No, I don't. I am vocal about brands I admire or dislike. One of the ways I was taught to evaluate web hosting companies was to check how long they have been in the business (both the company and the management) as web hosting is an easy business to get into (even today, any Tom, Dick and Harry can start a web hosting business with next to nothing investment by becoming a reseller). Pair hosting is one of the oldest web hosting companies I know, and they have / had a reputation for high server uptimes (I still remember one of their employee had once posted in some forum on how one of their FreeBSD run server had an uptime of more than 2+ years - yeah, bragging about server uptimes was once a thing too) and great customer support. (I also have fond memories of Linode, Slicehost, Rackspace etc. before they all gave up and were gobbled up by someone, and web hosting became all this "cloud" bullshit.)

Tl;dr: No. Brand recognition / recall is a powerful marketing tool.
> to normies actually Gmail does equal Email and such

I'd love to hear of some evidence for that. I've never encountered anyone assuming that the bit after the @ has to be gmail.com, or being unclear and uncertain if they can communicate between their work Outlook account and their home Gmail account. This feels very much like someone's taken the idea "to most people, the internet just is the web" and run wild with it.
I'm honestly already so sick of the media circus around this, and everyone watching breathless from the sidelines with hot takes. Elon is truly a master at focusing millions of eyeballs on himself and everything he does, but I'd be happy if HN didn't have a top level post for every single movement the guy makes.
There should be a separate tier for corporations.

There should be a tier for content creators, journalists, and others who use it for work. Politicians and governments should pay something.

But for average people sure pay a few bucks a month or become the product.

Ask HN: how does Jigsaw compare with other SSGs?
If anyone has used Jigsaw, the SSG that uses Laravel's Blade as a templating language, how does it compare to other SSGs you've used?

In particular I'm wanting to know how well it stacks up to Eleventy: how does it compare on features? On the quality of themes? How extensible is it? How much faster/slower is it?
Thanks for the correction

Yes, FSD is just a money making scheme at the behest of the gullible by now
Ah, thank you Xylakant and MSM. I don't see that, probably because of NextDNS (a cloud-based Pi-hole+).
Excited to watch Twitter go the way of Digg.
AFAIK one of the first things Musk did was remove the "you need to sign up to see this"-screen that blocked reading tweets without an account. That's at least one thing.
$8 for a verified badge seems like a steal for scammers, phishers, etc, looking to get someone to part with their money.
that’s okay, I’ll continue trying to make it an uncomfortable place for them.

I’ve already had the pleasure of off-boarding a neo-nazi from an old job, and spent a year in a country fighting both kinetically and ideologically against the dominant religious authoritarians. This is just a Saturday.
I agree with you, my comments were sarcastic :)
> This is a question to, mostly, Element developers really

We’re currently rebuilding Element on mobile (and native desktop apps) so it behaves much more like Telegram or similar, built on matrix-rust-sdk. The codename is currently Element X, but it will shortlyish replace Element proper.

I remember using Visual Studio in college (back in 1999, 2000) and coding circles around folks who were using text editors.

These days, I use Neovim + LSP for a pretty decent approximation of an IDE-- it's quite good. Still not as good as Visual Studio + C#, but I'm on Linux now, and not writing C# anymore, and I definitely prefer an open-source, general purpose, light-weight, customizable editor.
It's a semantic argument and I'm not attached to any particular definition of socialism. Also, I find that most arguments that "the Soviet Union wasn't actually socialist" are disingenuous attempts by socialists to deflect from the fact that their ideas have never actually worked in practice, but that's beside the point somewhat.
> You don't introduce more coupling, you don't the coupling that already exists.

This is true at the code level. But at the system-design level, this documentation is the extra coupling.

I feel like it's important to understand this. I agree with the original commenter; in engineering, nothing is truly free. In many cases, this extra coupling helps keep a system strong and stable, like extra nails holding planks of wood together. In other cases, you may find that part of a system's spec actually missed the mark and now needs to be ripped up and redone. That extra coupling might now work against you!

Again, that doesn't mean that it wasn't worth having it. It is just important to understand tradeoffs in engineering.
In my experience with that tradition, I've found that the moderators will just add it to the second-chance queue instead of asking the poster first.
I have a vive and a quest 2 and I tried working like that when travelling. The quest won't work in a car as it uses gyros.

