Characterizing Twitter moderation as "blatant censorship" does not, to my mind, indicate that you are a serious conversant here.

> How was Twitter any better before him?!

Before Musk took over it wasn't saddled with the $13B in debt he took on to buy it. Before Musk took over advertisers weren't fleeing the platform in droves. Before Musk took over no one could impersonate Eli Lilly with a blue checkmark and cause its stock to crash. There's no indication now that Twitter will do anything to stop hate campaigns and abuse when they arise (hate speech is free speech, after all, and isn't illegal in the US). I could imagine some kind of future for Twitter before Musk, but that's immensely more difficult now.

I don't think Mastodon is the solution, mind you. But it's no surprise to me that a lot of folks are looking for an alternative.
You get a lot of internet points and clicks for jumping on the hate bandwagon and cynically tearing people down.

Maybe if they weren't so focused on a manufactured villain, and people and the media had put even a tiny fraction of this scrutiny on SBF, an actual fraud might have been mitigated. But no, let's go after the guy putting rockets in space and producing millions of electric cars in the real world. He's the real bad guy!
This isn't meant for heli-skiers who go out with a few thousand bucks of equipment. None of the average hikers I know own a satellite phone, plenty of them like to hike alone, and an hour of walking into the woods (hardly a strenuous hike) will frequently land you somewhere with patchy service (and this is in a country with perfectly well-functioning infrastructure, not the middle of the Rocky Mountains.)

I'm sure this is going to lead to a few spectacular, high-profile rescues, but I'd bet the average use case is going to be "saved me three hours of crawling through the woods on a broken ankle to get back to the last place I had cell service."
Columns are LWW (last writer wins) registers within rows which are LWW maps. When concurrent writes occur because peers may not be communicating, there is typically an arbitrary but convergent selection based on peer id.

brb, need to edit my pitch deck..
> There is no easy solution to this because you will never be able to overcome the lack of critical thought at regulatory agencies.

There is no desire for a solution to this, therefore anyone showing critical thought at regulatory agencies is fired. Protect Lina Khan.
s/small fraction/many many more times than it spends on wikipedia, while claiming wikipedia is the thing being funded/.

I even agree with many of these causes (possibly all, but I've not researched them all), but Wikimedia is advertising a specifically scoped project and then actually running a meta-charity
(I thought these [addresses] could be watched.)

> there was a lot of "money" that went out the door in legitimate trading losses.

Let's not give them easy pass on this. I could be wrong so correct me on this:

Easy setup is to have a bunch of people setup 'shitcoins' and shell companies, scam people to put actual money into the scheme to pump the price, and then pay inflated prices for your fellow scam artists' shitcoins, so they clean out, but the chumps who bought your coin are holding the bag.
I would love to see something similar to Basic English: A General Introduction with Rules and Grammer for other languages. It seems like it would be a great tool for learning a new language.
Agreed. I cut my Wikipedia donations out when I learned how they were spending my money.
I think you misunderstand what Wikimedia is and does. It's not just Wikipedia and hosting. It is also a lot of research into their Wikidata free knowledge database (look it up) for instance.

It requires a lot of people and core knowledge to develop and run. To some extent Wikimedia is a research company too.
This is an organisation that seems to endlessly increase its costs when what I think many of us want is the ensured stability of Wikipedia. This does not cost $150m a year.
I was just looking at the Garmin inReach on REI’s sale a few minutes ago. $350 for the device ($50 off right now), $30 activation fee, and $12/month for two years is $668. Upgrading my 3 year old phone is $800. Kind of a no-brainer to use the phone I’d be carrying anyway.

I’m not looking to use it for weeks-long trips. Mostly trail running and maybe a few days in the back country.
The Veyron (first petrol production car to crack 400km/h) was famously quoted by Top Gear that its tires would only last 12 minutes at top speed, which was OK, because the 100L fuel tank would be empty in just 9 minutes.

That the Nevera can do 5 minutes with 'only' 120kWh is actually amazing. Petrol has an energy density of 12200Wh/kg. At 0.79kg/l, the Veron had a total capacity of 963kWh. That's 8 Times more energy, yet still less than 2 times the range.

Very interesting idea.

Would you be willing to share more info on the tech used in the process?

>I bought a couple of Chinese microphones

Which exact microphones?
How long does their battery last?

As well as other parts of the process.
There was an Adam Ruins Everything episode about car dealerships in the US, from what I remember US lawmakers have made it so it's not a free market compared to the EU. I think it's similar to how US ISPs maintain monopolies in certain areas.
Porsche, once described as the "Hedge fund which happened to also make cars", took control of both Rimac and Bugatti during that deal:

> Rimac will hold a 55 per cent share in the Bugatti Rimac joint venture, while Porsche will have a 45 per cent share. Porsche also holds a 24 per cent share in Rimac directly.

Which means Porsche owns more than 50% of the Rimac-Bugatti joint venture, they did it on purpose.

