I would say Twitter is a lot more fun now. All we’ve talked about for better or worse for the past week has been Twitter. I personally know a dozen people who never had accounts before who have signed up.

This is all anecdotal and I’d love to see user numbers, but to deny that Twitter is popping off right now is just denying reality.
I know about this article. Thank you.

I said C is "close to" how a computer works. C is an abstraction, and most (all?) cpu architectures pretends to be c machines. There was a talk (Kelly?) where even assembly is nowhere close to what a cpu actually does.

I don't know of any other way of manipulating the cpu as closely as C and assembly. Do you?
>So IMO, “they’ve always been this bad”

Vass you dere, Charlie? [1]

Misinformation/disinformation may, I suppose, have always been pretty much this bad, but the writing quality and intelligence in the mainstream media was not.

"Journalism" today reads like an assignment written by a near-illiterate freshman engineering student in the compulsory English class, by the standards of the mid-90s. At best.

And I think the reason is obvious - modern advertising technology proved that decent writing adds essentially zero value and forced everybody to accept it.

So the people with liberal arts degrees are not wrong to hate techies. But once, even techies wrote better.

We used to live in a world where elites guessed at what ordinary people wanted, and once the data-driven creed took over, it turned out they were mostly wrong. But optimization taken too far is evil.

Being respectful and just being straight forward and direct are the same thing as long as you're not being an asshole while being straight forward and direct.

I do agree that it can take extra mental energy to translate "this idea is stupid" to "the downside of this approach is..." if you are prone to thinking in a harsh, cynical voice (I'm guilty of it). That is energy well spent.

It's absolutely critical to have some at structures in place to deal with this. While some level of this often surfaces anywhere you have human relationships, it is 100% made much worse by a bad culture that is allowed to perpetuate.

- Code of Conduct longer than 3 lines clearly spelling out expectations. Not everyone has the same "obvious" expectations.

- Clear written process for dealing with complaints, member suspensions and expulsions.

- Just get rid of people that are consistently abrasive and cause problems with multiple other people over time, no matter how good or important they are. Just blamelessly ship them out earlier than later. Somehow. But it's easier said than done. A clear code of conduct sooner than later to fall back on as the "bad guy" helps rather than needing individual people to make the "bad guy" decision. You can just follow the process and whoever it's instituted against has a clear set of rules to expect.
I've been hearing claims my entire programming career about how Lisp is supposedly "superior" to mainstream programming languages, but I've never seen a concise code example that actually demonstrates this.

For instance, it's easy to demonstrate how Rust is superior to C: Just show a short piece of code where an array is returned from a function. In C, this will involve raw pointers and manual memory management with all associated safety and security pitfalls, whereas in Rust you just return a `Vec` and everything is taken care of. Simple, obvious, real-world superiority.

How does such an example for Lisp look like? I'd love to see 10 lines of Lisp that show me something that:

1. I can't easily do in, say, Rust.

2. Actually matters in practice.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of this.

In my experience, short tasks/projects that have a definite end work the best. Do not give volunteers projects that are mission critical with hard deadlines. If you must give volunteers on-going tasks, make sure to try and recruit enough volunteers that they can rotate between different jobs/tasks. Burnout is a killer on volunteer teams. And some level of politics and drama are inescapable—a volunteer coordinator can really help keep it to a minimum though.

The biggest motivator I’ve found is resume building. Match your volunteers to things they’re interested in trying out—including soft skills! Help coach your volunteers to find the right fit!

Recognition is another huge motivator. Newsletters, meetings, special awards, you name it.

Volunteers are hard. A good volunteer coordinator is worth their weight in gold!

If anyone has specific questions, I’m happy to answer.

Well see, you are right on the first paragraph but in this context we are talking about America in the 40s specifically. I am not saying people in the past had bad morals and we are better, I am saying in that specific time things were a certain way, they were better and worse in many ways before and after. A good example I use is back in the old west when a sheriff or marshall shot someone in the back he would be hanged but these days cops shoot people in the back and get away with it most of the time.

> The goal is to not do this anymore and we keep restating the goal as a species but keep failing.

