Your account being compromised doesn't necessarily mean your password was compromised. Attackers are constantly developing new ways of accessing people's accounts. There's no valid reason to assume that there was an "elaborate hack of Twitter." Even people who are very careful, as it sounds like you are, can be successfully targeted. I don't know if turning on 2FA would have prevented this, but it sure wouldn't have hurt.
Quickly Checkable Proofs
It is challenging, although, with financial markets, it seems like it would be simpler to have some automatic anomaly detection mechanism to unplug or slow things down to prevent further damage.
Some do (at least now) but there's no standard/regulation for it.
I started a https://www.mygeargarage.com

Initially it was for tracking all sorts of gear you use in your activities (because strava only tracks bike or shoes). I then added workouts, and challenges (but then strava added custom challenges...).

My workout component allows you to share the url with friends and they can RSVP, you can add the route and stuff. But I don't have a ton of social features, mainly because I built this for myself and somehow organically it has grown to a few hundred users. I'm not really looking to grow it... but it does everything I need and others seem to find it useful...

Marooned in Realtime
> I've frequently read in news articles that the lifetime of the Soyuz spacecraft on orbit is limited by H2O2. You appear to be saying that's false

May be I misunderstood, what said by insiders. As I remember, first "Soyuz" spacecrafts was maid with H2O2 system, but than they made lot of changes, including new reaction control system.

But looks logically, system used in space separated from system used on atmosphere.
And because "Soyuz" landing on dry land, and because accuracy of landing is its weak side, it is also logical to not use toxic components.

I think you remember, how long astronauts stay inside "Dragon" once, because sensors shown hydrazine fuel vapor near ship.

- American ships

> Perhaps you can point at a source?

Sorry, it is not easy now.

It is not secret. Before approximately 2005 I talked a lot on Russian forums, and there was specialists from Russian space industry, and they shared extremely interest info, and I even considered to go work there.
Plus books, mostly from Russian authors.

After ~2005, appeared serious tension in talks, so I avoid them, to save my own psychic health.

I cannot be sure, but looks like, it was another step in preparing for big war.

And you are right, that open information on Russian technologies is very limited. This is partially, because they considered nearly all space technologies as semi-military, so some information just classified. Other part is that Russians extremely conservative in business behaviors, and one thing, they inherit form Soviets - very big love to close nearly all information, even harmless and useless, just to show only good info, to look better, to look winner.

What I mean about Soviets - typically, they made launches without announces, and only talk about them if success.

Because of this exists "kosmos" satellites, some of which was planned to flight with this designation, but mostly these are unsuccessful satellites, which reach orbit (and appeared in NORAD list) but does not function from beginning.

If satellite not reached orbit (for example because of malfunction of rocket), and NORAD don't catch it, nothing said at all. If reached some orbit, but malfunction - appears new "kosmos". Because of this behavior, in late USSR was about 1500 "kosmos" sats, and now this number more than 2000.
But they'll typically have a check valve good for one assist. Assuming you press once and only once and *hard*, they will win.

But that's a big assumption to make for people panicking.
But most people using neural nets in the industry aren't working on those things. They just slap it on any data inference task, even though in most cases traditional statistical/data science models works much better.
Product ideas using DALL-E that may work
I really wonder how this was done. And if it can be done this easily how often it happens, it's not like I'm super visible, there are probably millions of accounts on Twitter with more visibility.
Pretty cool, interested to see where you take this. Have you checked out Hypothesis? It's a similar tool thats been around for a long time: https://web.hypothes.is/
>I believe it is extremely unlikely they just got drunk and tweeted "Die on the job..."

Is it not even more unlikely that Twitter itself was hacked, just so someone could post this tweet as OP?

I agree it is an uncharacteristic tweet on the OPs behalf, but... If we are to believe OPs claim that there is "no possible way" their machine and/or account have been hacked... My next step isn't thinking "Well, all of Twitter must have been hacked".
Excel crapped out bioinformatics. It's a turd. Period.
Yes, this is good advice.
Just popped open Task Manager...

calculator.exe is at 74 MB working set, 24 MB Memory (private set), 50 MB Memory (shared working set), 48 MB commit size.

mIRC.exe is at 31 MB working set, 13 MB Memory (private set), 18 MB Memory (shared working set), 38 MB commit size.

