I think this is just the start for some bad things are patreon...

This video of execs at Patreon apparently turning a blind eye to employees calling out patreon users that were selling images of underage children: https://twitter.com/TizzyEnt/status/1315626557688483841?s=20...

They also laid off their ENTIRE security team: https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/09/patreon-security-layoffs/
I'm glad to find a like-minded person.

I unfollowed all my friends years ago. If I want to see them, I peek into events we have in common, groups or I go to their feed directly.

My feed is mostly content from pages I enjoy along groups and communities that cover topics which interest me. I have a handful of friends who post about technology or hobbies that are not blocked from my feed.

I have an older account that has a lot of friends in common with my main one but without the blocks. I find its feed to be very painful to use. Photos of people's food, people's pets, people sharing "inspirational" quotes on stock photos, a lot of selfies and people's children. It takes forever to find information about topics I actually enjoy reading about.

I would unfriend those people if it did not come with the social problem of them coming back disappointed asking why I am no longer friend with them. As if social network contacts were actually friends and as if unfriending someone on a social network meant you are no longer friend with them. I also enjoy being able to check up on them every now and them, which I could not do if I were not connected with them due the their privacy settings.
How did the nurse get upset?
For what it's worth, I have 2 CT500MX500SSD1 and two CT1000MX500SSD1 running 24/7 on my unraid server with a consumer grade motherboard, on an external Asmedia ASM1166 controller and they trim just fine.
ko-fi.com seems to morph more and more into a competitor.
@jdmoreira Some of your comments resonate so much with me! I was a web dev in the early 2000s, and was too scared/conservative to join startups or go into business for myself back then...So, for decades i've moved away from develpment and into tech mid-level leadership and/or project management, and always working for medium/big enterprises. Nowadays, i have tons of regret, and wish i could be better at sales in order to have my own *sustainable* business. A couple of years ago i did have a side business for tech consultaning but could not generate enopugh business to sustaion it as my main job...so, here i sti still employed for anoither faceless enterprise using me like a small cog in a big system. I too am the sole provider for my family...so while you and i might have different circumstances and likely different origin stories, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! If there's any silver lining for you and i and others like us....i hear that statistically, contrary to the news/headlines about young folks being the majority of business owners/startup people, actually most people who go into business for themselves do so later in life (in U.S. 50~55). At least i hope that stat is true! Good luck to you and all of us who dream!
I've noticed recently Google image search has gotten surprisingly terrible for some things. I use Bing image search when the Google image search lets me down. Haven't tried Yandex.
I recall discussions of this problem years ago. I did a measure of what percentage of my feed was actual content with friends and it was roughly the same as this current measure. I'll have to go through my comments and find it.
I like the stuff that Frame is doing, but I don't like the way that jack sticks out. I would be happier plugging a dongle into a USB-C port, when I needed it, than having that 'nub' hanging out all the time.

Congratulations for him and his peers for having the opportunity to experience this. I can imagine that this will have a long lasting effect on their minds. It would be great to know what it did with him and the others in 10 years.
> Persevere or pivot? Both are praised in TED talks

For good reason. Wisdom is recognizing which is correct for the current situation. There is no rule that applies to every situation. You have to make a choice and stick with it. Sometimes that means you try something decide it isn't for you. Sometimes you try something and even though you hate it, someone needs to do it so you keep at it - of those sometimes you will turn out to love it in the long run sometimes it was just a job. (it seems to me the only people who actually hate it are justifying a mid-life crisis that turned them to something new - if the mid-life crisis hadn't worked out they would have returned and been happy)
It was extremely spread out timewise but otherwise very tolerant and pleasant. More potential based than experience based. I applied in like april, got a writing question and a coding question split in two parts in may (cobol snippet, loop with conditions to change variables until exit condition is met, answer is all values in order of appearance), then a logic test online. Then in June an on location interview with two people from the bank, hr and manager. Then I had to provide two references, preferably two bosses but I could give a boss and a coworker. Then sign a contract same month. Begin now in september.
I did not know that! That's great actually
In principle, I do like that someone is using spent fuel/MOX and fast reactors.

