Worth noting that pornhub and other mindgeek properties actually attempts extensive moderation of their platforms and err on the side of caution about complaints on videos.

It’s exceptionally easy to deplatform someone on pornhub as flagged videos are almost instantly removed and put up for review.

They even made the controversial move of only allowing verified accounts to post on pornhub for precisely this reason.

In my area there are a lot of electric city buses in use. AFAIK battery capacity isn't really an issue - they just charge them at the depot and then they're good for a day of use. Regional buses still tend to be natural gas-powered, though.
Isn't "swatting" just the practice of calling 911 and saying e.g. "I'm at [streamer's neighbour's address] and there were gunshots fired at my neighbour's house! Please send armed police!"?

I don't think there's a simple way to stop swatting, though if a streamer/someone else who is a likely swatting target phones ahead of time and asks to be put on a "likely to get swatted, please disregard suspicious calls" list then the police should honour that list (AFAIK there is something like this but it often doesn't help).
How about JECMAScript?

You still get to abbreviate it like JS, use the filename extension ".js", etc.
Armchair only, sorry. Closest thing I've come to regarding brouter sources was wondering about what it would take to add relation names (road names). Because that could not only help route consumption (better turn instructions), it would also enable adding "road change" penalty to the rules: currently that's only based on direction change, which causes trouble in mountain environments where steep straight connections exist: the turn penalty affects the gentle switchback climb/descent harder than the undesirable straight.

Simpler is a culturally conditioned subjective value judgement rather than a scientific one and therefore it expresses an opinionated view. It may be more correct to say it is a more systematic script.

The benefits of Kiwifarms existence outweigh its cons, and I say this as someone who greatly dislikes the site after having used it for an extended amount of time. The site has and still discovers, documents, and reports criminal and disgusting activity, from bestiality to the grooming of children online by extremely predatory, mentally ill individuals, and it provides a platform for uncensored speech as well as the dissemination of media that had and continues to be censored on mainstream websites.
Thanks! The main reason we wrote ipfs-nucleus was to add access control at the block level. It also let us keep it super simple and thus reduce attack surface.
There's a difference in that the termination procedure this thread and the one its derived from talks about is about fraud, which is defined by law and prosecuted, rather than an opinion. When you learn about fraudsters using your service you can either GTFO as soon as possible or get involved with the police unless you want to risk criminal liability for being complicit.

Make whatever Kiwifarms does illegal and Cloudflare will probably drop them through their magical detection algorithms alone.

Those do appear to be literally identical to my eyes as well. I made a similar gif of those: https://p.mort.coffee/UIt.gif -- I can only see the noise shifting around a little bit.

I am no fan of kiwifarms, I have my own reasons to hate that site but I also strongly support free speech so I simply don't visit. That's changed for the past month because keffals decided to open another pandora's box.

Anyone not only getting their info from keffals + supporters can see that this was a coordinated attack. A anonymous call from someone claiming to be a KW member swatting a politician prone to jumping the gun, a dormant account posting a threat that keffals supporters caught immediately and paraded around twitter, that causes matthew prince to cut off KW soon after.

Not only is this a bad precedent to anyone who hosts content that rejects keffals lifestyle choices but this gives many pro-censorship politicians ammunition to push more moderation of the internet while the progressive types continue to do exactly what they claimed kiwifarms was doing.

I wanted to love Haskell, but I've come to realise that a language is more than just expressivity and clean abstractions. UX quality of tools, library ecosystem and general support networks are equally important. I know I could spend some spare time to improve these things, but I can't shake the feeling that since nothing seems to have significantly improved in the last twenty years, Haskell might have just missed the boat. FWIW I'm not a particular fan of Go or Rust, but I really enjoy the overall development experience of using those languages.
Um... did you just say that the accusations against MindGeek are baseless? The accusations are very much based in fact.
That's very interesting actually! Today it's tempting to think that you only need 26*2 glyphs for the entire alphabet (although with ligatures that's not quite true either), but back then they probably still felt the need to more faithfully emulate hand-written books? That would explain that there are several variations for the same letter?