I tried for about 18 hours each device to work in VR. Many things are not there yet. My vive is attached to a 5 monitor dual GPU beast that drives a central 144hz 4k HDR 43" and 5 2560x144 monitors. The vive couldn't touch the physical setup for comfort or resolution or just non-fussiness. I constantly had to adjust virtual monitors. In real world I just scootch a quarter inch on my rolly cHair. It's like the first time you setup a physical workspace every time you use it for me. Vive gets warm.

The quest 2 is too low resolution and too laggy. Battery too weak. It was a joy to take it off. Quest is more sweaty.

With the quest I worked from a RV for 3 days. It sucked.

What worked better was just 2 pelican cases with monitors and a discounted ups rate. In the RV I just shoved them in the corner and pulled them out when we parked. When I visit my mom or airbnb I just ship them to where I'm going. Was a massive relief. Maybe in a few years.

It's not just pixel density, it's software, weight, latency, fiddlelyness.
The article here actually presents a warp drive that doesn't require negative mass/energy, but also doesn't move at speeds greater than c. It's interesting because it seems to be permitted by all of the laws of GR and also build-able from known materials, and it could represent a new mode of propulsion.

It's also important to remember that space has expanded far faster than the speed of light in the past - c is only a limit for the speed that matter or energy can move at, it's not a limit for how space-time can change shape. We know this because the observable universe is ~93 billion light-years in size, but only ~13 billion years old - so it's size has grown faster than c.

I'm with you on the idea that none of this means practical controlled faster-than-light travel will ever exist, though. Jury's still out on slower-than-light folding-space drives, though.

Can you elaborate on that? Are you saying corps are getting paid to take money on interest?
> You'll need sendToUnverifiedEmail(email: UnverifiedEmail) and sendToVerifiedEmail(email: VerifiedEmail), and have code to get the right type to pass to the right function the in the right circumstance...

Only if you're using a language with an insufficiently strong type system (e.g. Java, C#)

in typescript:

type UnverifiedEmail = { address: string, verified; false }
type VerifiedEmail = { address: string, verified; true }
...
type Email = UnverifiedEmail | VerifiedEmail | FooBarBazEmail

const sendToEmail = (email: Email): Promise<void> = ...

in Haskell:

class SendTo t where
sendTo :: t -> IO ()

newtype Email = Email string

instance SendTo Email where
sendTo (Email address) = ...

newtype VerifiedEmail = VerifiedEmail Email deriving (SendTo)
newtype FooBarBazEmail = FooBarBazEmail Email deriving (SendTo)

> I.e., due to a bug, a value of type VerifiedEmail could be created for an email address that is not really verified. Then, your static checks for VerifiedEmail don't help you at all.

Of course they do - they tell you that the bug is in the verification code, and not in any of the thousands of lines of business logic separating it from the place where the error was found.
He's right up there with Kanye and the Kardashians, et al. I hate that I know who they are and what they're up to because you can't scan the day's news without being informed about their activities.
I wish TVP would have pointed out that he effectively build a strandbeest that can be driven by a person inside the strandbeest. still really cool. Normally these are self propelled https://www.strandbeest.com/
> Their work would be unused during that period anyway, so why pay for it?

should people in Silesia or Dheli pay triple price of London, because air pollution is bigger problem there, so cleaning air has more value?
You're Right. Western media is reticent to push that narrative because idiots in America will think the same and pull that shit here. We're already at a point where half the country thinks the last vote was rigged. Wouldn't take a far leap for then to take those very steps here.
Is there still any verification involved or is it just blue check mark for money? Does providing your payment details count as some form of verification and is that information linked to the Twitter user?
How about current wheelchair users who would like to go hiking?
Vim: I can do that too, I swear! Just configure some plugins, can’t tell you what they might be though. But I’m turing complete, and I’m the best!

There’s no comparison.
I recently switched from a 4k monitor+one/two 1080p monitors to a single monitor, and I prefer it now as well, but with one big caveat - it is a single 5k ultrawide monitor with thunderbolt 4. I simply connect my macbook to it using one cable, and I am done. That one cable provides power/charge to the laptop, outputs stuff on my big screen, and allows my laptop to use any devices connected to the USB hub built into the monitor. Zero fiddling around or setup required (aside from the physical space), and no bajillion cables requiring me to worry about managing them (as long as I want to keep my workspace neat and clean, which I do).

