EQUIFAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!!!!!!!!!

(Yes, the Equifax hack was due to a widely-known vulnerability in Apache Commons that apparently the DHS warned about but Equifax didn't bother to patch it.)

Also, knowing that hospital equipment still runs Windows XP (with some sturdy-but-aged machines running Windows 2000), I'm not sure if there's any good benefit for this. Sure, small businesses might take action on a genuine oversight but larger businesses tend to know already that their systems are insecure (even when taking state-level/sponsored attack out of the equation).
> They just think, oh, if I want to protest against the system, all I need to do is listen to this band!

I am not sure if people who this would protest under any circumstances.
This looks great, the unique xpath finder caught my eye the most. JetBrains makes some great stuff!
writing.com is old school, and focussed on fiction.
To be fair, Musk also pledged that Twitter would not become a "free for all" in terms of speech.
Why derail the conversation with rudeness and condescension? Why put words in my mouth instead of engaging with what I've said? Cui bono?

At the scale of individuals I would agree people should be free to try whatever hairbrained schemes they please, at that scale who am I to say what will work out or won't or what success even means.

What concerns me is that so many people are buying into false solutions and transparent grift about real and pressing issues that impact us all collectively. Musk isn't a crackpot who should be tolerated in the interests of liberty, he's a public figure who is actively causing harm, and I believe will cause more in the future. So I'm certainly entitled to share my views on this public figure, and I'll continue to do so. I'm curious why you would respond to that so defensively.
I do think Times Square and broadway has a certain charm. I also loved the density of the neon signs in Mong Kok.

There’s is also something charming about the ridiculousness of using Burj Khalifa as a bill board.

On the whole, I wouldn’t choose allowing advertisement in public just to save those places but I would love to have my cake and eat it too.
Now that Mastodon is seeing a huge influx, I think it's for the best if we improve its ActivityPub protocol and not fragment the space further

That seems… unlikely.
Pretty sure that markdown wasn't imagined for that purpose, how would it even work?

Markdown for comments in config files? Absolutely.
Internal slack communication is confidential.
I spent months starting arguments daily on Parler and Gab by convincingly playing the character of a pansexual Soros funded double vaxxed, anti-2A, pro-abortion, climate science worshiping socialist and never got shadow banned, canceled, kicked, or warned in any way.

So in my experience they very much did NOT become safe spaces, even when faced with every idea I could think of which could be considered solidly "left."
This was not an option with a publicly owned company. For the board members to walk away from this offer would have breached their fiduciary duty. They certainly benefitted as did everyone else with stock.
Those that are proper C++ would use a string type instead of raw C strings.

And if those developers care about security, bounds checking would be enabled.

As for C there is hardly anything we can do other than keep fixing exploits until hardware memory tagging becomes a common feature across all major platforms.
I agree. Mathematica and Wolfram Alpha are amazing because of how close they get to maths as it is taught in school, uni and through books.

There are many other ways of working with maths. Graphing calculators are very common, and some models even have proper algebra support. There are also the likes of Matlab, R, Python + numpy, and obviously the addition of Jupyter notebooks.

“Mathematica®-compatible syntax and functions” seems to be the main selling point of Mathics. I presume that this means that I can copy-paste Mathematica examples I find online or that are shared with my by someone else.

Why people still use Selenium? My brief experience with it was awful.
Surely hygienic macros are a subset of macros, as follows from their name?

I still don't see why D's mixins aren't hygienic macros. And the D documentation doesn't make that claim, either - it only highlights the difference with C preprocessor, not macros in general.

OTOH I can't think of anything in VB6/VBA that resembles macros, runtime or otherwise?

Compare the Chinese response to COVID to democracies like the US. In the US, the COVID pandemic response is basically history. In China, they are still locking places down and you can find videos of people literally fleeing the authorities [0]. This is the difference between a country where official policy is a bit behind the times vs a public that isn't particularly panicked and (correctly) identifies that the threat is minor and they need to get on with life.

