Indeed, short term metrics vs long term hatred.

I know how it happens, I've designed many a KPI. Something so fundamental and important as the default non-user first-exerpience (not just a 'signup flow') should be evaluated more holistically than just looking at numbers.

But I guess when you have layers of middle managers it's safer to point to a spreadsheet than make hard choices.

> If you’re not growing, you’re dying.

Isn't this exactly the same Welchian attitude implicitly criticized by the grandparent commenter?
Rewinding earlier, what is the case for VC investment in an open source framework? Usually it's some variation of proprietary extensions ("open core"), enterprise support, and/or hosting. Docker, Red Hat, MongoDB are prominent examples.

So that could also be the rationale for Shopify acquiring it. Alternatively, they could've just wanted to acquihire an excellent team.

There is no paradox. Without a seriously constructive understanding of how humans happened, the only value for the-probability-of-it- happening-again that we can exclude is zero. All of the other speculation in the Drake equation is multiplying this number by a number less than 1.
The parent comment isn't wrong, but it's referring to piracy. The Wii U has been blown wide open such that tools exist that allow you to pirate games by downloading them directly from Nintendo's servers, essentially giving you free eShop downloads. Every game that's available for the Wii U digitally, is available for a pirated download. Straight from Nintendo.
I encourage you to also read previous discussion from 3 years ago:

the https://remix.run website is beautifully fun. I know lots of people will berate it for being OTT, but scrolling I wouldn't say is a critical path given the docs/get-started call to actions.

I'd be interested to see what Shopify do with remix, are they more interested in the core team, maintaining remix.run as they plan to/do(?) use it internally. I assume they want to offer this framework as a baked in enhancement of Hydrogen[1] to try and help clients build more robust sites.

They have a perfectly good Storefront API that allows you to build any storefront. We use Shopify with Next.js and if we ever wanted to switch platforms, we would just change the API calls and keep the same frontend.
Then you did it wrong, because that's not how that works.

You can get ip space with trivial need and multihoming.

It might have with a tiny amount of fuel and no load out (at an air show). In a realistic operational configuration, definitely not.
"resolution" is an awfully strong word. "explanation" would be better, possibly prefaced by "possible" if we're being honest.
I think it looks cool, I'll probably add this into my randomized color-palette-selection code I have in my emacs startup. I think it definitely accomplishes its goal of capturing an "arctic" feel.

Related to this idea but a bit of a tangent, a fun introductory use of self organizing maps is to make a very small map of just a few nodes, and train it with RGB values of a photo or photos of which you want to capture a "feeling". The nodes will end up representing a limited palette that very effectively captures the original images.
Interesting - happened to my sister in law and the account looked like it was hacked. New PFP and no posts.
Fuck spectrum. They’re the worst. Drop them for a better carrier.

A critical service is nonfunctional. You should not have to VPN for your internet service to work. I can’t believe I even have to say that.
Pattern matching makes you a better programmer if you’re changing code, so experience helps more if you’re an original author imho.
That's only if Twitter can continue to function at the same revenue without those 5000 employees. That remains to be seen.

> According to the CPSC, it failed to meet federal standards for mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure on ATVs for kids and doesn’t have a “CPSC-approved ATV action plan” meant to dictate things like “rider training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations, and other safety measures.”

Not sure what the "federal standards for mechanical suspension" would be, but I bet the maximum tire pressure thing is a release valve if you overfill it (kids might not know how dangerous an exploding tire could be) - and the last one means they didn't write enough manuals that everyone ignores anyway.
Why does he claim two tweets down that the same guy is credible and honorable? Makes no sense.
I used to customize everything, and usually went with Solarized Dark. But I started using VS Code a couple of years ago, and its dark mode (Dark+) has been really nice. I use it for perl, elixir, and bash.
Well yeah, because most of them don't have anything nearly as worthy of accomplishments to be able to show off "how cool they are", as opposed to Feynman.
Wouldn't you differentiate between workers and executives? Is the CEO a worker if he doesn't own the company?