Megalomania: obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others
Been programming on and off for 15 years +, mostly for personal stuff like websites, or scripts at work. I have a basic level. Got rejected from CS school when I was 18 because of my math level (can be relevant in my country), ended up in marketing and now product management -- pretty bored of what I do. All I really want to do is sitting on a CLI and solve problems with code all day long, yet to do that I need to make a drastic life change and quit, re-learn the basics (self-learning is good but I need interactions with mentors/experienced devs) then kind of restart professional life from scratch (with 1/4th of my current income, which will affect my family). This is so hard to make as a decision. This article definitely helps and is encouraging because I thought my time had past. Anyone else having similar 'issues'? Do you think it's worth attempting to become a developer these days, coming in with a product background, or is this a fantasy, that I should keep as is?

You are comparing 80s tech to now? Where we literally have high performance electric vehicles that cost less to run than their lower performance gas cousins.

It’s not arrogance to point out the obvious cognitive dissonance Toyota is experiencing, it’s stubbornness on Toyotas part to not acknowledge what is happening.

My guess is Toyota has done the math and as a volume car supplier it could never secure enough BEV materials to make the kind of volumes it needs to to maintain its current sales, so it’s betting / hoping on an alternative.
That's false equivalence on your part. Downgrading a violent threat to compare it to shit-posting is logically incorrect. The website points out that it took Facebook 29 minutes to ban a live-stream of an active terrorist attack, a social media platform who has enough money to do better. A forum with volunteers monitoring taking down a threat in around 1 hour is incredibly quick.

1) They're not the same kind of loops though

2) They're not primitives. It's very much possible to build for and while loops from elements in the Haskell standard library, because you have more powerful primitives to work with. Most languages have loops as primitives.

There is a whole industry of selling "Agile" to corporations that is peddling this shit.

If you are implementing a set process from a book you are by very definition anti-agile.

When I implement agile at companies I don't even call it agile. And the only initial practices are:

* transparency -- you can't fix what you can't see

* improvement loop -- you need to learn from your mistakes and feed the results into next cycle

* process building fundamentals -- once you learned you need mechanisms to preserve the results. Checklists, templates, documentation, automation, infrastructure as code, etc.

Everything else is result of the learning. As we go, we spot problems or improvement opportunities and we decide how to fix it together. A lot of these fixes come from agile literature. Nobody said you have to reinvent everything. But now that we have implemented it in response to our actual problem we know why it is there which is way better than just implementing it without understanding.

Along the way people learn they have power to change things in a realistic way and not only they are welcome to do so but it is actually their job. Which is exactly the goal of all of this and yet completely missing when you put forward a book and say the process has to be implemented exactly as in the book.

I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but the point still stands. Git diff and git status even with color are practically impossible to read and understand past a couple changes, and if it's across multiple files and code being re-arranged it's hell. And getting a junior to wire up a GUI diff tool to display and show those items? Impossible. Also, getting juniors to commit parts of a file or only a subset of them? Again, impossible.

Maybe you work with a higher/better caliber of juniors than I do. At this point, I'm seriously contemplating being a mean dictator and forbidding commits outside of a dedicated GUI until they can prove their adeptness at using the CLI, which they should learn on their own time.
Exactly that - take a look at YouTube and you'll see many channels that were thrashing the series even before release, for that exact reason.
To add to this, as a German, the future of Uber does not look great in Europe as well. The taxi lobby is strong here, and I’m sure regulations will come in countries like Germany and will affect negatively their business. And they're starting to face stronger competition from other companies like Bolt.
Organizing harassment campaigns and planning acts of violence, the bread and butter of Kiwi Farms, is not free speech. This website is accountable for the deaths of at least three people. They should have been de-platformed sooner.

We cannot simply accept "free speech" as a value without question: it has to serve an underlying purpose as a tool with which our values are enacted. The purpose of free speech is to serve the best interests of society against bad actors, i.e. governments, who would use censorship to centralize power. Defending hate speech and organized violence contradicts the underlying purpose of free speech as a value in the first place.

Free speech absolutists fail to see through the tool to the values beneath, to the detriment of society.

