>> Someone else said HTML-only websites are "ugly as hell." I disagree. They're beautiful.

Well, we can always agree to disagree.

I started learning HTML in 2001 (or 2000) and typically plain HTML websites at that time were boring, so there were some ways to enhance it, e.g Flash.

I took a different route: DHTML, and then website development felt more fun. Perhaps the point is to use CSS/JSS libraries/frameworks sparingly.
It may come as a surprise to you, but I don't even lock my front door.

If the dog is inside the house, you can't hear his barks from outside of our property, by the way. Neighbour only heard him because he was right next to the house.

Easier solution: don't be an asshole neighbour.

Not sure why you want to regulate what I do with my house and dog, which isn't harming or annoying anyone, while completely missing the point -- the neighbour shouldn't be there.

And he certainly shouldn't have called the police for something that he caused.
There is an easy counter model. The universe is _literally_ a real number machine, i.e. even a particular point is only describable to us in the approximate. The laws of physics get to be finite, but you can't talk about a particular location or place in time without infinite information, or you talk about it in the approximate.
Just in case you missed it, Mojolicious is also available for TypeScript now, and the developer experience is pretty close to the Perl original. ;) https://mojojs.org
I thought about it more, and you are correct that Reddit enables private subreddits. My circle of friends on the Internet have one - but we've stopped using it. For me, a problem was that Reddit itself became polluted by influencers, so I avoid it (the whole site) as much as possible now. Since Discord hasn't had that problem, it was an easy, pleasant move to make.
Technically its the Fediverse, not just Mastodon. But, your point still stands 100% that there exists mechanisms in place already to achieve what this new thing is proposing to do.

Of course, to each their own; if Mr. Bardin has the time/resources, i guess good luck to him. Though, I do wish smart folks like he and others would help move forward the existing protocols like ActivityPub, or participate in efforts like Spritely Institute (https://spritely.institute/). I'm convinced optimizing decentralization mechanisms helps us all (and, no, i'm not referring to "crypto" when i use the term "decentralization" here).
I've had the same thought re: iOS/macOS clients. Oh how I would love to dive into those small codebases and add some simple QOL stuff. I've been watching but they don't seem to be adding any Apple-platforms focused roles/people, which is fine, but I wanna work at Tailscale…
My Italian grand-grand parents lived a long life, often filled with hard work for the time they live in. I probably share a lot of their genetical structure. It seems logical to me that I should disregard "good and bad food" clickbait studies and eat and drink the same way they ate.

Are you seriously suggesting that making people believe that you're running the company to the ground is a good way to build publicity?

It's true that good publicity comes from amazing turnarounds. Final Fantasy XIV is a good example, since FFXIV 1.0 was widely regarded as terrible and 2.0 was lauded for somehow miraculously turning the company's fortunes around.

But the big difference there is that it was a new management that did it. You don't get points for completely ruining your company's best-known product (to the point where some believe it to be the company's only product).

The reason people are "using" Twitter now is to watch a trainwreck. Most people by now probably have a backup plan.
About land of freedom, in some states its illegal to collect rainwater that falls on your house. Thats because there is is 'freedom' to sell water rights. (if I have that correct). So freedom is also unfreedom.

That is something of a mindfuck for the rest of the world.
Do not care.

Maybe we have different definitions of bacon but isn't it heavily "processed"? Its cured with nitrates and salt/sugar and smoked.
To be fair, later can be very later. On the order of decades even.

And maybe it just winds up with a dedicated niche audience. Never fully mainstream, but never out of the current culture either. It's hard to predict what people will like in the future. The best we can do is just do things we like.
Espionage is covert by definition, and is already illegal. Spies break foreign laws as a part of their job description, and yet, they still exist.

This is because nearly 100% of nutritional education effort is directed at children, which is stupid because children eat what their parents cook. Anyways, that has left a gaping hole for lifestyle blogs to fill with their pseudo-science.

When I was getting my Nutrition degree, I was involved in building a community website to help single fathers learn to cook for their kids. When we applied for the funding, we were one of three applications in the adult education section, versus hundreds in the child education category.

There is Czech sci-fi book series called "Legie", it's about aliens conquering planet Earth.
And making minced meat from humans, too bad it's not in English. Because it reminded me what these animals must feel like.

