Ideally, there should be redundancy in servers, too.. With different hardware, on different sides of the planet, on different service providers.
Everyone is human and everyone has bad days. In “learn to deal with it” what you’re really learning to deal with is the fact that humans are imperfect and every time you erupt when someone else is erupting is a recipe for disaster. Sometimes you have to deal with problems or inconveniences in order to not cause bigger problems

That falls under my personal definition of "torpedo".

In Sweden you can actually do that before you’ve won the court case. If a lower court rules that you have a legal right to payment, then you can collect on that even if the other party appeals to a higher court. (They can then of course do the same to you if they win the appeal.)

But this is taking it a bit far IMHO. It’s confusing to me at least that a court order is not final (“has not yet won legal power” as we say in Sweden), but can still be used to force payment through the authorities (Kronofogdemyndigheten).

You’re asking how to keep a candle lit after all the wax has been burned. You can’t. Stop trying to relight it or you’ll end up burning down the house.

What defines a burnout is reaching the limit. You need to rest, not to double down. The harder you push, the harder it will be to recover.

The question should instead be which steps can you take to stop the current situation from getting worse and what can you do to recuperate. Answering that requires context.

Who do you think had the best perspective on the situation? The person who went through the litigation, had lawyers, knew all the details of the case and made the decision of the poster sending a canned five lines reply based on a paragraph?

It does take much awareness to realise that sending an abrasive reply when you are in no position to do so might be ill received by the community (well at least the quickly diminishing part who wants to have an interesting discussion).

There are plenty of industrial languages with algebraic data types and immutability. Not as many as I would like with purity but I doubt it will take 30 years.
I think the linked submission explains it clearly enough (no snark intended). Here is a cut-n-paste from it (3rd paragraph)

According to the indictment, the devices the Pro Network Entities imported from China and Hong Kong were typically older, lower-model products, some of which had been sold or discarded, which Chinese counterfeiters then modified to appear to be genuine versions of new, enhanced, and more expensive Cisco devices. As alleged, the Chinese counterfeiters often added pirated Cisco software and unauthorized, low-quality, or unreliable components – including components to circumvent technological measures added by Cisco to the software to check for software license compliance and to authenticate the hardware. Finally, to make the devices appear new, genuine, high-quality, and factory-sealed by Cisco, the Chinese counterfeiters allegedly added counterfeited Cisco labels, stickers, boxes, documentation, packaging, and other materials
Commercial litigation is entirely about pragmatism.

If twitter won and was in the position to compel performance, is that even in the best interest of the company? To force it upon an unwilling owner would be the best way to destroy it in very short order as they desperately attempt to recoup their costs.

Far more sensible, with an enforceable order in hand, to come up with a negotiated settlement. Far easier, as well, with a nuclear option.
It's not just the potential impact upon markets. Shareholders of that size have legal obligations as well. If you own that much of a company you are specifically and legally precluded from selling it all at once in many circumstances. Bill Gates could not sell his entire Microsoft stake all at once back in the day into an open market as it might cause the security to drop significantly and for other, legal reasons. Certainly, the securities exchange act of 1934 requires disclosures of certain sales of shareholders above a certain percentage of shares of publically traded companies, but also more nuanced and exacting laws regarding national security interest prohibit the sales of securities and ownership to specific parties or foreign interests. When the scale of your ownership stake is in the billions, that certainly limits the potential buyers of the entire stake to a short list.
This is really amazing, and can allow for niche communities to build up "useful links" that can be easily searched, WITHOUT having to use outside search engines.

>There are several forms to control the search engine. There is no central form linking everything together, just a collection of different folders that you can rename if you want.

Maybe a good addition would be /admin/ that links all of the admin functions.

What do you mean? There are small effects for the depression and WW2. I would argue that the nuclear threat and the cold war really only started to have a significant impact on the overall psyche of societies after the 70/80s. The peace movements really only started in the early 80s (except for the opposition to the Vietnam war which is actually reflected in the record). The 50/60s were generally characterised by an broad optimism and believe in the future (look at all the things they thought we could do).

More generally you seem to dismiss the work largely because it does not match your preconceived notions of what should have been major effects. Maybe the question is to ask why they might not have. Or at least bring up evidence that they had a great impact on the language used.
If you'll indulge me for a moment, I have a story to tell:

Many years ago, I had this idea of creating a documentation tool for my hobby projects that was based on Awk.

I liked Doxygen, but it was a bit heavy duty for a small C library with only a handful of functions. You could almost guarantee that Awk would be available on the system where you might be compiling the project, so you could just bundle the awk script with your sources, add two lines to your makefile and have HTML documentation ready to go.

