This explains a lot about the state of the industry and why so many good developers have a hard time finding a job. This article does everything except consider the possibility that maybe, management uses the wrong metrics to determine the usefulness of a candidate and that resumes are flawed to the extent that you can't describe a humans experience on one side of one sheet of paper.

Eternal September rolls onward.

People love to ponder how to improve social networking, and what the best model might be. The truth is that the best forum is simply the new one that the masses haven't caught onto yet.
If you completely ignore the context of a global financial crisis in 2008 and pandemic in 2020, I suppose you might think austerity has been unsuccessful.

I'm not sure you can call what's going on on Twitter any of these words, at least on any even slightly polarizing topics.
Twelve year olds would have much hotter memes. Musk’s are straight up boomer-class, it’s just rare you see billionaires fielding any memes at all.
Maybe this is a failure of imagination on my part, but won't most people be using ORMs? Again, talking about the use case of the average application that's light enough to get away with SQLite, it doesn't seem like you would need to be hand writing queries.

I think he's an obnoxious twerp overall, but his lack of respect for conventional mores in his twitter game is not one of his problems, in my opinion
This is one of the most interesting aspects of our modern economy. We have rockets that go to space. We have nuclear weapons. We have automated industrial facilities. We have advanced healthcare. We have the internet and computers.
We have basically everything, except the basics.

The reason for that is the same and will stay the same, for the entirety of humanity. Land is a finite resource that must be shared with other humans. Money is a public utility that must be shared with other humans. Humans don't like sharing these exclusive types of things.

You have these people complaining that India should "fix poverty" instead of doing a miniscule (by international standards) space program. The solution to homelessness requires existing landowners to give up their land. They don't want to give up their land, so instead, homelessness acts as the pressure relief valve/externality. In fact, homelessness is considered a price worth paying.

The same is true with money. People like having more money than they actually need. The ability to save against the wishes of other people and thereby indebt them is exactly what they want, the resulting unemployment is considered a price worth paying.
In your example about right to build whatever you want on your property, that restriction is limited to a property, not a person. So saying "this property is zoned for a building of X stories" is different than "if you're a 'public figure' your property is zoned for building X stories, otherwise its zoned for Y stories"

Do you think we should broadcast the location and movement of sitting judges and politicians? They're certainly "public figures"
because community is defined by people not content. A person who posts overtly racist content probably also posts about visiting Disney with their kid, or how much they love Spider-Man. You can’t filter out certain aspects of a persons personality within a community. Either you want to share a space with people, or you don’t, you can’t share a space with people without knowing they’re there.
This is a straw-man argument. Everybody knows there is an issue with a deluge of spam, obnoxious, content etc. The issue is trust/control. Whom do you trust to have control over who sees what content? A public platform should be beyond reproach in terms of its political bias, which is not the case for Twitter. A way to get closer to that would be to devolve the control over content moderation as close to each user as possible.
I'd be surprised if there's anyone here who thinks he'll succeed
It can be both. I’ve known people who were driven to divorce by poverty related issues (“my husband is terrible with money and works at McDonalds”), but couldn’t divorce right away because they couldn’t afford it.

"hate speech isn't even illegal. "

Well, in US there are certainly attempts to make it so. There is definitely framework in place and there is the mores. The time seems ripe too given how people seem afraid of what people might say if you let them.

There are definitely hate speech laws in other countries.

For the record, I am sympathetic to your stance, but I am not sure it is accurate.
And what do you base that off of?

He seems to do quite well once he puts his focus on a problem, even if that's due to the people he ultimately decides to hire/fire.
I agree, and not because Elon's not a smart dude.

