Vertigo comic books, in my experience, are a lot less guilty of this than Marvel, or even the classic DC variant. But then, Vertigo is specifically geared toward adults.

Kids will, if left to their own devices, watch the same movie over and over again (my VHS copy of Land Before Time just about wore out by the time I was 6). Producers realize this, so they just reshuffle the same story over and over again and sell it to them, over, and over, and over again. Adults tend not to be quite so easy to amuse.
I tried to do the vim on iPad over mosh thing. It was cool, but rarely worked well enough for anything more than a simple tinker-pad. I got it working on airplane wifi which itself was amusing but as far as getting anything done (even leisure-coding) it was total disappointment and frustration.

There are many things I like about it the iPad, particularly the focused modality of single-screen apps (split screen was also too finicky and cramped to be useful). It felt very productive. But make no mistake if you're reading this, an iPad is no substitute for a laptop. Don't waste 1000 bucks like I did to figure that out.
My first instinct was: Is it being shattered in the eyes of normal people though?

But I think you may be right. 200 MM users is not enough to truly matter I suppose, but who _really_ cares about Twitter? Journalists. They're spreading this stuff that's going on in a bubble they're in way beyond it.
This is a good idea, I just started the project :) So this is a feature that can be added in the future.

Here is the roadmap for the future:
- Audio sharing
- Convert Text To Audio
- Convert PDF To Audio
- Convert Photo To Audio
- Chrome extension - to convert while browsing
- Mobile App - to manage audios everywhere, simply

and adding the possibility to do the opposite is also a great idea!
I worked IT at a Gannett-owned newspaper. Reporting negative news about Gannett was one of the reporters’ joys.
This article reminded me about current changes related to EU's Unified Patent Court (UPC), discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33630823.

JUVE Patent website presents comments from UPC on the subject: https://www.juve-patent.com/news-and-stories/people-and-busi...

Edit: fixed the second link attribution to JUVE Patent, and removed speculation regarding trivialization of the issue by UPC.
I was about to say when I saw the end of your comment, that looks very much like the AliExpress experience. You get cheap stuff, but you gamble on them being a fake.

It's a bit like that scene in Citizen Kane where he pens a scathing review of his wife's singing because he realizes that everybody knows and any further pretense will only humiliate him further.
Yeah, while twitter does have European business entities e.g. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c... , I'm not sure what happens if the subsidiary goes bust or gets shut down before you've finished suing it. Probably have to take the case to Delaware.
There are established digital invoicing standards. For example, in Switzerland eBill; in Germany ZUGFeRD and more recently XRechnung. These have been around for 20 years.
I agree. The README file presents it like an alternative to `requestIdleCallback`, while, in fact, it is a convenience wrapper around `requestIdleCallback`. It is a nice idea, but the description makes it confusing.
There's a huge difference between you choosing to spend the resources you earned on whatever you want, and resources other people earned. It is the later part, that calls for questioning.
A few that come to mind immediately:

1. Books by VI Arnold. To get a sense of his style, see https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.TP/~munsteg/arnold.html

2. Visual Complex Analysis by Tristan Needham is an absolute treat in visual intution.

3. The road to reality by Roger Penrose. This is an absolute masterpiece building up to cutting edge physics and all the necessary math from scratch. Reading the whole thing is probably a long-term project for most readers, but it can easily be read in chunks, and is an absolutely pleasurable experience (with most of the conceptual substance of a textbook, but without the dry rigor) and a fascinating taste of what/how Penrose sees.

4. From Mathematics to Generic Programming by Alex Stepanov. I've read only small bits from Stepanov, but I'm really looking forward to reading the whole book.
> The law will prohibit Environmental Conservation Law permits from being issued for two years to proof-of-work cryptocurrency mining operations that are operated through electric generating facilities that use a carbon-based fuel.

Not really clear at what point your mining approaches an "operation" which requires a permit, but perhaps that's spelled out in some other law somewhere.

