"Ballcock" is the plumbing term for that thing in your toilet tank that regulates the water flow.

That doesn't mean I'd call my new library "Ballcock", though.

That said, I'm going to go against the grain here and say that this really does appear to be quite nice for its niche. While I wouldn't use it on a generic web site, I could see someone using it to make an excellent art gallery or game or something of that nature.

Developer: don't get discouraged by all the hate you're seeing here. You clearly spent a lot of time on this, and if it works for your purposes, and those of others, great!
>as I doubt the core engineers are the ones posting Emojis in the Slack channels.

Why would someone who is capable of being a core engineer at Twitter agree to be overworked after Musk destroys the majority of the company. The most talented people will leave the dumpster fire.

The remaining folks are probably going to be the people with the least confidence that they can get a new job in three months

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how abilities work, but I think I can break Exception.bracket with this right?

I think if I pass something that has e.g. `{Abort, Exception, IO}` to `bracket` and then handle Exception before Abort, my Abort handler can break out of `bracket` before the finalizer action can run.

More generally I must always process any ability with a "bracket"-like function last to prevent this from happening right? And if I have multiple abilities that all have "bracket"-like functions they can step on each other's toes?

Even more generally I think any sort of "scoped" function in an ability has this problem.

This theoretically seems scary (imagine you have some big complicated action that does some bracket deep under the covers to e.g. release file handles; if I handle abilities in the wrong order the file handles might not ever be released, even if I have individually reasonable ability-handler pairs that locally don't do anything silly), but I'm not sure practically how often this comes up, and how much "just always handle Exception last" fixes that (i.e. how unlikely it is for any other ability to have a bracket function).
So still higher than some of the highest benchmarks. 2x instead of 20x. Still tough.
Yes. If Twitter still exists in the future he could tweet "The Model 3 is stupid and ugly and I hate it and we're not supporting it anymore" and there go all the replacement parts. He'd burn $44B just to try to prove a point (what point? I'm not sure) so it's very possible he'd hand Tesla owners out to dry out of spite.
I honestly think depriving your brain of oxygen for that long is not good for you. There’s a reason yoga explicitly restricts this particular breathing exercise for only a few moments and that’s where wim hoff picked it up.

You know, Ukraine conducted policy of self isolation, before war.

Now running to EU and NATO, because isolation costs too much, concessions don't give security.

And for US, entanglement in world policy is matter of existence, because of how Union born.
If federal govt will not protect allies, federation will fall, because states will get out and do all themselves.

Imagine, Scottish, or Irish, or Italian people, ignoring what happen in their motherland - this is impossible. and if feds will entangle in ANY european activity, they will in short time have to deal with all most powerful currents.

South America different, because nearly all countries have mostly native people, or totally cosmopolitan, so for them european currents are just performance, nothing more.

Is losing information on the war really a bad thing?

I mean of course it is for people living in Ukraine who need updated information to survive. (But I would also hope they have govt sponsored alternatives)

But I actually thought it was deeply disturbing how many ppl in unrelated places, like California, would wake up and look forward to getting a fresh voyeur look on the suffering of others. Ppl were spectating and commenting like it was the latest season of game of thrones. Most likely ppl did some unintentional desensitization to themselves unknowingly.

Imo, not having such information is a net positive for society. Yes we should study war to not repeat historical mistakes. That’s completely different that what I saw a lot of Twitter coverage was tho
I’ve taken 2-3 shots of vodka before a job interview. Helps me loosen up and not act like such a weirdo.
I am not a lawyer, but this seems fairly clear cut to me. IMO if you are/were (statistically I think the latter is more likely at this point?), you should talk to an employment attorney - I'm sure that there are sufficient folk, with sufficient income, to make a class action worthwhile for an actually good firm. Anyway, onwards to internet lawyering!

Musk has a track record of violating employment law, and this is another case of exactly that. Previously he violated mass layout notification laws against employees of Tesla, and also forced people to "sign away their rights", without informing them of those rights. That has been ruled unlawful already, and the "signing away their rights" step was found to be void.

Similarly, you cannot drastically change working conditions, and then say you're giving people the option to "resign". If such was possible, it would create a trivially obvious loophole around employment law, and as such there a term for it: "constructive dismissal", and it is not considered any different from firing someone.

If you change the employment terms for all your employees, but say that they can resign instead, that doesn't magically mean you get to skip notification requirements. So just like last weeks mass causeless dismissal, this is also a violation of CA's WARN act, and similar legislation in every other state and country that twitter operates in.

This is before we get to straight up breach of contract: afaict the majority of twitter employees who currently work remotely have contractual agreements guaranteeing remote work. Twitter saying "you must now work from the office", is a breach of that agreement. Note that even if your contract itself does not say that, if you have official communication from the company that is sufficient, and apparently pre acquisition the company told all employees that they were guaranteed remote work for at least 12 months post-acquisition.

WeChat does push to talk voice chat, image sharing like snapchat, broadcast messaging, video conferencing, video sharing, and digital payments. What is Twitter doing behind the scenes that justifies multiple times the amount of employees at WeChat?

Code reviews are usually synchronous at Google though, commenting and fixing things is like chatting with the reviewer so are usually done quickly. Not sure why this wouldn't be industry standard, is there any reason to make code reviews more painful than that?

Feels like a pretty idyllic view of compilers? I guess I agree that there's more than a factor of 2 in instruction latency versus throughput, but I don't think a compiler can use the entire gap. For a quick check, I measured 1.82 instructions per cycle to compile ~0.3MB of source in BQN (the compiler's a very array-oriented program for those unaware) and 1.38 ipc on ~1.7MB where caching's worse. The maximum is probably somewhat less than 4 since not all instructions fit 4 to a cycle; on the other hand, BQN primitives are probably already doing some things that are throughput-inefficient to use available parallelism better. Fused compiler output definitely wouldn't include as many loop counter and load/store instructions.

