The same happens at corporations. When you are in planning meetings you often know the politically correct answer already. If you say it will actually take five times longer you are out of the inner circle. That although everybody knows that it will take that long. Seems the whole hierarchy is one big circle where everybody bullshits each other and knows it.

I can see how forgiveness can be weaponized like that but to me forgiveness is only there to benefit the forgiver. Granted, getting good at forgiveness risks you just becoming a door mat. Similarly, Getting good at grace risks you becoming naive and ignorant to the world around you.
There’s an important difference between competing on features and competing on “x but not x”. Zoom (which is over a decade old) is video conferencing software, it’s not “webex but not webex”. Zoom stands alone, it competes on quality of service. Starting a “Twitter alternative” is not the same as building a short-form social media service (even if it does eventually become a Twitter alternative).
Maybe I am posting on the wrong forum, but a lot of people seem to have this magical notion that CEOs make everything in a company happen. Elon single-handedly made those rockets land on a raft in the ocean. Elon re-invented electrical cars all by himself. Elon made a Mars habitation dream possible. Except Elon did none of those things. He was the CEO of companies whose staff did those things, following his vision. Staff. People. It always takes a team. The team of people that he is currently attempting to grind into dust at Twitter.

I do enjoy reading the Wikipedia article on particular hot button topics.

And medical articles are also very frequently biased/agenda driven.

Often it's a complete fantasy omitting any real world painful facts.

I'm easily entertained but a recent one from a week ago was the article on Monkeypox outbreak within the UK[0]. The current UK strategy from the likes of PHE is to vaccinate gay & bisexual men.

It's been a sore topic in the UK, but literally no mention in the article.

The NHS article mentions it [1].

So the world's most popular encyclopaedia, sanitizer its 'truth'.

Cool list, thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately none of those solutions are self hosted AND automated. They all seem to either use their own ifra, which will be slow & throttled, or require setting up a server and manually editing DNS.

I may try to get my own project added to that list though, so thanks for sharing!
You mean like the native Americans? Pretty sure that's still the largest scale, most drawn out genocide in the entire history of our species.

This is really interesting. The site is very beautiful! I'm curious: let's say I'm 30 years old. How can I be sure that 'posterity.life' will be around if I live a full and long life. A _lot_ can change in fifty years.

This seems like an obvious concern and I don't see it covered in your FAQ. This is not hypothetical. There are many similar (not identical) services that are no more. See SafeBeyond for one such example.

What do you say to folks who wonder about whether their lives will be longer than that of this site?
That story is heartbreaking, and such a good example of what to do with grief. Grieving about the thing that hurts has a terminus, emotionally; bearing a grudge 'pins' the grief to you, holding it in place indefinitely.
I agree! The desktops they've built themselves are wonderfully designed, if rather expensive. I'm looking forward to the first laptop they make where they designed the whole thing.
In Germany the registrar of the birth place (or last address if born outside Germany) will be notified in case of death and can be asked. Your client would register his address, birth date and birth place with you anyway.
I’ve been listening to a medical history podcast called Sawbones. It’s funny how history rhymes so well. Every generation of health experts have had this sort of smug superiority about how the previous generations were such morons and, finally, they actually understand how things work.

But even today it’s obvious that’s simply untrue. Less fats and proteins, more grains? Way to go, food pyramid.

I’m not equipped to scrutinize this report on red meat. But I do know that they can be very very wrong and to be skeptical of any bold claim in any direction.
Same here, happy pCloud user (unlimited plan) for 2 years now. I didn't get the encryption, but it goes on sale from time to time for $75 lifetime.

I encrypt all my files locally before sending so the encryption doesn't matter for me.

I use rclone with --transfers 32 (for smaller files) and it seems to work fine without throttling.
I had the same question when I first saw this post because the title is kinda generic, but the description is right at the top of a page: a Scratch mod with a compiler. There's more detail on the actual tool's page:

> TurboWarp is a Scratch mod that compiles projects to JavaScript to make them run really fast.

And Scratch has it's own resources, because it is it's own project; the target audience is clearly (possibility prospective) Scratch users.
I don't generally want to eat food that's already been chewed. Arguably things like applesauce have been industrially chewed though.

