First-time poster/commenter here.

The devil's honest truth is that inertia kept me at my job. It isn't a great job, but it isn't a terrible one. I get paid reasonably well for where I live, I'm not being abused or exploited to an egregious degree, I'm not getting serious pressure to go "back to the office", and the tech interviewing process is still too onerous compared to keeping the job I have to make looking for a "better deal" worthwhile.

You see, I didn't need Sarah Jaffe[0] to tell me that "work won't love me back". I knew my job was mostly bullshit before I had ever heard of David Graeber[1]. I'm one of the lastborn of Generation X and I wasn't so tightly glued to my Nintendo that I couldn't see and hear how capitalism had fucked over my parents. They poured their hearts and souls into their work, and what did they get for it?

Well, my mother's a cripple and my father died before he could start collecting Social Security, and none of the "friends" they thought they had made at work could be bothered to fart on their behalf, let alone actually give a shit.

So, my approach to work is that of Edmond Dantes:

> "Perhaps what I am about to say will appear strange to you gentlemen, socialists, progressives, humanitarians as you are, but I never worry about my neighbor, I never try to protect society which does not protect me -- indeed, I might add, which generally takes no heed of me except to do me harm -- and, since I hold them low in my esteem and remain neutral towards them, I believe that society and my neighbor are in my debt." ~Alexandre Dumas, /The Count of Monte Cristo/ (trans. Robin Buss)

I am not and will never be grateful to "have a job". My employers should be grateful I'm willing to work for them, and they can express their gratitude in legal tender. My intellect is for rent, but my heart and soul are mine alone and not for sale. You can pay me to work for you, but don't expect me to give a fuck.

So maybe a more basic and fundamental question - but why can't OS threads be as good as these virtual threads? Why do we have to have two layers of thread abstraction? My first reaction is "eww" quickly followed by "I'm prolly not understanding something here". Why can't we make the OS handle thousands of threads?

That reminds me of an article that was linked from here, a couple of years ago, titled “IT Runs On Java 8”[0].

I worked for hardware manufacturers, for most of my career, and can report that it’s even worse.

That’s because the company does have an engineering culture, but one with drastically different priorities and processes.

Our software shops were expected to run in hardware patterns.

> Natick is pretty undeniably a suburb of Boston

That's my point. It's a suburb of Boston. It's not Boston. Call them a Natick duo. Credit where credit it due.

> unless you want to engage in "anything outside I95 is irreverent boondocks" type snobbery

Just the opposite. I don't like how all the towns outside the city get lumped in with the city. Non-local news makes it sound like the entire eastern half of the state is Boston, but there's more to it than that.
I do some amateur stonks trading and I believe the bank I trade at will withhold some taxes for dividends paid; I presume that the total monetary value of stocks + cash held on January 1st of every year is passed on to the tax office, who will use it for capital gains taxes (iirc it's a percentage of 4% of the amount, that is, they assume you will, on average, be able to get a 4% ROI on investments and tax that return).

This difference between income taxes and possession / investment taxes is why pretty much everywhere in the world, high ranking and high earning people don't pay as much taxes because their earnings will be from stocks and non-wage income. I'm sure there's macro-economic reasons behind it, I dunno.
Isn't this what's happening right now?

Wouldn’t it be harder to believe that an individual who does produce something could generate that much value? There’s a limit to what one person can do. However I’ve definitely seen projects fail with hundreds of high salaries wasted for months or years because of bad leadership.

This takeover attempt carries a similar world historical significance to the Girardian interpretation of the Crucifixion.

Jesus exposed the underlying collective violence, the scapegoat mechanism, that holds society together. Exposing the hidden mechanism weakens it, its psychological efficacy. And so of course the powers that be reacted, trying to silence Jesus and suppress his movement. But in doing so they only proved Jesus’s point, turning him into the ultimate example of the scapegoat and ensuring his message would echo through the ages.

