You've said better than my comment here. I haven't had a single tear in the past 10 years but back then it helped kickoff the process of showing up a lot. The fighting action has its reaction that eat soul. Being strong is being painful while keeping everything functioning. I wish I had ability to cry again.

Well I'm sorry to be a broken record, but I think the best answer is to switch to a browser (and/or browser engine) that isn't trying to kill content blocking & user choice for profit.
This is the same nonsense that Apple does with their 18+ censor wall of any apps that can access the internet.
He spent months publicly attacking Twitter and damaging the platform while trying to weasel out of the contract he foolishly signed. To suggest that it was all an act and that he willingly had a change of heart after being taken to court would be beyond credulity.
Seems inspired by trump's playbook?

It would've still stopped - the FSD system doesn't override the background tasks that power the AEB systems that stop the car from hitting humans or cars.
Yep. Poetry that leads to the horrifying realization that many of our elites live in a world surrounded by p-zombies, and somehow, this doesn't give them a moment's pause.
Our family uses Alexa for a few things.

1. Music
2. Family Room TV control (we lose the remote a lot)
3. Interaction with the Home Automation system to a small
degree (mostly triggering scenes without needing to hit a button).
4. Weather
5. Timers/Reminders
6. House-wide announcements

On the few occasions we've asked questions, the garbage responses have trained us to _not_ do that.

Edit: Forgot to include my point. The only things on that list we actively do that could justifiably say they need remote access to work are music streaming and weather. And we could be local on music if we limited ourselves to owned libraries instead of streaming services.
> I feel like the really interesting part of "The Twitter Files" isn't the arbitrary moderation decisions made (we sort of knew what they were thru their implementation and it's hard for moderation to be "not arbitrary" whether you agree with the decisions or not) but the involvement of US government representatives in it.

I haven't followed parts 2 & 3 of the Twitter files. But the irony here is that the government officials involved in part 1 were the Trump administration. Biden was not yet elected and should be considered a private citizen.
> "If you're in a fixed location, you don't need to use a mobile network. Get wired internet connectivity"

Not always the best option in the UK.

5G mobile broadband is often both faster and cheaper than old-fashioned DSL, which is still all that's available in some areas/buildings. Even when you can get fibre to your home, it's often significantly more expensive and requires 12+ months contract commitment etc. Unlimited 5G data, on the other hand, can be got for around £20/month with no contract.

5G also tends to be more reliable. There’s a lot of redundancy built in to mobile networks that you don’t get with fibre.
Who is providing this information on the content of the tweets that were asked to be removed?

We don't have a comprehensive list of tweets the campaign and the DNC forwarded. I looked at archive.org for the tweets linked here: https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598827602403160064

2 of these include Hunter nudity, one is a video that doesn't play, one was never archived.

One, from GuySquiggs, is a Hunter photo with the nudity mspainted out, but questioning the age of the woman in the photo.

Also, is that a legal use of campaign funds to have staffers try to scrub the candidate's son's nudes from Twitter?
There are plenty of legitimate uses for that. How do you tell legitimate from not?
Great, this is our goal. TBH we are not there for the time being, but we strive to get there.
Even if rent is arguably cheaper outside of the big cities, the costs of living for the poor are more expensive as transportation costs increase, and economic opportunity plunges.

Of course it makes sense for economically precarious people to move to the city. We should expect and applaud them for making this decision. It’s where all the jobs are.
I switched to Safari last year. The battery life improvements over Chrome makes it worth. It’s been a solid browser experience and I haven’t gone back to Chrome for anything. I wish I could add Kagi as a default search.
I've done AoC using my own language before. As a task it's at a sweet spot for finding weaknesses in the language/library/implementation: real and varied enough to exercise your system, small chunks of work, lots of code to compare yours to, with fun and competitive juices.

The first time I did it it forced me to fix some major problems. My language would still be a handicap for me now, albeit a comfy one.

My $115 was a break even priced based on their units sold and reported losses in their Alexa unit for this year.

Adjustments can undoubtedly be made to bring this more inline with what the market will bear but it will almost certainly have to be much higher than $15 to break even.

