I don't have any factual evidence on the either side (I don't use Twitter at all, I even have Nitter extension to never visit that site even when linked to) - but I absolutely can believe they'd go for "all in" strategy, and keep messing with the feeds even in light of all that. If they felt they have the right and responsibility to control the information and shape the discussion on the Internet, they'd still feel that now, despite all the "mistakes were made" - in fact, they'd probably feel more urge to control things as they feel more threatened. And why not reduce the "misinformation" about their supposed wrongdoings - when all the most truest information about it has been already disseminated by them, why allow "irresponsible parties" to "misinform" the public? Surely it should be stopped. It's the way they always have been thinking, why would they change now?
I use the Livemarks extension just for finding feeds, even though I don't use it as my feed reader
I’m doubtful about this lawsuit. Talk of “dossiers” is extremely hyperbolic.

For those not familiar with it, Oracle’s data platform is effectively a supermarket, stocking the freshest data indexed by “audience” - behavioural interest groups. This data comes from “data providers” - companies who hold data on the behaviours of specific audiences and (are supposed to) have the right to sell it on. They are paid a commission on each sale.

Once you understand this then the lawsuit makes less sense - it’s like suing Safeway because you don’t like the ingredients of Cheez-Its. Now, there’s more to it than that, of course, but “some data providers in the marketplace may have issues” is very different from “Oracle has lawless stack of 5bn of dossiers”.

Our lives are not a democracy, they are dictatorships. You don’t have to “become” anything, you simply are what you are at any given moment, and that’s all you’ll ever be. Just try not to be someone that makes other people want to punch you in the mouth.

There's an interesting caveat to this one - if you rely on sanitizers like ubsan to catch overflow errors, using unsigned won't work. It will happily and silently overflow.

It's been time since I last interacted with a Roomba, so I wasn't aware of these new features (which I perhaps misnamed as services).

The Roomba had (has?) a version that was roboticist-friendly, so perhaps that's why there wasn't reverse engineering efforts. I remember reading that a similar machine, the Electrolux Trilobite, was effectively "hacked" by someone.
This looks great! Will def. use it in my next project. What I liked the most is the introduction of the variants.Pretty big Tailwind user and this is one of the areas where it becomes a little frustrating. I think it's also easy to forget or miss classes in tailwind since I often end up copy-pasting a lot.

100% this. Your boss has a myriad of ways of communicating what they want w/o directly asking.

This is a big reason I've never wanted to go into management. At my level I can just pretend I don't understand the implied ask (heh) if I feel like it. I have a hard skill. Worst case scenario I can get another job. Your levers of power don't work on me.
If you make money when the price goes down then your overall position is short.

The point is that it can be profitable to crash the price even though you're holding the asset at the same time.

If they can actually capture the taste, smell, and texture of bacon I would be highly interested. I'm mostly plant based at this point (except for awkward situations like family events...), but the other day I oversmelt some bacon and boy did those cravings kick in. Nothing like it.

I doubt mushrooms can really capture the bacon experience, though.
A rare exception to Betteridges law: yes, we absolutely should be attempting to form all resource chains into closed loops, instead of digging up finite resources and then polluting finite sinks with them.

Green energy (except nuclear) is inefficient, expensive, irregular, and the money for it goes straight to China and developing nations who mine the rare earth elements. Even Germany finally backed off from de-commissioning their last nuclear plants as the Greens realized it was illogical.

Need to remove red tape, stop controlling prices, de-regulate business, establish free trade agreements, and do all manner of things to increase real productivity and not the government-pretend kind of productivity.

Reality is a tough pill to swallow and it will likely take several years of misery before the obvious solution becomes the only solution.

You're kicking the can down the road. Obviously, an AI is not a person, that's in the premise of the question. What makes an AI so different from a person that warrants differential treatment in this case? It's not that there aren't any good answers to this question, but yours is not much of an answer at all.
It speaks to Parag's character that he's "trying to motivate his people" by doing it in such an unprofessional way.

As far as the "great hacker but a mediocre manager" thing, same can be said of Parag... "good CTO but mediocre CEO".

