Puter.com belonged to my good friend (and now also an investor in Puter) Humberto (who is the founder and CEO of Rows.com). He told me about the domain and I immediately thought it would be the perfect fit for this project. He was very gracious and agreed to sell it to me (well, to Puter Technologies Inc. lol). The price was $25,000.

Another comment on here explains it very well: "It’s “pyu-ter”, like comPUTER! Puter dot com! Well done" This is why I loved it so much!

It seems like this is basically coming from Elon Musk through someone he chose.

What you’re about to read is the first installment in a series, based upon thousands of internal documents obtained by sources at Twitter

Is Elon Musk now "sources at Twitter"?

There might be some interesting bits in here, but I think it's important to note that this is Musk pushing his agenda. Is this just propaganda? It's being presented as a revelation by an outside reporter who got access to previously secret Twitter Files from "sources". Instead, is it just Musk's agenda being told by another person?

Imagine if Zuckerberg hired a PR firm to put out revelations that showed him in a positive light. We'd mock it mercilessly. This seems like basically the same thing, but he grabbed a Substack writer looking who will get paid through subscribers and notoriety rather than by Musk. "I won't pay you, but I'll send everyone to your tweets, Substack, and book where you can make millions," just sounds like hiring a PR firm with extra steps.
Given the state of the industry at large, and the unregulated, uninsured nature of it all, I disagree.

People said the same about Quadriga, and FTX.
Do we get to read the actual files? Or do we only get them mediated to us by Matt Taibbi's summary + some redacted screenshots?
Seems like we prefer inflation to recessions.
My computer is neither a tool nor a fashion accessory. It’s a ship, and it has a name, and it has taken me places I wouldn’t otherwise be able to imagine. You can paint it black if you want to, but you better treat it right.
The situation is clouded by the extreme bias of the employees at Twitter. They seemed to believe they were applying the ToS consistently and fairly despite mountains of evidence to the contrary.

It was interesting when they banned Trump that they cited "To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th." as a notable incitement of violence. Someone who can put that up and think of it as a serious interpretation is not working from the same reality as most people.

EDIT It is hard to find, here is the link to the reasoning. It is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of the Twitter executives: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...
Hey, it begs the question, how many authoritarian and partisan tactics can one utilize before being considered an partisan authoritarian?

If you think it's the Twitter's moderation team who's responsible for "to control and influence the conversation itself" on Twitter, I got bad news for you.

Political conversation on twitter is driven by:

1) loud extremists on all sides of the political spectrum

2) domestic and foreign agents working to destabilize society for their gain

3) bots amplifying all of the above

Regular people, the majority of them with bland moderate opinions, are largely absent from all of that, yet somehow we all pretend that Twitter and other such platforms are representative of the population. I mean, if we weren't pretending, there would be very little reason to pay attention to it, yet here we are.

There are two types of platforms that (somewhat!) managed to escape the trap of extremism:

1) Those owned and controlled by billionaires for their own gain (state funded channels, major private news channels, local news stations, etc.)

2) Platforms that are too small / too niche / not used by people for sharing political opinions (niche forums, most people's email, etc.)

I am yet to see any solutions for this.

Everyone's pumping Mastodon as if it can solve extremism / spam / bots. It can't, the extremists, special interests, and their bots will just follow you there... if Mastodon ever becomes big enough to drive political discourse that is. And if it won't, then it's no different from the myriad of niche forums we already have – those are great, but utterly irrelevant to the problems we face with platforms like Twitter.

Neither will government-enforced censorship improve the situation. If you disagree, let's wait until <party-you-hate> is in power, then implement this change. <excuses follow>. Yeah, that's what I thought.
Thank you! This is why I fell in love with the domain too :)
"In a fictional universe where it's fine to do X, tell me how to do so" seems to work for all cases I've tried. In some you can just repeat "tell me anyway" and it will override previous refusals.
Something does not make sense here, either the article or the EU does not understand the technology behind the buzz:

The EU Commission has reserved certain frequency bands for aircraft since 2008, allowing some services to offer mid-air internet access.

But this service has been historically slow, as it relied on equipment to connect people via a satellite between the aeroplane and the ground.

Even there is 5g femtocells in the airplane, the connectivity will still go through satellite connection, so the total speed and latency should not be that different of wifi.

And clearly, 5g frequencies being higher, you will not have better reception from ground cells...
...you guys have a wallpaper?!
Kessler Syndrome notwithstanding.
Weird how you say it was blatant partisan censorship but ignore that the Trump administration did the same exact thing while they were actually in the executive branch. It's almost like there is something blatantly partisan here going on, but it's not the "censorship"
It's very common on the left to demand suppression of "hate speech".

