I logged out and made a throwaway because I'm somewhat sad to see the responses here. While it isn't helpful to every alcoholic, and should never be forced upon any alcoholic at all, it is to some. It's the alcohol equivalent of suboxone, for better and worse. You cannot force an addict of either sort to recover until the person wants to, for sure, I've been there.

I chose to seek Antabuse of my own volition some years ago after failing repeatedly with every other method including naltrexone and rehab. It worked for me brilliantly to stop my brain from sabotaging my life. Humans are not immune to the biological and evolutionary mechanisms that every other animal also suffers from, and there's just as much no reason to ignore things that can work.

I know this'll just get labeled as shill post since it's anon throwaway, but I promise I'm not. It does work for some people and gave me my life back. Maybe not that many, but more than zero.
Totally agree with not imposing our own views on others.

> As a father, I have made it clear to my children that at some point they are responsible for themselves and of course they will get support if they get into trouble, but not for every mischief they get into.

Maybe you already know this, but I also have to point out, with regards to our children, sometimes they really do need our guidance. Not the controlling/imposing type of "guidance", but the gentle, open type of encouragement. Especially as fathers, our love can often be detached, and some children will feel unsupported because of this. (Not sure if this is you, but your comment sounded kinda serious, hence my point.)

It's one thing to teach them our values (which is another way of imposing our worldview, to be honest), it's another to give them the love they need.

:)
It's kind of funny hearing both potential employers and employees coming up with "concise" or good enough code example. I think this exactly the beauty of this approach. If you don't talk about some simple sorting Algo code is always full of tradeoffs. Talking about these tradeoffs how your potential hire thinks about them if they even see them. This is the real value of this approach I think.
No, you aren’t going to have higher volatility like this than you would buy triggering a poison pill like discussed in the article.
> One AI engineer from Tesla could solve Twitter's bot and spam problem.

Translation: "AI is a magic spell! I can take someone who's been working on vision recognition, and they alone could wish all our bots and spams away, with the magic of AI."

> The elites

Oh, god, here comes the libertarian spiel...

> but instead believe free speech, free discourse, and free thought are the instruments of repression.

Translation: "I want the right to tell any lie I please without consequences. I want the right to be able to scream at people on the Internet and keep my account. If I can't call someone racist names on the Internet, it's because you're all Fascists and authoritarians!"
Money very clearly has a social coordination effect. You can’t get people together predictably and repeatably without it. Interestingly, it doesn’t matter whether it’s positive or negative cash flow. Elite private colleges are an example of people paying for the same social coordination they’ll expect to be paid for later on in life. I think university startups work because students are looking to use money and business to keep exploring and maintain friendships. I really wish there was such a thing for older people. I cannot figure out how to make this work, even with money.
I was confused because I got an email from Salesforce to my personal email. (We use Salesforce at work.) Email looked phishy (e.g. unsecured (non-https) links). Apparently they acquired Heroku in 2010.
I think the argument is that if long term holders wanted to sell at this sort of valuation then they would have last year when it was way higher. If there was a bunch of retail money fuelling it then they could have took advantage and got out but they didn’t. So why would they sell now for a smaller upside?

It's the opposite. Few companies know that you can do without PR. Even fewer know why they are doing PR or where it comes from. But everybody starts with PR, it's the default in their VCS UI.
Why announce in advance? Drop the bomb, if it’s a dud, don’t mention it at all.
I agree. I would be happy to provide references of the developers and engineers in my ex-teams, whether collaborators or mentees, who would give me glowing references.

Instead, I'm asked for senior-managers/directors as references... who were the reason why I left in the first place. I guess HR just wants to know I was actually employed there (tick box)
They will talk to Twitter board and make an agreement with them to not trigger the poison pill, and continue buying shares.

Such an agreement would be reached incredibly quickly, there would be no need for stopgap measures.

