Hehe, that's exactly what I thought.

Is it because I'm 48 or is this weird?

No, it is this that is weird.
Law is a self-contained field that predates and doesn’t rely on any of the fields that contemporary universities call social studies, e.g. https://fas.yale.edu/division-social-science.

In medieval times law was categorized alongside medicine and divinity as one of the three learned professions: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-349-03199-3_.... It’s not an academic field at all really, much closer to a trade.
That’s because the acquisition was financed through debt.
I used a Hall Effect sensor on my robotics team and it caused nothing but issues. We were using it to PID our motors to be the same speed. I think there might’ve been some kind of interference from the motors, but I’m not sure. We ended up switching to an optical rotary encoder and all of our problems went away.

Given my bad experience, reading that they’re so popular really surprised me. Are they actually finicky or did my team just do something wrong?
When you make a business that cannot stand on its own feet and depends on another company as the basis of your company, then these are the kinds of catastrophes you have to admit to yourself is possible. When the company you depend on changes ownership, the "break glass in case of emergency" options should be very well understood and ready to go at a moments notice.

Yes, it sucks something you created is struggling due to things out of your control. However, you built your something with a foundation out of your control. I'm just struggling to be sympathetic with the business model.
I agree. Yet I have used awk in a few places instead. Part of it is that it's easier to get a less powerful language accepted by colleagues, when both are in the "completely foreign to me" category.
It's ambiguous. Could be "per developer's account of the story" or "per developer's request" here although the latter is much more common.
I bought DK64, which was on sale for $40 at the time, to get the expansion pass so that I could play Perfect Dark, another Rareware title. At the time, Rare seemed to make all of the best games for the N64.

Oh please. Apple, and most of big tech is extremely socially liberal, and easy to implement or not there was no need to spend time implementing it except to cater to the trans community.

If ease of implementation was the sole driving factor then why are all the handshake emojis skin tones that actually exist, stands to reason it would be just as easy to flip some color codes and have every possible skin tone from green to orange shaking hands. Where's my alien-shaking-hands-with-oompa-loompa emoji dammit?

I personally don't care, and Apple is more than welcome to promote whatever messages they want on their private platform. But let's not pretend it's apolitical.
A niche 3rd-party twitter client with a vocal following. The app was effectively the only way I consumed twitter (at least on mobile) since ~2010.

While not the most feature rich twitter client, I enjoyed the clean interface and most importantly - the ability to sort tweets chronologically.
Many fighting games did and do use lockstep; it’s only recently that rollback has started to become the norm, and some recent big releases still don’t have it. But fans actively clamor for rollback because it’s a far superior experience.

> Why would 'climate change deniers' think that money that wasn't appropriated in 2018 still isn't appropriated in 2023?

You tell me. I can think of two possible reasons. Either they don't know how to read well, leading to both their climate change denialism and a submission headline that claims the money isn't being spent based on an article written in 2018, or they can read and understand that humans are causing the climate to change rapidly with catastrophic results and that the money is being spent but prefer to mislead like Exxon, API, Shell, and Total.
Sounds like he lost money on the deal, no? How is this a scam? Or am I just feeding a troll?
That wasn't the point of the previous post. Clearly if they did have a contract there would be recourses to take, and yes that won't stop Elon being Elon.

The point was that when you build on top of someone else's platform, [1], then you are beholden to their whims. This is a substantial business risk, which has been happening since forever.

I sympethize with Tweetbot et al, but this day has been inevitable for some time. They are not the first to suffer this fate in tech, and they won't be the last.

[1] I'll add, without paying - ie not being an actual "customer".

> The machine doing the torrenting is tied directly to the access point, everything else is over wifi.

That still doesn't make it faster to just torrent them again.

If the LAN is slower than the WAN then a large file where the transfer time is long enough that the few milliseconds of setup latency is irrelevant might be effectively equally fast to re-download from than to transfer over the LAN, but never faster, and in most cases the LAN is going to be more reliable.