Tying it to the salary makes sense to me. If you get paid minimum wage, asking you to work overtime without additional pay is unjust. You get paid a minimum wage worker's life-time-earnings per year? It's perfectly fine to ask you to come in this weekend for an urgent project.
Gotta go renewables. Solar+Wind. Solar might be hampered depending on the severity of the nuclear winter's cloud coverage, but you can probably generate quite a surplus from the wind caused by the blast waves!
Solarized dark for me, and I boost the blue tones in the background colors. Love it. Thank you!
This is a very interesting analysis of the situation. I wish I had a clear answer to how to handle situations of organized violence like these.

One quibble, though: I would argue that by their nature, nation-states cannot be democratic. Plurinational states like the United States might have a chance, but, by their nature, nation-states privilege the interests of their favored ethnicity over those of other people who might happen to inhabit their territory. Nationalism is an inherently anti-egalitarian ideology.
These are pretty well researched, observed, and understood subjects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus explains it quite well, particular https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus#Induced_ma... which explains how Venus is currently losing its atmosphere in the way described above. And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Mercury: "The Mercurian exosphere consists of a variety of species originating either from the Solar wind or from the planetary crust [...] This corresponds to a surface pressure of less than 10^-14 bar (1 nPa)" which is about 1% of what is considered "ultra-high vacuum" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure))

Mercury has no magnetic field, and no meaningful atmosphere like we'd understand it. Venus has a minimal magnetic field, and is covered in hot dense CO2 layer because the solar wind blew away all the hydrogen and continues to blow away the atmosphere. The Earth has a much stronger magnetic field that has protected our oxidized hydrogen, and good evidence points to the giant impact hypothesis.
Honestly this sounds like a good way of learning how to share and market your side project:

1. build something super simple(e.g. a colour scheme, mini-app, toy*) so you're less tempted to yak-shave, and then

2. use most of your energy on getting the thing out (marketing, community, ads, etc...)

* proper colour scheme creation is far from trivial, I know
I don't think Facebook let's you know why they banned someone specifically, or do they? It could be; you assume it would be for this comment, but it's not outside the realm of possibilities that something else triggered it, right?
protobuf parsing is far faster- it's a binary protocol. The underlying code is highly optimized and has to handle about 1/10th the total bytes. In computer, reducing memory access is often the best way to optimize.

PB can always be decoded to a text representation if you need to inspect it.
Tangentially related and relies on the person asking the question to already know the answer, but to remind themself given your context.
Our small department of ~20 people had a few book shelves with stuff like Clipper, Turbo Pascal, FoxPro, Novel etc. They were used very frequently.
Perl shines once you start using all its thoughtful but quirky features and shortcuts. Eg iirmc, how $_’s value always makes sense given the the surrounding context. Those people who get there tend to become Perl diehard fans.

You only get to appreciate that once you invest a fair bit of time writing Perl code. In the heyday of Perl, a lot of people got there because frankly there few other options. Today, there are lots of scripting language options that are arguable easier to pick up so far fewer people reach Perl Nirvana.

I do have to say I miss how Perl modules have sensible names that at least try to describe what they generally do.
Consistency, Iteration and Acquihire: The Story of Ryan Gilbert’s Workspaces
Started interning in Feb '95 during my final semester in college. Windows3.11/Windows for Workgroups on the PC, MSVC1.5 (C++) and Sun/Solaris on the servers. Novell Netware was big around that time. TCP/IP was still not ubiquitous; we had to use 3rdparty libs for the network stack code. X11 cross-platform windowing and Telnet to servers and FTP for file exchange was common. My first job involved writing image processing code in C/C++ and mucking around with TIFF files/headers. The Internet and Netscape Navigator and the early '90s web was cool.
Microsoft is about the take over the world. C++ is then what Rust is now.
I guess the question is rather than having 2 planets of 500T each form then collide, couldn't a single 1000T planet have formed from the same material?
A OBDeleven, which allows a great deal of access to Volkswagen, Audi, and some other European brands is $100 for the device and a one year subscription. It's then $50 per year.