In the Information age, Musk is exposing the informational violence, censorship and propaganda, that power relies upon. And so of course the powers that be conspire to thwart his takeover attempt of the world’s most important social network, pulling the levers of law and regulation and politics to stop this simple business transaction, while running defamatory stories about him in the press. But in doing so they only reveal the true extent of their lies and deceit, ensuring Musk’s message reverberates through the public consciousness. The moment of revelation is inescapable.

You've probably met people who rendered their own lives miserable and poor through selfishness and distrust. More, probably, than who rendered their own lives miserable and poor through getting ripped off when being too trusting. In my own experience they are abundant.
My thoughts on this are that extremely smart, hard-charging people with heavy narcissistic traits are "constrained" in their earlier years by:

1. They still need to follow the basic rules of society, i.e. people haven't started "God-Emperor Elon" memes yet, so not every single person is going to bow down.

2. Before they've achieved amazing success, they aren't 100% confident in their other-wordly abilities. Now, given his success with PayPal, Tesla, and Space-X, it's easy for him to believe his own press.

Thus, Elon is now at the point where all of his negative traits are essentially allowed to "run wild" because they are constrained neither by society at large, nor his own doubts.
Hi,
dev here, thanks for the input!

Fruits is a pivot for fanbase.com which sadly didn't make it. Within a few days, we managed to build fruits and launched it as the quickest MVP we could come up with. That's what you're seeing today.
The imprint still points towards the current legal entity (fanbase GmbH). A new legal entity is currently under registration by the founders. Once the paperwork is done, the founders will move all assets to the new company and align the imprint accordingly.

Concerning taxation: this seems to be a clear improvement we need to work on communicating. Taxation is hard and we tried to break it down in a pricing calculator (which does not yet seem to do all that good of a job, point taken).

Disclaimer - as mentioned below/above in some of the comments: not the tax attorney ;-)

We are working with a tax office that helped us figuring out international taxation and will be able to answer all legal taxation questions in detail for each single country we're in business with.

Taxation for fruits essentially means:

- fruits charges the buyer and applies tax applicable for fruits (company in Germany) and the buyer in country XYZ

- each buyer will receive an invoice (issued by fruits)

- the seller will receive a single credit note for all sales performed within a month targeting a German company (fruits)

[Buyer] <<- Invoice (Tax) --- [fruits] <<- Credit note ->> [Seller]
Twitter would pocket a billion dollars - ~5x its net cash flow for last year - why on earth would it sell for _less_ when it can invest that cash in just about anything? He'd be buying the company years of runway to build... whatever it wants - at that point I'd invest in twitter as soon as Musk's check cleared.

This isn't a renegotiation, this is him paying points on his mortgage for a lower rate - but where the points paid go towards the previous owners either way.
I have been to both USA and Italy and ate the specific style of pizza in each country. I regard American pizza as a regression. When someone says pizza I assume Italian style. They can shove the American style in a place where the sun does not shine (oven!) as in I ain't paying for it. I will pay a good amount for an Italian style pizza though.

The gain is mentioned in the article: without such discipline sometimes when you #include button.h (what you expect to be innocuous header file for a desired button functionality) you accidently inlcude nuclearpowerplant.h (a giant monstorisity of recursively included functionality none of which you actually need).

It may be possible to avoid that worst-case situation without such strict discipline, but with the no-recursive-include rule for sure it won't happen.
"Communities" don't actually exist beyond the beliefs of their current membership. Its like a philosophical discussion of mind-body dualism. Arguably, for example, Twitter quite literally has no soul, its belief system is merely the sum of its current participants. The concept of twitter having a soul is perfectly analogous to the concept of a human being having a soul in the biblical sense.

A small group can have values divergent from the mainstream. By definition if a group scales up to mainstream, the group's values at mainstream scale will be mainstream because its members ARE the mainstream, or optionally some kind of cabal will have to spend infinitely increasing effort on mass censorship and intense propaganda (see contemporary issues in legacy social media).

Now if your entire economic system depends on growth for the sake of growth, all small groups will eventually tend toward mainstream beliefs or they will shut down.

