Twitter is a complex application which serves a ridiculous amount of traffic to people around the world. That kind of system is constantly changing in response to user activity - it’s done in the same way that a garden is done. Musk just laid off the landscapers so what’s about to happen isn’t immediate but is inevitable.
I will add Mammoth Biosciences to the list. We are looking for Software Engineers, Data Engineers, Data Scientists and more.

The idea that both sides are equally bad. That is demonstrably false.
Funny how the post without “Koch-funded” in the headline had such a different discussion when it was posted here last year.

edit: I think it’s also worth pointing out that they are not suing for money (only lawyers fees and $1 nominal fee), they are just asking the government to stop working with google to install covid tracking apps that users cannot uninstall.
Looking at my Ex-Word PCB again, I think it actually uses a Hall Effect sensor to detect when it's closed; I couldn't find a magnet that mates with it when the device is closed, but the frame is metal so maybe it just detects that? Hall effect sensors for clamshell devices appear to be industry standard (laptops, flip phones, etc.).
Hmm good question. On the one hand, I work for a very large company as a software engineer at the moment, and the team I'm on handles their public website. So anything on the site home page (or site wide) would count. I've also worked with companies who have had other large corporations as clients, and have worked on things like CRO tests and full website redesigns for them. So any one of the things I've worked on in a professional capacity could count.

But at the same time, my personal websites and videos have had a pretty big impact too, with a fair few of the latter reaching over a million views, and a few articles on the former getting covered by all kinds of news publications and getting a good number of views there too.

So it's hard to be sure.
Actually what struck me from your link is how fast renewables are growing.

Your linked article refers to the US only, but from that article, wind was 7% of power generation and solar was 2% in 2019.

By comparison, in the first six months of 2022 the equivalent number for wind is 11.5% and for solar is 5%:
https://electrek.co/2022/08/25/us-renewables-first-half-2022...

So wind+solar have gone from 9% to 16.5% of US electricity production in 2.5 years? That is a fairly remarkable growth rate, assuming I am not misinterpreting the data somehow.

He's definitely not communicating the vision as well as he did with Tesla or SpaceX.

That's a serious problem. But he has said the plan is to turn it into X, the everything app. Like WeChat.
Russia has more Arctic military bases than NATO – why it matters
I’ve been very careful about where and who I work with over my career. I’m sorry you’ve had that experience. There are better places out there with cultures that are excellent fractally (although not homogeneously - all organizations have tails in both directions). If you look up and feel the people above you shouldn’t be there, you’re in the wrong place. If you look up and you see inspiration, then you’re in the right place. The key is as you mature and gain your seniority it’s incumbent on you to be that inspiration, even if you don’t feel like you can be or deserve to be. People can’t see the inside of your soul, or your failings, or your incompetencies - they can only see your actions and your example and your tone. Practice doing those “right,” and your team will emulate and be what you aren’t for you. That’s leadership.
> If Google is actually focused

That’s unfortunately a big IF in modern Google era
That explanation is exactly what I meant by malice. Microsoft is trying to force people to do something to their own computers that they don't want to do and that isn't actually necessary to do.
Monopolies eventually die. All of them. Believe it or not.
Edico developed FPGA-based processing solution for common bioinformatics processing tasks (e.g. dna/rna mapping, variant calling) and the company was bought by Illumina.

The product (Dragen) has been around for a few years and now will be integrated in the new generation of sequencers. Extremely impressive technology and a better fit for the niche compared to GPU-based solutions I have seen. More downstream processing and analytics is sometimes closer to traditional ML and naturally there are lots of GPU-based algos.
> You're saying a State Government can request Google installs a 3rd party app on 1 million phones? If that's true then I'm genuinely astonished. And more so that it wasn't headline news at the time.

Yes. That's what happened. (I'm not sure if the 1E6 phones claim is accurate, but it was a non-trivial chunk of people near MA).
I think you think the fediverse is far more monolithic than it is. Gab is there, so are a bunch of trans activists. Their content don't intersect.

I don't win if you're unfulfilled in friends and content, you don't lose if I have the most followers. Journalism broadcasting and sourcing is a model that might not work in mastodon, but mastodon doesn't have to be a 1-1 mapping of the existing social uses of Twitter
I didn't got the end though. Not sure what happened and if everything before that was true or only the imagination of the I that, well, went away?

Agree that not everyone will buy this. But it is why many people are working in positions that are otherwise worse on paper. It's up to them to decide if its real or not.
Ironically, the entire article could've been a tweet:

> Although, to keep things in perspective, Tumblr is still much, much smaller than Twitter.