This is it. Complexity and friction begats skill, but if everything you use is dumbed-down to be "easy," you won't develop many skills in that area.
By the time you found out a plane landed in Chicago, it's waaaaaay too late to intercept. People that stupid aren't a danger. It's exactly the people who know you can use public ADS-B trackers to see flight plans and predict landing times that you might actually worry about.
Everyone here is pissed, but let’s see how it works out if there is an account tracking your own location.
Anyone who still believes anything the man says needs help.
it's a good question - one we get often. despite our "firebase alternative" positioning, this isn't something that we plan to tackle, at least for the foreseeable future.

There are already great platforms out there (e.g. Netlify and Vercel), whereas there are still a lot of unsolved problems in the database/postgres space. We're focusing on database problems first-and-foremost and the backlog hasn't shrunk enough to even think about website hosting.
The peril of free speech is that it's a 2-way street. Every minute of Musk freezing up on stage is a minute that a paying audience is not seeing Chappelle perform.
VF = visibility filter = shadow banning
I've only ever used PAYG, I don't like the idea of a contract for my mobile - I like being able to dump/swap numbers at near zero cost by just going to a corner shop and getting a new SIM.

I also don't believe in registering my mobile number to my identity. Anything to claw back a bit of privacy.
He said at the outset he is most likely going to make mistakes. Any successful moderation policy will depend on the system he puts in place.
But you can use them as evidence that tsc is not working as it "should". Then go ahead and fix tsc Or spec or both as needed.

> 40.1% used “Scala 3.x”, an increase from 6% in the 2019 survey.

As an outsider, I thought v3.0 was released last year[0]. Can someone explain?

Also, would a 6% increase over 3 years for v3.x, vs a 56% increase for v2.13, indicate v3 is not favored?

> But at least formal methods tools can be applied directly to the specification

What makes you think that? For example for C language it has been significant effort to translate the specification to something analyzable by tools
Hard same.
Mea culpa! I've edited my comment to fix this.

("visibility filtering")
A solution would be to require employers to pay for commute times and/or the additional cost of living close to work. If a company has to pay me an additional 2 hours because they require workers to come into their offices in a high traffic car dependent city like Los Angeles then they will have to pay for that privilege.

They already do this to some extent with higher wages. But making it an actual line item on the budget would focus minds a great deal better.
VF = Visibility Filtering = "Shadow Banning"
I know that a lot of Tesla fans view FSD as a sort of tip jar to throw extra money towards the cause but I have a feeling regulators and gov attorneys will come to see it quite differently.
I meant "changed his mind" on this whether this specific account would be allowed on Twitter (He had previously said he was allowing it)
One nitpick : $44 billion is not chump change.
Or... just maybe.... Elon had it removed. I'm gonna be honest, I'm going to go with that until other evidence is presented. But I'm sure Elon Musk, for the sake of transparency, will not only reinstate the account, but make sure that it has the same label attached to it as the LibsofTikTok account to stop this from happening in the future and give us a full report on how this happened...
They also commented at the utter disrespect for Congress by starting off written testimony with the phrase “I fucked up”. There’s no need for language like that and including it in written testimony is beyond stupid.
I find this armchair psychology a bit repulsive--the assumption that one has successfully dissected another and knows the base ingredients that make them tick. If you think about it, to think you know people (figures, if you like) inside out and that their behavior is simplistic and reptilian, is nearly as repugnant in itself as seeing speech as a mere series of levers and pulleys.
Older generations (my parents) were totally technologically inept. Most wouldn't even try. Problems that would be solved by clicking a bit left and right to try and find the solution would get them blocked. A few among them were working in the technology sector, back when you pretty much had to install whatever OS you needed yourself, and before the internet could give you a (bad) answer to any questions you have. Most were tech wizards, simply because that was the only way to survive in the tech industry.

Newer generations of devs had more exposure to technology, and so some of the fundamentals like not getting scared because stuff has a screen, or searching a bit for options. But no shit, Facebook and tiktok don't make you a tech wizard. With tech having evolved you don't need to do as much tinkering, and why would you develop a muscle for that then?

When I was a kid, the only way to play with the home computer was to spend 1/2h copying code from a magazine, so of course I learned a couple of things on the way, because I didn't have a choice. I will wager and say that installing a game by clicking on a button is a better thing. You can still play with code if you want to, and lots of people do, it's just not the only way, and so playing with the computer does not equate to knowing how it works in the way it used to because of necessity.

