i guess we will have to agree to disagree. i think it’s way to early to assume that. also, you titled your post “mastodon is not a good social network.” that is the very definition of pessimism, versus optimism.
The worst is that you can't update the browser, so you can't even use the modern web on devices that are left behind, and nobody besides Apple can help you, even if they wanted to.

Thankfully with iOS 17 it looks like this will no longer be the case!
>Maybe someday humans will get that.

We do get it. Sometimes the costs aren't known in advance, and you can't include every potential future issue in the cost/benefit calculus.

Isn't that literally what the article is pointing at? Shareholders put pressure on the company to stop this, and they are. Sounds like a success story.

Yes, this drives me bonkers as well! The worst is when you want to sort on top of this, e.g. searching Amazon or eBay for "ThingA ThingB" and then sorting by lowest price first, you end up with pages of ThingX, ThingY, ThingZ with no mention or relevance at all for searched ThingA or ThingB. Quoting the terms occasionally helps but often does not.

I'm OK if you want to try returning "similar" results but there should be a way to 100% disable this, otherwise it makes your search borderline worthless.
It's a great app for a 1.0 release and good enough for the majority of users. People laughed at Notes.app but underestimated the power of the default app. I haven't launched Evernote in a decade...
> If I ran around talking up the zen of single letter variables, my team would shoo me out of the room, and almost nobody on HN would applaud me for it.

Yes, because single letter variables are bad.

> But for some reason, functional programming tends to get a pass, despite it just not clicking for a large swath of team mates.

Perhaps this is a problem with the team mates rather than with functional programming? I'm too dumb for functional programming, but I freely admit it's the superior way of writing software. If we were mathematicians rather than programmers, programming would be way better!
Hah! They have let Flash die rather than open source it.

Also, it might compete with Adobe Animate.

If you've constructed your financial system such that it relies on individuals running small miners/validators in their bedroom as integral parts of the system...

...then they get to be regulated as part of a financial system. Because that's what they are. You don't get to evade regulations just by going, "but, but, but, think of the poor individual who just wants to run a tiny little miner!" when that individual is, in however small a way, directly contributing to a system that, in practice, exists primarily to enable fraud and money laundering.
OQC, Cyxtera Bring Quantum Computing to Data Centers
It doesn't seem like it, probably because he doesn't have much to look forward to.

He has to continue to lie about and fail to deliver full self-driving. He has to lose court cases for false advertising:

He has to watch the stock price fall. He has to have a pointless war over plug standards in North America. And he has to watch competitors continue to ramp up EV production making Teslas a tougher sell because there's a lot more choice.

What's the upside?
I like when people over share so that it’s less weird when I do it
1: The US is different. Way more applicants and traffic than the remainder of the world. This also affects selection mechanisms (low accuracy, high filtering, little feedback) and application strategies (various levels of effort, shotgun approach).

2: The first job is by far the hardest. Everything else is peanuts comparatively (unless you're an outlier).

Clue is this piece:

>I can’t recall the reference but I read in a book that it’s 10x easier to find a job while you’re already employed. My experience complies. Don’t waste that multiplier.

When company A thinks someone is worthy of picking, companies B-F suddenly believe that individual is worthy of picking too. One door opens, suddenly they all open.

Combine both and it starts to make sense why application numbers are so ridiculously high.
If there is a simple solution to a "complex" problem, then it either was not actually complex or you've made a big mistake.

People are conflating "complex" with "difficult". Difficult problems can have simple solutions. Complex problems cannot have (correct) simple solutions.

> It got worse. Rather than dotting out the passwords and requiring you to click on them to reveal them, the passwords were just sitting there in plain sight for all to see.

Isn’t this only once you authenticate with password or biometrics? The passwords are shown in clear text so they can be cut and pasted for use.

I don’t think this is a risk as it means someone gave you access to the device password in the first place.
> In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008 (IIRC), the role of regular banking and hedge fund activities was split in two.

This thing comes and goes in waves.

IIRC the requirement that retail banking and proprietary trading not be mixed was already part of the Glass-Steagall Act that came in the wake of the great depression. Clinton repealed it, which somehow played a role in the Citigroup-Salomon Brothers merger.

After the 2008 financial crisis, the "Volcker Rule" was a regulatory effort to bring back this separation, but it took long to implement, is still not fully rolled out (there are exceptions granted, allowing banks a very long time period to trade out of positions they previously held), and there's already talk of rolling it back again.
I think it makes to count any editor with an LSP client as an “IDE” and call a day rather than engage in endless, meaningless debates on subjective terminology
This all seems to make sense to me. I hope it is implemented.

Try buying an iPad 2 that had a weird 9 month life.

I’ve been looking for a lightweight JS library I can build a home dashboard with. Then I’d like to mount the iPad 2 in a wall to control my smart home. It can barely open a modern webpage.
Though it says 'designed for collaboration' it is good to have infinite page for one's own content.

Also it would interesting to see how responsive the collaborative whiteboard would be. Online multiuser whiteboards are really useful when one sees in real-time the action taken by other online users - text being edited, object being dragged by remote users, etc.
I also found this description utterly lacking. However, OpenAI actually has a thing called fine-tuning the model. You can use it to train it with your own data. Maybe the author did exactly that? But I couldn’t find how to do this via the Playground.

