Ask HN: How to get un-shadow banned on Twitter?
Has anyone else here experienced this? (I know many people did!)

So I suspected this for a while but I finally confirmed it - I was shadow banned; to my understanding this is likely because I opened a bot (commands on @mention) account with same mail/phone or whatever.

This is worst than actual banning. I've been living in the shadows for who knows how long.

Recently I gained some momentum - one of my threads (same handle, @high_byte) got relatively viral and I doubled my followers overnight. (from 300 to almost 600 lol)

But still I am invisible to the world. support@twitter.com auto-replies with basically "we don't answer via email". Their support page has only Q&A and no contact information. This should be illegal!

What can I do?
We need a do-not-disturb mode, for collaboration

Reusability is a mirage. If you have a monorepo, you don't need to care about reusability outside of that context. Unless you're creating components to be shared with the world, the tight coupling is a benefit, not a disadvantage.

Not to say 'spaguetti' code is not an issue, but these are a little bit orthogonal to each other. It's very easy, for example, to grow complexity two/three-fold by trying to make a component more generic and reusable before the actual need arises. And when it does, the original interface you predicted is rarely a good fit.
It is windier in the winter months, so what is needed is geographical decoupling through interconnections. Then overbuilding and curtailment definitely is a workable solution.

The Baltic sea is also definitely workable for off-shore wind. Not to the level of the north sea but not that far off.

The linked document provides even more shocking cases:

> The article provides additional examples of adult women who had sex with teenage boys and were able to collect, despite the fact that conception occurred during an illegal statutory rape.

> A jury in Wisconsin found that a woman had given a man a date rape drug and that "Daniel's sexual intercourse with Jennifer was involuntary," but the woman was still entitled to the same level of child support revenue as any other plaintiff in Wisconsin.

> The article describes that "An appellate court in Illinois reached a similar result in Phillips v. Irons. In that case, Dr. Richard Phillips and Dr. Sharon Irons began a dating relationship, during which time the couple engaged in oral sex on three occasions. … unbeknownst to him, Irons used Phillips’s semen (obtained from oral sex) to successfully inseminate herself." The mother, a married physician, was able to collect child support.

Assume you have the conversation of billions. Its pretty easy to design "Virtual experiments", that just play out or have played out as life plays out.

Select from Everyone

//Filter the Environment with constraint to avoid polution

where(Person.isAlcoholic and Person.Age.inRange(12,49))

//Define experimental condition

experimentOutcome(State.Change(Person.isAlcoholic) upon Person.Graph.Depth(1).Death)

Gets you all acoholics quitting after death of a nearby relative.

That way, you get almost pure data and archieve what neuro sciences and psychology could never dream off. To really know people better then they even ever knew themselves.

So sad, as this is "steering" technology, we will never get to see it. We do not even get to contemplate its existence.
You really, REALLY don't wan't to contextualize filesystem case sensitivity. Either it's case sensitive, either it's not.
The rest should be the least surprising in all cases: either conform to long age practices (unix, windows, case sensitive fs or not), or kept behind flags, and then you have the UX for general users (eg. files browser), in which whatever the least surprising for a picked lower bar of computer literate will do.

> Looping literally means every lesson you teach will be your first time teaching it.

I don't think that's literally true, even if you're correct that looping for more than a year is suboptimal. A proportion of teachers are teaching a curriculum for the first time even "without looping" (i.e. looping for only a year). With two-year looping, teachers only take a year longer before they're teaching a curriculum they've taught before.

Is there any advantage in looping for less than a year (e.g. changing teachers each semester)? What's the optimal amount of looping?
Good think you left greek off the list, otherwise you'd never get anywhere in statistical reasoning.

ceteris paribus, technical terms are obscure to people outside the field. Using them well is a nice way to bring people into the field, and to signal that you mean the term in a very specific context.

And that paragraph is one of the worst uses of "ceteris paribus" I've seen. For one, I'm not even talking about economics. And only tangentially about holding some variables constant while changing others.

