Careful with Amazon.

I bought a ton of MP3 records off their platform over the years, and recently it all went to hell. I'll take responsibility for not downloading it all right away, but I still think their recent behavior was sketchy.

My mistake was listening to the music that I owned using Amazon's music player. I'd download it locally to whatever device I was using, but my collection was large enough that I rarely kept it all on my mobile devices. When they changed their subscription model for amazon music I no longer was able to stream my music that I had bought. I couldn't even download it on mobile. Zero explanation of what happened.

Instead I had to login on my desktop, and download tracks one by one. It was painfully slow and totally unintuitive.

Keep in mind this all happened without explanation as it relates to music you owned, but still resided on their servers. It was pretty clear that they wanted you to sign up for the new streaming service and we're making it hard to get to your music otherwise.
both those options are bad UX and papercuts that cause me to not want to use it. if you "just" have to take a second step or prepare your environment in a particular way for the most important part of a social network, following someone, that's a dealbreaker.
Why does Twitter need Musk if he allows public polling to make critical decisions about the company?
A specification is written to solve a problem of some kind.

It is surprisingly often that people try to write a specification without fully understanding the problem - the steps are Problem Identification, Requirements Capture, Specification.

This is especially the case with user requests, they often don't specify the problem in their request, but provide their desired solution, which may not be optimal across the system, or may not have considered all the possible options at the right level.

The requirements should solve the problem, and the specification should address the requirements.

If you break it down in this way then is can become easier.

On large conventional engineering projects as much as 15% can be spent on these first phases, and then a decision made whether to fund or not.
People asked, how much power could provide human.

"The Gossamer Albatross is a human-powered aircraft built by American aeronautical engineer Dr Paul B MacCready's company AeroVironment. On June 12, 1979, it completed a successful crossing of the English Channel to win the second Kremer prize worth £100,000 (equivalent to £538,000 in 2021)" ... "In still air, the required power was on the order of 300 W (0.40 hp), though even mild turbulence made this figure rise rapidly"

I am not so sure because YouTube keeps track of watch time. If no one watches past 2 minutes, then I think that would also be penalized, though I have no insight into the algorithm so I am not sure.
They have built six working devices. These have not achieved the end goal yet, but the results have been enough to open the money spigots for more funding.

Really, what is your problem here? I get a strong Dunning-Kruger impression from your objections. You think you know more than you do.

Example: your objection to recovery of energy from the magnetic field. This is not hard to understand! They increase the magnetic field to compress the FRC. This heats the particles adiabatically, just like a piston compresses a gas. And JUST LIKE A PISTON, this is a completely reversible process: allowing the FRC to expand again does work on the coil, sustaining its current and allowing energy to be extracted.
In the context of politics, I think Murdoch's other American holdings (namely Fox and the NY Post) are arguably more important and relevant.
Here's an interview from the time. It doesn't support your claim. I don't know of others.

We already have something like this at Meta for improving developer experience. All our dev environments are remote
> Best thing Elon should have done was to focus only on the technical aspects of Twitter

The problem with this is that Twitter didn't have any technical problems that it needed Musk to solve. "Bots" were not a major problem for day-to-day usage. What it needed was a product vision to reach sustainable profitability. Not a huge amount of additional debt, massive internal disruption, and a catastrophic reputational collapse.
The greatest thing Elon could do would be to donate Twitter to the United Nations.
"Gleeful cruelty" is how his bullying tweets come off to me, yeah. He does the thing where he plays it off like he's just joking, just like every other bully out there, but he's being cruel, and enjoying it.

Why is there input lag?

I’ve used something identical and mosh makes this just work. Most devs at that company swear by remote builds and hate laptop builds
haha, would love to for fun, but not a good business move as consumer network based products are hit driven/hard to cold start/etc., and already 100% dedicate to trying to get my own startup off the ground. Would be a fun project though, and I did take a first stab at a social network with a gaming clip sharing site once, but quickly realized this is a very hard space with very low probability of success when you're competing against a bunch of incumbents that have a network to work with already.
One of Twitter's "trending topics" now?

Not on the first poll.
Sorry, I'm not sure I'm parsing this right, you're saying "security updates are necessary and I as a user am going to have worse outcomes for not updating my stuff"?

My personal experience does not match this at all, so is the explanation there that I'm just lucky?
You can bet that in many countries the conservative right is more the left that the Democrats.

Inter-cultural policy differences aren't new and being able to moderate on an international online forum like Twitter is pretty challenging.
Probably, though I couldn't point to any particular instance. People definitely catch short "off-topic" bans for shit-talking the jannies though.

Most of 4chan is moderated, but poorly, inconsistently, and capriciously. Each board has its own set of rules, which are sometimes enforced and sometimes not, with different enforcement rates on different boards. Also there are global rules which are generally not enforced, except when they are.
2026 uses existing stadiums so it will be much, much less
Mass transit is often less cost (and therefore environmentally) efficient than private vehicles per passenger mile. Multi-ton busses and trains run empty most of the time. A self-driving car never wastes a trip.

