Correct answer. This is one of the few defaults that makes sense to change as it can be done at the OS level, which will then be inherited to the tens of different systems i use vi on a day.
Doing “No” Better
I doubt you actually mean this is the case for everyone. Obviously there are a lot of parents that don't feel this way. I have a recent example where a few years ago my friends dad (friend is ~35,dad is ~75) wanted the son to give up a kidney even though he had other health concerns and most likely wouldn't last a few more years regardless. That doesn't sound like love as I wouldn't even ask that of a good friend.

“BIPOC” labels people based on a hierarchy of perceived victimization by white people—with two specific groups given prominence as especially victimized. That’s a fucked way to come up with a label for people.

“BIPOC” people overwhelmingly don’t define their identity in terms of victimization by whites and don’t identify by that label. They identify instead with labels that reflect shared cultural, religious, national, or linguistic ties.

Incredible. Could it be retroactive ?
One of my first jobs was throwing out literally tons of bound periodicals at a college library. They were already in JSTOR and other databases, and other libraries had many copies. The whole campus had 6 months to grab whatever they wanted from the list. Other libraries and institutions had years.
Nevertheless i filled a cargo container sized dumpster with the unwanted volumes and felt weird doing it. Some passerby clearly disapproved and i told them they were welcome to whatever they wanted, but in the end no one actually wanted a hundred pound set of obscure medical journals from the 1980s in their own home. I saved some of the older and more beautiful items, some from the late 1800s, but even those couldn't be given away in necessary volume and what i grabbed was just a drop in the bucket. They remain in my parent's basement. Perhaps now there is a more efficient way to crowd source saving such items.

Sorry to hear. My mother had cancer in her spine for many years (10+) before she passed.

I hate cancer. Instead of building weapons of war, we should be building tools to help completely control it, for all cancers, for all people, so it is no longer this UNKNOWN thing that keeps us up through the night, wondering, worrying when our time will be.
Post (https://post.news) is probably the closest to a well funded Twitter clone that I’ve seen. Very similar UX. Supposed to have more emphasis on publishers but that’s not very apparent yet in my feed there.

I have the following in Stylus:

td { color: inherit; }
.togg { float: left; margin-right: .5em; } /* Collapse button to the left */
.comment { line-height: 1.4em; } /* Bit more line-height */

The thing I miss the most is the ability to clearly cite/quote things, whether it's other posts or something from an article. Yes, you can use ">", maybe wrapped in italics, but I find it pretty unclear, especially for longer texts. You can have some user CSS or whatnot to clarify that, but that won't work for the majority of folks reading your post.

- Identify your goals. Are you blogging for extra income? Do you want to connect with a specific kind of reader, and grow a like-minded community? Do you want to be the best resource on the internet for a subject you love? Are you trying to get a new job? Will you write a book about this subject someday? Your goals inform how you'll promote your content.

- Write THE authoritative post on a subject you are deeply passionate about. For me, this is "tiny machine learning," especially computer vision for single-board computers. A few of my posts are keyword-authoritative for "Raspberry Pi TensorFlow."

patio11's salary negotiation post is a great example of an authoritative post. I've been linking my team-mates to this blog post 2x times a year since it was published, during raise/perf seasons. https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/

- Publish on a consistent schedule. I struggle with this one, but every successful blog I know posts at least weekly. You'll have more hits the more times you step up to the plate.

- Publish via multiple channels. I run a self-hosted Ghost blog & newsletter, and use Zapier to cross-post to medium.com. Make sure you provide a canonical URL, which tells search engines that your blog is the original source.

- Submit guest posts to a popular publication (again, use a canonical link back to your primary domain)

Example: https://medium.com/towards-data-science/3-ways-to-install-te...

If you inspect the HTML source, you'll see a rel="canonical" link element with href="https://www.bitsy.ai/3-ways-to-install-tensorflow-on-raspber..." telling search engines to index my original post.

- Social media audience. I only have around 2k followers on Twitter, but that generates around 90k impressions each month. My 2023 goal is to write for my LinkedIn network too, which has grown to 1k+ connections.

