Try xterm. Guy who develops it has a VT compatibility test suite, which most terminal emulators fail because they're mainly crappy xterm emulators. Xterm was/is written to actually emulate terminals.
Exactly. Think of how many products succeed just because they're "easier" than the alternatives.

You could probably be up and tweeting in just a few minutes. You could be posting or commenting on reddit (provided the sub) in just a few minutes.

I remember being interested in Mastodon as a technology a few years back. It has _always_ been confusing for a significant # of people. A decent % posts about it shouldn't be "how do I sign up, how do I follow people, how do I subscribe, which do I join, etc." That's all the Mastodon reddit was a few years back.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mastodon/top/?sort=top&t=week

Seems like minus all the posts about current events, it's still largely lots of confused users. Which sucks, because the idea seems pretty good in theory. My only qualm (besides what's already been mentioned) is what's to stop instances from colluding like reddit with it's "powermods" ? Which can honestly be worse in a lot of cases.
Hey if it improves communication even a little bit, having all the brains in one room and hashing it out seems like a perfect use of carbon. Compare that to all the for-profit corporate uses.
You don't see the risk of outsourcing your reach to a rando admin, who may have started their instance out of protest reasons, in a highly contentious, politicized climate?

There are people right now having tantrums because they want their one-sided censorship back, and indeed, that's what's behind this latest drive to promote mastodon all over the place.

Nothing has actually changed on Twitter except the bluechecks' sense that they're no longer a privileged class.

My point is that it makes sense EU agencies post on many medias and it makes no sense to limit to only one and force the citizens to make accounts on Twitter, this days you are forced to login to read it. What if I have no account or maybe an AI blocked me, I can't read some useful information.

Body doubling might help on not getting up from the chair while working on a computer. However, not having someone watching over my screen -which I’d rather not do for obvious reasons- allows me for infinite procrastination. For other kind of tasks like studying, writing on paper, or doing phone calls, I agree body doubling does the trick.
That's pretty infuriating. I have look for your model online, and apparently Toshiba decided it was reasonable to use a LED lamp instead, and they didn't make them good.

If you're used to disassembly appliances to repair them it isn't difficult to change it to a new one, or even change it to a common bulb + socket system. You shouldn't have too much danger doing that, after disconnecting it for a couple of hours, because the high voltage lines (red stranded wires) are far from that part.
These statements are all consistent.

Let me be more clear.

The article is very focused on the "evil foreigners" angle, which is understandable. I also do not like Saudi Arabia buying up farms and exporting water. But this problem is a tiny subset of the overall problem, which is unsustainable water use. I am concerned that by focusing too much on the evil foreigners, we'll end up with a solution targeted at the evil foreigners, or exporting alfalfa, and we'll end up with the same farms growing alfalfa for cows in California or Arizona which does not solve the problem at all.

What we need is to cap all water usage to sustainable levels, ideally with a cap and trade or market system which would incentivize investing in water conservation and encourage efficient land use. Given how climate change legislation has gone in the US we'll probably end up with the worst water uses being banned, and subsidies for better water uses. It's politically easier to pay people for good outcomes than to charge them for bad ones.
Ruby never went away. It just used to have an extreme amount of hype and now is a mature and, dare I say, slightly "boring" language.

This. They're right you know.

> I want a world where people have actual ownership over their computing, but federated system designs like Mastodon will not get us that and we have thirty years of failure to prove it. The press pretending otherwise because they hate Elon and see tech companies as a threat are just embarrassing themselves.

This is the media capitalising at the maximum over the emotions of the tech crowd to move to a platform that is worse than Twitter, especially in UX and is essentially a solution that is creating more problems than it is trying to solve.

It really is not early days anymore with this, and the hype around Mastodon is manufactured by outrage due to 'Elon Musk' being the new villain of the month. If you have to explain what Mastodon is, which server you have to choose and how to find which people you followed on Twitter are on Mastodon due to its poor discoverability, then it tells us that it is another pointless hurdle for users to bear with, resulting in a worse experience.

Mastodon clearly is a solution that is creating more problems for users and the media is clearly parroting over the hype and emotion to pretend that it is an alternative or a threat to Twitter.
Companies wouldn't have open registration. They'd run it like any other corporate resource, integrated into their ldap/ad/sso solution and with a corporate policy for what their employees could do on it.

Ya know, like their email servers.
On this topic, I find this article fascinating:

An AI ethics team is 100% a core team for a business like twitter. Facebook has already proven that such a team is necessary [1] to prevent atrocities from occurring. Being able to identify biases in the content selections by "the algorithm" (read: a bundle of fancy heuristics) is a core part of their job. Their job is to identify ways bad actors are abusing their content propagation algorithms and ways to mitigate these abuses.

> you can easily migrate your data to a different instance without having to leave the platform if you disagree with how it is being run.

As long as "your data" doesn't include your history, as far as I understand? You can leave your home server as long as you're willing to leave everything you ever wrote.
Did they? Alive and kicking in the UK.
I am glad someone is trying. I don't see the likes of Sundar Pichai doing anything revolutionary.