Not all orgs are "successful" like the "forum for doctors" example. The OP considers "Dr Phil" and "Dr Oz" but WRT influence almost no doctors out there are Dr Phil or Dr Oz and most people are not fans of their TV shows. Consider dying legacy media like newspapers and TV and "Hollywood" in general. Fewer people pay attention to their antics every year. Eventually those orgs WILL collapse and disappear, like newspapers have been slowly doing, but for now, a lot of money can be made off really bad, non-influential movies, for example. Shrinking organizations can aggressively gatekeep their belief systems until the org shuts down completely. For example, you can make a lot of money off publishing a book almost no one reads, but don't confuse that pile of money with influence.

Ironically the people gatekeeping an organization via censorship, propaganda, etc, truly THINK they are saving the org by being devout believers in the Current Thing, but they're actually destroying the org. If you have no traction, the harder you push the further you get away from the mainstream, no matter how much those whom are pushing would like to think they're moving the mainstream.
The $1B are lost in (2). He will have to pay about $1B more if he has to pay the fee to twitter because then the company is worth $1B more.

It's not $1B exactly because he already owns some shares so he doesn't have to pay extra for those.
Buying in NY required you have a lawyer, and the same with a couple states in the North East. I'm sure that the West Coast is the same. I would assume that the "deregulation" states don't require it, but I am using "mine" for buying my grandpa's house in Louisiana just because I cannot be there in person, so they are handling everything on my behalf.

I totally agree that cultural norms can rework all these issues, but I also imagine if I were building an app and saw people constantly using it in a particular way that caused people to constantly say "Hey, do this in this other place instead," I'd rework the app to fit what I was shooting for.
I very much agree with all you said, but it's also a way to find likeminded people.

If I discuss with somebody and they agree with me that Musk is a conman and a cult leader, chances are they have the same mental framework around other broader things such as how SV has become a hotspot for cults.

How maybe it's time to get out of such hotspot for cults, how maybe the template for success isn't inflating a financial bubble such as Tesla but going old school like Microsoft, without raising any money, going straight to building products and attack Goliath without fear like they did with IBM, not in the press but in the marketplace.
I don't think he was pressuring them to close the short, I think he was hinting that it'd be good for him if he could reprice the deal.
I could see the captcha solution someone mentioned being possible.

The "problem" at this part in the text is that the headers still have to get parsed multiple times by the preprocessor. With his approach this would not be necessary.

That said, I don't think that is that big of a problem compared to final compile time reduction.

EDIT: Disregard that, the preprocessor remembers the states of include guards. So there is literally no point.[1]

No. A "Privatverkauf" is tax free after one year. If you sell before that it is taxed as income.

This is pretty ignorant. Assuming your comment is based on a actual experience in both places (and ignoring how heterogeneous "Europe" and "the US" are), the comment is still equivalent to saying "it's crazy that someone has different priorities than me"
Seems like your phone's manufacturer cheaped out on the port. I have an iPad Pro whose usb-c port still feels rock solid after 2.5 years.
This could all be deflection. All name-brand printers (in the US at least and probably everywhere) watermark printed pages with yellow dots that identify the printer serial number. If the printer is purchased with a credit card and the SN is scanned, there is a perfect trail from your printed page to the person who bought it. I suspect if that method was used they still may want to claim these other fingerprinting methods to avoid spreading the word about printers.

- QnA
- Score
- Type
- and ID

* 1 Question on one row, its Answer on the next row. I use text color same as background color to hide the answer (putting the cursor on the cell shows the answer text in the formula bar up top). I just open the sheet, keep hitting down key and review.

* score column is a range between 1 ( i remember this) and -1 (totally new question). I start with -1, once I get it right, then 0.9, then 0.5, then 0.1 then 1. Increment when I get it right, decrement if wrong. Being able to just sort questions by score is the most valuable part.

* Type is either "q" or "a" based on the type of the row. Useful to filter out question rows only.

* ID is for grouping question and answer rows. Q n A rows both get the same ID so I can sort and dont mix.

* One workbook per subject. One sheet per topic.

* Works on phone, desktop, work laptop, everywhere. Copy paste friendly. Super easy to share. Color coding helps, images are supported, search works, can export to PDF, never breaks, i can group related topics and questions, make cross references, focus is on the content not the tool.