It works? We have an extensive set of Selenium-based tests (something like 5k of them), and it's fine. Why should we switch?
15 years? Lint was created in 1979 exactly to track down common errors in C, and until clang static analysis it was largely ignored.

No wonder that these kind of tooling keeps being ignored until we get liability in software products.
Which is also the part which completely terrifies all the animals for miles around. I dread the "fireworks season" which here in the UK stretches from Diwali until after 5 Nov with a brief coda around xmas and New Year because of the effect it has on my dog. It's absolute torture for him even though we do what we can to mitigate the impact.

> I see you've added a modal that explains how to get it to work with FF. My bad, I think I used Unddit in the past which didn't say this. I'll use Reveddit instead.

No worries. I'll just share the differences with Unddit here for any interested. AFAIK Unddit only works with threads, whereas Reveddit works with nearly any type of Reddit page, including subreddits and domains. And last I checked, Unddit shows a limited number of comments up front, whereas Reveddit loads them all. So if a thread has more than 1,000 comments, and you visit an Unddit link, it might be missing some, and you won't know to check for more unless you know how the site works. In my opinion, that's unintuitive, so I choose to load everything up front. Also, Unddit shows user-deleted comments [1] while Reveddit does not [2].

The most distinguishing features of Reveddit IMO are that it works with user pages, can restore comments from user pages, has an extension that can notify you of removals when they occur [3], it has more filters, sort options, etc.

> Besides maybe a web extension that somehow bypasses those controls? (idk if that works).

Well that's basically what the modal describes. You can customize where you want to turn it off, no extension needed.

Thank you for that. That's a concept I remembered reading about, but I couldn't remember the name and had no way to find it again.
That fee was for external factors causing the deal to fail. Musk was already committed. His attempt to walk away was construed as breach of contract, and he would be liable for much more than the fee if that had happened.
Polylactic acid is a generally safe plastic, but it is not particularly digestible by bacteria and so on. It's considered "degradable", but only in specific environmental situations or in an industrial setting. Also, Most flavors of "PLA" (both used in 3D printing and without) are mixtures, though. 3D printing "PLA+" and "PLA Pro" are usually mixed with acrylic or with thermoplastic urethane.

(I do some 3D printing, and this is a big reason why I try to cut down on waste as much as is practical - and also why I'm trying to do more and more with PET/PETG. Even though I have a PLA-and-friends recycler in my area who just takes the stuff, the recycling paths for PET/PETG are more broadly available and understood. For prototyping, I've been trying to move more towards Algix Alga as much as possible, though it's tough because it's pricey and rarely in stock.)
While, yes, they do support k8s, they have independent solutions to many of the same problems.
That model has made a comeback several years back. I have friends who get vegetables delivered in wooden crates every week and return the crate at the next pickup. At a supermarket where my parents live, you can't get meat and cheese wrapped in plastic but have to get a container (admittedly a plastic one) that you then can bring every time.
Where did you find your job from?
I think you are on the right track but may be over estimating the "average" internet user capabilities?

I had to migrate a couple of projects from awful, big ridden, wysiwyg editors to markdown and it's a huge challenge. Many people expect everything to work just as Ms Office/word does. Anything behaving in any way different than their benchmark is wrong..

Now, going from such a mindset to Markdown is a huge endeavour. You need to re-educate your user. Many will never appreciate the raw, code-like nature of markdown and will dread it the entire time they have to endure it.
Given the positive results of commercial drones in Ukraine over the last 8 months, I've been wondering about when this kind of tech is going to converge with the war.

If you can equip 20+ drones with grenades, controlled by a single operator, and mass a formation on an entrenched Russian position, what can be the results?

It's trivial today to equip commercial drones with individual human tracking. Or identify groups of a few hiding in a bunker or a hole. Sky really is the limit.

Imagine a military level version of a drone swarm targeting a major encampment or forward position. Combine a combo of arms from grenades to small missiles with the ability to identify unique targets of interest.