There are almost certainly some cases where BitTorrent can transfer a specific set of files faster than common LAN transfer protocols, especially FTP or older versions of SMB when faced with large collections of small files, but that's an entirely different matter.

If the bottleneck in either case is the second PC's LAN interface how could the WAN possibly be a faster source than the LAN machine?
This is fun! I wish it provided a way to save the audio too, but i see that's on the roadmap.
I mean, there does seem some dispute as to whether profits are really up that much in canadian grocery stores. E.g. https://globalnews.ca/news/9098447/canada-inflation-grocers-...
Those things are easy to imagine, however:

1) change in cardinality is such a change in domain that lenses won’t solve it. There will be much bigger changes in business logic probably making original code obsolete regardless of used pattern.

2) deep tree modifications of the kind that you mentioned indicate problems with architecture. Why would you need the whole typed tree (not DOM or something, but object tree) to modify a tiny leaf of it? If you touch multiple leafs with root as closest integration point, why your data model is designed like that, pointing to strong coupling of different contexts?

3) most importantly the code that can be reused, can be extracted to a private method of an entity where the change occurs. Calling nested constructors on the root object breaks encapsulation — it should pass the message to nested objects instead.
Mastodon is the name of two pieces of software, a WWW server and (a couple of) iOS/Android apps. There are other WWW server softwares in use on the FediVerse, such as Frendica. There are also other apps, such as (for some examples) Tusky, Fedilab, and Megalodon on Android, and MetaText, Mastoot, Tooot, and Tootle on iOS. The actual network is the FediVerse.

* https://fedi.tips/mastodon-and-the-fediverse-beginners-start...

Indeed, the Mastodon people are concerned over the trademark dilution aspects of sysops using "mastodon" in their domain names when it isn't the Mastodon WWW server software in use.

* https://joinmastodon.org/sv/trademark

Those familiar with FidoNet will find the FediVerse very familiar in structure, and the distinction between Twitter and the FediVerse is much akin to the distinction between BIX/Compuserve and FidoNet back in the 1980s. Much is the same, including local funding of nodes by sysops and users, local policies set by local sysops, and the fact that not everything gets distributed everywhere.

(There aren't quite FidoNet-style local echoes, but there is a marked difference, even across instances in a single country such as, say, the U.K., as to what can be found on each instance. Quite a lot of discussion in the #TweetBot hashtag can be seen at https://tapbots.social/tags/TweetBot , and markedly fewer -- on Saturday almost none -- of the same posts can be seen at https://know.me.uk/tags/TweetBot .)

To those familiar with Twitter, one way of thinking about it is that it is not one big central Twitter that carries everything on the planet all mushed together, but lots of little separately owned Twitters that can cross-post, and that don't carry everything.
Given twitter’s massive headcount increases in the previous couple of years and the decline in ad spend that came last year, the previous executive team was about to fall off their tightrope. I’m sure they would have handled it with much better communication while treating employees better, though.
I also have fond memories of the Windows 3.1 icons. I loved the old layout of the windows OS. If I was any good at Linux, I would make a distro/desktop behave exactly like 98.
Maybe I'm underestimating the difficulty of this, but would it not make more sense for platforms to just give the user a complete listing of all the unique API function/method calls used by the app/extension with user-friendly descriptions of each?

The APIs would still be grouped by permission, but the user would be able to expand into a list of checkmarks showing to what extent those permissions are used. As well, an alert would be shown if any API usage changes between updates.
Well, they are still called radio buttons, not fan buttons :-P.

Also i think those might be on their way out, the last fan i bought had a touch buttons (not screen) - and yeah, i often did mis-tap the button i wanted :-/

Let’s just be honest.

I won’t use the “U-word” because it usually sets HN on fire everytime it’s used.

I would say as a tribe, rather than as a religion. Religion involves some combo of supernatural and ethical beliefs. Tribes are about in-group out-group status and conflict.
Tweetbot is a third-party twitter client.