I do feel like a lot more devs than before can't solve a medium complexity non-code related problem, like restoring a broken dev environment or installing an OS. I think it has got less to do with age or any true generational aspect, and more with the increased size of the group. 1) dev used to be a geek job, and that's not true anymore, 2) if you started dev recently, whatever your age, the toolsuite is much better than it used to be, requires less of you, gives more attention to usability, with the downside that you don't exercise random tech skills as much as was needed in the old days. If everything you do is webdev on node, why would you need to know much about networking, OS and even compilers.

Those are skills that are less useful in proportion than they used to be for "dev" because "dev" is much more diverse than it used to be, and naturally people who don't need them will not acquire them.

That's my perspective, based on personal anecdotal evidence, so it's worth nothing. It's hard talking about that without sounding like an old fart.
User falsely claims, without evidence, conspiracy theory of Musk personally banning Twitter accounts.
> you yourself take an earlier quote about free speech at face value

No; I knew he wouldn't actually do that. Its value is to demonstrate the hypocrisy of Musk's approach so far.

> The next thing you do is to make him guilty by association.

With whom did I associate him?

> I said that I would refrain from judgement until the reason for the suspension is given. Which is very basic human courtesy.

The more times someone lies to you, the less you should "refrain from judgement" on new claims.
I've commuted a bit on the German highways. I only run Autosteer, which is cruise-control + lane-control, and it disengages almost every time there's roadwork.

It is very bad at handling ambiguity when the road has both white and yellow navigation lines. There's a number of scenarios, some of which involve criss-crossing lines, some where they run mostly in parallel.

The car sometimes wants to follow the white lines when the yellow are actually overrides. When the yellow lines are wrong (and should rightfully have been scraped off), this always leads to disengagement. For stretches where the yellow lines are correct, and the older white lines are off by half a meter so that there's effectively not enough space between the white lines and the concrete side, autosteer will sometimes try to switch to the white lines, which would lead to the car smashing into the concrete side.

And sure, autosteer != FSD. But it's a much simpler problem that the Tesla still basically fails at.

Sometimes, in fog, cruise-control will abrubtly break. Very nerve-wrecking.

Relying fully on vision has its downside. Listening to Kaparthy on Lex Fridman's podcast, it sounds like this was cost-cutting. I can't believe that "nope, that big white thing isn't a wall" is not objectively better navigation.
Honestly, why would anyone really care where his jet goes unless you are him, his crew, or ATC?

The only reason folks would be obsessed with this is for nefarious reasons or just out of a blatant disrespect for the privacy of another person. Only negative reasons.

That was also my question
It feels like the sweet spot of technical proficiency is younger Gen X + older Millennials who were there early enough before a lot of the underlying nuts and bolts of how things work got hidden away behind a pretty GUI, but also not too old to no longer want to learn how the new things worked.
Sure it can. A chromium browser has an arbitrary number of chromium processes (e.g tabs). The root process quickly becomes irrelevant performance wise for average users.

Even if you have the simplest tab unloading strategy (like Tab suspender) built in, you'd beat Chrome. But, unloading tabs isn't a safe thing to do in web-standard browsers but fine in niche consumer ones.

Its not really word-smithing either, in all practical ways that matter to the end user, something like tab suspension makes it a much more efficient browser. Even if the JS/rendering (engine) bits are the same speed.

Although, to be fair, I'm not sure if Min does this, the chromium browser I made does.
It’s not free speech if it affects someones safety. Elon is a gated figure and people knowing where he is at all times definitely would not increase safety and could prevent violence
>it is illegal for the government to "outsource censorship" to private parties in order to silence speech protected by 1A. A relative of DNC's Podesta or an FBI lawyer working for Twitter add to the impression more than the legal argument I guess.

This is the entire story, but lede buried by MuskHate.

Does no one out here realize this is the same hate-everything-acknowledge-nothing behavior regarding Trump?

That you must hate the person and nothing else matters... "always shoot the messenger"... It seems clear as day to me, but I guess I'm the crazy one.

