No. It is 100% A-OK for Ol' Muskie to ban who he wants for whatever spurious reasons he wants to post-hoc claim. It's his company, he can do that. 100%.

What people are correctly pointing out is that he rode in on his "FREE SPEECH IS GOOD" horse waving a "BOTS ARE BAD" banner, loudly proclaiming that "Only illegal speech will be banned", re-enabled a whole bunch of accounts for bigots based on bot-ridden unreliable polls, swerved hard to the alt-right lane, picked up a transphobic smoothie and blew both his feet off with a +100 Shotgun Of Hypocrisy by starting to ban people who mock, track, or report on him.

You seem to imply that for progress to be classified as “R&D” it MYST be published.

A huge amount of R&D is never published. Eg: lithography tech at ASML.
You sound like somebody that likes to crunch numbers, but doesn’t understand how most parents decide on these things. Or if you happen to have children, you’re unusually clinical about their health…

Anyway, the children’s vaccine was authorized in the EU on the 19th of October 2022, after all Omicron strains were making rounds through the population.

In Germany at first one dose was recommended for 12-17 then one plus booster. Kids younger than 12 may be vaccinated on a case by case basis if there’s risk factors or the parent explicitly wants it. This means that the risk of Long Covid in this age range is not a “bigger deal” than the benefits and risk from the vaccine.

According to the RKI, there were 1500 vaccinated in the age range 0-4. And between <10% and 30% in the range 5-12 depending on state.

In conclusion, your dogmatic approach is not supported by the competent health organizations. Neither is it supported by parents.

Fake news.

>You can see how that might be something a platform would want to suppress, not because they’re Democrat sleeper agents

They suppressed it because they were very awake Democrat agents.

>but because they don’t wanna be responsible for swaying the election because of fake news.

No they wanted to deliberately sway the election, because of their partisan alliance. You can read the story here:

Sure, they just... did it silently.
I lost 30 minutes trying to track down the same thing (any kind of official rationale for SHA2, or even contemporaneous public comment for 180-2) and yeah, my understanding as well is that the high-level design goal was hashes that had parity with AES.
How many degrees of separation from actually PII is allowed? Would posting a link to an account that posts a link to the tracker be an offense?

Banning people for posting a link to someone else possibly violating the rules seems like a step way too far.
There's history of this kind of thing spurring political action: what comes immediately to mind is the Video Privacy Protection Act, enacted after a reporter got hold of Robert Bork's video rental records. At the time, Bork was in the middle of a contentious (and ultimately failed) confirmation process to be named to the Supreme Court, and Bork's views on the lack of a constitutional right to privacy gave the writer an idea.

The actual movies were nothing interesting, but general distaste for the move, plus a healthy dose of worry from members of Congress about the contents their own records, led to a law that explicitly penalized video stores that handed out that kind of info about their customers.

I think you're right in general that people are pretty blasé about tracking now, though.
Teams holds the crown as far as terrible electron apps.

I actually can't run it locally (absurd tech policies), and I am so glad to never run it at all ever. Just easier to load it into an isolated browser tab when I need it, Zoom is so superior it's not even funny...

Publishing personal information should not be covered by "free speech" at all. It provides no value to society and can cause real harm to individuals.

Elon was wrong in that tweet. It would be much better to show zero tolerance to doxxing.

It doesn't matter if the data is already available from public sources - publishing aggregated personal information from public records is dangerous and should be banned.
Pro Se automatically reads and analyses privacy policies. It is free and comes in a form of web extensions and mobile applications.
If contracting a bad case of Covid 19 is enough to get anti-vax people to change their beliefs, perhaps that's pretty good evidence that maybe they haven't thought out the consequences of their position very well, after all.

As the kids say: "Fuck around. Find out." Or, as the olds say: "Play stupid games; win stupid prizes."
> Elon is definitely a victim of capitalism and patriarchy to some degree, as are other billionaire.

I'm curious to know why you're bringing the concept of "patriarchy" into this discussion? Do you think Musk's gender has anything to do with his actions and behavior?
What fascinating is that you have the famed muni-traya, Panini, Katyayan, and Patanjali. How could this be unadressed and unsolved by even Katyayan and Patanjali, and unaddressed in the Kasika, yet it took 2500 years later for a Cambridge phd candidate to crack it. If this is really the case, the man deserves much more than a PhD.