You see it mentioned on HN “twice within a day” because it’s likely one of the more popular twitter client, and it’s one of the client which got hit by twitter deactivating api keys unilaterally and without warning or communication.
Phone autocorrect ducking sucks at times. ;-)
The fact they didn’t take off with the mechanical issue should be a point in their favor, not against them.

More accurately though, safety critical things are not allowed to go wrong. If they do, they get investigated. What is and isn’t deemed safety critical is a document written in blood, unfortunately.
What makes this a bad argument against JWTs rather than a good argument in favor of using built-in features of the platform? I agree that any purported issues with JWTs are solvable, but if you don't need the benefits they bring over sessions, why use them at all?

I think the premise of the article, which I wholeheartedly agree with, is that for 95% of software projects developers should choose the simplest implementation necessary to meet the requirements. Sessions come for (almost) free with the framework and most browsers, but JWTs have an additional cost for the problems they solve, which are usually poorly understood upfront.
I think "per developer" means "according to the developer" in this context.

If you go to a gym, try to keep track of your exercise counts and compare them to the machine counters. The machines almost never get them right. But for keyboards they seem to be pretty great.
It's a rather funky phrasing, and I don't think it's an issue with your English. "per" is usually used to mean "in accordance with". So, "per your request" means "in accordance with with your request". It looks the submitter was trying to use "per developer" to mean "according to the developer". While "according to" and "in accordance with" are synonymous when meaning that two things are in agreement, I wouldn't use "in accordance with" or "per" to mean "as told by".
IIRC all browsers supported it, I played around with it back then. I just wondered about in-the-wild use. Though the others comments say there is/was some.

Strange almost all of those reported numbers show the average rise in prices at grocery stores to be far lower than the average inflation rate.

> [The] report concludes that there is “little evidence to suggest grocers in Canada and the United States are colluding or taking advantage of the current food inflationary wave the western world is experiencing.”

So I guess despite tptacek claim that Canada is unique the high prices and the gov-backed monopoly problem is not a new thing, it's just compounded on top of the (predicted post-COVID) inflation issues.

Another lesson in: always doubt convenient narratives in the media...
To be fair, a zealot's missionary tract attempting to convince local religious adherents under the heel of a regional crackdown from an authoritarian regime isn't a great source to encourage familial relationships, despite almost two millenia of veneration. Let alone the implication that family relationships are valued below internal devotion, which I've seen from my parents and siblings as well as across several religious and political communities, causes much unnecessary harm. I don't think the principle you've pointed to is very strong to build communities and societies, though it's great to build a fad/brand and a new schism community among the disowning.

I argue that selflessness can only occur from people who can help those thar have no capacity to help themselves. The old, children, the infirmed, the powerless.

'humans are causing the climate to change rapidly with catastrophic results and that the money is being spent but prefer to mislead like Exxon, API, Shell, and Total.'

I think you need to calm down a bit here. The money still isn't being spent on water infrastructure five years after the 2018 approval vote. How is Exxon, API, Shell, and Total misleading California voters over water infrastructure?
What is not there any more is "Latest". Only "Top" remains.

> This was done to both increase play time and discourage copying.

I doubt copying figured into the decision process (at least not a deliberate "anti-piracy" thought process).

The CD was released in 1982 [1]. This was only one year after IBM had released the original IBM PC, which came with one or two 320KB 5.25 inch floppy drives. The IBM PC did not have an official "hard drive" variant from IBM until the PC XT [3] released in 1983 (one year after the CD) and the hard drive option was a whole 10MB. When the target was replacement of the Vinyl LP player and compact cassette deck, and when their target customer base might have had 10-20MB of total storage in their personal computers (if they even had a personal computer), it would seem unbelievable to Sony and Phillips that those customers might even be capable of copying a disk holding somewhere upwards of 850-950MB of digital audio data.

And of course in the above I am overlooking that in order to "copy a CD" (as in make a digital copy) one first requires a CD drive that can interface with a PC in a digital way, and such drives did not appear until some years after the CD's release.

