The problem here is, that an esp32 is not an alternative for a RPi,... it's a totally different kind of a device, that is only suitable in cases, where rpi was a clear overkill. This is like replacing a truck with a bicycle... if a bicycle was enough in the first place, there's no point in even using a truck for such a simple task.

The real alternatives are many other linux-based single-board computers (from <other fruit>Pis onwards)... sadly most of them come and go, and trying to find a recent OS image (with working binary blobs) for eve a 6 months old devices is proving to be hard.
It's just easier and faster to implement a 'block-all' filter and refine it later if needed. The outrage is pretty hilarious given that less than 0.0001% of Twitter users even know what is Mastodon. No one cares that your precious Mastodon instance got filtered for a few days. No harm done.
From the very bottom of the Mastodon front page:
"Sponsorship does not equal influence. Mastodon s fully independent."
This has never worked in the history of everything.
If it becomes a popular trend for youtube channels to upload YouTube videos that are just previews with a links to Rumble videos, and the destination videos violate YouTube TOS, if YouTube created a Rumble filter to quickly address it, it would solve the problem.

Would it be accurate to call this censorship or a quick and dirty solution against accounts trying to evade TOS?

Framing the Mastodon filter by omitting that context is insincere. This type of insincerity is fairly typical in politics (which this entire ordeal is).
Thanks for taking time to comment, I'm realizing the message turned out vague. My main point was that, while I do set up on a year-long "journey", the specific techniques are not as important as handling motivation. "The map" basically boils down to practice, and the biggest part of the "journey" is going to be how I keep up the motivation.
I somewhat hope so but my personal preference is Mastodon. Journalists are one of the larger demographics for Twitter so I think it's smart in theory that Post targets them. Twitter's draw was the flow of information like a crowdsourced newswire, so it'll fail in "stealing" journalists until it "steals" others.

TL;DR Less of a foregone conclusion than you say.
Alcohol is a terrible drug and kills you in a known fashion, but you don't buy a can of beer from the store and then die from drinking that can because it was actually bleach, because alcohol is legal and regulated product. Drug addicts hooked on oxy getting their fix off the street are getting killed because street supply is dirty and inconsistent. Having a consistent supply would lead to fewer accidental deaths from unknown supply.
Musk could have kept twitter that universal platform and keeping an eye on political interference from within, knowing that right wing people would just trust him doing the right thing.

But no, he wanted to make a big public outcry out of it, and he's now reaping the consequences.
Peer to peer networks, with servers being purely optional for convenience (for convenient access from mobile, for example). Nothing about the social experience -- including your identity -- being tied to the "server" you're using to access the network. Technology has advanced since the invention of IRC.
I like how Mastodon is becoming the new Outkube:

Indeed. The whole point all along was that Twitter as a private company could moderate content as it saw fit. Let us now try and score some internet points by pointing out that the new buyer disagreed with that idea enough to spend $44 billion to correct it. However once it was their private company and their opinions that could control the content, suddenly that idea of private control of a private entity is excellent and as it should be! This is simply one person changing their very publicly and steadfastly held opinion once the facts align to their own benefit.

> fragments the community

I think this is a feature for most communities to be honest. Twitter is great at inter-networking, and a decent soap-box, but communities there are shallow and when your audience is "everyone on the platform" the chilling effect means only certain types of people are participating honestly and in full. There's probably some great communities that happen to be on twitter in spite of there being almost no open functionality that helps with that, but I bet they would all grow and foster better conversations if they added a discord server or something similar. Twitter is about as good as a blog comment section for long-term community building.

Poke was a facility of the language - it was a keyword built right in. I was referring to using it to put a machine code routine into memory via BASIC, but yes you certainly could and did control screen memory directly using it, this was also very accessible because there was typically a fixed region of memory with a simple logic to its layout that made that direct connection and feedback available.
It's sad that it appropriated the existing phrase, to mean something mean. Thereby obliterating the positive meaning. I thought this was obvious.
Not OP but I can say that the times I have submitted a link to TheLounge were the times people would be saying {x} is better than IRC because it has chat persistence. TheLounge in private mode has chat persistence. I felt it was useful to share because in my opinion there should be more self-hosted censorship resistant options available to people for what it's worth.