Furthermore Panini is predated by Yaskacharya and cites his famous Nirukta, which is still available today. Panini also cites other ancient grammars in his work. So the history goes back even further. It is remarkable that such fundamental discoveries are being made so many years later.
>1. Have your application look and act like a standalone application rather than a webpage

That sounds suspiciously like "properly adheres to the native OS's conventions", the lack of which is the #1 criticism of electron.
I hold VSCode to be at least equal to those achievements. Having used dozens of text editors and IDEs in the course of my programming career, I can appreciate how non-obvious it is for a piece of software this complex to work so fucking well all the time.

And considering how many people are empowered by the productivity gains VSCode brings, I'd say that the real-world impact of VSCode is also much greater than that of most of the projects you listed. VSCode has probably saved hundreds of millions of hours for programmers over the past few years. It's almost impossible to come up with an appropriate comparison for how important it is.
you mean grills? for your eyes? holy shite! did you just start the next trend in hiphop?
I haven't yet found a production-ready open source virtual display driver for Windows, but there are a lot of "code samples" out there that work, you just need to go through the painful process of compiling and installing them.
There's a big thread about this on the deskreen repo [0], maybe they've found something new since I last checked it.

There is, however, a very good remote virtual monitor solution called Spacedesk [1], which has a windows server (with virtual display driver included) and a JavaScript client that runs in any browser (it refuses to run in Firefox, but if you just comment out that line of code it works perfectly fine).

>With VSCode, you type the name of any programming language in the extension search, click "Install", and you have a world-class development environment for that language ready to go.

Same with Emacs. `M-x package-install`, type, RET.
You cherry picked stocks that went down and try to make that into argument.
You browser developers seem to already decided on it, so why asking at all. This “help us to choose but stay silent if you don’t like it” is pointless. I am well-informed on most of these nuances and don’t like any of these options. Will stick with sass unless forced to use some of that, I don’t care which you end up with.

My opinion is: provide a slow parser for my kilobytes of “style.kbcss” and do whatever you want with minified bootstrap megabytes and such. If you don’t feel like counting this opinion, fine. Build pipelines or makefile-likes or just a caching middleware is not a deal big enough to make drama out of it.

I see why you may find uninformed opinions irritating, but the only constructive thing here is to make your comment softer and put it into the header of that site. People may not visit links, may not understand what/why or may (surprise) not care about implications. If you care to make a poll that excludes some opinions in advance, prepare the auditory correctly.
> The rational part of me says he surely couldn't have spent $45 billion dollars to shut the account down, but it's kinda feeling more and more true as the story continues.

He could have banned the account on day 1, but he tweeted in defense of it. I don’t buy the theory that he had to wait to save face, he seems perfectly content to change his mind and make new rules on the spot without worrying about the backlash.

It seems more likely that he had idealistic reasons for buying the site and is becoming less idealistic as time goes on. Every worldview is flawed, you just don’t know it until you try to implement it. I think he’s moving past any initial altruistic aspirations and is now treating Twitter more like a tool that can be customized to achieve certain goals. I’m sure he thinks the goals are good for everyone, including himself, but from the outside it’s not mirroring the “public square”, “absolute free speech” mantras pre-acquisition.
ah, those famous sunrises with no UV protection whatsoever. fog would be a blessing
It was not missed, just allegedly misinterpreted.

The rules are not fully elaborated, we just have mnemonics similar to how children are taught trigonometric identities.
Good. There should be zero tolerance for anything that approaches doxxing.
It is a bit funny. Just few years ago most people said Twitter is mostly pointless, just a gimmick, and can't really compare to other social networks. It looks it has founds its niche in the end.
Trump's "Truth Social" is actually a Mastodon instance.

You do realize you can buy a $100 antenna on Ebay and pull the live-to-the-second location of every airplane in your visible sky, directly from the aircraft, right?

There are websites displaying this exact same data where you can watch US Military Air Tankers in active refuelling operations with both US and other nation's aircraft in active war zones.

The security risk is entirely overblown.
Uh, no, that just proves that he will do stupid shit on a whim regardless of any ramifications.

Basically, yes. But I suppose if you have to pick between an authoritarian who just goes with instantaneous whims, or one who puts a token effort into making rules even though he breaks them often, the latter seems better, even though both choices suck.