Also there're people which acts like sorters, they decide which human goes to meat factory and which to mines and then to meat factory :D.
This has been happening to me a lot since Elon bought twitter.

Not sure what has changed specifically. I guess they shut down a bunch of their servers to save money before everyone quit?
Sure, 'meat' itself is fine, it's the nitrosamine used to cure it, that's the bad part. Anyway, my old boss was a cancer researcher and he always said if you do these three things you have basically done everything to avoid getting cancer:
- excercise a little every day
- don't smoke
- avoid red meat
I think it's easier described as a dismissal of the other as unimportant. I don't know that I would give it the moniker forgiveness, but it absolutely means you've moved on.

For example, an idea I live by is giving enough trust such that if the other person breaks that trust you've gained more than you've lost. A trite example would be letting a co-worker borrow $20. If they never pay you back you've gained more value from that than the $20 loss. Or if you have cleaners come into your home, if they steal that $5 sitting on the desk then you've gained much more you've lost.

From personal experience, through a bad set of circumstances, I once had a cat I loved very much scared up into a tree that hung over the privacy fence over the neighbors yard, who had a large dog. Long story short, the neighber was up in the tree, removed the cat, it fell into his yard, and the dog killed it. I wasn't there at the time since said neighbor was supposed to come and get me when he was ready (he had a friend who trimmed trees for a living supposed to come over). When I came over, he had the dog chained up in a corner so I could safely walk into the yard.

I was extremely sad over the cat, I spent over $2k in emergency surgery trying to save her. My gf to this day can't talk about her without crying and it's been years.

But I never got angry with the neighbor. Was it on purpose or just sheer stupidity? I honestly don't care, I can engage in an impotent rage or completely dismiss them as unimportant. I chose the latter. I was able to live next to that same neighbor for 3-4 more years, although we never had any other interactions.

quite frankly, they're not important enough for me to expend the energy on them.
And a lot harder to inspire the kind of mission-based drive for Twitter as for mars colonies or electric cars

Exchanges if run properly do not have the function of "the house".

You dont play against them and the odds are in their favor you instead play against everyone else on the same exchange and there are no odds against anyone.

The exchange gets a fee for the service it provides so it does in fact always win but by providing a service people are willing to pay for and not by favorable odds.

Also you dont need to use a centralized exchange, DEX exists too.
Like if research was by and large conducted out of any kind of business considerations and agenda. We're getting these contradictory signals for the same reason that it was supposedly debated in the 90s that humans had an impact on the climate or in the 70s that smoking was cancerous.

Elon Musk is a clown and it would be very entertaining to watch him lose $44B as Twitter crashes and burns, like slipping on a banana peel.

...but, honestly, the idea of a large social network not reliant on advertising is interesting and I want to see it work out. I don't know much about this Noam Bardin person, but considering Waze is just another bottomless pit of data collection, my hopes aren't very high that this will be anything notable beyond having a unique page layout. I don't see a reason to use it over one of the many Mastodon instances.

Maybe Twitter's problems are due to the traditional business model, and shifting towards paid accounts might change that. Or, it might make them 10x worse. Idk, but it's certainly the most interesting thing happening in social media right now.
So stuff like precious metals, commodities (energy, corn, pork, ...), stocks that don't pay dividends, etc are then also equally worthless?

The original experimentalist (Michelson) gave perhaps the best lay mans description in terms of an analogy with a swimmer crossing a fast moving river. Long story short, an interferometer detects the difference between two swimmers in their apparent distance swam (number of strokes they had to make), even though the physical distance traversed was the same for both. In this analogy the swimmers are individual photons of light and the "number of strokes" actually means the peaks / troughs of a given wave of light. Basically, a beam of light is split and then meets up again. If the length of the two paths are different, the peaks and troughs of the light wave will have drifted out of sync when they meet back up, and that will cause the interference pattern of the light wave interfering with itself to shift in proportion to the amount of drift. "Phase" is just the word scientists have settled on to describe this offset effect. Amplitude, wavelength and phase together give a complete description of any wave (light or otherwise). Hope that takes the mystery out of this "intrinsic physical property".

