I hear you right back. Absolutely true.

A side note, working at Unity was fun because the point was not a generic solution for all programmers, but rather to make life easier for game developers so that they could focus on the creative aspect of their games. For example Not working around Google Play Library's latest unintentional goofiness around how their Android Activitys would close prematurely and send incomplete signals terminating their purchasing flows and then you as the game developer would have to somehow magically capture the now suddenly missing workflow signal and yada yada yada. So yes, I agree with you :-)

And moving the discussion further, designing a new high level platform abstraction API could include a feature that compiles this new APIs bloat away and eliminates intermediate calls.

Platform fragmentation is kind of a never going to solve it perfectly problem in my opinion. Until we have computers that write their own software to solve some end goal, humans are going to have to keep releasing patched versions of adapter layers.
I have a 1960s steel Omega that keeps pretty good time and that I wear most days. It's comfortable and pretty and never actively tries to get my attention (other than being an objectively nice object to look at). It's also, in comparison with a modern watch, tiny. 35mm or so. I can't imagine wearing some expensive heavy monstrosity every day.
I'm with you about the long-term potential of ETH vs. Meta (in terms of utility), but Meta is seeing prices it hasn't seen in over 5 years, ETH isn't trending down right now (I was buying in the 900-1300 price range), and is currently sitting at about 4X its price from 2 years ago.

I hope you're right, and the market starts to value ETH more favourably in the near future, but I suspect crypto markets in general still have a way to fall before the next big run up.
Interesting. But why use Figma at all? Note, that's not a knock on this idea / product. It's more about why use Figma?

In the past, I've used BootstrapStudio (https://bootstrapstudio.io/), which to me makes sense especially when there are still - in 2022!??!? - people using Photoshop to do "web design". The end product is something in the browser, so why isn't design + code done in the browser? Why generate a PNG only to convert it to markup + CSS? Makes zero sense.

Finally, last week or so, someone shared Makery.app. Maybe check that out as well?

That's how they create the salt caverns in fact: they pump hot water below impermeable limestone formations that were created when Kansas was an ocean 290 million years ago during the the Permian period.

- sizeable headcount reduction, revenue per employee is so far out of line with other tech companies that I simply do not see him avoiding it. META 1.5mio USD, GOOG 1.7, TWTR 700k. There might be a discussion as to why it should be lower, but it cannot be half of META. 30-40% minimum as a start.

- Moderation to be reduced, but not as much as some people would hope.

- Where can people leave to? TikTok is the only real alternative but it still has the natsec issues. As much as a lot of people complain that they wouldn't want to be on a less regulated Twitter they have no place to leave to. So no user attrition IMO.

The U.S. recognizes 17 exclusions to freedom of speech.

The German law recognizes a concept called "streitbare Demokratie" (self-defence of Democracy) that puts restrictions to undemocratic movements. It's a legal solution to Popper's paradox of tolerance.

Freedom of speech in liberal democracies can be summarized as follows:

1. There is general freedom of speech and expression.

2. Any exception must be codified in the law.

It's very very unclear to me why he bought it.

He said it was about free speech but Twitter is already about as free as it's possible to be without permitting a whole bunch of content that is NOT protected under the first amendment (CP, calls to violence etc).

And if it is about free speech then it cannot be an automated moderation play, because there is nothing to moderate if you're a pure free speech platform.

The best I can guess, is it's a political play? Turn down politicians who he dislikes? Or he just had a drunk/high/bipolar period and did it without a plan.
> Reviewing a PR, writing documentation, and sharing knowledge are all things taking time away from their passion.

And are also career incoherent and not valued.

I get measured on points per sprint. Documentation, customers, and PR review does not help me hit key metrics, which is why I do all I can to get out of it, including being bad at it so that I am not asked to do it anymore. Nobody has ever scolded me or had a performance meeting with me about botching reviews, docs, or knowledge sharing. I am never asked about these in interviews either. The questions are all technical or generic "how do you handle disagreement with a colleague?"

Coding in an ephemeral development environment is actually kinda nice. Whether that is a fully remote system or inside a Docker container. It’s nice to have a fully specified development environment that can be recreated at any time. I’ve started doing this for some newer projects and it’s refreshing. You don’t need to install compilers or libraries on your live system — it’s all stored in the container.

This is what I see as the winning paradigm. Whether that environment is remote or local is almost an implementation detail, and should be unimportant to the developer at the keyboard.

But the remote development aspect is even more important if you do notebook-style data analysis (which is increasingly more like traditional programming). In this case, browser/HTML based notebooks have been a game changer in that you can have long running sessions on heavy duty servers, controlled from smaller local machines. And the local machine only has to have a web browser.

Incidentally, my first foray into this development model was when I was trying to use my iPad as a dev machine. I hooked up an RPi to the iPad over USB-C and connected to the RPi running code-server (before vscode had their own remote server option). It worked surprisingly well, but the biggest hinderance was storage. And if you’re already connecting over a web browser, no need to limit yourself to a locally attached RPi…

As a work of popular philosophy, I think Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is unequalled. I think it got many people (including me) to an interest in philosophy where they had previously thought it to be boring hair-splitting.

