It's not about our moral opinion of him, which is irrelevant, because he's dead. It's about how he failed politically. Committing a religious sacrilege so offensive to people that they killed him for it is politically incompetent. Our moral judgement of that fact -- as readers of HN in the year 2022 -- is irrelevant to his political fortunes in the year 222.

Let's say that you're an English king in the year 1680. You're openly Catholic in a fanatically Protestant country; and for that, you get deposed. From our moral opinion in the year 2022, that king did nothing wrong.* From a political point of view though, he was terrible. And his "terribleness" was caused by him being an openly Catholic king in England in the year 1680. It was the worst thing he did politically because it ended his political career.

If you don't understand, then you should stop commenting about politics or history, because you're too naive.

* - I'm guessing you have the same moral opinion as me about this.
If it was created thus then it could hardly be considered successful. To all but the dedicated and obsessive cognoscenti APL is nothing but gobbledygook.

Looks like this blew up on Hacker News right after I went to sleep.

I would encourage people to read the first paragraph more carefully:

> There are many terrible stories emerging about how this went down, but one that particularly struck me was that he laid off the entire accessibility team. For me this feels like a microcosm of the whole situation.

That's not me saying "I quit because he fired the accessibility team".

That's me saying "There are many terrible stories emerging about how this went down" as a shorthand for how this has been one of the worst-handled layoffs I've ever heard of in my industry - see https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1588517143490199552

And then "For me this feels like a microcosm of the whole situation." - I'm using the accessibility team here as a single representative instance of how I feel about the decisions Elon has been making, but I disagree with practically every other decision he has made in the last 8 days.

I'm sorry (OK, not sorry) I didn't write a detailed essay about the many reasons I was leaving Twitter.

The goal for my post was to talk about the things I was liking about Mastodon so far.

I'd also encourage people to read about the "trust thermocline", which really helped me understand why, at least for me, things were going downhill far too quickly to continue wanting to ride it out and see what happens: https://mastodon.social/@garius/109279394369832433
That article literally says that the organization happened on facebook and only referred to that tweet. But that is cherrypicking, the rally had already been organized and was being advertised on all channels. We know for a fact that these groups primarily operate on Facebook. They could just as easily posted a short video of the man saying something similar. Twitter is incidental here.
And at the same time, any of his company's accomplishments are often attributed to him. You become an idol so you receive the good and the bad feedback.
The other major challenge Intel has that contract manufacturers like TSMC don't is an addiction to inflated monopoly level margins on their chpis. The entire organization is bloated and unable to control costs meaningfully like TSMC because they simply haven't had to given the profit margins on CPUs. Contract manufacturers have to be nimble when responding to customers, and that just isn't the Intel we know. I will be really impressed if they can overcome this baggage.
Would like to see some data on this, but it sounds like an effective rating system. I’d be concerned that getting statistical significance would be challenging without creating pseudo pairs of labelers likely to disagree on issues.

This is basically what I decided too.

Nonetheless when presented with a recycling bin, compost bin, or trash bin - I still always stand there for a split second like "uhhh" before often deciding on what I think the correct bin is.

Ask HN: How to effectively manage and structure microFramework development
Hey! I am a software engineer with just 1 year of experience :).

I currently working towards breaking our products (In Angular and .net) into manageable chunks of components and libraries. We currently have 4-5 applications, which uses most of the similar components.
I'm starting from frontend. I know how to break them; but I am stuck at how to actually ship them so my team could collaborate on them? How to structure the housekeeping for all these libraries we are making? From where and How to consume them effectively to develop projects? How does other companies making all these angular and node packages manage this? Do i just push each of these into separate Repo? Cause that seems like a bad idea..
You guys have any references or links. Sorry for all these questions?
Please Guide, Thank you!
Elon centre-left?

Nope, centre right at best. Or, if he is actually centre-left (neither of us will know), he has (for the last couple of years) been sucking up to the right. The effect is the same. I assumed he was playing each side off against each other so, again, the effect is the same as if he is right wing.

Calcanis maybe a lib, but his actions are hard core capitalist ... so for the sake of this situation, his actions will be right wing.

Sum total: rightwing.
Wikipedia doesn't have a clearly politically motivated, unpredictable leader - who didn't even want to own it/run it in the first place - at the helm of a for-profit platform, who is using said platform to wage a culture war.

Their editor culture is also pretty disciplined. I don’t think we have any reason to believe Twitter users are up to the task.
Wow, an analogy as spectacularly useless as it is distasteful.
Enabling authenticated identity online (personas) is an objectively good thing. Authenticity is a precondition for most of modern life; small things like payments, driver's licenses, voting, education, employment, surgery.

Alas, the $8/mo blue check is not that. Payment method is the only verification. No further effort is made. (Please correct me as Musk's answers change.)