Another nice feature is simplicity. On Alpine Linux I was able to set up a working demo of NGIRCD+TheLounge+Nginx in about 10 minutes though I already had Nginx installed with a cert so I guess that number is cheating. It's probably more like 15 minutes. I would have preferred setting up a demo of UnrealIRCD vs NGIRCD but that code is still in the testing repo on Alpine and I don't want to assume people are going to compile something.

[Edit] It appears thelounge is not in Alpine 3.17 but remains in 3.16. Maybe they ran into a dependency bug.
> * Healthcare - as a naturalised brit I will never understand the sacrosanct nature of the NHS. We plough a ton of money into something that is very equitable but is terrible for outcomes. Most folks who have money I know always tend to go private rather than dealing with a 6 month wait for a routine check up.

The deterioration of the service is intentional and fairly recent. A large part of that "ton of money" is funnelled straight into private hands thanks to the initiatives put in place by our criminal government.

"Right to choose": Public money funding private healthcare instead of being put towards expanding the capacity of the NHS in that area.

Private consultants: Paying a private company to poach NHS specialists who are then contracted back at a much higher rate.

Agency nurses: Paying nurses so poorly that they leave the profession, resulting in a staffing shortage. Then paying a private agency double to triple the wage of a staff nurse.

Private providers: Preventing the NHS from providing services under it's remit and instead handing public money over to private enterprises.

> ADS-B information is broadcast unencrypted in real time from every civilian aircraft all the time.

ADS-B information is available publicly, but what's not always available publicly is which aircraft (or rather, which aircraft identifier) belongs to whom.

Specifically, if an aircraft is subscribed to this program, then it receives a new temporary identifier every month, unconnected to the owner:

https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy

And Elon's jet is subscribed to this program, as confirmed by Elon himself: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603803508087537665

So I think the problem is not tracking some airplane, the problem is connecting an airplane identifier to its owner by other means and then publicly broadcasting that information (i.e. make it easily accessible), when its owner has requested the government for privacy protection under a government program which was specifically designed to provide that exact type of privacy protection.
Oh i wrote the book ^^, that's why.
It still blows my mind too that there isn’t a single opinionated framework. Imagine how much further forward JS would be. Rails is still an order of magnitude more productive than anything we have tried on JS, but everyone asks for JS because easier to find people. Truly maddening that JS somehow grabbed the popularity crown.

I really like the audio on TBA. Would love to hear feedback on my app, if possible, especially if you're using another breathing app regularly. It is quite a different approach, partly because hopefully it will be used to quantify breathing function one day.
why does it take months though?

in these situations the payment provider absolutely has the upper hand, and they abuse it in the name of safety. the same way Amazon treats their merchants like shit, because there is an endless queue of fools to try to "start a business"

it's the same security theater that is done at airports. there are always suspicious things. false positive rate be damned.

if there's a suspicion, that the card used may have been "stolen" then freeze it, call the end user. it takes a few days at most, right? banks do this all the time, usually these are cleared in minutes.

if the bank cannot reach the user, ask the merchant to ask the user to call the bank.

these are clear and trivial steps to do. yet instead there's "investigation" by the useless middleman.

> I think a significant proportion would feel obliged to go along with it, as irrational as this may seem.

It doesn't sound irrational to me. It's doctor's job to describe the available options, possible outcomes, and give recommendations. With enough trust, stating euthanasia as one of the best paths implicitly says: everything else is likely worse - do you really want to go through suffering that has the same end result anyway. And there will be lots of situations where that's literally true.

> Converted Americans from citizens to consumers

No, that was the purpose of Indian schools. [1]

The European immigrants were already knowingly part of the great experiment: a capitalist nation from its birth. All of the colonies had economic goals, even those pilgrims [2] we're taught were being purely religious.

In general, the rise in consumerism [3] started a generation or two before Stewart's existed, so I wouldn't blame them for that. And American consumerism as we know it today is usually traced to the end of WWII. [4] It was due to rapid industrialization and a bunch of managers trained [5] for the war effort combined with the G.I. Bill creating a better educated populace. It wasn't long until the invention of the teenager [6] and it was all downhill [7] from there.

Show HN: Better Interviews
Has anyone else been struggling to get a good signal on the candidates you've been interviewing?

I've been interviewing Software Engineers for almost ten years now and it hasn't gotten any easier. I struggled to get a good read on each candidate and I couldn't easily compare them with each other.