Oh man this is such a perfect example of productivity porn. Every action you take isn’t a vote for the type of person you wish to become, it is a vote taken by the person you are.

I hate this mindset of “I am constantly working towards becoming someone else”. When do we spend time as the person we are? When do we enjoy the fruits of our labor? I feel like some people who take this mindset see their lives as being two distinct phases… the building/growth phase where you grind and learn and work non stop, and then a later phase that comes after where you enjoy what you built.

I don’t think life works like that, and you will burn yourself out if you do it. Life needs to be built and enjoyed together, through your whole life.

I'd ignore Stross. He's been predicting inflation and famine since Brexit passed.[1] Something about the past decade has broken his brain. Obviously the issues he mentions are worth worrying about, but they're not going to cause the UK or the rest of europe to fall into anarchy.

Hydrofluoric acid, mentioned in the article, is terribly toxic stuff. I can see why he doesn't want to work with it. A drop of the concentrated liquid on the skin can kill. Unfortunately, I think it's critical to the semiconductor industry and there's nothing that could conceivably replace it.
John Oliver supposedly did just this earlier this year: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/apr/11/john-ol...

But there's been nothing on it since. Given how Oliver's show tends to run, I figure the topic will be back towards the end of the season.
The more time moves forward, the closer we are inching to a one-world government.

Non-meat eaters are behind skeumorphic meat alternatives for the same reason car detractors are generally in favour of electric cars.

Moving people away from the old sources weakens the entrenched power of those who benefit from the old way (factory farms and fossil fuel companies, respectively), massively helping with one first-order problem (animal cruelty and carbon emissions, respectively) and opening the way towards further improvements that would have been blockaded by those entrenched powers.
Most of this stuff is extremely useful and intuitive. It's just interested in getting things done and being polite, while addressing specific dynamics you find when working with other people.

Let's take this offline for instance is one of the best linguistic inventions ever IMO. It's so useful to refocus meetings and curtail BS.

I would call most of this just "workspeak" over "corpspeak" (which seems to evoke the "evils" of the corporation). Corpspeak I would reserve for more PR and HR specific domains, which are often actually annoying to listen to.
Some of England's problems are unique to them, but I think the reason those who voted for Brexit did so is that they felt the current deal wasn't working for them. Already, way back then, they weren't on a path to a bright future where there was a house of their own to live in, a job that was a good fit for them and society, a future to believe in.

I believe the same things that fueled Brexit persist as malaise today in England. In the US. Probably everywhere else where regulations allow unregulated profit to be squeezed from the less well off. Rent seeking cultures morally bankrupt and rot from the core.

Anecdotally, I look out from my window, and in the parking lot, there are 7 black, 6 white, 6 gray (of different shades), 3 red, 2 dark blue, 1 grayish blue, and 1 Windows-XP-blue cars. 7 out of 26 are colorful.

I personally like bright color for little objects (pens, ties, socks, etc.), but black and white for the big things (like cars). The small stuff feels like silent, introverted rebellion. But pink cars and bright green houses? It's just too conspicuously salient. There's nowhere to hide. It invites too much attention, and grips so many eyeballs, that it makes me feel naked in a crowd.
No, it reads like a LinkedIn post trying to promote their personal brand.
Green card quotas are based entirely on your country of birth.

For example, a UK citizen can obtain a green card far, far faster than an Indian citizen. If a UK citizen and Indian citizen on an H1B visa start the Green Card process at the same time, the UK citizen will obtain permanent residency typically in 9-18 months. For the Indian applicant, who applied on same day with same visa and process, it will likely be over 10 years before they have security of permanent residence.

Where you were born is built into the foundations of how the USA allocates Green Cards to many visa holders, regardless of who you are, how much you contribute to the USA or earn etc etc.

There are attempts to fix this too:

A variety of other non-software jobs also rely on H-1Bs: See, for instance, lab technicians. A change to highest salaries, while probably way better for the software industry, and applicants in general, would wipe out other sectors.

The system definitely needs fixing, but simple solutions often have all kinds of negative side effects.

