The firm will stop making new loans, Reuters previously reported and Semafor confirms, and is weighing a sale of the loans that remain on its books, people familiar with the matter said.

That's the whole point of tests. All tests do that.

This protects against later code changes that change behavior (output or side effects) unintentionally.

When you intend to change behavior then you need to change the tests tests too.
It’s clear to me those workers did a lot, and it’s showing. Just because the company with lots of momentum doesn’t shut down doesn’t mean those employees weren’t needed. It sounds like Twitter is not paying its bills, hasn’t processed the severance promised to laid off employees, is doing a bad job of working with partners and selling ads, has stopped doing effective moderation, the workplaces are dirtier, core services are regularly broken, managers aren’t managing, most of the “features” we’re getting are just things that were already done and rejected (the new for-you/following timeline swipe was rolled out and then back early last year) ga that were just a matter of moving existing data around (the views counter), and no truly new features have been developed yet.
Adrenaline: An AI-Powered Debugger
- Mechanical keyboard: Splurged a bit on a keyboard after going through a bunch of membrane keyboards early in my career. My current keyboard has been up and running for nearly a decade and shows no signs on wear and tear and I expect to have it running a few decades from now as well.

- Cast Iron cookware: This is on the opposite end of the price spectrum, since cast iron cookware is (usually) quite reasonably priced (and maybe even cheaper) compared to really fancy cookware, but I'm quite religious about maintaining my cast iron cookware, and I expect to be able to keep using it as a stable cooking equipment for all sorts of cooking for a few decades more at least.

- Safety razor for shaving: This is a bit sentimental, but when I turned 18, my father gifted me an old-school safety razor for shaving, as a kind of "Welcome to adulthood" gift. I've used it for over a decade now, and despite having a modern electric shaver, I do find myself going back to the razor every now and then, and expect to use it for a few more decades. Yes, it needs fresh razor blades, but the safety razor itself is as sturdy as ever.

OpenFisca: Write Rules as Code
Oh sure trivialize death with covid.

Then complain no-one is masking even when they are obviously sick and coming to work/school.

Hospitalizations with covid are literally the only reliable metric left, there is no testing and no reporting otherwise.

If you remove those statistics you have the dystopia of complete ignorance of illness spreading like wildfire.

Remember some people that get covid will NEVER recover even if they are alive, their quality of life will be gone.

Covid is not the flu, there are long-term consequences even for people who think they are young and healthy and therefore somehow immune to long-term damage.

Let the statistics go, least of your problems, as long as they are done in the same consistent manner then you can compare apples-to-apple.
Sure - I don't think anything is really an absolute in programming, and depending on the use case there are all sorts of ways to structure this.

But in general, if you're making a contract where a promise might reject and using await, you need to be wrapping that code in a try/catch somewhere.

That's the dealio with async/await and promises: you're trading the callback .then().catch() format for try{ await ... }catch(){}.

If you don't want to use try/catch - you need to be making a contract where the failure is not a rejection but an error object. If you want to use rejections, you need to be catching them (in one form or another).
Promise 3's rejection would be awaited and handled after promise 2.

Yes, it might finish over the network before promise 1, but it won't be realized by the program until its await occurs in the for loop.
I don’t think that’s how constitutional challenges work. Sympathy isn’t a prerequisite.
I have an Apple Card and it’s my only credit card. I like the integration with the app and the support when I’ve needed it and I think min/maxing for points or rewards is stupid. It’s why I don’t have any Chase or AMEX cards.

It’s a bummer I seem to be an outlier. I was hoping more people were like me and this would maybe change the credit card industry a bit.
That's aspirational rather than reality. The Supreme Court had no problem with the Patriot Act, which introduced extremely broad electronic searches. You could say the 4th Amendment should restrict searches to specific individuals, that might be a good idea, but for now the Supreme Court sees no need for that interpretation.

Then you probably aren't experiencing nearly the degree of hedonic exhaustion that is being talked about. You might be near zero.

In many contexts there's value in ensuring the behavior doesn't change without being noticed. You're just moving the developer thinking about the expected behavior from when the test is written to when the test fails.
Implementation !== Behavior. You want to test the behavior, not the implementation. I'd expect tests to change when behavior changes, but reimplementing the same behavior, the tests should pass when you're done.
Everyone seems to be assuming that Musk is trying to run Twitter as a profitable business.

I don't think he is. I think he wants to run it as a political influence network.

There's ample precedent. Facebook covertly sold its services to Cambridge Analytica, and both the UK and the US have a number of hopelessly unprofitable media outlets that are heavily subsidised to promote far-right views.