> Requiring such auctions would be a big change. The SEC says brokers send more than 90% of marketable orders to wholesalers. Unlike exchanges, which display price quotes publicly and allow a variety of market players to attempt to fill orders, wholesalers trade directly against the incoming retail flow, an arrangement that effectively prevents other market players such as institutional investors from interacting with individual investors’ orders.

Sounds like a sensible change to me.

i have geographically separated machines in my office that use zerotier and have flawlessly for the last 2 years to a point i stopped using a physical LAN because the upkeep is too much....

i have a high speed internet so the performance is on par and i personally spend my work hours on rustdesk (almost 750-80 hours a week)....

my only problem with tailscale has been the oath login which is significantly different than what zerotier does. (i just create the account, use the key on any random computer and authorize from the login, meaning no auth from user side).... i know headscale but that has to be selfhosted... eh

tailscale looks good tech without that imo

> To make this even more clear, let's make it concrete with one plausible future: In 2032, Waymo (or Didi, whoever) achieves true 'level 4' fully-self driving with proprietary technology. Their tech is seen in trucks, busses, taxis, as well as being equipped to a few thousand private vehicles.

I see no possibility where existing large automakers will let Google (Waymo) own the FSD stack (and thus own the data and huge piece of value chain) and be relegated to a mere maker of a dumb car.

And if GM is not going to buy Waymo tech, Tesla will definitely not.
Good to hear, what are you working on these days?
That is what people are doing with TSLA. Cherry picking one of many tech stocks that went down and trying to attribute to something other than macroeconomic factors.

All tech stocks took a dive.

Step inside a woodworking- or machine shop sometime and see how many of tools there you can instantly use with proficiency, with no instruction. (Please stand back from the table saws while trying this experiment.)

It’s wonderful and beautiful that we can get real work done with a heavy thing on a stick, but pretending every tool can be as simple as a hammer is not really arguing in good faith.
Really? They sound quite clearly like the prompt to me if I “squint my ears” a little
Loading large files need not have anything with Electron. The file can live in another child process either fully in memory or swapped to the filesystem. When you scroll you can load the required contents into the view (Electron). For searching you can build index or even perform search on the swap and show results accordingly.. It's complex but can be done with Electron (as proved by VSCode).
What a great name!

I don't like any framework that uses templates. I already know JS, let me use that. Also they usually work poorly with editors and TypeScript since they require custom syntax to be supported. I'll stick with JSX.

I didn't realize Mastodon only worked with JavaScript enabled. That sucks. I like Mastodon a lot, but this decision feels hostile.

Edit: Seems like they don't plan to change it either: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/6186
Apples and oranges. I think the doxxing policy makes sense. It's absolutely not okay posting people's real-time locations, especially for famous figures who are already targets.

I don't hear anybody criticizing the policy. Because it is right. Instead people are attacking Elon's past promise, as it is the only thing they can attack.

So maybe "absolute" free speech is not a very good idea after all. What matters is good moderation.
edit: originally referring to @krisnova tweets being shadow banned before thread moved.

It is more than shadow banning now. it's all but completely banned (or in the process of it).

No tweets showing on Nova's profile and the linked tweet is gone.
Please, Elon’s companies rely on so much establishment money in the US, the establishment’s control over its population in China, etc.. He’s as establishment as it gets. Just has a veneer of anti-establishment that, checks notes, leans right / authoritarian.
Rust's philosophy is "batteries not included". It's weird coming from Python or Go, where the standard libraries are much larger, but it makes sense for Rust: keep the standard library small and agile (especially as it is statically linked into every binary!) so that it can be backwards-compatible forever and easily ported to different platforms, etc.

For regex specifically, the usual "regex" crate is fantastic and provides very good performance guarantees (no exponential behaviour, ever!), unlike a lot of regex libraries. However, it also comes with the tradeoff of not supporting arbitrary lookahead/lookbehind or many regex extensions, so people needing those features might need a different crate.

There's a nice discussion on another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33510976
>Wrong. Good tools don't require that. Imagine someone showed you a complicated mechanical contraption and told you "it's a type of hammer, much better than the 'non-professional' hammer, but you need to 'get to know it' first". That product would be dead on arrival.

You mean like a nail gun? The kind that all professional roofers use?
As long as luxottica has a monopoly on glass for glasses (is that the correct english word? Is it lens?) I doubt we're going to see too much improvement in the wear-down. Maybe that's pessimistic of me, but there really hasn't been much innovation on glass for glasses in my 25 years of wearing glasses.

