Very interested in using this as a short term solution for launching on Android. Is there a way to see a preview of the app, interact with it, etc. before we pay? Want to verify everything works.
I'm not a fanboy of cut throat capitalism but your take seems poorly thought out. Can you describe in detail how these harmful things would magically disappear if capitalism were no longer the driving force of society? My socialist neighbors can be just as loud and annoying and inconsiderate as my capitalist neighbors.
Only a cunt would censor you for saying "cunt".

Also, I find it funny that "cunt" is considered a gendered slew in the US (according to one of the parent comments). Being a cunt has nothing to do with gender, and everything with a character.
The courts can frown on deliberately choosing mediums that can’t be subpoenaed. For example Musk didn’t provide a screenshot of a Signal he sent; the recipient also received a subpoena and sent a screenshot of the text. Twitter is therefore asking for adverse inference about Musk’s discovery compliance.

But also notice all the times they ask for a phone call, which wouldn’t be recorded (other than that it happened and length). Of course the contents of that call can be asked about in deposition but people lie, misremember, don’t recall, or “don’t recall” all the time in depositions.
Don't worry they just illegally annexed 4 parts of Ukraine. They have something to celebrate until their impending doom.
Look, we'll just get it in this way for now, once it's live we'll have all the time we need to change the schema in the background
What? This is nonsense. You can absolutely run a line of business at a loss.
I'm not choosing the people, there's no overflow of opportunities where I live. Almost always it seems like the ones who handle money/hold political power are toxic, and I need to protect myself from them. Never had any such issue with my friends, so I doubt it's really just about me.
Remember evolution is based on the survival of the fittest. Not necessarily of the smartest.
I'm looking for feedback- suggestions to make it better. I already think it should go from being a Markdown to a structured database and generated site sorted by category.

What other ways can I make this better and more useful for people?
Actually this is the game industry. Very reasonable indie titles die on Steam with sales in the dozens, all the time. Everything is about marketing and buzz, everything. So yes, I think this absolutely has made the game more successful than it would have been given its very-neear-zero median expectation.
How can we read the article on risk.net?
Which JVM languages?
> I gave up after a paragraph or two. It looked like it was going to moan about people trying to have fun and do some self care. I don’t have time for that.

The author had quite the opposite conclusion:

> The Great Regression isn’t really a regression at all. It’s a sign of resilience in the face of profound adversity.

Just as I was fading a few paragraphs in, one of the straw men (IMHO) thrown out caught my eye.

How had I not heard of Alexis de Tocqueville's 1835 critique, Democracy in America?

If you want to wrestle with someone making a much better form of the argument you (understandably) thought was in the article, check it out: https://xroads.virginia.edu/~Hyper/DETOC/ch4_06.htm

Honestly, you and Tocqueville are saying something very similar at the core. A polite society has a known exploit: not behaving politely. The exploit is used by those seeking to amass power and influence.

The result, he posits:

> It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?

There's nothing wrong with storing json in your database if the tradeoffs are clear and it's used in a sensible way.

Having structured data and an additional json/jsonb column where it makes sense can be very powerful. There's a reason every new release of Postgres improves on the performance and features available for the json data type. (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/functions-json.html)
The new 'gold rush' for green lithium (2020)
You can see in the other Tweets posted by that account that he acknowledges that he knows Twitter has fake users prior to making a private offer. Although the fake users thing was never and is not a valid legal reason to void the contract. However, it's incredible to see that he didn't have the foresight not text about the fact that he knew this ahead of time.
When rates fall the value of outstanding bonds raises.

You can think about it this way:

Yesterday's bonds yield 10%.

Yesterday I bought a 10% yield bond brand new, at a 100 cents on the dollar.

Rates fall, today's bonds yield 1%. If you want to buy a bond, you can buy a new 1% yield one at 100 cents on the dollar, or you can buy my used one, which yields 10%. How is mine not more valuable than 1$?
User Generated Content. Turns out you can't reliably verify age or consent (both to the act, and posting it on the internet) from just a .mp4, whodathought?

I know lots of people don't like this but because how perverse the incentives are and how rampant the abuse establishing a chain of custody for porn should be the absolute minimum.
Yeah that's a grim way to look at the world. And there are many who are engaging in that mindset.

There will come a time when taking from others because of the unwillingness to be a creative member of society is seen as a curable mental illness.
Generally I'd prefer them over capitalized institutions. At least the people who are making things work are seeing direct positive results.

In some cases (eg health insurance) I believe a single large national pool is preferable.

Should credit unions offer insurance... I am not sure. I think it's reasonable if that's what the credit union members want, but they'd need to be very careful about the policies they were issuing and the potential payouts.
30 years ago, much (UNIX) system software was built out of calls to system(), ie it would have shell commands do most of the steps. Partly this is because it is hard to do everything in C and partly it is just laziness. This is partly the reason for terrible security (the IFS environment variable could be changed to change the meaning of the system() calls and trivially make a suid program do bad things).

