>and you have a broad swath of cultures which views out-of-line with woke Twitter employees.

I hope you realize they're also out of line with Elon's eclectic libertarianism, and that those cultures not only disagree with woke employees but also with his 'free speech absolutism' and I hope Elon recognizes this because I have no interest in having American 'free speech' imported.
> … a technique called "subtyping" is used, where struct B, who's first member is a struct A, is cast as that struct A to properly conform to an interface. It's supposedly common in C (that's what I was told in #hare, anyway), though this is the first time I'm encountering it.

How much C have you looked at if you’ve never seen that pattern (or ‘story’, not up on the lingo)?

Is there another way to do this I’m not aware of because it’s so common I thought it was just common.

—edit—

Thinking about this for a minute there’s another ‘story’ where you use the least significant bit(s) as a tag and use that to differentiate between object types but that is definitely not too common, this hextree library I found somewhere uses it to tell a leaf from a branch and I’m really tempted to just replace it with the previously mentioned ‘subtyping’.

Refactoring doesn’t just mean optimizing the inside of an implementation.

With a monorepo and good test coverage, I can improve the signature of a function on some library, and use a full-featured IDE to confidently update the usage myself without making it a 10-ticket task that spans 12 teams and 18 meetings.

So to be clear, you believe the Twitter should be unbiased towards terrorist videos, Child abuse, etc?

Or is it just the white supremacy, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia that you want back?

This is a very simple question. You either want unbiased or you are saying that the stuff that “wokeness” limited is good, and should be given a large platform.

Yes or no? This is a very simple binary question
Personally I don't see the value in deleting accounts. I just don't use a service if I don't want to. I have not used Facebook for many many many years. It doesn't matter if my account is active or not. Why do I care? If my account is alive, they have to let it take up some of their storage, sucks for them.

Twitter has been my main source of news. For the news I care about it has been more reliable than main stream media. But I do understand why some people want to stopping using it.

Google is really hard because of YouTube, which is my main source of passive entertainment.

Venmo is surprising to me---how do people use Venmo? Are they using it as social network somehow? I just open it when I need to pay someone, and close it when I finish, like using a wallet. Why are people bothered by it?
Ok, good for you?

You're not really making a good effort in making your views understood here, so lets just leave it at that.
Temperature and injuries aside, a dewar of LN spilled in a room temperature enclosed space will boil and evaporate into an asphyxiating cloud very, very quickly. A box of dry ice dumped on the floor will take quite a bit longer to sublimate enough, partly because the phase change temperature is much higher, and also because thermal contact between a very low viscosity liquid and surfaces is very much higher than a solid pellet sitting on the surface.

Nitrogen will also kill you silently, while you will definitely know when CO2 levels are getting high (because it really really hurts).

Tricks for dealing with “reviewer’s block”, for the beginner engineer
My take is that there was a radical loss of confidence in humanity's ability to think reasonably, honestly, or independently.

Conventional wisdom today seems to be that most people are mindless meme relay bots that simply believe and propagate whatever they read if it's presented in the right way or pushes the right emotional buttons. Sure there are some people you might describe that way, but is it really most people?

Personally I've been on the fence for a long time. I am not ready to throw in the towel on the idea of a global radically open conversation, but I have certainly had my faith in humanity shaken profoundly by things like Qanon. A disturbingly large number of people are frighteningly gullible. Are there people who simply can't mentally handle unfiltered information?

> I think it's a huge improvement that a free speech advocate will be in charge at least

Musk tried to have an employee whistleblower murdered by the police by falsely accusing him of being a mass shooter and having him SWAT'd[1]. That is not something a "free speech advocate" would do if they were sincere about advocating for free speech.

How to fix online harassment. No, seriously
This is a perspective that is bandied about quite a bit, but I don't think it's exactly true (or at least not true to the extent presumed). Personally, I've only heard it come from people who have little actual military experience.

Leadership capital is a perishable resource in the military. Junior troops are not dumb and if you treat them like crap and just use the justification that they signed the contract, you won't be a very effective leader. If I leader has to use that type of tactic (or use their rank, or whatever), it's an indicator they've messed up somewhere along the way. The power dynamic isn't as cut-and-dry as most outside the military think. It's not unheard of for junior troops to get a bad leader fired, and in the absolute worst cases junior troops can put a poor leader's lives in danger. The idea that good military leaders would tell their subordinates to pound sand because they signed a contract is more of a trope than reality.

There's a surprising amount of times when the incentives align for a military subordinate to NOT listen to orders and leaders have to actually rely on the social capital they've accumulated by building trusting relationships with their subordinates.

That amplification is the choice of the users (or should be, obviously Twitter likes to try and shape this). It's like me calling you and you liking what I have to say and then calling all your friends to tell them, modern tech makes that easier. Robocalling is more akin to running a script to spam users via a bot, wouldn't you say?

