That's called a prediction market and it doesn't really work. Averaging predictions doesn't make them better because the only way to predict the future is to invent it.
Never talked about evenly distributed power. Just not too concentrated.
A power differential is not inherently bad, I can't see a system working without it. But the size of that differential should be kept to a minimum that allow the system to work.
That does not seem correct.

The open source vs proprietary decision is usually a decision taken based on exactly this difference.

The sole reason for many companies to upstream some of their stuff is that they do not have to keep up with the firehose of upstream changes on their own.

I see two potential snags: you can't change the kernel command line, and you cannot downgrade to a known-buggy kernel version.

There is some flexibility around the kernel command line, so in practice you may still be able to use some whitelisted kernel parameters. (If your distro puts in the effort.)

Lack of downgrades could be a problem. You might upgrade the kernel and find that it is broken, and that you've also lost the ability to boot your previous kernel.

Both risks seem acceptable in a corporate environment, but perhaps not for the home user.

I tried what you said and it doesn't work with "javascript:" uris (probably to prevent running of unwanted code?).

Firefox bar is not "broken", as every browser I tested has the same behavior, and I think it's because a valid uri should only contain ASCII characters (as described in RFC3896[0]), but I agree with you that it's annoying: it should copy the text as it's displayed.

Fun fact: Internet explorer let you copy the uri "as is" without encoding.

That’s a ridiculous position. I would expect good engineers to laugh at the entire process and not see a future in that company. There is no way that engineers can be accurately assessed on code output.

>half of me wonders how much Parag could raise to build a new Twitter from scratch

That would probably amount in $0. Twitter wasn't profitable and part of it was its CEO. Why would investors be willing to lose money, especially in the current economic situation?

I would rather wait for Elon to stabilize Twitter and go public again.
It's easily defensible - people in this society organize themselves into familial clans, which are viewed as the atomic unit of society. Individuals are more subatomic particles.

That's not how we do it in the West generally, so yes, importing those punishments seems barbaric, but that's just because you may not ride or die with your family, defer all major decisions to your elders, etc.
> This argument feels theoretical.

So does your argument.

> Twitter is not just an ad network. It offers unique values to its users.

Yes, it does, and that unique value is noncommercial organic content, which charging for organic reach undercuts.

> If twitter starts charging the followers, sure, that will be a big mistake. I'm not suggesting that.

No, you are suggesting something just as bad: charging people for exactly what gives the followers a reason to be there.

> If twitter starts charging the followers, sure, that will be a big mistake. I'm not suggesting that.

They are producing and providing Twitter with content which people are coming to Twitter to consume. That’s not “wasting resources”, that’s what enables Twitter to sell space to advertisers.

> By the time they're big, they will value the relationships they've built with their followers.

By the time they are even moderate-sized, they’ll be on multiple social platforms, be using each of them (among other things) to inform their followers of the others, and the kind of content they are distributing on them (especially as it changes), and will be, themselves, cobtinuously reevaluating the cost/benefit of each platform for particular content and adjusting their social media strategy.

Facebook uses this strategy, and as they dialed it up, big accounts did direct followers to other platforms to get reliable access to what they were producing.

> A generic social media firm couldn't do this, but twitter is in a unique position.

How? Literally everything you’ve said applies to any large social media platform the same way as it applies to Twitter.
Website is easier to translate and likely quicker to load. Search is similar whether its pdf or website.

I like qr codes as an option.

It all varies by context of course, but I much prefer ordering uk/nz style - order at the bar, pay, grab drinks yourself, food gets delivered by waiter. Much faster, esp when you are getting a single cup of coffee.
You the fuck do this with some things because if you didn't ever do it, modern cars would either look like a jet aircraft cockpit, or they'd have very few features. Anyone who's looked inside a Subaru from circa 2019 would know how physical button mania can make cars objectively worse.

Hi nesarkvechnep,
Thanks for your comment.
For the first question, I see your point, we're going to make Soul battle-tested as soon as we pass this prototyping period and we'll definitely think a way of keeping our queries safe.
About the second question you're right, I need to add hypermedia controls.
Unless you really know what you’re doing, you’re better off trying to steer the car into the safest crash site/uphill possible than to try to stop it with the hand brake. The hand brake only locks the rear wheels and are not designed to brake at driving speeds (they are for keeping a stationary car from moving). Improper use of the handbrake results in the car spinning out.
Who said anything about detailed planning? You’re throwing this in and then using it as a lever to push an engineering led approach. There is no such argument in this thread.