I like nuclear power but really dont like creating gobs of long lived waste. Recycling the fuel feels like a moral imperative, something we have to do, if we care at all about having a long term future for humanity.
Last I subbed to Carrot it supported a few sources but the darksky API was the best there too. Apple pulling it out of community availability hurts.
Very smooth animations. Impressive work. Are we about to see a bunch of serious web/JS games coming (with Vampire Survivors paving the way?)
Recent survey 62% of Brits support having a monarchy, 22% think we should ditch it for a republic.

Not sure what the problem is with a decidedly popular multi century tradition? I'm okay with this even if you don't like it. The British people could always vote the them out if they actually wanted to.
> I also am increasingly of the opinion that humanity is not wired to connect globally

I view it as similar to the health hazards of widespread cheap calories – it’s not a new problem but we’ve cranked it up to 11 and put a large fraction people on the planet at risk, and approaches which tell people to exercise willpower are basically pointless.

I think the fixes have to be regulatory but seriously question the political will. Facebook was able to avoid any real consequences for their role supporting the Rohingya genocide and if that’s not enough, what will be?

How is this different from Stripe Treasury?
In high school I would do the bare minimum to get an A- (a 4.0 GPA).

A well paying full time job is the adult equivalent. I've not much interest in being super wealthy so the higher possible earnings on entrepreneurship is irrelevant. A stable well paying upper middle class job is a sweet deal.
Played a few minutes of Rocket Bot Royale and it is pretty fun! I'm so happy that since the demise of Flash, games in the browser have only gotten better.
Finally, someone is calling BS on Kurzweil. Praising him, which is the sole source of his “credibility”, has been an in-group signaling in some circles.
I love the Power Glove, it's so bad.
Nintendo Switch, such an impactful device

Valve woke up a little bit too late

Sony made a mistake to abandon the Vita

And Microsoft was stupid to not try, or maybe too scared

Steam deck is too big for me, the switch is the perfect size, I'm still waiting for a proper Switch alternative

I'll probably build it myself
The choice of using totally novel and cryptic names for everything was intentional. The project is ambitious, and aims to do a completely fresh stack, (OS, drivers, network stack, identity, filesystem, etc.). Given that level of ambition, the choice of names was done remind the user that this is not just Unix and TCP/IP re-written, this is a whole new alien OS, based on distinct ideas.

The fact that Arvo (the kernel) doesn't even have a distinction between RAM and disk, or between PCI input and network input, is a much bigger deal than remembering that "Arvo is the kernel".

OP is right that naming can give a false sense of familiarity, so inverting that for things like this makes sense. Create a false sense of un-familiarity, to keep the users paying attention while they learn what they are using. That's been my experience so far, a heightened sense of awareness while reading through the cryptic documentation.
It's probably prohibitively expensive at the moment.
Wow, the jackals are out in full force tonight ;)

Seth Meyers must have been offline for a while ?
As someone else mentioned in the replies, this sounds more of a problem of not having a top level design than a naming problem.

You have bigger problems if your `PaymentService` morphs into the functionality of being a storage or user service.
Many people do. They have a five-person company that does one thing and that you never hear of, either while it's running happily or when it goes out of business.
Who are the target customers of Stripe Treasury? Existing banks who are fully ultra integrated with legacy mainframe offerings?

Who is looking into open a new bank/credit union and like... how much money is needed? How do you compete with Ally or any other "online" bank? How do you build trust and get people to give you their money, and for what benefit to them?
> I am seeing increasing calls for real life identity to be a fundamental part of online presence, especially in places like Twitter where disinformation thrives... Enforcing identity is great at reducing problems for you as long as you’re straight, white, male, and American. For others it’s not quite as clear cut

Requiring online real life identity for the internet is a terrible idea, even for straight while male Americans. For starters, it means handing the internet over to corporations who serve as gatekeepers to approve your participation. I think every one knows the risks of posting as yourself online:

- You are required to dox yourself to participate

- Most sites except Snapchat keep a history of everything you posted, for decades

- Most sites except Facebook require you post to the world

- Some group in the world may take great offense. Because of the above they have plenty of ammunition to come after you

Experimenting with identities isn't just for teenagers. Many people who have suffered abuse don't know who they are so they experiment with anonymous identities to find out who they are. Personal identity changes as well. Say you grew up poor and had the attitudes of your local culture, but then you go to college and find out you have are talented and become an art director at a museum or a finance officer at a corporation. You are essentially a different person at this point. Do you really want people to pull up your posts from when you were ignorant?