Even doing a single regular 4k monitor was stretching it for me, but my current setup satisfies me almost perfectly. The only upgrade I am planning to do in that aspect in the future is replacing it with an AR/VR headset that can emulate screens at a good enough resolution. While the current VR/AR tech isn't there yet, it is getting closer and closer, which gives me a lot of hope. I tried Quest 2 for that purpose, and I would pick it over a dual 1080p monitor setup even now. Sadly, it isn't quite as good as a single 5k ultrawide at the moment. There are other (very solvable) rought points with it currently too, like comfort (Quest 2 gets a bit tiring and sweaty to use after a couple of hours), but I heard Quest Pro has addressed that specific one, which is also awesome to see.

Given the leaps I've observed over the past few years, I feel like people are realizing the immense value of it, and the companies realize it too. So I am expecting something like this to be a fully viable solution for me within the next 5 years. And that's not even going into the portability aspect. As someone working from a hotel for the past 2 weeks, it would be amazing to have an AR/VR headset that would allow me to have the same setup everywhere, because I am not going to lug my 5k ultrawide with me wherever I need to work. Which is also why I prefer to work from home rather than the office, because my current home setup is much more optimal for my productivity that my office one.
If you can simply delete it that’s not debt, it’s just cost. My bank doesn’t let me delete my loan obligation and still live in my house.
> There are a set of unit testing frameworks that do everything they can to hide test output (junit), or vomit multiple screens of binary control code emoji soup to stdout (ginkgo), or just hide the actual stdout behind an authwall in a uuid named s3 object (code build).

The test runner in VS2019 does this, too and it's incredibly frustrating. I get to see debug output about DLLs loading and unloading (almost never useful), but not the test's stdout and stderr (always useful). Brilliant. At least their command line tool does it right.
They pre-sell ads every year. They fucked it up for next year. It was a very easy read.
Let's add to the list crypto currencies and all the related stuff, such as NFT, that already made a lot of people loose a lot of money.
Exactly this, it ludicrous to try and compare the cost of a handful of switchblade drones, which are single use with a warhead equivalent to a light mortar shell, to an entire attack helicopter deployment.

No question helps are very expensive, but the vast majority of the costs are incurred whether you deploy it or not. They can range over hundreds of miles performing a wide variety of tasks and carry far more capable sensor, communications and weapon systems than drones.

As I said I think drones are here and very capable, and they’re the future for these sorts of missions, but we’re not quite there yet.
Why Elon Musk’s Quest to Revive Twitter Is Likely to Fail
Is this the fastest change that Twitter has every pushed out?
ahahah, that's not even the craziest thing about EUV. it's that the whole process has two actual laser shots, there is a preshot that heats the tin, forms a plasma that is shaped like a lens. and then comes the stronger, main shot.

Wouldn't that be useless to scammers given that they'd have to provide their payment details?
This will be an amazing tool for scammers. You get priority comments, you get a blue checkmark to more easily impersonate others, and also LESS ads (amazing lol).

>> this is the smallest thing I _can_ test usefully

> Then you're testing useless things.

We'll have to agree to disagree then.

> Testing DB access layer and service layer separately (as units are often defined)

Not at all. For me, a unit is a small part of a layer; one method. Testing the various parts in one system/layer is another type of test. Testing that different systems work together is yet another.

I tend to think in terms of the following

- Unit test = my code works

- Functional test = my design works

- Integration test = my code is using your 3rd party stuff correctly (databases, etc)

- Factory Acceptance Test = my system works

- Site Acceptance Test = your code sucks, this totally isn't what I asked for!?!

The "my code works" part is the smallest piece possible. Think "the sorting function" of a library that can return it's results sorted in a specific order.
"$7.99/month if you sign up now": Hey, this price hike (from $4.99 to $7.99) is just the start!

"Blue checkmark: Power to the people": We've heard that there's long been confusion over what qualifies some people to be "verified", and we're solving that problem by making the blue checkmark just mean "this person is giving us money!"

"Half the ads & much better ones": Who wouldn't want to pay for better ads!

"Priority ranking for quality content": Because if you're giving us $8 a month, what you say must be higher-quality than those plebes who aren't!

In short, our best days are absolutely ahead, and we are absolutely not preparing an "Our Incredible Journey" post just, you know, in case! (Seriously, we can't, because we laid off all our writers.)

There are I think two useful features things like Slack and Discord have brought to the table.