Some of the problems you mention, especially special combinations, can be addressed by a bytecode compiler that ultimately defers to an interpreted VM.

The binary search interleaving seems like exactly the kind of thing that APL interpreters can do to close the gap with compilers. "generate the next cell while I wait" sounds difficult in general: instruction reordering only goes so far, so if the binary search loop needs many iterations, then only part of it can overlap with other code (barring some compiler intervention that I'd categorize as fanciful if the loop length isn't known). That other work could also be polluting the cache.

Your binary search work is definitely interesting; I found the code and will be studying it as this is something I've been wanting to address better in BQN. Mind if I email about this? I implemented a different solution to high latencies for large searches in Dyalog, which is to partition the array y (searched-for values) by a single pivot from x and recurse. See the last paragraph at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/implementation/primitive/sor....

The examples in the docs show HTML in string format. Does it parse the string to determine the context?

If so, that is impressive, and something I'd love to use!

Edit: I'm asking because I attempted to use template literals for HTML templates and escaping values is the trickiest part. I settled for requiring the caller to tell me what kind of escaping to use (with the default being very conservative).

I think you're right. There's a discount for 'Shows On Sale' members, which you can also apply for (Only $150/month!). The membership application asks how long you've been in the "ticket business" and where you sell your ticket inventory.

If you look into advertising on their site, they describe themselves: "Shows On Sale is a community for experienced ticket brokers across the United States and Canada"
I love how the goalposts keep shifting all the time - "Tesla can never manufacture a mass production car", "Elon cannot run a hardware company", "Electric cars can only sell when subsidized". The truth is Tesla and Elon pushed an entire market forward. Tesla paid back their loans while other car manufacturers didn't.

SpaceX was not the first in the launch business - they were in fact the only one who attempted to break into a monopolized market that no one dared to touch. It's remarkable that they not only fight their way in, but also did it so well that they became the largest launch provider in the country, and in some cases the only one in the United States - SpaceX saved the tax payers a ton of money by reducing launch costs.

You don't have to either hate or love a guy - Elon fucked up multiple times, often talks shit, but give the man credit where credit is due.

It takes talent to fail in many of those ways, notably, it's mostly papered over by the success of Tesla and Space X, which will probably be just fine on thew whole.

His antics were 'sufferable' in the context of Tesla/Space X, but for a variety of reasons, not at all with Twitter whereupon he's essentially going to be perceived a toxic entity - rightly or wrongly.

He needs to find an excuse to get out of there, find someone he can get along with to take over. Put some nice terms in there, probably including that he has to 'not talk about Twitter publicly' and get back to his more tolerable shenanigans.

If Twitter was his only gig, I can see him digging himself out of this hole over the long run, but with other things to do I think it's going melt him.

He's doing 'Operation Market Garden' for no reason; time for an 'orderly withdrawal'.
No, there are many people who will say you're not drinking properly if you haven't passed out, lost memory, spewed, done something stupid, etc.

"In the chaos of layoffs, firings, and resignations our security team was entirely gutted and as a result my login must have hacked by one of the literal billions of people on the planet with an interest in taking down this company, even if only for the lolz.

That may be true. But the guy also landed rockets from orbit (on ships!). And then flew them again. The implications of having easy access to space to our civilization really cannot be overstated. SpaceX is the real deal, and will probably be worth more than Tesla eventually.

Musk clearly isn’t successful in everything he does, but he’s not a failure either.

No idea, sorry. I haven’t had cause to want this sort of thing in the last couple of years (or I’d have done it myself if no one else has). It’s not unlikely, in fact, that no one has actually written a suitable polyfill yet, of similar nature to :focus-visible polyfills. But if one wants to implement such a thing, :focus-visible polyfills are a decent starting place to look at and think about.
I was half expecting Musk to "fail to find financing" in a way that had plausible deniability, just so he could use the $1 exit clause.

> Recursion requires [dynamic memory allocation] in some form to avoid overwriting a procedure's variables upon the recursive call.

Technically untrue, actually; you can require any potentially-recursive procedure to take a (pointer to a) array of stack frames to use when making a recursive call. However I don't know of any programming languages that actually do that, rather than supporting stack frames implicitly or (historically) prohibiting recursion altogether.

> He failed at Full Self Driving

His time plan might have failed, but that doesn’t mean that full self driving has failed. That’s like if I said: “I’m going to make 10 million dollars by the end of next week”, and then people would call me a failure for only making 5 million in a week.

Or do you mean that full self driving actually has failed, not taking into account any time plans? I think the full self driving capabilities of Teslas are downright incredible. Not fully ready for robotaxi territory, but extremely impressing.
ASML depends on lenses from a relatively small company. That company does not have interest in ramping production any more than they already have. They don't care how much money they're offered.

That's a bit ridiculous. Buying Twitter for $44bn was entirely his fault (and I think, a very stupid decision) and he does seem to be running the company into the ground, but were the fundamentals of the business solid before he got there? Did it ever justify its share price? Is ad revenue a sustainable business model? Was it going to remain profitable for long enough for someone who bought in e.g. 2020 to make a good return?

If you go to market and buy a lame horse then flog it into the ground, that's entirely your fault, but it's not like the horse was ever going to race well.
WhatsApp is your strongest argument.

WeChat has always been part of Tencent. It was piggybacking on the infra of what was already one of the biggest tech companies in the world. That's like comparing the number of Gmail employees to Twitter, sure it serves lots of users, but it doesn't have to worry about so much of what a standalone company has to deal with