I think it was Jason Calacanis who suggested charging people for the ability to write essays on the platform. I'm not convinced some of these people even understand what Twitter is.
This is wholly unimaginative, there is a wide window of usage patterns that are not "unused or misused", for example, on by default but off with a project flag, or off when building a dev release but on when building a prod release, and also don't forget my point that many projects simply don't need the level of memory safety that rust provides. For example if you are single threaded and never free, or if you have an arena strategy.
40W is way high. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-15-7590-OLED-Power-Co... shows 20w for max brightness on a laptop OLED monitor (or 6W at minimum brightness). For 13 inch laptops, it's around 25% lower (less area). Also, laptop CPUs can pretty easily use 30W (i7-1185G7 is an ultrabook class CPU and can be configured up to 28W).

Edit: was your 40W for total power consumption? If so, then going from 20W cpu to 10W cpu is still a 25% energy consumption reduction (as well as a cooler lap and better battery life).

The spinach example is so bad it's either such gross misunderstanding as to disqualify that interviewer from any future interviews, or it's an example deliberately designed to conflate issues.

The whole difficult part of 'hate speech' is that it often is highly offensive and nasty, but what people find highly offensive and nasty differs (e.g. an atheist stating there is no god is deeply hateful and offensive to many people, or being pro-abortion). Ugh. I can't even.
Surely, spam bots aren't illegal, are they?

At this point, he sounds like a politician making conflicting promises that he can't possibly keep... And also like a politician, he probably has his own interests in mind ahead of your average Twitter user's.
It's disappointing to see such a stupid article presented by Cornell. There is nothing about live music that would make it remotely comparable to Uber, which itself loses money and is not a business model worth replicating.

Uber is an intermediary gig application for a commodity service. Live music is a custom, creative product created by individuals for individuals. One live music performance cannot be swapped with another with the same results, unlike car rides.

This desire to "gig economy" everything is a bad road to go down. It isn't even workable for Uber, much less for musicians. Uber and live music do have one thing in common which is they are highly local. You and the provider must be in the same physical area for the service to happen. This naturally limits how far any one provider can expand. 'Cause geography, that's why. Uber cannot overcome this with an "app" as there is no app that magically moves taxis or service depots around. Likewise, there is no intermediary service that magically moves bands around and pays their living expenses without incurring all the normal costs.

This should be obvious and not require academic investigation.

I don’t believe Musk intends to require people to be publicly identified.

I don’t believe I follow anyone anonymous on Twitter.
Ohh right, thank you!
> don’t think that’s the worst case

I have a tough time imagining the other worst case not prompting regulation.

Maybe it overthrows our political system! I don’t know, there are certainly some politicians who command from Twitter and will be hurt or helped by Musk. (Probably, invariably, helped.) But that seems less likely than Congress creating a rule book and regulator for social media.
True, but just because I'm typing this on a machine made in Chinese sweatshops doesn't mean that I have to spend my days actively making their government more money. We can solve problems a little bit at a time even if bigger problems exist elsewhere, after all.
I have the same experience, I don't dive into trending "drama" I follow people I find funny, companies/athletes/celebrities that I am interested in, etc. I prune who I follow probably about twice a year to cut back on people I maybe followed because I saw one funny thing.

If someone trolls me in a reply, I ignore them and move on. Having the last word means nothing on the internet.
This is interesting, I have the same experience as you and have never even heard of this inner voice people have before opening the Reddit link.

Rural areas also tend not to be great places for LGBT people, either.

That may be true in some areas. I can only speak anecdotally. I brought a couple members of the LGBT community with me to a very rural area that is about as cowboy-midwest as it gets. Everyone has been very civil and even the "Good ol boys" have been very respectful with them to my pleasant surprise. There are plenty of openly LGBT working in the local stores.

All of that said I have advised them against hanging out in the local bars after listening to the scanner a bit. There are a few regular angry drunks. Perhaps I am too overly cautious.

Not at all. The previous pop-up gave you the opportunity to switch off every item individually. What do you think would happen if new items were added?

