> how emotionally charged, toxic and unpleasant it is

Considering you framed me as toxic I wonder how you frame the guy you are defending, as he is the one who is bullying everybody, committing securities fraud left and right, engaging in pump&dumps and doxxing whistleblowers.

But all that is somehow okay because of empty promises of Mars, FSD or some other technoutopian pipe dream.

It's the same identical blindspot Trump voters had about his character because he made empty promises to do something about China and immigration.

The issues people care about are often exploited by autocrats and fraudsters to gain power and wealth right now while they promise to do something about the issue sometime in the future (and never do).

Fear of death is already starting to be exploited in SV by cryonics companies, but I predict Musk will enter this niche too with Neuralink as it's too juicy of a fear not to exploit.

Are you saying you're sceptical of something published by Austrian China: View from China with an Austrian School of Economics Perspective? Austrian economists are well-known for their firm evidence-based reasoning, right? :)
Less wokeness means not being able to hide censorship behind the "inclusiveness" facade. Saying "males and females are different" shouldn't result in a ban, even if some woke moderator feels deeply offended.
No one is forcing German users to use twitter first place. Also your post reads awfully xenophobic.
Thanks for sharing. Do you find the clients and contract work through your network or from your full time job?

I'm at a startup that has some customers which need extra work that I can do but the optics of it might look bad if coworkers find out.

It is playing out on a global scale, but it's much more self organized.

Remittances are sometimes the only thing supporting an impoverished nation from imploding. For instance, the hard currency remitted would allow the nation to import enough food to keep prices stable.
This seems fanciful - "if it'd work so well, why don't we already do it" is a real point against it. I think people imagining this are forgetting problems with communications overhead, trusting each other, and how much it'd actually be useful.

What we do have are realtime traffic alerts and Waze, and presumably a robot car could use those as well as we do.
I have not heard of Hara or V. Can you please provide explanatory links?
Good recommendation. I would add Slack by the same author. It doesn’t necessarily align with the average PMP but it’s highly effective.
Why not? Imagine a software build monster with working directories and compiler cache in RAM, and the many cores such systems come with.

> I can verify sources, and quantity != quality when it comes to shitposts.

I feel I have the ability to figure this stuff out too.

Unfortunately, the people I care about do not have such ability. And they trust these online personalities (who are largely supported by bots) more than my discussion points or arguments.

Yes, I'm defeatist, but there's a reason for that. I don't think my friends being dumbasses / unable to handle propaganda is a reason to cut them out of my lives, but it is very disconcerting to me how terrible at logos they've become, and how much ethos/pathos sways them these days.

These are people close to me: my mother, coworkers, my sister, etc. etc. I enjoy a spirited debate with them now and then still but its not to actually convince them of any facts, but only for me to check up on how far the propaganda train they've gone. Actually trying to convince them of anything doesn't work, and is not the point of discussions in my experience.

The fact remains: online personalities (be they Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, Trump, etc. etc.) hold more sway to these people than my own words. I cannot win the ethos or pathos battle, only the logos battle (but that's only one peg of the rhetorical triangle). Without any support of ethos or pathos, its all for naught.

That's why rhetoric is ethos + pathos + logos. We can't just focus on the logos leg. Figuring out ways to punish the ethos (ex: banning Trump from Twitter, to diminish his reputation) seems like the only answer.

Any attempts for me to diminish ethos on my own only leads to an ad hominem attack which is easily deflected and diminishes my own logos.

C is more useful to a broader range of programmers than C++. If your goal is to maintain million LOC C++ projects and make that your whole career, then spending the considerable time effort in C++ is worth it. But the whole world speaks C, it's so much simller. If your goal is to wrap existing libraries or speed up a hot spot in a language like python, plain C is a no brainer.
> “Taking care of your body is important, but tending to your relationships is a form of self-care too. That, I think, is the revelation.”

My own visceral experience along these lines has been healing my relationship with my dad. I didn't have negative experiences with him, just a complete absence. He was not in the picture at all from my years 3 to 25. Short story long I eventually found and cold called him and we mended the relationship. There is no doubt in my mind that I probably added years of life by doing this. Not just for me but also for my brother and mom who also weren't talking with him. Heck, even for dad, too. He was diagnosed with cancer coincidentally right around the time I cold called him and healing our relationship very likely was a strong motivator for him to keep fighting and living.

Anybody in a similar situation is welcome to contact me and talk further 1 on 1.
Ask HN: How have you increased your sense of community since the pandemic?
Since the pandemic, it seems I've become a permanent remote worker. I think I've missed the sense of community more than anything from office life. For a while I thought making more music could help me here, but that's mostly just been another thing I mostly do alone (although it's a ton of fun).