> So, no financial engineering or bonuses, just boring paperwork.

Nobody really wants that. We all want to get high on new and inventive financial instruments, to fund our increasingly "chase that paper" lifestyles.

In theory it sounds great, in practice the whole world lives in the fast lane now.
As a senior developer, I spend a lot of time in code reviews asking, "Does this need to be this complicated?"

It turns out that most of the time it does need to be that complicated. Especially with anyone who isn't just a raw junior developer.
The main issue on Android for longevity isn't hardware. It's that you rarely get software updates - or even security updates - beyond a couple of years. An 8 year old device may be completely usable based on the hardware, but still not be able to run or download new apps, all while being a walking botnet.
Inflation really hurts the poor.

When you can't afford groceries at $70 a week you surely can't afford groceries at $120.
Because I have apps that only run on ios9 and won’t run if I upgrade.

...and then look at (for example) Charles Schwab, fined "only" $833M in that time period, with over half of that coming from TD Ameritrade, with the offense prior to acquisition. There are much less predatory institutions out there.
This to me is the right answer: have an intellectual property tax which goes up every year. Disney can pay to keep Mickey locked up but all of the less popular IP shifts the calculation from “keep it, we might use it some day” to a more balanced calculation.

The other thing I’d like to add is some kind of requirement that works be available (e.g. it should cost a lot more if they want to hide it in a vault) but that would need care to avoid publishers screwing creators if there’s a dispute, as is not uncommon - you wouldn’t want the threat of putting something in the public domain to be used to force the creator to agree to unfavorable terms. Maybe something like all assignment contracts are unconditionally voided without compensation if the company chooses not to make an item available for sale/license at standard rates for more than n days in a 5 year period?
> As a driver, with a child of a famous rich person on board, getting out of the vehicle for an altercation is sheer madness. Not saying the guy deserves to get run over, but it's a pretty good outcome considering.

My experience is exactly the opposite in almost all cases. Most software is much more complicated than it needs to be. Reads like the author is just butthurt at feedback they received about their work.
SBF was the complete opposite of this proposal if my memory serves. He wanted to neuter defi with regulation and push more people to his centralized exchange.

It could not be used for my (really pretty standard) purposes. So I stand by "bricked". Unless you consider it a light source. In which case I'd say ok yeah it could still have had some uses as a (not very bright) lamp.
This should be very simple. If the cat doesn't have a microchip or a collar/nametag, then it should be fine.
If they don't want your opinions, forget it and join a like minded instance where they value your thoughts.

You seem to be disappointed with the left-wing ideology, not Mastodon itself. Leftist will not tolerate anything other than what they think is right, so it's expected that they will ban everyone who doesn't share their mindset.
This effect is especially bad for originally English series and movies. I understand English pretty well, but it's incredibly difficult for me to watch movies on a TV. Either I have to wear headphones, or set the TV volume uncomfortably loud.
That is one definition of the term.
I think this is possible on the Mastodon app. There's an option to login to multiple accounts but I haven't try it yet since I only have a single account.
I know it's probably sarcasm, but just in case: I don't think they should, otherwise they could find themselves in a situation where an outage prevents them from fixing the outage.
Is it fair to say Wells Fargo's business as usual is more damaging than FTX's collapse?
It highlights the tendency to overshare, thus hurts his future job prospects. Employers are typically hoping their employees don't play journalists, publicly writing a story about the company on the side.

Despite the sandboxing one still cannot run untrsuted WASM code in the same process as trusted code due to hardware bugs. CPU vendors are not going to fix those anytime soon. Their message is to always use separated address space for security isolation.

And since one need an external process in any case, native containers wins as they are faster by factor of two over WASM.

EDIT:

It does not even make sense to use WASM inside a native container as an extra security layer. With the overhead of WASM one can just put a container inside a VM and still run things faster.
Wow that’s exactly it. I didn’t know there was a term for this. Thanks for sharing!

If you can stomach the cost, OmniFocus and Taskpaper combined is the best I’ve found so far after trying more apps and systems than I could count using both hands and feet.

In Taskpaper you can very quickly write out a detailed project with all kinds of sub tasks. Then when you’re finished you simply copy it and paste it into OmniFocus which automatically turns it into a full project. You get the best of both worlds with this; really quick project planning in the early stages and then the full capabilities of dedicated task management software for your day to day.
Like the sibling comment says, while there are alternative flash players, they are either unmaintained (Shumway since 2016) or not feature complete yet (Ruffle). Since performance was stated as the main goal, a bespoke solution that only supports what the games actually use is probably the best performing.
What it says on a contract does not make it enforceable. Original question is asking "if it is enforceable".

That's in the range of 10x the CO2 an average human will produce in their lifetime. If you could find a way to get 20 people to cut their emissions in half, or 200 people to reduce it by 5%, or 1000 people by 1%, you could balance out your CO2 ledger :)

Or, if you still work in the industry and can find a way to make the shipping routes more efficient, or prevent future mistakes like that, you could make it into the green and achieve CO2 karmic heaven!
There are several, but I want to keep this SFW :)
Getting a cut of the loot is at its most pernicious when it is in the form of campaign contributions and inside information.