The part of the analogy that holds, in my opinion, is the part where a monopoly concern can kick people off for the content of their speech. It wasn't right with telephone and it doesn't seem right with this but they are being treated differently. I'd say that's because speech is powerful so the logic goes that it must be curtailed, if you're against certain views.

I'm someone who's confident that truth will win the day given a fair hearing, hence, I want freedom of speech.
Does the green check mean the ban is or isn’t being applied?
Ah, but who decides the cut-off line between strong and weak?
From what I gather from the docs is that tailwind and atomic css is designed for you to colocate the styling in the html so you can avoid having to create a CSS version of a component along with an HTML version of a component.

For example, in CSS you could create a class for a card called “.card”, but this by itself does not create a card component as you may need card-title within it and card-wrapper on the outside, and various other styles that may seem like they are reusable subcomponents but are not. And it’s a misnomer because it may require a more complicated HTML structure and you cannot just create a div and apply a class “card” and get back the component.

Instead in a real app your component has an HTML structure, a css structure, and the reusable package you put it in may be the react component, and not style called “card” that you can use.

Tailwind advocates for making your components reusable on this framework level (whether vue or react), rather than at the CSS level. Because even if your make your CSS reusable you still have to recreate the HTML structure. And if you put your HTML in a reusable component and also have a set of reusable styles then you have a Card component concept and a Card style concept that becomes redundant.

To address your specific problem, if your code is unreadable due to inline tailwind styles then it’s a sign you should be breaking the HTML into reusable sub components instead.
That's not true in any way. I'm over 35, and I can clearly differentiate the sound quality & detail level between my Hi-Fi systems.

My favorite and bigger system has a sound signature so distinct, I can easily differentiate it from other systems with ease. Its sound also much more detailed than other systems, and have the capability to paralyze me in front of it while listening albums.

None of the systems I have are slouches in terms of sound reproduction capability, but human ears do not turn into muffled receivers the day you turn 30.

True, and he has also not passed a single law or regulation.

Rachel Maddow is also unelected, and likely has more influence than Musk does. Oprah also had tremendous influence, though she seems to have stepped away from the limelight recently.

Yes. The so called "fireball" of a nuclear explosion is the spherical region of space where everything is completely vaporized in miliseconds. It's between 500 m - 5 km diameter depending on yield.

What word should we use instead then?

I would wish Musk would just focus on Tesla and SpaceX and not throw himself in this snake pit. There is so much to do at Tesla (primarily cheaper EVs, FSD and 10X more super chargers). There is even more to do at SpaceX. Twitter is political issue and cannot be solved using tech or features. If one is not good at politics, they should stay out of it. We don't have replacement for Musk if he gets burned in this little adventure and there is a lot at stack for humanity.
Is there a large org where commitment/getting things done is more important/valued than social skills/network/luck? I.e. is there a fair model to measure an individual‘s contribution?
Nothing is different. This is not a hostile takeover
Yeah he will. I like Trump. I voted for him twice and would do it again but let’s face it the man likes to be in the limelight. When - not if — truth.social crashes and burns, he won’t be able to resist tweeting again.
The iterations happen way faster too. Look at Munro teardown of Tesla, he has never see a tenth of that rate of change ever.

Look at what SpaceX accomplished.
Look where OpenAI is given the time it’s been operating.
Look at Tesla rate of production increase.

It’s going to be very hard to compete with Tesla at this point. So much ressources, so much bright engineers, all the knowledge in manufacturing, all the training on vision, etc.
The article has a link to a video about Moley Robotic's $338,000 robotic kitchen. It's quite eye-opening, because the robot appears to be a pair of arms/hands which can grab mise-en-place containers of ingredients, dump them into a saucepan, and stir them painfully slowly. I wonder:

- who peels and chops the vegetables etc that go into those containers?

- who cleans up the pots and utensils when the robot is done stirring and heating the food?

Ideally there would be another $300,000 robot for each of those two tasks, but I suspect the answer is that your (human) housekeeper is needed.

The video is worth watching just to laugh at how unbelievably slowly this $338,000 marvel is at stirring the contents of a saucepan.

The elevator pitch for Moley could be "Juicero, but for pasta"
Regarding the first part, I don't disagree. However, that has nothing to do with gender or race. The question was whether gender/race education has been prioritized over math/science, and if so, did it result in worse math/science education.

What you described has been happening long before anyone cared about gender and race.

> Modern woke "education" on race/gender focuses exclusively on black/latino races and LGBT peoples.

Because those are the groups who have historically been most oppressed in North America. I'm sure students will have discussion at some point about Asians being discriminated against by Harvard, but it's clear that slavery and gay bashing has had a much worse effect on black and gay people than being rejected by Harvard has had on Asian people, and I say this as an Asian person.

There is a 0% chance that all moderation will be removed from Twitter. It would turn into a complete cesspool if that happened and alienate large segments of the user base. So the only question is how the moderation will differ from what they do now. It's easy to say it should be better, which I agree with generally, but it's an extremely hard problem to solve well.
I spent 30 seconds reading your message here and another 30 seconds in this response. You sound like a plain awful manager.

