Apart from the rampant whataboutism and cultural relativism in this comment, the question of human rights isn't a political but a universal one. Human rights are non-negotiable.

If a country or organization can't accept (or can't be arsed to) basic human rights, I don't want to associate myself with that organization or country in any way and I certainly won't be supporting any affairs or business that might benefit them.

While there certainly are human rights issues or even blatant human rights violations in almost any country, there's a fundamental difference between that and an almost complete disregard for such basic principles and the nonchalant, devil-may-care, "Fuck human rights, just show us the money!" attitude FIFA displays.
I mean, we're right 99.999% of the time.
We wrote the same post, but your version is a lot less concise and ignores the possibility of something not working out. You can ignore that if you like, but that doesn't make my post any less true, and if you're someone who's actively anxious about the possibility of things going wrong (like the person who started the thread) saying "It'll be fine!" is really unhelpful.
I hadn't thought of scale really.

I guess something like this:

Personal - tens of views a month

Micro - hundreds of views a month

Small - thousands of views a month

Medium - hundreds of thousands of views a month

Large - millions of views a month

X-Large - 10s of millions of views a month

XX-large - .. you get the idea

Huge - Twitter, Facebook, etc

You know what seems to really work to slow people down?

Speed-triggered red lights. Sure, people are more than willing to drive a speed they consider "safe" even if it's above the limit. But most aren't willing to run a red light.

So in many parts of Portugal, that's how they slow you down. If you go above the limit, it triggers a red light. Then you can sit at the red light as other motorists (and even nearby pedestrians) give you a death stare. Thanks for slowing everybody down, dumbass!

Never underestimate the power of an old Portuguese woman (usually dressed in black) staring at you in disgust!

As does glucose and L-Glutamine. Cancer cells literally live off of glucose, specific amino acids and fermentable fuels. What is the FDA's stance on banning sugar?

I would prefer we focus on eliminating molecules from the diet that feed cancer cells and damage mitochondria. I believe we should also cycle up/down molecules that trigger an up-regulation of NRF2/AMPK to literally digest the senescent and especially the damaged cells prior to them becoming cancerous. I am not really a fan of NR/NMN anyway. Both are more expensive than NAM and my body already converts NAM to NR/NMN, it's just a lot slower than superloading NMN directly, not to mention NMN alone will only activate the Sirt genes but other nutrients are required for repair. Excess NMN is converted back to NAM for storage and when there is too much we just urinate it out. But I am no biologist and the folks pushing these supplements will not respond to my inquiries.

Small note: it’s Cliff Asness from AQR who came up with the illiquidity “premium,” though Levine does report it a lot. This matters a bit bc AQR is a large hedge fund that trades in liquids and therefore is marked frequently… there’s a bit of self-serving bias here (although may still be true).
So, are there 1,000 RPCs needed to render the timeline or not?

The Android engineer didn't seem to know the difference between an RPC and a request from an end user client. The former timeline engineer disabled public responses to his tweet and has refused to elaborate. Neither of them backed up their contradiction with a rebuttal.

Edit: Was curious so did some digging and found more:

> @elonmusk:

> I was told ~1200 RPCs independently by several engineers at Twitter, which matches # of microservices. The ex-employee is wrong.

> Same app in US takes ~2 secs to refresh (too long), but ~20 secs in India, due to bad batching/verbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low.

> Part of today will be turning off the “microservices” bloatware. Less than 20% are actually needed for Twitter to work!

> And we will finally stop adding what device a tweet was written on (waste of screen space & compute) below every tweet. Literally no one even knows why we did that …
Even with the book format, I found the doc with hyperlink format is much more pleasant to read with. I would pay for it as an ebook.

By your own logic, the government is a third party. Because the government aka the tax payer covers that public cost...
If we're splitting hairs, your situation sounds more like memoization, where you have saved the output of an expensive but deterministic calculation. With the correct assumptions, this can never result in incorrect behavior. Worst case is excessive memory consumption. Whereas a stale cache is something that needs to be taken into account.
Webrings died because they were made for personal homepages, and social media killed personal homepages.
My problem with the term 'cache' here is that people have expectations about what cache is and when you violate them you tend to discover that they've returned the favor.

> push the updates directly to cache instead of relying client to trigger cache filling

You can use cache software to fulfill such a role but it's not exactly a cache anymore, and keeping people from treating it like one is some kind of cat herding.