What I’d really like is a proper successor to the old Rift that doesn’t make the compromises that come with the Rift S, because my interest in VR lies entirely in PC games. The Rift Pro technically could fit that but at $500 more expensive than a Valve Index (which is a lot more open), it’s a hard sell. I’m probably going to wait for the next gen Index before making a purchase decision.
It definitely helped me a lot in my career. It is hard to single out its impact, as good writing also help me demonstrate other non-technical qualities like diligence, trust, problem-solving. But I might take a guess and say that about 30% of my salary is due to good written communication skills

> basically sugar

I think we should be careful here about calling glucose "sugar" and talking about harmful metabolic process because most people think sucrose when talking about sugar. And the potential harm from sucrose, glucose+fructose is quite different than glucose alone. Eating 100g of pasta, what you call "basically sugar", is not at all the same as eating 100g of table sugar. There's just so much room for misinterpretation and miscommunication around food. And in addition, so much is unknown.
Yep, tried for months to find a Pi4 to replace an old Pi2 for home experimentation. I've only tried a few things needing the GPIO pins, mostly it's just an always-on computer I can proxy through and self host on. But the Pi2 was getting into swap all the time and needed an upgrade.

Found a Thinkcentre M600 on ShopGoodwill for $40 with an SSD. Added $10 of RAM and it's honestly a better fit for what I do with it. Crazy slow for a windows desktop but perfectly snappy running debian.

For someone just looking for an inexpensive PC, and with the way availability and markup are right now, the Pi just doesn't make sense. Used / cheap SFFs are a good way to go.
> His engineering has team figured out content moderation

Which of his engineering teams? Tesla? SpaceX? I don't see why they would be working on content moderation.
For me it's having just one thing I own not be disposable, and built like it. My favorite watch has a sapphire crystal and ceramic dial. I bash that thing into walls and doorknobs constantly and after many years I still can't even tell it's even happened once. I'd be fine if it was quartz, but it would have to be some kind of quartz movement that I knew could be repaired or replaced in 20 years. Despite what watch nerds say, I'm pretty sure that's entirely reasonable, but it's just not the norm for some reason. Grand Seiko is the exception, but I'm far too casual a dude for that brand.
This is about "printing" isn't it? I guess 3D modelling should have spectral qualities - but Pantone is made for spot colouring in print and paint.

A few years ago, Slack was "plain text entry box for markdown"

In ~2019, it changed to "WYSIWYG with markdown converted to WYSIWYG as you type". If you type "Hello *world*" the * will disappear and the "world" will be bolded - and you can also get bold with Ctrl+B or pressing a 'bold' button or pasting bold rich text.

There's an option to disable it [1], so if your slack experience is different you might have WYSIWYG disabled.

And if you think markdown usually means *foo* producing italics, and **foo** for bold, all I can say is yes.

Never bet against Elon. Starlink alone will make more money than twitter ever could. If you don’t see the potential for Twitter. That’s fine. But don’t write an article about how it’s “hell” if you don’t have the vision for how to improve it. That’s like someone who has no idea how to cook leaving a bad review for food they could never hope to improve on. If Elon listened to Haters/Doubters like this Verge journo, the world would be worse off.

>Why should you do this?

>Because I was done with the fan noise of my older and more powerful computer. After a while it felt as if a fighter jet was taking off next to me, constantly. I moved my old computer more away from me, but that wasn't enough.

:thinking: Feels like this could be fixed by some new fans, or at least an understanding of what GPU/CPU load is. Referencing "buying a new computer" just because of this is kind of overkill.
Even if Twitter is a complete financial loss (and I think he will lose a lot of it), Elon will still be a billionaire. His personal life will feel zero of that impact.

I don’t know if one exists.

But if it does, I am not sure how useful it would be because the effort to get an ink/paint that met all those requirements would be at least as complex as the Pantone factory.

Probably more complex since Pantone designs colors for the production facilities they have in existence (or can procure).

Basically the problem is who will make the color you specified?

There are problems with Pantone, but availability is not ordinarily among them.
I listened to the episode (a while ago, not when I saw your post), and I'm 90% sure they stated quite explicitly that "they made a mistake converting between imperial and metric and only filled up half the tank".

I'm going to allow some possibility that I got it horribly wrong and the podcast did, in fact, get it right, but I don't believe that's the case.
I don't think they do. I've been using DuckDNS against my own domain CNAMEs for years.
I have experience that suggests the contrary of his suggestions. Working in a remote culture, often we can spend too much time writing things out and in turn reading things that are irrelevant.

I would propose a more progressive framework: Start with the short message without any context. If needed, make a new message with all the context.

As an example I have a couple of times asked for help where a response would list the pros and cons of "REST" and I would have to spend too much attention reading it. Alternatively the following would have been perfect:

Affinity: Award Winning Creative Software
I am in no way shape or form affiliated with them other than an extremely satisfied user.

I know Hacker News loves not having to rent their software, and I thought you might appreciate the fact that there are full fledged, cross platform replacements for Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. No subscription necessary, just a simple one time purchase per app. Even the iPadOS¹ apps (two of which are ready, the third is in the works) are not crippled, unlike many of their counterparts.

Unfortunately there are no plans of the apps coming to linux², but I have heard reports of people getting it to work using bottles³.

Oh, and re: another recent HN front-page post⁴, yes all apps have Pantone support⁵ ;-) (and from my experience importing AI and PS files works quite reliably)