> This feels like a separation of concerns issue in which a module is being over used.

It's not always modules. Libraries and patterns and frameworks and so on, they will come and they will go. Sometimes you want to just change something across the whole codebase, and having complete type and test coverage over a codebase ensure that you can do so fearlessly.

> wouldn't you slowly roll out the version to the downstream projects

No need. The upside of doing so is that you generally prevent breakage, but at the cost of having to support multiple older versions of everything. In a monorepo, you can change your codebase from one language to another in a single commit, and everything should work just fine. (Speaking from experience.)
Also, the law was kind of an old remnant, so most legal scholars were sure the law would have been declared unconstitutional if challenged.
The font choices are a little odd.

There are a number I'm not familiar with or have maybe heard of in passing. But probably Georgia and Verdana in particular seem to be missing.

The delta between Helvetica and Arial also seems a little strange. Yes, there are a few type-nerd differences but AFAIK (feel free to correct) they're basically the same font.
Elon has classic tech/rich person “libertarianism”.

He has benefited his entire life by massive government support: his early money largely coming through growing up with access to what was essentially slave labour, to his modern successes in which he took massive amounts of money from the government, while also refusing to pay taxes. He demands law enforcement protect his interests, while intentionally and repeatedly ignoring the law himself.

That is his “libertarianism” is a return to his heritage: he should be a part of a privileged society, where the core cost of keeping the country running should be borne by people have as few rights and resources as possible. Anything he can do to create his childhood utopia he will do.
Absolutely agree. Ruby is a great and beautiful language, and Rails is imo the best web framework for getting things done.
Geolocation can be done without a subprocessor. It goes against the grain of outsourcing everything under the sun but all you need is a high-quality local database of IP address ranges.

And yeah, by all means, include that in your privacy policy.

I don't know details of the GDPR (as the don't apply to me) but a logged IP address belonging to the original requestor seems odd, do you also own the footprints you physically left behind on the ground as you walk around?

Well in Elon's ideal world the spam bots would be purged so they'd have no presence on block lists.

Ideally the blocked list would be viewable.

I think it's important if you believe Twitter is 'the town square', people should be able to see who and who isn't allowed to enter that town square to respond.
> how little you actually have to spend to get good sound.

Can confirm. My highest end system is using gold plated RCA cables bought with the system 30 years ago, simple Acoustic Research speaker cables (at the gauge my speaker manufacturer recommends), and all is connected with factory stock cables to a Philips surge protector.

It's an absolute delight to listen.
I expect Bootstrap will live on for a long time, but the era of it being either the trendy or obvious choice is over.

When Bootstrap debuted, its big strength was that it gave you a decent UI for little effort, at a time when the popular alternative was `vim styles.css`.

Needs and tools have shifted. Fewer projects get their UI from a programmer with no design sense. More projects need more widgets that aren't available off-the-shelf. Component-based web frameworks make it easier to build reusable widgets in-house.

(I think in didn't help that it took Bootstrap forever to stop depending on jQuery, and SPAs got popular and didn't need jQuery but did need to reduce page weight)
> And Florida recently rejected math textbooks claiming they push critical race theory.

It wasn't just a claim. One example shown was a math textbook that showed a graph saying that conservatives were more racist than liberals. I'm a staunch liberal but I found that to be pretty shocking. I would love to see more examples from the other textbooks, but for that particular textbook, I myself would have no qualms telling the published to change that graph to something less divisive.
Yeah the UI is confusing. I think green check means "you passed, this doesn't apply" and red x is "the restriction is applied"
I certainly don't blame you, I haven't logged in to Twitter in God knows how long, and for similar feelings, though mine was specifically against the censorship I was seeing that then amplifies a certain type of horseshit. I believe you'll either get truth and horseshit, or much less truth with some kinds of horseshit but horseshit all the same, so I go with equal opportunity horseshit.
'Free Speech' is a lie. Anyone that's lived through the early internet, or has moderated social media platforms of any size or shape understands that as an ideal it is unobtainable.

It's useful as a framework for governments to prevent jailing people for critique, to prevent throwing reporters into jail for dissident and so forth. But as a private platform it simply cannot work nor will it ever work. It falls apart at scale because as a platform you MUST make a decision as to whom you decide to support or not. Some users will inevitably harass or stalk or make the most vile comments to other users and will chase off people. If you do nothing, then the most toxic users of your platform will run the asylum.

This was true of Usenet. This was true of IRC channels, forums, Digg and many more smaller sites. Sites like Parler, Gab and so forth pride themselves on being 'Free Speech' platforms but prove the dynamic I mention above.

The reality check is that people should learn from the past, but I have a feeling the cycle of people thinking free-er speech will solve the problem will continue into infinity. And I have a feeling the people intent on believing that they're free speech absolutists will never be in a position to learn this lesson.
