Definitely experienced this as well playing music in public.

I also experienced a variation of it when I did karate. During sparring, once my sparring partners hit me for the first time, I was able to start focusing on sparring and not the fear of being struck.
Yes, I've noticed this too. your best bet is to search for something, like the few videos that come up, and then hope that the algorithm catches on. I'm still new to TikTok, but I wish there were easier ways to "collaborate" with the algorithm to try to get it to feed you topics you know you're interested in instead of being limited to the for you page.
You're very welcome, and thank you.

Any APT worthy of the name will be already moving.

Personally? I'd be really worried for folks checking Twitter from Ukraine. That's a whole lot of compromising data and I know who wants it
Flagging this... Inline with advertising on here for credit card skimmers.
In Swedens top 20 (Svensktoppen) the key change became a ridiculed trope. See, Sweden top 20 is for Swedish musichians only. The imported (American and British mostly) music had a separate list, "Tracks".

Neither of the lists was based on sales by the way, since the state media monopoly was supposedly non-commercial.

Anyway the Sweden top 20 stuff stayed dance-based (think jitterbug, not rave).
Somewhere someone started talking about the key change. Even non-musichians learned to hear and point out the key change (easy, almost always the last refrain). Sweden top 20 leaned in to it. More humor oriented songs now include the key change in the lyrics ("here comes the pull-up).
This comment says more about capitalism than it does about Musk, if everything depends so much on the whims of rich kids, and everyone else lives or dies by those whims, including the engineers who are forced to sell their dreams and their labor to said rich kids.
Some technical details about the project you may find interesting:

- They were hosted on Digital Ocean but received a (probably invalid) DMCA takedown and all their servers were shut down by DO

- In response they bought an IPv4 block and built an Anycast CDN so complaints go to Neocities instead of the hosting provider

- People sometimes host spam or phishing sites on the domain which can cause google to flag it as malicious[0]

- There's a geocities gallery by the same author kyle[1]

I interviewed kyle if you want to hear more about the project[2].

If the problem to solve is piping an emacs buffer to a Windows 95 text mode binary and replacing the buffer with the text output, the solution could be

1. Run Windows 95 in an emulator, maybe a webassembly one.

2. Generate the mouse clicks and keyboard events to run that program, probably in a full screen DOS window. It must be in the %PATH%

3. In the same way type in the buffer in the input of the program.

4. OCR the output.

5. Replace the content of the buffer.

I think it is feasible.

Step 1 is for example https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95

I wouldn't be surprised that steps 2 to 4 are already implemented in some form.

Step 5 should be trivial.
I'd love to learn what the bandwidth limits are.
If we learned something from Tumblr, no one. The value was in the community, and just building a replacement doesn't recreate it.

Twitter is full of employees with 5-10 years of experience sharing that they are leaving. There is no doubt many people with critical knowledge and skills that are not easily replaced are gone.
Those people can’t take a few hours to make a small project? They can just make one and take it to multiple interviewers

Zeiss isn’t small lol
I'm used to a lot of "Documents" being in the chat history on small projects. In practice it works perfectly fine, I can search. It's a bit scary though, if they disappear there could be a problem.

It's easy and frictionless to write, and I actually don't mind at all. I would be pretty much fine with a document system that started with a group chat like experience and added a bit more structure on top of that.

But really, more things could be self documenting. There doesn't need to be a document that says "This is the testing server and it is running this OS and has this IP", that kind of thing could probably be largely automated.

Code doesn't always need documentation, if you stop reinventing wheels and developing custom internal build tools. I don't need much documentation to run a Svelte project from github, the documentation is implicit in the fact you used an opinionated tool exactly as it was meant to be used.

It would be interesting to have a meeting, go over all recently used documentation, and figure out what it would take to automate it, and why it was needed.
A top reply [0] that Elon replied to:

As if you could just drive over to the Twitter HQ, grok how all the infrastructure works, and make/provide meaningful contributions/tweaks/upkeep.... tonight

That's either a level of delusion that I can't imagine and/or someone who has no idea what they are talking about. I also can't imagine carrying water for or "simp-ing" for a billionaire, especially one who treats people so terribly (this "work yourself to the bone or resign" ultimatum was one of the more disgusting things I've seen in tech, I'm appalled at the people defending it as some genius move).

Really I feel bad for the people who have no choice but to stay at Twitter, the H-1B's and the like. The brain drain is going to be (/already has been) massive and all that will be left are the people who have no choice, can't find a better/different job, or are true sycophants. None of that makes for a healthy work environment and isn't conducive to making good products.

