One trick that I used in a similar situation that was simple and effective worked like this: (imagine a conversation with engineer)

Me: Hey, I got a question I was hoping you could answer. What do you think is harder, writing code or reading code?

Them: That depends who are we talking about?

Me: Idk, I mean it sort of generally. Let’s start with which you think is easier/
harder for other people.

Them: Probably reading code.

Me: like how much harder?

Them: Maybe 2-3x harder
———————-

Then, next time you have a one on one, or you do like a team meeting bring up this point and say that if reading code is 2-3x harder than writing code, then we should strive for our code style to be within an understandability budget. If we write code at our max intelligence, let’s say one of your team mates has a super 10/10 intelligence, then it requires a 15/10 to understand it and it’s therefore out of budget.

I’m an engineer and I’ve used different versions of this argument to great success in convincing people as to the merits of why it’s good to write code that’s intentionally “dumber”.

Roadblocks that I’ve had in the past have come down to communication issues, where in one situation in particular a fellow engineer didn’t want to give answers to the question or be pinned down to even rough easier/harder for reading/writing code. In general, engineers like this don’t understand how they’re perceived by others and they can’t understand how their work affects others, and what can you do? I’m not sure, nothing works 100% when it comes to people.
My YouTube feed is currently filled with videos of whitehats hacking into Indian scam call centers.

Most of the time, the giveaway is the callers' Indian accent. If you could simply type into a box and speak with an American accent, it would be really hard to get caught.

We're opening a pandora's box here if I'm honest. I'm hardly one for pro-regulation, but good God, we're playing with things here that can really hurt us down the line.

This is a fair comment, I'll clarify why I mentioned that.

Bringing up Tesla and SpaceX was only to point out that he doesn't really have any way to bail out bad Twitter decisions despite it being a (relatively) smaller company. There's nowhere to pull extra finances from to bail this out, and it's known he already went into debt to make the purchase.

I really don't want him to lose anything. I'd like him to go back in time to when he first installed Twitter on his phone and slap the thing out of his own hand and scream "NO! THAT'S A BAD ELON!"
Probably meant soviet bloc or sphere of influence.
This is offensive wibble.

"The government" absolutely does care about protecting children, evidenced by the hard work done by children's services teams up and down the country. The government is only faceless if you don't want to look - the childcare professionals working endless hours with troubled children and families absolutely do have faces, and they're some of the kindest and selfless people you could hope to meet. No man/child/family is an island, and so this idea of parents being the protection not the government is not just wrong, it's dangerous. There are countless terrible cases up and down the country where it's the parents doing the abusing. Or even the more benign cases where the parents are struggling through circumstance or mental health and appreciate the help. What then if the government can't/shouldn't help?

And I presume you're referencing what happened in Rochdale, which is rightly a horrific scandal and should never have happened. But it doens't mean the government doesn't care. It means some of the people working for it are incompetent/corrupt/evil.

This bill is terrible for all sorts of reasons, but holding execs personally accountable when they break the law isn't one of them.
“Employees will have up to 3 years to exercise their options post-exit.”

That’s pretty remarkable, actually
I mean the only ways you can work with a monorepo are either submodules or a package manager. Do devs really think these are better than a folder ?

Having used both they both introduce unneeded complexity and get in the way of actual development. If you use a sensible and modern CI they all support a monorepo flow.
It's clear that it's not a general API outage, specific "reader" apps have been removed/blocked, including from peoples "authorised apps" in their accounts.

This is not an "API Outage", I think we can be 99.9% sure it's a removal of specific apps.
One reason I like cleaning up the history before merging is that anyone can then `git blame` and land on a commit that shows the feature/bugfix as a whole and hopefully with a clear explanation in the commit message. Not a bunch of "Fix typo" kind of commits.

Any solution for that?
Offtopic perhaps, but if most of your code is in Swift or Kotlin, have you tried the new Kotlin frontend support? I don't have any project where I can use Kotlin in the backend right now but I've always wanted to give the Kotlin frontend a go as an alternative to TypeScript.
we'll go back to the old way of consuming media - recommended by friends, vetted by known curators.
For me, it's been learning about the topic of last year's nobel prize in physics. Shedding light on Einstein's famous "God does not play dice" through, literally college algebra and a somewhat mundane experimental setup. The only thing stopping people from doing it sooner was obscurity and a comfortable attitude towards to status quo!

