Read Marcuse's "Repressive Tolerance" to see why this is the case:

https://www.marcuse.org/herbert/publications/1960s/1965-repr...

The tl;dr is that if you actually want to move toward a society of free and equal human beings and eliminate oppression, "free speech for all" is not how you go about it. One side of the political spectrum supports equality and emancipation, the other is opposed to it. Therefore the speech of one side must be tolerated and supported; the speech of the other must be squelched and restricted.

The internet has had its time to experiment with free speech for all, and now we have Nazis. Social media companies saw greater value in muzzling the Nazis than they did in hewing to outdated libertarian internet values.
I've made a couple of Vassal modules over the years, but of existing games, but yes, I could see it being useful for playtesting.
Awesome to see this on HN! Founder/Author here. I'll be happy to answer questions.

Even if they really did this motivated by avoiding spam, the fact that dissidents were (not just hypothetically) using it to organize is literally a reason to leave it.

But rolling it out to China first is pretty damn suspicious of what their "true" motives were too.

For me the only close friends I have kept through my 20's and many life-changing events are ones I made in high school, and mostly because of Discord. Being able to virtually hang out has made it possible for me to maintain relationships after a move which I wouldn't have been able to keep up before.
> It is very efficient form the POV of $/calorie.

It's probably only efficient because farms don't have to cover the cost of their methane+CO2 emissions and water usage+pollution. I'd like to see these subsidies eliminated.
is there currently a way to remove floating watermarks with ffmpeg?
I don't know if a third-party app might be able to duplicate this functionality, but even if so the problem is third party apps can be banned, and can be seen on phones by authorities and used as a reason for suspicion. People have to be bold enough to install it to receive messages too.
>Only 1 of the BlockFi founders (Flori) has an ivy league degree (from Cornell). Zac is a moron who made his wealth playing poker and through a scam loans startup (Zibby).

It's much, much harder to make millions at the poker table than it is to get a degree from an Ivy.

There have been 141 people that have made over a million in 2022 from poker (https://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/ranking/7339/2) and that doesn't count all of their losses, staking, etc.

The eight Ivies collectively graduate roughly 75,000 people a year.
In principle, yes. I can definitely relate to this:

have a hard time visualising their life as a continuous thread from the better day, the current pain and struggles, and a more wholesome future. Their lives have lost a sense of time and instead it tends to become circular, where days, past and future blur into a fog

In context of the projects I'm working on and the goals I have. My problem is, I have a hard time talking about incremental progress. I can talk to my IRL friends if I have something really meaningful to report, even if most of them won't understand what I'm talking about. But many days my "progress" reduces to "read 40 pages of this book on digital sampling of waveforms that I'm reading, and wrote some sample code to read audio off a microphone and save it as a WAV file." This feels to trivial to even talk to anybody about, even though it may be fairly meaningful to me (where the long-term goal(s) here involve speech recognition, AI, etc.).

Not sure how to deal with that aspect, although talking to a group of people who are more or less strangers may actually be easier at times. Kinda like the way there may be some things you'd find it easier to talk about with a random stranger at a bar, than an IRL friend or family member, or whatever.

Anyway, if somebody stands up a Discord instance or something, I'm game to join in and give it a try.

Wait. What happened to all the middle class chumps who got tempted by "influencers" and reassured by rich people saying "I'm in!" in your model?

This model of yours suggests that rich people played with fire and rich people got burned.

Is that what is happening? That doesn't seem to be a complete model.
Yeah constinit seems poorly named. Yes it's "constantly initialized", but the result isn't actually "const", it's still mutable! Which is a great property to have as an option (and indeed a big differentiater vs. constexpr), but it seems like `staticinit` or something would have been more clear that it's very unrelated to `const`

I'm glad I switched to Rust.

In C/C++, the language designers can't take anything out. That would break things. There's so much legacy code.