As far as I know most countries do or at least did in fact refuse to deliver mail addressed to "Crimea, Russia". In order for it to get through, you either need someone to bounce it within Russia or to disguise it from your national post office but not from the Russian post office (no doubt this is easy: just omitting "Crimea" or using the Cyrillic alphabet would probably work).

In the same way, they refuse to accept a Russian passport issued to someone in connection with Crimea. These are not recognised as purely domestic matters; the statehood is intimately connected with the territory it controls.
> describe to your customer and users what you have actually developed.

In the domain I work in, what customers want (and what we provide) changes monthly at worst, annually at best. And in many cases, customers do not know what they want until they have already used some existing version, and is subject to continual revision as their understanding of their own goals evolves.

This is true for more or less all software used in "creative" fields.
Awesome that you guys finally went open-source :)
Had to disagree that there aren't high quality posts on perl. For example the articles from perl by MJD https://www.plover.com/~mjd/perl/ are top notch. Similarly the articles from Randall Schwartz are quite good. But all these articles were written long ago. Since perl has fallen out of favour these days, probably there are less posts covering Perl and consequently fewer high quality articles that are recent.
"... but what if your business was the one being purged because the owners profess to be the moral guardians of humanity?"

I'm sympathetic to your objection but I note with interest that their announcement included this paragraph:

"We will exercise discretion when applying this rule. If you believe that your use-case for cryptocurrency or blockchain is not plagued by these social problems, you may ask for permission to host it on SourceHut, or appeal its removal ..."

... which is a catch-all that covers edge cases that I might be worried about.

It's not scalable, but sr.ht isn't that big so it works for me.
Thanks. GLOB ran about 10x faster than LIKE for my data set.
I remember UNIX workstations with giant 19" displays, roughly 2 feet deep (60cm), and so heavy you almost needed 2 people to move them. Desks were always 30" deep to accommodate them.

Later, NEC Multi-sync monitors. And Sony Triniton vertically-flat displays.

RSI became a thing, along with ergonomic Kenisis keyboards. And upscale companies got Herman Miller chairs and padded cubicle walls.
It could entirely in someone's mind. People use brackets like {{{ }}} in C based languages all the time, when they have to deal with ((( ))) in Lisp suddenly they become unreadable. The thing is people want to spend little effort to learn something new, even if it can help them. Programming in the modern context is reduced to familiarity of syntax, and a small set of easily learnable and usable patterns.

Problems related to bad programming, programming practices, bad program design, syntax bloat etc etc. Today exist with Python too. Python 3.x series is really how we do Perl stuff the Python way.
That depends the subs you are subscribed, I usually get bombarded with left content and big subs are astroturfed by leftist.
Congratulations! I was keeping an eye on this project for production use, and this news is boosting my confidence.
Killing Vine was probably Twitter’s single worst move; they had the short video trend cornered years in advance and unceremoniously killed it because they hoped they could just steer people to post videos on their main product.
According to the article below, the impact may have started the magnetic field by mixing the core. It doesn't mention anything about "adding more iron" being in itself more significant. I wonder if the OP is half-remembering a distorted version of this theory.

> According to the CPSC, it failed to meet federal standards for mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure on ATVs for kids and doesn’t have a “CPSC-approved ATV action plan” meant to dictate things like “rider training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations, and other safety measures.”

> The good news is that there aren’t any known instances of someone being seriously injured while using the Cyberquad for kids, though Radio Flyer did apparently receive one report of it tipping over when an adult and child were riding it at the same time, resulting in a bruised shoulder.

So it didn't have the required level of suspension stiffness and tire pressure (too hard or too soft, who knows), and it wasn't half covered in those yellow warning stickers.

I had no idea this existed, but seems like a fun product. 10mph does seem quite fast, which is probably the main cause of the problems. I doubt this would have been an issue had it been limited to 6mph like the other ones Radio Flyer makes
How can responsible engineers shape the future of Twitter?
These thoughts came to me as part of a small thread on the Logseq community [1] but a variety of follow-up thoughts came to me, which I thought would share with the one community I truly trust in this crazy world of propaganda of all sorts.

I thought I would share them with you, a group of individuals I feel I connect with, and trust, to see how we can adapt to this new world of Elon leading Twitter with its high potential and many risks as well.