From the article:

> Under the new structure, if any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of at least 15% of Twitter’s outstanding common stock without the board’s approval
That does make it seem less serious IMO, given he made the same claim about somehow keeping shareholders when he pretended he was going to take Tesla private

I explicitly said not to write “why” docs to explain specific value choices, but rather document the context around the setting, and what happens when the value is raised or lowered, and why you might want to do that, so I’m thinking this isn’t a topic you’re grasping very well.

You’ll be fairly lonely if you reject working with everyone who’s read Clean Code, and truly alone if you won’t work with anyone who understands something better than you.

> You're telling them that they aren't seeing and feeling the thing
they are seeing and feeling. You're not arguing against their take,
just denying their experience.

In psychology, a term for that is "minimisation" [1]. I commented on
the power-play aspect of it here [2]. It seems so common in all forms
of social media (and seems significantly less common in real-life to
openly minimise another's experience [3]) that one suspects it's an
immanent feature of electronic communication.

That seems to mesh not just with diffusion of responsibility, but that
every other person in the digital world appears as a single, isolated
data point who could be gaslighted into thinking they were totally
alone in holding their opinions. As an amplified tyranny of the
majority it seems the go-to attack in tech circles, where minority
users are openly threatened with the "inevitable" march of
"ubiquitous" technologies and will be "left behind" for failing to
fall into line.

Until these mechanisms have widespread recognition and are named I
don't think it's possible to build social media technologies absent of
serious harms.

Pencil smudges are definitely still a huge issue for left handers....

I think that pencils are of course nice cuz you can write things lightly and then erase stuff. But honestly, after being forced to use a pen when moving to Europe in HS after years of "you have to use a pencil for math".... just scratching things out works so well.

Pencils also are pressure sensitive, if you want to do anything like gradients...

I still like pencils for doing paper puzzles or the like, just cuz it's a bit easier to "fix" stuff, but it's definitely the minority of my usage.
It is absolutely social media. It is not a clone of Facebook (rather Facebook is not a clone of Usenet), but that's not what defines social media.
Where were these checks and balances when Europe decided to rob and enslave the whole world?
(British, Spanish and Belgian colonies)
You say all this in a comments section of a thread masquerading as deep, earnest honest expertise instead of what it is —- self serving self interests for the OPs in group. So we have the multiple positive references to every rich person mentioned. Defending the corporations as not primarily money focused...

Instead of seeing any of that. Your response is to just complain about “woke” stuff?

So much of what you wrote applies to your comment: “arrogant self important”. talking dunning Kruger on others while writing “echo chamber with a bunch of highschoolers, anarchists, socialists, tankies, and the woke”.

It is interesting how the center and right have pointed the finger and says the left are snowflakes and triggered and whine all the time and so on. Yet comments like this and most similar discourse is doing what they are pointing the finger at. It’s wild.
If you think variable naming is the only tool in the “self documenting code” toolbox, I recommend learning substantially more before dismissing the concept.
> It doesn’t have to be like this. Even when I was CTO, I’d submit my code in a PR and my team would pull me up on mistakes and inconsistencies. It was really annoying! And also great.

I can imagine that you had fun mingling with the commoners for a day, now try it on all of your actual work, and with the whole C-level team gang up on you for each review.

> about how the organisation cuts code

You don't have any guidelines for how the organisation cuts code, and that's why you like the review process, because it covers up for that.
Everything you named still is far worse with how much they allow and how much bigotry, .1% worship, and far more authoritarian ideology than Twitter. By a wide margin.
What Is the Rule of Law?
Any of them work, and it probably depends how deep you're in.

If you can't fall asleep without a drink, xanax would be a good choice. If you need a drink in your hand all day, I'd guess librium. If you're drinking from shift end until you pass out, probably ativan.

Alcoholism takes a lot of different forms, and obviously a doctor should come up with a taper plan.

But I think the reason these drugs (which actually work) aren't first line treatments is puritanical. They feel good, so giving them to alcoholics to feel just as good (or better) than they did with their drinks feels uneasy. But it really works, and it can be much more easily tapered and controlled.