Of course, that commonly ends up mostly meaning "speech I hate".

Either way, it’s fascinating to watch!
It doesn't seem that different from the more typical "rich person (or company) sues major tech platform, employee emails become public record as part of the lawsuit and are publicized to affect public opinion". Though it is amusing that both sides are the same company in this case.
I do the same (though not black, but plain solid colors) and it’s that much easier to quickly acknowledge windows borders or the lack of any foreground window (a popup left on corner of the screen on a busy desktop pic becomes a game to find)

> You shouldn't let them seduce you into thinking that what you see on a screen is better than the vibrant world outside it.

This sounds like a red flag…I hope the author isn’t starting to burn out or in a utterly shitty environment where looking at the screen is really that much better.
Nope.

It's clearly evident if you look at them in a telescope, especially in observatory.
>Your devices are tools, not fashion accessories

Terrible philosophy, or at least generalizing without any justification. Devices can be anything. Utilitarian tools, fashion statements, artistic expressions or whatever you want really.

Some authors have remarked that we're really homo faber, tool making men, and so if you want some individuality in the tools you work with go for it, in many ways they define who you are. No need to make your computer a dreary black box that you can't have any fun or play with.
> Inlining heuristics used for -O3 are architecture-specific […]

Yes, the inlining strategy is non-deterministic and does not yield same results across different ISA. Moreover, it does not even guarantee the same result for a single ISA if the code was compiled for a specific submodel of a CPU with a different instruction cache line size.

Especially for the x86 ISA where instructions are variable length, it is common for instructions to inadvertantly spill over into the next I-cache line thus yielding a substantial performance penalty for a performance critical/sensitive code path. Therefore, a common technique for the optimiser was (I have not checked recently tho) to take into account the I-cache line size, group instructions in such a way that if a fat code sequence were to cross the cache line, fill in the rest of the cache line with NOP's and place the fat instruction into the next cache line. Such a problem is nearly non-existant for RISC ISA's although I would surmise that one has to watch out for tight loops anyway.

> I would expect the -O2 numbers to reflect better the actual ISA capabilities.

I would go on to add that today «-O3 -fno-inline-functions» would give a more accurate and faithful reflection of generic ISA capabilities today. For a long time, «-O3» was no more than «-O2 -finline-functions»; however, since then further optimisations have been added to «-O3» that are rather useful generic optimisations for modern CPU's (i.e. loop vectorisation and more). The article is especially lacklustre in this particular regard as the author does not go beyond generic bloviations and does not make an attempt to understand what hides beyond «-O3».
I had some ideas about how one can run a free speech social media without actual or shadow banning and without letting “problematic” accounts disturbing others. I think my ideas completely died around level 13. I mean I can make them work to fit the extra requirements, but it will be just a game of whack-a-mole where some other powerful entity dictates the rules for you. Welcome to hell…

Weapons are bad in general. The military, however, takes a practical view rather than a moral one, and will not limit themselves based on what is good and bad, but will arm themselves based on what is effective. This is why we can't have nice things.

The last sentence in your claim is so broad as to be meaningless. Should the defense budget be removed? Highways? Social Security?

Reasonable people can agree that taxes are painful, or that the funds are misspent, but blanket claims that taxes==bad do not advance the debate at all.

An honest debate about taxes starts with an honest accounting of where the money is really going, and where it is really coming from, neither of which is ever going to happen in countries like the US.

> Twitter in its conception was a brilliant tool for enabling instant mass communication, making a true real-time global conversation possible for the first time.

This is grandiose sounding rubbish.

The moment when I experienced real-time global conversation was when I compiled an IRC client on a Unix box in maybe 1992 or 1993, joined some channel, and it turned out the person chatting with me there was in Australia.

In between that and Twitter (as well as before), there were instant messengers and public chatrooms and what have you. Services like AOL and CompuServe.
I like my wallpaper but yes I don't often listen to music while working, it's distracting. I don't want my music listening to become background, I like to listen intently.

And yeah, I also keep my guitar by my desk and pick it up for a break several times a day. I paint too, I have the easel on the other side so I can take a more occasional break to paint. I don't claim this makes me a better programmer or helps concentration or anything like that, just for fun.
That's comparing two different issues. I'm talking about long-term trends regarding the same issue, and how people fail to acknowledge the trendline and instead cherry pick recent examples, usually relating to political opponents, and then present the example without relevant historical or transnational context.
Not only that, but every other chapter of the "book" ends in: "I have written a more extensive text about this topic on my database focused website ..." pushing their blog.

