Almost all twitter users are people who read tweets, not write them. So I think it will still impact their experience a lot. The good thing about twitter is being able to take in a lot of info fast.

If this were me doing it - I'd make only the 140 first characters readable without a click. But then after that it makes sense to combine text threads of 10 tweets into a single text box rather than the makeshift (3/10) system people use now
NextDNS can be a viable option with their “Recreation Time” feature. Overall it seems like DNS is the right place to implement this cross platform.
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

Your take on it being just people with an idea is my preference too and I know exactly what you mean. I don't mind having all forms of guests and business types on the show but those smaller to medium sized businesses definitely popped up the most. I think it's because I mostly got guest requests from posting on HN and Reddit. I didn't reach out to big companies directly.
It’s a major benefit for people that are annoyed by eye floaters.
I wonder if that's actually your share given your tax bracket though. I'm actually not familiar enough to guess.
"Not-so-great"? How about "absolutely fucking horrible"? What's with this "softening" of language these days? Is "doubleplusungood" next? I've been noticing it more and more lately on technical articles and it really pisses me off because it's trying to downplay the insanity of the situation and if anything only encourages MS to continue down this terrible path ("they just think it's not-so-great, no worries...")

To get them to listen and change course, beyond mass migrations away from Windows, I don't think muted complaints will work; we need to complain more, louder, harder. With the same amount of energy they're shoving this shit down our throats. To paraphrase Linus Torvalds: Microsoft, fuck you!
Forcing no, but those who could afford to do it would engineer superior children, and society would rather quickly devolve into a caste-type social system or worse.
You don't need a $5,000 monitor, I'm sorry. You think you do, and you've clearly justified it to yourself too, but the loss-in-productivity relative to using a $1,000 monitor is so insignificant that I won't listen to entitled millionaires defend it. Apple is taking you for a ride, one that you apparently enjoy but also one that they use to manipulate every last dollar out of your pocket like Disney World. Go, look at their hardware margins and tell me you're not being scammed.

I'm sure the $5,000 monitor makes you happy, especially if money is no object to you anymore. You're lying to yourself and others if you're trying to justify the cost-benefit of a $5,000 display with a $1,000 stand.
If someone can afford to roll up to work on a bike that expensive, they are probably not worried about it getting stolen. Specifically, they either likely have somewhere to lock it up, or can afford to replace it (and/or have it insured). Make no mistake, rocking up to work on your Factor/S-Works/Cervelo/etc is a flex, either deliberately (look at my boutique, expensive bike, peasants), or subconsciously ("oh yeah, my bike? Yeah picked it up the other day, know the guy that owns the shop").
chatbot gibberish
The same reason why tor exit nodes are blocked/limited by services. You have the anonymity (if your opsec is good) and endless bandwith. So these will very likely be used for shady/illegal stuff. To do this with google or other providers would be not very smart, the majority of people will use these only for hiding your traffic from your isp, your local network or geo location spoofing and the percentage of suspicious activity from their IP ranges will be very small.
No one said you had to tolerate it lol. They just said it's not really relevant to the discussion. Microsoft's empire is not crumbling.

I think this is basically right. The 13" is basically the old hardware (including Touch Bar) with an M2 jammed in there. I think any competent enterprise would procure either the other MBP models or the M2 airs. I assume this model exists because there was spare manufacturing capacity and some organisations move at a glacial pace and seemed to think they wanted this model (or the transitional M1 13" MBP this one replaced) or because Apple had more M2 chips to use for the hardware than M1 chips.
Not exactly. "Wie geht's"? is more informal and it is perfectly acceptable to say something like "ja muss" or "geht so". There is no forced positivity. You can imply that you are feeling bad or just normal without it being a big deal.

Plus "Wie geht's" is more impersonal. It is more like asking "How is the situation?". It is not as direct as asking "How are YOU" (with you being the subject of the sentence instead your mood/situation being the subject) which feels much more intimate when directly translated to German.
This is where I expected HL3 to come in... years ago. They had gravity gun. They had portal gun from portal.