> It’s un-American to do this.

No, no it is not. It is very much American. The one thing more American than that situation is Americans saying something bad is un-American. You are what you do, not what you say. US Americans need to get their heads out of the sand and stop being blinded by the con of American exceptionalism. You’re not better than others, you’re not revered, other countries don’t look up to you. You are not a bastion of freedom or justice. You are a country drunk on its own kool-aid, being played by the worse people you have to offer. You need the courage to admit you’re not who you thought. Only then can you enact change to who you want to be.

Quoting George Carlin: “they call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it”.

Why integrating the most used IDE/Editor?

Some companies are already moving to remote IDE models for a variety of reasons, I would prefer using this Gitlab IDE over a VPS hosted in the company cloud for sure.

That's the last question I would ask.
I know of very few simple solutions to complex problems.

I know of solutions that are more elegant than others, physically smaller, but those are often even less simple than the complicated solution.
Londoner here. On daily basis I don't _feel_ restricted on broadband, besides some thepiratebay and some other good old thorns in copyright industrial complex... But I know GCHQ is watching. So nextdns.io is my trusty friend, VPN is no problemo.

On phone I have EE MVNO and without VPN I get blocked pr0n, but not much else. Yes they wanted proof of ID despite having my Direct Debit details.

Personal note: But if you were to migrate to UK, probably not a good time this decade, the cost of living is hitting here hard, post-Brexit shambles are annoying and the compensation is not worth it anymore IMHO. Just the music scene is unbeatable, hence staying.
Agree. I really really hate unnecessary images in text, especially if they contain people or faces.
Yes, that's the point. Apple ties you into its ecosystem by creating apps that only work on their platform and in this case pressuring your friends to also buy from them. This isn't anything new. This app isn't trivial to create so it has to be funded by them somehow. If another company created an app similar to this then they would follow probably a different pattern which would be to first release on iOS, pay for it by some subscription model and then eventually have an option on Android if the company doesn't get bought out by Apple / Android or get Sherlocked.
I would be quite keen to know how a state trust based "stable"coin would work in an environment where treasuries give negative yield. (Only a question of time, even if yields are currently going up)

Glass with a silicone sleeve over it is surprisingly resilient. I have had a few glass bottles with silicone covers that I carry around (not all at once...) and have dropped them more times than I can recall and they always just bounce. Of course they can break, especially if you do something like put it in your shopping cart and drop something heavy on it (whoops).
Creatives: look at this beautiful chalice made of Roman dichroic glass.

Security people: %drops it on the ground and it shatters% yes but glass is terribly insecure, why not redo it with PVC and LEF strip Christmas lights.

I don't know if I would keep some of my most private information on a device that has not had security upgrades for two years. Especially when exploits like [CVE-2022-20465](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-2046...) which bypass the lockscreen exist.
> ..I find myself zooming in and out all the fucking time because everyone uses different font sizes. This is much more convenient when you stand in front of a physical whiteboard.

Interesting point. Physical whiteboard most often has uniform (and readable) font size because of physiology of humans and default stance when writing on a vertical surface.

Digital whiteboard product team should reflect on that and build feature which mimics that.
> My remark was about social networking software.

That is still a senseless distinction. His code is licensed AGPL3. Anyone is free to use it and modify it as they see fit. I don't need to agree with Alex on anything to recognize that his software is better than any of the current alternatives. I could set up a Soapbox instance to make a "BBQ pit masters and meat-eaters community" instance, and Alex (vegan activist) would have absolute zero recourse against it.

> instantly classify rms as someone you don't want to feature on mainstream media.

Why? RMS may be an idiot on a huge number of topics, that does not invalidate what he has to say about the issues of closed software, or how Big Tech has co-opted Free Software by using "the cloud" to exploit users, and so on. If anything, any decent journalist should be able to bring to mainstream media and should be able to make the distinction about which part of RMS is important to listen.
The incentive structure for any large exchange is to make an attempt to capture the regulator. In a free market, exchanges can't make a big profit because they are too easy to replace. In a regulated market, where new entrants are blocked by KYC and AML regulations and a host of red tape, the exchanges can maintain a much higher profit margin.

I don't think Coinbases' interests align with the interests of the people using crypto in this article.
>if stress alone impacts executive functioning skills you'd expect to see similar reductions in high-stress jobs like surgery, finance, war, extreme sports, etc.

It's not that complicated. Long term thinking requires certainty. Poor people generally dont have enough economic certainty to plan for longer periods into the future and that's the cause of their constant stress.

This stress and uncertainty poor people experience can constantly create survival scenarios where a longer chain of consecutive decisions have to be correct than for an equally intelligent rich person.
Many people mistakenly attribute what the OS does when it detects a degraded battery as an example of this, since it appeared in an update and wasn't properly explained (and no opt-out was provided initially).

It's hard to fault them honestly, most people don't understand how degraded batteries affect their device, they think it's just about how many hours the device lasts on a full charge, when in reality it's much more complex.