Everything you wrote was accurate. I am merely expanding on the gaps.
This was the print era. The honest stories were buried or delayed. This is what you’re referencing/

“ Some of The Times's coverage in the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq was credulous; much of it was inappropriately italicized by lavish front-page display and heavy-breathing headlines; and several fine articles by David Johnston, James Risen and others that provided perspective or challenged information in the faulty stories were played as quietly as a lullaby. Especially notable among these was Risen's ''C.I.A. Aides Feel Pressure in Preparing Iraqi Reports,'' which was completed several days before the invasion and unaccountably held for a week. It didn't appear until three days after the war's start, and even then was interred on Page B10.‘

Nowadays you can link any story but back then position mattered enormously.

Timing too. A key report after the war matters much less
How does it work today? Did we just get rid of the ramps and that makes it easier to herd the sheep?
The BBC and Xinhua are nothing at all alike.
I’m fed up with “platforms”. Growing a garden on someone else’s land is dumb and I think more people are starting to get it. Why feed someone’s enterprise for free who will then turn it into a powerful walled garden, make billions in profit while eventually dictating what you can and can’t do on said platform.

To top it off, there’s very little upside to you as a user. Your own data is used against you.

At this point anyone who willingly joins a new VC funded social media monstrosity is just a masochist.

Small decentralized communities which users can freely and easily create and manage is the way to go!
It is relevant because if something has a use, there is a basis for the value. If something is only valuable because people believe it to be valuable, then you must maintain that belief in order to maintain that value. For instance a used stamp that is rare is valuable to collectors even though it has no use, but aside from a few collectors there is no market for that stamp. The problem with a huge market filled by people buying due to speculation is that as soon as something spooks the market it tanks and the value doesn't hold, because people don't actually want the thing they are holding, they just want to be able to sell it to someone else. This is why the crypto scene is very cultish -- it is all built on maintaining the belief, and the utility is secondary.
Thanks for the tips. It seems like a good idea then to consider a specific book and go about gathering others from there, so that everyone has the same expectations of content.
A pail is a bucket. So maybe a container reference?
It's hilarious that people have convinced themselves that Elon Musk is low IQ. The coping is outrageous
Shh, don't give them any ideas!
Great stuff! How do you measure frontend performance? Do you have any production metrics?
The terms of traditional media are monthly paid subscription and ads in the paid subscription.
I remember as a child (in the late nineties?) reading something about a new ferry transit or some kind of new transportation where a cup of coffee cost ¥300? I have never been to Japan so my math is JPY 100 = USD 1 so three dollars for a coffee which sounds expensive, right?

It is one of the weird things that get stuck in my head for no reason. No idea why I was reading random local news from Japan.
I mean you're not wrong; a lot of tech companies have money to burn and nowhere to put it other than hiring more people and doing more engineering work and bets that may or may not end up anywhere. The meme goes that most are in optimizing advertisements and gathering / collating data, anyway.

So while I don't disagree with Twitter downsizing - as the other tech companies have been doing recently - I don't think it was wise to go at it so aggressively, having the effect that there's now a walkout of staff that Twitter absolutely needs to run.
"Some have speculated the sheep’s behaviour could be caused by a bacterial disease called Listeriosis – also known as “circling disease”."

Very weird.
There's some truth to the idea that it just creates lots of petty tyrants.

One of the biggest issues I see is the widespread use of non user overridable server blacklists. For a technology that is supposed to be about user control, allowing the sysadmin to control who you talk to or follow seems undesirable. While I can understand not wanting, say, porn, all over your global federated feed, not letting users choose to override that for their personal feed is creating a multiple netsplits.

I'm sure some will just say that since it's their server they can do what they want, but I'm talking about what is good for the system as a whole. Currently it feels like the only way to get access to the entire thing is to run your own server, which doesn't seem healthy.
For exactly the same reason that Dropbox was just "rsync with a shiny UI" and was very popular.

It's less about the UI and more that Tailscale takes care of setting up wireguard connections between every machine that needs them, along with the authentication and access control. All of which ends up with a simple network between your devices that doesn't have to worry about physical location and intervening network infrastructure.
Either that, or reality is inherently quantum and the entropy of an evolving unitary wave function (well, the entropy of any given amplitude) basically goes to infinity.
> Unless you audit every app's source code and sign its binaries

Isn't that called "an app store"? Good luck getting non-signed binaries on an iPhone.

