It is usable for me only with expression search NG (https://github.com/opto/expression-search-NG). TB is my daily driver but with every update I fear that they will destroy sth again: expression search failed to work for over a year due to their breaking changes. Switched to another extension until that one stopped working. Now back on expression search as opto has ported it.
Thanks! We’d still consider this an early stage project and would love your feedback for which features to prioritize. Our roadmap is only getting longer…
> reports on “tweets,”

It's no different than reporting on anything else that someone says in a public forum.

Since there are real consequences for what you say in a public forum, it is understandable that there is an appeals process.
Oh thank u web locks are a thing then.
Well in all seriousness there are many valid uses for web workers, e.g. For offline processing of localstorage
Sometimes you have to highlight that specific people were wrong before, particularly in a power imbalance.

Unfortunately, most organizations don’t do distributed meritocratic decision making. The hierarchical structure is often a key component of the failure lattice, and it’s attributes and effects need to be confronted directly.
Yes, that's exactly right, it's to keep the engine in the powerband. Automatic transmissions take both engine speed and throttle position into account when selecting a gear. More throttle while braking pushes the transmission to downshift more aggressively.

I'm assuming when the account is restored, the offending tweet will be gone, but I'd be interested to know if it was tweeted by an app that was authorized via OAuth (which one could see from the "source" attribute of the tweet).

That seems like the most likely scenario to my brain given that the author asserts there is no way their password was compromised (which I can believe).
It seems a little uncharitable to say that I'm bending things to be uncharitable when you look at what was said (or not said).

If you wanted to talk about how wasteful our food production is, then why not say that and actually talk about that. Talking about land use that produces animal products and then calling it wasteful is a stretch when many people use those products, including n-order products like organic fertilizers or white sugar. It's not wasteful to fulfill the wants of the people. It could be inefficient or excessive, but those aren't the same as actual waste.

If not applying the ecofacsist comment to my comment, then what? It seems completely irrelevant if you weren't using against my comment.

If anything, it seems you were strawmaning since you never did address the preferences nor sustainably portions that were key to my statement.
Perhaps I should have elaborated more.

By "something" I meant everyone has /something/ wrong with them to some degree i.e. no one is perfect and there is no such thing as normal. That 'something' could be mental or physical. If a person does not have something wrong at the moment, then time will eventually catch up.

Not to mention there are people that can have conditions to sub-clinical levels. One could technically have some of the criteria of a mental disorder without fully qualifying for a diagnosis. That doesn't mean they live life on easy mode just because they do not carry a diagnosis. Sure, they might have a /easier/ time in life, but I have never been one to think of suffering as some competition amongst others.
Good point, that's actually what I meant.

I want to like Dreamweaver but on a desktop replacement laptop it takes several seconds for characters to appear when I type.

Selection, where the cursor ends up when I click on something and where the cursor goes when I hit the arrow keys are all erratic enough to make me wonder if my computer is possessed by the devil.

I've submitted so many tickets to Adobe about strange problems with Dreamweaver that it's a wonder I haven't been hellbanned from their issue tracker.
I do all my work with Syncthing in send-only folders, one per machine. Which means that if I make changes across machines then I always get duplicates, but the redundancy feels natural - it's only concerning if the data size becomes absolutely huge.
How would less wastage help at all? It would just translate to less production and everything would continue with the same risks as always, wouldn't it?

I don't have any food growing in my garden even though I could. Is that food waste? What if I plant some vegies and forget to eat them and they die and rot. Is that food waste? I don't see that food waste itself is a real problem, just an illusion because it's so visible.

Surely we all waste electricity by having hot showers instead of cold, or leaving our computers on when we're not using them. We can afford it, so why not? Even those poor people are wasting oxygen in the air! Imagine how scarce that is in space or a submarine.
> I'm confused - was OP's account compromised, or not?

I do not know. The tweet certainly looks like it was made by my account, but definitely not from this computer and definitely not using my password. I'm pretty precise about stuff like that and Twitter would be the least of my problems if my passwords were hacked. For now I am assuming either someone social engineered Twitter to change my password or a compromise of Twitter of some sort.

> but he doesn't seem very fussed about how it happened or keeping it from happening again

Lack of information... of course I'm 'fussed' but I just don't know. All I know is that as far as I can see my setup here is still secure and was not a factor in this.

> just annoyed that Twitter's response to it isn't faster.

No, mostly annoyed that Twitter would not detect a fairly obvious Joe-Job.

> Is it this commonplace for twitter accounts to be taken over?

Good question, I don't know.

> Also, is saying things like "Go die" an insta-ban on twitter?

Apparently, but even then: I didn't say that...

If somebody had that kind of an exploit of Twitter, is it really plausible they'd use it for such an inconsequential tweet and on your account? Seems like there would be far juicier targets.

