I tend to use escape in most circumstances, but I am increasingly partial to Ctrl-[ when using certain keyboards where the escape key is a bit too far for me. It's another option that's always available by default.
You can't piss off your paying audience.
Doing is the best way to learn. The mind looks over gaps in understanding which are revealed when trying to build.

I think DRH picked a self-imposed constraint that sqlite would not have any external dependencies. A lot of his decisions are due to this constraint.
> And after the 2008 bailouts it became pretty clear that there are different rules for different people

I think part of the problem lies here. We have this notion that there are those rich and powerful few, and there is the rest of us plebeians. Everyone wants to be the person that cracks the code and joins the ranks of the elite. All of a sudden that scammy crypto project looks like your ticket in and "all the haters just don't know".

One of the best things I've learned looking at this crap for the past few years is there really are no shortcuts, and any shortcut that's getting sold to you is snake oil.
9/11 has very little to do with the Iraq War, and pushing lies to a captivated audience is still detestable.
I never understood the "public square" argument that so many people made about the role of Twitter or other social media platforms. They're really just private courtyards where permission to pass is controlled by the owner of the courtyard, within the constraints set out in the legal system on discrimination (i.e. the same as for restaurants, movie theaters, etc.). Here's the underlying legal basis of protected free speech in the United States:

> "First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

However, that seems to raise an issue with the FBI - a government agency - directing a private entity to ban speech from persons they wish to silence, doesn't it?
It turns out he's just everything his critics has said he is, and that he is indeed just following his preexisting standard of behavior. That's just how it is sometimes.
Twitter’s inclusion of Facebook points to the idea that they consider it a competitor, and would be one far larger.
This confused me too, but I believe they're saying "if you upload (for example) a photo to Instagram, we'll still allow you to upload it to Twitter also, but you're not allowed to link to it".

I find it strange they explicitly mention this, though. As if they might decide only completely original media is allowed on Twitter.
Trolling open sources for operational intelligence on internal factors which should not be publicly traded is often recommended to both attackers and defenders.
Probably to allow "Libs of TikTok" to maintain her username.
Yes, and that's not a problem either here, because the neutrons don't stick around. If you had a lithium blanket making T you'd want to clear out any 3He as it was produced from T decay so they don't hoover up too many thermalized neutrons, though.

I don't think that (n,p) reaction on 3He normally produces a photon, btw.
Just the labor pool approaching zero. When it bounces along the bottom, capitalism hires children, etc.
> I've always been bearish on TSLA though. Every car company and nation will be pumping out EVs soon. The market monopoly bull case never made sense. I think the true value is half of Toyota's market cap, and I'll be buying puts on Monday.

IIRC Elon himself has said that Tesla is doomed without the success of FSD. I think any rational person would agree it's baffling how high a valuation Tesla has held for so long, especially when you compare them to any other car manufacturer, but as the saying goes "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
I remember back in the old days when Twitter got a lot of flack for preventing Instagram link previews.

EDIT: I got the order wrong, see replies.
I’m sure Elon would take that tradeoff.
There’s been some speculation he is trying to build an Everything app a-la WeChat in China. Aside from the fact that the everything app concept has never really worked outside China, and certainly won’t fly with the EU — he probably would have been better starting it from zero. I’m pretty sure if he could have got out of the Twitter acquisition he would have.
I love giving books away. There are so many options. Charities, neighborhood social networks, a box with a "free" sign, book crossing, public book shelves. I've used all of those. There are still some at my parents that I need to give away, but it feels great making sure that someone else gets more use out of them.
There's a great George Carlin bit on how changing the names to less severe sounding terms can actually be harmful. He gives the example of shell-shock being changed to PTSD which sounds more benign and doesn't capture how horrible the condition is. Also the race baiting in black box and red team is so unintentionally hilarious.
That would dedicate the homepage to Elon in a week or two.
Some of these suggestions are so euphemistic I wouldn't necessarily know what someone using them is trying to say... Plenty of cases where the client isn't actually the user, plenty of cases where saying something is "surprising" doesn't give the same subtext as saying something is "insane..." and that's just scratching the surface. GF is 100% Mexican descent, first gen US citizen, w/ advanced degree and she despises Latinx as a term (can't even pronounce it in Spanish she says).
Still, the way this is drafted I don't interpret it as banning every single type of links but rather promotion of your profile of your content on another platform. It's not as explicit to me as you suggest.

I guess we shall see soon enough.
A small note about "keep the EV plugged", I do not know, since it's LARGELY NOT DOCUMENTED, as usual, but my MG ZS EV actually "keep the battery warm", consuming around 900W. Oh, sure it's not that much, but for 24H that means 21.6kWh, witch might be around 5+€/day in various EU countries. Sure it's really not much, but it's a thing to consider.

