Twitter competitors are not other social media platforms, they are reality shows, for Twitter is 90% nade up of people dunking on each other, backstabbing and getting revenge. It attracts narcissist at every level ranging from people having millions of followers down to those who hangon to their 10k. Nobody uses Twitter to catch up with their friends or communicate.

It's the reason why the platform has failed to make money in the first place. If you add the character limit to what I said above, you get the worst possible format and environment for pushing commerce, which is the way these big platforms finance themselves.

People are constantly in fight or flight when they use Twitter, it's the opposite for Facebook, Instagram and now TikTok. Those are environments crafted to lubricate and push commerce/branding and it shows.
The biggest problem with zsh's vim mode is it's actually vi mode. I constantly want "])" and "aw" motions but they're not implemented :(

But, like, this is obviously an entirely different class of problem from TFA, which is a skill issue.
You make it sound that at one point in time there was a true basque language. But isn't language an evolving matter? It is slightly different from one village to the next, changes continuously over time, words get a different feeling, mixes as family members marry someone from a different village, etc.
> I'm guessing that the rough flow of the delete word signal is iTerm -> Fish -> iPython and that iPython is the thing that's being overzealous?

Almost correct. Once you launch iPython, Fish is out of the picture until you quit iPython. However yes iPython does handle Ctrl-W differently from your shell
Will they really? As far as I know, they stopped doing that years ago, but I might be wrong.
Sure.

I simply use this "world" example because everyone here is in the same cult as me: "The world is round cult." When I use it, they get it. If I were speaking to a different cult, I would use a different example.

You will note, both flat earthers and non-flat earthers have very detailed and complex reasoning for why they "believe" what they believe. But of course most members of either group have Not actually went to space to verify the conclusions for themselves.
Anything done on a corporate machine needs to be assumed monitored. The paranoid approach would be to fully power off the machine, take the hard drive out, then use an independent machine to mount and read the data off that. Now, if they suspect that approach, or they suspect you personally, there will likely be evidence of your hardware tampering. But it would thwart automated mass-surveillance solutions.
I feel your pain.

After typing bilions of lines to have some inventory control (and other things, enough to run a little drugstore) I asked for help to type the remaining code. A relative came, typed "new" and pressed return.
Painful as it is to admit, even Firefox is not worth testing. In our B2B site, more people are using IE11 than FF.

My guess is they meant growing in terms of revenue, not headcount.
TO better understand the architecture, how will this work if I want to use the shell in vi mode? IIUC that would not be possible with their setup, right? Warp would need to implement a vi mode, correct?

Is it possible to work with vim in warp?
To be clear I think intent matters more than anything else, and I’m not an advocate for “banning” terms or shunning people for unknowingly using a term like this - but the history and what it implies is questionable to the point where it’s probably best not to use it personally
So... by investigating? lol
insane that she chose to plead guilty, here's the Texas child endangerment law that the prosecution would've needed to prove...

"Under Texas law child endangerment is "any act that exposes a child under the age of 15 to imminent risk of death, bodily harm or physical or mental impairment." The act may be intentional or reckless or may be considered criminally negligent behavior carried out by an act of omission.

For example, a person may be guilty of endangering a child if the child was not wearing a seat belt at the time of an automobile accident. Other acts that may be considered child endangerment include (1) leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle, (2) driving while intoxicated with a child in the automobile, (3) hiring a person with a known history of sexual offense as a child care provider, (4) serving alcohol to an underage driver, (5) leaving a young child unsupervised or in the care of another young child, (6) unreasonable corporal punishment resulting in bodily injury, (7) leaving a young child unsupervised in an unsafe area, (8) leaving handguns within the reach of children, and (8) and failure to report suspected child abuse."
> There isn't anyone optimizing anything, let alone "prematurely"

Yes, but in a slightly different way than one might think at initial read of this. Most of the performance choices for a user-facing application have been made by the time the language and UI framework are decided. And these are just chosen out of inertia, to conform to a company standard or to use what you already know.

There's little one can do to make a WPF or CEF application super responsive.
Why can't there be a middle ground? 40 hours of intense work a week.
Yes. It provides exactly what I need: text notes, reliably saved to the cloud, which are searchable. Being free ($) is a nice bonus but not required; being not-free (open source) a minor negative.
Serious answer to your serious question. Improving Twitter would improve the world. If the people working there are as serious and dedicated as SpaceX employees, they are much more likely to succeed. Serious engineers and designers must be more excited than ever that playtime is over.

Destroying Twitter would also improve the world, if you think that's going to happen. So either way it's a win. Whether it blows up like SpaceX's first few rockets or lands when it really matters.