That guy hasn't asked a hard question in his life. He has guests spew obvious nonsense and then responds with IKR before lobbing his next softball. He would be a yes man to the people who report to him.
Well yeah, leaving is exactly what people are doing. Nobody I know is arguing he can't do whatever he wants with Twitter. But they are voting with their feet.
Heh this blew up here :D Didn't know till a friend told me about it.

I'd love to know if you guys have any specific questions about copilot's internals that I can try to answer by staring at the code or if you have any feedback for the tool/post!
The writing of history (historiography) is not meant to be a minutely detailed account of everything that happened. History is a narrative, a story about how we came to be here, and sees the past with a particular lens. I think this particular history was meant to bring appreciation of influential yet obscure and niche languages for the current generation of developers and software engineers. I doubt it was meant to be definitive or exhaustive.

In fact, at the very bottom of the article, there is a link to the Encyclopedia of Programming Languages with over 8000 entries. The influence of Smalltalk’s “everything is an object” on Objective-C and Ruby is probably in there somewhere.

Disclosure: I wrote Ruby professionally for over ten years, and learned the basics of OOP with ObjC back in the 90s. I get the significance of Smalltalk’s object model.
I think the model to handle this is similar to how Computer Algebra Systems have been handled.

Or one could write a good ChatGPT detector.
I definitely agree that Twitter, as a proof of its concept, failed pretty spectacularly. But I also feel like that was due to a confusion of focus at the company, realized as a desire to be an ad-supported platform that championed a libertarian ideal of 'free speech'. That dissonance hurt them a lot, to my mind.

Amazon, on the other hand, has no such dissonance and has a very profitable advertising arm that could happily benefit from yet more digital real estate. Of all the players out there, Amazon already does massive hosting AND competent ad scheduling across diverse device ecosystems. It just seems like they've got all of the technical side pretty much already up and running; they just need to strap it together in a specific package and ship it.

I know - easier said than done; and who knows what other priorities they're worried about that might not cooperate with owning a "digital town square". For all I know, there's some monopoly law that they'd have to screw with, too.

But all of this is to say: they seem well-positioned, so I'm just idling musing on why they haven't capitalized on it. Your reasoning is as good as any other I've heard. /shrug
If he wanted to? The man has his own ICBMs and a fleet of land-based remote control bombs in Tesla, not to mention access to all archived DMs on Twitter. There's no way he pulls anything off, because we don't live in a comic book, but it's worrisome to realize that such an "eccentric" visibly has that kind of access.

"Time duration units can be seconds (s), minutes (m) or hours (h), or a combination of these. A value of forever is also valid, to postpone updates indefinitely:"
...
"If no duration is specified, the time duration defaults to forever."

Just running "snap refresh --hold" should disable snap updates permanently. If you configure your system update script/tooling to unhold the snaps so security fixes can still be installed at the appropriate time, this should mean that no unexpected updates should occur.

You could probably even attach the snap unhold + snap refresh + snap hold flow to the APT hooks somehow, integrating snap updates with apt upgrade.
Heads I win, tails you lose.

If the poll result says he should step down, he'll say "I'll be stepping down once I've found a suitable replacement" - which is exactly the same sort of thing he's been saying since the acquisition [0]

It sure generates massive amounts of publicity for Twitter and Musk though.

>"To illustrate the extent to which Rupert Murdoch used to micro-manage his newspapers,..."

The 2011 article you linked emphasizes his activity with tabloid newspapers. I'm unfamiliar with those. From what I've read, he doesn't meddle with his "prestige" newspaper like WSJ. Maybe that's why the WSJ didn't censor itself on negative Theranos stories even though he invested $125 million in it and Elizabeth Holmes asked him to kill the articles.

You can do the simple remapping. The “tap for escape, hold for control” takes additional software.
I am a big Musk critic, but I think his rise demonstrates a genius for hype and PR. The amount of free media and cheap capital that Tesla got was extraordinary, and I think that was down to Musk.

But I think Musk is also a good example of the reason that I would probably not work for a company whose head is a sales guy. Salespeople are great at hype, but they often do it by living in a fantasy land, and someone insufficiently connected to reality is in charge, things can get wacky. I knew of one place where the CEO was absolutely great at closing deals, but he would do it by promising more new features than the company could build. The well-meaning tech people did their best, but rushing to meet the CEO's promises meant a worse and worse code base, with bug counts skyrocketing and feature velocity slowing.

At Tesla and SpaceX, he apparently had competent people in charge to buffer his impulses and direct him toward what he's good at. But here we see that fantasy dynamic play out as he absolutely flails around trying to run a business that he doesn't really understand after firing most of the people who did and terrifying the remainder. If anything, I think the Twitter saga demonstrates that on his own, he's actually bad at a bunch of core business skills.
Some goalkeepers are better. Some players are better. Both can be tired, or nervous. Each flip has a different weight. Anyway, people underestimate the amount of randomness in penalties.