The other note is for ALL fellows IT guys, no matter their role, in automotive (and any other sector): please DO TELL the value of full disclosure. Do teach anyone that documenting things is useful and even in the process of doing it design errors came up before transmuting in horrors.

Actual mean software in cars is crapware, documenting it do dot make it less crappy ALONE, but still help because people might read and compare and marking might start being warred about the disclosure of crappy designs...
You could easily keep your car (it's not super old), and wait out the low-supply EV car market while you're at it.
haha!! so no more hard pistachios - you buy them ready to eat
I don't know if this was a serious question, but Twitter's support for video is less advanced. Really, it's clear that it's never been a priority.

The maximum duration is 140s, max file size is 512MB, max resolution is 1280x1024, they use the browser's basic HTML player, and their compression makes all videos look like crap.

Will those who are arrested actually be prosecuted? That’s the big issue we have in Los Angeles county is the prosecutor declining to file charges.
The difference is breaking the story vs reporting on it after it has been broken. Had Coffee not put out his video series, NYT would have likely not been compelled to write a piece about it
If he wishes to support free speech, as he so often claims, then yes, that carries that obligation. But he clearly does not actually care about free speech.
And so the euphemism treadmill turns.

A basic axiom of linguistics is that language evolves to suitably convey what people wish to convey. The “harm” in harmful language lies not in the words themselves, but the intent behind them and the context of their usage.
As the website doesn't work for me, I genuinely cannot tell if your examples are sarcasm or come from the website.
What I'm more surprised about is the Human behind the development of these changes.

I don't think Twitter is full of Musk's fanboys, so people implementing these changes are still working there because they have bills to pay.

How sad we are as a society that people need to put making money to survive in front of principles (assuming people know they are implementing rules against free-speech).

Btw, I don't condemn people doing this, but I hope there would be an alternative, and that we are not just continuing to contribute to this surveillance-capitalism--techno- authoritarianism.
Worth mentioning that this policy might have suspended John Carmack for this tweet a couple days ago, announcing his resignation from Meta:

https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1603931899810004994...

This is a very, very, very bad policy and shows with absolute clarity that Twitter is far from a free speech platform. Which deeply saddens me. Imagine how absurd it would be for Reddit or Hacker News to have a policy like this. In fact, a similar policy on this site would get my account suspended for this very comment.

More info in these tweets:

https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/160453126179152281...

Also, the policy is vague about whether merely linking to content on a competetive social network results in a ban, or whether the post has to "promote" another specific social network (whatever that means). They say "cross-posting" is allowed, but they don't provide a definition of "cross-posting". Whether the Carmack post would be allowed would hinge on that definition. Either way, it's a boneheaded policy.
Wow. I can't believe they actually wrote this down.
I'll point out that if you can't hear by ~11 years old, you won't be able to understand language - even if you can hear later in life. So it is possible that you are reading stories of people who decide not to get the surgery because they know they won't get full function.
I use this for city council meetings to figure out who said what. It's not easy, but it's better than nothing. YouTube doesn't appear to do so well with multiple speakers.
I wish more SPA frameworks (and any backend frameworks) had automatically generated routes like nuxt.
If by "a while" you mean the past handful of days, then yes. To suggest that this has been an unspoken policy for years is simply wrong and misleading.
> Wow. How will the free speech absolutists twist this as being pro free speech?

Same as anything else. Any sequence of words that mimic a rational argument, with no concern for consistency with any previous stance or statement.
Blind here means unseeing, not even negative or positive.
Please see my top level post in this thread. I am willing to cover your postage costs to get your collection to the Internet Archive if you decide to preserve them with that org. Drop an email in your profile long enough for me to see it and I’ll reach out OOB.

Not a Twitter fan or a social media user but I see no problem with this at all. Looks like a private company playing hardball with competitors. I don't see any hypocracy unless you adopt some very neive definition of protecting free speech
From a sociological & political perspective, I’m most concerned here by the expansive notion of “harm” embedded in these guidelines.

Harm is a serious thing: It represents the line where my rights end at yours. If using an inappropriate but common cultural idiom harms someone as opposed to being simply rude, that has a potentially revolutionary significance.
> For example, imagine if ChatGPT gets so good that it can replace humans in nearly every type of writing -- we'll be drowned in AI writing and most writers will be out of a job.

The real problem here isn't the tech. It's our inability to figure out how to sucessfully let tech do our job for us so we don't have to "work" anymore.