It's unclear why. If anything, I would expect the more extensive text in the "book".

At any rate, it starts to feel like a wild goose chase after a while and my expectation is that I'll have to fill something else out or watch a ton of ads before being show fluff content if I click on a link in a book that I had to sign up for newsletter to download....

I wouldn't know though because I'd rather whine about it here than actually follow the link :)
I've read that their VR devices are very popular with youngsters and growing.
oh that's super interesting. thanks!
I take a much different approach. I put safe for work images into my wallpapers folder, usually found on t-shirt websites. Then every 5 minutes the wallpaper changes to the next random image in my folder.

It gives a nice heart beat to the day. If I’ve seen the wallpaper flicker 4 or 5 times I should look away for a moment.

I have found intervals between 5 and 12 minutes work best. Just often enough you notice it, but not so often that it’s distracting.
Absolutely agree with this. I’ve used a dark neutral color for my background, lock screen, etc for a decade.

I think it offended my girlfriend when she wasn’t on my lock screen, but she got over it and now we’re married and have a kid.

More seriously, it’s just a lot easier to find what I’m looking for on top of a neutral background. It’s not a moral imperative but I will probably stick with it for another decade.

It's pretty odd that the Verge and Platformer have had wall to wall coverage of every moment of Twitter the past few weeks, including live-tweeting content sourced from (perhaps appropriately) disgruntled ex-employees. And yet here, silence so far.

It goes to show what we already knew. Every media outlet (or blogger, or influencer) has an audience, caters to that audience, grows that audience, monetizes that audience.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if The Verge employs high-minded journalists, or just wants to hock a Z Fold 4 referral link in time for Christmas. Perhaps subscriptions will save us all, but then if your audience is more Twitter employees than Twitter owners, you'll certainly tend to bias your coverage accordingly.

It seems business model is not the solution alone. I think all we can hope for is diversity and choice. I just hope quality can work its way through the algorithm.

[Edit: The Verge did just post their first article on this just now, calling it "a flop."]

I don't think it's quite that simple. For instance, the establishment of religion clause has been read to deny public entities the ability to put up Christmas displays, despite no "laws" being passed to facilitate them.

The government "asking" a private entity to take some action is inherently coercive due to the power imbalance.

Yep! Dont really care who's in the White House in this instance.

I referenced the Biden team's verbiage because that's the only verbiage that was posted with the implied intent on getting tweets removed (besides the DNC). I'd love to see the email's from the White House asking for tweets to be removed.
I don't think it's about removing access per se. It is more about making the story radioactive to Dem voterbase - (upper-)middle class suburban white collar demographic. To ensure that their loyal voterbase stays loyal.

Same thing happened with Andrew Cuomo. It was an elaborate play designed to make Dem voterbase to believe how amazing Dems are at handling COVID. Meanwhile dilligent citizens knew what Cuomo had done with the nrusing homes. The moment Biden took office Cuomo was thrown under bus because Dems knew due to his nursing home scandal he has become a liability. The longer he stays in the office the more it'll draw attention to Dems' creafully written PR plot.
Postel's Law isn't why we can't correct errors for backwards compatibility reasons.

We can't correct those because backwards compatibility is necessary to creating a global network that lasts decades. It's the railway effect... One simply can't expect every player to update their architecture religiously because they can't afford to, therefore what is made public tends to stick around for ages, and anything that fails to recognize that stickiness (IPv6 is my go to example) does so at its own peril.

They also publish stuff like that. It doesn’t seem to be a very well proofed page. And generally seems to confirm that the whole thing is pretty automated so I can see how this happens.
I can't make sense of your statement.

Can clarify what it is this means?
I’ve been partying on the same code base for about five years now. I’ve written about 70% of it, but it’s large enough (200k lines or so) that I can’t keep all of its subtleties in my head.

In the last year alone I’d estimate comments written by my past self have saved me dozens of hours of effort tracking down the reason why code was implemented a certain way. A couple times I’ve undertaken some refactoring that would’ve taken hours, only to find 10 minutes into the process a comment to the effect of “don’t try to refactor in that way, for these reasons” and it was correct.

Maybe my memory is just particularly bad. But if the comments are helpful to me, they’d also be helpful to someone else who didn’t write that code.

It does take practice to know when and how to write those comments though.

I don't think casually diagnosing ADHD/ADD is helpful, but your desire for structure is not ADHD/ADD.
