> First, let it be clear that I hate WaPo and the left.

Don't be apologetic. We can all thrive well if differences are amicable.

I personally feel Washington Post is a good / respectable news outlet. But that shouldn't weigh over. If they did something questionable in this matter, all the reason this should be dealt firmly and a precedent set.

My issue is entirely on the veracity of the modus operandi. If it is true then Twitter has a massive problem with internal security. And for that matter, it would be good to see some other corroboration on this particular information.
I’d guess it’s not that big a part of the state economy, but definitely a big part of the Orlando area’s. Just my guess.

Moving would be a significant action. Michael Jordan observed that even conservatives buy sneakers. I’d rather see Disney as a vague “fantasy” brand than a specific viewpoint brand, regardless of the viewpoint. Wouldn’t push that preference on anyone else.
Not advocating for censorship here, but isn't the problem obvious?

Making cringe compilations of the "other side" crates a distorted selective image.

One that is easier to dismiss and hate. With how humans process information, it's essentially equivalent to misinformation.

It's not anything new or innovative though, "SJW cringe compilations" have been popular for the last decade. But they created some people with a really warped understanding of social justice movements, and I know because sometimes I make the mistake of arguing with them.
What would this list look like? A list of posted removed for being misinformation but that were actually not? Not particularly surprising such a thing does not exist
Your "average person" doesn't reflect my view of an average person's feelings. Even leaving alone the assumption that it's possible to distinguish a foreigner by appearance, a feeling of being "creeped out" by seeing handfuls of them seems very extreme.

Perhaps it's a matter of experience? For instance, I've lived in Sydney, New York, and Berlin, and in each case, during my daily commute there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people of different ethnic appearances, but it's far from creepy, let alone paranoia-inducing.
And even if it did, it wouldn't be bitcoin. As bitcoin is capped at a maximum number of units, with some being burned by losing access to them, it is per definition is deflationary currency. That would prevent a normal economy from working.
5 emails a week is only 260 a year. That's fewer companies than a single YC intake. I don't think it'd be hard to write a LinkedIn profile that matches positions at most startups (a few popular languages, interests in trendy tech, open to remote or in a popular location, senior skillset with lower years experience maybe indicating good-but-cheap). That would get you lots of recruitment attention. It doesn't mean anything is odd in the startup market (but obviously it doesn't mean everything is fine either, it just isn't a strong signal either way).
Many friends of mine do this. It has to be obvious, but I suppose Netflix/Disney/etc would rather have at least a month or two out of you rather than $0 or torrents.
If someone wants to try out IPMI locally with VMs, here is a setup for that: https://github.com/kinvolk/racker/tree/main/racker-sim (you don't need to use Flatcar and Racker)
I’m not American so I may have a hard time following but can someone please explain why counting people by race isn’t deeply racist?
Also this echos the numerus clausus system that deeply hurt Jews in the name of ‘overrepresentation’, why does anyone think this is any different?
It would be interesting if you can build something like Mac Studio desktop for linux.
Primarily the sheer number and scale of roads, yes. I’ve done a lot of driving inland in Aus, and even where there is a lot of arable land it is not nearly so neatly or densely carved up, generally just hectares of paddocks/farmland with fire and access trails and fences.

I’m utterly awed at the scale of infrastructure that must’ve been involved in building those thousands of kilometres of roads, let alone maintaining them (I imagine they aren’t particularly “maintained”, but all the same).
I want to give a location (pix+radius, four corners or whatever) and a delivery schedule (once a week etc)

This is the requirement. The timeline could be once a week, once a month or once a .. - the point is not frequency but predictability. With Google Earth, Open Source, et al there is no predictability, that's why they are not answer for THIS potential customer.
"For now" isn't enough, it needs to be "for good."
What is the price of fossil fuels contributing to climate change? Has that been factored into the calculation?
That’s an opinion, not a fact, re: hideous etc.

Please explain the latter bit again.

