Just look at their Web UI, horribly slow and lagy.

Twitter is horribly bloated and unprofitable company. Several thousands people could be justified if there are sales and profits. 75% is not enough, current people must go, regardless of politics.

My personal best practice for using shell scripts:

Don’t.

Use a proper programming language instead. bash (and similar scripting languages) are non-portable (Linux/Windows) and the opposite of what I want in a good programming language.
> "So again, a proper independent judicial instance whose mission is to examinate evidences and make a choice after a fair trial."

So if an "independent judicial instance" decided that you or your organization should not be allowed to criticize an election result or election process because doing so would be "a threat to a free and democratic society", you would accept that?
I wouldn't consider my website to be a well-ranked website on Google, but yet here I am with this Bing issue. I believe you're right: Bing allows spam-links to taint the reputation of a URL until they decide that the URL — the victim that has nothing to do with the spam-links — should go. Incredibly unfair and nonsensical for a search engine.
How is wolfSSL/SSH? I have come across them a couple of times, but not having anyone/anything ”famous” behind them when compared to GNUtls or mbedtls always made me somewhat wary.
Monitor height looks about right to me, depending on where the poster’s eyes are relative to the monitor.

My setup has monitors on arms at a similar height, lining up their horizontal centers with my eyeline so my head position and back are neutral.

Apple allow you share Passkeys via AirDrop which is kind of mistake
I find OOP fine but it's not something you can just let rot. You need to be ok with redefining classes and refactoring things around the new boundary lines regularly as requirements change.

This requires a testing suite that gives you confidence to make these sweeping changes quickly. Without it, it's not a fun way to work.

Also, you don't have to go all in on oop. I like to use procedural most of the time only defing objects for things I find more easy to reason about as objects.

For example, I'll write the command line interface in procedural that looks a lot like a complicated bash script and then define objects that do the work. This often results in objects not really changing much because they're not defined until later in development when their needs are well known. The place that changes is usually feature switches, command toggles, output formats, and the like. All that can be objects if you want but for the most part a function or two goes a long way and results in easier to change code.
> So, returning to the question upthread: how a Mac is not a commercial Unix workstation? It checks all the boxes you listed.

If I were attempting to answer that, I would say that Apple de-emphasizes and neglects the unix "powertool" side of the system. But I'm not actually sold on that angle; I actually half-typed and then deleted a comment arguing that Macs are precisely unix workstations - they run a Unix™ OS on mostly custom hardware that is, at least with the latest ARM chips, more powerful than much of the market and which commands a high price (although far less so than was traditional for unix workstations:]).

EDIT: Comment downthread says they're still getting certified as an official Unix, so I've updated this comment to reflect that.

I stay authentic and go full speed in the first few weeks of a new job. Only one chance for a first impression. When you leave a great first impression and deliver quick, valuable results you will have a much easier time in the future because people associate you with getting stuff done reliably. Usually leaves you with more degrees of freedom and responsibility. If you mess up in the beginning it is much harder to turn things around over time.
No court in the USA would confuse mockery, or in this case satire, with harrassment. Obviously it’s very different in places like England.
The biggest issue with technical debt is that it encompasses too many things at once. To fix it you need to be specific about your scope, goals etc...

Availability, adaptability, maintainability, ... most of the NFAs/quality attributes can have a different impact on the business. I've done a lot of in- & out "help the house is on fire" assignments that typically last half a year.

In my last project f.e. the team was delivering fast, high quality code, but the biggest issue was build & deployment took over a week and lots of errors/iterations due to lack of proper architecture and maturity/DevOps.

(Assignment: fix the current "CTO"'s biggest fires, phase him out, replace him temporarily and find a replacement, without interrupting delivery of new features.)

So I made "deployability" a priority, and created some huge debt by using docker-in-docker containers to at least have an automated, reproducible deployment unit available.

Next was "lack of trust from the stakeholders", so we installed a weekly sprint, created a high level architecture diagram and a preliminary planning that we updated reach month, so they at least had an idea what we were doing.
Important note : our Jira tickets were only for communicating progress with the stakeholders, so only using business language etc...

Next I created a few high level - core to the business - happy path tests that ran on staging deployment, which probably was a mistake, because the team ignored the failing tests. (Their mindset wasn't ready for it yet, even though they deployed a failing instance to production twice, resulting in a business outage.)

By then I found a replacement - someone who was almost obsessive about code quality, documentation and process/communication, showed him my idea about feature evolutions, how to coach/manage the teams, and after a month I tapered off my work from full-time to zero in two weeks, because I was experiencing the "mom syndrome" (i.e. "as long as mom is doing it, I'm not picking up my responsibility".)
Last time I checked, the team had a little bit of a rough transition phase, but is now doing great.

TL;DR: to tackle technical debt, identify the specific kinds of debt you are dealing with and prioritize/classify with stakeholders what they would like to see fixed first.