HL3 just needed to merge the two storylines/timelines and give players both.

Imagine multiplayer with that!
Plants with cooling towers (like Isar 2) use evaporation for cooling and don't heat rivers.
What's unbelievable is Microsoft being charged with a crime for giving away free stuff that was significantly better than any other implementation out there.

As if giving consumers free tools was harming them. As if Microsoft ever prevented any other browser from being installed.

Never mind that today nearly every OS comes with a free browser. Even my Kindle comes with one.
I made my writing app dark mode by default and so many reviews praised the dark background as easier on the eye. even though all the writing apps out there have customizable colors, the small gesture of making dark the default helped a lot of people
There's currently two memetic beliefs going around over here (especially in middle to upper middle class + younger generations) that A) America is more racist than the rest of the world, and that B) America has gotten it wrong by not having a European-style social democracy + associated benefits.
Next to some awesome open source VSTs (SurgeXT, Helm, Vital etc.) there's plenty of closed source VSTs that run native on Linux (u-he plugins come to mind)

In this scenario you kinda just have to do what is best for you, and how you work. Don't get me wrong I'm glad to be better informed on this, but its not going to change that I prefer how dark mode looks overall
I do prefer dark one but I found out man dark themes are just plainly made badly.

Between bad contrast (I'm looking at you Solarized dark) and just picking plainly too dark background most dark themes are just bad. I wonder if that might've skewed results, kinda hard to make objective "best light/dark theme"
The conclusion of this article (dark mode is bad for your eyes) seems to contradict the article that is used as the main source. In the source (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/dark-mode/) , light mode is described as possibly associated with myopia (nearsightedness).
> sequence of zero or more values

You can try this type of programming at home, say in JavaScript Make any result or argument be an Array. The problem with nulls goes away because "not there" is represented simply by an empty Array (a.k.a "sequence").

And you will not get null-errors because you can write:

newValue = someValue.filter(...) . map(...) ;

You don't need to test whether filter() returns an empty array or not, the map() will work for empty arrays too but simply do nothing.

This is in a sense "generalized programming" because you don't deal with individual values but always with collections of them. I sometimes wonder why I don't use this pattern more often.
I thought that was obvious and dark mode was a meme about gamers not having sunlight while having their monitors set at maximum brightness so they use dark mode to reduce glare. Like the whole sunlight is burning, quick close the blinds joke.

OLED mode on my phone is definitely a treat for battery life, but then darker actually means less light instead of dark coloured light.

This change wasn't an organised discussion but casually came up while writing a report: the writer changed the acronyms template text (for this report) from MITM to AiTM, he let the team know and asked whether the upstream (company-wide) template should be changed also. That sparked alternative suggestions like Machine instead of Attacker and we ended up going with that. It wasn't intended to be formal and vote-like. I'm not sure setting up an anonymous vote (on some third party system to avoid being able to see server logs) is feasible every time something like this comes up.

How would you say we could do better? I'm definitely open for ideas if there are feasible methods. (And if it's not a "feasible" method for this one-off, then it might still be a good thing for more general / organised opinion gathering.)

There’s probably a subreddit where you can pose the question. Though, submitting a landing page proposes a solution. You should perhaps be focused on chatting with people who have the problem to validate if your solution is right.
I didn't understand "false?" as a NULL value but more of a "Nothing"/"None" in the context of a Maybe monad. Since the language doesn't even have a Boolean equivalent, it makes sense to introduce a value for a failed condition or zero values.

The problem with SQL's NULL are its properties (comparison and arithmetic in particular), which doesn't seem to apply here (e.g. "42 + false? === false?, just as with monadic function composition and Maybe monads).

My area has people who have been fighting for better infrastructure for decades. I have voted for the issue as well for decades. The social component is important. When commuters lose a lane on popular roads, they responded by voting the people out of office who were responsible for it.