Twitter was a popular and effective (if limited) tool for organisation and dissemination on the Left. I suspect severely damaging that to an election-influencing extent is potentially far more profitable to Musk than selling ads.

If that's the case, he doesn't need to care about building a stable self-sustaining business, only about keeping the lights on for the next couple of years.
Good to see that it starts with Computability and Complexity.

I have to be honest, whenever I get busy and do not watch any video for a couple of days, and then I get back to youtube, I am somewhat disappointed by the content. And recently the algorithm has been really insistent on having me watch certain videos. I just open the page and see a couple of videos I did not want to watch the last time around.
> But let me ask you a different question. Can one engineer increase the companies revenues by 0.1%?
If they can, they just made the company $5m/yr

Well, maybe $2.5m since musk took over and tanked the company's revenue.

I'm not sure if 1 employee can increase twitters' revenues by 0.1%, but one CEO has decreased it by about 70%.
Point well taken, but at the same time, we have to wonder what the alternative here was.

Personally, when I was watching that day, I was thinking "Why are they letting all these people go? Why aren't they mass arresting them there on the spot? Won't it be hard to later go back and arrest these people after the fact? Arresting them on the spot is proof they committed a crime, so where are the busses and the handcuff?"

I was later told by a friend in law enforcement that doing such a thing at the scale of 1/6 is an extreme safety hazard for officers, and increases the likelihood of a bloodbath for all involved.

So what are the choices?

1) Arrest everyone on the spot, risk a bloodbath

2) Let everyone go and send the message that insurrection is okay, and that if you try this again next election, you'll have a low chance of getting arrested. The only thing worse than a failed insurrection is letting failed insurrectionists have a second go with the benefit of experience.

3) Let everyone go and get creative with technology. It avoids a bloodbath, helps enforce the law, and makes clear that insurrection is not to be tolerated. Maybe this diminishes our civil rights a bit, but the constitutional order is still intact (we're not tossing out all laws to get the devil. Makes for a good moment in a play but no one is arguing for that here), and you're free to use that order to bolster civil rights, as so many have done in the past. I think this is a good compromise. Then we can try to prevent insurrections before they happen, instead of using geofencing to arrest those who already perpetrated one.

>All of those things are quite niche.

The reasons vertical tabs are niche:

1. horizontal is the default in every browser
2. The most popular browser doesn't have any way to have functional vertical tabs
3. It is a huge pain to set up vertical tabs in Firefox
4. Safari's implementation of vertical tabs is a sad joke.

Vertical tabs are clearly superior and there is no doubt that horizontal tabs will eventually be a relic of the dysfunctional past.
Apologies, I was a little bit sarcastic and I shouldn’t have been. They are striking because they are unexpected.
I'm pretty sure some topics are just outright muted to prevent abuse (not that it's a bad thing).

For example, if you were on /new over the past 6 months, it was extremely common to see a "Twitter"-titled article get 20+ upvotes and never see the frontpage. People were outright obsessing over Twitter, posting everything they could find, no matter how benign or uninteresting it's content was. Locking the topic until verifiably interesting things happen was a great solution. It probably works similarly for other keywords, too.
> IMHO, this should have been a private tool of theirs.

This is the most depressing toxic response masked as constructive criticism that I've read on this site in, well, at least a day.

> No it does not. It requires a console, and not all systems have a console.

It does not. You just send the log output somewhere (often a different system). If you have a deployment with no logging infrastructure (either local for smaller setups or distributed for large scale), you have a major problem beyond just debugging visibility.

You're thinking of data races, but, (safe) Rust doesn't have data races. You can't write them.

In C++ if you write a data race, that's Undefined Behaviour, game over. This difference might be astonishing, but it's a fundamental design choice.

The data race requires two things to coincide and in (safe) Rust they can't. You need mutation of a value which isn't synchronised with access to that value. In concurrent C or C++ it's trivial to do this by mistake, you now have a data race and so UB. But you can't write this in safe Rust.

There's Colima[0], but in my experience it still isn't as stable as Docker Desktop. It also isn't any faster and I doubt any competing software will be, since the best way to virtualize Linux on macOS right now is to use Apple's Virtualization.framework with VirtioFS which is exactly what DD (and Colima) is doing.

On a personal note, I find the menu bar icon useful to see whether the VM is running and to pause/resume it (a functionality that none of the alternatives have).

From the “Political Hypocrisy” Wikipedia article, which although itself is not really accurate for common usage in the present time, says:
“
Political hypocrisy or hypocrisy in policy refers to any discrepancy between what a political party claims and the practices the party is trying to hide.
“
There’s nothing that’s attempted to be hidden in strategic speech, because the purpose is not to communicate facts (whether true or false). It’s purpose is to acquire support from the public. That’s not a secret!