Doesn't matter which value you use for "How much memory does this program use?". mIRC is smaller in all of them.
I've been pleased by NATS (https://nats.io/). I like how it builds its functionality on layers of abstractions, from the most basic (pub/sub), to request/response on top of that, to key/value and persistent streams on top of that. The CLI is simple to use and you can learn it in an afternoon, but it's robust enough to deploy.
That’s just joining an arms race you’ll never win with one dev. There are entire teams and divisions dedicated to it and it’s still an unsolved problem.
Problems with memory management are a fading memory when coding modern C++.

All the things Rust advocates insist cannot be done safely in C++ are now trivial. Use-after-free, leaks, buffer overruns, what-have-you, no longer need any attention to avoid if you stick to modern C++. Some people insist on coding as if it were C, and bring along all of C's failings. Leave them behind.
I'm curious if the density of the Martian atmosphere is sufficient to transmit sound that we could hear inside a helmet, and at what level.

Obviously a fixable problem with an external microphone hooked up to the helmet earphones, but I wonder abt natural sounds, wind noise, etc. Could be pretty cool to hear things directly.

Any astro-audiologists out there?
That's a totally fair assessment - I can certainly relate with tags in note-taking apps

It really depends on your use-case here.

If you’re able to spin up an environment via docker-compose and play against that with playwright, then I think that’s good for that use-case.

However, if you’re testing a flow that relies on some initial state, it can sometimes be tricky to seed that state or do so in a way which is representative.
ErrorProne is part of the compiler suite.

A lot of "recycling" gets diverted to landfill domestically, too. How much depends, but lots of stuff is sorted out as unrecyclable, unidentifiable, or just plain unprofitable. Probably including most straws and other small items placed in recycling.

Hmm. I was kicking the wheels on cinnamon the other day - but because it's not on Wayland it won't do mixed resolution displays out of the box, so it's not really viable for me.

A pity, as I dislike snaps and the generally dumbed down direction of recent Gnome, so it would otherwise have been a good fit for me. For now I'm (still) on Ubuntu though.
In San Francisco so probably similar. We only have one southern-facing window that gets any significant light through the day but it's in the kitchen so I haven't tried to grow much of anything near besides green onions and cat grass. They both do well there. We do have an outside garden area and have grown artichokes, peas, basil and other herbs like tarragon as well as having a couple lemon trees that do well so I think it just depends on having a spot where you can get full sun for the things that need it though grow lights do give you more flexibility and control overall.
I'm not sure - I didn't edit it and I don't know how to fix it
other hogwash aside , the most interesting thing you mentioned was a civilian being able to buy 'radar-blocking paint designed for stealth fighters'.

I'd love that (probably ficticious) contact; EM blocking paints would be mega useful in a home RF lab -- all the ones I know of are super toxic, unfortunately i'm sure the military ones are even more-so.
VCs reward investments into all that horse hockey, because VCs reward investments into it. It's greater fools all the way down, a weird self-fulfilling prophecy.

Interesting! But: I never gave Twitter my phone number exactly because I figured that that would open me up to SIM swap attacks and the password on the account is quite secure. As secure as this machine, I guess.
I’m Ukrainian, very pro-West Ukrainian at that.

I absolutely despise Kyiv Independent for working to discredit real journalists by pushing completely absurd propaganda, like the “ghost of Kyiv” lie.

