Being good looking isn't that important for being charismatic. It helps, sure. Persuading people is harder for someone who looks funny. But charisma isn't about how someone looks or what they wear.
> I also don't need to follow toxic people on Twitter

I mean that is true in a sense, because Twitter invests a lot of work to bring the toxicity to you whether you want it or not.
Why does Mathics not make use of jupyter notebooks? It seem they are reinventing the wheel a bit.
It's a site for technical discussion, it's important to get the details right (/s)

Agreed. Personally, I tend to be far more detail focused on discussions here than on Reddit, my work Slack or in real life, and it definitely crosses over the line into pedantry sometimes. I'm nowhere _near_ as pedantic in person.
The emotionally charged words and false/baseless assertions of my position and motivations in your comment indicate a strong attachment to a position.

I didn't say and don't think "this was his plan all along". I've done nothing to make excuses for him and I don't pretend he is infallible (indeed I once wrote an op-ed in a national daily newspaper examining his flaws [1][2]).

Occam’s razor requires us to believe what all the evidence indicates and nothing more: He was originally willing to buy it at the price offered in the prevailing market conditions in April, then the market crashed and suddenly the price he offered was too high, so he tried to negotiate/force a lower price (and we must assume his investors/financiers were demanding this as any professional investor/financier would), and when this failed he just went ahead with the purchase, which he always said he was committed to.

The only thing there is evidence for is that he wanted to reduce the price, just as anyone would after such a market decline. To believe anything else requires mind-reading, which you seem to be trying to do not only of Musk but also of me.

So, please, stop trying to read people's minds and just look at the evidence before us!

While I can appreciate the immediate value this tool brings for some applications.

At the same time it’s an epitome of everything that is wrong with current software landscape. Instead of fixing the deficiencies in upstream, once and for all, we just keep piling more and more layers on top.

Programs having structural data and APIs inside, that get translated into human representation - only to be re-parsed again into structural form. What could possibly go wrong?

If you are already in any programming environment, many of the tools already have better built in APIs. I mean who needs an “ls” or timestamp parser. Just use os.listdir or equivalent. As someone previously pointed out in this thread, the ls parser is in fact already broken, unsurprisingly. Mixing tools made for interactive use in automation is never a good idea.

The Unix philosophy sounds romantic in theory, but need structural data, throughout, to work reliably in practice. Kids, go with the underlying apis unless your tool has structured output.
Project Veritas had some videos about Twitter employees declaring their politics & their willingness to censor political opponents. I don't think anyone on the accessibility team was interviewed but Twitter as a whole did have a political leaning. Banning people for political speech is an accessibility issue & for some reason it was allowed to continue.

I guess we’re just enemies then? I was trying to connect and discuss how I see the world based on how I lived, but you seem to only want to fight Americans. Good luck in life.
> Based on talking to those who dislike him

So anecdotal evidence?

> they're mostly pretty hating him for things he hasnt done, views he doesnt hold and traits he doesnt have

So they have actual reasons to hate him. Superficial reasons, but you didn't once mention anything having to do with it being in vogue. Evidence of it being in vogue would be people who don't know why they hate Elon, but they do know their friends hate Elon.

> no, he isnt a success because he had an uber wealthy father who owned an emerald mine, it was a tiny share in a mine and his father contributed little to Musks business ventures

This is debatable by reasonable people.

> Musk is a driven, childish, stubborn

These sound like real reasons he could be disliked rather than it being your claim that it's simply in vogue or "traits he doesnt have" in your words.

> who really likes first principles reasoning

That's part of his PR and the image he tries to convey. He fails at it quite often because of his childishness and impulsive knee jerk reactions that he falls victim to on a regular basis. He is far more driven by emotion than by reason. I mean it's highly probable he owns Twitter now by being legally held to a poorly written contract he had no real intention of following through on. It ironically seems like neither he nor many of his customers want to be at this party he ended up at.
Actually the internet is decentralised. It's just that a lot of people either don't know or simply aren't willing to trade convenience for ideological purity.

