The pitch deck you give to Sequioa partners is not a description of your current business. It's a proof of concept that shows how much the market you're entering is worth and a long term vision of how you can carve a significant piece out of it.

So you don't go in saying "hey look we can make a trillion dollars doing arbitrage between American, Japanese and Korean exchanges." You go in showing that your work doing the former proved the existence of a massive market for crypto securities and derivatives, and how you're uniquely positioned to capitalize on that market.

And if they believe in the existence of that market and the founders are able to execute they'll invest.

That's what they mean about investing in founders and teams.
Not a doctor. I'm not really aware of ACE inhibitors as anxiolytics, but beta blockers are pretty classicly used off label for performance anxiety because they blunt the effects of adrenaline (your symptoms are pretty on the nose). Benzodiazepines (like Xanax) are actual tranquillizers, and doctors aren't always thrilled to prescribe them because they can be a bit addictive, but job interview anxiety is a pretty good indication for most docs I think. I'd say most options are better than alcohol, but you're far from the first person to choose that option.

The front page doesn’t need 5 posts from random people talking about how they’re moving to mastodon and boy isn’t toot such a weird name for tweets.

Likewise it doesn’t need continued speculation about what Elon really meant when he posted ‘blah blah blah’.

Substantive things will get through (this one did).

Yay Elon/Boo Elon drama won’t.

If you really need it, feel free to browse new yourself and vouch.
Layoffs are fine, but not mass resignations?
I think it’s a bit of a point of no return for both sides. Musk wanted all chips on the table, got them, and it turns out his hand isn’t as strong as he thought. There is no going back to status quo after this email stunt, it literally made clear that the majority of employees are just sticking around until they find something else, and would even leave sooner if at all pushed to. This is a sinking ship.
Is chemotherapy Stockholm syndrome?

Thanks. I don’t have much AWS experience but that is good to know. To me it is another big cloud option. Big cloud options usually have extra steps. For example in Azure you need to configure your DB firewall to let the app have access, and so on. The more heroku level stuff would probably do this for you.
From my own experience, I have done it with and without the purge. It did feel like it accelerated the process, but not so much that it made a difference overall.

I have heard people claim that if you don't purge it doesn't count. It's the first thing they ask about another person's experience. That always felt a bit like Stockholm syndrome to me.
I had a job once, when TLS was new and half the internet was not using some form of SSL. We had to manually do keyswaps on a stack of machines to create a trust network for all the certs. IT really sucked. I made a note of the certificate expiry data and a calendar reminder 3 years into the future to start looking for a new job if I hadn't already.
Twitter wouldn’t shut down completely. The company would continue running…right?

Agree. And substantive things (like this piece of news) make it through.
Droit does similar things.
I was taking 5k once a day but not even every day and tested almost above the high limit.

10k a day is a lot, one would be strongly advised to regularly check blood levels if you want to keep that up.

One of the best things the Greeks decided to do with their artwork was label all the characters.

If we're going to be sinking sculptures into the sea, presumably intended to stay for a long time, I think we should carve statements on them saying why we put them there.

Same. I would have had a hard time imagining a way he could behave that would affect my feelings about a Tesla, but he found it. Seeing a CEO act so childish and cruel and emotionally unstable and antagonistic and conspiratorial in a purposefully public way makes me not only feel uncomfortable in the idea of buying his products, it even makes me feel worried about how that insanity might materially affect the product.
But obscurity _is_ a form of security, even though mostly not sufficient on its own.

For a certain kind of engineer, this version of Twitter is far more attractive than the previous one.
If it’s a conceptually complex system then the devs weren’t really that good in the first place. Yeah, technical debt happens, but you can’t have both that the system had good technical leadership and it can’t possibly stay up under replacement employees. (My impression is that it will stay up.)
So who's building Twitter 2.0 right now, featuring decentralization?
OH WOW, LOOK! https://twitter.com/account/personalization/download_your_da...
Nothing says delicious like having to put that in the name, right?