"eratic Elon twitter" - ignoring the news, what exactly is erattic about twitter right now? Doesn't it basically work exactly the same?
You're probably right about that. But HBO shows? Those are surely all archived by the file sharers the article pretends don't exist.
I would also second Ghostwire as a great play - strong story, fun combat, moves along at a good clip, also visually very pretty.

Don't worry about 100%ing the game on the first play through, just have fun. There's a small handful of side missions that will become locked if you don't finish them - the game lets you know which ones before you move forward (it doesn't trick you!), and frankly, they're fun and story based so it's worth doing them anyways! There is no bonus content for a 100% playthrough.
No, I did not. I read it recently when searching for turbulence, not even searching for the Cybertruck. I’ll try and find the article again. The article you posted doesn’t say anything though and refers to a Reddit post that isn’t even linked, that I could find.
Ask HN: Why do we still build the web in XML?
I know that JSX and HTML aren't XML, but they practically are. Yes, there are template engines, and markdown, but they both transpile to HTML, and because of that they're forced or at least limited by it's basic "isms" of structure. Or have I not been using the right ones??

> There is nothing about Musk’s history and management style that is even remotely close to what could be called “scientific first principles type of thinking”.

Agreed. But the interesting question for me is: what are people seeing that they would mistake for that?
> What's really driving him is Elon the father that views leftism and woke as a mind virus that had possessed his child.

I don't think this is his motivation, because if it was, this isn't how he'd go about doing it. I mean, maybe it is - but if so, he's doing a lousy job affecting any kind of change in his child. I suppose that's on brand for him.

Personally I think he doesn't give a fuck about anything because $$ and just does whatever comes to mind (cf. his twitter poll about stepping down).
Software companies made no money before subscriptions? How did they last decades?

Introduction

The love and relationships that we have in our lives can be the most important things to us. They give us meaning, purpose, and comfort. However, sometimes those relationships can be hard to maintain. They require work on both ends—you need to put effort into your relationship if you want it to last, but so does your partner!

Accepting someone for who they are and not trying to change them into an ideal that suits you,

Acceptance is the first step to having a healthy relationship. It’s also the first step in letting go of your expectations, which can be paralyzing and lead to disappointment.
Read from our related articles:

Acceptance doesn't mean approval or tolerance. Acceptance requires effort on your part, so you may have to do things that don't feel comfortable at first; it's not always easy for us humans! But once you've accepted someone for who they are and are not trying to change them into an ideal that suits you, then everything else becomes easier—especially being able to communicate effectively with each other about what works for both partners (and sometimes even without words).

Helping them with mundane tasks, like making dinner or driving them to work,

The best way to show your partner that you are able to do things on your own is by being able to ask for help when you need it. This can be as simple as saying, "I'm going out tonight. I'll be back before midnight." It shows them that you understand the importance of time management and have a plan in place for when things get busy or chaotic.

Read from our related articles:

If you're also looking for ways to improve your relationship with their friends, consider getting involved in activities with them outside of just hanging out at home together! There's nothing wrong with spending some quality time together while enjoying some delicious food (and maybe even some drinks). You don't have anything better going on right now anyway, right?

I have him blocked. Surprisingly, I can still click through and it looks like I could vote if I wanted to (which feels like a bug, but, eh, probably not Twitter's biggest issue right now).
To be clear, he signed a firm contract to buy it; the courts only (would have) forced him to honor the contract he signed.
I didn't realise he was robbed by all of the homeless people, actually I'm rather impressed now that I know that. Was it purposeful? How does one get robbed by so many people?

John Carmack isn't doing anything, give it to him.
I work in a news-adjacent industry. As far as I can tell nobody on the news side is “scared out of their mind”. There is concern over the whole “rich guy takes over town square” aspect, a bit of concern over the “increasingly arbitrary ban policy” bit, but nothing you couldn’t easily find as top-voted comments on HN or Reddit, and nothing I’d describe in anywhere near as strong terms as what you used. Maybe some of the smaller new media reporting outlets that are more likely to catch a ban they can’t fight for saying something Elon doesn’t like feel more vulnerable, IDK.
VCs aren't good predictors of proper business sense either, and this economic downturn proved exactly that.
Rules dropping out of the blue around flight tracking, not being able to link to other social media sites, the confusing verification issue with all the fake/parody accounts, mass banning of journalists for linking to reporting he didn’t like etc. Old Twitter had none of this.

As I said above, I have opinions about each of the languages I have learned.
The problem I see is that at these types of speeds, timing skew is going to be a crucial issue. Latency will dominate the design. I can see a design much like early computers with delay lines used as RAM. You could keep a series of packets in a fiber, and then operate on it at the appropriate time.
It’s hard to take things away from people and charge the same amount of money and not have a consumer friendly reason for doing it. Even casual access to programming content.

Hopefully, this means that when he steps down he will just shut down the service and close it out.
You're arguing that he shouldn't, only you have no leverage to do so.
Oh, for sure. But given his behavior, either he didn't believe it was a firm contract or he just thought firm contracts applied to other people, not him. Either way, I'm sure it's a very stressful experience. Stress that he has richly earned, I must add. I just think it helps explain why he's flailing around with such vigor.