When you eat food, your body processes it, exposing it to all sorts of nasty physical and chemical processes.

The objection to 'processed foods' is mostly about when the processing significantly changes the content of the food, whether that's from significant additives, or strucural changes like breaking down fiber. If you're ok with eating meat, nobody much cares about processing that removes parts that people don't eat and don't want to see, but if anything much is added, that's flagged (dye, water, preservatives, etc)

I wouldn't say it's delicious. Try preparing meat yourself without any seasoning. It's eadible but that's the best you can say about it. We have to do additional work to make it delicious.
I think you underestimate MS Teams marketshare. If I'm not mistaken, I've read somewhere Zoom is loosing ground with each Q to competitors. But MS dominates now, for sure.
Also worth pointing out, almost none of these online conferencing products were "alternatives to X". They all had their own unique propositions. Superior video quality and streaming, collaboration tools etc. Those who build "alternatives" - fail.

Isn't Youtube for people with ADD? I don't really use Youtube much, but when I do end up on the site its full of cheap videos with people "reacting" to things with yelling/shocked faces and a bunch of chaotic nonsense.

The only good things on youtube are music videos, DIY repair, and lectures / talks that gets uploaded.
Isn't the logic reversed in this case? Spying on US citizens is fine as long as you aren't the US government. Hence 5 eyes and so on.
So let's just assume that (generously) the cost here is really just "give the second income quintile an additional $1,000 per month"; on the rough-and-ready basis that most transfers are currently going to be the first income quintile and that UBI offsets those.

~260M adults in the U.S. so ~52M in that group; for a cost of $624bn annually. Bear in mind, this is assuming no-one in the third or fourth quintiles get anything, which is much less generous than your proposal, and that $1,000 per month is at the low end of the range often proposed.

And let's say we're going to fund that by taxing the top 25% of tax payers. In 2019, last year with good data, the top 25% paid about $1.4tn of income taxes. So basically income taxes would have to increase by ~50% for that group.

It sounds like it was purposely written to be the cold open of the inevitable Netflix miniseries.
I just don't understand how people can't see the threat. All you have to do is keep showing bad news videos about inflation, crime rate, illegal immigration to turn population against the government subtly mixed with normal videos. They can also pacify people by subtly mixing good news videos. And anyone who thinks people aren't so easily gamed don't understand people. This is like cnn and fox news on steroids. One continuous drip of emotions fed by a foreign adversary.
Reddit comes to mind as an alternative (to Digg) that succeeded (by at least some definitions of the word). A massive amount of Reddit's early user growth came from a poorly-received redesign to Digg's home page. There are a lot of parallels to draw to the changes Musk has in mind for Twitter.
> Why would they be in any rush to remove Rosetta 2 at all?

Due to the belief that any backwards compatibility comes at the cost of a higher difficulty moving forwards, I suppose.

There will probably come a time in which a new feature will collide with this compatibility layer and I have little doubt that the compatibility layer will lose.
I think anyone who’s been in a slaughterhouse would find it difficult to agree with that statement and even so, the sheer scale means that the amount of suffering is unfathomable.
> What could they possibly be doing?

People constantly underestimate the size of the support staff needed to keep the engineering team productive. For every ten or so software engineers you hire to work on a new product or feature, you're going to need 5-10 QA engineers, another project manager, another product manager, maybe another build engineer, maybe more internal IT staff... You need these people. Software doesn't just leap from developers' fingertips directly onto store shelves. And now that that program's engineering manager has so many more direct reports, that manager needs another manager to split his duties up... And now that there are so many managers, their Director maybe needs a personal assistant to help keep her schedule better organized. All that extra staff eventually requires more HR support, more people working in facilities/building management, more janitors. On the business side, this product is going to need a few more marketers, maybe salespeople to sell it, business analysts to track its effectiveness, and so on. After a couple rounds of this, the company looks up and somehow has 3,000 people and HN sneers about what could they all be doing...
This is an oddly specific set of qualifiers. Would love to hear how you arrived at this conclusion and maybe some examples