It's frustrating to watch after having seen multiple people successfully taper themselves off booze with other drugs (without doctor's supervision, sadly).
caused by the banking crisis. ok. But do you really thing Blair and Brown and war spending and no restraint at all on domestic government spending during the boom blowing out the debt had /nothing/ to do with what came next when the boom ended?
Well the government bills always get filtered out for me, I agree with gmail that it's spam however the goverment doesn't agree when I didn't pay a few times. So opposite is even worse.
> You could clone an open source repo and use that if you're worried. The value isn't the code; it's the conversation.

Open Source code plagiarism is a major problem and doing random forks/clone of popular repos to up your github cred is a thing and in my opinion it is unethical. Even if the interviewee tells you it is an open source project you will have a hard time distinguishing their code and the code from the original repo.

I think the interviewer should show their own production code and ask the interviewee what they think and what suggestion they have to offer. If you are not comfortable showing your own production code ask the interviewee to explore an open source codebase.

The "Show me what you got" approach puts way too much unjust pressure on a candidate and might force them to chose unethical means just to impress you. Then again if you want be impressed and if it is working so far for you, ignore my whole argument.
Wrong Side of the Trade
I totally agree with you, however when society at large is built on the back of such a belief, you can't just pull it out from under everyone overnight without major collateral damage.
maybe? it’s a terrible newbie experience. but once you know how to use a version manager, things get a lot easier. it’s been this way for forever, and the problem is not limited to ruby.
That take loses a ton of nuance. This is probably talking about anti-racism.

When the status quo is actively discriminating and harmful, doing nothing is enabling oppression.
I hope it's actually to an ide. They do so much to make code easier to read, like showing the code highlighting, function docs, and links to the source
> If one thing can be gotten from that incident is forcing GitHub to create finer OAuth scopes and per repository.

Just noting that gitlab has supported per repo tokens for ages. Yes, it's really useful, as this incident can attest.
Just to have a true and simple statement:
I don't have any ethics about eating. Maybe attention for health and taste.
Honestly I would find "Best," confusing, and I don't think I've ever seen it before.

What is it supposed to mean? "All the best"? "Best wishes"? Why not just say that?

Depending on the rest of the content I would probably assume either that someone was going for one of the above and didn't even notice that they a word, or that the author is a non-native speaker translating something from their primary language.
That’s how a large part of the world thinks though.
Sounds significantly worse then whiteboarding.
> What’s your thought process of coming up ideas and executing them.

Usually the come up naturally: I have a need and can't find any product satisfying that need.

I don't (need to). I have a well paid job and publish side projects as open source (if they get far enough). Are you looking for some kind of business advice?
You say you generally hate him but then list multiple positive things about him that go against generally hating him. How do you hate someone generally while saying the person with guts is that person and they are a “fuck it” kind of person that will help social media.

None of this remotely squares with hating the person. All the positives about Elon are what any one who likes him or admired him would say. None of what was written would be what most non status quo, non center/center right people would say.
Correct but irrelevant. I was there and did all that, and most of the people with me would have agreed with the expressed sentiment as it relates to taxes.
I’ve found people who don’t know how to express themselves well tend to also be the people who live frustrated and confused lives.

I assume that’s a result of being mostly ignored. Censored, if you can apply that to people not taking you seriously (and I’m sure they do).

But yes, continue to make poor arguments and then get upset when people tune you out (or ban you). The indignation probably feels pleasurable, at least!

Platforms should be able to censor and ban whoever they want for whatever reason. Any other stance violates the platforms free speech.

If Trump was on the mod team of a platform, I simply wouldn't use that platform.

No one needs to use Twitter. Most people's life wouldn't change the slightest bit if Twitter disappeared tomorrow. There's no serious argument that the platform has a monopoly on anything.
Android has been the "Year of Linux Gaming" for a decade, and it has hardly improved GNU/Linux status quo.
Many protocols read values of a network to specify how much is left in the packet (it's how packet boundaries are usually encoded, specifically in SMB1/2/3).

Sure. So do many other protocols and file formats. But if you're using those values for memory allocation without checking them first then getting a 0 might be the least of your worries. Unchecked large values might be a DoS attack waiting to happen.

