A vast, overwhelming majority of programmers will never implement a concrete string type or compiler optimizations.

> I support free speech but I’m against dishonesty and calling someone’s employer to fire them because you disagree with them.

Do you not see any contradiction in this sentence?

Dishonest speech is still speech. If you support free speech, you support the ability for people to lie because often whether a person is lying or not is not black and white.

If a company employs someone who makes objectionable statements, how is it not free speech to call up that company and threaten a boycott unless they are fired? Boycotts are one of the more fundamental examples of free speech. How can you be against them but for free speech unless you have a very narrow definition of what speech qualifies as being worthy of protection?
What alternatives check off the following boxes?

That's what made AirDrop sharing so powerful for protestors. They all already had it, having it is not suspicious, and using it doesn't rely on government internet filters allowing it.

This post reads as an attempt to appease Twitter advertisers similar to Elon Musk's letter about abuse on Twitter before he officially took over, except it comes after Elon publically threatened advertisers and disparaged their largest one (Apple).

Yeah, this is bonkers. At one time I thought the collective HN BS detector was calibrated a bit better, but the willingness to accept this tweet at face value is troublesome. This is similar to the debacle recently where Apple was supposedly scanning for QR codes and opening canary URLs clandestinely, which turned out to be simple user error.

I'm flagging this submission, I encourage everybody to do the same. A tweet suggesting that "some users report" some ambiguous behavior is not news. Perhaps some corroboration will emerge and this tweet will eventually be proven correct, but the onus of proof should always be on those who are making the exceptional claims.
It sounds like you are running into the same problem that I did, which is that I wanted a structure to fill out with info. Don't do that. IMO, it's the hardest possible way to go about writing anything non-trivial.

Start writing in the middle of some random section in the middle of whatever you're trying to write. Jump around to different parts of the work if you get stuck. Edit it together at the end. You do not have to write from beginning to end in the same way that you don't sit down and write code from top to bottom.

If you really need a prompt, resist the urge to create a hierarchy of headers to just fill out. Writing is not just filling out a form. Try brainstorming a list of questions that your writing needs to answer. This has the added benefit of being able to divide up the work: you just give other people specific questions to answer. Let them organize the writing how it makes the most sense.
This doesn’t actually tell us anything though. In this view buying grapes at the market is a political act.
Without rebasing, tools for managing PRs might show the merged mainline commits in the PR.

Some times they are described as such “merged master into feature” and can be avoided if you review the PR per commit. But more often I want to review the PR as a whole, and then the tool fails to show a good diff of what’s actually developed in the PR. This to me is a much larger problem than the log pollution, which can be solved by squashing.

Other than that (missing the bigger reason for rebase and focusing on a lesser argument in my opinion) I quite agree with the article.
The definition of this term is a bit broader, from the British dictionary:

> the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counter-accusation or raising a different issue.

Article criticizes company A, and then a different issue about a different company is raised as a way to somehow minimize the original company A offense.

It’s basically saying, “if you think Huawei is bad, what about Apple?”
It's possible to have teams that save millions of dollars a year and not be worth it to keep them.

For the sake of argument, let's say a statistics team has 5 people.

Cost of Employee at FB, including insurance, office space, 401K match, salary, bonuses = 250K/year (probably very conservative).

Cost of Data and Software Infrastructure to support them (including people to respond to Infrastructure support tickets), let's just be very conservative = 100K/year.

Cost of People Management overhead to support them. Includes salary of at least one manager, not to mention the time of a program manager, project manager, product manager, or whomever else. Let's just say 500K/year.

Total = 1.85 Million/Year.

Let's say this team of 5 people comes up models that save the company $4M a year. I once had a VP tell me that to justify a Data Scientist on the team, they needed to have a savings of 10X what they cost the company to have that person on staff. I know this logic and math seems very weak and hazy. Mapping costs is a strange thing. But this is how some decision makers think, and this is how people get cut.
My reading of the article is that they are referring to self-identified 'neo-nazis' not 'everyone'.
Locally they completely redid the computer systems of the DMV a few years back… And botched it. Everything started taking twice as long and you wouldn’t get a new license for weeks or months after you went in.