Yes your description of the situation in Eastern Europe is accurate, although I would remove the emotive language and note that there are multiple parties responsible besides USG, and USG’s purposes are more aligned with the welfare of Ukrainian citizens excluding Russian ethnic minorities than the administrators of the Russian federation.
They are beautiful in how they are out of the ordinary, but also difficult to digest for one’s eyes. Orange is complementary colour of blue and green is close to blue as a colour, which produces some visual vibration.
We use a Roku with an LG OLED, mostly to avoid connecting the TV to the internet. Turns out if you use the HDMI ARC for audio (we connected to a soundbar) and everything in the chain is new enough, then the Roku remote volume buttons will adjust the soundbar volume just fine. Roku remote can also turn the TV on and off, so we don't need the LG remote now except to change to a different input.

Another issue here is there is a problem with laws which are broad enough that it requires selective enforcements for them to be available. Because then you can get a problematic force which then uses them selectively for political purposes. This indeed is how the Soviet state worked and indeed current Russian state works to quash dissent.
> Existing solutions don't integrate within an environment, and not within each other.

Integration is surface, the interface to the user. Not the concepts or libs.

> I go into much trouble to explain my position on general data structures in the article I have linked previously.

Sorry, but not reading that, not after the first article. Too long, not enough meat, too unfocused. You should write shorter articles and stick to the topic when you want to reach people. Life is too short and full of content.

> If you start doing all that, you are then trying to fit logs through a meatgrinder. You then have bloat, inefficiency, and all that other good stuff.

And if you don't work with a solid foundation, you will start accumulating bloat of small pieces.

> I mean, you see, this is exactly why we have so many problems right now: people trying to use a general solution for everything.

That's wrong. Problems will always exist. Everything is a compromise of tradeoffs. It's not possible to have no problems. Well, except to no do it at all. The main reason why people tend to use more generalized solutions, is because it allows them to move faster, and specialize later if necessary.

Structures are also such a compromise. It enables you to handle more and press it into a form, but you will lose liberty to use forms outside your structure. Understanding and managing the tradeoffs is relevant here. There is a reason why we have types in the first place, and not write everything directly in memory like on a canvas. Similar there is a reason why we not have a thousand different types doing slightly the same thing, but use inheritance to build specialized types from a handful of basic types. XML is such a basic type, for tree-structures. And it is a good starting-point to build a foundation for structured editing. It is not the only type, but at the moment, the problem is, that there is not even this.

> It may be complex in comparison to notepad, sure, but,

Notepad is not an advanced editor.
Is there even any editor which has a more complex editing than the vi-family?

It seems like all ad (and tracking) supported companies know how to do is optimize for engagement, which effectively means becoming addictive. This business model is too easy and too profitable to ever go away, so all we can do is learn to recognize it, and learn how to it responsibly.

I have an LG TV (bedroom), one of the higher end Sony's (main TV), and the Sony is much better, IMO. The LG is constantly nagging for software upgrades, and once there is an available option it puts up a nag screen EVERY time you turn it on, making it very difficult to ignore. The LG also seems to be constantly removing apps and features, or just needlessly altering things. The Sony software updates have seemed less frequent and more logical.

100% would not buy another LG TV.

Sadly no. It was maybe 10 years ago when my parents needed to unplug and redo their home theater and I was living away from home. But this is a good example. It should be easy for software to figure out. The hard part would be populating the database. however, it could be crowd sourced maybe.
I’ve seen countless truly insane car drivers over the years where I honestly thought people were going to die. Some did die.

I’ve also have seen some truck crashes where I’m like “how is that even possible?”

The thing with truck drivers is the bad ones don’t last very long. It’s almost impossible to get another driving job after getting fired for being a shitty driver.

—edit—

And law enforcement holds professional drivers to a higher standard so there’s no talking your way out of a ticket if they see you doing something stupid. Most of the time that’s when they get all up into the logbook and full on level 1 DOT inspection on the truck.
Not all. I’m reading it here on HN, for example.

It seems like the lost staff were somewhat necessary for twitter’s old model, since the company seems to be losing advertising revenue. The technical service is also becoming less reliable, which supports other comments here that it is building up technical debt.

But I think that Musk had an idea for transforming Twitter into a new distribution for distributing music and video. It might be easier to transform the company and build the new service after breaking down the original model.

Maybe simply creating a new startup without messing with Twitter would have been more prudent, but probably less exciting for Musk.