My Facebook is as bland as the Hallmark Greeting Card aisle at the local pharmacy because people are forced to use their real identity and thus are afraid to express an even mildly controversial opinion.

But on the other hand, if corps started enforcing real identity, I could see it giving a real boost to alternate networks and web3, so that might be interesting.
I've started using Godot (4.0-alpha) for some hobby game dev recently. In the past I've done a fair amount with Unity and touched Unreal once or twice. Thoughts so far:

Godot is far from perfect. It's definitely more sparse than the others in terms of features. I've encountered some bugs (nothing show-stopping, and it's tough to say how much of that is just from using the alpha version, but it has impacted my flow). There are unfortunate quirks; for example, saving scripts always saves the whole scene, and saving large scenes can pause the editor for multiple seconds, which is a particularly annoying combination. The programming model is heavily OOP. The custom scripting language, GDScript, is a blessing and a curse; its tight integration with the engine comes at the cost of subpar tooling (and of course, just learning a new language with new quirks).

But.

Godot has the distinct feeling of being cohesive. It feels like it was designed by one person, who knows what it takes to make games, and set out with a holistic vision. Everything you might need to do has an answer, or at least a story. You don't get confusing mixed signals from different parts of the interface or from the docs; there's one, intentionally-designed way to do each thing. GDScript has its quirks, but it also has very elegant built-ins for doing engine-specific stuff that would be super clunky in a general-purpose language. Using Godot almost has the feeling of using (good) Apple software; somebody anticipated your needs, and made sure they'd be met. Maybe not in the exact way you would have picked, but in a way that will work, and will fit in with everything else.

That, combined with it being fully open-source, makes it feel like it has good bones. Especially in contrast with Unity - which felt like a growing pile of corpses being tossed on top of each other with each release - it's been so refreshing that it's singlehandedly gotten me back into hobby game dev. I don't feel like I'm wasting my time learning one half-baked API that's going to be replaced with another half-baked API six months from now. For every annoyance or missing feature in Godot, I have faith that things will continue to improve - because they're built on a solid foundation - or that I could at least build it myself if I really needed to.

I believe in the vision and the future of this piece of software. And that makes it feel worthwhile to invest the time learning all its quirks.
Well, yes. Your friends are not paying for placement. If they are, they are "influencers" and you need better friends.
I would expect the brake dust component to go down significantly for full EVs with Tesla-grade regenerative braking. Source: Model S owner. I can go whole trips without touching the brakes. Based on what I've seen, I suspect the FSD would be even more likely to make full trips without using the disk brakes.
It seems like a great tool for financial fraud, phising schemes, laundering. What non-nefarious uses would it have?

Since Musk is the Richest Man in the World, and therefore privy to information you and I can only dream of obtaining, I think we should probably take his WW3 concerns very seriously! This might be the only warning ordinary folks like us get.
> Well, golang is a tough language.

golang is a language designed for fresh graduates to write fast code without much thinking. It isn't tough at all. For engineers that never worked with CSP paradigm, or rather for engineers who only ever work with Java style OOP and concurrency, it might be weird to adjust, and they will spend 3/4 of their time bitching about how much it is easier in language X.
No, this isn't a consequence of the status quo newsfeed algorithm. This is a consequence of Facebook making a purposeful strategic shift away from in-network content to suggested content. This strategic shift was highlighted in their last earnings call as a way to compete with TikTok, whose success is partly explained by their focus on suggested content. On the earnings call, they signaled that they were shifting more to a mix of the two content styles in the coming quarters, but the OP is likely enrolled in some sort of test that is giving them 98%.