There is however the argument of whether companies should look ahead for more than three months. And brilliant and trustable professionals don’t change my assessment that they should.
> Very nicely presented!

Yes, almost all pages that hijack scrolling are terrible, but this worked well.
My one experience.

A group situation where I was the lemon who scanned the code for the table (of 8 people).

I was then forced to take orders for the table, with all the back and forth that implies.

The worst thing is, everyone had a physical menu. Just the ordering process was initiated by the QR code.

Who needs waiters,l when you have technology, eh!?

Hell.

Never again.
I've spent a lot of time writing portable shell scripts which needed to run on Arch Linux (GNU coreutils), Alpine Linux (busybox), and MacOS (whatever their defaults are). Even used shellcheck to lint and ran all scripts with dash shell to validate POSIX-compliance.

Now? I just pick a minimum version of Python and limit myself to the standard library (Python package management still sucks) and occasional subprocesses (ex. preferring to invoke the zstd cli vs installing the Python package). This tends to be more verbose than shell scripting, but also much clearer - especially when compared to using single-letter flag arguments for options I seldom use.

I also don't generally trust those I share my scripts with to have a deep enough understanding of shell scripting to ensure portability and safety (argument parsing, quoting, and iterating over paths).
> If these numbers are right and they're laying off 50% the workforce, half of me wonders how much Parag could raise to build a new Twitter from scratch and just hire 500 - 1000 talented folks off the street for the venture

Is Parag a startup entrepreneur, or more of a going-concern executive? Startup seems more Dorsey’s thing—who made more money on the deal and took his new social media effort out of stealth as soon as the Twitter sale was finalized.
One recent example: paying bills in Switzerland [1]. Although those have to be scanned by a banking app.

>getting a large "Lift and Shift" of users directly from Twitter

Why would someone switch from Twitter? If anything, you might expect more freedom of speech and less bots on Twitter. On the parallel Twitter the maximum you can expect is the old Twitter minus some functionality, plus some offline time and some bugs.
Why do you care? And why do you focus on people who have it ok like they took it from poor people? There’s a whole layer of people who are used and abused by rich, but hey, fvck datacenter sob, how dare he not work up to your standards?
Is that goal for next week? Two weeks? My argument was that three months is too little for any sort of company strategy. We’re talking about a financial quarter. You don’t even have the time to measure your decisions.
Who is unsatisfied with Elon and would switch to something else for that? Is there a market study?

No, he is entirely right. He just complained about the condescending tone of fans and what does the above commenter do, he does the exact thing, pushes the exact button.

In a different context this would have been played for laughs, or it would have been considered trolling. I do not think the above commenter was trolling. People are just attached to idols and ideas they like and having them tarnished results in an impulsive reaction to defend them.
Like you assume ALL the engineers at Tesla are on site at Twitter or what?

It helps because apps are often used to view or edit files. By “files” I mean things like word doc files, photoshop files, Apple Keynote files. Many people like working with files and saving them locally, rather than on a server. With SQLite running in the browser, a file that is an SQLite database can be very easily read into memory, worked with, then saved back to disk. The page I linked explains this in detail. There are some examples of companies taking this approach at https://www.sqlite.org/appfileformat.html. Hope this extra detail is helpful.

Edit: Additionally, I encourage you to experiment with this. If you haven’t already, you may be surprised at how efficient/compact SQLite files are. They’re significantly more compact that JSON or XML documents and can include binary files like images. It’s much simpler to use SQLite as a file format than to create a custom binary file format.
Of course; I was being sarcastic.
It's the job of an incoming CEO to (1) gather information from the existing staff, (2) build relationships (and trust) with them, (3) use that information to help inform/tailor strategy, and (4) identify key individuals that can help execute said strategy.