The new button sets a new default that affects new options for data collection. And yes, adding one new field that affects user configuration across all Google properties (or even two major Google properties, such as the main site and YouTube) is a one-quarter project. Privacy review, legal review, data storage assessment to make sure an additional Boolean isn't going to blow a limit somewhere, thinking through all permutations of options users could already have set to make sure that this new feature doesn't break existing user configurations... Hell, they probably had to do analysis to make sure that you couldn't uniquely identify users based on the setting because of how many / how few people would click reject all. And did they roll it out everywhere or just in europe? Europe only requires additional work.

It's a big corporation, extrapolating how it works from small corporations leads to inaccurate conclusions.
There's more stuff worth breaking today in JS than there was twenty years ago in PHP, and more people that know how to do it.
It just never caught on outside the US like Facebook/Instagram did.

From my small Eastern European country - no one I know uses Twitter, Reddit is more popular than it. That’s anecdotal, of course.
It's a question of scale. In the old internet, I subscribed to a few news groups that got tens to hundreds of posts a day. You could easily plonk the few people you didn't like.

It's also bullshit. In the old days people used to file complaints with your ISP or uni or get you removed from distribution on the server. But usually newcomers were brought in line by the community. Now, we have eternal September and it's simply not feasible to educate the hundreds of millions of people who don't know how to behave.
>> I'm seeing loads of comments about how toxic Twitter is, but isn't that on you? Don't follow or engage and the algorithm will skip you over.

Its like white people telling brown people that airport security isnt a toxic place and its all in their mind. Things are toxic...just not for everyone. Try being colored or not part of the in-crowd on Twitter and you get to see how toxic it is.

The point of twitter isnt just to read, but also to engage. But engagement is hard when tiki-toting nationalists are sending death threads to anyone that doesnt want to turn the world into prison.

Even technical (non political) conversations get all sorts of hate flung at PoC accounts.
He has 83M followers, mainly because of his memes. He isn't interested in your super hot memes that only 5 people in the world understand.
I wish this had the option of inverting the luminosity / value without affecting the hue.
Aside from the 15minutes when it was just developers and tech dorks, was it ever non-toxic? I love how “free speech” comes up when these assholes limit what you can say to a tiny few bytes, it’s fundamentally limited to name calling, slogans, sound bites and head lines rather than actual real discourse and content.

that's an optimistic take, as much as I dislike Musk it would be nice if he managed to make Twitter a better experience for the average user. given that social media is more of a people problem than a engineering problem, I'm not as hopeful
> Elon is already rather uninvolved with tesla because of the fight with the SEC.

I think this is hilarious.

"I can't run my company because a lawyer is meant to review my tweets so that I don't commit securities violations".

"I can't be involved with my company because the SEC is investigating my brother and I for insider trading".

This is horseshit. If this is the case, and I doubt it, it's entirely because he is trying to martyr himself, not because of any actuality of the "fight with the SEC". The SEC doesn't give two shits about the efficiency of his production lines, his plans to open a new battery production facility, or whatever. Let's stop the narrative that the evil bad SEC is stopping Musk from innovating to move humanity forward.
The batch style tools, where you launch it with stdin input, and get back results to stdout I still think are the majority of operations an IDE want to run.

It's when you have a tool that has ongoing async communication which enables the editing the author mentions that LSP is really useful. Implementing a goofy protocol for each tool is a pain.
From watching the Asahi IRC over time this sounds right, 6 clusters total. Like you say I wouldn't be surprised if macOS lumps them together from a scheduling perspective to keep low performance scheduling (where going across the interconnect doesn't matter as much anyways) simpler.
I maintain an 'older' codebase (2012) and am rebuilding it to a new version, but both use SQLite. It's a configuration management web application installed onto either bare metal or virtual machines. Generally only a handful of simultaneous users; I want to say performance isn't much of an issue or concern, but I've had to fix a bug that was caused by too many writes to the database where the system ran into IOPS limits (traditional hard drives or constrained VMs at 100 IOPS).

There is a hacky solution for redundancy; at certain events, a copy of the .db file is made and rsynced to a secondary node. This will probably fall apart if the file ever goes above a few MB in size.