IIRC, Musk explained it in a SSB-BPA joint meeting last year. They considered carbon-fiber, aluminum lithium alloy, and 301 steel. It was a fascinating discussion. The materials were great under low temperature, but had other issues as well as degraded performance under high temperature. For instance, carbon-fibers can leak gas (or react with the percolated fuel?). Starship eventually used 30X, a steel alloy.

These books are about time management, project management, culture, workspaces... and reasonably applicable to all domains - not just software development.

Death marches are often software projects, but I've seen some lawyers on a "death march" case where its dragging on and on.

The ideas of Slack are applicable to every job - though especially those of knowledge workers (the book is likely as good for building architects as it is for software developers). Similar things about productivity and desk space are also true for architects and software developers.

They're good books and interesting things to read... but they're not books about software development as software.
Yup. Records of inbound/outbound connections might be enough.
The author, by making this claim, lays bare the fact that they do not know about Eurovision.

Key changes are so common in Eurovision songs that it is mentioned in the ultimate Eurovision spoof song "Love Love Peace Peace", which also features at least one key change: https://youtu.be/Cv6tgnx6jTQ

The reports of the death of the key change, dare I say, are greatly exaggerated.
Wow! Thanks for sharing it, I cannot believe things like this could happen.

I think that Mastodon is only having a rush of excitement because it feels compelling since it's "decentralized", and I believe that the people who is moving to Mastodon is tired of the abuse that happens on all Social Meida platforms, but if it grows enough, the same problems with Twitter will emerge or even new and very difficult ones.

I don't know if Mastodon is really a solution for content moderation because content is just a reflection of the human psychology, and people will always use this and other platforms to do their best and their worst, so, I hope that at some point the good things overcome the bad ones and things like what happened to you will be a matter of our current times and not a pattern of what the Internet allows.
I don't entirely understand why people are debating this point. The taxpayer doesn't pay for what he needs, he pays for what the government does. There are endless benefits to space for the consumer, but even if there weren't he's still paying for them.

May he rest in peace. Like many here, I was first introduced to Dr. Fred Brooks through Mythical Man-Month, which has had a tremendous impact in shaping my views on software.

I mean, you can have a bad experience on alcohol, but I'm not sure its a useful comparison between doing dumb things blacked out on a CNS depressant or being a sad drunk to.... dissociating, thinking you are dead and literally everyone you ever cared about was a fleeting and imaginary while the panic circuits in your brain are cranked up to 11 for 8 hours

> The financing docs don’t costs hundreds of kilobucks, more like an outrageous 20K or so (with the investors’ lawyers’ bill coming out of proceeds — scandalous, as that’s what the 2% management fee is for!). An acquisition can cost a lot more.

One distinction I should have mentioned - the vast majority of my deals use LLCs to raise capital. That increases the number of points that need to be negotiated by probably two orders of magnitude compared to an investment in a Delaware corp. Way more efficient to rely on the corporate code, fiduciary duties and non-waivable duties of care than to re-invent virtually every component of economics, governance and control on every deal. Yet here I am…

But of course, another part of the reason the bill is so high is because we’re not just copying and pasting disparate provisions - we’re making sure the doc matches up with the commercial deal. But yeah, you could half-ass an LLC agreement in an afternoon, and it’d be good enough 90% of the time probably.
If the cpu is 45w, likely 1 hour or so because there are other components. I would expect even less than that.

Nextcloud on Hetzner has been great in my experience. Running for a few months now as a Dropbox replacement and very happy. Mobile app, mac app, it all seems to work exactly as expected.

Aluminum lithium alloy was about $40/kg, and carbon fibers about $130/kg, without considering the cost of insulation tile.
> I was considered traveling from San Francisco to Oregon or Colorado (?) where I think psychedelic mushrooms were legalized and you don't need to "know people" to get them.

Yes, Colorado just passed Prop 122. https://ballotpedia.org/Colorado_Proposition_122,_Decriminal...

But it's not "legalized" in the way that weed is "legalized". It's "legalized" in that it's no longer an offense to purchase/obtain/possess/use shrooms; but it's still a crime to sell shrooms (except for supervised mental health treatment), so you still need to "know people" to get them.
Even myspace is still around, unless someone replaces twitter there will always be someone else to buy it. Look at Yahoo!

Games have been AU$110 on release for current gen Xbox, while the in-store releases can be grabbed for $80-90 typically. Digital on-sale prices tends to track the physical normal/used prices too.