FWIW, the author is very prolific and sane on hackernews(at least as far as I've noticed), so the post could be considered more trustworthy than a random post by somebody who has never participated here before.
I utilize a mixed methodology: TODO-X, where X is a subcategory describing what kind of TODO it is. For example:

TODO-BUG
TODO-OPTIMIZE
TODO-FEATURE
Yeah I really don't see an issue with C# building a virtual thread system if the paradigm really shifts that way. Its aggressively pragmatic in that way.

In theory, such a system could be implemented on C# with the same sort of gotchas as Java virtual threads. I don't think there's a fundamental design conflict.
Yes – and it's something you'll never get anywhere else. The artist behind it is passionate and thoughtful about this precise style.

I often use the 80/20 rule to push back against requirements from product managers.

Identify the features that are hard to implement and provide little business value then cut them out. For the things that are important, I see if there are any adjustments to the requirements to make it simpler.

It usually an easy sell because it results in getting out the product faster. We can always do the nice to have stuff as a follow up, but more than half the time, they realize they never needed it.

If done strategically, it can prevent adding tech debt in the system.

My pet theory is that the 'no plastic straw' movement was started by someone as a sick joke to see how far people would take a silly idea to feel like they are helping save the environment.
> Can you create an interface that can be implemented by both suspending and synchronous functions?
I don't remember.

I do know you can at least specify suspend in an interface method to enforce its implementers to be suspending too.
Note that this is e.g impossible in typescript..
Thanks! Your examples are super helpful.
With the full context of the letter, no not at all, unless you think that Documents are the ultimate work product of DEI and not like improvements in diversity, equity, and inclusion in the company.

It's very clearly a call to stop focusing on ineffective things and to focus on more effective methods.

Treatment for non-obvious disease is awful and slow. I feel mysteriously ill with severe breathing problems two years ago that was not COVID related and my doctors all scratched their heads. My last one just eventually shrugged and told me to live with it.

It's not that easy,

Trash goes into what is called, waste transfer stations, see [1], where there's an effort to salvage recyclables from regular trash as well, what you do with the black/blue bins is basically helping them do their work (and this is good).

Let's say then, that all this plastic goes into the "plastic that could be recycled" bin, of which we actually DO recycle 3.1 million tons of it (as stated in the article) out of 35.7 million tons (total).

But then it goes to say "We used to send half of this to China until they banned it [...]", and it is not clear either this is half of the recycled chunk, or the total amount of plastic that gets thrown away. It wouldn't make sense for it to be the recycled chunk, as ... we are recycling it, right? But then, it could, maybe, as it could be sent to those countries for "recycling" and they then "improperly dump it" (as also stated in the article).

TalkJS (https://talkjs.com) | REMOTE (Europe / Middle East / Africa)

TalkJS is a Chat API that lets developers build a perfect chat feature in just a few hours. We power communication in online marketplaces, community sites, trading platforms and so on. We're product driven and we care tremendously about quality.

We're headquartered in the Netherlands and our team is spread across the Central European Timezone +/- 3h.

Currently in the market for:

* Senior Frontend Developer
* Senior Fullstack Developer
* Senior Backend Developer
* Senior Web/Product Designer (web/ui/ux)
* DevRel Engineer

Our stack is mainly React, TypeScript, Elixir and PostgreSQL. Nearly the whole company is product people, founders are a designer and a programmer.

TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. We want to be the tool that every developer thinks of for building communication features, a bit like what Stripe is for payments.

To accomplish this, we give great engineers the maximum amount of freedom to ship fantastic SDKs, APIs and features. This means a healthy work/life balance, no meetings, no red tape and a lot of responsibility. Sound good?

The other very special things are battery life and durability. It's going to be very hard to get a phone to both work screen-on for 12+ hours (or even 5-6) running the GPS on high res mode, readable in direct bright sunlight, and robust enough to be fine during most bike (and mountain bike) crashes. They also generally offer either a touchscreen that works properly with gloves on and when wet, or has physical buttons for all the functions.

Quality bike computers are specifically designed to fill a niche that smartphones just can't do, which is why the market still exists.

Strava, et al, work fine for a lot of uses, but as one gets into more serious riding a dedicated bike computer is the way to go. This is because of the hardware, not due to a lack of app to be run on a general purpose mobile.

> How is Twitter supposed to know that the Tweet was made by the OP or was a compromised Tweet?

For starters: it would be interesting to see what IP address the tweet was made from, whether or not it was preceded by a password change or contact with Twitter support to turn the account over to someone else.

> When something is egregious what should Twitter do if it doesn't have resources to investigate whether the tweet was "intentional" or not, if action must happen quickly to avoid problems?