I love the two year time limit. I'd love for it to be constitutionally mandated that all laws have to have a time limit of no more than five years or so. If the time passes and the law isn't renewed, into the incinerator that law goes.
Worth way more. In theory if you’re writing product software, you helped build a money generation machine for the company that can run forever.
This is anecdata, but the SoundRaw-generated audio I use on about 50% of my YouTube videos generates significantly more adverse comments than the stock audio on the remainder.
This is what happens when you have a guy from the parks division at Disney suddenly responsible for the whole company. How Bob Iger was even allowed back after making the decision to appoint a successor from the parks division speaks to just how panicked they all are right now.
If you are brave enough to look at YT comments the practice is alive and well if you look down enough, where you see someone complaining about the video actor being Jewish and somehow the comment isn't banned.
> Unlimited greed is what eventually sinks a company. We saw it with AltaVista in the '90's (when the search results were all ads) and Google is slowly repeating this opening a space for a competitor to jump into.

I'm not sure this is a helpful characterization. Greed is also what helped the same companies get where they were before they went to shit.

The problem is that you can only grow so far in a market before the only way to keep the appearance of growth is to make your product worse, either by producing it cheaper (like Toblerone) or by monetizing it harder (e.g. ads in paid video subscriptions).
What you say is as true of people as it is of companies. Do you think making money is all there is to life?
I think "vanilla" is perfect term for it. Most of the software is just vanilla compile + whatever it is needed to play nicely with rest of the system.

Most defaults are sensible and close to what app itself provides, again with exceptions to play nicely with rest of the system.

Most packages also come with bunch of recommended ones that extend functionality which means a bit extra space used, but just

APT::Install-Recommends "0";

fixes that (I'd recommend that for servers but not for desktops unless you're seriously space constrained).

And most important thing is that upgrade works. I installed my desktop in ~2008 and just upgraded across the ages, the install older than every single component in my machine.

> There are many custom scripts to wrap around systemd so you can still use old style commands.

That's just not breaking old stuff, minimal doesn't really need to mean "just breaks your old scripts that worked fine up until now".

And it's kinda required for transitionary period, some packages still use /etc/init.d/* to start for example and AFAIK Debian still haven't said "systemd is the only way forward" which means many packages provide both /etc/init.d/* for SysV boot and /lib/systemd/system/* for Systemd boot.

> and stuff like apt-xapian-index will just gobble up all your CPU if you are on a slow system

How is tool that's not even in standard install relevant to anything?
This is for site performance and not for general OS performance.
Restructuring and refocusing firm sized of Twitter should take weeks if not months. Not saying that it wasn't needed, but the approach taken seem just insane.

Then again, part of reason behind this might be that now he is playing with something he paid with it own money and lot of it. Not a "toy" project of couple million or dozen million.
Why is it called 88 stacks?
I think Musk's mistake was to openly embrace conservative opinions and fringe conspiracy theories (his since deleted tweet about Paul Pelosi for instance). I already know of people in more liberal circles that would never buy one of his cars, just like they don't buy "my pillows" or go to Hobby Lobby. It's a big target demographic for EVs and doesn't bode too well for Tesla in the current political climate.
Those built-ins that you are talking about are not as well rounded as a dedicated framework. These built-ins operate at a different operating model than running additional background servers. This typically means that everyone in the org needs to be an Elixir/Erlang expert instead of having experts in Redis, cloud native, ... For better or worse, this is likely a large obstacle for many orgs.

The argument for using Elixir/Erlang is also more difficult when you have large companies like Github and Shopify demonstrating that Ruby can scale.

EDIT:

Let's not forget that it's mostly the DB that slows CRUD apps down. Not the language or the framework.
Honestly I wouldn’t put it past Musk to call the Pinkertons. They’re still around after all.
I am in the same boat as you. I would hate to know that I spent thousands to help enshrine this petty guy's fortune and lower the bar for tech worker treatment.
I recently liquidated all my Tesla positions. I also plan to sell my Tesla next year. Was originally planning on a new Tesla but I have ruled them out completely too. The company has gone from being my favorite to the one I dislike the most in the span of a year.
The constitution only allows native-born citizens to become president. If we get to the point where people are amending the constitution to change things like that, then we'll have bigger things to worry about.
I hope the author of OSMAnd makes enough money from the play store to finance continued development, because the application is amazing, it has an interface that is not dumbed down, it does not phone home to the mother ship, it gives you great tracks, in short it is a great tool that respects the end user.