Porsche also recently spun off of VW (Porsche famously failed it's short squeeze on VW: they'd have acquired VW had the 2008 financial crisis not hit) and back then VW had to come to Porsche's rescue.
The original Siri had such a list. I found it demonstrated here: https://youtu.be/agzItTz35QQ?t=716

Did that ever make it to release? I can't remember seeing it on my actual phone.
The referenced essay, "Wikipedia has cancer", is far more detailed and less emotionally charged (title notwithstanding) than the Twitter thread:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_C...

I suggest interpreting the Twitter thread as trying to convince you to read the full article.
Oh these are good ones.

>When you do work, demo it to your team and ask for feedback.

I always ask for feedback for my PRs, however they're small enough they can be covered with a few screenshots or simply looking at the code. So do you think it's still worthy to schedule demos for them?

>Cameras on when other people have them on - I'm not the biggest fans of cameras but it would be good for a junior for people to put a face to a name.

Me neither but I always try to have my camera on.
Neutral would be "let's burn some books." I'm not arguing that burning books is good, but it is certainly a stance biased to one side.
> punctuality

To be fair there’s something to this. My dad told me a story of meeting a Danish person in Bangladesh (where we’re from) who observed that, given my dad’s fastidiousness about punctuality and standing in line “he probably didn’t fit in [there].” I tell my kids we got kicked out of our home country because “your grandpa couldn’t stand people showing up late to everything.”

My understanding is that GP wasn't talking about a friend of a friend situation, but approaching strangers on the team purely to bypass HR.
I think "boilerplate code" came from the legal term, but the article dives deeper to figure out where the legal system got it in the first place.
Their 2021 personnel costs were nearly $70 million, plus another $12 million for consulting. Their awards and grants budget was about $10 million.
> There’s undoubtedly legacy stuff and tech debt there

That's for sure, but I don't remember many instances of tech debt or bad architectural decisions which had been solved by just shutting things down.
Sort of a side question: If someone running a company claimed to do all the things in these comments "looking towards the future", "strategy", "investor relations", "business optimization" how would you disprove that?
I don't think most of the donors know the money is used for things other than Wikipedia and that Wikimedia is very well off. This is an even bigger ethical lapse than funnelling money into charities people might not agree with.
Pretty well known in the states, luckily he seems to be talking to himself :)
Yeah, if the option is between MacBook + macOS VS any other solid laptop with Linux, I'm gonna have to do with the second option. Any time I tried to use macOS (which, for many years before I did use daily), I end up getting frustrated...

Many thanks for sharing your experience!
If the money is being sent elsewhere, it means they are receiving more than they can manage. That changes the fundraising message. If a friend said please help me with my medical bills, then you later find out a portion of the money was spent on something unrelated, you are either going to give them less money the next time around or nothing.
Wow, surprisingly good read, thank you! I never bothered to check the code of the .NET apps on TechEmpower, goes to show I should have.
Being a mechanical engineer by training, I always assumed it had come from the requirement that all boilers must have a nameplate affixed with a bunch of not really useful information about how it was tested. The hot water heater in your house has a boiler nameplate, and nuclear power plants have a "nameplate" rated capacity:

Parser Combinators in Elixir: A Deeper Dive
This is interesting - I have been passively monitoring LinkedIn and a few others for senior engineering management roles for the last year or so (VPE, DoE). I am not really looking, I have only pursued a couple of them, but my feed/inbox is noteworthy. Many of the "openings" have been out there for multiple months, some a year+. A good handful are tweaked slightly every few weeks to appear new.

I can understand fishing for individually contributing junior-to-senior developers, but for senior management roles? Would a company really troll waters to find a senior leader that they don't really need? "Hey, look what I found, let's find a spot for him/her!"

My theory has been either (1) those companies are super picky, which is understandable given the impact of those roles, or (2) they don't really know what they want, and they are using the interviewing process to figure it out. But regardless of 1v2, those companies likely have people fulfilling those management responsibilities today that they have otherwise deemed unqualified, or are very-senior C-level folks that are too busy to do it well.
Do you have a link or reference for details on Paul Glover's "poison pills"? I couldn't find much with a quick Google search so I don't think I have the right keywords.
It's also possible that the one hastily thrown together excel spreadsheet the CEO himself chose to release doesn't include the full accounting. Maybe Sam decided to leave off an illegal off-book loan?

The comparison feels just a bit off - like, Malmsteen's popularity rounds to zero, even in the world of 80's shredders aficionados. Gladwell has multiple best-sellers that are popular to general audiences. I think maybe a better comp would be someone like Reb Beach? Player with known technical chops but in a somewhat generally popular band that was not appreciated by guitar-store superheroes . . .