Instead, the blue check is nothing more than flare.

Twitter's pivot towards freemium, gacha, and ultimately Freemium Speeches™ (pay-to-say) could work.

There are precedents. Vanity press and academic journals, for instance.

And I can envision a substack, medium, or twitter that enables a marketplace for value added services. Fact checking, copyediting, visual design, and so forth. An Upwork for content producers.

Alas, I doubt that's Musk's vision for Twitter.

For that, I recommend historian Jill Lepore's podcast The Evening Rocket. https://www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/elon-musk-the-evening-rocket

Spoiler: With the purchase of Twitter.com, Musk is likely rejuvenating his original goal for X.com.
HTML. Take a look at Mathematica's documentation: https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/Solve.html
That test is asserting a flow, not features. How can you be sure that the second rollback fails because that rollback code is wrong and not because the previous two functions made some unexpected changes? Or rather, how can you be sure that the second rollback is ok if you dont know the state it was run from? Maybe the migration set an unexpected flag that made the rollbacks pass that test without working properly.

This is also the reason why tests should be run in arbitrary order, to avoid unexpected interactions due to order.

Flow tests can be useful in some situations, but they should never replace individual feature tests.
I'd guess that the €600 was not for the ambulance itself, but for a place where they put them to get sober afterwards.

I am not sure what's the common term for such place in English, Wikipedia is suggesting "Drunk tank": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunk_tank

Police takes you there if you're too drunk to be on your own, it's paid (and pretty expensive).
In all of my former companies that I've worked at save for one (Japanese Bank), staff were forced to speak English even if one team member did not know their language. Internal communication about company stuff within teams had to be completely in English, even if the team was completely composed of people in one language. Even in the bank I interned at, they had to revert to English (or use a translator) if they needed to tell me something (even though I was making a conscious effort to learn the language).

I can't really fathom a FAANG tolerating such flouting of social norms tbh. It's rude and unacceptable in so many ways.
That sounds like an argument against excess validation rather than against types (maybe because of blog-driven development showing minimal examples of the power of types?).

Picking on one of those points, suppose emails are just strings. What then prevents them from getting used as names, identifiers, and other unrelated data? Just your continued vigilance as a programmer and hoping that nobody ever carelessly names the field "address" so that mistakes can slip by over a series of devolution commits.

You might not know much about what an email is, but you know _something_ about how you expect them to behave and be used, and if you like the computer to automate your work it's not totally unreasonable to rebind the string type as an email type and require explicit conversions at the point of use to treat it as anything other than just an email. There's zero runtime cost, it's not much more code, and that class of bugs is greatly reduced except for at the boundaries of the system.

Maybe that effort isn't worth it, or maybe your domain changes fast enough you'd have a lot of churn, or maybe those bugs aren't too important, or whatever. Using types to help you reason about the things you do know and do care about can be a huge productivity boost though, so I wouldn't just write the whole technique off.
nope, just a 7-bit ASCII char
Why do you want to bother with that, fake emails are a dime a dozen, no need to bring the real corporation into the picture.

Fair enough. But I think in generals polls need a fake answer for bots, trolls or they will contaminate the other results further. See the reference to the Lizardman's Constant someone linked elsewhere in this thread.

Julia has this via a package: Measurements.jl.
And I would stipulate to that.
I want to point out that in practice, Common Lisp is also to some extent statically typed. The compiler will issue warnings if there are forms that it can determine (at compile time) would cause type errors at runtime. It's common practice to not accept code unless these errors are eliminated (one can even set up your compile system to abort when they are found.)

What it will not do is reject the program unless it can confirm that every expression will not cause a type error.

Even worse: the trial was probably sign up with card before you buy and many people with ADHD will still be _paying_ for the service long after the trial ran out...

It sounds like a grift that knew _exactly_ who their audience was...

Yeah, I agree with that. I had a significant feature included in the Python stdlib (os.scandir and related changes) and after it was included in 3.5, the core developers have made significant improvements to it (added "with statement" and "close" support, and so on), and I don't think I was contacted at all. I wouldn't have minded being contacted, but I'm actually quite happy I could write the initial proposal and feature and don't have to maintain it after that. :-)
"The possibility for improvement without massive government intervention exists."

One such improvement people can make without government intervention is to stop eating meat.[1]

I'm not so optimistic that this is going to happen on a large enough scale, though, to make a difference. There's too much culture, habit, and identity wrapped up in meat eating for most people to give it up any time soon.

But it shouldn’t be an error in any unit system.

# oops my scaler has a unit
x unit * x unit = x unit^2

The value isn’t catching this line of code since it’s potentially valid. It’s catching the line of code where you pass the result to a function that expects unit.
> And how would you suggest that someone could become and stay wealthy, if their only legal means to acquire wealth is to provide value to society?

