The only good part of twitter is the pornography.
There is probably a decent case to be made for having an indirection layer above IP addresses, even if they are as meaningless and unmemorizable as a hash: for portability (IP addresses are tied to the host infra provider), load balancing, etc.
A handy-looking tool. In cloud infrastructure having a server side request forgery vulnerability can be fatal as it allows accessing the metadata service. Capital One was owned through one.

This tool allows turning vulnerable victim systems into a proxies which allows accessing systems in the internal network, including the metadata service.

Great R&D work!

Also on the right a bunch of governors / AG's were rumored to be planning to go after twitter to try and destroy it if they didn't accept Musks bid. If Elon had bailed and started a competing service (with some of his 40B) it's likely the stock would have dropped sharply.

That would have left the board in a very ugly spot, and politically in places like florida doubly so (destroying pension values / turning down a good offer for nothing etc etc)
I dunno, I think the future of interesting shell scripting languages can either be a.) the basis for a new distro, which will decide to use it for the system scripts, b.) be intended for use with containers in some manner and can simply be added as another dependency, or c.) be primarily intended to be used interactively in some unique way, so it'll just be installed by individuals.

There will always be a place for the universal shells and text editors. Bash and vim aren't going away any time soon. But there are plenty of places for non-default choices. Vim's existence doesn't mean Sublime doesn't have a place.

Ask HN: Is UI testing viable as a productized service?
This seems worth a try; some interesting design choices here!

Definitely put the shell scripting examples up front if you want to call it a shell scripting language. I had to click through ten pages before finding out how to execute a command.

I wonder how usable it would be as an interactive shell with some conveniences. For example, the prompt could pre-type a "{ }" for you and put the cursor between them, so you can immediately enter commands, or decide to backspace over the "{" if you want to write more complex expressions.
Well, they could, but they'd be lying about lying.

Are we looking at the same code? I'm not an OpenGL or Vulkan expert, but:

> ...rather than packing them into a PSO struct. Why?

* You can clearly read on the front page of the repository that this supports OpenGL 2 through 4.6. I think you're just not looking hard enough. He has Vulkan support in here with a clearly marked file named Pipeline.cpp. The guy knows what a pipeline is...

> ...rather than being provided as a UBO interface.

* Is this not a UBO interface?

> layout(std140) uniform material {
vec4 diffuse;
vec4 specular;
};

It's in his documentation for AbstractShaderProgram. He has explicit binding for stuff pre OpenGL 3.3 or whenever OpenGL added UBOs.

> ...appears like limited support for multiple framebuffers.

* I don't see why you think there's limited support for multiple framebuffers...? From his docs:

> @section GL-Framebuffer-usage-multiple-outputs Multiple fragment shader outputs

And then it goes on to explain how to use multiple framebuffer outputs for something like deferred rendering.

Moreover, his docs have snippets like this:

> @deprecated_gl Prefer to use @ref AbstractFramebuffer::clearDepth() @ref AbstractFramebuffer::clearDepthStencil() instead of @ref setClearDepth() and @ref AbstractFramebuffer::clear() as it leads to less state changes

Which clearly shows this guy knows what global state is and why it's bad.

I think you're making very broad assumptions based on a very cursory glance at this project. I've only looked at it for about 30 minutes and it looks like a well developed library by somebody who knows what they're doing.

I'm sure I could find code that counters the rest of your argument, but I don't feel like looking anymore. None of your criticism seem well intentioned. It might behoove you to give people the benefit of the doubt and realize that you may be able to learn something from them, even if they're so clearly inferior to you.

P.S. Don't start off a criticism by saying "how many sins do I count". I don't know your experience, but that's just such an incredibly pretentious statement that's begging to be countered by somebody way more knowledgeable than you about this stuff.

Well, we could look at history. For example, Internet Explorer’s former dominance.
Um, I'm afraid you might be the one getting flagged :)

Shareholder pressure, which was rumored to include governors and ag's in states with pension investments in twitter who don't like twitter, was out there.

They risked a decline of twitter's stock price if Elon withdrew his offer AND sold his (largish) block of shares AND announced a competing service with some of his billions.

Twitter has its HQ in SF, but that doesn't mean it can blow florida pension money because they don't like musk.

So yes, the board, taking into consideration shareholders and their duty there, may have been in a tough spot. It certainly doesn't seem like they got any increase in price.
And do you often feel unnecessarily aggressive towards internet strangers? I guess those who can't, preach. Much easier to judge others than work on yourself.
How does that work? This page (and the main linked page) seem to say no new links are able to be created:

Lol, too many at the same time. Staying sane must be difficult for him.
The problem with DANE is that it doesn't move us away from CAs, it just conflates the role of running a DNS zone with also being a CA. And even CAs may be problematic, the entities running DNS zones are often more so.

As everything you've written is in good faith and aspiring to contribute, I too am willing to respond in this cooperative manner to you.

Your changed metaphor is fine. However, the origin of the method to produce 35% was already faulty, so the increased accuracy by repeating this experiment 352 times does not help, since it is repeating a faulty experiment.

To make this intuitive, imagine having 1000 dice, each rolled only once. Now the highest roll will be 6 and the lowest roll will be 1, because you've rolled so many dice that you are sure to hit every number. Thus, the highest is 500% higher than the lowest. If we repeat this 352 times, the average over all participants will still be 500%. However, it is not an indication that we have biased dice.
This is totally false. The board owes a fiduciary duty to shareholders. It is almost certain that if they imploded the deal for political reasons that places like florida would have sued.