How have you found a growing community? Virtual community counts here too, as long as you've found it able to fill that gap.
If this concerns you so deeply then write to your representatives to enact legislation. The kid did nothing wrong as it stands now since anyone can look up that data apparently.

I doubt private flying will become that frequent within the next 100 years. How would it possibly be safer than driving? Now instead of just dealing with distracted, sleepy, drunk drivers on the road, I have to worry about accidents raining down from the sky? Please, just build train systems and well designed, well-zoned, walkable cities and we won’t need to worry about flying.
It's a schelling point.

Both do. Individuals need to stop directly burning fossil fuels, AND we need to switch our industrial and power generation infrastructure. There’s plenty of work to go around.
> What separates a cis child from a trans child? How could you reliably detect/diagnose such a condition?

> how could you possibly diagnose gender dysphoria off the fleeting whims of a preteen child?

I'd recommend you take a look at the diagnostic criteria [0] for what you're talking about. Take note at how much stricter the criteria are for being diagnosed as a child. And then consider that mental health services already tend to discount the lived experiences of their adult clients. I can only imagine the crap young trans people have to go through.

> particularly when it is advertised as a solution to the typical confusion and angst that teens feel as they transition into adulthood.

I'm curious where you've been reading this. I only see people say this stuff in jest, and only if you take it out of context could you think it was serious.

Being a lesbian, I don't have to worry so much about having a partner who refuses to wash their ass or do chores because "that's gay," but that doesn't eliminate homophobia or catcalling or men thinking "I'm not interested, I have a girlfriend" means "I want to have a threesome with you and am playing hard to get, please continue to hit on me." Anyone who thinks about coming out knows that, even if being LGBT solves problem A, it creates problems B, C, and D.

But even if there is an epidemic of people thinking they're LGBT, what's the harm in that? Undergrad psychology students self-diagnose themselves all the time, and then they realize they're being stupid by the end of the semester. Trans people can't just write their own HRT prescriptions, the process is actually quite lengthy if you're a minor, and even for adults it can take awhile (and even then permanent effects take awhile, so if you realize you're not trans, it won't have lifelong consequences).

> gender dysphoria is socially infectious

It's not "socially infectious" like a disease, it's "socially infectious" in the sense of "oh wait, so these feelings I've been dealing with have a name, and I don't have to keep being miserable?" LGBT people tend to find each other and become friends, even while they're all still in the closet, and one coming out tends to have a bit of a chain reaction. It's not a bad thing unless you view being LGBT as a bad thing.

Today’s Twitter is left wing biased and a vast purveyor of false information. Musk can’t make it any worse.
It is very on brand.

Musk has a flair for showmanship and a track record of converting memes into cash.

I think Elon Musk's Raodster[1] was the most amazing piece of cross-brand marketing in history. I couldn't even speculate how much it added to both Tesla and SpaceX valuations.

I suspect that if we could see what Google spends on hosting and other infrastructure we'd have a reasonable answer. Open source is not the same thing as "free to operate."

Algorithms that choose results and assign them relevance/priority have to work on the indexed data, so there's more to it that just swapping algorithms.
Prettier does support that, in the sense that you can achieve it using an official solution. https://prettier.io/docs/en/precommit.html

It's the Unix mentality of chaining things rather than building it in to the package.

Whatever work exists where a manager can control such things as "pace" and "performance level" it aint engineering.
> Independent of the media environment, the crowd autocorrelates and devolves into self-extinguishing mob rule.

True, but that was before we networked billions of people together with this thing called the Internet.

> The issue is that autocorrelation. People aligning for the sake of alignment and then torching perceived opponents. That last part rapidly degrades into tests of ideological purity at which point we're back to mob rule. Modern social media, including Twitter, thrives at facilitating this process (alignment, amplification, zealotry).

I agree, this is why privatization of Twitter is good. Less quarterly YoY growth MAU/DAU metrics, and more focus on improving society and moderation. Rage selling has gone too far, one of the negatives of rampant uncontrolled capitalism.
Indeed. It's bizarre to see him argue that Twitter censors news simply because it wants to avoid mobs, when the company has stood by and done nothing to stop actual Twitter mobs that have gotten innocent people fired for doing nothing (for a couple examples look at David Shor[1] or this random Chipotle manager[2]). And there are certain issues where Twitter has stated that you simply aren't allowed to take an opposing view or you'll be kicked off their platform. You might argue that their decision to take sides is a good thing, but I don't know how anyone can argue that it's nonexistent.