I think you’re giving programmers of the past too much credit.
Ballistic trajectory. They’re still pointing the gun at someone, it’s just outside of their line of sight.

(Untrained) Folks forget that bullets are affected by gravity too.
Well that's just it - if you're running into slowness that's going to effect the core of what you're building optimizing it isn't "premature".

If you're fiddling with getting a rarely used subsystem to load in 50ms instead of 60ms that's premature.
I feel like the phenomenon of people in their twenties living with their parents should only be attributed to deep cultural currents after we're 100% sure that it's not the exploding cost of housing in the most productive, well-paying metropolitan areas (which also happen to be the most fun places for a young adult to live).
Man, I was expecting constraint linear programming.
We don’t have a use case yet, but let’s just collect all the data and figure out what to do with it later!

It’s funny how these cliches repeat everywhere in the industry, and it’s almost impossible for people to figure this out beforehand. It seems like everyone needs to deal with data lakes (at scale) at least once in their life before they truly appreciate the costs of the flexibility they offer.
The poster above you said "monopoly position," which is defined in the EU as more than 25% of the market. Google unquestionably has a monopoly position in both areas.

The US similarly defines monopoly as having significant control over a market, not as a literal 100% stake.
The nex t Google product/feature launch press release should be rewritten from e.g. "Google introduces Badonkadonk Land Cruiser" to "Google might shutdown Badonkadonk Land Cruiser within 2 years", and the contents also adjusted to say "Since Google has a poor track record with keeping services running, users are understandbly wary about using this new Land Cruiser, meaning it is already on life support and might be cancelled in about 2 years."
Yeah, it basically boiles down to your social circle, but that's how I do it (which is the question) personally I'm not invested in politics.

But that's always the case, isn't it? no matter the source, even if it's directly from an eye witness, that's what I meant when I said do research on the ones you find interesting.

there is no such thing as a tech company except maybe biotech or other R&d based businesses.
A CEO is not “just an employee”, even when they are not a founder. You don’t get to accept that much power and that much money and then pass off any responsibility because you have someone to answer to.

Like really, if we accept that proposition how would society function? Youd have people in charge of tens to hundreds of thousands of peoples daily lives and output who just pass the buck on any issues because they got orders? Is that in anyway functionality different from a monarchy?
Often missiles fail to cool their semiconductors because they assume the flight will be short enough that they won't have time to overheat.

Board members have a legal duty to act in the best interest of the shareholders (except for B-corps). If he wrote an email that said "I know it will make us less or no money, but we should turn Twitter into a decentralized protocol," and then the share price dropped, shareholders could sue him.
Thanks for the clarification, now I understand your point.
The sad thing is that a computer from the late '90s running software from the late '90s is extremely fast and snappy basically all the time. Old computers are just so much more responsive.

Honestly, what I want is for more developers to test and optimize their software for low-power machines. Say, a cheap netbook for example (like a Chromebook). I've heard that if you do that, you will be faster than basically every other piece of software on the system. And that speed will persist (multiply, even) on any more-powerful computer.

I've heard of one person who does that for their Quake-engine game/implementation (don't remember which). They get thousands of frames per second on a modern machine. I am guilty of not doing that myself, though. Might pick up a cheap netbook from eBay for around $30.
ZFS as an underlying filesystem offers several compression algos and suits raw logs storage well.
I don't know if this is the root cause. I moved out at 18 and I still think I'm pretty childish compared to my parents now that I'm over 35.

Personally, I blame/credit the internet. Internet culture is perpetually stuck in the 16-25 range and I'm "terminally online".

However, I think it's also important to distinguish between a facade of seriousness and actual maturity. I know many older (boomer) adults who, while acting "adult", are manipulative, self-centered, or constantly stirring up drama. Basically, not able to manage their own emotional states. I'll take an emotionally balanced 40 year old cosplayer over that any day and would argue that the cosplayer is more mature despite outward appearances.
That is one way to stop feeling bad that you ignored what people told you on the way out!
Putin announces annexation of Ukrainian land, Europe's largest since WWII
Not always. Stuff like exposed debug toolbars or over-exposing stacktraces can leak environment variables, but (usually not) files.
For some cultural context:

If I had to sum up Pleroma's core audiences, it's right wing anime posters, Japanese instances that are 2ch-esque and don't really leave their language bubble, privacy and selfhosting folks, terfs, people who like sharing Ukraine war footage and discussing war in general, and pornposters

If I had to sum up Mastodon's core audiences, it's twitter-hating antifascists, European techies, post tumblr fetish sites, lgbt folks, Japanese instances that are 2ch-esque and don't really leave their language bubble, and pornposters

There's a lot of more random folks sprinkled throughout both, but these are definitely the most prevalent communities you'll run into just scrolling the network feeds.
You've gotta A/B test the right thing. They A/B tested to increase sign ups but the outcome they really care about is getting paid. If they did the test right then the experiment would have failed due to the higher charge backs/non payments.
I wasted my time reading the release post.
One would think in a million years if we have that sort of technology, we would no longer be dependent on Earth for humans survival. Whether we would colonize other planets and make them habitable through terraform or build our own planets at that point.