That's sort of my point. The reason we keep failing is because we are evil by nature and we must learn to do good. I was pointing out how people look at the topic if this thread and speak as if they are morally superior or wouldn't do the same thing in those times. Most of Germany supported hitler and many were complicit in the holocaust. Our failure is not as a species or a group but as individuals. Collective thinking guiding morality is exactly how these terrible things happened, because "everyone is going along with it, how can I resist or do different". You can see on social media how "canceling" people is the norm for example, collective thinking amplified, people hating and attacking others because the mob says so, not calling out their friends and peers to aboid being alienated. It isn't that we are better than americans in the 40s but that we are better off in that wr have better education and access to media as well as a great economy and more powerful military (no worries about China or Russia actually invading us now, remember, back then there was no nuclear detterence either).

I just feel like it is more important to understand and learn why we (not they) are capable of doing horrible things.
I wasn't trying to gatekeep anyone (and I make no claim to be a "Clojurist"–my Clojure experience is rather minimal). I was making a point about categorisation, taxonomy.

There is a certain category of Lisp-like languages – of which Hy, Fennel and LFE are good examples – which take an existing language, and provide a Lisp-like syntax for it, but generally keep the semantics reasonably close to that of the underlying language. Beyond the syntax, the other main addition tends to be a Lisp-style macro system. Maybe we might call them "veneer Lisps", since they put a Lisp veneer on another language, but beneath the surface it is largely the same.

Clojure isn't a veneer Lisp, because its semantics are quite different from Java – Java is primarily about mutable data, and Clojure-style immutable data structures aren't the mainstream Java approach. A JVM Lisp which dropped Clojure's emphasis on immutability could be a veneer Lisp. Armed Bear Common Lisp and Kawa Scheme are examples of mutability-oriented JVM Lisps, but they don't belong to the category of veneer Lisps either, since they are ports of pre-existing languages to the JVM, and their mutability comes from those pre-existing languages not a desire to conform to Java/JVM semantics.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with immutability, or that Clojure's focus on it is a mistake, or that one ought to either prefer (or avoid) "veneer Lisps": I'm attempting descriptive taxonomy, not prescriptivism.

It's a rewrite:

> an open source project was started whose aim was to recreate BeOS from scratch with full binary and source compatibility. This was OpenBeOS. The first release in 2002 was a community update to BeOS 5.0.3 with some open source replacements for Be code. The project name changed in 2004. With everything surrounding the demise of Be being highly litigious, it is no surprise that the project wished to avoid legal complications over their name. They chose Haiku.
> major things of value or value creation, possible core proposition, limited to a few apps

From his tweet thread. I think it's like a separate product except it's under the same company or domain name. Many companies do this. A product could be just a backend server providing API with its own database. All that is scoped by "value" .. or a target market.

This could imply that when micro services start to introduce to a system, we should question the value proposition of the whose system. We could mix up the engineering and business aspect.

I’ve had a different experience. I have been mysteriously appearing in surbl periodically ever since I switched to ProtonMail. Never had that problem in like 10 years of owning my domain, but within a month of ProtonMail sure enough, I started having deliverability issues. I usually get removed fairly quickly but it was still extremely disruptive when important emails would randomly not get delivered. It hasn’t recurred in a year or so, but the situation with no calendar integration is driving me crazy. That’s another topic… I think I am done w Proton though and am going to give in and sell my soul back to the devil.

My problem with these explanations is that they (much like TFA of this post) seem devised to downplay the sacrifice and tenacious resistance of the Soviet Army. "They didn't win the war, General Winter did!". But that's shortsighted. Jonathan House has an interesting lecture, avaliable on YouTube, refuting that narrow view, as well as others. He does make a big deal of how bad German logistics and planning for Barbarossa were -- he claims German logistics guys predicted accurately when Barbarossa would run out of steam, but were ignored -- but he also stresses how the Soviets resisted and ultimately outmaneuvered the Germans in WW2. This is a tough pill to swallow for the German-influenced American view that the Soviets were useless and won just because of large numbers, General Winter and of course American help.
I am considering betting my next big project on Nim. If it works out and I can work on it full time then I'll have lots of time to help Nim!
Reminds me of Houellebecq: "A writer needs to walk," said Houellebecq [...]
"Trying to write if you have no possibility of walking for a few hours at a brisk pace is extremely unadvisable. [...] The accumulated nervous tension of thoughts and images (conjured at the writing table) will not dissolve and continue to turn in the poor head of the author, who becomes rapidly irritable if not mad."
BeOS 5.1 with the network stack patches is nice.