The possibility of "someone" becoming wealthier than others has no value to me. I care much more about the possibility of people starving or living a terrible life due to lack of basic material needs.

> Would you rather take what you desire by force, under the pretense that you somehow deserve to own what others have peacefully acquired? That would be the mentality of a street thug.

Capitalism thrived during Nazism and Fascism. An entire economy was born out of the extermination of the Jews, and capitalists made tons of profits out of it. They also profited immensely from the now cheap and union free labor force, all thanks to the fascist police beating and arresting any unionist.

There were also wealthy people during periods where only birth right could give you wealth, and those aristocrats would not hesitate to abuse of the population with violence.

It is clear that the existence of wealthy people does not guarantee free and voluntary exchanges. If nothing, it usually pushes for the opposite.

He will be stuck at level 10 for a while, since he already communicated in so many ways that he intends to follow the laws of all countries, not yet realizing that it would mean lending a hand to dictators utilizing Twitter as a weapon, often against their own population, like in Myanmar. Following laws blindly would be an intervention on the side of a corrupt government and it's laws, neither of which is by the people or for them.

Well, avoiding ecosystems where people act dumb is a sure way to improve one's life. For a start, you won't need to do stupid things in reaction of your tools.

Yes, it's not always possible. But the practices you create for surviving it are part of the dumb ecosystem survival kit, not part of any best practices BOK.
You're making assumptions about collective behavior leading to a runaway process. Your second sentence isn't coherent "hand waved everything [you] said", but I'm guessing you mean to suggest I'm handwaving away what you said. I am not doing that. I am saying I see no reason to assume one possibility over an equally plausible alternative, especially just reasoning from speculation.
Oh sorry I didn't read your comment clearly. And no I don't think I need to support such a statement with a source. I'm sure you can find one.

Cool helicopter! It brought me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole and it looks like there's an even bigger one: the Mi-26.

Laege scale thermal storage has surprisingly low losses to the point where a 10GWh scale system can disregard them over a year. Cube square helps a lot here.

Your heat engine is where you lose all the energy.

Batteries are great and getting better. There's a reason most storage uses them, but they're ill suited to multi month storage due to cost. The best contender here is chemical fuels (which have similar efficiency penalties).

Energy vault is, at best, a very poor subsitute for batteries. A 1000 tonne block on top of a 500m tall stack can store $20 worth of solar energy and might sell it for $80. If you use it annually, then you get $60/yr. If you use it 1000 times a year it might be viable compared to current generstion batteries, but that will change quickly as there's no real way to make it more economical. Ignore it and tell anyone who suggests using it as anything other than 4hr storage they're probably being scammed.

Thermal batteries are the budget option. You can store about 5-20Wh/kg in whatever thing that's lying around that doesn't turn into a gas or become too corrosive. By every other metric they are terrible, but they are, in the most literal sense possible, dirt cheap (although you generally use low grade sand or maybe water because dirt is too valuable).

The use case is mostly providing very cheap heat with energy that is not valuable enough to store with other methods. Insofar as using the concept for work (where the efficiency penalty lies), the logic would probably be something like:

-- I have free energy noone wants (curtailed wind during midday summer)

-- I have free sand noone wants (someone dug a hole and wants to get rid of it), but it costs me a little more to move it and build a silo than I will get paid to dispose of it.

-- I have a free steam engine with its exhaust hooked up the district heating noone wants (a coal generator went bankrupt because renewables replaced it).

I'll put the heat in sand, then make steam with it in winter (extracting 20-30% of the original energy as work), then pump 50-60% of the original energy into homes as heating (losing about 20% in the pipes and steam engine and some during storage).
This! I am coding something right now that Mathematica would honestly make 100x easier, but I refuse to use it because I want my software to be FOSS, and not depend on a proprietary language.

I respect Wolfram's enginuity, but I resent his ego for keeping us all out of his walled garden.
Sure, but this is a forum for entrepreneurs and software engineers, it does not target the world demographic.

To be honest, I don't understand what "they develop faster" means either. One year of age is objectively the same length whether you're 10 or 90. What has growth speed and brain development got to do with anything?
Age is definitely a signed byte, unfortunately. Nobody has ever reached 127, and -1 is valid for foeti.
Its very different though, you don't tell it the steps to do, you tell it the world state, kubernetes figures out how to transition between changes between states and if something breaks it tries to fix it by going back to the state its supposed to be in. I think this immutable/indempotency aspect of kubernetes is a bit underappreciated, this can't possibly be compared with ansible.
The question I am wondering is twitter doing any due diligence for the 60/year you're paying to verify you are who you say you are. (Other than charging your credit card) I am guessing probably not.