Actually powerful people don’t go around saying how powerful and important they are. They don’t need to.
> You also carefully ignored the upstream turbines which aren't two way.

What about them? Those aren't pumped hydro storage plants, they're just normal dams. There's no pump: you can't supply them with electricity to pump water back into the reservoir.

Cyclable capacity is the only type of capacity anyone cares about. Again imagine I sell someone a battery claiming it has 10 GWh of capacity. they drain 10 KWh, and then they try to charge it back up but it stops at only 3 KWh. They call tech support and I say "well, sir, the battery only has 3 KWh of cyclable capacity." I guarantee you >99% of people would think they were cheated. Saying that the battery has a capacity of 10 KWh is highly misleading; it's only true in a pedantic sense.

The whole point of Australia's storage plans is to even out solar energy's daily output. The plan is to pump the water into the upper reservoir during the day, and release it at night. The requires cyclical storage. The trickle of water that precipitation puts into the upper reservoir is negligible.
I'm guessing that the page designer just went to a stock photo site, did a search for "code" or something similar, found that image, licensed it, and inserted it. Job done!

I asked TinEye [1] where I can get that stock photo. It turns out you can get it at most of the big stock photo sites. For example, here it is on Shutterstock: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/software-source-cod...

I've noticed in recent years that if the press likes you they will rarely if ever ask critical questions. If the press doesn't like you they will try to crucify you, even if you've done nothing wrong.

As someone who obtained a Journalism degree in the seventies that wasn't how we were taught. We were told to question everyone equally and to always be skeptical of what we were told but couldn't verify. That's one of the reason that I am fond of Charlie LeDuff, the Pulitzer prize winning journalist, who is a skeptics skeptic.
I imagine theres lots of groundbreaking stuff to work on at Twitter. Lots of opportunities to apply AI, do cool distributed systems research, build specialized hardware to optimize video, build new types of databases, apply computational social science (all things facebook does fyi). Its far far more than "just web dev". Now you can just stop working on your products and just hope the website stays alive but not sure its a good plan in the long run
Their 3rd highest rated apple is incredibly sour.
I really want to like Tailscale but I couldn't easily find a way for it to work on a jumpbox running Ubuntu 14.04 that I don't have root access to.

Anyone have a way to install the client on a non-rooted box? I couldn't find anything in the docs about the assumption that it requires root or not, other than it being implied by their install steps using system package managers.
I immediately assumed this article was about the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) and was pleasantly surprised.

Is there any tooling you use to squash the commits and use the PR message?
He’s not stupid, he just isn’t as smart as he and all his sycophants think, and certainly not smart enough to overcome his myriad of personality and mental health disorders. Unfortunately for us, after ruining a perfectly fine company and damaging the lives of thousands of employees, he’ll loudly retreat to his lair to sit on his remaining mountain of gold, recharge his narcissistic tank, and then emerge to set something else ablaze. After all, this is what dragons do. And that’s how all of us should think of his ilk, as dragons. They don’t care a lick about who or what or they ruin in pursuit of an ever larger pile of gold.
In some contexts, which includes JavaScript and thus user styles, you can use XPath, which interacts with all nodes, not just element nodes like CSS. Your sample selector would be this, if I have understood your intention correctly¹ (that you’re targeting the <a> element, and don’t care if the text “click here ” is an immediate child, or spread across multiple children):

//article//a[contains(., "click here ")]

The equivalent to document.querySelector in JavaScript:

document.evaluate(
'//article//a[contains(., "click here ")]',
document,
null,
XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE,
null,
).singleNodeValue

And the document.querySelectorAll (which returns a static node list) equivalent would use ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, with .snapshotLength and .snapshotItem(index) on the result object. Yes, this API is written in a very old style, and could do with being wrapped in a more pleasant API.

See https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116/ for the syntax, and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/ev... for document.evaluate(). You will sadly not find a great deal of other useful documentation.

As for shadow DOM: yeah, you can’t target closed shadow DOMs at all in any way, by design. Fortunately most are open so that it is at least possible to get into them, even if it’s a pain since the normal tools can’t pierce the boundary.