C hasn't even totally removed "strcat", etc. yet. That should have been removed in the previous century.
Sure, I'm not suggesting we install unmodified ubuntu or windows 7 on phones either. Similarly, win8 on a desktop...
Definitely not just him. It's also very subjective they took Parler off in 2021 but didn't do anything to Discord which has huge child abuse and extremist problems. Apple seems to only act when it's politically expedient for them.
I haven’t ever seen a crypto lender stay solvent.

Unless:

A) The money never leaves the platform such as with collateralized margin lending for shorting / leveraging.

B) The money is collateralized such as on DeFi with AAVE.

BTCJam gave small, well-diversified loans based on credit scores, reputations, business ideas, and identity verifications. They iterated and tried almost everything but they couldn’t get enough money that left the platform to ever return to the platform.

Scamming the banks seemed to be way more profitable and lucrative than using borrowed money for economic activities more productive than the borrowed interest costs.

>No, I was replying to a comment that was attempting to justify ~7000 as a reasonable figure for what Twitter’s app needs to do.

Let's look at the comment you were replying to:

>If you view Twitter as a 'service for posting 140 characters', they don't need 7000 employees.

>If you view it as a 'service for supporting five billion dollars worth of ad spend across the entire world', with all the proprietary software, ads front-ends, ads back-ends and reporting services, weird one-off partner integrations, ads account management, sales, advertiser support, moderation and compliance, legal compliance... Well, all that quickly adds up to a lot of headcount.

You characterize this comment as justifying ~7000 as a reasonable figure "for what Twitter's app needs to do." The comment makes an important distinction between what you might need to run the most essential aspects of a thing that allows Twitter-like social media interactions to occur versus an enterprise that leverages those social media interactions as one part of a larger system. It says outright that you wouldn't likely need 7k just for the essential "let people make tweets" aspect.

TBH you appear to be the one with comprehension issues in this thread.
It's criminal how much a person can be charged for end of life care: I'd much rather have a single-payer system.
How about it’s something that arises from the 2nd or later exposure to covid independent of vaccination status? Countries state that some amazing percentage of their populations have had covid and pretty much everybody is ignoring it…

Might also have something to do with the difficulty of getting non covid access to health care, the disruption of people’s lives due to covid or even the huge reduction in exercise due to covid and wfh. Or even boomers and others taking early out and discovering psychological issues with giving up their career.

Or it’s anti-vax.

I think you're right, now that I think about it again.
Twitter staff missed one paycheck and they get overdrawn and have to call their mortgage company?

Completely aside from any commentary on the behavior of Twitter management, please please everyone have your finances together with an emergency fund.

Take a hard look at lifestyle creep and be brutal. Especially when layoffs are expected for months!!

Yes unfortunate events could have drained emergency funds already for those mentioned in the article. Giving them that benefit of doubt, take it to mean one should either have more than one initially thinks or be beyond totally confident in one’s expected needs.
I mean, to be real here, it's continuing the principles of being run for a very long time by a world class, top tier, grade A asshole. Steve Jobs was well known for screaming at people and throwing fits of rage and such. Petulantly demanding that he get his way as the only possible method something could be done.

Does anyone seriously think that Jobs cared even the slightest about the Foxconn/Hon Hai Precision Industry factory workers? Or anything else other than the bottom line?

Hundreds of such anecodotes from hundreds of people. What do you expect from the corporate culture established by such a person?
They seem to be good at undoing mistakes in the next version five years later. The newly introduced issue in 11 was said to be taskbar grouping, idk I haven't used it myself (yet :( ).
The parent poster, as an outsider, only makes informed, but speculative guesses about Twitter's business footprint, as does ~anyone who does not have T9 vision of the firm.

I am not going to tell you that their right size is 3500, or 1500, or 7000, or 14000, because I don't know what it is. But I will say that it's very likely to be measured in the thousands. [1]

[1] Although you can always try to shrink the business... A Twitter that doesn't work, and has no revenue could probably be ran by ~0 employees.