I know you think it’s simple, but I know from experience that it’s not. Deep car-centric cultures demand more of the same. Maybe where you’re from these attitudes seem like outliers, but in middle America, it’s really not. It’s not an awareness issue, an insignificant number of people here resent the idea. There’s no convincing them.

Also, planning is definitely important. If the lanes don’t go between differently zoned areas, they’re useless for primary transport. What little success we’ve had is used against us as evidence that “nobody wants bike
lanes”.
Considering it happens with all files I download onto a USB drive, yes, I'm pretty sure it's not a virus.

10k more and we might actually make some progress. Just 20 more years!
I think that the spec is essentially weasel words keeping the implementer's options open for the future - it's a difficult area where you really don't want to have to throw unreasonable numbers of gates at the problem, and because you (as a chip architect) really don't know what sort of issues you might run into 10 years from now you keep your options open.

Existing implementations may be tighter, but as a programmer if you want your code to run reliably in the future you should follow the declared rules.

An example from elsewhere: RISC-V has an instruction that you execute between when you write the data to memory and when you execute the changed code. How it's implemented is up to the chip architect (this rather puts the shoe on a different foot architecturally) - at a worst case you have to: 1) flush the data to memory, 2) flush the instructions caches, 3) flush the execution queue .... a system with a good cache coherency setup might minimise this with: 1) flush the write queue to L1 data cache (as a side effect cache coherency flushes just the required instruction cache entries rather than the whole cache) 2) flush the execution queue - still not exactly lightweight, but you're likely going to pull those new instructions from the companion L1 data cache

>I'm much better off doing that right before a sale.

I would love to see industry averages on if pre-sale renovations make any sense at all. Considering the outright financial expenses, possible financing, potentially weeks/months of organizing contractors, dealing with overages, delaying the house sale, yada yada.

If the work takes more than a week (so not just appliances, painting, etc) is there generally a positive expected return?

The reality is that writing a decent commit message, by some reasonable standard involve information not encoded in the contents of the commit (or any linked data). The contents of the commit are almost a side-effect of the actual work.

As such, no amount of “gpt magic” will solve this.
I loved that game, but it became all about the trick jumps, which basically broke every map and that just got annoying as all hell.
Design decisions should really go into docs rather than commits.

Out of three (commits, comments, docs), the commits are least approachable, just few changes in the code will erase original commit in the blame.

By all means write good commit messages, but crystallize the info in them into changelog or other docs every bigger release
Eschewing industry standard ergonomics that have been taught to every developer for the past 3 decades seems like the total opposite of "prioritizing productivity" to me.

Besides, in large engineering organisations you're always going to find multiple languages. Even at Google, which keeps a very short list of blessed languages compared to most companies, the Googlers I know who typically work on "proto to proto" middleware in Go are often jumping into codebases in Java, Kotlin, Dart or TypeScript. So clearly, they can deal with modern language features too.
This seems pretty interesting, do you have links that provide more details on this? Is it all functionality that's available by default on pihole or did you use some mods/custom blocklists/etc?
Around 1998 I had some awful cable, which if memory serves connected to the Parallel port on one end, SCART on the other and some very unreliable software in the middle.
That’s peak not average, 7,200 W is only while actually charging. EV only need about one and a half hours at that rate per day and can be scheduled for low demand periods.

7,200 W * 1.5 hour/day = 7.2 kW * 1.5h * 4 miles per kW hour * 365 days ~= 15,768 miles per year.

7,200 W * 1.5 h / 24h/day = 450 W on average.

Plenty of EV home chargers are already internet connected and let you schedule when to start charging.
Tesla for example let’s you specify to wait for low rates or use a specific time. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/models/en_us/GUID-BEE08D4...

This level of flexibility let’s EV’s maximize the use of the grids existing infrastructure which will likely lower average costs per kWh.

What I liked about the 1979 TTSS and Smiley's People was that the riddles, characters, and relationships had ample space to be explored properly with unashamedly long, drawn out scenes and side stories. The atmosphere of it is just terrific. I think it's the best piece of television I've watched.