Edit. And here's GeoHotz as the first canary supporting this point about serious engineers being attracted to this version of Twitter. https://twitter.com/realgeorgehotz/status/159295542717976576...
Hey, thanks for your hard work making a great tool that I used for most of a decade.
Investigating is one thing but it seems that they also punished them before starting their investigation.
Presumably standing around outside, waiting for the SWAT team, and not letting anyone else enter the building. How the Uvalde PD didn't all get charged with aiding and abetting is beyond me.

I was responding to a post about being willing to work for Elon Musk … not work 120 hours a week or abase myself.

For example, if I found myself being pushed into “voluntary” meditation sessions where I chant “I am not me but, We™” I’d be out of there fast.

Or if my boss wanted me to do something horribly unethical like provide fine grained tracking data for users.

But AFAIK Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company, etc. are pretty typical in regards to work life balance, pay, etc.
It was mostly a numbers thing. If probability of any given kid being a good match is p, I wanted a good chance of getting 3-4 good matches i.e. wanted (1-p)^(N-4) to be small, while not losing too much quality due to overpopulated class. I thought a cohort of 20 in the class year was too small. We've also had a cautionary experience with an earlier grade where too many classmates were aggressive little shits who were no fun to deal with (though with enough good eggs to counterbalance).
And honestly, with how successful 9-9-6 culture has been in other parts of the world, maybe he's right and you can actually run a successful software enterprise without a corresponding bump in compensation. It makes a lot of sense if he can pay engineers less and still maintain the product.
You’re implying that those things are necessary to write reasonable functional programs. They’re not.
Wow, I live in Berlin and both my daughters (7 and 11) go and come back from school on their own, since they are 6 yo.

The oldest one takes the U-Bahn (Underground) to school and the bus to attend her hobbies. Often we send one of them to the nearby supermarket to buy last minute stuff.

I like to think that I'm helping them to be independent and aware of their city.

Most of my daughters' friends do the same.
> Later there were some evidence that it can become aeresol in some high concentration situations like hospitals, but for all practical purposes in everyday life its droplet.

That's not true. There are good studies, followed up with full contact tracing in the environment it happened in, that show aerosol transmission in everyday situations (such as planes and restaurants)

Additionally on the poor fitting masks, triple layer surgicals are more effective (not effective enough) when double masking (which that situation is surgical first, cloth second.. this is the same as using a mask brace to ensure a tight fit)

However, the findings from Aaron Collins found that yes, they are better with a mask fitter.. but they still fail to qualify at the same level as an N95, KN95, or KF94 level of protection. (Those are the levels of protection you require when dealing with airborne based contaminants) On top of that it made it more difficult to wear.
FTX Creates Crypto Contagion
Hm, in what way do you find that DVC requires creating new branches for experiment tracking?

I find the following workflow works well, for example:

1. Define steps depending on a `config.yml`.

2. Run an initial experiment (with an initial config) and commit the results.

3. Update config (preserving the alternate config and using symlinks from `config.yml` to various new configs if necessary), re-run, and commit.

4. Results are then all preserved in your git history.
"Hmm, this page doesn't exist"
You are spot on with this comment.

I've done misc small/medium sized software at various times, first in Uni to implement a compiler, later programming Nintendo DS and Wii homebrew using DevKitArm and DevKitPro.

Some days ago I started designing/implementing a system for "password sharing" and thought of writing at least part of it in C: I want to be able to get a password from say, KeePass2Android, then encrypt it with some OTP key (seeded from a preshared key), then generate a sound with it (say using DTMF like tones) and send it through the phone's speaker.

The C app would monitor the sound (microphone, maybe through SDL library), detect a specific tone/wave as the "start" of the message, decodify the message, obtain the string of the encrypted message and decrypted with the OTP key.

Finally, the C app (via xdotool ) would type the password as a keyboard.

I wanted to do this as an easy way to use my phone as my password manager for my computer. I started to write the C part of the application, SDL I've done before, I read a bit about Fourier Transforms and the libraries I'll have to use. In the end doing it in C is going to be a tremendous task, given that in languages like Python there's a lot of stuff already solved.

I love C and its heritage... but I really wouldn't think in starting a serious project in it at this point it time.
Honestly the "right" answer in most of these types of questions is to search for a popular existing implementation. There is never a "we've got to solve this bubble sort algorithm in a locked room with no internet access" scenario. I get that they want to select for people who can solve problems by thinking their way through solutions with code, but I've never been convinced that solving leet code challenges is the way to do that. I'd also much rather solve problems without writing a bunch of code that has to be maintained, so engineers familiar with the tooling ecosystem for their platform of choice should be highly valued.
Yes I guess!
People often confuse intelligence with complexity.