I think my new arm-based Macbook is pretty awesome in all aspects but the notch is almost as stupid as the old touchbar. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't caused more criticism.

As a "pro" i don't need a freaking menu bar, i access stuff via hotkeys or look them up. I need that extra space for doing actual pro work, but now i have a big fat line of dead pixels at the top of my screen if i don't wan't permanent menus creating visual noise.

If i could somehow use the space for tabs, or for some other actually useful elements..

Goats work. Where I am in Georgia (US) there's a local service where they bring temporary fencing and some goats and plop them in your property to chow down. Once you decide they're done, they pull them out. The operators have expert knowledge of local ordinances and permits and whatnot. They make good money and the goats have other economic uses. The only thing is you can't really tell the goats what to eat and not eat... so you may have to get creative with the fencing, which costs more.

Fun fact about goats: you know that 'goaty' taste of goat cheese and goat milk? That's from coagulated proteins - if the producer is gentle with handling the milk, avoiding agitation, and you consume it right away, you can make cheese and milk without that noticeable taste. This is really meaningful for small scale goatery because you can avoid the use of big heavy expensive dairy cows.

Industrial manufacturers are also figuring out ways to stop the coagulation while being able to agitate the fluid. (Convenient if you want to pipe it anywhere)

Yes, these are great additions. Reconciliation is a doozy, and there are so many reconciliation points - payments, usage data, supplier invoices.

And the odd mix of radioactive elements caused their sun to start oscillating in intensity destroying every planet that previously held life in their solar system... One of the great filters.

Fun speculation aside, I would love to see this as the target of a gravitational telescope.

If that oscillation is stable it would be an interesting periodic driver of evolution. Like so many species on earth have evolved through optimization of day/night/tidal/seasonal periodic effects.
Maybe try it before jumping to conclusions? In that specific case a lazy container is slower because the views are visible at all times so non-lazy views can render immediately without any boundary checks.

Such a cool article. There's a similar movie about finding Microbiome deep in the Amazon Rainforest. It's called The Last Tepui, Alex Honnold leads a team to go climbing and look for wildlife and bacteria on the ridge of a mountain deep in the rainforest. Crazy hiking and climbing! But they find some really amazing species.

I agree - currently a lot of farmers have essentially unlimited water rights, and they should pay the true price of water.

Everything was books. There weren't very many of the computers anyway.

I'm aware. My guess is, it mostly flies under the radar because this is not happening in Europe or the USA but for how long? What happens when Italy&Hungary starts demanding modifications to protect their citizens against godlessness, abortion, sex out of wedlock, political organisations against them or whatever agenda the far right has?

You might say its the same about the "woke culture censorship" but it is not, in the case of the trends that are in mission to design society those people don't shame people out of society or they don't boycott - they physically target people. Many people lost their lives since 2016(The year of Brexit&Trump).
While others addressed different parts already, I just wanted to mention that the IBM (well, any Corp) marketing data should be treated like it's written to be technically/legally correct but stretched as positive as possible.

> "ninety percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on the IBM Mainframe"

This doesn't say they own them. It's also very vague given they know the exact number.

> "eighty percent of the worlds corporate data resides or originates on the mainframe."

This doesn't say it's the primary store, or is that by volume or dataset count, or what constitutes "data". It doesn't say where the chain ends either. If the user record is created on a mainframe, did everything related to the user originate on the mainframe?

Take it with appropriate amount of salt.
Great post! I was especially impressed to hear about the 80% of plug-in code being auto-generated through the SDK.

The problem is that the alternative (Google) is worse.

> Yes, yes, yes, you can use it in random places. It's not only some JSON parsing library, you'll find it in other libraries too. I suspect the most use it gets in many situations is - drum roll - implementing memmove/strchr/strcmp style things. And in absolutely zero of those cases will it have been done by the compiler auto-vectorizing it.
I don't use TTS because it is physics based... which makes it awkward.