Pros / reasons to use it: Self-contained, just a single file to transfer, no drivers needed, no servers running other than my own application.

Cons: No good support for ALTER TABLE queries, so things like changing the name, datatype, or default value of a column isn't happening. The workaround is to create a new table and transfer rows over, then drop the old table and rename the new table. Also the aforementioned issue if you want redundancy.

So basically, if redundancy isn't a requirement for you, sqlite is fine. It's probably ideal for single user applications, like your browser or apps (iirc sqlite is used a lot for those purposes).
> The only way to stop them is to discourage them from getting in the boats in the first place.

Which does not work because to quite a lot of people drowning in the Channel is preferable to what they fled back home if there is the tiniest of chances that they can actually make it to a place where they or their children can actually make a living. This line of reasoning is like "let's use harder punishments to dissuade the others". It never worked that way, and still does not now.

> The point of the Rwanda scheme is to make getting in the boat an undesirable option, because you'll just end up somewhere you don't want to be.

That's not the calculation they make. Their issue is being shot at, disappeared, bombed, or tortured if they stay. Most of the time their risk analysis does not go beyond leaving the country and you see quite a lot of them drifting from country to country once they are in Europe. The ones who show up at Calais are those who come from former regions of influence of the British Empire. No amount of dissuasion is going to change that.

> The hope is that few people will have to be sent to Rwanda because they'll stop paying people smugglers to make the trip.

It won't work and they won't stop. Again, these people take risks assuming that they have a chance of not being caught or to actually get granted asylum once they arrive (fat chance; most of them don't have a very accurate image of the UK). How is the British government paying to export them to Africa going to change anything in this calculation? Could the UK actually pay to deport all these asylum seekers? Could Rwanda actually welcome them in anything that looks like decent conditions? The most likely answers are "no" and "no", and the examples of Australia's refugees camps out in the Pacific are really not encouraging.
"His Twitter feed is very, very easy to ignore."

So I should just ignore as irrelevant the Twitter feed of the person who is currently attempting to buy Twitter? I'm sorry, but that's just doesn't make sense to me.
The "guy tracking Elon's private jet" isn't tracking Elon's jet. He's posting links to adsbexchange. Posts like this: https://twitter.com/ElonJet/status/1515530730742427652

(Elon got a new transponder ID to hid from "me") are ridiculously self important, and a complete misrepresentation of what he is doing.
One other reason sqlite is great is the reduced latency. When you can satisfy queries in microseconds vs milliseconds, there is a fundamental shift in certain things you might try or not try.

We've been using this stuff in production for over half a decade now. Multi-user, heavily-concurrent systems too. The biggest cost savings so far has been the lack of having to screw with a separate database server per customer install (we do B2B software).
I doubt you'll find many people on this thread concerned with the carbon footprint of flying friend. What do you mean by health costs? Mental stress, financial costs, opportunity costs, high blood pressure, potential respiratory illness?
Relax, broad social discourse has never been particularly nuanced or long-form, and has always been partially driven by catch phrases, headlines, and incisive, memorable quotes.

Take a look at the Consider SQLite post I linked. They address your performance questions too.

For me, SQLite was a nice way to simplify launching and running my SaaS business and has had no downsides.
Being from Africa and now living in the first world, my experiences align with what native_samples is saying. We had colonialism and then most countries in Africa had governments with understandably anti-Western ideas - for decades.

Even today a very serious issue holding back progress there is thousands of little regulations that are designed to lead to bribes.

If Africa’s national borders and governments could be redrawn from scratch, it would organize itself into a much happier, richer place.
Whoever you are, whatever your politics and positions are, you have to admit and appreciate the humor in the saying: “it’s a private company, they can do what they want”.

I’m still much more concerned with the on-demand Ludovico Technique / aversion therapy device TikTok is using on kids.

The market place of ideas that fit within a tweet, which is a pretty limited set of ideas. Most of the ideas Elon has don't fit into a tweet, almost nothing of value does.