Never going on sale might be more of a Nintendo thing though, which is even worse. On the other hand, their cartridges at least let you play the game in whatever form it shipped - usually.

>I don't see what it is about the Twitter product that would require going "hardcore".

It's been more than twenty years since the dot-com bust and people still think that just because a company is on a website that makes it a tech company. Sure, Twitter's product is twitter.com the website, but most criticism of it and ideas for improvement don't revolve around the engineering aspects of keeping a website running: they revolve around 'product' features and sociological ideas on how to organize the community of users, what kind of content to allow/promote and what to censor.

Likewise, when people talk about the value they see in Twitter, nobody talks about the great distributed system that runs behind the scenes, because its only role is to provide users with the actual product: people go on Twitter to keep up with the news, see funny posts, feel connected with other people during major events or while watching a TV show. The tech is only relevant in that it allows this to happen. By that logic Walmart is a tech company because I can buy stuff on their website.

Thinking that by having engineers go "hardcore" you're automatically going to have a better product is like if a pizza delivery company decided to invest in better cars because people criticized their pizzas.

Sure, if you want to build new features fast you'll need software developers working hard, but much more importantly, you'll need people who understand the product and the users (in their various different communities and habits). That expertise is much harder to quantify and it seems clear that Musk deems it irrelevant, at least judging by the rollout of his most recent features and the utter failure of Twitter Blue
French historian Jacques Bainville, who I admire for providing amazingly accurate 20-year predictions [1], advocated that Napoleon had no choice but to invade Russia [2].

When the revolutionary politicians in France submitted to Napoleon, during his coup (1799) and his subsequent coronation as an emperor (1804), it was under the implicit premise that he would be the one who would be able to militarily keep Belgium, because the Revolution had seized Belgium but wasn't able to hold it.

So Napoleon's power was tied to keeping Belgium, although England would never allow any continental state to be that unbalancedly powerful.

Thus Napoleon has no choice but to subjugate England. To that end, as his fleet had been hit hard in Aboukir (1798) then smashed in Trafalgar (1805), he could not rely on an old-school invasion: thus he tried to subjugate all of Europe and cut commercial links with England to besiege the island at a continental scale. This was called the Blocus Continental, and it was bound to fail as long as Russia wouldn't participate. Thus the desperate attack in 1812.

---

[1] Les conséquences politiques de la paix_, (https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Cons%C3%A9quences_politi...) is a book in which Bainville predicts, in this exact order and in the year 1919, that Germany will annex the Sudeten, then Austria, then Poland, then attack western Europe, and that Italy will be their allies.

He managed the propulsion and combustion products department where he was responsible for liquid rocket engine development.[1] He worked as a lead engineer during the development of the TR-106, a 650,000 lbf (2,900 kN) thrust, throttled, cost-contained hydrogen engine designed in 2000.

If you feel the need to for personal attacks over a philosophical debate, where you consistently insist of understanding the other side wrong, then you might want to check your tools of communication. They are clearly not working optimal but granted, they might be the best, you have avaiable - but you still could improve them.

"Nothing is true, nothing is false."

No one ever claimed that in this debate, except you.
I'm more worried about cold path logs. Like, what if Twitter just randomly has the past year's worth of geolocation data on so-and-so, and it happens to be exposed in an SQL query, and that query happens to get run and the results exfiltrated.

It depends a lot on what Twitter keeps and for how long, but e.g. consider American soldiers being used to pinpoint nuclear silos, for example.

Imagine being able to map where every journalist is in the world. Now imagine being able to do that for every minute of every day for the past decade.

Objectively, this is an enormous geopolitical risk at just the wrong time, but I have no interest in panicking so aside from mentioning it here, I'm letting it be somebody else's problem
Sunlight exposure also stimulates nitric oxide production. This is well documented. It acts as a vasodilator, lowering blood pressure.

There are likely other benefits as well.
I’ve applied for $60k online chat support jobs and was asked how to check the if you could make a connection to a remote server (I said use ssh and was told the correct answer was telnet), and asked by an executive how much I experience I had as a freelance developer. I explained the crud app I was working on and where it could go and the reasoning why I used certain tools and that apparently wasn’t enough.

Great you had such easy questions for your 6 figure interview though.

If the politicians protect SBF to any extent, they signal to potential donors how useful a donation can be. Some of the rich will start donating or increasing their donations to get the same "get-out-of-jail-or-have-sentence-reduced" card.