A number of things change, now that Elon is running Twitter. First off, that's horrible news for many. I hope Twitter HR (who should be under a lot of pressure right now) are doing a good job, handling the logistics there.

In terms of Twitter product management teams though, I think they can get inspired by serious conversations in the community as to what features they will now put forward and to what degree, will they allow for communities to speak freely, which would be a way to actually also test a different layer of claims for Elon, in the lines, the bird is free. I mean, at some point, how free are we talking? Free as in Freedom or Free as in for as long as it serves my purposes.

Small side note: Mr. Musk also needs to understand to keep his power controlled for he might fall into traps only a few people have survived in history. Nelson Mandela, Cyrus the great, Darius, was it? Absolute power corrupts absolutely has been the rule, except for three so far. You might argue how we can know that to be three. Well, the answer is that when an individual has absolute power, it cannot go unseen. In most cases, it leads to wars and chaos, but it leads to good things when it is controlled like those three individuals built great civilisations, it so happens.

Wikipedia doesnt post the truth(it's impossible, really), they post things backed up by secondary sources, when the secondary sources are knowingly lying[1] at keffals request to not mention doxbin it's pretty hard to trust them.

Unfortunately I don't really bookmark tweets so I can share them 1-2 years later with folks who won't bother to search for them, themselves.

Sorry, you'll have to take my word for it, and you'll need to have enough interest and curiosity to care. I don't mean to assume you don't, and I want to think you're genuinely interested in knowing, but at the risk of sounding rude, people who usually ask for evidence or examples didn't spend any time looking on their own, and seek only to condemn, deny, or denounce the OP's claims at any cost — or worse, when evidence is shared, twist it into something it's not and make excuses for it.

A quick search got me reprehensible posts generalizing White people, or highlights patently racist behavior towards Whites by people (and news media) that are still allowed to exist quite freely on Twitter, like so:

Generally the most likely response at this point is "You're cherrypicking" (and thus invalidates my entire claim), right?

I've been a firewall admin for a decade, I'm not entirely naive, and I am now sober.

I clearly don't work in VoIP, I only had a one year stint with call center stuff. But I am honestly asking, who uses toll numbers anymore? Why wouldn't phone companies and VoIP providers literally decide not to honor a tool that seems, to me, entirely built for scams? Are there places without Internet but with phones, in such a scenario where a toll number scheme makes sense?

Put in general terms, I am saying "don't block the network protocol, end the toll-payout protocol". It would be like us living in a system where scammers could charge you $5 each time you got caught staring at a postcard in your mailbox, and we decided to block postcards rather than stop paying the extortion.

On the broader topic of "decentralized servers being abused on the Internet" yeah I get the problem of open DNS and SMTP relays. I do assert that those services being locked down are why we only have 0.0001% engagement.
I'm not sure how anecdotal evidence for something failing (or not) changes this.

Even if 1 in every 1000 of a model of car (0.1%) is expected to experience a flaw, that could be more than enough to issue a recall. But that means that you and your closest 100 friends aren't likely to have experienced it.
It also shows in the switch how much they learned their lesson.

IKEA Asks Horror Game to Change So Folks Stop IKEA Comparisons
There are laws that restrict firing someone to avoid a payout, at least in some states.

Not sure if it applies to stock vesting. From what I understand, the main goal is to prevent an employer from firing someone at e.g. 19 years 11 months tenure purely to avoid paying them a pension.
My quick math leaving out a lot of details and what-ifs:

Wikipedia spent $110M to run the site last year. That's $9.16M a month. If hosting is $2M per month that leaves $86M annually.

With no other expense that leaves an annual salary of $287,000 per employee. If you run a business you're most likely going to spend 1x an employees salary on all types of costs. So average salary is closer to $143,000 if they have only employees and hosting as a cost which is next to impossible.

Wikipedia can double their employees for all I care. Triple them even. Please just stick around and keep doing whatever it takes to keep the lights on and running.

For a site that is a part of the internet and seems to be very much a net positive to the world it's crazy to think a staff of 300 is a lot. 300 employees keep doing your work!