That said... having it be "physics based" means that you don't need as much game rules implemented in computer logic compared to human logic.

Consider the code for writing tic tac toe without a physics model. You've got valid position checks, win condition checks and so on. It's not bad (its tic tac toe), but its something that needs to be written by someone.

In a physics based tic tac toe, you've got X and O and a # board. If someone plays a wrong move you say "dude, you can't do that." When you win, you say "tic tac toe, three in a row, I win."

This allows a physics based model to implement a lot of game logic in meat space rather than in game code which in turn means that it can be made available more rapidly and doesn't need a programmer to convert game rules into business logic into code.

> Most professional divers will be using a Surface Marker Buoy which indicates where they are underwater and where the boat should be looking to pick them up.

These are generally deployed only during the safety stop, not for the entirety of the dive for obvious reasons-- handling up to 120ft of line underwater for the length of a dive would be near impossible. They would be pretty useless if you resurface and can't see the boat.

That said, you are right, something would have had to go pretty wrong to not see the boat. During a dive trip earlier this year my buddy and I resurfaced 1mi+ from where we were supposed to. But even then, we saw the boat, they saw us and our SMBs and it wasn't a huge deal other than getting the "pickup of shame".
The scale of hiring at FAANG companies is on another level. Google's summer intern class is probably much larger than the number of FTEs at my current job. They need to contact tens or hundreds of thousands of prospective candidates. I'm not shocked some people have an easier time getting interviews from FAANG companies.
Medieval scholars pontificated about how many angels could fit on the head of a pin and we get this.
It's difficult to defend Apple in this scenario but Apple's relationship with China is just like every other company's (western or otherwise) - at the end of the day, China holds all the cards. If you don't bow to their authoritarian edict, you are kicked out of the country.

The energy and anger should (as per usual) be directed at China and the Chinese communist party to a much greater degree than Apple.

I'm assuming, of course, that Apple was forced to make this update. Hard for me to believe they proactively made this freedom-violating, protest-suppressing change.
And this is why the rich stopped going to the club after the 70s and instead created their own private country clubs. Fun fact, contrary to popular opinion the majority of these clubs do not offer alcohol.
> IBM has a very different model for supporting developers than Microsoft does with MSDN.

Interesting comparison, because when I was teaching myself to code in the early 00s, that's how I perceived Microsoft.

MSDN was a paid subscription, and the tools you needed to write MS software were also paid.

Hence me ending up forming a career on open source software, and a generation of programmers who still turn their nose up at Microsoft languages.
You're joking right? He is so far up china's behind that he was offered Chinese citizenship which is almost impossible to get.

Everyone wants to drag nontermination into this, but in the OP's example, the compiler already had proof that a the conditional would never evaluate to true. What you can or can't prove in the bigger picture isn't so interesting when we already have the proof we need right now.

It's just that it used this proof to remove the conditional evaluation (and the branch) instead of warning the user that he was making a nonsensical if statement.

So to the question of "when can we hope to do it" the answer is, "not in all cases, sure, but certainly in this case".
I'm making that! https://bonfiretabletop.com
They should implement that in the U.S. too. Plenty of people are getting laughs sitting in public looking for phones to airdrop anything from dumb memes to straight up porn onto.
What criteria are being used to determine this is what we want?

People also want heroin and we use literal impact on society to curtail use. Freedom of reach is what we’re talking about limiting; right and left seem to both demand they have access to my beliefs, and leverage big corp as a tool to hide their political agenda to that effect as government social programs are accountable to public oversight.

I mean I’m pretty much convinced at this point human languages lack the nuance to make any conclusions of sound logic at this point except in contexts they came up in; Anglo social norms. The correctness of a colloquialism comes along with a command to use it in a certain emotional way.

We’re just engaged in spiraling emotional pettiness; how dare you offend thy sensibilities, good sir!