One could imagine an "Earth 2.0" that we can move around the solar system, positioning it perfectly for the right weather.

Good little fascist.
Since so many people say this completely seriously, it was rather invisible to me. Sorry about that.
I just wanted to nit-pick and state that this includes mobile (ie. Android) but on Desktop it is not better (67.33%) as Safari is not that strong there. And Firefox still loses on Desktop (0.5% compared to last year).
Wow.
It is entirely possible that my purchase of this game doubled the number of sales the game had experienced - it is also entirely possible that it was the 1 billionth $2 purchase they had.

5 months of dev time was to place the game on another platform and generate revenue, with an expected return of X. If they make more than X (ignoring the knowledge gained along the way) then in every way possible the exposure from this outweighs the 5 months of wasted dev time
Thank you for sharing. I didn't ask to open your opinions up to criticism, but I suppose that was me being naive. I will give some of those a look.
It's a problem, because people avoid demeaning postures. I'm an old man, but you'd have to punch me quite a few times before I'd be prepared to grovel at your feet.

The simple fact is that there's enough food in the world for everyone. So if people are going hungry, that can only be because either (a) the system is broken; or (b) the system is fine, and it's fine for people to go hungry. You seem to be a proponent of (b).
This title assumes that there is a single theory of programming languages, which is a bit strange.
Journalists have a duty to report information. Spies chose their profession and must live with the risks. It is not complicated.

I didn't mean morally -- I meant legally they do not have to verify the authenticity of the numbers.

And I agree with you about the exploitative wages mostly, but I don't know what to do about it.

So we pay real wages to migrant farm workers -- Even if we double subsidies for corn and whatnot, beef now costs 3X at the supermarket.

In Texas, 1 in 5 children are hungry every day[1]. How do you do it so that more children aren't made less food safe and you don't cause riots/social unrest from exploding inflation?

Sigh.... I wish we could at least all work on the problems instead of all the sloganeering always going on. Not to say you're doing that, it just feels like we can never have any kind of real conversation about what to do anymore -- Maybe it's just that no one is driving the bus anymore.

Have a good day!

That depends on the user. As Joel Spolsky famously said, there are different spheres of software. Things like Word or Windows, which are general purpose and go out to millions at once, are one kind.

On the other hand, lots of software is custom-built for a specific end-user. E.g. an organization's internal tooling. There, you can often sacrifice a lot of things for it to be done faster, depending on the use case. In that case, I consider the user to be the "organization" or specific people/teams within that organization.

but with the uint63_t i dont quite see the point but admit it would be neat having an unsigned int that cant overflow

That was a later change. The original Macintosh keyboards showed only the Command symbol, and we called it the "command key". The Apple logo did not show up until years later, when Apple introduced the ADB keyboards, designed to be compatible with both the Macintosh line and the Apple IIgs; their command keys showed both the cloverleaf symbol, used on the Macintosh, and the Apple logo, which had been the convention for Apple II keyboards.

Chancification
You're not telling me anything I don't already know. The strongest weapons we have /right now/ have no implications for what we will have in the future. A million years is a lot of time. Long live the Earth! We cannot conceive of how we will contain the suns expansion, just like cavemen could not conceive any of our technological advancements mundane to us.
That only works if leadership can spot the difference between long term and short term, and more importantly that they even cares about it.

I was expecting that too. It seems strictly more expressive, since once you have the niche, you can do anything you like with it.

And INT_MIN is a better place for it than zero imo. If Rust had a `BalancedI32` I would reach for it a lot more than I use the NonZero types. In my code at least, I've found zero is a pretty useful number.
It's so obvious that Musk was not really interested. The social balance was totally non-existent in this conversation. Musk's one line replies sound so generic. Seems like he wanted to keep the door open but Dorsey hadn't convinced him really yet. "I'd like to help if I can" is such a without obligation sentence. Then Jack replies with another well-designed text.
Just get up close to a model, and you can still see the difference.

It is correct, back in the Panther days when Safari was new the default home page was Apple.com.

I’m not sure how long they did that for, but like you said, what else were they supposed to do? It was a different time, homepages were treated differently.
I think there is evidence that Dorsey was bothered for a long time. Scott Galloway, shareholder in Twitter and public figure, has been calling him an absent CEO for 10 years. He was largely disengaged and the board had to drag him into the room to make decisions, which many times he did not do.
Mine too. But it unfortunately doesn't change the fact that Chrome is the most popular browser.

Hope its domination, just like anything Google, ends soon though.
Brave is not customizable at all, Vivaldi is much better.