If he needed an outside consult to confirm or refute suspected problems, that's ok, but that's not what happened here. He started off this relationship adversarially, and first impressions matter. This one is going to take some effort to repair. And if it isn't actively repaired, it's going to be a bumpy ride before he starts seeing good progress on his vision.

I know you said “most people”, but I always type these typographically correct quotes manually (no automatic substitution or “smart” quotes involved). It's Opt+[ (etc) on macOS, for example. So the name is disorienting for me at least, and as the top comment said, they predate computers and weren't called “smart” then.

But see also https://smartquotesforsmartpeople.com/ :-)

There absolutely _are_ better and worse software engineers.

There may not be an objective metric to discern a difference between two people of similar skill, but for sure it is easy to tell John Carmack from a junior developer with two years of experience.
"Less" doesn't mean "fewer bytes", it means "less complexity". If two ASTs do exactly the same thing, but one is easier to understand and has less structure, that one is probably better.

> showing a map of Europe that includes Ukraine but excludes Russia - a choice that I think is likely to have been influenced by politics, since I am much more used to seeing Europe defined as extending east to the Ural mountains and there is no geographic reason to draw the border of Europe along the Ukraine-Russia border.

The politics might be milder than you're thinking; some people find it awkward for a country to be partly in one continent and partly in another. Russia obviously can't be included in a map of Europe - only the European part of Russia would make sense. (As, indeed, you advocate.) If you're making your map by including countries, as opposed to regions, you'll have no choice but to leave Russia out.

A similar issue of confusing continental boundaries, political boundaries, and ethnic boundaries can be seen in the various claims that e.g. Cleopatra was black. The logic goes that Africa is populated by blacks, Egypt is in Africa, and Cleopatra was the queen of Egypt. (You see the same thing about various Berbers who were active in the Roman Empire.) It never bothers these people that the words "Africa" and "Africa" in those three correct claims do not mean the same thing, or that Cleopatra was not an Egyptian. She was notable in her day for being the first (and last) member of her dynasty who was able to speak the Egyptian language.
Ah, I see that now, Source Mode vs Live Preview. But either way you're not using a toolbar and mouse for basic formatting and it's not hiding invisible control codes from you as you edit like in a standard WYSIWYG editor. The sort of things that make Word documents so hard to edit.

Even in Live Preview mode, every character is visible when the cursor is in the area.
Redditor RawPacket writes[1] that it's probably an IDN homograph attack[2]:

the g, i, m, or p are replaced with characters from a different character set. Looks right, but the domain is registered with a different character.

Example: * gіmp.com is fake. * gimp.com is real.

They look the same, don't they? But if you click on the fake gіmp.com, your browser will take you to the domain xn--gmp-jhd.com as it is using the і from the Cyrillic character set.

As for the first point, Apple has a solution called App Clips (https://developer.apple.com/app-clips/) however I have never seen it in the wild even here in the Bay Area.

Lack of coherence is a major benefit for a sacred text. It allows the cult clerics to be flexible, to pick and choose what they like, what is socially acceptable at the time.

A rigid sacred text that claim things are one way or that something must be done someway will inevitably fail when reality shows that things are some other way or that the results of some other action are better.

Oh the product team has good ideas for the next decade. The question is how many of them have they actually had a real chance to validate with real users in production? Close to zero, in my experience. That's one reason why you want to be able to change priorities quickly.

(Note: quickly, not suddenly. Bad performance in market validation should never come as a complete surprise. It always slowly dawns on you over the course of days/weeks.)

Another reason for changing priorities quickly is that the specification drawn by the product team happens to be technically very complex because it interacts in unforeseen ways with other functionality, and this is discovered early in implementation.

Basically, in product development, you're constantly running into things that either provide less value than expected, or cost more than expected. That's when you should do something else instead.

Once you have a great idea, yes, you should sink all of your effort and focus into that to get it to market quickly. But the idea is that if you start cautiously and change your mind early and often, you can actually implement the winners with blazing speed later without looking back.

Alpine uses busybox for its shell and core utils. While closer to pure POSIX than bash or GNU, it has support for a few non-POSIX features (the shell supports the source command and brace expansion, and iirc some of the utils support non-standard flags).

It would be better to ensure POSIX shell script compliance by running the scripts with dash shell instead.