Attacking technical debt should be no different than developing a new feature.

I worked at a Top 40 station WISE AM in Asheville,NC in the 70’s & 80’s. When we went Stereo in the early 80’ we gave away Sony AM stereo transistor radios on the air. The crazy part was hearing lightning static in stereo. I still have one of those Sony radios in a display case in my home office.
You're worried about Europe, but how is the US a friendly jurisdiction for free speech? The Biden Admin targeted specific users on Twitter, and insisted those users were banned:

https://reclaimthenet.org/biden-admin-alex-berenson-twitter-...

What if Musk's Twitter doesn't listen to those requests? Don't you think the DOJ would apply pressure to Google/Apple to ban Twitter from the App Store? What happened to Parler? You can cherry-pick users "instigating violence" on any platform, including Facebook and reddit. The difference with those platforms is they censor who the government wants censored. It will be interesting to see Musk navigate both corporate media hit pieces and all political forces aligned against him.
That’s the reason Fedora 37 is still in beta (read that they will ship it with kernel 6.0 & gnome 43.1 as well)
I love the garbage collector in Nim. Not only you can chose between different memory management strategies but you can tune the garbage collector to your liking and it's pretty fast by default.

I think it depends a lot on where the code you are working on lives in the stack.

The further down it is the more it makes sense to do it right.

The further up it is it becomes a question of whether that code will be around long enough to make worthwhile the more interesting invasive changes required to do it right. An extreme case is A/B tested UI code which has a strong chance of not working out.
I didn't handle audio for this emulator. But you can see how I handle resampling in my more fully-featured NES emulator here: https://github.com/binji/binjnes/blob/ca6977469168069a165176...

Honestly I think we’re all just scared he is going to help get the boy king elected and if that’s the case, if that happens there’s a good chance that will be the end of civilization as we know it.

That is legit the only reason anyone I know of cares at all about this deal.
The concept that the Earth is overpopulated, and that "convenient technology" is the cause and the solution is rapid "depopulation", is a very dangerous path. You didn't say that was where you were going, but it appears that's what you are alluding to.

There are other answers to the problem of overpopulation and poverty. We have to be careful about the "scarcity mindset". Which can cause a toxic and warped view of the world, that leads to creating even more problems.

Technology can very much be an answer, among others. Colonizing Mars because of advancements in space related technologies, can mean plenty of room for growth. Solar, nuclear, and other alternative energy can change the structure and direction of societies. New kinds of birth control, can gradually decrease populations. And the answer isn't always technology. For instance women who go to college and work, are less likely to have children or a relative decrease in children and family size.

Being more financially well-off or even rich, doesn't mean an end to human suffering. There is no limit on greed, envy, hate, fear, prejudice, theft, etc... Which can cause conflicts, war, death, and various forms of suffering.

No, no they do not. I've worked for the government and in that sector. We did not print code to review it. That might've been a thing a decade or two ago, but it is not a thing now and for good reason. And I would strongly question the technical capabilities of a team that was not able to adapt to modern tools even for older codebases. What exactly is your citation that they still do that?

It is simply much quicker and much more efficient to do something like a proper code share in an office with one person driving the code and being able to jump between areas of the code.

To say it bluntly: Anyone that uses printed code for code reviews is wrong. It assumes all functionality is colocated and nearby. It wastes time by forcing people to index through multiple pages of paper. Anyone that demands it should see prompt pushback.

Hi all, author here! Happy to answer any questions y'all have
PANTONE has been outdated in Adobe tools since 2006. If you're serious about PANTONE, I think it's unlikely you actively use Adobe's outdated set honestly. The worst thing about PANTONE is that it is both not entirely forwards or backwards compatible. You generally want to be on newer versions of PANTONE because of the greater amount of clarity in material application.
> is a good way to discuss coding style.

To some degree there is only one solution to this problem of arrow cursor design. Vertices, horizontals and 45 degree diagonals render effectively, even on low resolution screens. The arrow head of a mouse cursor consists of: 1 vertical, 1 horizontal, 1 leftward 45 degree diagonal and 1 rightward 45 degree diagonal.
> "People are completely within their rights to be intolerant up to the point where their intolerance does harm to others."

We're talking about speech. Speech is not "harm". Nobody cares about your hurt feelings.

The limitations on speech in the U.S. occur when the speech directly results in ACTUAL harm (again, not just hurt feelings). That's why the U.S. has the most expansive speech protection of any country in the world. I can deny the Holocaust as much as I want. I can call mock "trans" people as much as I want. Because, again, your hurt feelings don't matter when you're talking about protecting speech.

This was brought up for the last one of these I made, but the code here is c++ so wouldn't be allowed. I don't use a lot of c++ features, but it might be hard to keep the code size small without them.