Imagine thinking Tumblr is still relevant, especially when Gas (not to mention TikTok) is absolutely crushing it with teens. Totally disconnected from reality.
Indeed. It's always been hard to write a good title, but in this age of click-back it's hard to avoid writing a bad title.
I assume by 'the chattering class', they meant people who are paid to churn out articles like this. We're complainer class, the ones who complain about them in the comments :)
Several people have asked "why not a Jupyter notebook?" There are several reasons, but one is that notebooks require each cell to be a runnable piece of code. For explanatory purposes, authors frequently want to show excerpts or snippets, e.g., a few lines from a function or one method from a class. There are ways to do this with notebooks, but they're all very clumsy.
I started working at a genomics company about a couple of years ago and my experience is very different from the post. Although there might be a handful of bioinformatics tools that are quite old, the ones at the heart of of operations are worked on by teams and reasonably maintained, and although I agree with the headline that there's a lot of work to be done in the area - my perspective is a little different. Although this doesn't apply to all genomics companies, I'm at a company that has a lab, and the software we write makes the lab about 8x more efficient and the next generation of sequencing technology will bring sequencing costs down by about 5x. Meanwhile the science and literature keep pushing further and newer generations of physicians are putting a stronger emphasis on genomic counseling. Thanks in part to the power of viral sequencing data the government is starting to trust laboratories that bring valuable and actionable insights. I think all of those combined with the fact that CRISPR technologies are getting further along puts genomics in a unique position. TLDR; yes genomics is exciting and on the brink of something big, but no it's not a dumpster fire that needs saving. Oh and as a bonus - I get to work with really smart scientists and they are very friendly :)
That's so cool! Where can I find more similar topics on JS-free implementation of "tree", "fixed table header", etc? Thanks!
I'd expand:

Most Baltic basin states, except Germany sort of, benefit by reduced reliance of Europe on Russian gas. Russia is constantly making threats to all of it's neighbours in that region but keeps discord in Europe via the gas blackmail. Similar story for Ukraine.

Western Europe - it's also not inconceivable. For example France is a net exporter of energy to Germany, and probably also doesn't like the Russian gas blackmail (while being less susceptible to it herself).

So literally anyone has some kind of incentive. Except perhaps Germany. You could still argue that Germany benefits in the long run as that reliance is bad for them, as it turns out, but it's harder to see them going cold turkey on themselves.
Russia doesn't have the infrastructure to sell this gas to China. Nevertheless it could still be advantageous to China, since now Russia will be more desperate to close deals in general.
Any particular edition of Molecular Biology of the Cell you’d recommend? I just looked up the 7th edition on Amazon (seems like the latest) and it’s $300 USD. Oof.
Again, opposition to white supremacy is not anti-white. Your statement relies on not distinguishing between the two, which I hope is unintended.
In this case, it might not be effected. But in general I wouldn't consider it "De-Googled" unless it didn't have any Google services on it.
Perhaps expressing your opinion and dislike to a certain group of people in a minimally respectful way would fit better a public forum.
> am not able to see the followers of my friends on different servers, so I guess it does matter to pick a popular one

If you go to their profile page, you can — it's just your view of them on your server that doesn't show the list of followers. Yes, that's clunky, but at least there's a workaround.

I'm pleasantly surprised so far, although I haven't gone all in yet. The web interface and general experience isn't significantly different from twitter, and the decentralised concept seems really nice once you 'get' it. I'm planning on switching server at some point, to a more 'focussed' one, so that will be the next big test.
Oh I even checked urbandict to be sure that it couldn't be this and all I found was the happy sound surfer make "Yew".

I think that's just a sign of the times that you see right-wing and left-wing comments everywhere even when it isn't there at all.
He addresses this exact thing in his list. It's a good time to buy even more, VTSAX is effectively on sale if you are in it for the long haul.

Time in the market > timing the market.
What is often needed in visualizations is showing several parameters next to each other. Think not color maps that showvariation of one value, like a heat map, but line or bar charts, or area maps with various pars marked.
It's 2022, if people wanted to make their knowledge freely available, they do. You can't claim that knowledge is not shared enough, today, in an age when you have more access to knowledge than people in the past.

You aren't paying for knowledge, you are paying to get knowledge in this form, a form that you apparently find useful. It took many people work to put that together, and those people chose to put their work into a framework that you feel you can just bypass and ignore the laws around.
> But I’ve been wondering: why is everyone leaving? Is everyone leaving? What has changed other than the verification thing?

The calls for advertiser boycotts started as soon as the takeover was announced, well before it actually went through. I think users threatening to leave and calling for other users to leave also started at the same time.