These things are more complicated than they might seem at first glance.
There is a huge disincentive against making well-done (i.e. concise and to the point) YT's, since YT's recommender system prioritizes long vids. So "faster than M1" could be handled in 2 seconds by giving both geekbench scores or whatever. Instead a YT review is likely to beat around the bush for 10+ minutes before giving usable info like that. Note: I haven't watched this review so don't know if it's like that. Maybe someone can post a tl-dw.
Related: I did a lot of WinForms programming in C# when I was a tools programmer at EA and I don't know if I've ever been as productive as during that time. The whole API was really well thought out, Visual Studio was fast, C# was a beautiful language.
I think the core problem is that there's a whole raft of things that get bucketed under "environmentally friendly" - for example:

- CO2
- Lifespan of materials
- Ecological impact of material extraction/creation
- Ecological impact of the materials themselves
- Energy cost of transport/etc.

In this case, plastic is concerning because of the lifespan of the materials and the ecological impact of the materials - it may be energetically cheaper to produce & transport a plastic bag as opposed to a paper bag, but presumably the paper bag degrades faster and with fewer side effects.
It takes 5-7 years to get your PhD, 3-5 years as a postdoc, then starting pay is usually 85-90, but set to grow fairly quickly but to out at 145+benefits. That extra decade in "training" is a lot of missed economic opportunity
Extra thumbs-up: If you have any questions like this, check with your local state or county extension agents. They'll talk your ears off. They're lonely. :-)

They can't always help, but they'll have good suggestions to think about.
The catholics stepped in when the protestants lost their nerve. The catholic church at that time had institutional power, projected from the concentrated ethnic neighborhoods in cities like Philadelphia. Cardinal Krol could tell his diocese not to go watch movies, and they'd do it, and it would really hurt the studios, who were deeply in debt. Additionally, Bank of America was, at that time, in Catholic hands.

This institutional power was lost when the catholics moved to suburbia post WW2.
I really hope so. Maybe this will yield better privacy-preserving schemes for data analysis and recommendation engines. Necessity is the mother of invention (or whatever the equivalent idiom is in English).

I think I'm hardly making an original argument, but a big problem is binding Compute and Data, so companies have an incentive to hoard as much data as possible and keep it hostage. Feels like deep down that's the whole valuation of Silicon Valley
> Is there a cost transferring stacks on virtual threads across platform threads?

You shouldn't need to "transfer" the stack. There isn't really a "platform stack", that is just whatever your stack pointer is pointing at. So it is perfectly fine to allocate many stacks and switch between them within one OS thread just by changing the stack pointer.

Of course if you are allocating a "full stack" then the main question is what is the point? IIUC the biggest cost of threads is the memory allocated to the stack. So unless you are doing something clever you don't get much benefit. There are many approaches here but I guess it is up to the runtime to pick one.
Are results good?
The previous US president used Twitter as his primary form of public address. These are now part of the presidential archive. Like it or not, in 2022, Twitter is a first class medium for communication.
Thank you, and I greatly appreciate your comment as well.

1. I can sympathize.

2. I am software engineer that has and currently played various extreme sports, so there is probably a strong correlation lol.

3. I don't have enough bandwidth to implement thing sometimes when the RAM is maxed out and I do not have any Swap Space.

4. Makes sense. My family was predominantly in the medical field and they constantly would have to talk with lonely and/or bored patients all the time. So, you are probably on to something.

> "intellectualise social interaction" rings a bell

I tried to search for what this meant, but I found a few differing ideas that I didn't know which one to attribute to what you meant. Do you mind elaborating?

I do tend to talk fast and talk a lot. It used to get me in a lot of trouble in school growing up because I would basically talk non-stop (wasn't diagnosed or treated during those times). I still talk a lot, but I have grown out of a lot of it.

I have sound sensitivity issues like misphonia and I hate going to concerts despite being a musician at one time due to how painful I find the volume. If I go, I have to wear earplugs or I find it physically painful to be a setting that loud. Same thing with small engine devices like chainsaws and other machinery.

I do not think I have co-morbid Autism, but if I do not, then I probably missed a good chance -- then again, there is probably symptom overlaps between the two.
I have no problem with the phone call quality for the year that I've owned my PinePhone. I can hear people fine and they can hear me fine.

Next question? Although it looks like you're not interested in asking questions, just insulting people who actually know what they're talking about.