Wouldn't crossing these tipping points also accelerate toward more warming? Like the thawing of permafrost in the northern regions would possibly release a huge amount of methane, creating a greater greenhouse gas effect.
I've always been confused by this, as a lot of European countries provide really good forecast data for free for anyone to use. You would assume that a company the size of Apple would be able to integrate with more than a single provider.

>But in videogames, correctness matters barely at all.

This is pretty weird blanket statement or rather it very much depends on what kind of game you are making. If you are making a casual single player experience then having glitches isn't that big of a deal. However if you want to make the next e-sports game then glitches matter a lot more especially if they can be abused to gain power - be it actually powering up your character in some way or having (near) invincible position.

Another aspect many game devs ignore is speed running. Having glitches in a single player game might not be that big of a deal for normal playthroughs, but many games have had long lives after their initial release as people want to speed run them and there glitches matter. If your game is broken it can create situations where speed running isn't fun.

I don't understand this one :

Why do people like that kind of syntax? I know it's more symmetrical, but what personally bothers me is that it's grammatically incorrect. We're already used to placing colons right after words, so why change it?
Precedence is written down, I find it acceptable. It’s a good way to make sure the “constitution” evolves.

Multiple persons above refer to “constitution” as being a set of “beliefs”, “values” and “traditions”, I was pointing out that this is not a good solution in my view.

Not necessarily. A lot of developers despise the idea of using git GUIs, but e.g. GitKraken makes rebases - even with conflicts - a breeze.
It was DVD, but yes. :)
But you don't really need rebasing in this case, right? Merging the main branch into the feature branch would work too, and it's not too difficult.

Still outside. It's our thoughts about them, models, and concepts that are in the brain.

Plus, even if it was true, this wasn't the parent's point (that things exist in the brain while we're reasoning about them). His point (also wrong) was that different architectures must exist as structures in the brain (not as concepts we think and memories etc., but as parts of brains matter organization and wiring) for us to be able to reason about it.

Git does not solve the issue of accidental complexity introduced by branching.
Since we are exchanging arbitrary statements: If you need branches outside the realm of libraries with multiple supported versions, you're doing something very, very wrong. "Feature branching is a poor man's modular architecture".
And I'm pretty confident about my git-fu.

Agree on the testing, though, unless you're doing horrible generated cruds it is usually faster to write tests than not.

Yes - Twine is for what's called "CYOA" (after the old Choose Your Own Adventure book series) or "choice based" interactive fiction. That type of IF has its origin in gamebooks, and generally consists of sections of text that you move between by picking from a list of choices ("to open the door turn to section 223, to run away turn to section 543", that sort of thing). Digital tools can add more dynamic elements, but generally it's rooted in the experience of reading/playing a Fighting Fantasy or Choose Your Own Adventure type gamebook.

The other main type of IF is the "parser" kind - that's the Infocom style where the UI is a bit like a command line, you type arbitrary commands, and get dynamic feedback. The main tool used nowadays for making that type of IF is Inform 7, though there are others.
"Kick-ass" (in use since 1970 according to Merriam) is a similar construction, though used as an adjective and not a noun.

"Telltale" and "taleteller" are a case of both forms existing in parallel:

Verb-noun constructions like this also exist in French; e.g. a "porte-avions" is an aircraft carrier.

Uh-oh, some anti-literacy infants have modded me down. Up with ignorance, right?
Well I picked the 5600G because it was advertised as 65 W (well and because it allows me not to decide on a video card yet). Your CPU is advertised as 105 W. TDP is a lie these days but the lying should be proportional :)

At a quick google, the 6600 xt idles at 4W with one monitor but at 20 W with two! Plus whatever extra power the motherboard needs to keep that pcie slot active.

Two extra ssds may consume little but that can be like 4-5 W more. It all adds up.

The big problem with Global warming is that it's a feedback loop. The main cause of warming is warming, despite the massive human CO2 production. Even stopping human CO2 production all together would slow global warming, bringing it back to 2 degrees over 1000 years or so, instead of 100. Even that would be a lot faster than the natural rate. Earth heats up, then you get an ice age, then it heats up again, that's the natural cycle.