Good question. That makes me wonder if they are able to operate safely at scale at all.

> And isn't a claim of "wasn't me" an easy claim whether or not it's true?

Yes. And yet: it wasn't me.

> He says "What really pisses me off is that this is fairly obviously not my fault " But I can't find out where it is so obvious. Obvious to whom?

To me, and presumably, to those who know me and presumably to Twitter employees who have access to a whole lot more data than I do.
For many years most accounts have been locked shortly after they're created. I had deep OTM puts on Twitter before Musk bought it since it's pretty obviously a dying platform without some substantial change.

Twitter suspended my twelve year old account for most of a year without explanation.

Eight months later, my appeal worked and I got it back and was told it was an error in automated spam detection. Eight months! It was a 12 year old account. For those eight months I couldn't even get support to reply.

Twitter has been garbage for years. The app is a great idea, I hope it gets fixed.
There is an all you can eat chain in my area. Its cheap, but they do charge extra for any leftovers - that approach would likely significantly reduce the waste in places such as uni-scale cafeterias.
I would argue that we shouldn't be writing APIs at all and should be writing constraint and goal oriented programs which can be remotely tested for resource utilization. Basically, we need to stop thinking about reinventing the wheel just because we don't like the wheel we're given and figure out how to adapt it to our uses in a manner that doesn't require explicit human written code. I know this all is just wishful thinking on my part, but it would be nice to just have programs just be a set of constraints and goals as I mentioned early and then have the compiler and runtime figure out the details of execution on its own.
No it isn't. There's more to Epub than HTML and web browsers don't know by default how deal with the files or handle things like pagination or the table of contents. Mobi is also based on HTML too. Doesn't mean every web browser supports mobi either.
There are several things they could check and factor into the score before banning someone. Client source (if the use the website 100% of the time and suddenly this was from the Android client for example), IP address (do they tweet from the U.S. exclusively and then suddenly they're tweeting from Moscow?), VPN affiliation (did this tweet originate from a known VPN egress?), and so on. These things _should_ be factored into the "omg ban this account" score IMO, but I have no idea if they are.
We can’t control the extensions RDS allows to be installed, and they are historically conservative. Lev and I do have some fairly extensive experience with replication patterns to Postgres instances running in EC2. Foreign data wrappers are also an option, and depending on workload may be a good horizontal scaling strategy in addition.
That I agree with. Still, no indication at all that anything besides Twitter has been abused and believe me there are far juicier targets on this machine as well. So why just Twitter if someone has compromised my main work machine? That would really make no sense.
For Gmail on Mac, I think Mimestream is the best. It’s basically Apple Mail but tailored to the Gmail API.

Maybe, but it was kind of a problem when I was already like "is there a way to progress the game but have this guy not accomplish what he wants?" on like mission 1 (past the prologue)—there was no build-up to it, I thought he was wrong and should fail immediately. And they might have gone for some kind of turn-around on that when the girl comes into the story, so that I start wanting him to succeed, but then, I also didn't like her and didn't care if anything involved with that worked out, either.

I think I quit right after the game had me murder a couple soldiers for bad reasons. I already have several GTA games I can play, which, thanks to tone and expectations, aren't frustrating when they ask me to do that kind of thing. My head-canon is that the soldiers instead shot everyone there and that was the good ending for the story.
No none of them do. When you email an Epub file Amazon converts it using KindleGen to whatever your device supports.
It's a nitpick, but it's trilateration and you're right that it is still trivial to do.
Why do I need to run a gui or ncurses UI if I just want to do the equivalent of

I love plain HTML. The chief problem I have with it is just dealing with templates--stuff like navigation. Lots of other people have the same problem. So they add some simple templating system, where they stick some text around the HTML. Ok, and then they want to automatically generate navigation, maybe add a few other features here and there. Add width/height to <img>, syntax highlighting for code snippets, etc.

It's really easy for this kind of endeavor to get out of hand. The hardest part of plain HTML is sticking with it and writing just enough automation to keep you sane.

It's also far too easy to get sloppy when working on something that does some basic preprocessing. My personal preference is to keep the pages as HTML, and write a processor that does minor modifications to the HTML DOM, using a proper HTML5 library.

If done carefully, you can keep the experience close to the experience of editing pure HTML. For example, rather than some custom "shortcodes", you can use custom HTML elements. Custom HTML elements are a more verbose, but come with major advantages over terser shortcodes (use existing tooling, you don't need a parser). You can do simple stuff like automatically add alt="" or srcset="" to your <img> based on image metadata, or automatically generate breadcrumbs using site structure.

The general idea is to keep it as close to plain HTML as possible. If possible, make it so the page is plain HTML.
No, I can't log in. All I get is that screen over and over again.

> Did you actually see it posted to your account?

No.
