> He has a fanbase for his videos and clearly gets his needs as a human being (attention, validation, connection) met by posting those videos.

This statement scares me a little. That type of attention/validation/connection seems a mile wide and an inch deep. I hope it's not really where the creator gets his needs met, and that he has actual friends and family who provide that for him.

From what I've seen of celebrities, the life that feeds off the attention and adoration of fans is usually not a healthy one. If TikTok (like other Internet media platforms, only more effectively) democratizes that lifestyle as well as its mirror image - parasocial relationships between fans and creators - I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. It's actually the fraying of our social fabric - making us feel loosely connected with a larger set of people, but at the same time, deeply alone.

I guess I'm old now.
Is that a joke, stereotype, or a serious proposition? I've only ever been hunting trips that started so early in the morning that nobody drank anything other than coffee. Afterwards, sure. Maybe there's another way.
Why wouldn’t he have done a few weeks due diligence before making any changes? This seems like the worst way to do a management take-over.
Just a minor clarification, nobody is stealing. Rather they are infringing on the author’s copyright.

The distinction is important. Stealing is taking something from someone else. Infringing copyright is a legal construct.
The lawsuit from the previous management was to force Musk to go through with the sale when he tried to go back on the deal, they didn't make any attempt to stop the sale because they knew he was paying an absurd price.

I don't know that the board had much of a choice though, the best fiduciary sense for all current stockholders was to let him buy the company, what happens after that is of no concern to them. It's the perverse reality when a corporation only exists to make money for the shareholders.

> Next reviewable diff

Holy Fuck No.

90% of my PR review time goes into "Okay, how will this change impact parts of the system that this mid-level Dev doesn't understand yet?" and "Does this PR actually do what the ticket it is claiming to implement actually intended?"

Reviewing diffs in isolation completely removes one's ability to do that.

If you remove a person's ability to do that, what you've left them with is the easiest part of the PR, just checking that the logic seems logical. And honestly, most of that work can be automated by linting, style cops, and unit tests.

The fact that they got rid of the part of the PR review process that matters, and only saw a 1.5% improvement speaks to all sorts of problems in the process overall, not an improvement by this tool
Thank you, my bad. I thought I had read the guidelines but apparently missed that part. Apparently I can no longer change the title-- otherwise I would now-- but will to properly do so going forward.
I'm doing okay. You are right, it's a very vulnerable and almost inevitable feeling, like I've been shown who I "truly" am inside, something that I only accessed directly during that trip, but which exists below the surface all the time. Which obviously cycles heavily back into the anxious feelings.

I've never really put this experience in to words before, reading it back maybe it's time for me to try something other than waiting for it to burn itself out.
I am not sure why a cop pulling you over for driving erratically is any different in principle than a cop pulling you over for traveling at an unsafe speed (again, for the purposes of this example, imagine a truly unsafe speed, not 5 mph over).

Sure, they may need to regenerate the adsorbent after just one use. But the polymer survives. Even if the adsorbent retains most of its efficacy after one elution cycle, it could be more efficient to refresh it to maximize the material collected per trip. You seemed to have been under the impression that the entire polymer needed to be replaced when you talked about how it'd be more effective to burn the polymer: "at ~3g/kg the uranium only has about 10x as much energy as you'd get by burning the polymer or 5x in the current nuclear fleet"

For what it's worth I am confident that lithium ion battery production will continue to increase and double, triple, or even quadruple over the next century. But that will be barely enough just to satisfy EV demand for batteries. Even just provisioning 12 hours of grid storage worldwide would need 30,000 GWh at present electricity demand. That's close to a century of production at present rates. Doubling, tripling or even quadrupling production still means we'd need to dedicate several decades worth of battery production just to satisfy 12 hours of present electricity demand. Not to mention the fact that electricity demand is going to increase as more transport moves to EVs and as poorer countries develop. Not to mention the fact that these batteries need to be replaced after a few thousand cycles.

I'm confident about battery production doubling or tripling, it's the factor of 10 to 20 that I'm more skeptical of - and that's the kind of increase we'd need to make battery grid storage feasible.
Well then that brings me back to the other point. We could do this with far more suspected crimes. Just to be safe.

" Creating a starter project will get you hundreds of dependencies that you can never vet."

And it is possible to write clean vanilla js, or stick to limited frameworks. You have to maintain strict discipline though. And nowdays I would use typescript for a new project.

How dare they not show a ninja library like React with Redux + Redux Saga + Reselect sprinkled on top. You know - for state management and "full state debuggability". You gotta manage that state. I mean what else - display a simple page with plain JS? Just render html on the server?? That's crazy.

I find my interview anxiety is directly connected to how much sheer preparation I do. There is no substitute for this.

Spend several hours: scouring the internet for common AND uncommon interview questions. Draft strong responses to all of them. Map out your values and reasons why they are what they are. Specific professional qualities you exhibit PLUS multiple anecdotes explaining those qualities.