1. Pinned messages. Yes, to an extent Channel topics can serve this way, but the limited space in IRC leads to "Use !jabberbot help for a list of commands, and !jabberbot faq so we don't ban you for asking the same thing for the 40th time." Slack and Discord suffer from people who don't read pinned messages but it can at least help deflect repeat stuff.

2. Threading. In some contexts, it makes sense to take a follow-up loosely "private" in the sense of not messaging to everyone else in the channel.

Other than these IRC is superior in basically every other way.
Totally agreed, I even think duplication is totally fine in tests if it brings more readability. You should be able to read the test to verify its correctness (after all you don't test the test code), and multiple helper functions and levels of abstraction hinder this goal.

A friend showed me his VR setup. For me, 30 seconds of wearing that headset in a flight sim meant 30 minutes of fighting against nausea. It was quite hilarious how badly my body reacted to it.
This is absolutely not true, the speed of analog circuits is (by a significant margin) determined by parasitic capacitance, inductance, and resistance of the components.
To put numbers to it, a typical high performance analog multiplier might have a loop length of 1cm for the feedback path. This circuit should theoretically operate at 30GHz, but realistically such circuits operate with a bandwidth measured in megahertz.
He plays a lot flatscreen to vr conversions.
I'm guessing it was VR, because after the VR sessions he said his eyes feel tired.
A Twitter spokesperson said they have 238 million mDAU (monetizable daily active Twitter users) as of Q2'2022. That'd be a conversion rate of 6% — not impossible.
The accusation was never made that the west scans the internet. "organizations that scan the entire internet and feed the data to western governments." As an analogy, the west buys iPhones, but it doesn't necessarily manufacture them.
All we wanted is a chonological timeline (without having to rely on tricks) of the tweets & retweets from the people you actively chose to follow, and no ads when you pay. Bonus points if it had restored "save means bookmark for later" instead of being another retweet button.

Instead, we get: it still has ads, even more tracking (for "better ads") and algorithms are still hiding content you chose to follow even if you pay.
No, you can't. There is barely any correlation between the amount of new lines of code I wrote in a day and how productive I was that day.

As a senior technologist who bills his time as a consultant, I can tell you that I (correctly) get paid the most for days where I write 0 lines of code.

But also, my most valuable code was code where I spent a week thinking and writing maybe 5 lines of code a day, and my least valuable code was when my output was limited by my typing speed.
I'm pretty sure Twitter always releases features on iOS first.
Another option: Sign up at masto.host for $6/mo and run your own instance, they rate that as good for up to 5 active users, so you could even invite some family or friends. I almost went that route, but someone I knew did that and invited me to join theirs. Review: It has been speedy.

More difficult to bot on iOS? If they're worried that their verification process might have flaws and don't want thousands of fake accounts on day 1 and all the bad press, the cost of the devices and difficulty in jailbreaking is a kind of safety net maybe.
I'm fine with just the one blue check for anyone willing to pay. I'm guessing existing blue checks will be grandfathered in, but maybe not. that would be a great immediate new revenue stream to make all those people start paying or lose their check. In any case, non checked people will most likely be entirely invisible now, which is totally fine. the noise from them is so bad
This video is made by Ben Eater. He has virtually disappeared online for almost a year now (give or take). I hope he is OK and I really miss his videos.
Plenty of ways around that, like prepaid debit cards, using stolen credit cards, etc.

FYI: I had signed up years ago on mastoton.social and not really used it. I tried logging in a few days ago and it was struggling under the load. Sounds like the admin of that instance is buying hardware to support the new load.
I think this attitude is a consequence of (a) so many things vying for our limited attention, and (b) people using your contact info in ways you don't want.

It's a reasonable response to the environment we live in, not necessarily a criticism of this specific app. Unfortunately it seems like the OP has wanted something like this for a long time, but their knee-jerk reaction to its outward appearance will prevent them from even trying it.

Like how an allergic reaction is our body's immune system over-reacting to something that may actually be benign.
I know lines of code as a measure of productivity has been criticized to death here and elsewhere but today I went and did some analysis on past two years of my team members contributions and saw the team members that I know they are productive are modifying code a ton more than others. It can be subtraction of code too but overall more changes correlated with my perception of their contributions. My perception is pretty informed because I'm their manager and I know this team and this code base very well.
How are they verifying people?