Maybe glass for glasses is at its zenith, but it's sort of hard to believe that when you look at something like smartphone screen changes over the past 10-15 years.
Since you apparently use the RSS feature could you explain how it works / what it does?

Lets start from faang, Amazon/meta/Netflix have high review bar, u r behold to biquaterlly review and sometimes quarterly review. If u havent heard of ura, go look it up. Google is somewhat more relaxed as their culture encouraging improving the employees instead of performance based firing outright but this might change, look it up regardless. apple's wlb is suprisingly bad as their very top down, of coz the pay is good.

Outside faang,twitter was famed to be a more relax place. its gone now after elon take over. stripe is famous for being aws 2.0. these are the places are either i worked at or have friends there. Also consider thr currently layoff is largely performance based

for wlb, 40-50 is the norm if u r good. if u are average in putting out the effort, i dont think u can survive the ramp up in the first year with less than 50h per week. companies like amazon doesnt even give u time to ramp up.

But if u survive the first 2 year, u r probably fine. An 'average' employee in this sense will be vastly capable of dealing with the org chaos and oncall, and churn out the commits at the same time. The wlb will be much better if he is in a stable org. He will be more experienced in gaming the reviews too.

Once again, i never mentioned the quality of the candidates, i only talk about the work and performance. i think most of the ppl are capable,just whether they really tried.
What's the point of moving to Mastodon if you still need to promote your posts on Twitter? This seems like cognitive dissonance... rage quit Twitter, only to gripe about Twitter features. Just use Mastodon.
The problem with that approach is that you end up with a system that is very good at solving programming problems of a particular kind, but does not generalise very well to arbitrary programming tasks. For example, their system will not have very good performance on, I don't know, leetcode (if it had, we'd have heard all about it).

So I don't doubt that we'll see better performance on Codecontests/ Codeforces in the future, perhaps some time next year (just to leave some time after the Nature publication). But not anything of substance. Or they'll just come up with a new dataset that their system performs well on.

To be honest, I'm scandalised that such a poorly thought-out approach got a publication in Nature. If I had tried to publish something like that in my field ("we made a firehose that spams code willy-nilly and by heuristic this and that got it to hit the right target 30% of the time! And we beat some humans at it!") I would have been shot down in flames, probably also ruined my reputation for good. But, I guess, it's DeepMind publishing in Nature so it's effectively a racket. One just shrugs and moves on.
It is the worst design ever, you can pick an instance and create an account there if you could trust the owner and your timeline isn’t too busy, but YMMV. UX is somewhat close to Twitter 2015, which is an upside.

Yes, thank you for reminding this forum, although I’m sure everyone here remembers or has already been made aware of this contradiction.

Can you argument this point further or is it enough to imagine it with a trollface meme?

Me personally, I argue that it was an exaggerated policy position to take. Under no circumstances should menacing, harassment, threats to personal safety be tolerated.

It’s definitely a good thing that Musk backtracked on this, as the previous policy would have been used to cover some outrageous behavior, such as invading the personal space of LGBTQ accounts, outing them at work, or even menacingly posting selfies in their neighborhood.

There are limits to speech, free speech is meant within the context of public sphere debate and politics.

This tit-for-tat confrontation has to be suppresses, or the verbal rioting that is online trolling will again spillover into IRL.
As pointed out in the article, the nesting syntax has to work in every setting that CSS works in today and has always worked in—from a hobbyist working alone on a side project to teams working on huge code bases and everything in between.

Because of the universality of the web, anyone from a kid in a developing country with a netbook and a text editor to teams at Fortune 500 companies need to be able to author CSS.

It's a non-starter to require all kinds of tooling—preprocessors, compilers, task runners, packagers, etc. to create web content. You can use these tools if it makes sense for a particular situation but it should always be optional.

BTW, browsers already use Just In Time compilers [1] to render CSS as efficiently as possible; all of the tooling you mentioned is mostly to reduce the size of CSS payloads over a network. Regardless if you minify CSS or not, its rendering speed isn't going to change.

With these tools, there's no compiling happening anyway, just transforming one text format (Sass) to another text format CSS. It's not like WebAssembly where code is compiled into a byte-code format that runs in a virtual machine.