That wasn't leaked until after Be stopped operating.

5.0, which was almost usable was only out for about 8 months before Be stopped operating.

4.5 and prior?

What does the dog say? "Ruff"

Yeah. 4.5 and prior could spin some teapots but not much else. By the time "good" BeOS came out all computers could spin teapots and Windows PCs had 3d hardware acceleration. BeOS barely had 2d hardware acceleration.

In the year 2000, after five years of development, BeOS didn't have multi-user support, a stable network stack, or USB mass storage support.

I think that people are remembering with rose-colored glasses about 5.0 (which if I remember right was "oops leaked lol" for free on a magazine disc) or 5.1 with all of the patches which started circulating after all of the laid-off Be employees started dumping files online.

Those of us who struggled for months to get BeOS stable and useful on our Performa 6400/200s have more bittersweet memories.
I know Musk skeptics (a group I include myself in) will laugh at this, but it's only hard to believe if you actually buy the myths surrounding Musk.

His main contributions to his companies are:

- micromanaging employees' work

- whittling the workforce down to workaholic acolytes that will try to materialize any of his whims

- coming up with aforementioned whims (sudden, strong decisions about the direction the company will go in)

- "managing" PR to mixed success (great for Tesla's stock price, bad for Twitter's ad business)

If he's splitting his attention between companies, the main thing he won't have time for is the micromanagement, which is arguably better for the companies. It means competent people at the top can more confidently build track in front of the train, since they know what direction it's going for a while.
I'd imagine they'd have a lot of legal/regulatory liabilities if they acted like a bank too.
> You only needed to learn some HTML. There was no CSS, no JS…

The page linked in response is mostly CSS, and (I just went to a laptops to check) the first few lines are javascript google tags.

I think the original point was supposed to be that websites used to be just content wrapped in some simple HTML, which was easy to learn. But now the level of complexity is higher and so is the barrier to entry. I agree with this point.

So when someone replied saying “what’s stopping you from [building simple HTML sites] in 2022, thats what I did”, I was confused to see a site that included JS and was mostly CSS. Because it was seemingly trying to contradict a point about no CSS and JS. Honestly it feels like spam.

Its tangental, but I agree the source seems hand written and seems to have a well done minimalist approach, which is respectable. I regret the negative tone to my original response.

Also idk about you but I've been in tech about a decade, seen a lot of the changes the startup era has wrought on our world and I can't hear "move fast and break things" as anything positive anymore. I wish we had gone a little slower, we broke some things I think we needed.
Even now over 20 years later we still haven't had anything near as cool as BeFS.

As some body who has been through this whole process. Let me tell you people come to the US to work on Visas happen to be the most privileged of the pool.

Simply put, it is a high stakes game of luck, which you are more or less guaranteed to lose eventually. It just makes it very painful when you lose it sooner than you expect.

Immigration itself is a game of luck. People who end up winning really go through multiple level of family, career, health and visa luck situations. Most people get filtered out one phase or the other.
Sortaaa. There's several financial regulations invoked in the USA that requires financial institutions to ask for proper identification IF continuance of business is pursued. However, there is nothing - to my knowledge - that compels PayPal to hold these identification vectors as "ransom" for an account held hostage from closure.

Enlighten me if my knowledge has gone amiss.

> All great so-called "prescient" people are, in my view, just those attentive to features of their contemporary environment that they regard as long-term.

Well surely not all but most-certainly some. Difference between seeing and knowing; difference between predictions and previsions. Certainly I think being attentive and being able to see patterns is part of both sets of skills, which don't have to be exclusive.

Thanks for fleshing out your (what I assume to be) predictions and insights a bit more. Makes sense. On that, my reaction is: I want that to be a take that can be dismissed as being pessimistic, rather than real. But I think if we look at human history, the pessimistic take is real: it's the hope that we actually better than we seem to be that's unrealistic. It's got me thinking: where should I go to avoid the coming wars?

Another note is, I think the quality of your insights deserves a better presentation: the way you write it up here is a bit rough. I think if you edited it and presented it better it would really do it justice.

As for myself and this topic, I really haven't regarded it much (I think I prefer not to think about such possibilities), and I suppose that's why I'm interested to see takes by people who care to.