Anybody can run a web server at home, get a domain name, write a Twitter clone, host it and publish whatever content they like. And when you exceed your traffic limits you can take that web server, drive to your local co-located provider and in almost all cases they will let you grow that site almost ad infinitum provided the content isn't illegal.

You don't need to ask permission. You don't need to compromise your ideology. You can just do it.

But people don't want freedom or decentralisation. What they want is the ability to say anything they like and for everyone to hear it.
The other day I saw "Trending in Sports: The Jews" on the Twitter trending topics page. I do not want to see that. Maybe we need the "echo chambers are better than gas chambers" slogan.

It is a site for technical discussion, so it’s important to start with the assumption that nobody except yourself has any idea what they are talking about and go from there. :)

Joking aside, I do think it’s a bit to be expected in an anonymous forum. It’s quite at a tolerable level here, even if it’s not what I’d look for in my irl friends.

> So what is the difference between Musk and the previous shareholders? The main difference is that Musk put an enormous cost on the business which will be borne by twitters users and advertisers, and that cost brings twitter nothing more than having musk as an owner.

> By himself musk may be no better or worse than the previous shareholders. But just for him to rule over twitter is going to cost twitter a lot of money that will probably reduce the quality of the service.

It seems to me that his product-focused ownership (remember, he's a big user of Twitter) will either make it better or he will run it into the ground (due to naïvety and incompetence in this domain). Both seem like a win/win situation to me.

I think he has very strong incentives to make Twitter better because it is his stage, both for marketing his companies but also to stay int he limelight (ego).
I use the following pattern for testing regexes:

Before I added the assertion error message, `f"Failed: {text}"`, it was quite difficult to tell WHICH example failed.

OP asked how any state change would be tested with a single 'assertion' and I provided an answer. Absolute rules are stupid, but our codebase has just short of 10k tests, and very few have more than one assertion.

The only reason I can really see to have more than one assertion would be to avoid having to run the setup/teardown multiple times. However, its usually a desirable goal to write code that require little setup/teardown to test anyways because that comes with other benefits. Again, it might not be practical or even possible, but that goes of almost all programming "rules"..

> If Twitter becomes interoperable with other services, this is literally the opposite of tech neofeudalism.

It's not interoperable. It's controlled by one person. Like Facebook. When that changes we can discuss it. But until then, it's just an empty promise.
I suppose a more important reason is the "not have to bound anything" part. OS kernels almost definition don't know how many objects will be created. Implementing queues as vectors of pointers will require dynamic allocation and/or introduce many more failure points when going out of resources. With linked lists, once you have an object you can always append it to a linked-list queue.
Manpads have changed massively. There are still 30+yo systems in the field, which gives a false impression of the tech, but there are also very sophisticated new systems too.

> if the bots can be kicked out

The problem is that people disagree about the term bot.

It should mean an account whose content is controlled exclusively by an algorithm.

But instead it has come to mean anything they consider low-quality which often includes a lot of real people who are either paid to do so by state actors, have been radicalised or are just looking to troll. And it's very hard if not impossible to detect and ban those people.
I had spinal anaesthesia, which is painful, but not very much (however, it does involve a lot of those stupid conversations: don't move! how can I not move, you're sticking a needle in my back, I'll fucking flinch).

I've had many local anaesthesias and I don't remember any hurting more than they should, like any shot you get, except it lasts a few seconds and then it's just the weird pressure sensation as they keep pushing whatever the anaesthetic is in. I have two plates and probably 20 screws next to my knee that I should remove at some point, but I wanted to get this one out of the way... Were they bothering you, btw?

Anyway, surgery wasn't bad, they even gave me a nerve block that lasted 10 more hours, so about 8 hours of no pain. Now it's not so bad, except if I press on my Achilles' tendon (which they cut to extend it), which sucks, and walking is very hard since blood pools in the foot and it starts hurting after 5ish minutes.

All in all, it's painful, but with very low doses of tramadol (and huge of paracetamol), it's bearable.

Instead of centralised service users each have their mini server that can communicate with others. As a user you give acces to certain data on your pod to other users. Of course the other user than has acess to this data.