Course, maybe not using an obscure hair-band reference would be better.
I can only assume that you have never been to the western U. S. or anywhere at all in Canada much north of the 49th parallel. It can be quite barren, and even if one had a need to stick a cell tower in the North Cascades mountains, it won't cover everything. Hell, I go trail running on local mountains (Cougar/Squak/Tiger, for Seattle locals) that are within visual distance of a decent-sized city, and there are still spots where I don't get cell coverage (and all of those mountains have cell towers on top). Snap a bone or otherwise become immobile in the wrong spot, and you won't be calling anyone despite the fact that it's a ten minute drive to town. And those trails are full of day hikers on the weekends, many of which I'd guess aren't prepared to spend the night if they had to.

If you go hiking or heli-skiing...

I'd bet a paycheck that Apple's use cases did not include those that jump out of a helicopter to go skiing. Those folks, if they have any sense, have a dedicated device, as you state. I'm picturing this being for those like above, who just wanted a casual Saturday hike and something went wrong.
It should also talk to spammers and provide them fake credit card numbers.
ARM64 or ARM26/32? Because they're quite different beasts. The original ARM ISA was designed with the idea that people would and could write software directly in it. ARM64 was not.
I believe the video decoder (h264 etc) is actually separate from the GPU.

I have no idea. Potentially decades. It could also be a flop, but I made another comment with the example of how DAOs by themselves could change open source development entirely. That's probably the best articulation of what I think so far.
Yeah obviously it doesn't "really" compare, but once on the autobahn at around 4am I drove for about 30 minutes straight at 255km/h in my Mercedes AMG couple years ago, it was insane, but also one of the coolest things I have ever done. It was like 30 minutes of pure adrenaline, had to stop afterwards just to cool off.

You'd be surprised. There are plenty of places where LTE isn't robust enough.
> we can see FTX's balance sheet [1]. There is no loan

The problem with this is that the customer funds are also not present on their balance sheet. Levine opined about this yesterday; Like 3 of the biggest assets are coins ftx didn't pay for - so where did the money go?

That's why the Alameda explanation is likely, in one way or another. Money had to go somewhere.
Nah an optimization is dangerous as others have said. A lint that detects oversized copies could be worthwhile though.

React Native made me give up a project today
I revisited an old React Native project with a view to make a new, updated refresh.

React Native is great; React Native firebase is great; Firebase is great; Apple is great.

Getting an app published that depends on all these to work together is an absolute nightmare.

Just installing it is now a walk through a minefield of errors - is your mac an M1? There are dozens of different recipes to follow for a maddening mix of how to install different versions of ruby, of cocoapods, with homebrew or not, with the arm terminal or rosetta emulator.

Maybe I was naive to expect that after a couple of years things would have just gotten easier or faster.

After a day spent 99% on just setup and getting a generic app to not break, before even touching a line of code to make a feature, I have quit.

I wonder if others feel this way? I'm sad because I like app development, and the idea of building for multiple platforms. And I previously invested a lot in learning and supporting RN but the balkanization of this platform has reached the tipping point for me.

This article points to the fact that Bamboo is being used in place of steel pipe scaffolding.

Why Bamboo did not take over the world as a substitute for wood timber?

It is because bamboo post processing is expensive. As long as one is using uncut bamboo it is excellent material with high tensile and structural strength. However, to make 'timber' out of bamboo, one needs to separate bamboo fiber, soak them in water and then press join using glue to get a wood timber equivalent.

There are many states where Bottle Rockets are still legal; they are generally states that are not considered a Nanny state or do not have high risk of fires. Some states like Texas banned them because too many houses had wooden shingled roofs decades ago that tended to catch fire because of a bottle rocket landing on them. And laws are much harder to get rid of once they have been enacted so despite very few homes actually still having a wooden shingled roof the ban on bottle rockets still stands.

https://www.rd.com/article/states-where-fireworks-are-legal/

A lot of places(From the state level down to individual city level) use the annual Consumer Product Safety Commission report on Firework injuries to determine what needs to be banned for so called "public safety" reasons. Which is why you have places that have even banned Sparklers.

This article from LeMonde seems to imply that they're using Globalstar:

> "To offer this new feature, Apple had to integrate a miniature antenna in its smartphone. It captures part of the signal of satellite constellations without relying on a satellite dish or a specific telephone handset. The iPhone manufacturer signed an agreement with Globalstar, one of the operators of low-altitude constellations, sets of satellites flying at about 500 kilometers from the Earth, in order to cover low-coverage areas of the globe. Specializing since 2007 in professional satellite messaging, Globalstar explained that it reached an agreement to launch 17 new satellites for 327 million dollars, 95% of which will be financed by Apple in exchange for 85% of their bandwidth."

I was hoping someone could help me understand. The objective of the Wikimedia Endowment[0] is to invest until the profits fully fund Wikipedia, expenses, as is the case with most endowments. According to Wikipedia’s financial statements[1], their spending balloons by tens of millions of dollars each year.

2015-2016: $66M

2019-2020: $112M

2021-2022: $146M

Assuming a modest return of 5%, isn’t it the case they would need billions in their endowment to fully fund Wikipedia?

Unfortunately there's also drift in behavior that comes from retraining. "OK Google, play NPR news headlines" get different results some days than others.