The first three seasons were amazing. Season four lost my interest after about five episodes. I don't really even know what the plot is in season four. Not sure what happened to the story line.
the fediverse has also been a safe haven for some otherwise marginalized communities too, and I am concerned that a flood of other users that are not familiar with the culture could overwhelm things and change the vibe significantly.

Also worried about what happens when advertisers & corporate money finds its way to the fediverse. Where users go, advertisers always follow, sadly.

We'll see how long this new surge lasts. I have 2 accounts on different instances and watched a 3rd that I used a lot vanish along with the instance itself when it became flooded with very illegal content.
So if user A signs up on instance A, they can follow instance B and interact with users on instance B?

Effectively, if you follow enough instances, it would look/feel like twitter? In the sense that you get a feed of interesting content from multiple users?

> The slowness and bugs might be due to the sudden influx of people from Twitter

Yeah definitely, feels like they should have seen this coming though. They have an opportunity that won’t come around again, and poor performance and confusing UX seem like pretty serious problems.
> What Biden says about intervening is just bluff. And China knows this.

> And then there's the prospect of the Taiwanese not even WANTING to fight their own brethren. Sure, they want to remain independent if they can, but if China decides to invade their armed forces will simply throw away their arms and go home. Do we want our soldiers to lose their lives for a people that hasn't even demonstrated their will to fight for their independence? Fuck that!

For the US, the war over Taiwan is not about Taiwan. It is essential to understand this. It is why the US will definitively go to war. If China takes Taiwan, US influence and interest in the entire region falls like dominoes.

The threat to US hegemony is more important than the market value of a few companies.
Unless they are a little kid or machismo simpleton, I don't think anyone who's done a couple days of a "noob basics for tender civilians" training is gonna mistake themselves for an experienced soldier. Especially not when they're exposed to plenty of "real" coverage of a real war, right next door.
The extreme and somehow flowery language in all these posts from Twitter engineers is so indicative to me of some kind of delusional rot. “My team worked SO hard every single day to Change The World, the smartest people on the planet Earth, the greatest engineers ever to touch a keyboard, no one has our scale, no one has our problems.” So caught up in their own bullshit that they are like fat, happy hens who don’t see the fox in their midst named Elon. It reminds me of Billy Bob Thornton in Fargo Season One. “The maps used to say ‘there be dragons here’. They don’t anymore, but the dragons are still there.” These people live in a bubble where they reinforce each other.

> creating legal property rights to land previously held in common.

That's not a use of land ownership, that's an amoral redistribution (theft) of land.

They took ownership from one party to another. The amorality was the transfer, not the ownership. Unless you think both parties are equally amoral for owning the land in the beginning and the end of the process.

The argument you're making would be like saying it was amoral for plantation owners to own the land they held because they had slaves. The problem is the slaves (and all the evils that came with it), not the plantation.
In both Flemish and Dutch media, I've seen Mastodon pop up several times in the last week. It seems to be this is because quite a number of Flemish and Dutch Twitter users (known journalists, tech commentators, etc.) have started using it.

You're underselling modern medicine and giving rubicon33 way too much credit. This isn't merely academic, it isn't merely correlations, it isn't speculative, and it isn't a mess of competing explanations. Hair transplants are a common and reliable intervention for male pattern baldness.

If MPB were due to a tension mechanism, transplants wouldn't work. But they do. If MPB were due to a tension mechanism, surgical intervention would be simpler than transplanting thousands of follicles. But it isn't. If MPB is due to an endocrine mechanism, which it is, transplanted hair would behave differently than adjacent "native" hair against the progression of balding. It does.

Billions of transplanted follicles on millions of balding heads testify to the fact that rubicon33 is way off base.
@JamesianP - You're exactly right about the heady requirement lift. And there are plenty of widely-defined computational chemistry jobs, especially when you throw in the bio- prefix.

As for the adjacent niche bit, right again as you are about experience. My time as a so-called "data scientist" was never really the best fit, and I could never compete with the folks who do Kaggle competitions and have a real passion for AI/ML (which, to me, is one of the defining points of "data science" today).

However, I've logged a lot of time over the past 30+ years in front of the terminal, so fingers crossed!
Why don’t we apply that logic to other things? If you want carrots, move to where the carrots are grown. If you want a car, move near a car factory. You want oil? Move to Saudi Arabia.

Everyone benefits from specialization and trade. I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t apply to water too.
This may be the only time this phrase has ever been warranted, but...crypto solves this?

I mean, you want decentralization but Mastodon is decentralized at the whim of whoever happens to own your server. So, what if you had a bunch of fungible providers all incentivized to etc etc...
Do you understand that Taiwan would love to do exactly that, but that China would take such a statement as a declaration of independence and would engage in military action?

Taiwan literally wants to do exactly what you proposed. They want to renounce having anything to do with China.
You can think of a Galois field as a specially chosen permutation of a set of numbers such as 0-255 and a redefinition or remapping of the arithmetic operators + - * / such that each one is reversible: if a op b = c, then given c and b you can find a by applying the inverse of op. (In normal arithmetic of course, multiplication and division aren't reversible because of zero.) The actual operators aren't ADD SUB MUL DIV, but they are like them in the sense that they are easy to implement in a hardware ALU as functions over bit patterns.