If you work with C code where security is a factor then surely you already know this so it still seems odd to put so much emphasis on your original question. You do you I guess. :-)

I don't know in which world this guy lives but after hours and hours of debate with both right wingers authoritarians and left wing authoritarians, right wingers complain about freedom of speech nowadays, left wingers complained about freedom of speech 15 years ago. As th Twitter thread mentions, 15 years ago it was about porn, gore and videogame - nowadays is about talking about your political ideas. I was firmly on the left side 15 years ago, nowadays the only left wing battle I support is drug liberalisation.

In the age of cancel culture I've heard of nobody on the left being persecuted for their ideas, at best I've heard them being criticised by the other side and they run successful campaigns to deplatform them.

My impression is that the educated substrata of society got progressively more left wing authoritarians (likely because of their strategic control of mainstream media and education) and nowadays all the 20-30 something that run big tech have certain authoritarians ideas painted as being virtuous.
An authoritarian internet will undoubtedly raise kids who will be even more authoritarian than the current generation.
Can anyone explain how an automated filtering/censorship system can't "keep up" with this, technically? Even with a tiny delay, it seems to me the problematic videos or posts could be taken down easily. It's not like every Chinese citizen is posting terabytes of data daily...

> People who own single family homes at the kinds of locations where developers are eager to build apartment buildings are among the wealthiest and most powerful ever to have lived.

If you imply "all" then I simply need to find one counter example to prove your statement wrong. I know people who have sold their homes in the middle of a city to make way for high density housing and they are not "the wealthiest and most powerful ever to have lived".

The end game of these LVT policies is that we will all be living in apartments and paying rent in perpetuity. When we die our kids will take on the burden of that rent. This is how it works in Switzerland today. All apartment buildings are owned by private investment firms. A key feature of the USA is the ability to build generational wealth through land ownership.
As an outsider looking at Twitter I think they're fooling themselves if they think the problem is lack of free speech.

When I click a Twitter link what I usually see are:
- bots and spam
- low quality replies that add nothing (usually from bimbos or 3rd worlders trying to get the attention of a celebrity)
- shallow one liners to an idea that people don't like

As much as upvotes were made fun of, I think Reddit had the right idea because at least the upvoted posts were almost guaranteed to be of "readable" quality. And if you wanted to, you could easily sort the thread by most controversial and read the unpopular opinion.

Now Reddit is a website where free speech is actually lacking with shadow bans and slightly controversial posts getting removed.
I'm not criticising the review itself as much as rather the PR workflow and the tools of github, especially the blocking mechanism. It's my opinion that collaboration should happen much sooner rather than being pushed to the end with the review of a PR, and that you should have designated people who have the power to sign something off as production ready.

If a team inside a company want to gather inspiration from the open source world, they should look at how the owner teams of open source projects work internally, not how they work together with outside contributors.

And, it's a very common "solution" in tech to just simply not have any feelings, but people have feeling and that you can't turn off, and that's a very important contributor to work satisfaction.
`ts` is like `cat`, but each line gets prefixed with a timestamp of when that line was written. Useful when writing to log files, or finding which step of a program is taking the most time.

`sponge` allows a command to overwrite a file in-place; e.g. if we want to replace the contents of myfile.txt, to only keep lines containing 'hello', we might try this:

grep 'hello' < myfile.txt > myfile.txt

However, this won't work: as soon as grep finds the first matching line, the entire contents of the file will be overwritten, preventing any more from being found. The `sponge` command waits until its stdin gets closed, before writing any output:

grep 'hello' < myfile.txt | sponge > myfile.txt

Would you also agree then, that holding onto shares of a company would also require you to pay a proportion of the value of those shares in tax? In other words, this is a wealth tax?

And if you mock them, creationists will also start a mob against you. And probably try to prevent you from ever being hired at places they work at.

Such behavior always existed.

It's just that if a sect cancels you it's less painful than if the majority of society cancels you. And lots of right wing people don't want to believe how left wing society as a whole has become, so they see canceling as a conspiracy by the left, when it's really just the majority of society boycotting you.
