All of them. It’s very common in IT companies to provide the equipment. However, some companies are great in many ways but provide shitty computers. Then you may want to use your own equipment but you shouldn’t because it’s not going to be fixed or replaced when it fails.
> Has hacker culture truly changed this much since I came up into in the 90s?

The revolution eats its own children. The games industry used to be the target of hacker attacks, and cracking games, pirating them, was more fun than doing damage, according to the self-image of the 80th, 90th, 00th.
Who would have guessed that such a spirit could also turn against its own community, in a community where manipulation and deception took place even in the past, as long as it served one's own goals?
There has never been good and evil. Only feasible and delightful.
I regret it, however there is only so much we can do.
It's not for everyone, but I keep running notes in a special section of my blog, which is hosted on github pages, so it all just stays in sync across multiple computers on a repo. I have found it useful even for myself looking up stuff, and maybe people find your half finished notes useful or not. I'm a big fan of lowering the barrier. Perfect is the enemy of the good.

If I leave something as an unpublished draft, it's game over. There's too many things.
Yup

That’s why in a free marketplace, Elon asserted his free speech to take over Twitter due to their perceived poor management.

Maybe if they had managed more equitably, none of this would have happened. But the market giveth and the market taketh
I absolutely agree that FPTP has all the same problems, only worse because they are not made explicitly and transparently part of the voting mechanics.

I still think that ballot exhaustion is a real issue though (maybe an overblown one, but not super overblown). If you vote for the green party candidate, as per your example, but it's an RCV election, and you don't specify your preference for Democrats vs Republicans (because you're only familiar with FPTP, or you feel this would be "disloyal" to the Green candidate) then your vote would be less effective than another Green supporter who did express their full set of preferences.

Maybe it's a price worth paying, that society says "If you don't maximally fill out the ballot, then you are potentially punished by having less political power than some of your fellow citizens", but I think we need to admit that this is a trade-off we're making when we support RCV. (Again, though, it's not a trade-off relative to FPTP, which absolutely gives some voters less power, because votes for third parties are immediately exhausted, I agree).

Thankfully you're here to dramatically increase the quality of commentary.
There is a field with 256 elements, because 256 is the power of a prime. But that field is not the integers mod 256: it has different rules for addition and multiplication.
> Accessibility != User Friendly

No but many studies have shown that designs (in architecture as well as web and print design) that focus on accessibility are rated as having better UX by the general populace as well

Cutting a11y likely will also lead to a decline in UX in general
Elon internaly calls it "merchandizing" -- a Space Balls joke.
To me it's probably a combination of stress from dht exposure and mechanical stress that causes thinning and baldness once the total stress level around the follicle surpasses some threshold. You can't just dismiss mechanical stress that easily, it would be an insane coincidence for scalp tightness to correlate so closely with dht sensitivity in the absence of any causality.
Like in most other legal matters, you don't draw a line. There are situations where you are unambiguously a visitor, situations where you are unambiguously a resident, and situations where your legal status is ambiguous. If you are in an ambiguous situation, you are taking a personal risk. The risk may be minimal, and it may be worth it, but your immigration and tax situation is uncertain and cannot be known in advance.

Also, it's not up to you to determine the purpose of your visit. Immigration and tax authorities determine it by any means they want. If you disagree with them, you are wrong unless you can prove otherwise according to the criteria they use.

As a non-citizen in a foreign country, immigration and tax law are often areas where you are guilty until proven innocent. You don't have the same rights you are used to in your home country. It's up to you to prove that you are following the law, rather than for the authorities to prove that you are breaking it.

Some countries encourage tourism by not enforcing their laws. As long as you are a nice harmless tourist doing nice harmless touristy things, the authorities ignore you. But if they have a reason to dislike you, it turns out you are illegally in the country, because you didn't follow some overcomplicated process to the letter.
they were literally trying to recruit me last week
Taiwan was part of China from 1683 onwards. It became a Japanese colony in 1895, and then was given back to China at the end of WWII, in 1945.
It was an early (private invite) precursor to what others have linked in this forum for focused study groups.
No, it is interactive fiction: text-based solo games. Up until about 15 years ago it was entirely Zork-like games. But then they started added "choose your own adventure"-style interfaces, instead of open-ended language interfaces, which I don't like. But every year there are handful of really good games, and sometimes a complete showstopper.
Overtly or not a lot of their staff were employed to "don't let Twitter overtake us", that dose start to look a bit redundant.
You can say that just as well about a world without the camera hocus pocus part.
I don't think people downvote you because we "expect society to work out of goodwill and not through enforced regulations decided by the voters", but because your blanket statmenet denying the existince of moral requirements is interpreted negatively. I for one agree that relying just on morals is not enough and that regulations is needed, but your sentence is obviously not universally interpreted in that light.
I see one key difference in that we are focusing on pricing+packaging as a combined problem. We include the ability to add feature entitlements and usage limits in your plans and then programmatically check whether a customer has access to something based on the plan they are currently on. This augments your existing authorization system. It is a different approach than what Lago looks like they are going for and they don't support this now.