I rather suspect that this is due to Musk being from a different pillar[1].

(It's all gotten turned up to 11 now that he's actually in charge and seems to be showing off his :tableflip: skills, but it was already started before that happened.)

I'm very new to this area, and am really not the right person to ask, but I'll try my best ;)

In general you have frameworks when lots of people are trying to solve a large number of problems that look similar at the start and then will diverge. That's pretty web specific. I think instead in bio you mostly get (and will keep getting) modular tools and pipeline standardization.
> I really want this car but I live in a full size SUV or F150 and above dominated area. Kind of need to be on guard.

This feels like a weird reason to not want a small car. Consider that a lot of highways are dominated by semis, but nobody suggests buying a semi to commute in.
I would like this to require a warrant, but it’s hard to see why it should with the law as written. Placing a camera in a public place just isn’t a search or seizure.
> It's looking since the US midterms like the new hotness in western hard right circles is going to be the war on youth. Young people (especially women and people of colour) overwhelmingly reject white male supremacism, for fairly obvious reasons: they're also more inclined to be worried about climate change

Charlie Stross? Sounds like a white man. (Checks.) Yup.

White liberals projecting their values onto “people of color” is maddening. Since they coined that phrase, their margins with non-whites have eroded, to the point the GOP just had their best year with minorities in decades. In Florida, where the GOP actually has a ground game targeted at Latinos (the youngest demographic in the country) they won the demographic by double digits (and not just Cubans). Now maybe the author can be forgiven for not knowing that since he appears to be British, but over the pond a significant defection of Indians from Labour has helped make an Indian Tory Prime Minister.

As a card carrying “person of color” I’ve literally never heard a non-white person (who wasn’t on TV) express concern about climate change. I’m sure they exist. But you just have to look at the polling to see that it’s not a top concern: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most-important-problem.asp...
Unless I'm missing something, a spread between 10 and 20 is not a place where you can 'buy for 10 and sell for 20'.

Otherwise these 2 guys could fill their orders immediately.

10 20 means you can sell for 10 and buy for 20 instead.
> Last mile I can walk/cycle

You can, but can everyone else? I see quite a few disabled, seniors and pregnant people on trains. Not to mention people who are exhausted from their day.
> The first issue is your friendships begin tracking your life stage. Using a normative example, single people will tend to be friends with single people and married people will tend to be friends with other married people. Likewise, people will children will tend to be friends with other people with children.

This has been the hardest thing about being in my 30s as a single (and not particularly looking) lesbian woman. It's an unusual enough life choice that there just plain isn't a friendship pool. Most single people my age are low-key using their friend gatherings to look for partners. So my options for friends are either much older or much younger. I have more in common with the kids (gaming, techy stuff, etc.) but society says you're a creep if you do that so I'm basically alone. It sucks.

I don't want a partner, but man I wish I wanted one.
> Or more concretely to your example: what does it mean for a function to 1) be pure and 2) to behave pure? And what would it mean if a function is/does neither?

1) function is intrinsically pure in the mathematical sense: it produces the same output for the same input each time. In practical terms, code execution must not have side effects on the system.

2) function has been made pure in the sense that a compiler can reason about its inputs and outputs as if it was actually pure in the mathematical sense. Code execution can have side effects on the system, but this has been neatly abstracted away.

Memory limitations are not a good analogue: I/O requires interrupts.
Ironic when they lobby many politicians themselves. If they really wanted to put their money where their mouth is, they'd support a public fund for campaign finances, no ability to fund politicians outside of that.
Not OP but I use podcasts, books and following intelligent people (not from the media) on twitter.
Unfortunately I feel similarly, especially with a small child. SF has essentially stopped enforcing traffic violations, drivers are getting reckless, and a RAV4 is the smallest vehicle that feels safe to me.
Thanks for making this! I was one of those 5 million DAU :-)
They're not. They hitting record level DAUs.

I'm leaving Twitter is the new I'm moving to Canada.
> But the performance doesn’t correlate as well at higher levels, though, unaware of the effect of the nonlinearity, the psychologists will think it does.

Dunno what the author is trying to say. Most psychologists into IQ should know it is a normal distributed scale. And a correlation of 1 with any empiric data with IQ is just hyperbole. Who says there is any perfect correlation with something and IQ in the lowest range.

People are declaring their tribal affiliation.

Twitter used to be owned by the blue tribe.

Now it's owned by a member of the red tribe.

That's all there is to it.
You need to:

* Apply security patches - there's thousands of dependencies.