Then- research the damn company. Hard. Train yourself in their tone and the story they tell about themselves. WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR THEM?

Mostly importantly: Draft up thoughtful interview questions to ASK. Both general role questions and questions about the industry etc.

This takes time, and practice. But man, when you do it, you feel like a fucking boss going into an interview. And that unlocks the most important part. Mindset.

(For developers and other highly specialized roles, this isn’t exhaustive because you have steps to test your technical skills, but hopefully that helps. I gotten several jobs I’m under-qualified for by using this method)

Ayahuasca ceremonies are among the most profound, cherished experiences of my life. I prepare for months before partaking in them to make sure my emotional, physical, and spiritual health is in a good place. And I can't imagine taking this drug without being under the care of experienced guides. I also wouldn't recommend it for anyone except those who really desire to push the limits of their mind. Some trips have felt like mystical, blissful experiences. Others have felt like an eternity in hell. You never know what you're going to get and you have to be ready for it.

Another aspect of this for mental health is that it is possible to experience the common "machine elves" that people encounter. I am as skeptical as it gets but I'm really not sure if I've encountered beings from some other dimension or if my own mind is capable of the weird, sometimes horrifying, always profound shit that I've seen. The first Ayahuasca trip I went on I immediately had intense hallucinations of the feminine spirits. They put out their hands and invited me to walk with them. As we were walking down some kind of hall I reminded myself that these beings were easily a creation of my mind, that we do this kind of thing all the time in our sleep. As I was entertaining this thought one of them violently turned around and yelled "NO". The other being, in a sad voice I'll never forget, asked me why I felt the need to reduce and explain away the experience. I think about this often.

I think this is a strategic decision on TikTok’s part. It doesn’t want to be the place you go to view climbing content or whatever. It wants to be the place that keeps you up to date on everything, from your hobbies to random things that make you laugh, to your aspirations. Obviously some people will quit before it can figure them out like this, but eventually it gets pretty accurate

Note, though: I said translating things from an agglutinative language with very free word order into a more analytical one with restricted word order is torturous, not that you can't write good poetry in English. Merely that the translation itself is really, really hard because of the format differences.

Would you put your company's money into Twitter ad buys, knowing that Elon just let BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of market value evaporate for few $8 subs that will be canceled before they can be counted towards ARR?

Twitter is being starved by its owner(s) - we can't forget the % Saudi Arabia owns, etc. The brands that come forward to take advantage of the eyeballs looking at a traffic accident involve MyPillow™ caliber Capitalism.

Twitter is an accidental global square, a dial-tone for the Internet. Monetizing it to profit will murder it. There may be a whiz out there with the outside-the-box thinking to pull it off without destroying 3rd world knowledge access and the global idea of democracy - but Elon is nowhere near that cat (nor am I!).

Now he's gonna be out most of his funny money (and other narcissists cash too), unless he weaponizes and sells the data. Still loses most of that $, but Humanity can lose a lot more in that equation.

It seems like they didn't even consider any of the real issues. Things like deleted messages appearing in requests for your data, leaving a chat (or deleting your account while you are in a chat) with a deleted user not deleting the messages and uploads even though nobody is supposed to be able to re-join it, people getting banned for using scripts to mass-delete their own posts and in some cases getting banned for manually deleting their own posts "too fast", "right to be forgotten" requests being ignored, etc.
Maybe they pay their employees in RSUs and so need to keep some amount in reserve?
PDF is a subset of Postscript, which is a full-blown programming language disguised as a page description language.

People who think of the format as "adversarial" are wrong. Adobe never gave a shit about being adversarial in that sense.

The problem is that PDF is not a file format, it's a defined subset of a programming language (PostScript) used for portable rendering with fidelity. It's portable, in the sense that it should render the same way on whatever device it's rendered on (printed on a page or mastered to a display). And it's portable because it doesn't allow any postscript job-level commands, and it tries to ensure that each PDF File is standalone and can be concatenated together into a multi-page document or embedded in another document.

Postscript (and PDF) are also postfix, which can be confusing.

It was a fight between DiskPaper and PDF. PDF won because the tools were better and it was cross-platform.

The dollar holds value in tough economic times because it's the exit-channel for a lot of sketchier assets. You sell your quetzales and lempiras (or iffy stocks and bonds) when the market starts to tremble to get back to relatively reliable dollars.

When crypto implodes, what are people going to drop their shitcoins for? I could see a few possible answers:

* They'll accept BTC or Ether because it's what they can easily get to in a pure-crypto market. If there's enough turmoil, major fiat offramps may be overburdened.

* They'll pile onto stablecoins (likely because exchanges present it a default way out, and sure, they'll exchange for dollars some day) running the risk of triggering further contagion to stablecoins themselves.

* They'll take fiat at increasingly terrible exchange rates just to get out of the dumpster fire.

nushell and powershell use the concept of "output as typed data".