We also operate under an MIT license vs AGPL it looks like. So our business models may differ in the future. Looks like they definitely have some features we don't cover yet as well. Seems like a great project!
If I'm understanding this correctly this is a server hosting a bunch of fediverse instances. From the title I thought it would either be articles about good open source projects or maybe a collective developing open source projects.

Based on the comments by others here I'm guessing I was not alone in thinking it was something else.
And then races to lay off half the workforce days after coming in, based on napkin calculations that suspiciously work out to cut costs to cover the loans he took with the company as collateral ahead of time.

After trying to fight off in court the completion of this impulse buy.

If Mr. Musk turns this around after so much fumbling around, that would be the display of business acumen that his admirers expect of him, so far trying to say that these moves make sense amounts to saying that these are the tactics of a genius beyond mortal ken, because they simply don't look good.
The two may be jeg ingredients. But there must be something missing. It can't only be death as in death and procedurally generated worlds.
If you have 3 roommates who are also WFH, is WFH better for all of you?

Part of the reason why WFH seems so much better is that companies made working in the office so horrible. Anyone who promulgated open floor plans should have been summarily fired.

Alas. Here we are.
I've observed a daily rollcall at evenings in our neighborhood. They don't necessarily gather together, but they sit atop tall trees and then caw to tally everyone up in a radius of a few blocks without fail at sunset.

Haven't heard l10n. If anyone else is wondering, that's localization.

Tbh a11y is the main one that makes sense. I don't get what the point of i18n and l10n acronyms is besides saving us some typing and generally fitting into the vague category of "giving a crap about users often not considered in design"
"Anyone can get it for $8/month" is a lot closer to free speech ideals than "You can get it if you're lefty enough".
I've passed several articles years back when I used to read forbes about poor conditions for adjunct professors:

The evolution of education has already been diluted (die looted :p).

I just saw a video on California's education system in the middle of the 20th century, compared to where it is today (actually thier ecomony). Not the finest of the bunch in the 21st century.

Artillery and mortars where hardly limited to attacking or defending. Sweeping up after an overwhelming artillery barrage presupposes the attackers having artillery supremacy. In a true stalemate both sides just get hammered by artillery with neither receiving a net advantage while both rack up casualties.

As to a gun armed mob, it really depends on how capable they are. A defensive position is of limited value vs a well trained sniper using even a simple hunting rifle. The basic issue is it’s difficult to actually defend yourself without also exposing yourself. This is further degraded when talking about a single defender who can’t benefit from overlapping fields of fire etc.

Our hypothetical survivalist would benefit from training, but they don’t receive the primary benefit that keeps modern military casualties low, access to trained and well supplied medical personnel.
how about "we believe so much in a11y being everyone's job, and a legal requirement of doing your job, that we didnt want engineers pawning off that essential task to a dedicated a11y team?"

obviously not true but theres a few ways to slice this news.
It might not be 1024, but he probably has more failures than successes: Solar City, Neuralink, Boring Company, Hyperloop (he decided not to turn this into a company, but he wasted his and his other companies' resources on this so I think it is fair to consider it a Musk failure).
> If copyright enforcement was a thing in Shakespeare's time, then a lot more of his plays would be missing today; there would've been far fewer "modified forms" even partially preserving works for which the original was lost, and far less opportunity to produce copies of unmodified forms.

No. His plays were preserved and published by his friends, after his death, so that they weren't lost. Because the curtains had closed, the players had moved on, and the loss of his plays was deemed worse than the loss of monopoly over them. Copyright was originally created to remove the incentives to keep things private and secret; if you have exclusive rights to copy it, and that's protected by law, you're able to release those copies without fear of somebody taking what you've made and pushing you out.

Look at the playwrights who didn't have friends like Shakespeare's. Where are their works, now?