BTW not everyone who gets the PinePhone uses it for calls; the number of people who brought the keyboard case in order to use it as a PDA or laptop should be proof of that. So I say again that "daily driver" is not a well-defined term with a single globally-recognized meaning, and people should ask precisely what they want from the phone.

Oh for sure. I've posted on HN plenty of times and never gotten any comments - I post something short and "hot take" and suddenly get top 10 lol
I'm an avid cyclist and I pay for Strava premium. I really like a lot of the things Strava offers and also have a lot of dislikes. I've thought about making a competing product and also offering it for free or at least much cheaper. It sounds easy at first, but there is so much Strava does. When you go in depth, no wonder Strava is an actual company and not 3 geeks and their spare time.

For serious athletes, Strava offers quite a lot and segment competition is a very small thing. I'd go as far as to argue that for this slice of customers, segments are just for fun and there are other real reasons to use it. Here's a quick overview of the things I find valuable that I wouldn't want to go without:

- Big community, with automatic ride grouping (showing rides together in the feed when you ride with other people). Ability to social network by leaving comments, adding photos, writing a story and so on.

- In depth (although I would love some more) ability to analyze your own performance: plot comparisons between segment rides by time; compare your power curves (W / duration) across different time spans; track your running PRs (1k, 1mi, 5k, 10k, 1/2 and full marathons);

- Calculate TSS (training stress score) per ride and per week in order to track training stress. Also supports tracking weekly duration, distance and so on. This is done based on HR during the exercise, I believe there are well known formulas.
- Integration with a bunch of external services. I want the rides I track with my Garmin devices that end up in Garmin Connect to automatically end up in Strava. There's a thing called tapiriik (https://tapiriik.com/) that could be helpful here, it's also open source.

- Very nice route planner. There are other services for that (e.g. Komoot), but Strava is able to incorporate their data trove to make smart routings. When I make a route in Strava it also ends up on my Garmin devices, which is extra nice. No transferring GPX files left and right. The fact that it's built-in, easy to use and "right there" makes it quite an attractive option.

- Nice API. I hate that Strava is adding more and more limitations to it, but some of the local cycling groups use it to organize group rides and it works quite well. I believe any competitors will need to outdo Strava in terms of API coverage and limitations.

- Fitness & Freshness graphs, ability to create training plans, ride cropping, exploration ... many other things I don't use daily, but they're just there.

One should also probably read up on previous efforts in that sphere. Endomondo used to be pretty big, but then kinda just fizzled out. There's Ride with GPS and a bunch of others, but nothing on the scale of Strava. Why? I don't have a clear answer, it's probably a multitude of factors, even product timing.

As a daily user (7 workouts / week), group ride organizer and outdoor person, I'd be happy to discuss Strava and its alternatives further.

I'm a full stack developer with an emphasis on front end development – particularly focusing on performance, usability, and general user experience. I love making things look and feel great for users, and ensuring a degree of reliability and correctness that front ends deserve. I also enjoy building great APIs for other developers, making it so it's easier and more fluid to build great front ends with less expertise or experience.

My most recent work is an overhaul of https://instantdomainsearch.com and the leading the creation of the front end of https://instantdomains.com. Prior to that I've helped build a wide range of products from website builders to a robotic arm simulation environment for chemistry experiment automation. I love to explore, learn, and get better at my craft.

My goal is to join a team building great things for customers they really care about. I want to learn, teach, and share my experience. I'm motivated to deliver the best work I can, support a team I love working with, and build products I can take pride in. I'm looking for full time work, ideally.

I'm not seeing the smoking gun here in your documents.

I'm aware of many academics who work with city governments, including at least one researcher not from Chicago who works closely with the city of Chicago. He does so precisely because there are big problems there. The city of Chicago may even contribute to the funding of the work he does (it's helpful for the city to have skin in the game), but they certainly don't provide the lion's share of the funding and if the city were uncooperative he'd simply shift his work to another urban area. He's not going to waste his time and career as some sort of controlled victim of an evil governmental moneybags, particularly when he's the one bringing funding to the projects.

Happy to continue reading docs, but thus far I'm not seeing the conspiracy.
