>Have we considered ways to make bullies not want to bully? That seems way more productive to me.

It is entirely possible that the want to bully can be reduced but cannot be prevented. Of course people should do what they can to prevent it on the bully side, but it is reasonable to also consider other factors.
There are degrees.

Bringing a reasonably priced bottle of wine from a winery you like - nice and thoughtful.
Bringing a bottle of Opus One - you're overcompensating.
Sounds exactly the same as the US. The question is: how difficult are the exams and tests? In the US, the written exams are 80% irrelevant information that you pass by wrought memorization right before, and the driving test is trivial (parallel park, left turn, k-turn, right turn back to start).

At least that was my experience in New Jersey.
I've been using Plex with a server for my music on it for a while. I'd like to eventually switch to subsonic. Music has always been very personal for me -- I still have some sub-1000 youtube view songs I found as a 12 year old. So I've always known Spotify wouldn't be an answer for me. There's definitely a lot of unique and sometimes Spotify-exclusive content on the platform.

That being said.... nothing ever changes. Any cloud music platform has always been just another radio-- whether they brand themselves that way or not. For the year or so that I used spotify I did find some gems, but I would forget about them as quickly as I found them.

I think of my media library as something I have to put work into to have it be meaningful. Organizing it, deciding what you keep and what you toss out, what to pay for what to skip, all make it more important to you and more memorable. Having a library in itself is also of course a useful UX thing to remind yourself what you like and continue to go back to it.
It's a bit too easy to avoid all questions on the grounds that some people might be asking them in bad faith, though.
The software fad of the late 1970s was modular programming as seen in Ada or Modula-2. Intel supported that with its 286 and it was a key feature of the National 32016, so Motorola couldn't be left behind and added support in the 68020.

Except that by the time the 68020 came out Unix and C were king and C's dirty hack solution to modularity (#include .h files) was now considered good enough. Intel and National kept full backwards compatibility (to this day, in the case of Intel) but Motorola quietly dropped the stuff from the 68030.

He chose to work for Mark Zuckerberg. He wishes he could continue working for Mark Zuckerberg, in order to make Mark Zuckerberg richer. Perhaps you can understand why I don't have a lot of empathy.
20. I use xTab (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xtab/amddgdnlkmoha...) which automatically closes the oldest unpinned tab so the count never goes above a user-specified size.

This lets me jump back to recent tabs and I don't miss those that close on their own.

Note: if you use this and use a web-based meeting site like Google Meet, make sure you pin that so you don't get disconnected if you start browsing the web during a meeting.
I don't agree that folks who rebase multi-commit branches are "doing it wrong". Even if there are multiple stops along the way, that should not be considered a bad thing if it's understood what it is doing.

The way I look at it, lets say I have 10 commits. If I rebase main, commits 3, 4, 7, 10 have "conflicts" with the code that is on main now compared to when I started writing my feature branch and making commits. But, now, I have an opportunity to update code in each of those commits as if I was writing it based on what is now currently on main. If done like that, incrementally, it usually doesn't cascade into conflicts on each commit.

The problem, IMO, comes when at commit 3, the dev says "Oh, I did this like this in commit 10, so let me just put that solution here in commit 3 to resolve this merge conflict". Now, instead of 4 conflicts, you have conflicts on all of the commits between 3 and 10 (because the dev in effect moved the fix from 10 up 7 commits from where it originally was committed). Instead, each conflict resolution should aim to maintain the code as close to the committed code as possible while integrating the code from main. That way also, the feature branch commits still reflect the iterative process that having multiple commits is designed to show.

I don't embrace a FULL squash rebase, but I do embrace cleaning up your branch commits with an interactive cleanup rebase (not on main, just going through the commits for the branch and squashing any minor fixes that belong with the previous commit, etc.) THEN, once you have a clean feature branch, rebase main. The feature branch may now have, instead of the 10 commits above, eliminated 6 commits that were just things like minor test fixes, typos, etc, and now only has 4 commits total. Instead of 4 conflicting commits, it may now only have 1 or 2, making the rebase simpler as well. And the branch still maintains the traceable history of the development of that feature (assuming good commit messages were used, which is not something the original poster values either).
Kinda need one for the other if you want to distinguish different users vs just one user clicking a lot.

You need some kind of identifier to differentiate between different sessions, and the moment you generate that ID, using whatever way, you are tracking user.
I think we're are getting caught up on what's being tested.

In the context of what we're talking about, you can A/B test more than marketing, you're can test variables like UI/UX.

