Now imagine your family insists the inside also has to look like a model home. So clean it looks like no one even lives in it. Then add young children. Then add rich, child-free friends. Then add shows and magazines about redecorating / 'rennovating' every six months. FML.

Well, it depends on what is in the firehose. What twitter really knows that you can't just see, is how (with what client) users are logging in and whether their ad tracker URLs are being triggered (i.e. the user really did result in an ad impression). If Musk can determine that directly or indirectly from the firehose then he could say "here's how I calculated it and it's 9%" or something, I guess.
Good question! Emm, it's really hard to answer without a context. I think in general, I'd need to overcome any emotional "disturbances" first. But for the situations like what described in this post story, I can imagine the most critical thing was to choose the right infra design, whether to use traditional pipeline based infra or something new but can make things pretty simple, like a HTAP database in the story. This is really an amazing story with a lot of out-of-box ideas that I'd like to check for more details.
Would be interesting to produce changelogs or commit messages to be edited, but it would probably be abused more than it was helpful.
Presumably the point is that the spammer operates many identities and can systematically determine details about the spam detection system by observing which of their identities get banned.

Thanks, so much better than twitter.
>but overall, for loops are much more preferable to map/filter/reduce

I strongly disagree on this one. A .map or a .filter are clear and concise while filtering or mapping, particularly in a streaming situation where you're only iterating the collection once.

You can trivially write code using this paradigm that's easily readable, performant, and takes up a handful of lines that would take dozens in Go.
The hard thing to say, though, is "does Coca-cola's logo show timeless design?" or "Is Coca-cola's logo timeless because they just decided to never change it, and coke is such an iconic product that there is no need to?"

I mean, the latter part appears to be pretty much what this article is arguing. Just look at the Pinterest change, from a nice, cursive logo to boring, generic block letters. Coca-cola may have made the same boring transition if somehow minimalist sans serif was all the rage in the late 1800s.

Thanks for your insights here — is there any innovation going currently wrt phages either in academia or the startup world that looks significant from a practical point of view? I've also seen people claim that phages were never researched as much in the West because they were popular with the Soviets and therefore had a kind of tainted PR image, is there any truth to this or was their lack of prevalence primarily due to more serious issues?
Supposedly the story goes that in 1843, after annexing the Indian province of Sind, British General Sir Charles Napier sent home a one word telegram, "Peccavi" implying "I have Sind." Although apocryphal, it's still a great story.
I use this too. This extension used to work amazingly well for me, but lately it’s been troublesome. I switched to it from vscode-vim after it destroyed my undo buffer one too many times, and vscode-neovim was great. It was fast, and it seemed solid. Now though, it will randomly stay stuck in command mode no matter how many times I mash i or I or A or o. Other times it will make changes a few lines away from where the cursor is. I’m not sure what’s changed - maybe VSCode changes that the plugin hasn’t kept up with? Maybe the rust-analyzer plugin is messing with it? - but it’s been a real bummer to not be able to trust that the editor will do what I tell it, and I’ve been thinking of switching to something else. I’m not sure if there’s anything better, though. (I mean, real vim would work better, but I do really like rust-analyzer)
Why the downvotes, HN?

Anyone want to disagree that at this point Optane/3D-XPoint seems unlikely to become part of the typical (or even fairly specialized) memory hierarchy?

Too bad! The density benefits alone were compelling, and papers like this suggested a lot of green field in the system design space via the persistence capability.
Some of those fashion brand logos are really surprisingly awful. The Burberry and YSL ones in particular are just unforgivably tasteless and bland.
I wish New Relic would support plain old ICMP ping. That would be nice. You used to be able to implement it using their Scripted API thing (which is just sandboxed Node), but at some point they broke raw socket support, which broke every ping NPM in existence. I think you can still make it work if you run a private minion, but that's more effort than I want to spend.

Yes.

A really short:

The wanderer froze. The site before a wonder. For a moment, the intent of passage was lost, and a belonging to nowhere was overcome with belonging everywhere. Then the moment past. The horizon was seen elsewhere as empty and far off. A long road lay ahead.
Answering in reverse order:

Phages were used in the west prior to the advent of antibiotics. They had a repetitional issue then, because our purification methods weren't always great, so phage preparations had both phage and potentially bits of the cell wall of the bacteria they had killed. Bacterial cell walls contain endotoxins, which are potentially quite dangerous.

They were largely abandoned in the West because with the advent of antibiotics, a wildly more effective solution to bacterial infections was present. The Cold War meant the Soviet Union had less access, and so needed to continue working on phage research more intensively.