How it is iseful? Imagine notes app or todo app that you download but it works only on data in your pod. The data is not sent anywhere, its like a desktop app on your computer but 24/7 on and you can connect to it online.
It is largely a cultural thing. At my current place I can discuss endemic industry issues with relative freedom without fearing for my job. At some places mentioning tech debt is enough to bother some higher up with a chip on their shoulder.
What Musk says publicly is basically useless. All the truly important information about him has been the result of deep investigations through papers and documents and third party accounts.

So yeah, Musk gets investigated very often so we know things that he would rather keep hidden. Now what about your Mastodon admin with an anime profile picture?

> Some people are really stuck in the same year of their 10 (or 20, or 30) years of experience.

I think this has manifested even more with the transition into .net core and now .net 5 and beyond. There are so many things changing all the time (not that I complain), which can make it difficult to pick up what's the current mantra for the language and framework.

I love bass. I have build a very large, "dub" soundsystem, which uses a 6,000 amplifier, 18" speakers and folded-horn cabinets which way literally half of a ton. It can literally shake the paint off of walls.

I also have tinnitus so bad that it's very disruptive to my life (which I had before I discovered the joy of big bass). One thing that I've discovered is that playing large amounts of tactile bass will make the tinnitus go away completely for a few days after playing, with the benefit lasting to some extent for a few weeks after. I've researched it and talked to some specialists who suggest there is a physiological basis for this effect, but that has not been properly explored.
Don’t forget, it’s not a choice between Twitter and a federated alternative. You can happily use neither.
You went from "action" to "effective action" from the previous comment to this one. Important difference.
And you should. If the opposite could not have been published, or would have had enormous donwsides, you should discount its objectivity, same like if I pull out a knife and demand your wallet, one should discount your voluntariness.
I thought that it was frowned upon to use tor for high bandwidth uses like video ?
Yes, it's right to some great extent. However, overall frameworks or useful frame of references do stay similar. The book "First 90 days" and "Unspoken rules" do talk about finding these similarity and differences to keep in mind, while starting in a new organization.

>It’s better to say I think the authors should have thought about X rather the author is a moron and incompetent for not doing X.

It is probably less being a moron or incompetent than having an agenda would be the likely complaint ... depending on the subject matter that is. I suspect this is much more of a problem is social sciences than, say, pure mathematics.
My take: science has been politicized. As a result people feel like they are entitled to share their (often naive and inexperienced) opinion.

Problem is this: science is not democratic. Consensus plays a role, but not everyone getting to the point were you are equipped to peer review others often takes years of effort and study. That’s unavoidable, given that the easy questions have already been answered.

A single … “folkloric” comment is not problematic. When 60% or 75% of the comments are like that, the problem is that the subreddit isn’t science any more. It has become “wacky theory time”.

So at that time you have a choice: either you moderate, in order to keep the channel on-topic, or you accept everything, at which point the guys who benefit from science not being available to the general public have won.

Of course this moderation process isn’t going to be perfect and there will be false positives.

I have been on the receiving end of a campaign organized by a somewhat popular forum in order to fill up a direct democracy platform with as many memes and random shit as possible. The worst night I just had to hide everything that was posted, the signal to noise was too high. This meant that some legitimate proposals where lost. It wasn’t a perfect solution either, but it was the only one we had.

From my experience, I think without moderation r/science would become “aliens built the pyramids” in a week.
> I don't think anyone on the accessibility team was interviewed

So you don't have a source to back up your claim.

> Banning people for political speech is an accessibility issue

It is not. [1]. You don't get to widen the definition of things to make them so broad as to include your claim.

Accessibility is the design of products, devices, services, vehicles, or environments so as to be usable by people with disabilities.

The world is made up of phenomena that mostly are pretty complex and require explanations that are equally complex.

Unfortunately the world is filled with people who lay on others the responsibility to "explain complex things in a simple way" or else be labelled bad communicators. Those are mostly people whose minds can't handle complexity and who are engaging in cognitive dissonance reduction. They don't like to think of themselves as dumb, so they'd rather think of their opposites as bad communicators.

But there is no such thing as a "complex thing explained simply". There are only the kinds of explanations that H. L. Mencken speaks of when he says:

"Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong." [1]
