going to get a second opinion with the very form in her hands, completely furious.

She still has both her legs, even though she still suffers from the same issue.

Oddly enough, the hospital which handed out the leg amputation form also had a malpractice suite where they amputated the wrong leg of a patient.

Moral of the story: even though medical professionals are expected to be more knowledgeable about health topics, they are still human and far from infallible. More importantly, ultimately you're the person responsible for your personal health, and you need to have a say on what's done with your life based on the info that medical professionals make available to you. If you do not take an active role on these decisions on your health, others will eventually make these decisions for you, and they may not be good or have your best interests in mind.
I don't know how it's done now or what APIs support, but here's an old-school design:

During the first database commit, set a field indicating that the associated email is pending. After sending it and getting a success, do another database commit setting the flag to sent.

You will need a server-side task, maybe a cron job, to periodically query the database for pending emails and attempt to resend them, then set the flag to sent. Also, hopefully the API you use to send email has a way to avoid duplicate emails, perhaps by attaching a unique ID to the request that's used to detect duplicate sends.
HL2, Portal, CS:S. Valve really hit it out of the park in those days. I wonder how much of Steams success can be traced back to it. Just the Valve catalog alone carried it for me and my friends.
The only time I had my car towed was in Devon, SW England, in 2020. I hit a pothole and blew out a tyre. The company that towed my car took it to their workshop, and took me to my hotel. The next day I spoke to them to organize getting a pair of new tyres. That was a challenge because I had winter tyres on as I was intending to return to Norway before the spring and no one stocks winter tyres in Southern England. It took them another two days to get the tyres. They charged me for the tyres and fitting and that was it, no charge for the ten mile tow.
I remember pushing the limits of "fast" gameplay with really fast suit mode switching, and before that modifying the suit values in an .ini file in the game directory to have flash-level speed and infinite energy.

It's a shame that they dumbed it down in the sequels so much for the consoles. And that the game became so much worse _as a game_ (even if my first play through had my jaw hit the floor when I entered the alient ship) after the midpoint. Punching through plywood shacks for an ambush, jumping high for a grenade, using speedmode to get a flank (which the AI would be unaware of - if they couldn't see you!).

Yeah it was a good time.