I wrote a web server that handled a lot of requests, and my solution to 2. was to have it notify me via our alert chat channel every time it panicked. This was rare enough that I could investigate them individually, and if it got overwhelming (it never did) I could choose to do something fancier.
It depends on the actual definition of "influencer" (I mean, I certainly don't follow vapid TV or YouTube celebrities), but I do listen. In the niches I follow on YouTube, I certainly pay attention to the channels I enjoy and sometimes buy the products they recommend.
CO2 asphyxiation is not kind. The effect of elevated CO2 blood levels is to make you panic that you are suffocating; you struggle for breath. Nitrogen gas is much kinder; you don't know that you are suffocating, you just pass out. (So be extra-vigilant around tanks of N2).
Micro is a μ, so it’s fine too.
Who defines what “better” is? You’re a collection of atoms put together by a meaningless evolutionary process. In that sense, “better” is purely your preference not some objective truth. And in this case, some people prefer to kill and eat animals.

I agree that most types come with a natural variable name.

However, in many cases a more descriptive name is way appropriate. On top of my mind:

- Multiple variables of the same type. How are you supposed to distinguish between req and req2? Compare it to something like "apiReq" and "cdnReq"

- Primitive types, that does not inherently carry a domain value. An integer called "seconds" or "max_offset" has a lot more meaning that one named "num"

Forcing such a notation into the language would make impossibile to represent all these cases

For anyone who doesn't know, Judas was the betrayer symbol maybe most familiar to US people then:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_Iscariot

Another facet of this reference is that Jesus was called "the Good Shepherd", and there were analogies of protecting and leading his flock in a caring and benevolent way, rescuing a lamb who was lost, etc.:

https://start.duckduckgo.com/?q=good+shepherd&iax=images&ia=...

Judas, an apostle (kind of an apprentice) of the Good Shepherd, when a slaughterhouse goat leading literal sheep to their deaths, sounds like a very Bad Shepherd.
This is the hard problem in a nutshell and one thing that no-one who proposes "an alternative Twitter" seems to get.

Extreme free speech? Racism? Maybe. Racial hatred? No, I'm a bit uncomfortable now. Someone questioning the mainstream? Seems harmless; because lizards are taking over the world! No, you are mad but the person who thinks that Soros is taking over the world is welcoime because that sounds less mad.

Good luck.
> Small decentralized communities which users can freely and easily create and manage is the way to go!

The thing I most enjoyed about Twitter was that in one feed I had a little bit of everything. The world you propose means that i'd need to belong to dozens of such sites. I loved how I could scroll down and see posts on a large variety of topics, get news updates, see the weather, etc. Yes there were clear clusters in the people I followed, but the overall breadth was large.

In theory something like the fediverse provides this as well, but I'm not sold.

Not really. I just mentioned it because it was notably slower than ss. I did not actually measured it, just saw it when trying the example.

From my 4 points I wouldn't hold the first two alone against an AI driven suggestion. Only the last two, while not horrible bad or severe or anything, are (imo) notable downsides compared to the typical ss/netstat approach.
Sure, let's be more accurate. Replace the Corolla with BrandNewCarX. How do you know the engine won't blow up 5 laps into the race? You objectively can't know, because the only way to find out is to perform extensive testing over a long period of time, so as far as I'm concerned whoever is adding Rust into the kernel is making the kernel a testbed for Rust and if it doesn't go as planned, everyone will be paying the price. Since Rust is already in the kernel, I hope all the Rust fans are right about it.

Haven't watched the movie (I just know from the synopsis it's not very faithful to the novel, what with all those biker dudes) but boy is the novel bleak!

I mostly avoid getters/setters in Go code, unless I have a lot of functions all related to the same thing similarly named. It's the return type that denotes the return. It's already in the function signature.

That advice is a consequence of Go expecting function signatures to be read and understood. That's not the right choice for all programming languages, but for Go it works.

See, paying $44B for a company that doesn't make any profit and doesn't grow or doesn't create some kind of technology or platform that might be very valuable some day prohibits you from just letting it be. Even for the richest person on the planet, that's a very significant amount of money and that's before the loan with the $1B yearly interest he took for the purchase.

That means, either He makes Twitter profitable or Twitter shuts down in a few years(He might prolong it by burning from his personal wealth) without anything to show for the money. As an owner and CEO, he can't afford to let Twitter operate as if it is business as usual.