An average HIMARS missile costs about $100k. You could get dozens of highly capable commercial drones for that price. Imagine a swarm of hundreds of military drones carrying "small arms" but able to individually target enemy positions on a dynamic real-time basis.

It's honestly kind of scary and awe inspiring about how effective such relatively low cost mass deployment systems could be.
I listened to Body Count in the 90s and then rediscovered them a few years ago when their remake of Institutionalized was recommended to me by Spotify. The lyrics on that one are hilarious.
Composting plastic makes no sense. When bacteria eat the plastic they produce CO2. Just burn the plastic in power plant and you'll have the same amount of CO2 plus energy.
If you browse political/country subreddits (r/india for me), this is the only correct way to browse that subreddit because a slight agreement with a new government policy/good news regarding India gets removed by mods pretty quick.
It is fascinating that people feel justified ignoring the user experience on Twitter when talking about whether to use Twitter.

I don't know what it "really means" when all the motivations, incentives and goals are unpacked, but there are surely some fascinating lessons here to be learned. Previously I've only seen social networks come under pressure when the user experience changed markedly so this seems new.

Journalism exists to tell what is going on and why. They are not part of some post-modern maxism class struggle.

Except as part of interviews, they should not be speaking to power at all, they should be explaining things to their readers, so they can make an informed decision. Sometimes that means telling them what the powers that be are planing to do and explain it better than they can, sometimes it means digging through expenses and reveal that power corrupts.
Claude Lévi-Strauss visited an Indian tribe and asked them to draw a map of their village. Everybody draw the huts as a ring. But the ring was drawn in two incompatible ways. Some emphasized a central gathering place in the middle of the village in their drawing, and drew the huts around that, some closer, some further away. Others drew a clear line between the village: the people on one side, and others on the other side.

This is essential to how people conceptualize disagreement. At the root of the disagreement is something sacred, something taboo, which cannot be openly discussed. Some people consider others to be closer or further from the taboo. Other people think that there is a line that divides incompatible views about the taboo.

The immediate reaction to this description is very likely to be a misunderstanding if you think about it in the context of an actual divide. Nobody is above the taboo, including you, although everybody thinks they are above the taboo. You cannot escape it with "logical thinking", because both sides conceptualize the taboo in incompatible ways. The logical thinking happens within this conceptualization. The immediate reaction is to blame one of the sides of the discussion of misunderstanding.
There was a brief push for "keep cups" that seemed to have growing momentum ~2019, but that came to a halt with COVID and it seems isn't coming back any time soon.

I think the fundamental problem is plastic is cheap and companies have zero need to factor in the environmental costs. It's pointless to blame the consumer for buying something that they can afford, these products that do terrible damage to the environment need to be made unaffordable through taxes on the companies producing them.

From your past comments (i was curiois and checked) i see that you cant pass the oportunity to mention Griffin and Starlink and this somehow indicates that sole purpose and motivation for musk is DoD contracts, and hes in the game only for military purpose.

Yes military will use thing they can to theyr advantage, but acording to your logic all industries that manufacture anything of use for military is doing everything they do ONLY becaus of DoD.
Honestly, the whole business of shareholders suing companies is a bit crazy given they were also the beneficiary of any ill-gotten gains and, ultimately, any damages come out of the share price.

I realize in this case it's effectively one subset if shareholders trying to get paid at the expense of other shareholders but it feels like there should be a higher bar for this type of litigation.
UNIX and C are symbiotic, for a long time, C would be the only compiler in the box, eventually C++ joined the party as they share the same origin.

Anything else required buying the product and justify why the compilers in the box wouldn't do it .

When UNIX SDKs became commercial, it was even worse, you would naturally one buy the main one, not pay twice for programming languages.

Then the UNIX clones also followed the same culture focusing on C for the clones. Early versions of the GNU manifesto explicitly refer that C should be the preferred language.