Can you not slowly rotate over time in your current company? Or just interview at other companies and ask, saying you want to start in product management and see if they have any tracks or internal processes to help people move departments. I know that they do it in a lot of companies, even the one I am in which is around 75 people. There are tracks to move between departments if you're interested.
Nah it’s probably that they had multiple matrices to cast more types faster.

You only need 62 glyphs for a basic Latin alphabet including case (although gutenberg’s german would require a few more), but you need a lot of copies of each to lay a complete page, and they’d lay multiple pages per sheet.

Not to mention because character frequencies are not equal you need a lot more of some than others so you might have a multi-type matrix of just Es in order to cast enough of those for your needs in a reasonable time frame.
As a layman, it still blows my mind that giant companies can operate at such a massive loss for so long, seemingly without any road to profitability.

Mobility startups in particular keep failing, and new ones keep getting funded.

My daft question is why? Why do they keep betting on the same losing horse.

I often joke that my humble little website is massively more profitable than a few of those companies combined.

Same here, and I just took an online test to verify.
I guess by totally you mean the strongest case of a particular kind of colour-blindness, not achromatopsia. Fair enough, I could have said similar. I just wanted to clarify which image is the one they should compare against.

However, if colour-blindness is not so strong for most people, then these articles should depict a lesser form of colour-blindness as well, to more accurately convey the experience. I don't think I've ever seen a post on colour-blindness that did.

That's completely false. There are so many ways to misinterpret any communication.

I've so far learned that it's not even sufficient to be "completely" precise: people will "read between the lines" or simply glance over some words and not give weight to every word you may have chosen carefully. And that's normal in a human communication.

Sweet point to me is having a video call (in remote work) where you are taking notes together and agree on summary points (actions, decisions, any points of confusion and contention...) at the end.

As I didn't really follow the controversy around Kiwi Farms: there have been made quite plausible accusations that the Kiwi Farms are a forum of people for quite some time organizing online hate and harrassment which has lead to swattings, and at least one death.

I think it's the "go big, or go home" mentality. Companies with this strategy are all desperate to get global market share. It's obviously a gamble, and one that can pay off.

Working with the OS-level semaphore seems like a pretty easy counterexample. Its the "least idempotent" thing I can think of in modern programming.

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/sem_post.3.html

-----

In fact, multithreaded synchronization in general is non-idempotent. You don't want to send a synchronize signal twice, you need to send it exactly as many times as necessary. (Ex: mutex lock / unlock, which is probably the simplest version of a sempahore that you can get. Semaphore of size 1)
I don’t necessarily disagree, but what does banning them from Cloudflare achieve?

Is it just that the company feels unconfortable providing them any kind of service given the nature of the currently posted content?

Because banning them should have no effect on their ability to generate/serve that content, maybe make it a bit more expensive (though I see that their site is still blocked, so maybe immediately disabling Cloudflare isn’t an option for them either)
> The longer I am a software engineer the longer I begin to understand that the soft skills are much more important than all the technical skills

believe it or not,this is not a revelation.

In our field survival bias is very strong and it's easy to draw conclusions from "these are the books that successful CEO read"

I have been programming since 35 years ago and professionally for 26 years, soft skills come up a lot when talking with people with a background similar to mine.

I have worked on the technical skills more than the soft skills at young age and once I've reached competence I realized that improving soft skills could be of some help, given I was confident enough with the core business of my job.

The reality is IMO that a lot of people lack both the competence and the soft skills, but those with the soft skills, being more likeable, are more easily remembered, also because they usually are able to understand on their own if they aren't proficient enough for the job and leave on good terms.

But you need those technical skills if you wanna climb up the ladder, even a little bit, because the more you learn, the more you understand how much you don't know and how much things are intertwined with each other and that there's no wall between a set of skills and another. Sometimes philosophy can help solve a software problem or applying rigorous logic can help with social issues.

By hit on I meant attending with the goal of finding a romantic relationship. Even if you think you’re doing that subtly it’s not the goal of these events. The general advice of cultivate interests and meet new people is great but just divorce that from the expectation of finding romance. In particular targeting activities because of the expectation of increased romantic success seems particularly weird.