I too see no need to switch suddenly to this fetch api when older browser support is important to my daily driver web app. I found the tone of this article condescending when browser apis have mega committee-ware battlescars all over them and likely implement both of xyz with the same call to epoll anyway, (joke about systems programming)
I admit it, my success involves luck
Carmack (and id) open-sourcing Doom has been one of the biggest legacies in software history. Simply phenomenal.
I've heard the liquid salts are quite corrosive which is a hard issue to deal with.
The author fails to support the thesis that “modern software is so bad.” A handful of anecdotes, some speculation about how software development quality might suffer, and the usual analysis with the benefit of hindsight and the implication that a better developer or manager wouldn’t have made mistakes.

Adobe Creative Suite crashing sounds annoying but no one dies when that happens. Nothing blows up. I have servers with 3+ years of uptime, running web apps that add value to businesses, reliably, all day long. I can’t remember the last time a computer or phone crashed and lost a file or hours of my work. I can talk to my phone and have it navigate my car. Does it matter that the navigation code has some bloat or technical debt or could have been better if it was written in Rust or Clojure? It beats paper maps and asking for directions even if it’s not 100% perfect.

Modern software literally runs almost everything. Phones, cars, TVs, airplanes, social media, banking, infrastructure, etc. Every web site, every server, all running software written by regular people. It mostly works well enough — actually a lot better than I would expect given what I know about software development. Why can’t we take some pride in our profession and express satisfaction that anything works as well as it does rather than constantly griping that the profession and the world are not perfect (for our own value of perfect)?

I can’t think of another profession where relatively well-paid professionals have so much freedom and creative latitude, but constantly complain about their tools, their bosses, their company, their co-workers. And many of us (programmers) do that even though we are surrounded by evidence that most software that anyone uses at all mostly works well enough and adds enough value for companies and customers to pay for it.

We get $100 - $200k/year to do something a lot of us find fun and interesting, then go home and write a blog post about how our managers don’t care about technical debt, or how our co-workers are “doing it wrong.” I’ve been writing code for 40 years and I still enjoy solving problems and getting “thanks” from customers and users. I’m not going to flagellate myself because I had to use PHP or take some shortcuts because the business had other priorities besides my perfectionism.
Tech salaries seem to be becoming increasingly bimodal: you can get $600k/year as a staff SWE at amazon/google/facebook if you get competing offers.
Underground storage requires specific geography that is unlikely to be near to existing coal burners.

Big industry, such as green ammonia production from electrolyzed hydrogen, could be good though. But I bet those will likely be powered by massive amounts of solar plus batteries, as is being planned in places such as Spain right now. For at least the next generation of electrolyzer tech, energy costs will be dwarfed by the capital costs of electrolyzers, and the electrolyzers will need to be run nearly continuously. It remains to be seen if the tech curve of electrolyzers will decrease more quickly than the cost or batteries and solar do.
Nukes are expensive just because they are expensive. Always have been, always will be.

They probably could be made more cheaply than they have been. Making them cheap enough to be economically competitive will be very hard and and very uncertain of success. And, trying will take time we cannot afford, because you get no power out until it is all finished, and you burn coal until then. Renewables start producing and displacing coal almost instantly.
Ok? So make a redneck cringe compilation. I’m sure plenty of those exist on YouTube. Hell we have “idiots in cars #63767” going strong.

The difference is powerful politically-connected groups don’t start hunting you down via insider baseball like this if you make fun of the right people.
The sum total of the waste produced by nuclear power generation in the US occupies a volume the footprint of a football field and 10 yards high [1]. The "infrastructure" it requires is concrete cylinders that are perfectly safe to stand next to [2]. The amount of waste it produces is miniscule relative to the amount of power it produces. And most importantly, this waste is contained rather than released out into the atmosphere like greenhouse gases.

That's a bit of a stretch. Stats suggest it's more like 5 decades for a reasonably healthy American 30yo white male today.

Then consider that in your final decade or so, your options are extremely limited because of severe mental and physical decline. 1 in 9 adults will spend one or two of their final decades in a long goodbye due to Alzheimer's alone.

