Personally, I don't think "solving" minor inconsistency by eliminating a feature people like is the best approach. And from the way you talk about it, I gather you're not much of a Twitter user, so maybe you should give some deference to the people more familiar with the problem to decide whether this is a good choice or not?

If you have proof that other platforms have solved this problem at scale, I would be very interested to see it. Fundamentally, those totals are never going to be perfectly correct because a) people will be adding and removing tweets continuously, and b) even if continuously updating the numbers were worth the resources, people would hate having the numbers changing frequently.
I'm wary of using closed-source online string formatters and converters, so I've been working on https://string.is/ as a safe, open-source alternative. I had a couple of goals when building it:

1. It should be open-source.

2. It should not set any cookies.

3. It should have a strict Content Security Policy.

4. It should be opinionated about dependancies, and only use well-known, well-supported libraries.

5. It should try to detect the format of the input, and intelligently choose output options.

The last point in particular I feel is an improvement on most existing services - paste in some text and it will try to auto-detect the format and convert it accordingly (although admittedly detection of some formats is a bit primitive currently).

It's built with TypeScript + Next.js. In addition to the hosted version, the GitHub README has one-click install buttons for Vercel and Heroku, plus Docker images.

In case it could be helpful to have an impression from someone new to SF - just moved here six days ago (to kickoff a personal sabbatical & hobby software project).

Unique experiences so far:

* Cappuccino with goat milk in SOMA.

* AirBnB without host on-premises and tenants have to supply their own tp.

* Strangers patiently wait for you to finish your entire thought before responding.

* Walking the outskirts of Tenderloin as a warzone of filth and garbage then going into a majestic co-working space; the contrast was surreal.

* Decision paralysis - there are SO MANY places to eat that it's been anxiety-inducing to adhoc search for anything on map app.

* Unexpected things have useful apps; riding public transportation downloaded three apps (Caltrain, MUNI, Clipper), using laundromat, sampling various co-working spaces.

* Co-living and social clubs - if finances can be justified, there are surprisingly numerous communities to get immediately plugged into for anyone solo.

Still too early to form an educated opinion, but already disagree with the op-eds that SF lost its charm for tech / startup folks. Compared to what I've experienced across Northeast, Miami, Detroit, and Seattle, I notice that SF simply has so much abundance for things I was seeking as a solopreneur - coffee shops, co-working spaces, people working on personal laptops in middle of day, local discord servers, public tech calendars, and a fall-back safety-net to rejoin employment.

Good luck on your documentary!
One core assumption of this article is that the nuclear reactors would have passed safety inspections if they would have taken them in 2019.

But I doubt this, many of the reactors have already been operating beyond what they where designed for. Like from what I know about them I honestly wouldn't be surprised if previous safety inspections wouldn't already have slightly looked away to allow them to pass.
It’s a ridiculous pain in the ass made tolerable because we’re both tech industry dinosaurs. Initially it was the only way to get TOTP 2FA on a Gmail account which is why I switched and because of the way Google does Google things my spouse has a completely separate account (she was a Googler at the time though has now successfully escaped). For my MIL we set up G Suite because it was the easiest way to lock down her security settings and support her remotely. There is no G Suite “family” option, you’re either a business or an enterprise.

For our purposes it’s been fine, but it’s overkill for the typical family or typical consumer.

One definite downside is that G Suite accounts are not considered to be consumer accounts so you run into various Google services which either don’t work at all or work very differently. For the brief time we used Google Home it could not access either of our G Suite calendars (but somehow the Alexa could). Our Nest footprint exists in a separate world from our G Suite accounts. When we had YoutubeTV we had to use a separate GMail account because (at the time, I don’t know if this is still the case) …because G Suite accounts could not be used for YouTube TV.

I moved to SF 5 years ago from Canada. I worked at a small startup that got acquired and now at a pre-IPO company of about 1500. I had worked in a small city in Canada previously. I moved in my mid-30's which is later than a lot of people but I had always wanted to move and work here when I was younger but didn't due to low self-esteem and thinking I wasn't good enough as a software engineer to "make it here". It's the biggest regret of my career that I didn't move here when I was young. I ended up finally moving because I realized I was in a "now or never" situation as I could see the window closing due to being married and my wife wanting to pursue her career options.

I really like the ambition here as it fits me. I strive to the best I can and I find a lot more of that here than back home. Maybe I've been lucky but I've generally worked with kind people so far. I haven't seen anything that would be featured on an episode of "Silicon Valley". Maybe it's because I moved here later and have a better eye for avoiding that type of stuff, I don't know.

I've had a chance to work on a couple great projects and all-in-all, it's been a great experience for me so far. I'll probably be here another 5 years or so before moving back to Canada.
There may be done image formats with thumbnails in metadata, but in general, no. You have to generate them. Which makes sense too since you'll need multiple sizes of them, depending on your use case.
> dollar spent on nuclear is a dollar that could have much more effect invested in renewables instead.

The real world is made of atoms and people, not dollars. To illustrate: if starting tomorrow, every car produced was electric, it would take 20 years to replace all the cars. Given unlimited money, we could not convert all production of cars to electric in 5 years. The earliest possible switch to all electric cars is like 2050.