That is how we landed here.
There's a question of correctness for any system, no matter how closed or open.
Then your understanding is incorrect.

It starts out with "A user need _not_ satisfy". They're saying funding has nothing to do with MAU. The language is pretty clear - "while logged into their account, at any point during the relevant month".

If you don't like it, I get it, but you've offered nothing than "I say they're shady!"
These stats are bad metrics. Without retention information Mastodon could be shrinking despite cumulative sign-ups going up 2k/hr

Personally I've signed up four different times and only used Mastodon for a couple months one of those times. Meanwhile I've only ever signed up for Twitter once and I've been posting to it weekly for over a decade. One twitter "new user" and four Mastodon "new users" but the latter didn't retain me.
I got in trouble for using this in 10th grade. It was such a problem they had hire an IT guy to prevent this from happening. Being labeled as a hacker was odd for using a tool that seemed easy to use.

The "radical and literally proviolence people pressuring you" refered to Alex Jones and Trump pressuring. Them pressuring Musk does not make Musk center left.

> He was literally pushing for peace talks in the Ukrain-Russia war, where lots of people are dying right now.

That does not make Musk left nor anti violence. It rewards violence. It makes him either naive or pro Russia.

It allows Russia to torture and continue genocide in territories it has. It rewards it for invasion and creates situation in which Russia will logically invade again.
"Something very useful isn't perfect. We must stop."

No, we shouldn't. Conference videos are great. The only alternative that is likely to happen is no videos. Clearly worse.

Yes, because UNIX authors decided it was more fun to create C and ignore the history of safer systems programming.

They were also open about it, and thus created lint for validating the code, which most people ignore when writing C code.

I've been using the new UI. I have no sentiments towards the old UI.

But the new UI is horrible. For one thing, there is no distinction between the gutter and the editor - it just looks like your code has an extra level of indentation, especially in languages for which almost the entire file is a single class, so all the business code is already two levels deep of indention.

And when the cursor is at the first of last line of a file, there is no visual indication that this is the end - the UI outside the editor looks like the UI inside the editor and the single pixel border is flush with the highlighted cursor line and the same color.

There are lots of little paperclips like this. I'm sure that I could adjust the colors of the theme (I use the dark theme) to address some of them. But by any measure everything related to the UI is either comparable or worse that the legacy UI - I've searched in vain for anything actually better in the new UI.

Happy to answer any questions or check anything specific.
Congratulations, but that is unrelated to what Twitter is doing. How would your Solaris box hold up to half a billion tweets a day distributed in near real time across a user graph with 100M nodes, all while storing those tweets durably and allowing users to search and retrieve a long history of them? It's not simple at all.

Unlike your Solaris box, they are the target of constant advanced hacking attempts. I've been a part of the response when AWS was doing urgent work because of a security incident. The company I worked at was large enough to be paying AWS over a $1M a month when one such incident required dozens of our engineers working around the clock for three days to deal with AWS's response. We weren't even directly involved in the security issue. But without that engineering effort, our product would have shut down. There were other security incidents we were directly involved in and those would have taken us down without an even bigger response (whether or not we were running in AWS).

And then there are hardware failure rates. Hard drives alone fail at a rate of 1-2% per year[0]. Not a big deal on a single box. A very big deal when you have many thousands of hard drives - multiple drives fail every day. Unless you want to WAY over-allocate storage for redundancy. Even with that, there are surprising vulnerabilities to hardware failure at this scale.

Taste often becomes worse as you gain skill though, since you now start seeing trees and stop seeing the forest. A beautiful forest is more than a set of beautiful trees, so I think an expert on trees might be even worse at identifying beautiful forests than an average person since he will focus on details that doesn't matter much.

Same for singers, a technically good singers are often bad at identifying what people want, while more popular singers have better test so better able to produce what the crowd wants. But same problem here, bands often lose taste as they become famous, they didn't lose skill they are probably more skilled than ever, they just lost their ability to tell whether what they are doing is great or not.