But the decline starts earlier, mental speed is high until age 60. This will affect your job and career prospects, and even if it doesn't for you, employers (esp. in tech) think it will and discriminate based on age anyway (roughly ~45yo based on some articles I've read). If you're a blue collar worker, a career of hard physical labor starts to hit a wall. If you're a woman, fertility starts declining (and childbirth health risks dramatically increase) fairly early (~30) and dating desirability follows rapidly.

Those are just the terminal issues, psychologically your life path more or less calcifies as you age. There's no age cutoff but, for example, it's said that the longer you stay in corporate work, the more likely you'll stay there and the less likely you'll succeed at entrepreneurship. I'd speculate there's maybe one or two more major life pivots in a 30yo.

Most of these factors don't exactly make life unbearable, but after a fairly "young" age (around 30 I suspect) a lot of doors start closing and it only accelerates from there. Depending on what "prime" or "best" means to you in terms of life goals, realistically you have much less than 6-7 decades to exploit them. I generally disagree with this attitude of oh don't worry you have plenty of time, life is much shorter than you think.

Nevertheless, once your doors are shut, there's little use in ruminating over the missed opportunity.
Bouncing usually requires money
Math notation, and there can be several is like a foreign language. You can only to learn it by using it a lot in practice. You can't just read a book that tells you how to speak a foreign language and that would be it.

You have to learn and understand the symbols, and then you have to learn and understand what is being said using those symbols. You need to learn the letters and the words made with them and then sentences made out of words. It's a lot to learn. But practice makes perfect.
Someone could submit several fake email email addresses and negatively impact your domain name email reputation.
This is what happens when you let your software auto-update. The developers have all the power and they know it. That's why they push these things that they know you will hate. "I can do this to you, and you can't stop me." An intoxicating power trip I'm sure.
One would think that all parties involved are supposed to be respectful.

Media is never respectable. It's always been hungry hacks scrapping over whatever would grab headlines.

In the past they've only been honest and accurate, accountable, because of public pressure. Either through competition or the courts. Now there's really no competition. And haven't all the courts been loaded? I exaggerate. A little.
>Omicron and Delta were both more deadly

Just goes to show the difference in public messaging. Where I live, all the headlines said that Omicron and Delta were less deadly (but more contagious). Then again, Delta arrived here just as the vaccination campaign was starting, so where were not many column inches left to discuss the new variant.

>so you don’t need to imagine.

I sure do. I have yet to meet anyone who's had more than flu-like symptoms with any strain of Covid, and I doubt my experience is particularly unique.

1-2 billion per gigawatt is very economically competitive. And that's what nuclear has historically cost when it was built at scale in the US. A fair comparison against intermittent sources like wind and solar needs to include the costs of energy storage for the latter.
That's wrong.

But don't worry, feel free to think what you want.
That's true but this only making things worse
But, waste is not reprocessed, because it is expensive. As is every single thing about nukes.
Decades of low interest rates resulting in wealthy people looking at new places to put their money to make more money, coupled with the phenomenal results that early stage tech investing has seen in the past 20 years, with a bit of "new money" from people who have lucked out in tech and crypto.

Let me be remembered for watching TV. I would be utterly delighted if that’s my long term legacy. “They finally rested and enjoyed the most banal show imaginable. It was relaxing. Any other lasting contributions will be in other records should you care.” There I’ve written my eulogy.
I am genuinely curious why there are no other big outlets carrying this story. It’s a pretty big allegation against twitter’s security infrastructure, not to mention a journalist who has written for some of the largest papers
I play a lot of SSBU online and it works well. Rollback netcode would be a huge improvement, but the game is definitely playable. Online play clearly isn't a focus for Nintendo, but it's hard to argue with their success. Perhaps their focus on building self-contained experiences is part of their secret sauce.
Best Buy did the same thing with their HomeKit compatible light switches - they were nice enough to give you gift cards equal to the purchase price, and the switches continue to work just fine with HomeKit, though maybe you cannot set up new ones.

