It's taking place in 4000m deep abyssal zones. Aside from these nodules, there's barely any flora there and even less fauna. They've got a research vessel trailing them measuring all of the effects, which the researchers will publish in scientific journals.[1]

Isn't that considered to be anticompetitive behaviour, what with Twitter being the dominant player in the microblogging space and all?
I thought he went off the rails back when he started banning satire accounts that bought a blue checkmark. That felt like a pretty clear admission that he was wrong about the blue checkmark but didn't want to admit it.

Care to substantiate this?

The reason Trump was booted was his role in supporting and promoting Jan. 6th. The whole thing started as a rally put on by Trump.
Musk joined a Twitter Spaces discussion about the bans and was mocked after he left [1]. Notably, suspended accounts were on stage with Elon during the discussion [2].

The space was ended abruptly 30 minutes later and it appears it was killed on Twitter’s side given that the usual metadata does not match what a closed Space has. This Space was being recorded and the replay is not available [3].

Musk now claims that they are fixing a “legacy bug” [4] and this is why Spaces has been disabled. In my opinion, Musk is behaving like a petulant child and his group of cheerleaders look more ridiculous and without backbone each day.

They are talking in the context of games though, for which there aren’t such strong conventions, besides lives in your applications folder, and runs full screen.
Now that the location of the supposed "attack by stalker" has been geolocated by someone affiliated to Bellingcat[1] and obviously that (if ever happened) had nothing to do with services or bots that share aviation public data; can we move past the, arguably naively made, smokescreen and ask what this supposed to disorient us from?

I mean, the hypocrisy of using a jet plane instead of driving for 40 minutes in your "environmental green" car is a thing[2], but shouldn't be enough to randomly ban journalists.

Many interesting bits about Ampere, Weber and Gauss [not Faraday] ... names often sprinkled about (in holy units) but little recalled. That fecund period when most of the fundamental discoveries were made (of nothing!) clearly needs to see more light.

It's a bit criminal that, in the hurry and push of modern college science curricula, there's so little notice of such history. Those giants' feet were firmly grounded.
This is important to stress. SRE often takes first-line oncall, but "We" support the service. On a well behaved service, having SRE support is an extra debugging-focused engineer when things go wrong. But that engineer is rarely called up, and can support the common parts of failure (network issues, hardware failures, the things that are out of any one team's service team's control) for multiple teams.
I don't think "keep that trend for six more months and then everything is good" is pigs flying.

Couldn't, there's no legal requirement for anyone to record and publish ADS-B transmissions.

This is incorrect, number plates of cars belonging to individuals are going to be protected in almost any context you'd be storing them in.

No there isn't, this is crystal clear.

>VSCode is one of the greatest pieces of engineering of our time. It's really only when you compare it with Atom that you realize how great it is. Atom was built by incredibly smart people, who had full control over the platform and several years of head start, and they were still out-engineered by the VSCode team at every turn.

Its good, but not that good. There are still some pretty basic features that full fledged IDEs have - like multi window/display setup. And before someone suggests opening another instance - no, that is not enough and creates some synchronization issues that are no-go.

It also handles huge files very badly - try opening up 1-2gb XML files. It will either ask for more RAM, and crash. Or open it and disable all formatting options. Mind you that other editors can handle such files.

Or try to do a complex multiline regex find and replace - it will just sometimes crash outright on bigger files.

Institutional investors. I can’t explain it better than Matt Levine’s article. It’s well worth the read, and it links directly to the SEC proposal if you’d like to read deeper from there.

After reading the article, my take is less harsh. It is really bizarre to me why instead of outright banning it, they just want to make it a really bad deal to do so. But if it works, great! We’ll see.
VSCode over mRNA vaccines?