—⁂—

¹ If you wanted to only match “click here ” in an immediate child text node of the <a> element, these four work and are equivalent:

//article//a[./text()[contains(., "click here ")]]
//article//a[text()[contains(., "click here ")]]
//article//a[contains(./text(), "click here ")]
//article//a[contains(text(), "click here ")]

These will be more efficient than the first-used selector. Where CSS is mostly unaffected by selector complexity because it largely evaluates from right to left, XPath is more likely to be doing full traversals, which will benefit from more specific selectors, hence things like prefixing paths with /html/body, or only evaluating in document.body, in order to skip traversing the head altogether, if that will never match; and you can easily imagine that contains(//a/text(), "…"), which selects text nodes that are children of <a> elements and thus has selected nodes that have a trivial string-value, will be faster than contains(//a, "…"), which will need to stringify every <a> element, entailing further traversal and string construction. Mind you, the differences in all this will mostly be very small in practical terms.
$10, hell. You'd need to put down $500 just to come out $10 ahead.
Testing the actual intervention seems arguably more useful than testing blood concentrations.
He understands big tech... he knows that they are WAY over-staffed.

I also think that Google understand big tech in a different way though... They try to hire as many engineers as possible even if they don't need them just so their competitors can't get them...

Elon's way is probably more sustainable...
In my case at least: because it was hard to find non-gamer laptops with fast CPUs. Turned out to be a moot point anyway because the thing throttles itself to uselessness after seconds under load despite three noisy fans.
I'm not quite sure how I'm defending him. I don't really like him, especially after he voiced his opinions on Ukraine and Taiwan, I hope he loses all his money. And I'll never touch a Tesla.

All Elon has done by buying Twitter is reveal how much of a trash company it was internally. From management/board perspective, clearly they was never listening to the engineers and just doing the bare minimum to get inflated salaries and bonuses.
Faster than the nordstream sabotage investigation, congrats FBI, we see where are the priorities

The "folk wisdom" that colds cause the Common Cold has the correlation correct, but not the causation.

During winter people get less Vitamin D and stay indoors in close proximity.

The low temperatures do not make you sick. The secondary effects of the season-that-is-cold does.
I am chalking this up to Russia syndrome. Personality types driven to do great things aren't easily satisfied. Most are perpetually dissatisfied & they need to raise the stakes.

They win the war of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th coalitions. For the first time, they find that things are going fine. All they have to do is nothing. Pull back and consolidate. Maybe refine some things, tinker a bit. But it's not enough. It will never be enough. So they invade Russia.

In his life, Napoleon had success after success after success. Every step of the way, critics told him that he'd fail. But he did it anyway, and won 38 battles. 17 at near impossible odds.

How can someone like him be satisfied with sitting at home, ruling France? How could he be satisfied with puttering around in the countryside talking about his code with random farmers?

And so he decided to invade.

People warned him against invading. Armand de Caulaincourt staked his reputation on it, went with him on the campaign, and kept warning him. Warning him against wintering in Russia. He kept telling him to turn back. But Napoleon didn't listen.

They'd been wrong every single time. And he'd been right. Let them babble, his path was one set at a different level than theirs.

Except, that one time they were right.

It seems that when you are touched with greatness, you end up believing that you can do anything. And far more often than not, you can.

Right up until the moment you can't.
Anything related to XML is arguably even worse.
I think that you and I have pretty different priors for p(x is a Kolmogorov-random string | x is being backed up)
I maintain stable levels long term with 5K every other day, which roughly matches most dosage recommendations for people without acute deficiency. But as a sibling comment says, you should check your levels and adjust accordingly. 10K per day is already a lot if you don’t have an acute high deficiency.
I am shocked and surprised.

That such an audit was conducted in the first place, let alone that it actually was allowed to publish negative findings.
But only the state of being intoxicated. No one asks if you binged so much you threw up because otherwise "it didn't count".
Yes. Thank you. That is the 1/3 (but actually less since his mother’s the PAC money for Dems and Biden directly is not counted) that I mentioned.