The point of climate policy is not to stop global warming, in the sense of cooling the planet in an absolute sense. It's to slow it down, cooling it in a relative sense.
I'm not talking about arrests.
As a counterpoint, there are plenty of people here in the UK legally treating anxiety with cannabis, who do so because it greatly helps them.
>> HF = hydrogen flouride

> otherwise known as hydroflouric acid. nasty stuff indeed:

Technically hydrofluoric acid is hydrogen fluoride dissolved in water.

But yes, nasty stuff, and that fine distinction doesn't matter when HF gas spreads through the air, meets biology and immediately turns into the acid on contact.
It's all the same and that's good.

It is actually a fundamental insight. The same principle explains why the cortex has developed functional areas, and the advantages of mylenation.

It also underlies Dunbar's rule on group sizes and how organizations scale.

The point is exactly as you say, everyone does NOT need to speak to everyone else-- but you then have to structure the communication channels. This is a different challenge in a 15 person org than a 3 person org. Let alone a 150 person org.

If you've ever been on a team which went from 5 to 8 people, you've seen this play out. God help you if the team crosses 15 people and you don't realize this triggers a phase shift.
Every time you have a local working copy, you essentially have a feature branch. Their local modifications and your local modifications can be incompatible - pushing to the same branch only moves the problem to “who pushed first”. At least with separate branches, you can observe their changes and pull them in at a suitable time.

Every place were money is involved longterm becomes a ecosystem, with prey, preyed-upon, parasites and a balancing ecology, reducing the possible effectiveness.

A companys maximal performance is limited by this internal eco-system and its external eco-system. There can be short term gains as the system spins itself appart, but there is a peak antelop even for the most well adapted lion.
My comments:

> When connecting to the internet required calling the ISP with a modem, it was
possible to encrypt the whole call

Assuming this is talking about MPPE for PPP, it's completely broken[1].

> if the server also has (and it probably will have) a trusted connection to the public internet and the route of the packages between the server and the user's ISP is known.

Trustworthy connections to the public internet don't really exist. Routes can be changed via BGP hijacks at any time[2].

> Often the route of the packages is also completely known (for example in intranets)

Intranets are almost always vulnerable to MitM via ARP spoofing[3].

> Are we encrypting a wrong protocol?

This point argues that it is wasteful to wrap end-to-end encrypted messages with HTTPS/TLS. Given how regularly people botch implementing things like that, HTTPS/TLS provides a useful safety net - and the overhead is negligible.

> there is nothing wrong with self-signed certificates as long as the browser actually shows the relevant information (the public key etc.) so that the user can make sure that the other end of the connection really is what it claims to be.

The vast majority of users cannot do the "making sure" bit suggested here. Of those who can, the vast majority (including myself here) don't.

> Allow using the site with retro hardware.

This can be solved with a proxy.

> some [...] cannot afford a newer, more modern device. Continually imposing new technical requirements for accessing the site may be discriminating against these people.

I expect that the vast majority of devices less than 10 (even 15) years old can run software which can handle modern protocols just fine.

> Let the user decide. [...] Web browsers, and in many cases also servers, should respect the user's choice.

The vast majority of users are incapable of meaningfully consenting to unencrypted connections.

I use to do something similar last few weeks when I refused to read anything on my mother language except of few vloggers which are totally trusted for me. Now I am heavy user of HN and it never lets me feel that I am in a bubble. BTW I stopped using any IM years ago so refusing to consume everything except HN is not a very hard challenge for me.

I think all recommendations based on "personal interests" is evil because there are ultimately good things like Mathematics and ultimately bad ones like gossips. But if you will watch strictly 50% of Math content and 50% of gossip content, the recommendations usually offers kind of 90% of gossip and 10% of Math because gossip is way more popular among others and recommendation algorithms considers Math content as kind of boring. What makes the situation even worse that gossip content is way easier to consume for our brains. So we the people use to consume less content like Math if some high-quality gossip content is offered everywhere and maybe the only way to break this habit is to spend time on resources with totally no gossip content.
It's cool, but seeing this used as label, the first thing I think about it is how easy it would be to use that to confuse the postal service, by changing the address during transportation. And I think for that reason this is probably going to get banned.