This is the best idea I’ve heard all week.
that's interestingly enough not something I'm interested in (formally deriving things and doing "proper" maths as part of my software work). I care much more about developing new intuitions, and seeing the category theoretical definition of monoid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoid_(category_theory) inspired me a lot.

In fact I think that one of the great things about software is that you can not care about being very formal, and you can just bruteforce your way through a lot of things. DO your database calls really compose? or can pgbouncer throw some nonsense in there? Well maybe it breaks the abstraction, but we can just not care and put in a cloudformation alert in there and move on.

Many times have I seen a green developer throw up their hands at a rebase attempt, after which we learn they were doing this:

git checkout master; git pull

git checkout -b fb

git commit

git commit

# new changes arrive on master branch

git checkout master; git pull;

git checkout fb; git merge master

git commit

# "went to the git brownbag and heard about rebase for the first time,

# missing that part up front about not intermingling merges with rebases

# and not having a good mental model of git

git rebase master

# WTF conflict everywhere! rebase sucks
Every answer I saw to that points out to God not being as loving and holy as portrayed.

The whole premise of "God decided to show Satan (why God thinks he need to prove anything to Satan in the first place?) his point by tormenting some mortal is... sadistic at best ?". And doesn't really touch topic of "why someone is allowed to be tortured by disease from birth and dies due to no action of their own will".

Apologies for the jargon, but there isn't room in a comment box for a detailed explanation.

"The Essence of the Iterator Pattern"[0] posed an open problem in type theory as to whether or not "lawful traversals", of type `∀ F:Applicative. (X -> F X) -> (B -> F B)` could appear for anything other than what is called a "finitary container"[1], B := ∃S. X^(P S) where the (P S) is a natural number (or equivalently a polynomial functor B := ∃n. C_n * X^n). Or rather, there was an open question as to what laws are needed so that "lawful traversals" would imply that B is a finitary container.

Eventually I came up with a fairly long proof[2] that the original laws proposed in "The Essence of the Iterator Pattern" were in fact adequate to ensure that B is a finitary container. Mauro Jaskelioff[3] rewrote my proof in the language of category theory to be few lines long: use Yoneda lemma twice and a few other manipulations.

Anyhow, the upshot of reframing this as a simple argument in Category Theory meant that, with the help of James Deikun, I was able go generalize the argument to other types of containers. In particular we were able to device a new kind of "optic"[6] for "Naperian containers" (also known as a representable functors) which are of the form B:=P->X (aka containers with a fixed shape).

Since then people have been able to come up with a whole host of classes of containers, optics for those classes, representations for those optics, and a complete characterization of operations available for those classes of containers, and how to make different container classes transparently composable with each other[4].

For example, we know that finitary containers are characterized by their traversal function (i.e the essence of the iterator pattern). Naperian containers are characterized by their zip function. Unary containers are characterized by a pair of getter and setter functions, something implicitly understood by many programmers. And so on.

I don't know if all this means that people should learn category theory. In fact, I really only know the basics, and I can almost but not quite follow "Doubles for Monoidal Categories"[5]. But now-a-days I have an "optical" view of the containers in, and forming, my data structures, slotting them into various named classes of containers and then knowing exactly what operations are available and how to compose them.

Everyday me used to know how to do that until my kids entered school and I had to get up to get them there. Which is troubling as the science always tells that school should start later in the day. If not for the sake of the children, think about the parents!
"I will be a health(ier) weight, if I continue to put the effort in. And who knows?" Fit and normal people don’t put any effort. As long as you’ll see this as an effort/reward thing you will fail. My advice : focus on eating normally every day. 3 meals / day. Don’t focus on long term goals.
Agreed, nothing of substance here, appears to be damage control for the paid verification rollout.

Note that we are talking about the growth medium here, which is used to grow the stem cells into the final product. So it should be the quality—or much rather the quantity—of the extracted serum from the animal (specifically the animal’s fetus or womb).

Always a big fan of Eric's blog so its sad to hear this story.

I feel like MBAs need to do a better job at learning about selective truths. Far too many snap decisions made based on seeing the tip of a dataset in some corporate spreadsheet and assuming clarity in the data. In this case seeing the cost of this team and not seeing the saving its was generating for other teams.

Or maybe it was just political as Zuckerburg slid the hatchet away from the Metaverse and onto things of (arguably) greater value.