Yes clothes fall in and out of fashion, but changing the placement, color, size of the "add to cart" button isn't something that's going to be changing frequently.

Another example might be adding a "trending" tab the top navigation of a page or whether the "what's trending" vs "what you like" provide more engagement as the default page.

Youtube recently tested randomly lowering people's video resolution to see who changed it back to gauge the importance of the resolution to their customers.
Well, whatever the team was doing before, it seems like their effectiveness has increased quite a bit without the missing team members.

In the past, exploitation victims had to literally sue Twitter to take down explicit material, because a "review" could not "find a violation of [their] policies" [1].

Now "the three biggest hashtags used by child abusers selling child sexual abuse material on Twitter have virtually been eliminated" according to a human trafficking survivor advocate [2]. They have also made it easier for users to flag such content.

The article describes Ngo's claims as "misleading, factually incorrect". Which would be in keeping with literally everything Ngo has ever written.
nickphx just said, “complete historical picture of the planet's cycles over the millions of years?” And you said, “This question hasn’t actually been answered though.” Suddenly you bring up 20k years because what semantic misdirection?

I really don’t care about your complete and utter ignorance, but at least try and keep up with a few posts in this thread.

As to being defensive, the basic science for global warming is really straightforward. People pretending it’s debatable is like people debating relativity it’s really not in question. Predicting the impact is of course more complex but the underlying effect is both widespread and not particularly complicated. Absorption spectroscopy is incredibly easy to observe, measure, predict, and model.

Who gets to decide what is "hate speech"? This is generally broadened into anything spoken by someone I disagree with. Some folks don't understand hate != disagree. Just use the laws that have been around for decades: you can't incite violence, no child porn, no libel, etc...
I'm sure they've determined that communicating that sets the user's expectations. A funnier take is that it's advanced watermarking. Good luck getting that out of the pre-trained model!
I’ve used streaming services for almost a decade now and nothing has ever come close to Rdio.

I use YouTube Music today as its family plan is reasonably priced (although the price is increasing next year) and it includes YouTube Premium…but I have found with it (and every other service I’ve tried) that I have to use other tools for actual music discovery.

I tried Spotify for a while but the promotion of Podcasts caused me to speak with my $ and stop using it…plus its music discovery is no better than YTM.

I still use LastFM as my primary source for recommendations and it does okay.

But I will never forget how wonderful Rdio was to use…it felt (atleast to me) like a service for people who loved music and discovering new music
> Many would disagree in that science has existed for, at least, as long as recorded human history

Not sensibly. Or at least; let's avoid bogging down on the semantics. We started doing something quantifiable different recently, which has had a massive impact on our world. It is quite sensible to ask "what changed?" and try to understand it. If you want to give it a different name from "science", ok, but that's mostly likely to confuse people. If you want to claim such a shift didn't happen, you've got a hard row to hoe.
Why can't you have concurrency?

Thank god someone is. I’ve lost more of my life to consul partition failures that’s any other part of the nutech stack.
Are you building on arm64 natively or via qemu. A few mins vs 35 for the same roughish spec of CPU, seems a bit off, even with optimisation considerations.

I've found arm64 builds on amd64 take longer when using one build context/arch (but doing multiple platforms), but that's as it's being emulated.

It's the oppostite on my M1, the buildx amd64 takes longer.
Jacobin’s editorial philosophy focuses on conversational writing to make the articles more accessible. This is intentionally different from the didactic style of The Economist or what I’d call the philosophical ramblings of the NYT or Atlantic.

It isn’t trying to be a publication that sounds smart or pretends to be unbiased, but that is the expectation most people have from economic and political writing. That plus the obvious political position makes it unpopular, but I’d argue the quality is just as good as any other major publication.

I’d say it’s important to keep it in your mix because you’re just not going to find views or analysis from that perspective otherwise.
Elon Musk Says He Met with Apple’s Tim Cook
I'm not sure I understand the point of this article : in theory they don't depend on x86 only code, so they've switched to arm and it worked, as expected, and things are cheaper.

I'm happy that they've shrunk their bill, but I somehow expected some kind of 'unfortunately, things went wrong because of bizarre memory model issues causing difficult concurrency bugs'.

What am I missing?
> Except there isn't an agreed upon opinion, just a certain number of loud individuals trying to silence others

Again you are trying to make a strawman, claiming that it's just some minority and you are so brave for standing up to them.

It isn't. Open a dictionary and you'll find a number of words clearly defined as offensive.

Language isn't just an opinion of few people.