Now I had never heard of Markdown at this time; It was before StackOverflow or GitHub was a thing (perhaps they existed, but I haven't used them yet). Therefore my syntax was a crude markup scheme that was difficult to explain and didn't always work correctly.

Skip forward a couple of years and I had the bright idea to rewrite the script to rather use a Markdown syntax. This ended up being one of those hobby projects that you never really finish, and it grew organically to include all sorts of Markdown features. The result of that effort is now on GitHub [1].

Where does Markdeep fit into all of this? Sometimes when I stumble upon a project on GitHub that I find interesting, I click on the author's name to see what other repositories they have that looks interesting. One day I browsed GitHub like that and stumbled upon user r-lyeh's `stddoc.c` file [2].

It is a C program that simply extracts the comments from your source file and appends the Markdeep tags to the end. If you save the result to a HTML file, you achieve the same result as my script, except the implementation is much much simpler.

I nearly fell off my chair when I realised that all the effort I put into my own script was basically made useless(*) by Markdeep. Instead of parsing the markdown, I could rather have had Markdeep do all the heavy lifting, and it comes with a bunch of very nice features that I doubt I'd ever be able to implement in my own script.

good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. this means, hopefully that bugs that the linux community was used to, because everyone knew it and didn't bother fixing are getting fixed because linus managed to break Pop os in the first command.

stuff like what kde is doing with their "15-Minute Bugs" are great initiatives. this will definitely help the overall linux software become more rugged and idiot friendly
There's two problems.

Many UIs today are objectively bad and unintuitive (like the Gmail example in the article). UIs should always strive to eliminate the "don't know what you don't know" quadrant: common sense should be enough to navigate the system safely. Perfect examples are the Gmail example in the article, or the "hanging up the phone doesn't hang up the phone" problem of landlines[0] where you can do "everything right" and still get scammed. The judgment metric here is whether a decently intelligent people could fall victims to these; they can, so they're objectively bad UIs. They violate common sense.

Then there's another group, that severely struggles with computing abstractions. (These can be perfectly smart people in other areas). They can have slightly degraded motor skills and end up swiping or tapping inadvertently and getting lost. The kind of people that thinks a locked phone is "turned off". That get confused when Control Center or Notification Center show up, because the swipe was inadvertent and they don't understand the abstraction ("where did my video go?").

It is utterly impossible to design the same UI for this group of people and for everyone else. For them, you'd ideally permanently dedicate a fifth of the screen to a never-changing menu, with common operations (copy, paste, switch app, see notifications, check email, find app). For most people, menu bars would be terrible on phones and tablets since they'd need to be always visible, and big enough to be tappable, and would waste collosal screen space; but some people would prefer that.

The UI would need to have a permanent banner that explicitly labels the UI context, essentially a "permanent tutorial mode" that explains computing abstractions, for example with a banner that says "YOU ARE CURRENTLY VIEWING RECENT NOTIFICATIONS. [GO BACK]" (otherwise, you get inadvertent swipes, and "hey, where'd my video go!").

Designing "one UI for everybody" is hopeless. This is an obvious accessibility issue; and I don't understand why no company is building optional "tutorial modes" into their UIs since I'd assume the amount of people struggling with computers is a lot higher than the amount of blind or paralyzed people.

About once a year I see a cool new programming font and decide to try it out. Then, shortly after, I invariably switch back to DejaVu Sans Mono.

I suspect that if I gave myself more time to acclimatize to the new font, I might even grow to prefer it. That, or perhaps DVSM is simply the perfect font for me.

I think Logto will be good at “standalone identity service”, which means you can delegate all the sign-ins and user identity issues to Logto. (Just like SSO)

So you can have only one Logto installed, and add multiple “API resources” (for apps with a dedicated API service) and “applications” (for traditional web apps or your native/spa clients) in Logto. No matter they are remote or local, VPS or SaaS.

The logic is simple:

- for clients and traditional web apps, when it detects user is not signed in, use SDK to redirect to Logto

- for API services, add a middleware function to check if the request holds a valid token

If you’d like to connect a third party identity provider, “connectors” will be your friend.

These cases are covered in the docs.

I visited San Francisco in June 2013 and worked at an office for a month. I had a habit of browsing HN and Twitter during the working hours and from the work computer. I was also very productive. Always got things done. Days go by and I observe people working. I realized that many people would spend time on social media only when they were having lunch and were extremely productive the rest of the day. I thought to myself “If I am working then what these people are doing and if they are working then what is it that I am doing?”

I seriously questioned myself and made a decision. No more social media on the work computer and during the working hours. Ever since then I am only reading HN and Twitter when I am on my phone when I am on a break. I haven’t even realized HN was down.
Could you please suggest one native android client?
In theory accepting 44B minus the current market value as a settlement is equal in value to buying it 44B (though I'm sure many large investors might prefer the cash and cash out of Twitter entirely). But yeah 5B wouldn't cut it. Though settling for 5B or 10B or something under the true worth might be worth it if Twitter thinks there's a chance they won't win.
What exactly do you mean by "low level"?