This is also the company that had a round 7 million on their excel sheet for a fund called TRUMPLOSE.

All I’m asking is for your honesty that some people who are looking the other way on this would be appalled. If you aren’t saying that some people would be associating Trump himself to these fraud-derived donations, you just aren’t being honest.

Places were there is big industry for a long time is good. Silicon Valley was excellent but not as much now as most hardware mfg. is outside now.

Also suburbs of industry towns have a good chance.

College towns or other concentrations of learning in an area (schools/colleges store their equipment for a long time before remaindering them off).

Just think of where the tech was back in the period you are interested in, and check out local offers in that area...
I used to make fun of Medium by calling it Tedium, then this site came out which is one of the wonders of the web and makes me think, ‘why the hell does anybody care what happens to Twitter?’ I mean, this guy listened to more than 1000 songs and explains music theory and how you edit music on a computer today, while Medium bloggers tell me how impressed they were to get 70 views on an article and people on Twitter think it is their constitutional right to say “A TRANS WOMAN IS A WOMAN. PERIOD.” or a “A TRANS WOMAN WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN. PERIOD.”

What’s priceless is having the opportunity to think something through and explain it and Tedium rises above the shitposting world. Bravo!
The management is worried about internal sabotage?

My Twitter friends said Twitter has been having large exodus. CSL(core systems lib?) team, blobstore team, graph platform team, and revenue forecasting team seemed have all quit. I'm not sure how robust and autonomous Twitter's infra is. Hopefully Twitter will continue to function.
I have a hunch that over Thanksgiving the increased traffic will break something, and there will be nobody around to fix it, so more stuff will break. I have a hunch that most of SRE people that would normally be watching the metrics ready to jump on anything starting to look dicey are gone.
I’ve long held a notion that organic produce is better mostly because it’s fresher - it has to be since it doesn’t have an unnaturally long shelf life.

Makes sense. I'm not sure there's a job I wouldn't leave for 3 months free money. Especially if I was confident of my talent and abilities as an ex-Twitter engineer.
That is awesome! Can “cross border” do things like process GDPR compliance regulations or is that not the intended use case?
Not long, but perhaps not for the reasons you think. With the code base frozen, no new incompatibilities can be introduced. That's how software (including operating system) releases worked for many years, and they did work. VM/container images are still basically this way, and they tend to keep running quite well too. One problem with both of these models is that existing security vulnerabilities don't get fixed, but that's not code rot. It's a serious but separate issue.

No, the way I think a frozen codebase will rear its head is when things that haven't been restarted in too long start to misbehave. When new updates are being pushed out frequently by a busy team, every machine (container, process, whatever) is being restarted regularly. People don't even realize what they're avoiding each time. Resource leaks, deadlocks, and timer issues can remain undetected a long time in that environment, then surface when the longevity increases. Even worse, some things tend to fail after a predictable amount of time, i.e. across most or all machines at once in a cluster.

I first saw this in 1990 at Encore, when our shiny new SMP version of UNIX became capable of staying up for a whole month at a time. Because of problems like those mentioned above, getting from one month to two took almost as long as getting from zero to one. I've seen the same scenario play out on many other systems since, and there's no reason to believe the systems within Twitter are immune.

Stasis is not the same as stability.
How are they going to release updates when they just nuked the entire design and engineering staff?
2FA SMS just worked for me. I have little faith that I'll ever actually receive the zip archive, though.
not everyone in tech is making 6 digits working at FAANG. stop blaming the workers. the problem is the gov, the economists, and the crazy policies during covid. there are plenty of other jobs high paid such as consulting, legal jobs that are not creating any clear value as well. at leas tech changed the way people buy things, communicate, move around, travel and created wealth into the midle class like no other profession. to earn well in law you need a network and a family that knows how to guide you through the best schools and best companies. same for consulting/banking a commononer won't get into rotschild or mckinsey. tech allowed all kind of people to build wealth.