> I was saying that it's impossible to prove that something isn't offensive. Please take your time to actually understand posts you read before posting angry comments.

Spare us the BS.

Twitter was a second tier advertising destination before there was any inkling of a Musk deal, and advertisers started leaving before the deal closed when he was trying to get out of it. The biggest advertising firms in the world are advising their clients to leave.

Why would they come back? Musk is the Donald Trump of tech - plenty of devoted fans, but not someone brands want to associate themselves with. Even if he wanted to, it doesn't seem that Musk can stop impulsively tweeting controversial things.
Close, almost 14yrs. Launched Jan 2009. Bitcoin's economic design incentivizes saving rather than spending, so it's no big surprise that's what's happening. DeFi currently is all about using loans to make money speculating, so yeah, but it's still kinda new so jury's still out on whether it might develop into something more broadly useful.
A/B testing when it's like the color of something (did you know you can change the hacker news banner color?) doesn't bother me much, but when it's more invasive and I can't turn it off or switch teams, it starts to get annoying.

Especially when you're trying to help someone and they are seeing something different from what you see.
At $dayjob I found an unused box in the cloud running an expensive database engine. It was idle for months, created to be used by a consultant on a project that had wound up. The consultant had quit his consultancy on top of this.

I was told under no uncertain terms not to even think of touching this VM because “the budget has been approved”.

I was shocked at the flagrant waste of money and assumed it was a one-off aberration.

Nope, for months afterwards I kept hearing the same refrain from manager after manager, from product owners and dev team leads.

“Don’t touch! We fought hard for this budget! You’ll take it from our cold dead hands!”

Eventually I soured on the whole idea of cloud cost optimisation a service for unmotivated third parties and gave up on the whole notion.
> are overweight people expected to just wait until we can fix our entire food system?

If HFCS in everything is the problem, they will have to.

But there is no fixing going on (not in the sense of mending anything).
>Censorship does not imply government censorship.

...

>>being against cancellation is a form of censorship

>No. That would only be if GP advocated for it being illegal. GP is saying "don't do that" not "this should be illegal"

How are those two comments not in direct conflict with each other? If censorship is not a legal matter, GP arguing that people shouldn't cancel people is a form of censorship even if they don't argue for legal repercussions.
This, basically. And for probably 80% of issues, a maintainer might actually read the notification, but to click through, leave some sort of intelligent / honest reply, and either click close or reply and move on takes infinitely more time (when you're dealing with 100+ new issues and PRs a day) than not responding and moving to the next one.

A non-response does signal one thing—the maintainer doesn't seem interested enough to touch the issue. Fork the project or maintain a patch separately if you need to, and move on.
I do this as well, here's a couple:

Advent(2) – The System Call Advent Calendar
There's a term for this: Victim Blaming.

It's one thing to not be so sensitive when it comes to jokes or teasing, but this requires a maturity that a child does not yet have.

A feel as though a lot of people that say those things haven't been victims of bullying, or maybe, at least, not the a certain extent that others were (I know I'm treading very close to a No True Scotsman with that statement).

I was bullied when I was a child and it was BAD. I can't really express how EVIL the bullies were. Like something out of a horror film.

Edit: I'm a little confused by the replies - I re-read my comment to see if anything was ambiguous. I'm saying that bulling is way worse than people think. Maybe it was unclear that I am agreeing with the comment I was replying to, not opposing it?
He has a right attitude. Top management is clearly failing at the job of being respectful and reasonable manager for him, so he should fire that management. And let them fail.
At one point Brita distributed a spring-driven mechanical ratchet counter that would sit on top of the filter cartridge; it had some sort of diaphragm arrangement that would sense the water level and "tick" once per refill cycle and tell you when it was time to swap in a new filter.
The same reason half the internet falls over when AWS us-east1 does: single points of failure suck. And this is a level of resiliency you automatically get by virtue of being on a public blockchain being used for other things.

You can still put it on a Linux box this is more like you enter in a support contract with GitLab and they setup the SaaS for you and the cloud infrastructure instead of being intermingled with their other multi tenant systems.

What this is trying to solve for is companies that can’t buy their other offerings which they said are enterprise companies and or heavily regulated .
My brother laser printers have a setting on the web interface for what to do when the "replace toner" warning comes up: either continue printing or stop. They'll happily keep printing if configured to "continue".
> Well it is good thing for you all major platforms have the ablity to block, mute, or otherwise curate your experience, including sharing "block lists" and other innovations so your personal experience is what you make it to be

Why would i choose a platform where i have to moderate thousands of individuals? Ie what's the purpose in that lol?