This unlocks all kinds of clever techniques. For example, it lets you efficiently compute a "rolling" hash of every n-byte substring of a document, by simply sliding an n-byte window across the document one byte at a time, multiplying the previous hash by the incoming byte and dividing by the outgoing byte. This has lots of applications in cryptography, compression, searching, and so on.
WW1 trench warfare was dominated by artillery, which caused the majority of casualties, more than machine guns, rifles and disease combined. That is why casualty rates favored the attacker - they were sweeping up the suppressed remains after an overwhelming artillery barrage.

The same applies in modern warzones, what works as a defensive position against a gun-armed mob doesn't necessarily work against infantry with military weapons including mortars and grenade launchers, and vice versa - if you know your opponents don't have proper equipment, you can effectively make deadly defensive positions which modern militaries wouldn't be able to use against their opponents.
The main thing I’ve done is take RTMP/RTSP from network cameras (im doing this for traffic cameras) and push to HLS. This is very powerful as you can take a camera that otherwise would require a special viewer and play in any modern browser with no plugins. Also HLS is over HTTP, so it’s cacheable.

I have to craft the ffmpeg arguments fresh each time I do this, but the main reason I commented was because many ffmpeg tools - like handbrake and jmeter load testing plugins etc are geared towards fixed length inputs, not indefinite live streaming cameras.

There are plenty of streaming servers etc, but just seems like there is a missing niche for lightweight ffmpeg tooling that helps do this.
> It's not an overreaction or hysteria

But it's literally the definition of that......
You are not supposed to use this website so UX really doesn't apply.

This is the Mastodon instance of official EU accounts, not a website where you can sign up. You can follow any of these official EU accounts from other Mastodon instances since Mastodon is federated. Your gateway to Mastodon is the website of the instance where you sign up or one of the many Mastodon client apps.

What would likely happen is that you see something "retweeted" (boosted) on your timeline by some other account you're following and this perhaps makes you aware of one of these official EU accounts, the exact same way it works on Twitter. You don't need to care about the fact that it is posted on another instance, however in this particular case you can consider it a form of verification.

> On a macro level rich people do that in their own neighborhood

That's what nomadism does - bring in to neighborhoods people who are relatively far richer than the locals.

> digital nomads, and even expats are barely a drop in the bucket

Sorry, but nomads and expats are a major source of complaint in the locales they flood, and many of them are also aware of it and they complain about it.
Yeah - it wouldn't surprise me if Elon eventually puts Jack back in as CEO.
If the group's core values include mutilating infants, and if the group's values widely affect the actions of the population (as is the case in the US), then it is absolutely neccessary to share advice that goes against those values in order to negate those harmful effects.

You use "miniscule risks" as an argument - the problem isn't the risks of circumcision, it's the circumcision itself. It is (in majority of cases) a completely unneccesary form of mutilation.

It seems to me that your argument boils down to "how dare you tell people mutilating infants is wrong when my culture has been mutilating infants for millenia?". Most people don't circumcise their kids because of religion - and those they do won't listen to this advice anyway.
Oh, ok. I think we are in agreement - I didn't mean to suggest that there were long-term effects years after quitting, but that there are long-term effects of use - which perhaps I should have described as "effects of long-term use."

I agree that the jury is not in yet on whether there are long-term effects years after cessation except for adolescent use (and - by the way - old people: if you are over 70, smoking pot does appear to retard dementia and cognitive decline).

Because (1) they originally used the '' character. In ASCII, the cat is 'c'. Does it bother you that it doesn't turn around?

I can't say I've ever heard anyone complain about 'sliding' or 'moonwalking' before. Mostly because they're just disappearing from one coordinate and appearing in the neighbouring one.
Also with this setting there's no defensible reason for the device to be constantly listening and analyzing everything you say.
Agreed.

Also, there's a bit of "you can't get there from here" problem : maybe you need to start writing familiar, personal stuff, to practice, get into a habit, develop better writing skills, gain confidence, etc - so that when you do have something truly unique, you are ready and capable of putting it down in an engaging and I understandable.

(also, "style" matters. James Mickens does not necessarily say anything "new", but he says it in a way that's entertaining and enables you to see things from a new perspective. I enjoy Terry pratchett and patio11 for their writing style even when they're not sharing extraordinary insights. Not every piece of writing needs to be cutting edge technical research. And practice is important for that).
Companies have to get certified, especially ones who handle payments. An auditor can absolutely push for better controls. Will they? Or will Paypal care? That I do not know, but getting pressure from multiple angles can't hurt.

Aerospace had a lot of overqualified, underutilized engineers that were spectacularly easy to tap into with a little bit of extra money and a very interesting project.

That does not hold for Twitter. There is no magic clump of overqualified, underutilized people to tap into without throwing LOTS of money around. On top of that, Twitter mostly isn't that interesting.
and also figuring it's spire, that is no more.