That is, until recently. I discovered a pretty simple tool for judging candidates. I call this tool "interview signals". They are five "yes" or "no" questions that I answer about each candidate that I'm interviewing for a role.

These consistent questions help me compare candidates across a standard set of criteria. Suddenly, it becomes much easier to compare candidates to each other.

There are a ton of other benefits too. I can now write up interview feedback in just a few minutes. It used to take me thirty minutes to an hour. I also have a helpful way to guide candidates through the interview. If they haven't touched on an area where I know I need a signal, I can prompt them to focus on that area. After all, my goal is to help candidates do their best in an interview, not make them fail!

Better Interviews (betterinterview.club) encapsulates this idea in a simple workflow.

The tool is totally free because I just want to help us make interviews better and fairer for everyone.

In this spirit, I encourage you to check it out, give it a try, and let me know if it helped you make better hiring decisions.

Also, as you make these interview signals, I encourage you to share them with your candidates. The idea is to set them up for success. They can best prepare to show you their skills in the areas you care most about.

Thanks everyone, and good luck with your hiring!

Whatever the law or reason, there has to be a minimal correspondence.

It has everything to do with assessing what the desirable state of things would be.

It makes perfect sense to examine the positives and negatives, in this case I'd suggest that the negatives of allowing anyone to observe unencrypted radio transmissions far exceed the positives. Do you not think so? If yes, why?

This isn't really a hypothetical question, there are actually places which do allow this and places which do not.
> But everything about Mastodon seems badly designed and engineered. The focus on "servers" seems technologically anachronistic

Jack linked to nostr which tries to solve some of these problems:
https://nitter.it/jack/status/1603945963944480768

> The problem with Mastodon and similar programs:

- User identities are attached to domain names controlled by third-parties;

- Server owners can ban you, just like Twitter; Server owners can also block other servers;

- Migration between servers is an afterthought and can only be accomplished if servers cooperate. It doesn't work in an adversarial environment (all followers are lost);

- There are no clear incentives to run servers, therefore they tend to be run by enthusiasts and people who want to have their name attached to a cool domain. Then, users are subject to the despotism of a single person, which is often worse than that of a big company like Twitter, and they can't migrate out;

- Since servers tend to be run amateurishly, they are often abandoned after a while — which is effectively the same as banning everybody;

- It doesn't make sense to have a ton of servers if updates from every server will have to be painfully pushed (and saved!) to a ton of other servers. This point is exacerbated by the fact that servers tend to exist in huge numbers, therefore more data has to be passed to more places more often;

- For the specific example of video sharing, ActivityPub enthusiasts realized it would be completely impossible to transmit video from server to server the way text notes are, so they decided to keep the video hosted only from the single instance where it was posted to, which is similar to the Nostr approach.

Thank you for the suggestion, but this is already what I have with Obsidian.

The problem is that my notes, over say a day, are blocks of unrelated information (personal, work, technical, dev, ...) which in that case would go into a page I would need to look for.

What I saw in Logseq (sibling suggestion) is that it works in blocks and sub-blocks that I can tag. I will end with a daily note made of blocks I would have tagged that I would find in an "dynamic" page under the name of the tag.
I mean, yes, banning people and entire domains that reference a website which shares information that's literally broadcast by his aircraft to anyone with a suitable receiver including quite a few public websites sounds pretty contrary to being a free speech absolutist...
Presumably for a whole lot less than he paid for Twitter, he could have purchased 100 jets and flown them around the country continually for years, hopping on and off as he chose and nobody would have any idea where he was.

EU should have its own leading-edge chip foundry. Intel has nothing to do there, not its place for that, they have to restore leading-edge chip manufacturing for america (and I mean the whole america).

The issue is the economics of leading-edge chip manufacturing: I cannot see this industry providing affordable leading-edge chips without near monopoly on the global market.

Namely, each significant "zone" should have this capabilities, but should not expect to "make money" (sell leading-edge chips at a "loss" to make affordable for all ppl). It should be considered strategic like defence: must be leading-edge, but making money out of it, optional, but nice if it can.

The thing, is some world zones are not ready to do that or will sort of fail, then some other zones should be ready to manufacture at scale to cover the needs of those "friendly" zones.

There, RISC-V, has a lot to provide: interop at the machine code level, for all those chips. The planned obsolescence of compilers and most computer language syntaxes is really toxic (this is the tip of this iceberg of toxicity) in the end.