Posting articles on your main social feed can be effective, but what's more effective is to reply to other people's Twitter threads. Build a library of authoritative posts about something specific, like how to write a Gstreamer plugin in Rust. When you can genuinely add value to a conversation, I think it's ok to mention that you wrote about ____ in Twitter replies. If you don't have a blog post already written, you can write an outline on the spot using Twitter. If the cliff notes version gets positive feedback, you can write the full thing.

Aw man! No one could have seen this coming!
That blog post doesn't show that retail thefts were not a reason to close SF Walmart.

The guy found out that in 2017 Walmart decided to close some stores and concluded "aha! closing SF store has nothing to do with rampant and obvious theft but it was part of that program to close stores".

Except the program ended in 2020 and SF store closing was in 2121. It's right there in text supposedly "proving" it's not because theft.

Plus Walgreen explicitly said it's because theft.

There's willful ignorance involved in parsing this information to conclude that it's not theft.

When we cure cancer, I'll back down. Until then, in memory of the folks I have lost and with empathy to those experiencing it or watching loved ones experience it, fuck cancer.
Interesting thought. Also curious on consequences.
Well, in the case of personal property, I would, yes - it's insured? It'd have to be something pretty important for me to feel like attacking the thief, unless they were threatening me or my family. I sympathize with retailers getting robbed repeatedly, and obviously that'd make you angry, potentially desperate, (and I expect judges might be more sympathetic if they resorted to violence), but what I'm sensing in this thread is a "kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" approach to rule-breaking, which I can't get on board with. Self-defense can be proportionate, or not - shooting someone who shoved you is not going to pass that test in most courts.

Why would anyone believe it was ever about "free speech". You would need to be pretty oblivious to buy that line of reasoning. He will moderate & censor those voices he disagrees with, as he sees fit. It'd just make him less of a hypocrite if he dropped the whole "free speech" charade.
This UI and Youtube's UI for transcripts are really nice. When I'm looking for a particular piece of information I can just Ctrl+F and click on the match to play from there.

> We recognize that certain social media platforms provide alternative experiences to Twitter, and allow users to post content to Twitter from these platforms. In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above.

This is just about people who basically stop using Twitter and post a link to follow their profile on a different social media site instead, not about posting links in general.
Reading through the suggestions a lot seem out of date, ignorant of the actual experience of people, and insufficiently justifies the change. It’s true that many of these things have been accepted by peer institutions but that was long ago (some of these suggestions track to the 1950s and have little to no salience in 2022).
Sure the price will go up a little, but nowhere near the raw economic damage society at large will pay for people needing to get things like overheating implants removed.

So is it only the official “verified” account that can promote their alternative or can any individual pay twitter to promote the platform as a way to circumvent this policy?

Feels not well thought out.

Career choice. Elective surgeries.

You’re here talking to a group largely composed of people who won the career lottery. Did all of your college friends fare so well? How about high school? Hell in middle school and high school I had people trying to talk me out of software as a career because we were on one of the three AI hype cycles I’ve personally lived through.

It’s the rare, inspirational person who says Fuck It, I’m Starting Over in their thirties or even later. Many of the losers just live lives of quiet desperation. Those are the people I was thinking about above.
Wow. That would be "nearly every modern gas vehicle in north America".

Seriously. Running a cold petrol engine under low load in freezing conditions only for heating i just simply a bad idea. Never understood how this is even remotely OK in the US. This is illegal in most of Europe. And for good reason.

If it is around Celcius -40 then you would never turn off the vehicle. And a bit over that - there is always the Russian option of having a large candle below the oil tray (bad english, but you get it... under the engine) for pre heating. The more mainstream option is plugged in electric heating of coolant water.

I remember from my days in the Swedish army that there was a pre heating scheme for the drivers where specific spots on trucks APC's and such should be heated by gas light.

Usually it is sufficient to start the engine, clean the windows from ice, and then get going. A short engine running time without load for letting oils and fluids melt is only sane. Actually heating the cabin is nothing but wasteful.
I am not sure why the Raspberry Pi Pico abandoned the 40 pin interface. It would be really cool to be able to develop C or Python code both under Linux, for ease of editing and debugging, and then run it on a microcontroller.