We have limited capacity to produce batteries and renewables, and a limited speed at which that production can be expanded.

We also have existing manufacturing capacity for nuclear and staff with skills to build / operate them, and it should be used. It should not be wasted.
It's hard to sympathize with people feeling isolated because they're rich. They could at any time remedy their situation and return to the world of normal people. They choose to be in that situation.

>It does add additional transparency to financial markets though

No, not really. This comment is more crypto myth-building. There's nothing technical about blockchains that adds transparency. Any company that wants to publish all its financial statements publicly can technically already do so and could always do so. They don't for many reasons, the most important ones being that customers overwhelmingly want financial privacy, and financial companies are required by law to provide a certain level of privacy for customers.

>open, verifiable, non-custodial, programmable financial contracts

No, smart contracts are technically not "contracts" in the legal sense and are also not "non-custodial" because they require middlemen to run the blockchain. There is also nothing more open or verifiable about smart contracts compared to any other program. They're just programs. I absolutely hate that they used the name "smart contract" for this because it's so misleading.

>as long as all the inputs can be verified reliably on-chain

This will never happen because the only reason they're useful is because they take inputs from off the chain. The marketing is that users will be able to actually use these things to perform services. Of course that is self-contradictory because of the previous reason.

>This gives people equal access

No it doesn't, because only a small fraction of people are going to become smart contract programmers or are going to become skilled in auditing smart contracts. You might as well say all finance gives people equal access because anyone can become a CPA.
Somewhat ot but since you say its gpt3 powered.. Does gpt-3 still require that long review form before you can make your gpt-3 powered projects public?

That's one of the biggest reasons keeping me off publishing my fun gpt3 projects as I've heard their review process is/was really long winded and rigourous.

Nuclear waste is, from my perspective, one of the most discussed aspects of turning off nuclear power in germany. It's a complicated matter, that sparked a lot of controversy between german states. For example Bavaria doesn't want it in their back yard, despite being geologically suited. This is an active research field with many aspects. Unfortunately this wikipedia-link-thing won't do.
Women are less active than men, the numbers say. I wonder what we would see if we were to break out the numbers for Southern California or California as a whole. I think here that women easily match the amount of activity of men. Back in the 1970's it was a rare thing to see girls and women out running. Now Runner's World has practically become a women's magazine.

This kind of agreement is incredibly common in families with histories of mental illness, drug abuse, criminality, and other major issues. I know dozens of people who have all agreed to never have children for this and various other reasons, and half of them are in long-term, committed relationships or married.

In at least one instance, I’ve seen the DNA analysis and the family tree. This particular family has a known gene for heightened intelligence (related to Scandinavian heritage, it’s well known, you can look it up), and their family has an uncanny predilection towards careers involving mathematics stretching back over a century. I’ve seen this ability with my own eyes. It’s uncanny and bordering on savantism.

The problem is, in as much as their genetics gives them a head start towards math, it is also heavily weighted towards certain forms of sociopathy/psychopathy and criminality; their family tree is heavy with addictive disorders, extreme religiosity, murder, substance abuse, and mental illness. The youngest member of their family is currently in prison as a recidivist. He’s only 27.

I don’t see it as "fucked up" at all for these people to stop having children; they are trying to be socially responsible for their progeny, some of which may have a genetic predisposition towards bad behavior. The philosophy of movements like antinatalism and childfree are rooted in these ideas and seek to make the world better with less humans.
If I recall correctly, you can do both. You can compile your fennel code to lua, or you can use fennel as a library in your lua application so it will understand your fennel code.

Does Crockford care about Open Source?

People who aren't doing evil can use it. It's not compatible with FOSS. It's a linter, it doesn't require being incorporated into people's projects.

Making it proprietary would be more limiting, making it Free would also be limiting (in a good way imo.) He chose to make it his way.
I specifically dislike the "Lessons" section, as it throws all the blame on github and doesn't mention the seemingly obvious advice: "make sure you're not on autopilot when taking potentially dangerous actions, on github or any website".

Yes, GitHub probably should show the stars in the warning UI, and hopefully that will prevent some of these mistakes. But GitHub makes it pretty hard to make this mistake already - the author had to _type out_ the name of the repo they wanted deleted into the warning box. At that point, it's hard to believe the author when they claim that this one addition to the warning UI would have definitely stopped them when they weren't paying enough attention to notice they had typed the entirely wrong repo into the confirmation box.
Rollbacks even better.
What he certainly has produced already is a lot of attention, now, if he can't buy up this specific platform at his final bid maybe a dump and a 51% will follow ... whatever the case he got an extraordinary amount of people in and outside of TWTR discussing his intentions and captured hopefully some imaginations so in the end if nothing succeeds in terms of an acquisition he can at least effectively leverage this huge attention to jump start a new platform.

I'm not for obscenely wealthy single individuals i.e. 'oligarchs' sponsoring "open source free speech platforms" but I welcome the mainstream opportunity for stirring up the dead end (social dilemma) in which social platforms find themselves (from out-of-spiral censoring ("moderating") to basically uncontrolled anon image boards) I guess from an engineering perspective sensible new solutions are very much needed.