Fwiw, I believe there is a significant correlation between ADHD and sleep disorders (at least, that's what my psychiatrist told me when discussing my sleep problems during an ADHD checkup appointment recently - but I haven't researched this independently), so it's not necessarily one or the other.

> one can be content or satisfied for prolonged periods of time

This is suspect. I couldn't imagine that any contentment or satisfaction that I experience now would last without additional activity to maintain it. The passage of time while doing nothing (or having no affect) is a clear way I can imagine leading to dissatisfaction.

This has been known for a few weeks. SBF said on the record with Vox (post-collapse) that "FTX didn't have a bank account" for three years so they just had people transfer money to Alameda. That's the origin of the "hidden, poorly labeled '@fiat' account".
I think this is an insightful assessment. Not everyone in a company can be top line. But I also think there's a lot more opportunity in using statistics/ml/data science in the top line than most companies practice.
> How much effort does it take to set up, though?

Practically none. And any designer is prone to reuse the same spacings from project to project. So you bring the language file with you. Something like this :

:root {
--spacing-sm: 1rem;
--spacing-md: 2rem;
--size-tall: 32px;
...
}

And you can do some pretty nice things with these pure CSS tokens. Without any hassle or dependency.
It’s mathematics and computer science, not biology. Nobody is claiming that a setup requiring 2^1500000 units of space to run is anywhere near a realistic simulation of biological processes :)

Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic example of how simple rules can give rise to complex systems.
This is really impressive. There's no video on how the "Logic" editor works. Have you thought about linking something like QuickJS and allowing actual code?

If one could write generic code, and if the properties of the inked objects were exposed to the runtime (i.e. corner points, stroke/fill colors, rotation, etc.) your app would be really close in functionality to the linked project.
Apple Ad Spend on Twitter: $48M in Q1

>I agree with free speech and oppose censorship, but I also promote tolerance of those we disagree with

Does this mean you would support legislation to outlaw hate speech? After all that works against tolerance of others and is often used "to smear and destroy someones life and silence dissent from your position" "for what many believe to be innocuous or good faith beliefs."
I don't think anyone's claimed that was the case.

But if the lowest bidder has some kind of penalty to pay if average queueing time goes over 15 minutes or random members of the public rate the service provided below 3/5 stars, then they'll do a much better job.

A lot of the stuff in trading firms is proprietary and pretty secretive like trading strategies, how their systems achieve some level of latency, if they have FPGA/HW teams then what are their capabilities like.

When an employee resigns to go to another trading firm, to ensure that they don't leave right away and use the secret sauce at their new firm, they put that employee on a non-compete or a garden leave. Basically, for a period of time, could be as little as 2-3 months to 2 years, that employee can either sit at home or go work in an industry that is not trading but for that duration they cannot work in the same industry. The logic is that strategies and systems change pretty frequently, so in that time whatever knowledge that employee has, becomes outdated.

If they decide to sit at home, to make it lucrative, most firms will pay their base salary for that period, or some percentage of total comp (base+bonus). Since the employee is getting paid to do nothing, almost nobody in trading has any issues with non-competes.

While this is pretty awesome, it is a pain in the butt for a visa holder making such a transition. Technically, to remain in status a visa worker has to also be performing the duties on their petition, so even if they get paid during non-compete it can lead for them to leave the US. Since this is not as simple to enforce and not rigorously checked, their previous employer does not revoke their petition till they start at their new firm. Since the workers petition is still active with USCIS, they're getting paid and have benefits still active, it just appears that the employee is still working.
> Almost all the APIs accept '/'

Except the APIs you need to use to avoid the 260-character MAX_PATH limit (without depending on both an obscure group policy setting and a setting on the application manifest, and keep in mind that curl is also a library so it cannot control the application manifest). AFAIK, the "\\?\" trick to extend the limit to 32767 characters requires both absolute paths and the use of a backslash (\) as the path separator.
also given that it's Wasm GC performance/characteristics aren't grate so it's best suited for non GC language (for now, it's changing, also JIT doesn't work grate either as it's designed for AOT, through interpreted languages can work just fine and for such limitations wrt. how you can write GCs might be less of an problem).
To add some context to this, I met a woman a few years back who worked in marketing for Kingsford Charcoal.