There's a lot of work on phages going on in academia - I don't know about the startup world, TBH. I think some of the most promising leads are in combination therapy. It appears that treating with phage can push bacteria back into susceptibility (basically, two selective pressures at the same time), which is a cool idea. But the gap phage has to jump from "Interesting bespoke one-time treatments" to a generalizable treatment is a pretty big one. My expectation at least in the medium term is they'll be supplemental treatments for a few well known conditions where you can maintain phage libraries for them.
> When the power of the state stepped in to force the pregnancy to continue, they took responsibility for the life of the person.

If the state stops someone from killing me, do they take responsibility for my life from then on too?

> Do you believe that people should be able to have sex without getting pregnant? Is preventing the fertilization of the egg an acceptable way to prevent the "intentional killing of a baby"?

I think both of those should remain legal.

> Should the power of the state enforce your belief about contraception?

No.

> Is preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall acceptable?

No. Once the egg gets fertilized, it's too late for contraception to work, and anything from then on that appears to be contraception is actually just a very early term abortion.

> Should the power of the state step in here?

Yes.

> At what point in the act of intimacy should the power of the state be enforced?

Once conception (i.e., fertizilation) has occurred.
Sure, all the time. Very bad ones. So far the worst seem to end up on my website and the best are never finished. Ah well. They are therapeutic to write, and I don't get the sense that I really need this activity to be performative in nature. So unfinished is mostly ok.

>There isn't a physical problem with taking wealth away from people, that part is very easy to execute. The problem is the 2nd order effects where it will turn into an unfair confiscation and do substantial damage to the ability of the host country to invest and prosper, bringing general ruin to us all.

But this does not apply to us when we seize Russian assets? By your very logic if seizing wealth is so problematic, well we just seized a whole lot of wealth. I don't think this example actually works here.

This probably is the reason for why they go down the path of changing the logos.

But why they look similar is because, in the past logo drafts used to be hand-drawn by artists and now its being done by digital artists who first start with available library of fonts.
Just having a share certificate doesn’t make it s bearer form. The corporation would have to set up this ahead of time.

On this forum, we are mostly geeks and nerds, we like sci-fi/fant stuff, and we usually have strong opinions on adaptations of said stuff.

I think we are seeing a potential for fans enabling authors to have a much greater control of the whole process, and I hope it leads to better adaptations.
That plugin’s handling of undo drove me absolutely nuts! It would randomly decide to eat the entire undo stack when I accidentally mixed the native cmd+z with using u to undo. At least I think that’s what happened… I was never able to reproduce it on command, though. It would happen unexpectedly, and often would destroy a whole swath of text that was then impossible to get back.

I switched to the vscode-neovim plugin which works better… at least, it doesn’t do this undo thing, and it’s faster. But it’s not entirely perfect either and lately the command/insert/cursor location has been bugging out.
I'm sure they suck for plenty of reasons (eg. price gouging from lack of competition), but I'm not sure how those reasons relate to this outage. For instance I can imagine that a country with a more diverse telecommunications sector would be less vulnerable to a single provider going down, but this argument doesn't really pan out. I looked up how the market share is broken up in european countries[1][2] and they're roughly split 3 ways between 3 major competitors, which is similar to how the market share is split in canada. If there was a major outage with a major provider in germany, the impact would be roughly the same as with canada.

Overall comments like this feels like a case of "maligned entity is in the news for some reason, so let's bring up all the other reasons we hate them" to me.

Your opinion presupposes abortion is a medical procedure and not a murder and ever larger percentages of the population would disagree with that categorization the closer to term a pregnancy is.

You also don't seem to have a good grasp on how the constitution works. It has a mechanism for amending itself so it is most appropriate to interpret it in an originalist framework. That is usually interpreted as meaning what the people who wrote it likely meant or, if referring to something in common usage at the time, then the modern item currently in common usage or likely to be in common usage. Abortion was illegal at the time of writing the constitution and also at the time of writing the 4th ammendment and stayed illegal for many decades following so there is no way they meant that procedure was protected by the constitution, it was and is very clearly the purview of the state legislatures (or you can amend the constitution). This is why overturning roe was the right thing to do even if you strongly support the legality of abortion, as I do.
Only if you ignore all the compiler extensions, that everyone that doesn't care about reading the standard, thinks are part of C.

Get ready for K&R compatibility removal on C23, with improved generics, type inference and lambdas probably landing on C26.

C is actually a good example, given that it shares authors with Go, which at the time also decided to ignore what systems programming languages have been doing since 1958 outside Bell Labs.

At that point, I couldn't see it in incognito windows, but I could still edit and delete it. So far everything made sense. A few minutes after that, "[flagged]" went away and I could see it in incognito windows again, but now I can't edit or delete it anymore, even though I'm still well within the 2-hour window. What happened here?

The concept of municipal internet is widely liked (ie. "let's put the government in charge of internet rather than greedy corporations"), so that accounts for a lot of the positive reception. Meanwhile municipal internet services are local by their very nature, so when there's some sort of outage it's not widespread enough to get nation-wide coverage.