They also annoyingly blink a green LED because they can't contact the server.

I don't believe this is part of Twitter's public API, just accessible without authorization (not an expert in Twitter's API, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong; based on a quick browse of its documentation). That's similar to using SQLI to extract information.
> Making cringe compilations of the "other side" crates a distorted selective image.

That’s what almost every single media outlet has been doing about enemy/unfriendly foreign states since forever. People seem to be completely fine with that.

For sure, seems bimodal or even trimodal from what I've read. I don't suppose those tier 1's ever accept fully built SaaS projects in lieu of the usual interview gauntlet? ;)
Venting the roof is standard in new construction, to protect the roof structure from moisture and excessive heat. They did the fiberboard chute so they could densely pack blown-in cellulose. Otherwise the insulation wouldn't have a good surface to push against (you don't want the insulation to touch the roof sheathing).

On typical homes with blown-in ceiling insulation the insulators will staple cardboard against the lower few feet of roof framing, creating a similar vent space from eave to ridge.

This home's ceiling R-value of 82 is about 2.5 times standard.
> I hate the left, but I can’t find wrongdoing by WaPo here

How about doxxing some stupid social media account, like that is even remotely a good expenditure of their resources? Write about it if you must, but why attack the owner?

There’s no national interest here, vs something like the content of a certain elected official’s son’s laptop with references to giving the “big guy” his cut.

Why is it so important we know who runs some stupid meme account, but they can squash huge issues with impunity?

They will have a "limited ads" tier to replace "no ads" within 5 years.

People that have extra disposable income to avoid ads are very valuable to advertisers.

You’re correct but even if Twitter is not responsible here, I’d still like to hear the reporter clarify why she thought the real name of the owner of the account was newsworthy (if that’s indeed what happened, it seems corroboration is scarce thus far)

I've been thinking about the reals a lot...beyond the rationals are all the real numbers like pi that have finite definitions, (even if those definitions, like pi's, require infinite computation.)

But there is also this vast set of reals that are simply undefineable, non-repeating sequences. These numbers are unmentionable and unknowable. Does it really even make sense to say that this subset of the reals exists in the same way that definable numbers do?
The answer to misinformation is not more misinformation; that aside, it's not usually the left who claims the "free marketplace of ideas" will sort everything out.
I suspect the mods didn't want to deal with the vitriol that results from such discussions. The people who want an Amazon union discussion subreddit should start one. They probably just didn't want their sub to be taken over by union/anti-union propagandists.
I wish they would just modify the standard to not allow "Look at all these spaces!"@example.com and such. Many email systems already don't accept it (e.g. gmail doesn't, probably others but I didn't test) so the actual practical value is small. There's a whole bunch of stuff in there that no one uses and just makes things harder than they need to be.

I've been programming for 25 years. I've been reading this same article repeated over and over again for 25 years too. Clearly it's not working.
I build homes. This isn't standard in the US. I don't know how much cost it added -- probably not a lot. 10-20% I'm guessing. But, it's not low-cost.
Back in the day, every page of an online store was rendered server-side. One day, someone needed certain elements to call database views and rewrite the dom inside a little area when a user clicked a button. So smart people tried to create frameworks like React that would automate the Dom update and bind the Dom more closely to the data state on the server.

After many years, front end programmers forgot how to build their own hooks and came to rely on automated views. Then they began to forget how to parse models and build controllers. Why not shuffle all that off to the back end anyway?

One nice thing about rolling your own front and back ends is that you can determine when or if each individual subcomponent needs to update its visual state. Often this is very useful in managing the actual server load, but it requires understanding who needs this data immediately and who can load it lazily long after a page loads, or the other data updates server-side, not to mention whether it also has to become readable across a distributed or federated data structure.

So after all the modern conveniences, server side rendering impoverishes both front and back end coders in the name of curing a problem with data transfer and efficiency that is far less of a problem than that of overly tight bindings between front end states and back end data storage.

Anyone can write a tightly bound backend model/view/control..