Now I'm convinced we can understand really fundamental things about our reality, and that is so so interesting.

I'm dreaming of going back, getting a math master's, then a physics PhD ... Maybe
it's in the article: "Hydrogen developers expect the npm install command to resolve all the dependencies that they need to work on a project. With Ruby as a dependency, that mental model breaks and they can easily run into issues where the CLI refuses to run because of additional steps needed."

TypeScript feels like it's trying hard to become Java Enterprise level of complexity :)
Oh sure, I feel incredibly sorry for small business and indi-developers who may loose their income from this. I hope they have contingency plans for this eventuality and have started to diversify.

There is also a whole ecosystem of "publisher" apps like Buffer and Typefully that haven't been blocked yet, if I was them I would be very worried right now.
It's not inadequate. Brightness diminishes for two reasons. One is absorption from cosmic dust (not that big of a factor), the other is that the object appears smaller, but the brightness per unit solid angle from the object does not diminish. If there were just more stars behind that you could see, the sky would have to be much brighter.
It's an interesting way to put it, and I certainly agree with your sentiment.

The other aspect to the strong Reality Distortion Field is the unfair advantages founders might get through VC funding -- a huge amount of money is already a great advantage over competitors, but there are others like access to domain-specific confidential data and API, protection from lawsuits, ... In that case the faerie dance is more like a kabuki dance.

Sounds like Microsoft is trying to leap frog ahead of Google, but I worry more about the consequences of ChatGPT. Not much thought has been put into whether incorporating it in Bing will be good or bad for users.
Ha, fair response. But the truth is I haven't much cared, you're right. Twitter is a private company, they agreed to sell and Musk bought it, if he wants to screw up his asset and his reputation by doing ridiculous things, that's his prerogative. I don't really follow much of that drama, nor do I regard twitter as some kind of indispensable public utility.

But yes, now it is personally inconveniencing me, and so I'm looking at alternatives.
A schema isn’t only for performance, but also for constraints. In Neo4j, people often add redundant data for performance, for example if you often need the number of nodes up to 3 hops away, or they want a certain type of link not to have cycles, but there’s little to no help from the system in keeping those constraints.

Whenever I hear the claim any “noSQL” store is so much simpler than a SQL database, I mention performance (efficient storage and querying) and constraints and then say “give it 50 years”.
This is bullshit. I've been ping'ing the address for a while now with zero updates to their counter.
one use case that I can think of is for monitoring something. Let's see you have tmux open fullscreen, working in one of the panes and have an auto-updating graph at one of the corners to check the value of your stocks (?).
A much more intuitive explanation is this:

We are concerned really with how long it takes to travel this distance. We also know, from real life, that it is, in fact, possible to travel it.

So Zeno is telling us "where am I wrong, show me", this is what a "paradox it".

Assume that we are running at a constant velocity for the entire distance.

As the distance shortens so does the TIME needed to travel it.

As the distance becomes infintessimaly small so does the TIME NEEDED TO TRAVEL IT.

So when you reach "the limit" you travel "through it" in an "instant".

So your velocity doesn't change as the time decreases alongside the distance traveled.

So the point is "don't look at the distance only", since in order to TRAVEL a given distance, one needs to MOVE, and movement implies TIME, which means VELOCITY comes into play.

So while there are many of those smaller 1/2's, you travel through them faster and faster.
The problem is with all of these new devices using AI related features. They all seem to decide that it's a good idea to use contractors to "verify" or "categorize" the pictures. There is always a leak because they have to rely on the contractor's security protocols to make sure that these pictures don't get out. And, surprisingly, contractors might not have the best security, and it doesn't seem like the companies have any incentive to verify the security.
Good to see that authors/maintainers of AI models are beginning to think about attribution. But it seems like this will be a hard problem to solve. For example, say my voice was part of the training data set, to what degree can I lay claim to the newly created voices? Also, will there be some sort of grading/ranking (e.g. it could be argued that some of the voices used in the training set are more desirable than others, and therefore their "owners" deserve better fees etc.)?