EDIT: It's called cathartic scapegoating. And if you point it out, it must mean you're a Trump loving far-right loonie toon. Look at the extent that people will go to prove they aren't just shooting the messenger right here, it's just evidence it is happening.
Did you actually keep it on those whole 3 miles? I would have stopped after the first near miss.
I'm kind of curious what people are most upset about here?
1. They just don't like Elon?
2. They are upset that despite Elon claiming to be a "free speech absolutist" that he is now suspending accounts posting public information? (hypocrisy)
3. They are free speech absolutists themselves and object to this censorship?
4. Something else?

Personally, depending on how often Elon is using this plane - I could see this as a form of doxxing (although not strictly). I think the publicity that the account has been receiving recently is probably why it got suspended. It will be interesting to see whether any other legal or social policy is created related to this issue.
Revue Is Shutting Down
A lot of pedestrians and cyclists in America are there because they can no longer drive legally due to DUIs. It's almost a meme here. If you see a 40 year old dude on a $200 Walmart 21 speed, you can almost assume they have a suspended license and their car is in impound for driving without a license.
Although I cannot comment on this specifically for Rust, what I would confidently say is that one of the best methods for finding the “best” dependencies in any language is to read lots of code. Find the popular and/or most useful projects written in the language on GitHub and see which dependencies that project uses and how they are used.
At least in my career this method has served me well. For a given problem domain I was able to quickly identify the best/most popular packages to use by reading the code that was heavily used by others. Obviously the more you do this the easier it becomes.
You can put a wide-ruffled, brightly-colored collar (with a bell) on the cat. My wife found one on Etsy for our little fluffy hunter, and the combo of noise/color allows the birds to hear/see him coming and skedaddle.
>Yes, and the intervening event that justifies the narrative flip is that he got increased access to Twitter's internal systems and decided that the company had deeper issues than initially appreciated.

This does not make Elon look any better. Elon himself chose to eschew due diligence when he signed the first intent to buy. The first intent to buy was incredibly unusual in the first place because he did not ask for any due-diligence.

If I tell you I will buy your car, no questions asked, and then show up and start complaining about the headlights, that is flip-flopping. It's why the whole thing went to court. Do you really think normal M&A doesn't include due-diligence?

Regardless, the "hidden" issues were a scapegoat. It is far more likely that he wanted to backout because the entire tech sector crashed and 44B was now an insane premium (SNAP, which was worth ~30B at the time is now 15B).
Not sure what you mean by 'limited coverage in popular media', but here's what I saw about this subject in the last 48 hours:

The Guardian (UK): https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/12/breakthr... : "Breakthrough in nuclear fusion could mean 'near-limitless energy'" -- which implies a pretty big deal, not?

Deutsche Welle (DE): https://www.dw.com/en/energy-breakthrough-can-nuclear-fusion... : "Energy breakthrough: Can nuclear fusion help fuel the world?" -- also a guaranteed click from anyone, regardless of interest level in the subject?

NRC (NL, in Dutch): https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/12/13/amerikanen-wekken-voor-... : "American breakthrough in nuclear fusion research" -- describes this as "an important step"

France24 (FR, echoing French-language publications): https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20221213-us-set-to-anno... : "US scientists announce historic nuclear fusion breakthrough" -- "historic" saying a lot here

So, while not above-the-fold headline material anywhere, it seems this is getting very decent coverage worldwide?

I'm not speaking of anything specific. Clearly enough people dislike the experience enough to avoid using apps based on it altogether. That's not my view or experience of electron apps broadly, but I'm single user on a specific setup. My point is less about specific criticisms of electron and more about the fact that dismissing people's experiences with it doesn't really do anything to win those folks over.

I'm surprised you find the sole of his boot tasteless.
Philosophically, I think his “freedom of reach” distinction is a hack/loophole without a strong basis.

Twitter is a promotion service, just like Facebook (in each, they let users promote themselves in exchange for being targeted for promotion by others). The entire point of it is to promote content. It is not a content platform, except by coincidence.

Once you “maximum derank” somebody, you are denying them access to the whole point of the service.

By all means, ban the users you don’t want. Keep your service free of toxicity. Nobody likes a forum full of trolls. But don’t call it “free speech”