Thing is, that was 10 hours per season. It was a futile task to try and cram that into a film; more so than most series/books because it has a fucking confusing plot. It'd have lent itself better to 2/3 parts - and then onto Smiley's people, which IMHO is even better!
It seems interesting to me that even if we consider Google as a monolith, the authorities with abilities to compel Google are not monolithic and have varied rights and varied legitimacy. Quite a few groups that could subpoena logs could not compel active actions like wire tapping, etc.

Aaaand use f.lux (https://justgetflux.com/). Daylight setting black on white may indeed be way too bright at night, but when you turn down amount of light produced - or let through to your eyes - by your monitor and combine it with the night adjustments from f.lux in my experience you are good even reading late.

Of course, in addition I also only use some pretty dim LEDs from some x-mas decorations instead of the bright lamps everybody else seems to use when I walk around the neighborhood at night. I could not live with using those regular lamps any more. I've gotten used to having my rooms pretty dark whenever it's dark outside, light equivalent to maybe half a dozen candles.

Both the ambient light and the monitor have to be adjusted. They can use dark mode all they want, if they leave a regular lamp on it still is very bright.

Living like this I noticed how little light I actually need, by now I deliberately keep older - significantly dimmer than new - of those x-mas LED chains ("warm white" - more yellow by now), use the newer (still brighter) ones early in the evening, and later switch to the old even dimmer ones exclusively. And it still is more than enough, maybe three or four candles equivalent per room.

I don't want to program in any new language. I only want to describe the program to GPT and have it write it for me.
If room is totally dark, there is no brightness level that is comfortable in light mode, due to high contrast with ambient. It here is simply too much area lit up.
All I can say is :shrug:

As soon as I left the comfortable worlds of Apple ][ and MS-DOS and got shoved into Windows 3.0, I pined for a dark screen and started fucking with the color profile. When I was 12.

When I started running Solaris and Linux boxes in college, always had a dark terminal, and wrote my code in vi.

The older I get, the more I crave the darkness, and the UX bros are accommodating me.

Maybe it's just too late for me already.
There's a loud vocal minority that hates threads, & this appeases that faction a lot. But jeeze it's just so excellent having digestible individual nuggets, having interaction divided finely (rather than a big long post being upvoted or commented on, you see fine grained interaction patterns).

This is another really huge destruction of value (like deleting dead/inactive people's stuff from existence[1], imo. The constraint greatly helped things, and threads for 95% of people work great & help.

What a sad pointless stupid waste, turning something special into something dumb/mundane/regular. More steps back.

Wow that's really unfortunate. Recently with Fedora experienced the complete opposite with the same change, didn't even need to install drivers (or even remove the old ones), just worked out of the box. Long time I haven't used Ubuntu though. Biggest problem for me was the fact that the kernel was oftentimes too outdated (for my cutting edge needs), maybe that's why Fedora worked so well (Linux 6 already).
Almost all Steam games (old and new) run on Linux with no further modifications. I'm running Elden Ring, Dark Souls I Remastered, DS2 SotFS, DS3, GTA V, Sekiro, Valheim, XCOM 2, Hellblade, Noita, BioShock Remastered and Infinite, Celeste, and dozens of others. This is a relatively recent development, and the only "technical" thing I've had to do is tell Steam to run games not verified for Linux with Proton. You don't even need to run Ubuntu; I've been using Arch and NixOS.

Why? At that point resistive heating could be cheaper than gas, and remove at least some of the demand.
Google colab is $49/mo to get an A100. Trust me when I say you can build multimillion-dollar ML companies with just that (and maybe $100 extra dollars per month of spot credits).
There is a lot of industry that has absolutely no other way than to use gas. There was an article about a copper wires manufacturer in a German magazine a while ago. They need a lot of heat to melt the copper, and currently the only economically feasible way is natural gas. Electricity just can't get you the temperatures and alternatives like hydrogen just don't work yet (they actually have been running tests for years on this).

The issue is if they don't have gas, transitioning other things to electricity becomes difficult, because you need copper.