You're using it as a data store at this point, which for one has very different eviction semantics - exactly 1 copy of each concept, no more, no less. You can store such things in Consul, for instance, and get very low stale read latency. The cache implementation scales higher but breaks sooner. Pick your poison.
This is fundamentally exactly what it comes down to. For driving to be safer for people it must become less convenient, more stressful and frustrating for drivers. It seems like most americans think of themselves as drivers first, and reject that.

Sorry, because of value semantics. (Also, you wrote "performance costs of inopportune value semantics". So the correction is annoying; you know what I meant.)

This stuff seeps in without the programmer realizing it because Go made a deliberate design decision to have automatic lifetime management. In other words, this is a feature of the language and not a bug. The only way for this to not seep in is if Go forced programmers to specify most lifetimes, which would make the language much more cumbersome to use.

I.e., this is not a value-vs-reference semantics issue. It's a manual-lifetime-management vs automatic-lifetime-management issue. The solution is to either 1) write in a language with more explicit lifetimes if performance is that important, or 2) profile your code and reduce heap allocations, which is what the person who wrote the article did.

Well said. I would add they do the same once they jump out of the car, especially when placing speed traps that cause artificial traffic interruptions and possibly accidents. And when they unnecessarily pull over and harass drivers on the highway for driving normal speeds, posing great danger to others.
Yup, it's definitely a bit of a code smell if you do. The issue is more the reverse, though - I can't make a mutable map, then hand it by pointer/reference to something that says it wants an immutable map later.
OP here. When I think of an employer as desperate to hire, I think of it in the same way that I'm desperate to get more milk when I'm out of milk. I go to the store with milk on my mind, I pick from the few on offer, buy it and take it home. I don't need to taste test or anything like that.

Of course everyone wants to be a premium brand but sometimes it just doesn't work out like that.

A challenge is that most job listings are mostly "3-5 years of experience in $TECHNOLOGY," or rather there are so many $TECHNOLOGIES listed that almost no one is going to be an expert in all of them. It's difficult to tell from the outside whether they want someone who has experience in at least some of the core and can learn the rest, or whether they're holding out for the perfect candidate.
It was popular with people who came from a Unix background and wanted to port Unix software to DOS/Windows (or even OS/2). While the API differences were still a challenge, GCC did better at code ported from Unix than Borland/Microsoft/etc did - especially since a lot of that software was already being compiled under GCC on Unix anyway

True that Borland/Microsoft was more popular among professional DOS/Windows developers, especially those for whom that was their native platform

> those that could not buy them, would get copies from a street bazar

Teenage me didn’t know of any “street bazaars” selling Microsoft/Borland developer tool warez. But I walked into the local computer shop and saw some modestly priced CD-ROMs, with GCC (among other things), and convinced my Dad to buy them for me.
I tried it on some images that seemed difficult to process, for example where the same color is on the edge of the bottle and the background, and it seems to do a great job!
What's the alternative?

Stop building double-wide roads in areas where speed control is desirable.

Start prioritizing humans over cars.

Locally, they've put several such roads on "diets" with good success (usually cutting lane count in half, using the space for bike lanes). Accident rates are down, speeding is down, and throughput only marginally impacted.

I guess we could develop roads that are actually sized for the speed you want people to travel... I'm told by every civil engineer in America that that's crazy talk for some reason.

It's only crazy if rule #1 is maximizing auto throughput, which has historically been true in the US. And it's hard to do retroactively, because other transit options usually aren't sufficient (and cost a fortune to retrofit). But, designing such places from scratch shouldn't be too difficult.

It shouldn't be too bad as long as you keep in mind that it is a reference to an item in that slice, so whatever that slice is pointing to needs to stick around as long as you're using elements from it. I don't often encounter borrow checker issues anymore, because once you program Rust long enough you know what things need to live for what lifetimes, and you architect your "larger programs" around that.

Yes. I've never been an avid football fan but I used to occasionally watch World Cup and European Championship matches together with friends. I've stopped doing so since the 2018 World Cup in Russia and I will continue to boycott any events FIFA has a part in.

They're corrupt, they don't care about how people are treated in their host countries or even about the most basic of human rights, as their dealings with Qatar have made abundantly clear, and they are absolutely shameless about it.
Odds are still in your favor to speed. What was the traffic volume over the course of that week to calculate the odds?