There is no law of nature that demands every human "work" 40 hours a week or die hungry. If AI replaced every job on earth, and humans still had more than enough resources to live comfortably, what exactly would the problem be?
How to Migrate from Twitter to Mastodon
The first things that springs to my mind is that the spectrum of emitted light from an active display is different from that of reflected sunlight/artificial light off of paper made from pulp/linen/cotton.

Active displays can be fatiguing for a variety of reasons, including brightness as you mention, but also the "unnatural" light spectrum.

Also, of course, blue light is believed to affect your circadian rhythm, so can cause disturbances after sundown. Most ebook readers have adjustments for this though.
I'm committed to my partner. She's evil, I knew it.
but after 120mins of play, somehow they have to make a decision.
Couldn't agree more. It's the most rapid descent from prestige television to soap opera in television history. Just took some people longer than others to realise it.
This doesn't hold to scrutiny.

Excuse the gross comparison, but if a serial public pee-er moves to the same area I live in and pees wantonly all over the place, the answer isn't "just move somewhere without people peeing in public", it's to take some action and complain loudly about the fact I don't like that someone is peeing all over where I live without any repercussion.

Elon Musk has too much in the game to both participate on and run Twitter. The bans in the last weeks are far too convenient to simply be the new moderation staff finding abhorrent persons when there are reporters, parodists, and just general Elon Musk objectors being banned from Twitter without any oversight or reason. Mastodon is not a good alternative, as nice as it might be; the on-boarding and the concept is too much for most people, and ultimately moving to Mastodon is just conceding Twitter to Elon Musk, when openly defying and degrading all stores of value that Elon can influence are a real way to enact change.

Already the biggest Tesla investors are calling Elon Musk out as detrimental to Tesla stock because of his performance on/with Twitter. I do not desire punishment or pain for anyone, but I also don't want someone to be able to manipulate public discourse like I understand Elon Musk is currently doing with Twitter (for my perception, the bans are just far too specific and vague; the tweets and their content are completely non-offensive and the rulings from Twitter are far too specific to be afterthoughts of safety)

Elon Musk is not a great person by any means, he just has money; money should not be a reason to elevate an opinion above another by any stretch of the imagination. The sooner that the world accepts this, the better, and if it means that Elon Musk's valuation tanks, then so be it.
Have I misread the first couple paragraphs of the site? It looks like it's a mandatory language-change initiative at Stanford (or, at least, mandatory within the IT department) that they're publishing in case anyone else wants to use it.
That’s why I said stones instead of lies. I’m ESL, but I believe that phrase relates to hypocrisy rather than slander.
I can't even believe this is 2022; truly seminal! opps leading, groundbreaking. ChatGPT is going to have a field day.
Whether the operators of mining farms have mens rea is a matter for criminal courts. No one tried to sue them yet, perhaps no one will. Perhaps some aspiring DA will try. Who knows.

That doesn't change the fact they run the scam.

I wrote this up before but here it comes: if there's an empty room and a few people come, play a few rounds of a card game and then leave and the room is empty then it is obvious the sum of their money couldn't change. Some won, some lost but the sum is the same. This is called a zero sum game. If they decide to use plastic chips during the game and only use real money in the beginning and the end, nothing has changed.

However, if someone takes a cut every time the chips are being moved around then that person is guaranteed to win and the players in total are guaranteed to lose and a game where we know who wins without knowing anything about the game is quite obviously a scam.

Your only way to win is to hype up the game and sell your chips to an outsider who will now sit on an even bigger loss. Might not be realized yet but it is there.
Why do you think that?

If anything bigger buisnesses have more ressources to avoid taxes. - Thus having everyone pay the same would lead to large companies paying more than they do now and small companies would be barely affected.
It's breaking my heart to see Gitlab's recent behaviour (e.g., deleting old projects,
removing sensible pricing options). I want to give them my money but no longer can because of how prohibitively expensive it is for me to buy the features I'd want.

It's clear they're struggling to compete with a post-acquisition GitHub that effectively has infinite budget from Microsoft.
They specifically mention Linktree and say it's not allowed either.
This is amazing! The speed and simplicity makes me happy. Thank you!
I wonder if those other than 50 were ever relevant besides being a number on the profile and people just never asked themselves the question.

It's quite easy to get followers. You just post something with a popular hashtag and you get all kinds of followers. How do they help you though? Do people really think, those thousands of people actually read their tweets it they're not some kind of VIP?
>” I prefer to avoid being angry with fools, today.”

That is my inclination as well, but truth be told something feels very unsettling and insidious about this document. I can get on board with some word choice changes if they seem reasonable. However just about everything in this list seems unjustifiable and purely driven by some neo-puritanical moralism.

One day I can envision this list being codified into the grammar and spell check programs we use for word processing and email.