That being said, the world has changed since the 1600s. Copyright (with reasonable term lengths!) was necessary before we had the 'net, but perhaps not so much now.

> Either Copilot ignoring the licenses of source material is deemed legal (at which point people are free to launder proprietary code through ML models, destroying copyright law as applied to software)

The law doesn't work logically like that. If Copilot is deemed lawful, there will be justification of that decision that doesn't allow us to launder proprietary code through ML models. Because copyright isn't about author's rights, and hasn't been since… the 60s? Since some time after the Universal Copyright Convention of 1952, anyway; I'm no historian.
Real nerds don’t compete, they program
I would love to listen in on those negotiations.

If you’re reading this, and Twitter wants you back, I hope you ask for a contract with a year’s pay in advance, due before returning to work, at 10x your prior rate.

After all, you must be one of those 10x developers if Elon is willing to eat crow and ask you to come back.
Cornelis Drebbels. Not only did he invent the thermometer he also invented the thermostat—an early example of cybernetics. Basically, expanding mercury would push up a plunger than would open the door to an egg incubator. By allowing the cold air in, the temperature of the incubator would decrease until the mercury shrank and the vent closed
I don't think Twitter is worrying about that right now.
The stock market downturn has hit a lot of tech companies hard, and since that affects their ability to pay cheaply (in stock) and/or run at a loss made up by investors, they're cutting staff bills.
What was he running his mouth about? Crazy stuff like landing boosters back at the pad, or on barges in the middle of the Atlantic?
It's completely correct. You can follow say @EU_Commission@social.network.europa.eu from an account on say mastodon.nz.
Mostly people don’t care.

When I was a kid I asked adults about that whine from TV sets and none of them knew what I was talking about. The conventional answer was that adults have a hard time hearing the 15khz whine due to age related hearing loss but I am older than my parents were back then and I still hear it just fine on those rare occasions I get near a CRT.
> What if you join on "gaming" and it turns out the admin of "gaming" is a huge d-bag and all the other instances decide to not federate with "gaming" ? Will you have to recreate your entire account?

Not entirely, you can migrate to a new instance. This of course depends on the old instance still being around (as that's where your account lives until you choose to migrate it), and on your account still being accessible (so hopefully you're not banned from it) but it's an option. Your followers get migrated over but your posts do not.

So you do need to have some level of trust in the instance, but it's not necessarily a final decision.
use what you like /shrug
Is he, though, or is it simply not reported about? There are two kinds of people you never hear about - Those whose real behavior is spoken about in whispers, like Kevin Spacey, and those who are actually quiet saints, like Fred Rogers. None of Tim Cook's public behavior makes me think he's Mr. Rogers.
grad school wasn't a grind in my experience. Definitely easier and more fun than a real job, apart from the sparse high-stress deadlines of course. I think that's generally the norm in the US (except in chemistry I hear?)
Perhaps some are concern trolling, but I think it's still a legitimate problem if you want people to take up the technology. I use mastodon, but I know it's not the easiest thing to pick up. A lot of the complaining, to me, is just recognizing the common pattern of technically-minded creators not recognizing that the tech (and how it's presented) can get in the way of encouraging more users to join.
you may get an offer but not a job...

My older iPhone SE has a screen small enough that even that did not suffice . :-(
That's like saying we shouldn't have a security team because being keen on security concerns should be an expectation of every dev. Of course this is true to an extent, but obviously there's a whole field of specialization that would be unrealistic to expect of every single dev to have. Same business with a11y
As noted in the video Gauss discovered the FFT algorithm probably before anyone else, but did not bother publish it.
Another cool note about this:
https://www.cis.rit.edu/class/simg716/Gauss_History_FFT.pdf
Sure, developers should be mindful of all of these things. But if one person or team spends a lot of effort creating solid internal tools, and then they all get fired, you’ve lost a very significant amount of internal knowledge. Then who maintains the tools and updates them as the product changes? Or as industry best practices improve, as is often the case with security?

If you get to the point of having a performance or security team, you realize your org is big enough you need a couple people focusing on it full time (and their role is often helping other developers implement best practices.) By ditching them, you’re acknowledging literally that you’d like to focus less on that area in the future. As a result, product teams will do their best, but it’s impossible for every dev to be up to date on every best practice for every topic in web development. So you won’t do as well.