Yeah, that's a lot more what we're shooting for with Cardinal as well. More topical discussions that can start private and grow from there in a clear, natural way.
You are missing the emphasis on the market in stock market. By buying all the stocks of a company, you are basically taking company private – you own the company but the market for its stock is gone – and the value of what you own is the book-value of the business and access to its free cashflow. You don't own an instrument that gets you multiples on that anymore. Stock market gives you a multiple on the book value.

For example, if Elon Musk owned all of Tesla he would have access to $3.7B of its annual free cash-flow or $3.3B of net income. He won't be able to afford to buy Twitter with that. But because he has Tesla stocks which gets a huge multiple on those metrics, he can pledge a fraction of his fraction of ownership in Tesla to get a huge loan with which he is able to buy Twitter (and still enjoy his ownership rights of Tesla stocks!). That's because of stock market.

Good point.

I think you do accept the convenience of browsers (many cool projects such as this one https://learningsynths.ableton.com/).

So now the problem is the audio performance.

As I post in the comments below, we now have WASM, so C++ and Rust can all run in browsers. This can provide a near-native audio performance.

Just take Glicol, the live coding language I design as an example: it runs in browsers (https://glicol.org) and it also runs as a VST plugin (https://youtu.be/tmmBhBmIEW0), or you can use the audio engine to write VST plugin (https://github.com/chaosprint/dattorro-vst-rs).
The Oxford English Dictionary is a historical dictionary. It aims to be a complete lexicon of the English language over time. It doesn't aim to reflect modern usage, except by adding new words. In contrast, the Oxford Dictionary of English (ODE, not OED) does aim to reflect modern usage.
The promotion issue doesn’t sound super plausible to me. If you’re part of an internal software development team at an energy company, you’re likely considered part of a cost center not top of mind to the company’s business. Promotions to higher levels are more likely to come from people part of the core sector.
Elon is a smart guy and while this may seem knee jerkish to some and attributable to mental characteristics by others I’m pretty certain it will work out for him. Why? Look at his past accomplishments. This guy is a visionary and isn’t afraid to take risks to get’r done. Disclaimer: Not even close to smart enough to judge this guy.

As the article notes:

> "In laboratory experiments, cowbirds and other brood parasites that spend too much time with their foster families end up learning their host species’ songs, picking up their behaviors, and attempting to mate with them."

Clearly, this would be an evolutionary dead end for the cowbird species as such mating attempts would be unlikely to result in viable offspring. The reason that doesn't happen appears to be that cowbird parents and their offspring maintain a kind of distant relationship until maturity.

As usual, some people jump on these issues to promote their various ideologies, be it 'biological determinism' or 'social constructionism'. Notably the psychologists and politicans (i.e. German fascism promoted genetic determinism, Russian communism promoted phenotypic plasticity) are the ones who came up with these simplistic one-dimensional concepts, reality being far more complex in every case.
One of my goals since I was in college has been to own the OED. I finally have the bookshelf space and have saved up for it, so I think this is the year I achieve my personal pinnacle of literary nerd-dom! There’s nothing like a stroll through the forgotten by-ways of the language.
Worthwhile things: stacking the Supreme Court with far-right justices & lowering taxes for the wealthy. These are massive successes for the party he represents (which is actually a minority of the country, unfortunately)
No. A person in Musk’s position should know better than to behave this way, and perhaps to even bounce drafts of his communications off a trusted confidant for feedback before hitting “send.” Heck, I do this myself a couple times a month, and I’m nowhere near his level of power and influence. It’s not like he can’t afford an army of comms people.
> Honestly, it's hard to believe that one person who isn't actually producing/outputting anything can create that much value

I'm not going to attempt to justify the number, but this statement is incorrect. Value is provided by working on the right thing. I work for a startup, and ~20% of my time is spent figuring out what we're working on/if we need to pivot, and the other 80% on doing some of that work (with other developers). The 20% of time that I spend choosing what we're working provides an order of magnitude more value to the company than the 80% of my time that I spend developing, and I suspect that as we grow that gap will continue to grow.