Google bought the seed that became Android. The startup had only been working on the mobile phone OS concept for about a year when Google acquired it in 2005 (originally they'd planned a camera OS). The first public Android phone wasn't released until 2008.
I see a lot of other things that can happen. What ever happens it will be interesting to watch from the side lines. Some other possibilities :

(c) Twitter's server stack collapses as changes are rolled out and it can't be fixed In a reasanble amount of time resulting in a mass exadus.

(d) they can't make their debt payments and can't pay their workers which will then all leave. Twitter is already behind of paying rent in some places.

(e) Twitter's board members have to show up to congress because of some scandal that playd out on the platform

This looks incredibly awful. People aren't allowed to plug their Instagrams for self or brand promotion? This seems like something that will definitely hurt small artists looking to spread their reach and expand their businesses in terms of finding commissions and customers. This seems backwards and genuinely unhinged
I had the same problem and found that the extreme was the only thing that worked for me. What I mean is that for like 3 months make your first priority to work out. Not your second or your "one-of-the-important-ones" priority. Your first. Absolute first.

After 3 months your body will adjust and you will carve workout and built a habit that is easier to follow.

I wouldn't think of wind and solar as competition to fusion. Fusion power would have a different role in future electricity grids. Both would be complementing each other, rather than being a replacement.

Solar and wind are comparatively cheap and quick to deploy and are great solutions for decentralised power generation. Wherever reliable continuous power is required, however, other methods of power generation have to step in. This could also still change of course, depending on how storage technology progresses. But the cheap super-battery is probably just as ambitious as fusion power is today.
Thanks!

Didn't know about Pike :) Looks interesting, though it is based on a static analysis approach which has its downsides since it might not look the same as the actual activity.

AirIAM was an inspiration for us - it is generally good to group users together and for finding unused policies. We focus on generating an exact policy per identity.
All Elon had to do was not throw a tantrum and he couldn’t even do that.

Unions don't add economic value, hence why employers don't like them. The way they secure higher pay is by going on strike, not by offering more production or value.

He was driving a Ford and I was driving a Toyota. All of his tools as far as I could tell were top quality stuff that if not still made in the US / Canada were at one point. (He was helping me change out a wheel bearing)

I’d say for the most part this guy walked the talk as far as I could tell.

My point was not to validate / invalidate his point of view but to show what the POV is for anyone who hopes to get more people on the globalization train.
> On the subject, is there any compelling reason to use Windows 11 rather than Windows 10?

WSLg, although it was developed on Windows 10 and only 'requires' Windows 11 by way of anti-feature.

(You can use other X11 display servers on Windows 10 but the UX sucks compared to WSLg, even though WSLg is a bit of a buggy mess.)
Depends on why it is being done.
And how does one do that if every post to mastodon is flagged as malware?

Nah, Messi was already part of that set for many years, and today he added the only thing missing in his career. Messi is the sole GOAT.

> I don't welcome IPv6 everywhere

Huh? What about it? As in the v4 case you should put your network behind a firewall, hiding it from access from outside. If you’re referring to NAT you can use it with v6 too, though I don’t think it’s reasonable - NAT doesn’t add much security and it shouldn’t be used as a security mechanism.
Thats got to be the worst possible decision for Twitter to possibly make. What good is a social media platform that prohibits links to other platforms?

I use FB, Twitter, Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Discord, etc for a variety of purposes and find and share great content across platforms.
This seems to be lost in the storm: “we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms.”

Just another money grab — doesn’t make it much nicer but not an outright ban.

Wow. How will the free speech absolutists twist this as being pro free speech?

This policy makes Twitter the least free speech social media platform available.

I wonder how this will work for official Twitter accounts for those other social media platforms? Will @facebook be banned/blocked?

Also what about news services that link to a longer form story on alternative platforms?
Both jk and kj appear in normal writing for me :(

I briefly considered a foot pedal but it seems to me that foot dexterity is far lower than finger, meaning typing ihello<esc> is FAR faster than <pedal down>hello<let go>, not to mention that pedal travel is way longer.

Of course you map esc to caps.
Plenty of social networks thrive while letting users link to other social networks. TikTok is famous for linking to YouTube.

This is a sign of a bad product.