The speed of progress on this front is increasing. These days even "cheap" rockchip MCUs are packing 5TOPs AI accelerators. And both AMD and Intel are working on much more powerful ones for their cpus. Heck, I recently wrote a mobile (android) app that runs pretty powerfull AI for intensive image processing locally on mobile phones thinking improved privacy would be more in demand than sending everything "to the cloud". I was mildly surprised to discover most people don't care (after writing the app). Still, I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years the majority of AI people use rums on end user devices.

Who wants to record typos or patch after patch in your private branch? That has absolutely no value.
If you don't know what parameters are optional, just add the little question mark to every variable and remove the ones that turn out mandatory? Better to have some type info than nothing at all.

If you fetch data and TS tells you the result may be undefined then I guarantee you your code would've randomly crashed at some point in the future because of it. That error is a feature, not a bug!
Explanation is not condonation, condemnation, or absolution.

Like it not, my comment is how corporations work. We've tried letting them have in-built morality, but guess what, it didn't work before, and it doesn't work now.

> who clearly should take morality into account.

"Clearly?" Why? How is it clear at all? If there are no consequences or benefits for doing so (and indeed, a highly beneficial outcome by not doing so), why should they?

> he is a person who is responsible for the decisions he makes and how those decisions effect those around him

You're viewing this from your own moral viewpoint. Imagine, what if Ellison simply doesn't give a shit at all about how his decisions affect those around him, what would you do then? At some point, if corporations or other entities aren't following the rules we set out informally as a society, then yes, you must formally and explicitly lay out the rules you want them to follow. Otherwise, stuff like in TFA will happen, and will continue to happen.
Socioeconomic problems correlate with gun crimes, but it is absolutely naive to think that we can achieve perfect mental health/material conditions. Even if we managed to get UBI for everyone and in a strictly theoretical sense solved these issues and everyone is well off, doesn’t have to work etc, we would still have mental health issues, psychopaths, etc (as even the best medical care will fail plenty of times). I see no evil in limiting their reach of destruction, plus healing symptoms is just as important even in actual medicine as they can just as well kill you. Of course it is not exclusive-or, we have to do plenty to better the mental health of basically every country’s population.
I used to think this way about prose too, but a book called "First You Write a Sentence" by Moran changed my assumption on this one. As Moran points out, the "sound" of writing conveys meaning in itself. A little flourish, so long as it's not distracting, can improve the clarity of a sentence and make it more pleasant to read.
>the way “chronological” timeline works is, Twitter decides on your social graph and hide posts until it fits your serving. Shadowbans, Boosting and Deboosting are factored in as well. That is technically chronological, only technically.

Source? The thing is I compare chronological timeline with lists (of users I follow) all the time, and I didn't notice any missing tweets. "Shadowbanned" tweets always were visible in lists, I personally checked that.

> The article says we pay three times

It isn't true, though, is it?

The curtailment payment is instead of the regular payment, not in addition to it. Possibly also instead of some tax breaks the wind turbines got contingent on being operational - but that's only shifting costs from the taxpayers to the electricity consumers, who in the large are the same people.

Paying twice is still not as nice as paying once, but it makes me wonder what other sleight of hand the author is employing in his argument.
The video specifically mentions transmission congestion as an example of "lack of system flexibility" as one of several non-oversupply reason to curtail.

Timestamp: 1 minute 5 seconds.

If the NREL is specifically making videos to dispel unhelpful myths about a topic then it's worth at least watching their short video before continuing to spreading those very same unhelpful myths.
They are useful specifically in the intelligence field like NSA(no wonder they have so much graph stuff opensourced). Let me share one obvious use case you have data on a lot of people like call data records, Facebook friends list, Twitter followers/following list and potentially a lot of other data as well. Now you have two targets person A and person B with graph databases it is a trivial one liner to find how these two people are linked. They can be linked directly or they could have 5 people between them doing the same in SQL recursive CTE is a major PIA and takes a lot of time(see degrees of kevin bacon using graph database). There are very niche companies that are making big bucks by just selling libraries/softwares just to plot these graphs and most of their customers are government agencies with a lot of funds.
Yes, this is very likely. I've added all the titles I haven't hears about to my list of things to check out. Thank you.

It also paints a damning picture of many more modern sites which don't.
> Cool, but.. why?

I would say: composability. As you can see in the examples the datasources are very different, and for some one off observation this can be totally handy (if you don't need to massage the data too much, probably).