I see more and more in residential areas at 25mph where they install digital signs indicating current speed through highly traveled streets to hopefully slow down drivers but idea if that theory works. I'm assuming it doesn't hurt given how drivers are easily distracted but I'm curious if these sign log any data.
I have fond memories of the WAP internet. In 2001 in Canada it was really expensive to get any kind of data plan, and you might only get 5MB per month. I had a plan with no data at all, but you could use the WAP browser to access a handful of things for free, on the provider's website. It was things like weather, very limited news and movie times. One day I was messing around in there, and a 404 page had a link to google. I bookmarked the link and from that day had unlimited WAP internet access (and google had a built-in gateway to WAPify any web page). My next phone was not a flip phone, had a real (bad browser), and had a prominent web browser button that worked from any other screen. However you could only exit the browser by navigating menus. It also had a tendency to reset in your pocket, which of course turned off the keylock. So at least once a day you'd end up pocket-googling and using up your precious megabytes.

> The ACA covered none of it or a very small portion

The ACA is not an insurance plan, so I assume you are using "ACA" as shorthand for "ACA-compliant insurance coverage".

It is simply not plausible that an ACA-compliant plan would wholesale "not cover" a hospital stay for myocarditis, absent extremely niche and bizarre circumstances.

Given that you don't seem very familiar with the specifics, I have to assume that your information is either missing some very important details, or incorrect.
A modern solution is to abandon old, no-longer-relevant typographic language rules, or to make typographic language rules context-specific.

But I agree that we need to make several alternative space characters easy to type:

- non-breaking space (for this French rule)
- wide space (for disambiguating sentence
ending periods from non-sentence-ending
periods)
- zero-width non-breaking space (for
preventing word-splitting?)
Let's face it, operators in the crypto space have generally proven to be untrustworthy. In an ironic twist to the "trustless decentralized..." we've ended up with highly centralized untrustworthy operators. It turns out companies that operate in a deliberate regulatory grey zone tend to... you know... not operate with integrity. Let's face it, there are some stable coins out there we know aren't backed, but haven't blown up yet.
It doesn't convince me because I do not know anyone personally that has had an adverse reaction to aspirin, that didn't also overdose on it. Meanwhile, I know several people that have had adverse reactions to the vaccine ranging from issues with periods, to heart problems, to death.

No one is seriously tracking the adverse reactions, we've handed that off to the companies that produced the vaccines. And doctors are afraid to or don't care to raise concerns either. The vaccines are as statistically safe for me as COVID is for my age and health profile. And the vaccine makes no guarantee that I won't still catch COVID. Why would I double my risk when I've caught COVID, and it was nothing for me.
I don't know much about Austrian economics, but the wiki article about its "malinvestment" concept [1] sounds like it's talking about us:

> In Austrian business cycle theory, malinvestments are badly allocated business investments due to artificially low cost of credit and an unsustainable increase in money supply. Central banks are often blamed for causing malinvestments, such as the dot-com bubble and the United States housing bubble. Austrian economists such as the Swedish central bank's Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureate F. A. Hayek advocate the idea that malinvestment occurs due to the combination of fractional reserve banking and artificially low interest rates misleading relative price signals which eventually necessitate a corrective contraction – a boom followed by a bust.

I think SBF’s public and, AFAICT, honest belief in expected value optimization without regard to risk played a fairly central role in every step of the fraud, and that it constitutes a very specific form of incompetence.
I think it's a bit unfair to characterize every company that is "starting" as a "startup", particularly when the "startup" in question is/was backed by one of the largest companies on the planet. I don't think people think of such companies' endeavors as startups, even when they are starting.

> I would be grateful if someone could explain why they would need to cut down on tech debt in order to keep the product in a functional holding pattern. Obviously there are going to be things that break and new exploits that need to be taken into consideration, but when I think about tech debt I imagine kludge-ridden, inelegant/inefficient code that is poorly documented.

The code is one part of tech debt, and the other is infrastructure around that. Just as a random example, maybe the flow to add a blue checkmark needs to pass through a service that wasn't designed to support that load. They want to make it scale horizontally, but it was written as a stateful service and the code is a mess, so something that should have taken a week or a month now takes a year. It also may depend on a service that nothing else uses, like a weird bastardization of an old MySQL.

The problem with that tech debt is the inability to move quickly (even in response to outages), and the almost inevitable downtime related to trying to fix a poorly designed, poorly written, and/or poorly documented service.

It also kind of prevents you from cutting the staffing levels too far, because some portion of those people are tasked with "preventing the tech debt from taking the service offline".

I have no insight on how the tech debt affects Twitter in particular, but tech debt can be a very real thing.

Supposedly this article has been mis-cited of late and the keyboard shortcuts / mouse shortcuts of yore are distinct from what we have today. I can't find recent links but I'll offer the general advice that words used in the 70s do not necessarily have the same connotations they carry today.