Yes you have to be intelligent to understand complex problems and complex solutions. But just because you are intelligent enough to understand a complicated solution, does not mean the solution is "intelligent".

True intelligence is about coming up with solutions where complexity is minimized.

Even though an intelligent person can understand a complicated solution the complexity of a solution strains even the most intelligent programmer. It takes time to ensure yourself that the solution is correct. Whereas with a simple solution that is easy. It takes intelligence to find a solution that is simple and thus easy.

CBRS LTE is also a thing if you have 3550-3700MHz
Warp currently requires a login to enable cloud-based features, like A.I. Command Search and Block Sharing, along with team features on the roadmap.

In case there was any confusion, Warp never sends the contents of terminal commands and outputs to our servers (unless a user explicitly chooses to use the "Block Sharing" feature).

What Warp currently sends in regard to telemetry is listed here: https://docs.warp.dev/getting-started/privacy#exhaustive-tel....
It doesn't require creating a branch when you iterate, it requires creating a branch or commit if you want to share it with the team - see it on GitHub or in Studio. But even those lightweight iterations (https://dvc.org/doc/command-reference/exp/run) could shared as well via Git server - they won't be visible for now via UI in GH/Studio at the moment.

Happy to provide more details on how it's done. It's actually quite interesting technical thing - custom Git namespace https://iterative.ai/blog/experiment-refs

The licensing that libraries are forced to use in order to support lending digital books only allows them to "loan" the digital book a certain number of times. Depending on publisher, it could be 50-200 loans and then the license goes poof - time to buy a new copy of the digital book to lend out.

Yes, paper books can get destroyed. I remember spilling gravy all over one library book. That was an expensive book to replace. Plus I ruined all that gravy.

> Does the Internet Archive store redundant copies in many locations? Does it use long-term physical formats?

I'm sure they do. Personally, I'd really like to know what some "best practices" there are in doing this. Other than the digital preservation group at the Library of Congress, I'm a newbie at some of this. And no one else has thought about it.

https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/index.html

The state agency I work for has to keep records forever. And they have to be readable forever. You can't have the statutes become unreadable because digital files get bit rot, or folks decide that they don't want to support older versions.
> Sounds fishy. How do we even know these were e-bike fires?

Fire inspectors are remarkably good at pinpointing the cause of a fire.

Many moons ago, I had a NiMH-powered portable vacuum go up and set my apartment on fire.

I actually went with the fire inspector afterward (dumb of me as they were suspicious about the fire--never talk to the police), and he was very happy to talk about it.

Walking around was enlightening: "Okay, let's see. Fire started ... somewhere around ... here. See that V-shape on the walls from the smoke? That's like an arrow pointing at the source. Aaaand, yep, there it is. (Pulls out pliers and yanks wire out of the wall) That's the culprit. (pulls stove out) AHA! There's the other battery they couldn't find. Hmmmm, those cabinets fell. Something heavy in those? (Yeah, cast iron fry pans). That would do it. You had some books right there and there. Oh, that's odd. Dense paper doesn't really burn that well. Those books are well burnt--accelerant here. Did you have oil in those cabinets? (Sure did). Okay. Well, looking at this the temperature was about X degrees--wow, we got lucky--this was pretty close to flashing over. ..." This went on for about an hour.

One thing I really learned--don't try to commit fire insurance fraud unless you're on the level of a fire inspector. They WILL know even if they can't prove it.
Nope. You aren't listening to me. I am getting exactly what he's saying. What I am saying is that the cargo culters could be right. You don't know. Nobody knows.

Additionally he DID say that the approaches were all tools in a toolbox.
Aren't you forgetting the legislators who wrote these overbearing laws in the first place?
Take photo of screen with phone camera, carry it home, OCR. If you're really paranoid you don't want to send the document's bytes off your system or use any unusual program (e.g. steganography) to edit them.
> Didn't talk about old devices.

Does not matter, you stated without nuance that telnet should no be used. So you told GP that they should trash their telnet-only devices.
For whatever it's worth I think you've done a great job answering the question in it's entirety. The moment lending/repayment and interest rates enter the equation with crypto currencies (whose value _completely_ floats) and deflates its issuance in a lot of scenarios - all bets are off as far as repayment goes.

Their is no business plan to account for such swings. The thing we've been saying for ten years on IRC is Bitcoin loans are gifts, because that's what they are. I've had enough loans defaulted on to definitely tell you and agree with this premise: once lending enters the picture, your money is just another row in a database.
I've wondered this too. You could set the gear in neutral, connect the AC power directly to the motor terminals, and then basically run the inverter in regenerative mode.