See the below excerpt from Meta's Q2 earnings call:

"One of the main transformations in our business right now is that social feeds are going from being driven primarily by the people and accounts you follow to increasingly also being driven by AI recommending content that you'll find interesting from across Facebook or Instagram, even if you don't follow those creators. Social content from people you know is going to remain an important part of the experience and some of our most differentiated content. But increasingly, we'll also be able to supplement that with other interesting content from across our networks. Reels is one part of this trend that focuses on the growth of short-form video as a content format."
And the reason for this is likely that youtube takes at least 30% of the money, while patreon is around 5-8%
Or just better software development practices that can eliminate whole classes of bugs. If the developer was instead in the habit of not putting huge expressions inside if() statements, he might have caught it himself. Consider:

bool condition = /some really long boolean value with AND and OR clauses/;
if(condition); { /* some code to execute if TRUE */ }

Two advantages of doing it this way:

1. It's much easier to notice that incorrect semicolon

2. Even if you don't, you can stick a breakpoint (or log) between when condition is set and when it is evaluated, to convince yourself it works.

3. All modern compilers will produce the exact same code as they produce with it mashed into the if()
I'm still split on which category Adobe (Macromedia) Dreamweaver falls into.
@sjducb Would you be willing to kindly share the type insurance that you referenced here, as well as the name of your provider? If you wish, find my email address in my profile and feel free to share that way. Thanks so much!
It's a bit of a drama with this house key and stuff, it's more like they took your picture when you were victim and later recognized you when you were offender and used address they saved back then to knock on your door.
People who say this have never worked in an enterprise, global software company. Or if they did, they may not be working on key projects.

Just SCALE ALONE is enough to expand a group of engineers a significant amount. A personal project is fine to run 1 AWS or Digital Ocean instance to run the application, database. But global distribution that has to support tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even million+ users concurrently globally? It's a big orchestration of applications and services that requires much larger teams.

Add in payment services and managing those integrations. Then, given that you're a global company and have to operate in multiple countries you have all sorts of regulatory compliance requirements. Who oversees that? Who manages all of these requirements? Not a single dev or a small team.

I love all of the conservative anti-230 agitprop.

I hope they get what they want. For some reason they think if they get it repealed then social media sites will stop removing their bigoted, race-baiting, and/or deliberately misleading posts.

The opposite will happen. Social media sites will clamp down so hard on their Q, January 6th, "so-and-so is a crackhead and/or pedophile", and ivermectin posts that spreading their messages will become impossible.

Can you imagine the liability Facebook would face if every post claiming that "Patriot's Pride colloidal silver endorsed by Alex Jones himself ON SALE now at realmuricanscuringcovid.com" opened them to litigation when some schmuck OD's on it?

Or if every time someone claimed that Fauci had kids locked up in his basement rape dungeon, Twitter could be sued?

I know that conservatives are only using this as an empty threat to apply pressure to corporations, but Internet giants care more about ad revenue than the small minority of crazy-assed weirdos who think they have free speech rights on some other person's property. And they don't want to pay for more lawyers than they have to.

They will terminate with extreme prejudice any content, like antivaxxer bullshit or racism, that threatens ad revenue and will smash with Thor's hammer any content pizza gate or the q bullshit that opens them to litigation.

Like I said, I love it and hope they get what they want.

Maybe, in my dreamland where ALL Sandy Hook (and the rest) denialism and harassment gets the shit sued out of you, peace will reign.
For number 3, I live in a rural part of Minnesota. It's rare to see breast implants even on adult women. I would notice pretty quickly if one of my clients had them as their breasts wouldn't "sit right" in some poses, particularly anything where they're on their back.

For your other points, I'm talking about stick-skinny 17 year olds with very large breasts. Hormonal birth control could be part/all of the reason but it's not from weight gain anywhere other than their bust.
Thanks, that brought back a vivid memory I didn't even know was still knocking around my brain!