And by "smaller community that focuses purely on what I enjoy", do you mean programming being the only topic of concern? No other tech, no business, no personal life stuff?
I'm not a fan of having my laptop maker's logo plastered on the exterior of my laptop but it is unavoidable these days. The System76 logo on this laptop is an especially egregious example of this. It alone would prevent me from considering purchasing one. I'll be looking elsewhere next year when I am due to upgrade which is unfortunate because I am a fan of Pop!_OS and would otherwise have considered System76.

Edit: A comment says the logo on the System76 laptop is an easy to remove sticker so this might be a non-issue.

Really neat. There was a maze generation algorithm in BASIC when I was younger that created the maze one row at a time. I couldn't wrap my head around how it was possible to make a maze like that.

Yes I'm not buying an M2 Air for the same reason (even though I love the form factor). I've been looking into DisplayLink but I'm just not confident enough to rely on that.

The single external display limitation is a big downside to some of the M1/M2 machines.
The law is meant to give police a pretense to arrest people recording them and give them plausible deniability; eg "looks like I misjudged the distance". Meanwhile people were still arrested which is a punishment with consequences in of itself. That's in the best case where the charges are dropped, worst case is they have prove it in court with all the associated burdens and costs. Even if they get off, that's still a punishment. And for what? This law isn't needed for any other reason, police already have the authority to clear an area they are working in.
Google books it says so in the article
The rural argument also never made sense because why not just start a nationalized ISP or subsidy that purely serves the rural north? Why sarcrifice the competitiveness of whole countries ISP market for a very small part of the country?

The same argument is used for keeping the postal service public when you could just subsidize the parts of the market that wouldn’t be self-sustaining rather than propping up the entire money-losing crown business. Burning tax dollars at the parcel delivery business in the age of e-commerce is a sad joke.

The whole “rural people are being protected” seems like a cover story for powerful friends of politicians to keep the money train rolling, and regular people eat it up on social media.

Plus Starlink et al has rendered the rural argument moot.
Because there’s no such thing as a regular Thursday at Twitter scale. Any number of things could have happened that Thursday or around it, major world event, Thanksgiving, last day of Ramadan or whatever. And you might have a valid data question regarding these events.

Heck, not only “what happens on Twitter each day of the week” is a very valid data question, but even by the hour.

If he didn’t want to buy it, he shouldn’t have signed a contract saying they are going to buy it with a huge amount of fanfare, several lawyers, and initially against the desire of the company. He knew, well in advance, what he was buying, and he explicitly waived the right to due diligence.

I strongly dislike the trend towards ligatures by default in newer fonts. Maybe it’s because I learned without them, but I find that the readability of code is far worse with ligatures.

Hmm. "A low level of trust between team members" sounds like remote work exposed some big defects in your company culture that should be addressed first. Why did "a lot of the tenured engineers" leave? Why weren't they doing more to mentor the newer ones to facilitate knowledge and "lore" transfer? (And don't tell me it can't be done online, because it absolutely can.)
Having used trait-based generics, I think that trying to piece together what's going on in typenum, the GAT stabilization process, https://hirrolot.github.io/posts/rust-is-hard-or-the-misery-..., num-traits, and variance and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25860 is absolutely bogging me down. I feel (and observe as people try modeling contracts in traits) that trying to build code which plays well with open-ended type parameters is inherently more difficult than building a correct solution for a single type. Generally I'd prefer a more focused less generic solution which corresponds to a single function in the generated machine code (modulo inlining), except in cases where generics (over a small or open set of types) provide a clear benefit (collections are a clear example, IMO point-free .iter().map().sum() style is usually a regression in readability).
Scope highlighting is another rare but slightly more popular highlighting scheme.

I believe they tackle this exact bias. From the Sampling Effects section:

> Second, the choice of CDS n-grams could lead to a "recency bias” in our results, explaining their rise in prevalence in recent decades. We control for this effect with a null model that samples random n-grams more frequently from recent books, due to rapidly increasing publication volume since 1895, thereby inducing a bias toward more recent language. We observe increases of CDS n-gram prevalence well above levels predicted by this null model

"whereby they think about themselves, the world, and the future in overly negative and inaccurate ways."

I wonder how they ensure that the standards they set for accuracy and the "right" amount of negativity don't have any bias or inaccuracy. For example, someone's language patterns may match the N-grams because they are being consistent with the language patterns they were taught or exposed to in society, but their actual thinking could be much more nuanced.