Maybe that’s ok as a small startup, but when your audience is incredibly large and you operate at scale, it’s not reasonable to have subpar security, performance, accessibility, etc. If you are subpar in these areas, you loose money because your audience is large enough that many are impacted.
Do you think he's crafting his tweets with hours of deliberation?
Honest question, how much time do you think he spends trying to antagonize people on Twitter per week?
that may be true but thats all the more reason to scrub often. let them make a case for keeping & selling your deleted data instead of giving them a free pass. at least it will show their real intentions. plus there is yet hope for GDPR/CCPA type regulations enforcing it wherever possible.
Just having those emails in hand would be almost a voucher for negotiating higher salary when looking for another job, they certify that you were one of the people that were vital for Twitter to run.
Meta, Amazon, hell even Twitter have reached out to me and my neighbors recently (my friend has an interview at Twitter next week). I believe even during hiring freezes these companies carry on recruitment because they're slow and can wait for the ideal role to appear in the future even if there's nothing available right now. So basically you'll get an offer without a job.
Ah, thanks! Fields are a lot less intimidating than I thought they would be! Well, I mean: the basic idea (after reading these replies + wikipedia).
The ads pay for the content that appears next to them to appear in the first place. There can be no separation at ad funded companies.
I don't agree. If someone has gotten to the point they think they can write anything about a subject it's kind of interesting. Many, many things are undocumented because they are trivial to some and completely unknown to others. Experts rarely want to spend time writing about trivial things, so the best way to get these things written is during their journey to expertise when they are new and exciting and when it feels the most scary and embarrassing to do so. In addition, I think people overestimate how long they will retain insights even for personal use. I really, really wish I had been blogging during my education.
Who knows what's best to buy right now in this environment.

I'm just making the point that, if stock A trades for $10, and one is concerned because they believe the "true" net present value of its share of the business of $5... that the situation isn't improved by buying asset B that trades for $10 but has a zero underlying net present value.

(Asset B may very well do better, because underlying values are not the only reason we buy assets...)
Can't wait to see the HN "just give Elon a chance to put his brilliant plans in motion!" crowd to explain this one to us. Enlighten us please !
I don't know how we can all believe a lot of the saga and news that is coming out of Twitter. After all the misinformation and trolls (pretending to be laid off employees) and culture of misinformation and manipulation we can trust much of the media coming out on Twitter.
"Weak man" is when you take a genuine-but-weak take from one of your opponents and treat them as representing your opposition in general. (That's not quite what you're asking for though, I think)
Emily Kopp: The Media Overlooked Covid Lab Leak Evidence [video]
I realized Elon wasn't a scientist or engineer a long time ago. But a good businessman I thought he was and I think it's too early to say in this case whether that holds true. One issue is that since the company is now private, we most likley will not get to see it's profit. All we will have is what employees or musk says. So I still think it's too soon to make conclusions.
And?

Recruiters are usually operating on weeks old info. They never find out when the freezes/cuts are coming until the day of, because any changes would tip off employees and lead to rumors/lower morale and productivity.
Seems to me the biggest challenge for Mastodon is that the most high profile Twitter users explicitly want the centralisation it provides. They are going there literally to get on a sandbox and propagate their messages to as many millions of followers as they can. They will not understand the theoretical possibility of federation - they will see anything that introduces any kind of barrier or complexity in the way of them reaching their audience as an antifeature.

I think Mastodon, or whatever else tries to follow it, needs to bury the federation aspect as a technical detail and design from the ground up something that emphasises a unified system. It's not that easy when probably a large fraction of the people building it are introverted engineers who have difficulty even comprehending how someone can want to interact with hundreds let alone thousands or millions of other people. But as long as the fundamental concept of the system is in contention with what the core user base wants, it's hard to think how it will be very successful, at least at replacing a service like Twitter.

EDIT: speling
whoever downvoted me w/o actually stating the reason is actually proving my point about needing anonymity for your opinions.
This is all-or-nothing thinking that's endemic to Silicon Valley's subsidies-as-a-service business model.

Mastodon does not have to monopolize microblogging the way Twitter has, because it isn't competing with Twitter's cursed ad-based revenue model. Similarly, the tiny niches that do migrate are likely more valuable to have than the hordes of Twitter users who never post anything, and just juice the algorithm by liking and retweeting.
I knew it was a slur in middle school
The term 'toot' is gone from the latest release. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/18583/files
We're planning to support multiple frontend too. The terminal one is just the main client.