You really don't know how this works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EzC_1GvGE

There have been tons of cases about this, where boards ignore rights of shareholders or those with minority interests.
Oh, I read that thread. It is at best self-serving, and several of the tweets are simply false-to-fact.

Big Tech is extremely political, practically ruled by politics, and those politics - as of 2022 - are almost exclusively left-wing.

Twitter's response to everything they don't like is to construct a rule forbidding both sides to do anything that goes against Twitter's politics. Truth, public interest, and freedom of speech do not factor into the equation.

The reality is that blame shaming devs for not learning something isn't effective. No matter your personal beliefs, nobody is getting fired for not knowing the intricacies of sed or bash or awk. The only options are keeping archaic artifacts around and have the elders maintain it, or improve it for everyone. I have tremendous respect for our unix/posix legacy but at the same time they didn't get everything right. How could they?

That said, it's harder to build consensus today. Currently people are replacing shell scripts with all kinds of stuff, and that's not good either. We need something good enough and ubiquitous, imo.
I was surprised by that too, along with the low standing of Avenir. Those are the most beautiful sans serifs.

P.S. I don't think screen resolution is high enough yet to do justice to a Didone.
I don't understand how? Surely estimating someone's bone structure does not need a 3D model.

Even better, if you reviewed a song, and the price went up, you received the difference as store credits. So reviewing a song early could potentially net you some credit if it became popular. That was one of the most interesting features I've seen in a music store.
No, not really. Having some extreme ideas about what should be done in the future has nothing to do with holding such ideas as pizzagate, stolen election etc.

This is a great paper, but I found it to be very challenging to read when I first ran into it, even though I had some experience programming in Haskell. As a one sentence pitch, this paper is to recursion what if and while are to goto. For a more detailed intro to the concepts see: https://blog.sumtypeofway.com/posts/introduction-to-recursio... If you are comfortable with Haskell, it should be relatively accessible. If you aren’t, but want a bit more flavor than my one sentence, the intro section in that blog post is still worth a read.
If you go to Reddit with the default subreddits, the experience is the same. Nothing but noise.

This is exactly why I think Apples stuff is NOT pro level - the end user items are high quality but the ecosystem surrounding their tools is not. Managing a fleet of MacOS laptops doesn't have a direct product from Apple to do so in an enterprise environment and they do not have back end server versions of their "pro" software to integrate with.

That’s a bit over the top as you did have a hand in choosing to do that and not to fix linters / ignore those self-inflicted problems, instead opting to use a URL shortener and eventually get burned like everyone else who has ever done this.

Ummm. I think Elon had the leverage I'm afraid.

He had DeSantis in florida threatening twitter as well.

Twitter didn't get him to budge on price (unusual actually in these deals).

Elon had other options other than being a "good actor". He did a take it or leave it deal. They took it, through gritted teeth it sounds like. I don't think the negotiations were "friendly".

I don’t believe it is as easy as that. What happens when your program have accumulated plenty of long-living objects? Your case probably works due to having only objects with short lifetimes - but your GC’s pause time will generally grow with the heap size. Not even generational GCs solve that in the general case.

Java’s low-latency GC, ZGC moves almost the whole work to parallel threads by accepting the trade-off of slightly slower barriers. But in reward it can decouple the pause time’s length from the heap size which is the key here.

Dang dude - you figured it out!
The dependencies in your Dockerfile is as opaque as you wish. I've seen a lot of public available images built "FROM base" or similar, hidden somewhere in their maybe public CI. There is nothing in Dockerfile that actually shows your dependencies.

The same with logfiles. Some images contains everything, and the instructions is to have volumes for their poorly written applications log output. Just because Docker-the-application does stdout doesn't mean that the processes running in a container does stdout.

For security updates you need to be sure that the maintainer of the image is not only looking for updates to the application, but also all explicit and transient dependencies. In a classic setup with a package manager and explict dependencies those are the responsibility of other teams/individuals.

That said, Docker with friends has very much changed the landscape for the better, and I would have a hard time going back to maintaining least denominator java versions, python virtualenvs and tracking down incompatible shared libraries.

> The shareholder's control over Twitter is not as direct as you are suggesting. Even if 100% of shareholders were supportive of Elon's deal, they could not immediately force the board to accept the offer.

Yes they could. If literally 100% of the shareholders opposed the board, the board would lose indemnification from shareholder lawsuits for any actions it took, up to the difference in value between the tanking share price and Musk's offer. No effing way they would stay obstinately opposed in that case.
I think it's also a result of car ownership. It wasn't until the 1980s that multi-car households started being really ubiquitous.

I imagine people slowly started driving their kids to school because they could, which led to other people driving their kids to school because walking/biking was unsafe due to all cars on the road.

My childhood in the 90s kinda sucked by comparison because I was in small neighborhood with no kids my age locked in by a busy road that was too unsafe for me too cross on my own.

> During a hostile takeover, someone buys 51% of the shares. They then elect a board of people who will approve whatever they want.

This is confusing. During the TWTR discussions, one that regularly came out is the importance of a board's fiduciary duty. Buying 51% doesn't let you take the company private, and merging at 50% of the price seems like a monumentally indefensible decision, especially when it is with the 51% holders company. I find it hard to believe you can get away with that.

Why are you getting down voted? I'm serious, it's weird. A lot of views here that board can do anything it wants, can destroy shareholder value through poison pills for political reasons etc. No.

There were actually threats by pension funds in right wing states to come after twitter if they didn't do the deal and imploded it for political reasons.

The downside to the stock from a) loss of offer, b) sale of musk shares and c) launch of a competing service by musk might have been pretty significant.

The board was in a tough spot. Doesn't look like they were able to negotiate a larger price.