The UK market maybe not, but the UK could make a truckload of money selling their wind power to France to aid their old, barely running NPPs.

Eh, that seems a bit unnecessary to me.

I left Twitter nearly two months ago. Ultimately, I just couldn't stomach supporting Musk by continuing to view ads, contribute content, and give people positive feedback (via likes and retweets) that helped them stay: https://twitter.com/williampietri/status/1593662348568326151

But I don't think that people who stayed are necessarily morally defective. There have always been reasons to quit Twitter and reasons to stay. Most people stayed either because they decided Twitter was a net positive for them or because Twitter is a habit-forming drug, or a bit of both. It's not only unsurprising to me that some take longer to quit than others, that's part of what made me leave: to undermine, ever so slightly, the rewards for staying.

If this disruption to their usual method of consumption is what pushes them over the line, great. We live in an age where it's impossible to live an ethically pure life, so I'm happy to celebrate steps forward as people take them. Good job, Twitter quitters! Welcome to the club.
Go back to the biblical times. Egypt used to be a lush garden.

You’re making the mistake of looking at too small a data sample and assuming what came before.

Not rational at all, just parroting a narrative, sadly.

No, it's not. We should just let the Free Market decide how to dispose of bodies. If people in apartments choose to let their relatives decay in their homes, or bury them in very shallow graves, that's their business.

Pre-PMF you probably don't need much, just don't make it harder for yourself to add things later.

For us we usually just add a new feature to the admin dashboard whenever it's needed for the first time, usually triggered by a customer support question. The downside is that unusual queries can take a few days to answer, but the upside is that we've never built anything we didn't need.
I have to say, this article is exceptionally disappointing. As someone who works in this space, there are numerous misleading depictions about the state of the field. Almost any respectable simulation shows that disk galaxies are widely present at very early times. This is simply an argument of angular momentum conservation and these rotational states are simply more transient at early times compared to the local Universe.

"Yan found 87 distant galaxies behind the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723" --> this is not true. They found 87 galaxy candidates. To be fair to the article, they do note that these await spectroscopic confirmation but experts only believe those with spectroscopic confirmation. Everything else is tentative and we don't yet have good numbers on confirmation rates. Finally, the Yan et al candidates are wildly inconsistent with almost every other estimate of high-redshift galaxy samples. You can see a comparison in Table 4 here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.06683.pdf. They claim more than double the number of high-redshift sources compared to everyone else. JWST data is still very new and hard to both reduce and analyze. One particular problem is correlated hot pixels which can appear as very high-redshift sources. I don't know if this impacts the Yan et al paper but just an example of something that is not 100% straightforward to deal with. I highly recommend people take this with a healthy amount of skepticism until everything has a spectrum.
If you phrase the question "is there a way to prevent" usually it all goes well.

Working with folk who understand that nuance is the tough part.
The politics around changing that would be spectacular to behold. Especially if it resulted in Scotland having cheaper energy.

I do wonder how effective a "you get 0.5p off your bill if you can see a wind turbine from your house" rule would be against NIMBYism.
Oh, it seems it was reset to use the algorithmic one. I for sure did not change that myself...

Realistically, quite a lot of emails are ignored until engineer really really need to answer and then he quick writes something hard to interpret.
"So you accept the risks and try to deal with them as best as you can."

Dealing with it, would mean there would be consequences. Are there? I rather see they get more and more power. Not exactly how I would reward wrongdoing. (not US citizen, but here in the EU it is pretty much the same)
Does anything stops devs from using the Web interface instead of the API? Sure it makes it a bit more challenging because parsing is involved but AFAIK it is completely legal to parse and display HTML output however you want. It's essentially like a browser add-on.

I wonder if Twitter can be killed by the "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy?

So:

1. Make a client that combines Mastadon/Others and Twitter feeds, making it switching out of Twitter frictionless.

2. Provide extra functionality for non-Twitter posts, encouraging the use of the non-Twitter services.

3. Once have a good traction, penalize Twitter post to further push non-Twitter adoption. Eventually remove Twitter support completely.

4. Profit??

That's what SSHFS is for. No need to limit yourself to whatever happens to be installed on the remote machine. You don't even have to copy config files around.