That's too obvious of a troll, please, stop here for a second, take a deep breath and reconsider. It's okay, you can let go of your past mistake, nobody will blame you.
My understanding is the supposed "attack" happened 25 miles away from the airport and over an hour after the last tweet from the elonjet account. It's also suspicious that the LAPD came forward saying no police were ever called nor was a police report on the incident filed. This whole situation seems made up or at least strongly exaggerated.

really just flimsy excuse to ban an account musk personally doesn't like and any journalist who criticizes him as well.
When I was a bit younger I worked on quite some high profile (for my country) web apps. Think e-commerce, travel. Couple million users. We used Oracle on big fat metal server stacks for this.

I honestly thought this was needed because RAC and some other stuff. Uptime!

Now, a little older and wiser, I know all of these projects would have been fine on Postgres on some hosted provider.

I posted that deliberately without comment. I think it stands on its own as something people should reflect on when forming their opinion of the current situation, and thought that adding commentary would only muddy the perception of it.

I definitely did not intend it to be imagined with a troll face meme.

But since you asked my opinion, I’ll post it and people can judge it separately to the tweet.

I actually do agree with the idea that you shouldn’t post the whereabouts of people, even celebrities, if they’re not at public events - even if the information is technically public. That seems like a reasonable rule.

It’s the capriciousness and lack of concern for consistency - the seeming knee-jerk, ad hoc decision making - that is so frustrating. (And that many of the people defending it are the same people who perceived old Twitter to be capricious - but that’s another digression.)

I believe that rule-making (and enforcing) for something like Twitter requires more consistency, more deliberation, and more decorum than is currently being presented. I am afraid that this is not in Musk’s nature, and afraid about what the consequences of that will be.

I think the tweet I quoted, combined with knowledge of the current situation, is evidence for all of that.

If Musk is in a Brewster's Millions scenario, he's doing fantastically well. The rules stipulate that he must not spend his money foolishly, but after spending his money on a leveraged buyout of a company that could reasonably have been worth a particular amount at time of offer, driving down the value of the company with foolish decisions is within the rules.

So, it's a thin layer of gold consisting of all-connected particles, thus forming a conducting layer. Then they sandwich that between layers of titanium oxide for protection, not sure if that will help with mechanical durability.

Since it's dependent on an external source of (I guess infrared radiation) heat, it will not work in e.g. winter in the Nordics when there's not a lot of sunshine around.

My conclusion: it's designed for fancy skiing folks in Switzerland's sunny alps, not tired parents trying to see where the fsck the kids went when coming home after picking them up in the afternoon. Time for sunset in Stockholm today: 2:56 pm.

On a more serious note this really sounds promising, all development that improve aspects of wearing glasses is of course awesome since not all can/want to use contacts etc.

Levine doesn't believe PFOF involves people skimming money from retail investors, if that's what you're implying. Levine's story boils down to: retail order flow is cheaper to make markets for, wholesalers and brokers can split the savings three ways (between retail investors, the broker [via PFOF], and the wholesaler). That's not skimming; that's, like, the operating principle of Walmart.
There is also a pretty easy solution to this if you want privacy: sell the private jet and use charters. This is why Bernard Arnauld sold his recently.

I don't know if you are joking or being serious, but TIL iron is of Germanic origin and irony's origin is the romanization of a Greek word. This also explains why the words for iron and irony are so different in Romance languages, and why iron and irony are pronounced so differently. On the other hand felon was copied verbatim from Old French.
That depends on what the purpose of the platform is, and since the owner had previously made a point of being keen on free speech, it's interesting that it's actually not being run in line with those ideals at all. We're now seeing that the carve outs from free speech include things that might reduce profit, and the reposting of public flight data.
Want to hear a 1ame joke?

Look closely, and you'll see it.

Your solution helps. But the better solution being pushed for, which is frankly the correct one, is "out-of-band" certification of domain names. Whether it's a little padlock next to the URL, or locking down the browser completely on non-certified domains. This will of course require more infrastructure, human and technical.

And, ugh, we'll get moral leakage.

Your advice is good. It's helpful if you don't fall victim to feeling too secure.

But, for the debate as a whole, I'm exhausted reading through everything like a lawyer. And dealing with it as a crisis instead of a meeting of minds.