I'm sorry, but i've heard first-hand of instances where drug research is terminated because it looked to yield a cure ... then funding funnled to those that produce a treatment, rather than a cure.

Between his cosmetic surgeries and frequent usage of doppelgangers in various situations (like even driving the "opening" truck across the Crimean bridge, etc.) good luck knowing whose teeth that would be.

> the more I like the vision of a 1930-era utopia

A utopia for non-minorities, you mean? Because the 1930s were not necessarily a pleasant time for everyone involved.
I ran into this in pgAdmin recently. When right-clicking on a server, the options to disconnect the server and remove the server are right next to each other. Clicking disconnect presents you with the following dialog box:

"Are you sure you want to disconnect the server? No / Yes"

Click remove presents you with the following dialog box:

"Are you sure you want to remove the server? No / Yes"

Good luck! I mean, it's not a super huge deal to recreate the server entry, but still annoying when you're in the middle of something and just realized what you did.

Honestly, just replacing the "Yes" button with the action being taken would be enough to improve this. "No / Disconnect" and "No / Remove". But my personal opinion is that disconnecting is not a destructive action unless there's an open transaction or running query. So the dialog box should be contextual on that scenario, and otherwise it should just disconnect.

"Disconnecting will cancel executing queries and rollback open transactions. Continue? No / Disconnect"
Correct, it's all converted to Lua, Fennel has no runtime.

Looks interesting, starts at $930 which is not too steep vs other products in the same space, price of upgrades is not stated which is a bit scary. Several Linux distros tested including Ubuntu, but Debian is not in the list. Appears to have a non-removable battery with nothing said about replacing it. And of course the CPU (whether you pick Intel or AMD) is full of blobs, management engine, etc. I didn't notice a mention of a built in microphone but it is a standard thing to find on laptops, so what I was hoping to see was a way to hard disconnect it.

Edit: aha, I see replacement parts including batteries are available if you select "parts" from the menu.

Ordering screen alert says "Production for the StarLite's has now finished, and are in the final stages of testing. Orders placed now are estimated to ship out in 2-3 weeks."

There are some unstated "if"s in that, so I would say until people actually receive units, it doesn't quite exist.

Anyway I will keep an eye out for this. I'm going to need another laptop at some point and this seems like a possibility, as does the Framework, etc.
Or, just leave everything in place, always, and have the other code ignore the annotations for exactly as long as the repo is private.
Yeah, that's why I don't like vmap so much. It just never gets you an optimal algorithm. On CPUs, you don't need to do the same number of steps each solve: you might as well fully decouple all of the solves and max out the threads. Broadcasting DiffEq.solve will do this fully decoupled version, but it's better to parallelize it either with multithreading and distributed (or polyester). That's of course the better thing to do on CPU, and then you don't need to worry about filling kernels or whatnot because you can just oversubscribe if you have to.

On GPU vmap isn't as bad at face value, I thought it would be fairly close to optimal, but when we dug in we found it wasn't the right approach for the ODEs we were looking at either. Julia has KernelAbstractions.jl which can do similar code transformations as vmap, but when digging into the CUDA profiler we found it takes a pretty substantial number of trajectories to fill the kernels. There were a few more optimizations we could do to it, but it was reaching its limit rather quickly. Meanwhile, it turns out that if you can just generate .ptx kernels for the ODE, minimize the usage of global memory by keeping all ODE parts locally in registers, and then only couple within warps, you can beat that by about 100x. So some of our other GPU stuff has gone stale for a bit while we've been working to get this approach completed. It was somewhat of a disappointing conclusion because it means we have to really specialize some codes for GPU, but anyways, full details will come probably around the end of summer.

Flawed logic. Closing the nuclear plants has very large, real, tangible and undeniable costs. One cannot discuss the cost of opening them while ignoring the costs of closing them.
> Look at Facebook, and the CEO special shares. Do you think you are an owner of Facebook or a passenger along for the ride?

That's not a great example, because in Facebook's structure, Zuck has special class shares which give him 10x the voting power of regular shares, per share. So he actually does have the majority of the shareholder power, irrespective of any rationale of the responsibility of directors.
All I can say is, nice try. I live here. It parallels I405 which moves at a walking pace for most of the day. All those people are going somewhere - and Kirkland, Bellevue, Renton are all major destinations. Have you looked at the skyline of Bellevue lately? The corridor goes right by it. Around the north and south ends of Lake Washington it could connect to the rest of the light rail, making a complete circuit around the Lake which divides the metropolitan area in half.

Really, what could be more useful? I'd use it all the time. Sure, it wouldn't go by my house, but I'd drive to the station and take it for the major part of my trip.

It doesn't have to be high speed. It just has to be faster than the gridlocked I405 with a predictable schedule. I always have to leave an extra hour early to drive to the airport because I might get stuck on I405 for an hour.
If Russia was willing to attack NATO, it would drop actual nuclear bombs, that are way more lethal than destruction of nuclear plants