It looks elegant on paper, at least, but I'm sure there are reasons why it's not done. Maybe due to safety considerations, maybe because the inverter can't handle that much continuous power, or maybe it's just cheaper to have a few big supercharger inverters than to slightly increase the cost of connectors on every car.
Both companies famous for their burn out culture. That the CEO would want all employees to work as much as possible without concern for burnout is completely unsurprising, but that does not make it a good way to run a tech company.

Those companies are clearly not in the same position as twitter either. I have no idea why "trust Elon" should just be taken as a given.
I don't understand why you wouldn't just use google docs or microsoft word to collaborate on a graphic novel? Evernote is not and was never a word processor.

The creators of the street angel graphic novel series said all of their ideas are in a google drive folder.
> People can be strange.

You usually only notice people when they do something weird-- maybe 999 days out of 1000 that neighbor is perfectly normal, but on that one day they were having an off day. That's the day you notice them.

An advantage of living further from people is that just fewer interactions with strangers and near-strangers so fewer opportunities to be the victim of someone's off-day.
> The word Karen in your post is an ageist and racist dog whistle and it is also incredibly insulting to people who happen to be named Karen.

Karen is now an accepted and understood term referring to a very real phenomenon. Anyone with half a brain knows it's not aimed at people named Karen.

There's a huge difference between being named Karen and being a Karen...
Yea, this was for internal communication, presumably to catch leaks. I've not worked there for 10 years now so I can't speak to whether they're still doing anything like this internally but I wouldn't be surprised.
In my experience it is fairly normal in the US, too, which is why stories like this are newsworthy. Also, Reason is a libertarian political rag and they have ideological motivations for sharing this particular story.
The actions of the neighbor is something we can't control for, because we can't control the attitudes and behaviors of people. We can only influence them to some degree. What we can control is the law, and law enforcement response.

Don't get me wrong, I would love it if people everywhere acted rationally and only stuck their nose into other people's business when it is actually necessary and useful to do at. But it's not realistic to expect that we can "fix" everyone, so we should focus on the things we can fix instead.
Perhaps the pseudoscience label is used too sparingly. When people treat something that is not science as science, that is pseudoscience. Modern society is awash with it, as was 19th century medicine.

I'm not sure how much real science they have in psychology in particular. I'm sure there's some, like I've heard they can use fMRI to analyze the language region of the brain to identify what kind of speech disorder you have. But certainly a lot of publications cross the line.

We can still be fair and say they do help a lot of people with therapy, even if they don't really understand why. Historically craftsmen were ahead of scientists in making working technologies. They weren't necessarily peddling in scams and nonsense, they were just not backed by real science.
But without software as a service how will companies expand indefinitely until they bust?
Agreed about the publicity battle.
Many GUE divers do use dive computers. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you don't rely on the computer for anything safety critical.

Most dive computers make it difficult or impossible to do dive planning for more complex scenarios. For example, the Garmin Descent Mk2 has a Plan Dive activity profile. But it only supports square profile dives, doesn't properly handle travel gas, and doesn't generate contingency plans for loss of deco gas. So we have to do dive planning with other software that can generate tables.

Are you speaking as a Twitter employee?
Agree.

This is perfectly exemplified by Python 3's insistence that you call print with parenthesis:

>>> print "hello"

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

I empathize with the lang devs in that having two forms of print is nonoptimal, but the fact it tells you to do something different while fully understanding what you said (as it were) is what really irritates me. It comes off feeling needlessly pedantic for the language.
It’s not that hard to aggregate multiple APIs to a single request.

I guess it’s not that easy. Space Karen did just tweet the first thing he heard from his stuff. And it’s more clearly he doesn’t know how to do PR by his own.

It’s different to apologise for bad performance or blame implicitly the developers.
They must be incredibly jealous of all the successful note taking apps (Notion, Ulysses, Bear, Craft). Evernote were first, and blew it. No other way to describe it.

I dumped Evernote when they restricted their free accounts to 2 devices. Ironically I'm now paying for Ulysses, money I might have give to Evernote had they not been so awful to early adopters.
I would argue that command sequences that mutate global state are far more intuitive to humans (food recipes, furniture assembly manuals, the steps to take to fix a flat tire on your bike, etc.) than functions. So it’s not just what we learn first in a pedagogic sense. We’re already wired for imperative programming. “Thread the state of the world through the food recipe instructions” is a ridiculous concept to a normal person.