An operating theatre is filled with tools that require decades to master and years to learn to use originally. Even if you forget the surgeon's skill there is still the likes of ECMO (run full time by a perfusionist), EMG/NCS (an electrophysiologist) or the old classic, an anaesthetic machine (anaesthetist). Many of the UIs on these are, to the outside eye, downright janky.
FTR the current plan for git's migration is that commits have both SHA-1 and SHA-2 addresses, and you can reference them by both. There is thus no concept of "SHA-2 commit", or "SHA-1 commit". The issue is more around pointers that are not directly managed by git, e.g. hashes inside commit messages to reference an earlier commit (and of course signatures). Those might require a git filter-repo - like step that breaks the SHA-1 hashes (and signatures) to migrate to SHA-2, if that is desired.

If I understand correctly, not being able to tune .NET is a shortcoming. It is like having a JVM which does not have tuning options, it works optimally only for some workloads, and fails severely for others.
VSCode isn't the most complex of projects or most widespread etc. But from perspective of engineering a large project is about making 100s of small and large choices. In hindsight, lot of them are wrong. Take any software WinNT, Linux, Atom, IntelliJ, Adobe* you can now with all the extra information available today can find some decisions that were wrong.

With VSCode these wrong decisions are very few and minor compared to the brilliant choices made by the team. That's why it is right to cite it as an engineering excellence project.
So sad :(

> Vim and Emacs cannot compare to VSCode when it comes to productivity.

For me you are 100% correct. In either vim or emacs I am at least 10 times more productive than I would ever be in VSCode. No comparison.

> Not to mention that VSCode has countless other productivity boosters built in which would require plugin hunting or fiddling with configuration files for Vim and Emacs.

First, there are distributions of both vim and emacs that come bundled with sets of plugins, if that is the sort of thing you like.

Second, some people enjoy customizing their editor to work exactly the way they want to. You obviously prefer the "set up out of the box" experience, and that is totally fine. Others boost their productivity by customizing their tools. Different people work differently.

Everyone else is not like you. That doesn't make their preferences invalid.

I have known many developers over the years who use both editors, and are extremely productive using their tool of choice. I am certain many of them would not be more productive using VSCode - it simply does not offer them anything significant enough to them to make that big of a difference.
Yeah despite being an interesting post about Scala, I came for the harrowing tale of a big deployment gone wrong. Downtime, angry customers, seat of the pants debugging and straight to prod gambles to save a sinking ship.

Instead, a smug tale of a huge upgrade that went unexpectedly smoothly - with a performance problem swiftly solved. Still a good story, and kudos to the team. Just not the horror show I came for.
About damn time
It really is terrible at humor. I tried asking ChatGPT some dumb joke questions like "if I melt dry ice, can I swim without getting wet?" Any human being would know that this isn't a serious question and is intended as a joke. But ChatGPT gave me a short lecture on the actual chemistry of dry ice and then clarified how dangerous it would be to swim in or with dry ice. The joke went way over its head.

I asked some other similar questions. ChatGPT has zero sense of humor.
This is pretty clearly spurious correlation, unless I suppose you believe that those who chose not to receive the injections are more likely (to the tune of 72%!) to be suicidal maniacs.
What's the big deal? Surely you have at least 512 GB of RAM, not the typical 1 TB for good measure these days. Modern computers with these bare minimum hardware requirements can handle a few electron apps.
already got the surgery 12 years ago
There are two sides to this.

In the Electron case, it’s wasteful to some degree. Especially if the app is not doing much with files/storage etc. For VSCode it makes sense to not run in the browser but for Slack, not so much.

But generally I feel like there’s too much overlap between OS, browsers, IDEs and language runtimes (JVM, V8/Node etc.). It gets worse if you add containers and VMs.

I wonder how many garbage collectors, file abstractions, JITs, databases, schedulers, GUI engines, indexers and so on are running on my machine. How many flavors and versions of essentially the same libraries are used.

There is no unified vision, of what an OS/runtime/IDE/browser should be. There’s not even a common understanding!