My point is that if TikTok is somehow able to escape its sandbox and perform surveillance, that's a fault in the sandbox, and there should be a general process for handling this otherwise you just have to deal with the next week's app "TokTik".
How complete is it?
That's not training. That's being thrown in the lake to learn how to swim.

Now you're measuring how many people drowned, and you're saying "let's enforce that everyone use a flotation device, and there will be fewer deaths".

Sure, but there will also be fewer actual swimmers.

To make this more concrete, you can't look at something in aggregate and say "well, we are having this one type of issue, let's just throw everything away and start over".

Yes we must do something, I just don't think that Rust is the best answer. Maybe have an actual safety training. The language is hard. Write a compiler for it, study the spec, simplify the spec, upgrade the language, etc.
Not really activism, rather ecology/bioterrorism as this will have a disastrous impact on the ecosystem.

Minks eat frogs, fish, crayfish, mice, voles, muskrats, shrew, moles, freshwater mussels, turtles, snakes, birds, birdeggs, insects.. And with 10k released on the spot, well it's not hard to figure out what will happen.

Minks also have 6-10 babies per year.
slams !

maybe butchers
Yes. Everything that isn't raw is processed. If processed isn't what you mean by "processed," maybe you should say what you mean, e.g., smoking, adding sulfites, nitrates, sodium, and/or sugar.
I just wish there was a way to buy meat from animals that hadn’t been systematically tortured for their short life until they were drowned in co2 for easy butchering… the only reason why I try to use as much vegetarian replacement products is because I have moral qualms eating meat from sentient creatures that have been so brutally abused…

And even diary is hard to consume after seeing cows from a bio farm getting herded for milking. They’re in serious pain while getting continuously impregnated to maximise milk production… it’s really hard to stomach for me as I’m not morally opposed to milk/meat consumption… but the way these creatures are treated really make it hard.

> Go interfaces generally belong in the package that consumes values of the interface type, not a package that implements the interface type. The implementing package should return concrete (usually pointer or struct) types.

I like this rule. Most companies violate it everywhere. There are good times to ignore it but I always push for

func NewThing

To return something other than the interface type. The last Go interview I was in I brought this up and the argument was that you cant test things if you are not returning the interface and I disagree entirely.

I love the power of duck typing with interfaces but give me concrete things that quack.

Steve Jobs had good taste and a healthy respect for the work of the engineers who he took credit from.

Musk thinks (or at least nerds to project) he's the smartest engineer at his companies.
Job was a proud dropout from his liberal arts degree. Musk got an econ debgree but has been lying his whole life about getting a Physics degree and being admitted to grad school.
> The problem is if the law of 1 country is not amended then you have fragmentation. What does apple do?

The Planet is a big place, the idea that could even produce one product for the entire world would be crazy for most of human history.
The problem is really just him.

Had he hired an adult and done all of those changes with some thought instead of what he did I doubt anyone would have batted an eye.

It does seem like they were heavy with staff but that reduction could have been thoughtfully and with more tact. At the point that you fired half of the staff and then the next day started asking those some people back speaks volume to the chaos HE is causing and probably killed motivation/morale of the staff left.

Publicly firing someone on twitter for disagreeing with you is also just wrong. He just purchased the company and the amount of arrogance and gall to think you know more than someone who had been working on it for years is just staggering... misguided... hubris. There are really not enough words to say bad the optics appear.

He absolutely should have talked to that person privately and said look do not attack me in public. Now tell me why I am wrong. But that would require some humility and humanity, which HE seems short of.

Then that grade school letter that HE sent at midnight. Do you love me? Do you want to stay and work in super hard core mode? Again it is hard to fathom how stupid of a move that was.

Engineering is needed and is core to keeping the place running and moving forward but that alone is not enough. He needs real product people who understand the product. HE clearly does not.

All of it is fixable but HE needs out of it day to day. Immediately.

Get/keep your core staff you need to keep things running. Step out of the visible light and let and adult run the company. Get some good product people and brainstorm and vet ideas for making it better in private. Then execute.