There's a cool technique called "negative" prompt that I didn't see mentioned. Some of the community projects have implemented it. (I use https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui locally when I want to generate something).

You pass in both your prompt and a negative prompt at the same time. The negative prompt describes what you don't want in your image and it'll try its best. There's some magic quality words like "jpeg artifacts" you can put on negative prompt and poof the image is less messy now.

I'd argue that aesthetics do serve a functional role in a workspace. This is why many people put photos of their family at their desk for a very easy to understand example. It does not do something specific to your work, but it certainly serves a function to the person doing work. Beautiful objects can serve a similar purpose for a lot of people.

For me it's almost always part of the consideration, though I'll concede that for items that are required for work, it needs to be able to do that well first.
spot on about money velocity.

in addition to capital investment there's also a lot of impact by manipulating current consumption that responds to interest rates - like the housing market, which is mostly consumption.
I haven’t studied Econ too much, but I know differential equations. Is there any economic theory suggesting a stable curve that doesn’t oscillate around the mean (but rather tightens up right onto the “mean” whatever that is) is desirable? I get we’re also talking planet scale complexity, and it’s not like that can just be baked in overnight.
From looking at my currently installed packages, there are quite a few that depend on gnutls: ffmpeg, gnupg, libcups, vlc, and wget look like the ones that would be most well known. It's possible that they only use it as an option, but normally I'd expect it to only be an optional dependency if that were the case. I haven't looked at any of their codebases though, so no idea what they use it for!
This is most likely but another possibility is that it was coordinated to happen on a bank holiday so systems can be dated with less impact from service outages.
Prices without quality means nothing. I went all in on X25-E from 2011 at 65nm with 100.000 writes per bit.

Nothing will ever challenge those disks.
There has to be another party on the other side of every trade. If someone wants to sell Meta stock for $300, there needs to be someone who wants to buy it for $300.

Exchanges have a collection of their participant's bids ("I will buy for this price") and offers ("I will sell for this price"). When a bid is matched with an offer, the transaction goes through.

Now this is the important part - there are only so many people willing to buy for $300. If there is a mass sell off, all those offers are consumed, and the exchange starts filling the offers of people who would buy for $299.99 (or whatever the next lowest price is). Once those offers are consumed, further down the price ladder we go.

That alone will ensure that not all sellers are getting top dollar, however a market selloff like that would trigger a cascade of lower prices (buyers withdrawing their bids and relisting at a lower price, or not relisting at all), along with things like stop losses and algorithms getting triggered.
I definitely wouldn't recommend those attached screens. They're small, bulky, usually have low quality displays and none of them can be used without a kickstand, at which point you might as well get a portable monitor instead. They come in a variety of sizes, with many different features (OLED, touchscreen, speakers...) and at many different price points.

I used a 17" DIY portable monitor for about two years when I didn't have a permanent workspace and the only complaints I have about using it are solved in most commercial models, I just stubbornly wanted to use my own. Just be careful with the cheap ones as they often have the same problems: poor viewing angles, no backlight adjustment, wobbly kickstand, multiple cables required....

Hardly. The point I'm making is that any platform with user supplied content must have moderation of some speech. No platform can exist totally unmoderated at Twitter's scale.

So then the discussion is about where you draw the line, what speech you permit and what speech you prohibit. Apparently, there is a community of folks who believe Twitter should allow racism on the platform, despite it currently being disallowed. I think it's more than fair to say, "if you are allowing speech most people would find offensive and was previously banned, how far are you willing to push that needle?" Bigotry is one thing, but what else is on the table?

Elon Musk has repeatedly indicated he believes in free speech and the marketplace of ideas. I think it's more than fair to ask what his limits are.

Moreover, I try to embedded documentation and diagnostic/debugging tools, such as meaningful error messages and traces, into code. Usually, debugging takes 3x more time than coding, so it is very profitable to reduce debugging time from the very beginning.

Also, I'm automating branching, building, testing, merging, committing, releasing procedures, so for me, it feels like a game: read a ticket, make a branch, write a test case, write the business code, update documentation, tests are OK? -> merge and commit, update resolution comments, send ticket for review and manual testing, next ticket. Of course, it works only when the whole team works the same way and each member of the team plays his/her role properly.

No news on what happened to the pilot in the A-4N...
I am not super familiar with US judicial bodies and what their mandate actually entails, but, in general, what judges do fundamentally revolves around interpreting laws and/or constitutions.

Twitter does, of course, also have to comply with law. In regards to this council we are however specifically focusing on an area, that is not already decided by law. Coming up with a decision in a "wildly diverse group" without the need to argue along law (because that is not what your mandate asks for), is a very, very different setup.

I feel the other examples are problematic for other reasons, i.e. "city councils": In the EU people get elected into these positions and no one mechanism will be placed for them to have "wildly different viewpoints". They get elected to get something done, which will then revolve around making compromises, or just not being involved in the process.