I wish more applications were like it, first thing I install on my phone.
Same experience from my days in Ubuntu world, it sure is relatively easy for a first time linux user but I had so many issues on it that were completely obscure. I had the feeling of fighting against the system itself all the time.

With arch, sometimes it breaks (not that often), it always is quite clear what went wrong (pacman errors are limpid, logs are clear). You'll find the fix on the Arch Linux News, in the wiki or the forums. Bonus you probably know your system better and as a side effect be more efficient in fixing it.
Isn't the board of directors legally responsible for obtaining the best financial result for shareholders? If someone makes an above-market-value offer for the company, I doubt they can just say "no" without severe consequences and lawsuits.

On top of that, GOP members of congress were threatening an investigation if they turned down the offer: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/22/republicans-demand-twitter-b...
Also note that the Firefox Relay feature doesn't support custom domains, it supports custom subdomains only, it has some misleading documentation around this topic.
You seem to have updated the wording to "has been backdoored by a malicious actor". Isn't that more speculation, with the tentativeness removed? What facts incline you to believe it was a malicious actor, and not the maintainer?
> A lot of people think that photography disconnects the viewer from the world, imagining for instance the person holding their phone at a concert, but I think often it’s the opposite. Practicing photography compels you to ponder what is meaningful and beautiful in your surroundings.

Err there is a being an aimless recorder and "practicing" photography, it's a spectrum and depending on which side you are it can very well disconnect you from the event.

Amazon will also do something where certain drugs will be the top of searches for other drugs or sometimes for example drugs for cats will show up even if you search "for dogs" so if you aren't paying complete attention you might not realize your mistake.

Yeah, I've been weaning myself off Amazon for a while. Now if I'm shopping for something my general approach is to a) look for neutral reviews (e.g. Wirecutter and Consumer Reports), b) see if I can buy it from whoever makes it, and c) search on shopping.google.com to look for reasonable prices from some other vendor.

This is undeniably a little more work that just searching on Amazon and buying the first option. But it's about the same amount of work as using Amazon properly (skipping the sponsored listings, filtering out the dubious non-Amazon sellers, figuring out which reviews are fake, trying to tell whether the nominal maker is a real company versus some weird algorithm cloner or re-reseller, worrying over whether Amazon's inventory-mixing means I'll get a fake, etc).

I still end up buying some things from Amazon, but it's fewer and fewer, and I'm usually happier with the total outcome now.
Nice! The german version breaks Umlauts though. Apparently the preprocessing converts e.g. "ä" to "ae", "ö" to "oe" and so on and the text2voice model subsequently pronounces them as e.g. "a-e", instead of what "ä" would actually sound.
A bit of remote browser crypto mining?
> Ultimately if the air is smokey

You seem to be conflating "looks smokey" with particulate matter, which I suspect is generally reasonable but perhaps not in all contexts. Water vapor can cause the air to look "smokey." If you go outside an a 5º day and exhale, does your exhaled breath contain more particulate matter than if you did so on a 50º day?
I heard the FSD code was a chaotic disaster too. I think numerous inexperienced programmers find fault with other people’s code and sometimes those criticisms are valid, but more often there is a huge amount of context the person sitting in their ivory tower is unaware of.

Doing things like this with kindness and wisdom would be better than swinging the axe with incomplete information. Especially H1Bs who are reliant on an employer to remain in the country are hopefully exempt from such extreme punishment and are at least given a shot at doing what Musk wants in terms of code quality.

From my point of view there’s no need to treat people as disposable commodities who cannot improve given the right environment. And I don’t like anyone thinking their opinions are that much better than anyone else’s, but these are the times we live in…
for mozilla neither,
for mullvad probably good, i think many trust the mozilla brand more than mullvad

mullvad is an average vpn provider

also its important to note, that many question that VPNs provide any security at all , i think for 7 dollars you pay their email relay and phone masking seem like the more interesting feature and value

Million is not much, at very reasonable 2% or 3% it would be 30000 a year. Or just burning it straight up 50000 in 20 years. That is actually not that much money these days.