If people don’t speak up, this will end up becoming something that gets enforced. Not legally enforced, mind you, but first it will become mandatory in academia, then in journalism, then in the business word, and eventually new generations will speak it natively.
This whole “arbitrary action followed by clumsy post hoc justification by hurriedly written policy policy” thing is beginning to get kind of comical.

Musk refers to it as "free promotion of social media platforms", he's taking it personally. Personally I think they should all respond in kind.
I've been wondering whether he's planning to run for some office (in South Africa? US?). At least, that would make his burning through $44Bn, lying so much and voluntarily antagonizing/ostracizing "the Libs" somewhat logical.

edit: Alright, here is my latest idle theory: he wants (or wanted at some point) to become a news mogul and a US Republican kingmaker. And since Twitter is (for many people) the news:

1. buying Twitter;

2. achieving absolutist control over it;

3. getting rid of the Libs while appealing to Republican victimhood.

...makes some kind of sense.
All words are harmful in some context or other. I suggest we abandon language and return to good old argument by flinging feces at one another.
You wrote:

>>>These conversations are no more indicative of intelligence than "Signs point to yes" is indicative of paranormal activity. Both are clever. How impressed one should be with either, is an exercise entirely left to the reader.

Whether the AI's output is "indicative of intelligence", or whether the indication of intelligence was at all concerning to the root commenter, isn't the topic at hand. Stupid gotchas aren't actually responses.

You sail right over the point the root commenter makes, and the one I attempt to clarify -- it's not about whether the AI is actually "intelligent", or if it can take over the world, or if it can impress or is pointless or is a Magic Eight Ball: it's about whether its output is "good enough" for purpose. And it is, so it'll be used by those who don't care about things like authenticity or art.

Or authentic engagement with what's being said -- there will soon be the unlimited ability to frustrate people who care about addressing the topic at hand rather than what the bad-faith arguer wants the conversation to become.
I’m disabled.

I have mixed feelings about the things in this list. E.g. part of my disability experience involves my mental health and, when you’re talking about me, anyway, I don’t mind the term “mentally ill”.

On the other hand, it sort of irritates me when people who are well describe others as “crazy”.

Regarding your comment on disability being “abnormal and negative”, though, I have to disagree. I would not have survived the last few years if I had characterized my impairments as being abnormal and negative.

There’s an approach out there called the “social model” of disability where impairment is regarded as a neutral (neither good nor bad) experience and the good or bad experience is how the impairment changes interaction with society. It’s worth reading at least the introduction on the Wikipedia page, so I’ll link it.

Happy to answer any questions if you have ‘em!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability

Edit: To be clear, I’m just thinking about the list of words, not any sort of policy about what one can and can’t say. That’s a whole other can of worms!
I feel this so acutely and I often wonder how other people don’t see this and it makes me want to scream.

Almost everything new is some form of scam or scheme. Particular on social media (IG, TikTok, etc.) almost ever ad or sponsored post is a scam. I can imagine that growing up right now you must assume this is normal and just the way it is.

Yup. People were angry that a company they don't like bought Github. But if you look at what Microsoft actually changed, there's not much to complain. They even made private repositories free, and significantly reduced prices for many users. It's hard to stay angry at a company when they are giving you what you want for free!

Twitter, on the other hand, wants to get users to sign up for a paid subscription and starts banning everyone who is sceptical. That's the best way to drive people away.
I heard a theory that woke is actually a class marker of manners, indicating that someone has the time and privilege to track the constantly shifting, baroque signals of what is and is not acceptable to say during any given season. If someone were to make that case, this could be evidence in favor.
Maybe just remove English from IT altogether. I'm sure one can find harmful roots everywhere given enough time and research.
To be fair - it looks like twitter is also banning links in bio here?
Destroying Twitter, or at least rendering it unusable by its current audience, is clearly the objective. I'm not entirely sure why but it seems to be to "own the libs".

(edit: I have been pointed at the EU rules https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-... under which "gatekeeper platforms" may not "prevent consumers from linking up to businesses outside their platforms". However I expect Twitter to implode before any enforcement action completes)
I'm offended by how they assume visitors to the page will all be literate. Why is there no audio or, for the hearing impaired, a video of a person signing?
Musk is in bed with the Chinese. If he bans TikTok they might retaliate against Tesla.
He lied because it's way more noble to be a "champion of free speech" than a champion of hate speech and far-right rhetoric. Much of the base that buys into this rhetoric hates complexity or nuance. "Unrestrained freedom" is an easy concept to promote, yet impractical to apply rationally, something that those who fully buy into the concept fail to comprehend, as they only subscribe to a surface-level understanding.