Magento CMS will silently hang if you try to perform any query on a tab that's logged out. Default login cookie expiration time is one hour.

iOS keyboard has started suggesting german words in autocorrect. A third of the words I get on swipe input are now worthless. German is not in the languages list on that device. I read a suggestion to uncheck "German" in the dictionaries list. It was indeed checked (Why?? Because I frequently type in my German last name?) but unchecking it did nothing.

Discord app on iOS has a hard crash bug on the emote picker if you type a query that has no results, backspace it, then try to pick one of the new results.

If the message is to be believed (and the source code does agree: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/d32b92bd7a49ce8667b...), the old settings still apply, the new one may default to 'all' but the old settings will override it, so they've avoided turning telemetry back on for those who had disabled it (in fact if you didn't update the settings and for some reason had only turned off one of the telemetry options, they have in fact reduced the amount of telemetry they are getting from you).
What you receive in your email is not email attachments with the backup, but links that starts the download. So no additional storage is being used.

Probably most vegans are converts, raised by meat-eating families, that later decided to adhere to a meat-free diet. The problem is, once your taste-sense and food preferences are conditioned in childhood, it's hard to change them as a adult. So people seek alternatives compatible with what they are used to.

i believe in gift economy and don't agree that extending credit even at favorable rates to the global south is fair. even in your description here you use euphemism to cover the forceful removal of what you in the same paragraph as 'life-changing products'

> life-changing products to people in need ... to have some level of stable income ... the asset can be recovered

they NEED the LIFE-CHANGING asset as long as they can PAY interest. if they default, i guess they don't NEED it.

I agree with the content of this article, but all the same my advice is usually the opposite - for reasons that its author sets out rather well in the table in his follow-up article (https://blog.robertelder.org/signed-or-unsigned-part-2/)

I wrote a little piece about this myself once (http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/c-pitfall-unsigned.html)

I suppose I would loosely characterise my view as

- if your profession is "C programmer" and you really know what you're doing, you probably want to use unsigneds most of the time

- if your profession is something else, e.g. signal processing researcher who has to translate an algorithm to C or C++, you are probably better off not using unsigneds at all.
This is why all of these people who are always predicting collapse or crisis keep getting it wrong...the collapse if and when it happens, will not hit the US first...it is other countries instead like the UK, Lebanon, TUrkey, etc. Yes, the US has problems, but we see over and over that elsewhere has worse problems. Even the UK (inflation), Germany (inflation, dependence on Russian nat. gas), Japan (a recent assassination, bad demographics). The US dollar hit yet another high yesterday.

My team has a use-case that involves a precomputed RocksDB database saved on an AWS EFS volume that is mounted on a lambda with 100's-1000's of invocations per second. It allows for some extremely fast querying of relatively static data. Another process is responsible for periodically updating the database and writing it back to the EFS volume.

It wasn't the platform. As you can see, it took some time, but Trump found a way to do the same without Twitter. Despite all the efforts of Big Tech to control the access to public discussion, they still can't make it airtight, and contain somebody of Trump's caliber. Arguably, they have more luck with people of the smaller caliber though. And that's definitely not a good place. It's not about the specific guy, it's about how eager the Big Social turned out to be to control what we think and what we are allowed to talk about.

Side note: for weekly personal todos and tasks, I have not found a better way than a whiteboard or a piece of paper stuck on the wall.

Hell, we're going to have American, Chinese, and European bases on the Moon and Mars. No wonder we can't tackle collective challenges.

You might like the book, "The Maxwellians".

At a more advanced level, there is Joseph Larmor's 1900 book, "Ether and Matter"[0].

> yields to match or beat chemical farming

Is it true? "Chemical farming" only happened because the yields were better. Much better. What were farmers doing wrong?

This sounds like another "we don't count fallow fields in the divisor" hustle. I'd love to be wrong.

> Pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not needed

How do you control for herd immunity? One pesticide-free field will never see a locust plague, a thousand pesticide-free fields absolutely will.

> government intervention to try to "save" chemical farmers by subsidizing their chemical inputs

Is this really an anti-intervention argument or is it an attempt to frame the absence of steep fines on fertilizers and pesticides as a subsidy?