5 or 10 million starts to look lot more reasonable limit.

I quit Amazon one year ago and this also made my buying habits healthier. No more impulse buying. Eveything's connected.
Beside his prolific crypto bro arc and attempts at effective altruism, he did very little during his tenure as CEO and let the company stagnate during it's most lucrative years. On top of that, his moderation double-standards were as bad as Musk and he even went on to admit that Twitter in it's current incarnation is a mistake. He did a good job of building a company from nothing, but struggled to turn it into anything profitable.
Wow, this a great site, thanks for the links!
I had pretty constant issues with Ubuntu every time I've tried it as well.

I run pure Debian stable everywhere I can in my personal life (laptops, desktops, servers). It's predictable and there's not a lot of planning at update OR upgrade time. Backup, push the button, reboot, done.

Just kidding, backups happen daily automatically, so it's just update and reboot.
On iOS, I have mine configured to show the altitude in the top right corner of the map view. The settings are admittedly confusing but if you just poke around in the map display settings you should find it!
I recently had to buy something mundane - a light bulb, with a specific lumen and color temperature spec. Weeding out all the junk listings, ads and clearly fake reviews, I ended up spending an hour trying to get to the one I wanted to buy.

Had a very similar experience for another product as well.

At this point, I hesitate to look up stuff on Amazon just considering the time it takes to find stuff. I much rather prefer a curated list of products so someone else has done the weeding out.

It seems like Amazon’s philosophy of having the widest set of options for every product is actually not that useful in practice, at least for me.

The only reason I still keep going back is that they deliver many products on the same day to the neighborhood I live in.

Whatever the default search engine currently is, don't change it. Moz earns a kickback every time you use it.

It's probably still Google and I generally encourage people to get weaned off the Google product teat as much as possible, but that search engine integration is how Moz makes most of their money from what I understand.
If only I had a use case.

I boot it up on exotic and obsolete architectures, as they still do builds for eg. PPC64 (Apple Mac G5).

The white framebuffer is kind of beautiful.
Surely the goal is to reduce deaths whenever possible, as opposed to keeping the rate stable. Workers not dying in traffic accidents good. Them also not dying on the job would be even better.

The idea is that you schedule low priority work to happen with requestIdleCallback (which this is just a wrapper around), so it doesn't impact as much higher-priority tasks like responding to input or animations.

For example, you may schedule periodic API polling (and JSON response parsing) using this API to prioritise user input handling.

I would guess (but not know!) that the browser could de-prioritise these tasks even further when the browser decides to (such as when in the background).

For general audiences, Manjaro (arch base) fits your ask pretty well, I think. I ran into problems installing arch, switched to Manjaro, and never looked back.

There are always people working in these companies that are trying to get a good product to a customer. These are slowly replaced or overruled by A/B testers who want to maximize profit. I think that process shifts the company from actually doing a service, to greed.
If I were to guess what's going on, it is that Elon Musk is seeing losses and not profits.

He now owns a significant chunk of the firm (not quite 100%, there were some other buyers, etc. but close enough). So now every $1 expensed by the loss-making company, he sees as a dollar he personally loses - and that's after overpaying through the nose for the company (he got hit by a double-whammy: Twitter value crashed along with other Tech stocks, and he had to sell more Tesla stock to cover the over-inflated valuation).

This is quite different from the perspective of a, say, 5% owner. For every dollar spent by the firm, that's only a $0.05 "spend" out of the minority stake owner. It's easier to justify such expenses to yourself, emotionally.

Basically, the more of your personal wealth is locked into an enterprise, the more risk-averse you become about it. If you have a diversified portfolio of small stakes, you're more likely to be bullish on them individually and encourage investment for high-risk / high-reward profile, but not if you basically have one massive bet.

So I'm guessing, he's thinking he not only overpaid for Twitter, he is now paying through the nose just to keep the office open, and he's not clear what it's all for. So without an idea for profits, he is desperate to cut the losses.

Obviously the human cost - collateral damage to Musk - is tremendous and it makes me so sad to see people's livelihoods shattered on a whim like this.
Well I think the association with very online right wing trolls is affecting his perception amongst normal people. But cannot say for sure