When I say I don't want my taxes going to send weapons to the Ukraine here, I am called an FSB stooge or what have you. Yet people pile in all day and talk about how it doesn't make sense to quickly switch to wind, solar, nuclear, hydro and other renewables, which in Europe and elsewhere means gas from Russia, and somehow no one raises the FSB flag. Maybe renewable supporters just don't have that idiotic knee-jerk reaction as much.

There is a claim in this article that says Elon Musk his Twitter account can't be banned by the SEC if he owns Twitter. The problem with that claim is that the law > Elon.
Intuit is the big name I've always heard thrown around when it comes to WebAuthn passwordless login: https://fidoalliance.org/the-right-mix-intuits-journey-with-... (which is what the discoverable credential enables).

That's in contrast to WebAuthn as a second factor (which is where the authenticator is another factor in addition to a password).

I agree with this guy. World climate policy can't follow the desires of a teenager-turned-adult who while having conviction, does not have expressed understanding beyond high school aspirational.

Yeah, I think it's high time to disassociate myself with the major social media sites. They aren't a force for good any more now the bean counters are monetising everything that they hold about you. Now if they paid us for the data we gift to them, that might be a different story altogether.
reverse chronological simply won't work as a default without some constraints. Otherwise the "optimal" strategy for folks trying to game the system would be to just post constantly. Those who post seldom would get very little distribution as they'd be drowned out.

Thank you for the link! They were all interesting, and yes, all the result of having a high scale. For anyone curious and thinking about watching the video (I recommend watching it), the topics were 1) should you immediately re-run a failed ad payment (getting paid vs transaction costs/flagged for repeated billing), 2) should you send an IM immediately after a login failure (cost of text message vs possibility user will give up and not reset password), 3) should you fetch data for pre-loading in a web page (higher engagement with page vs cost of unnecessary loading), 4) video upload quality, 5) taking screen real estate for less commonly used UI features.

Interesting examples, and yes, they're all the kind of thing that might not justify the effort for an ML model (and might not have enough data to train) for a small website or operation, but can easily justify the cost and effort when you have a huge number of transactions.

On another note, this is why I often like lightening talks. So many people think that what they're doing falls below the threshold for what is an interesting presentation, when in fact it's the most relevant thing a lot of people will see at a conference.
> Law of Conservation of Happiness: Once you're submerged, happiness can be neither created nor destroyed

This is an example of the weirdness you were referring to because this is something your crew came up with to cope. Every crew has it's own coping strategy and culture, which I learned when we combined Gold and Blue crew before heading into dry dock. The nukes on my Gold crew were almost universally nice and supportive of each other, save for laughing at the guy who had his girlfriend break up with him at 40 words per week.

edit: I was enlisted, not officer but nukes at least blurred a lot of those lines
As far as moderators go dang is amazing (and I say that as someone who's been banned by him.) I think Twitter is meant to be a very different kind of forum than HN though.
This probably matters much less than you think.

There's no standard or widely-used set of titles for tech jobs. A person may be called SWE III at one place and Senior Programmer at another. I think it's best to show the title and explain it if that seems necessary -- assume people reading the CV don't know what SWE III or PA-2 means. Explaining unclear or unusual titles also gives you a chance to get more searchable keywords into the CV -- just write "programmer" or "software developer" after the title.

If you did military service your title(s) almost certainly won't make sense to civilians, so you will have to translate them.

A company I worked for let me use XCommander as my title. Another had titles like "Deus ex Machina" and "Kernel Ninja." I wouldn't advertise a goofy title like that on a CV, I would translate it to something that better described the actual position.

In any case titles are not something people reading your CV are going to care a lot about because everyone with any experience in the industry already knows titles are mainly BS. When you've seen hundreds of people with two years experience calling themselves Senior Software Engineers and Chief Technology Officer (of their own company) on their CVs you figure out pretty fast to look past the wrapping paper.

Remember that a CV/résumé has one purpose: to get an interview. Never lie, but be sure to highlight and focus on the skills and experience the prospective employer wants to see. No one cares about your titles or objectives or personal desires, and no one needs to read an explanation for an inscrutable joke or jargon title. Make it clear, remember you have a few seconds to get on the short list or in the bin.

The presence of nuclear submarines is strategically important in case a war breaks out. They are there to make sure that anyone who fires a nuke knows that they can't get every silo that will launch a nuke back.

Attack submarines join the metagame because their job is to find/attack and defend the missile submarines.
Adding caching to Prettier is reasonably easy, and most people will already have it through lint-staged or something similar.

I'm much more impressed by "dprint is 3* faster than Prettier for the same task" than "dprint is 40* faster than Prettier because dprint caches results and Prettier doesn't". That makes me want to look at dprint. The "40* faster" figure makes it look like the benchmark is wrong.