So with an amount of data on each disk that exceeds end users available storage by orders of magnitude, and no "CD drives interfaced digitally to computers" at the same time it seems unlikely that Sony or Phillips ever even considered that end users would be able to digitally copy CD disks.

Can you name a single business that doesn’t depend on dozens of other companies to stay in operation? Like, if AWS decided to ban someone, would you say “I’m just struggling to be sympathetic with the business model”?
If you are interacting with FOSS as part of your job then this is unavoidable. But if you just want to contribute and share some stuff, it's better to keep it separate. Don't let some online drama affect your source of income.
This sucks, but I don't find it surprising when many of these third party clients are hostile to Twitter. No ads, taking UX out of Twitter's control, and promoting other backbends. It's not clear to me that it benefits Twitter to support these clients.

That's not true, at least for me. There are now tabs for "For you" (previously "Top") and "Following" (previously "Latest").
per my understanding, ie according to my understanding, per developer here means according to the developer. as in, the developer reports that their keys have been disabled by twitter. given that it’s the developer reporting/complaining, we can infer that they didn’t issue any commands or requests.
>I wonder if commenters who thought that Musk would usher in an era of freedom and an end to bad design choices at Twitter are eating crow about now.

Absolutely not. Musk fans tend to decide good/bad based off of “Musk idea”/“not Musk idea”

Somewhere there’s somebody crafting some version of an “Uptime and usability are ideas from a beta cuck mentality, in this thread I will show that slow-loading brain pill ads on a website facing a mass exodus are the sign of virility and strength…” post right now.
I am having trouble wrapping my head around a business that costs 250mm and a year+ to enter not increasing its prices earlier or even more than the current 80 cents. It must be that they are also limited in their ability to increase price by people just paying the cost to redesign to another chip in the medium to long term?
> usually in a mindless/mechanical way

Loaded language not withstanding one of the premier books is all about “mindless/mechanical” changes to structure without changing behavior. It is about step by step safe microchanges.

This might be the biggest difference between refactoring and rewriting.

But you are right it is pushing bits around with no behavioral change. That’s the point.

The open question is if this newly refactored software is more maintainable, more understandable, easier to change in the dimensions it will mutate in the future. Often the answer is “no” and you are right to be frustrated.
If you get as chance give AOE2:DE a shot, I feel like it's what you are describing. It's impressive how many randomized game parameters it has... they even included a randomize button.

https://i.imgur.com/xbbXKdq.png

Additional you can add mods such as 'Random Costs' where units and buildings have random costs so standard build orders are impossible. Because the game is still being updated, people are making new maps and mods, there are often new strategies being discovered frequently.

But to me, the best part of the game is playing with a group that are all a similar skill level. Fortunately the game has a match making system letting my mates and I get paired up with others.
Twitter only lost $200-million in 2021.

Do you want to guess how much it lost in 2022? Hint: Elon Musk's buyout forced Twitter to take on $13 Billion debt... estimated to be $1.3 Billion in interest payments per year.

This "Headcount" fallacy seems to be just the pro-Elon Musk crowd ignoring the fact that the #1 and #2 sources of Twitter's financial woes are:

1. The aforementioned Loan.

2. The $2.5 Billion (estimated) loss in advertiser revenue.

Twitters losses in 2023 will be astronomical. It will not be possible to ignore Twitter's loan issues, or their loss in advertiser revenue.
> The money still isn't being spent on water infrastructure

I gave you a link showing that it is being spent. All of it. The last project is scheduled to be completed in 2025. The article you posted is five years out of date.

> How is Exxon, API, Shell, and Total misleading California voters over water infrastructure?

My first explanation sounds more likely now. They were misleading about climate change. As I pointed out in my first comment, you blamed the "'drought'" on climate alarmists because you are a climate change denier just like these companies, complaining about electrification in your comment history as if its disadvantages are anywhere near as bad as climate change. You pretend (or simply believe out of lack of research ability) the drought is due to population increases instead of due to climate change even though urban and agricultural water usage has steadily declined since 1995. https://www.ppic.org/publication/water-use-in-california/