Where is this world where we went from having Forums of communities to global cesspools where we want to manage what sort of nonsense shows up on the feed?

> We really have lost the cultural axiom "I may hate what you say, but I will defend your right to say it" haven't we.

I didn't say this, so your two replies in one feels odd. However, no one is stopping you from saying it. Say it all you want. I'm advocating a smaller forum where i don't have to listen to you say things to me that i'm uninterested in.

I'm not stopping you from being on the internet. From having electricity. Just like i'm fine with you yelling on the street corner.

I'm moving to the other side of the street. And you object to that, for some odd reason. Because by me moving, it doesn't give you a voice?

Edit: To sum it up, this isn't about safe spaces. This is about spam. There's only so much "Vaccines give you 5G!!!" i can put up with lol. Just like the guy on the street corner. Hard to have a conversation around that annoying screaming.
I find too much cynicism off-putting. I'm at a Big Tech adjacent (or not depending) company and one reason (of many) I don't consider Google as a potential employer is because everyone I've met there is deeply cynical about the company. I've gone places in my life I never expected I'd end up in, my own brain is wired to filter out cynicism. If I had to deal with a company culture deeply cynical about everything they work on, I'd either become irascible or horribly depressed.

People are different. Good thing we tech folks are well-compensated and are in fairly high demand.

Hi, GitLab team member here :)

GitLab has some project visibility settings that you can utilize to control visibility and prevent users from publishing repos to the public: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/public_access.html#restrict-...

Alternatively, private groups can only have private projects: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/public_access.html#private-p...
I said "Jane, you ignorant slut" in a joke thread and my account was permanently suspended for "Violating our rules against hateful conduct."

It's literally a quote from an old Saturday Night Live skit that Dan Aykroyd used to do. It wasn't directed at anybody or anything.

So much for humor & free speech at Twitter. I did submit an appeal, but it's been a week and no reply. Meanwhile, Qanon is back on Twitter. I'd be happy to use it in a read-only mode but it doesn't show the people or accounts I follow, which is useless.

Edit: I find the downvotes to be quite interesting. I have the feeling that in some ways moderation on tech like Twitter + Meta is experiencing a clash of generations. What was mainstream comedy 30 years ago is quite different than today.
No, because I've deliberately chosen to accept a lower salary (by working for myself) in exchange for greater personal autonomy, owning my work output, and the freedom to talk about whatever I want.
I spent so many hours finding a user on Napster (or Soulseek) and looking through the albums they had in their collection. Maybe it was because there was a higher barrier to entry for an album getting into a person's collection back then -- they either had to rip it from CD or download it on relatively slow connections, and hard drive space wasn't what it is now of course. It's not anything like favoriting a song or album on a platform like Spotify, even if you could browse their saved albums.

I'd love to have discovery require a little bit of work again, there was a lot of fun and playfulness in digging.
I sometimes see posts about Datalog & Co being posted here. I must say I don't understand where and when this is used. Like, I see the home page, I see the example page and I still don't understand. Is there any actual application using this? What for?
Weight, they can make you sweaty, may feel uncomfortable in other ways, look dorky as hell. Probably do a bunch of bad eyestrain-related stuff that we haven't figured out yet (or some have but are keeping it quiet). Serious motion-sickness issues for a fraction of users that's too large to ignore, even with top-notch goggles.

When they're in the same size/weight/appearance ballpark as sunglasses, is when AR/VR glasses will take off. It'll be the next "smartphone revolution", no question about it. We'll wonder how we ever put up with being as tied-down as we are at a normal office workstation. The smartphone put the Internet everywhere, rather than in one place, AR/VR will put your computer everywhere. Until then... yeah, it's niche tech.
Really, last time I read there’s zig compiler flag to not use LLVM at all (but not all features supported yet)

Spotify's recommendation algorithm is weird. I feel like it knows exactly what I do like, but its only able to suggest slightly worse carbon copies of bands I already listen to.

Going through my recommendations feels like a bunch of bad cover bands of things I like.
> fostered is an awareness and avoidance of cynicism

There’s a fine line between fostering avoidance of cynicism on one side, and fostering koolaiding and yes-manning on the other.
But what if they switched the water supply and tried to cover up the health effects of that?
What an uninformed opinion. Just because you don’t need them doesn’t mean nobody does. Autism is a real problem, and solving real problems is something companies do for profit, not because it’s “PC”.