* Manage hardware/cloud resources according to volume of data you need to handle.

* React to the changes in operating systems/browsers you run on.

* Fix bugs - they are there, because simply there's not enough time, money, and need to write "perfect" software. Competition will not do that and will beat you to the market.

There's no internet connected software, that can "just run", because world around is changing and you must catch up.

Fells a bit weird to explain that on HN :-|
It is not, not if you can build this system on your own.

Demanding you be paid for your time to build this demonstrates you aren't convinced it's a profitable idea, which is a huge red flag to potential investors.
Elon Musk's Big Mistake(Thunderf00t)
Everything in the world discriminates against some class of people. Taylor Swift is optimizing for "verified fans" - i.e., people who will actively share how big of fans they are. It's just good business, because she's developing a lifetime customer base. Someone will need to attend the "final tours" she gives when she's 60, 70, 80. Also, Taylor Swift fandom is one of the most mainstream fandoms I can think of - there's little risk of a severe reputational risk for admitting it.
I don't really like CSS either, but I suspect that, like I did, OP has half-learned "enough CSS to be dangerous" from the era before flexbox and grid.

I think it's worth pointing out to someone with this knee-jerk reaction that, today, a subset of CSS exists that allows you to make layouts that look decent without going cuckoo bananas in the process. I still don't like it, but I don't hate it, either.
But how do you fix it on nvim? I.e ut should use the same lsp as vscode.
It really depends on how capital intensive something is, who has access to capital, and how much mobility employees have.

Since a competitive tech company depends on good software engineers, and since anyone can band together and raise VC money, you can't survive long if you're not a good boss. Access to capital is now restricted due to the recession but there's still a need for software talent so they have options.

The only exception is people on H1B visas who have to hold on to the job until they find another (or get deported) and hence have to tolerate a bad boss. You see this happening in Twitter with all the recent resignations.
I'm not sure if more are really joining — a lot of people are gathering to watch to car crash, though. It's notable how much commentary on twitter is about twitter right now.
I guess kinda. Googling HN has about 300k daily active users, Twitter about 250m so 800x approx.
You make me assumption that I’m trying to disabuse you of taking your medication. I’m not. I don’t care, take it if you want. But by not being open to other methods of treatment, you aredisabusing people of that choice.

You go on and on about how you don’t think it would work, but have you ever had your B6 level tested never mind your red blood cell B6 levels?

I get it, you don’t care, you found a treatment that works, even though that treatment is not curing the underlying disorder. It’s just a treatment. I get it it works, until it doesn’t. I’ve been working with people with new disorders for 25 years and I’ve seen it over and over again.

So I’m not asking you to stop taking anything I’m asking you to keep an open mind which you seem to not be able to do. That’s OK.
Most of the ALIX boards use something called TinyBIOS[1][2]. Browsing through the source tree from the pcengines site, it doesn't seem to share any relation with this project here.

The current APU boards use Coreboot[3]

Strategy 101: An introduction to power
I'm confident that this is not secretly a way to find the high performers, because it's just jerking people around. You enable the high performers by trusting them and giving them latitude, not by repeatedly, publicly demanding that they say "how high?" every time you yell "jump!"

"Get here in 3 hours or you're fired" is just trying to humiliate people, it's not even pretending to be a technical challenge.
Thanks for the tip but I can’t make it work. In the iOS app, I tap their profile photo to get a profile screen that looks a lot like Twitter. If I click on Following or Followers, it says “followers from other servers are not displayed.” Is there a different profile page I have to find my way to? I don’t see any way to from the app.
Nothing has fundamentally changed but it has always mutated in very weird ways and still is.

I've been on Twitter off and on since fall 2007. In the early 'fail whale' days they had a live stream that didn't move ridiculously fast(when it wasn't broken) of all tweets.

It became a huge 'surveillance capitalism' data mining product that has had some issues around free speech and political bias meddling by the company and obviously the big media companies. The platform is plagued by bots and trolls, automated attack agents that are presumably programmed to append derogatory comments to tweets by unknown actors.

Now the mysterious Musk is reorging the platform, maybe to emulate the 'WeChat' 'everything app' Chinese approach. Who knows...if it's free you are the product...
Also genuine question, why do you need to be informed about the world?
Can carmakers catch up with Tesla and pull off the shift to software?
I'm curious what is being enforced, from your perspective.

I'm familiar with the social conservatives who believe that what the US gov't is doing with regards to marriage amounts to an infringement on their rights. Not sure if that's the argument you are trying to make here.
He's perceived as a traitor to the tribe, which is an unforgiveable offense. But he's not actually a member of any tribe.
