I don't think chronological timeline is going away though, it's still there on the Mobile Web version at least. There's two tabs: For You and Following. For You is the recommendation timeline and Following is chronological.
Excellent point. Banning through cancelation. I have “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” by Dr. Suess. It's in bad condition, but I can show my son what the fuss is about. We can talk about it and have a discussion.

> Are you designing a motherboard?
Yes, the team I work for designs server motherboards.

BMC security is what keeps me up at night. Firmware software quality is low, and often not up to date. I think openbmc does a good job in both respects.
Jack Dorsey did try funding a competing federation protocol called Bluesky[0], but I imagine anyone at Twitter who was in favor of that has either left or been fired.

Law of averages. If I am hacked, then likely millions of other people are hacked, and I haven't heard about millions of people being hacked. QED.
Seems entirely trivial to notice the pattern of lag spiking exactly at the moment of the kill.
Did these app had any revenue sharing / paid APIs with twitter or were they using free public APIs?
> The chronological timeline has this same weekend been removed from the Twitter WWW interface and 1st-party app

Well, I left a bit ago, but if I hadn't that would be the end for me. That's the only view I used on Twitter, and found the non-chronological timeline to have almost no value at all.

Definitely haven't regretted my decision to leave, but that decision is such a strong reinforcement of that decision.
. Big tech companies are a bit like states. They have something like citizenship, taxes, and laws.

What taxes, laws, and citizenship is unqiue to tech companies? I assume you mean money to join, rules, and membership. There are business outside of tech that have this
In that case wouldn't the plane be at such a speed and distance along the runway as to not be able to physically stop before the end?
You don't have to swear on a bible
I like to think so but I'm not sure that's true. At least I don't think I've ever seen anyone divide a stack in half, then divide the left one in half, then divide the left one of that in half, etc. as if they're doing recursive mergesort. I feel like most people start from the first card and build upward, either with insertion sort or with something like iterative mergesort.
You can effortlessly configure Neovim with Fennel nowadays.

This is a good example: https://github.com/nyoom-engineering/nyoom.nvim

The one trade-off is that it's not the first class language, so you still have to mentally translate from Lua to Fennel sometimes.
Please give it a go. For all the talk about needing to know things and the process being complicated, I've only heard from one person who actually had any issues with that side of the system. I think people mostly overthink this. For example, go to https://hachyderm.io , register your account, done. If you want to research other instances and think about it some more in the future, you can move somewhere else - you're not stuck to one place. In the meantime, I don't ever think of the "entire concept of how different servers work" while using the service.

It never occurred to me how strange it is that a company providing people an online socialization medium prioritized non-human entities’ abilities to use their platform.
Well who is upstream? Pypa? Python steering council? Python itself won't do much without pypa approval. Pypa won't endorse an existing or new tool that solves most mainstream cases well.

It also depends on which platform you're on. Traditional forum software has lots of moderation tools at your disposal. Chat software tends to be more limited. GitHub has virtually no tooling for moderatings issues/PRs and blocking abusive people. It's much harder to ignore negativity when you can't decisively remove them from your working environment.
Chronological timeline has not been removed. It is now shown more clear under the Following tab instead of the old starry icon.

My guess is the 3rd party clients need to stop filtering out the ads or risk making the suspension permanent.
It’s actually a little worse than that. You download an app that has an extension bundled. Some apps are just shells for their extension. Others have extensions bundled for additional functionality. PayPal bundles Honey in their main app so that anybody who has PayPal already downloaded can just enable Honey in their Safari browser. But it doesn’t do anything unless it’s enabled.
Ah, but that's because those people were presumably used to Windows 3.1, where when the computer started up, a window opened displaying an icon grid of programs you could open. From the perspective of one of these people, Windows 95 is like if Windows 3.1 failed to finish booting up, so Program Manager never started, and you were stuck just staring at the wallpaper.
And if they had a contract, so what?

Musk famously does not care about contracts. Note that the only reason he ended up buying Twitter is that Deleware's corporate courts really don't fuck around and were likely going to force him to buy it pronto despite his attempts to wriggle out. But he'll happily screw over lesser people, as he's doing with various vendors, like Twitter's landlords: https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-landlord-sues-compan...

Explain to me how a small software vendor, even with the best contract in the world, is going to force Musk to turn back on their access in a timely enough fashion that they'll still have a business left? And be able to do it for a modest enough amount of money that the ISV will still be turning a profit?
> Even the danger of nuclear energy is less harmful compared to ChatGPT because you still need many experts to build an atomic bomb or a very expensive power plant that potentially turns a large area unusable for thousands of years. It's not that we haven't had multiple incidents proving that point.

I'm sure the victims of nuclear weapons and accidents would very much like to disagree. Misinformation (which seems to be the most dangerous harm mentioned) is hardly comparable to these things, even taking into account the expertise needed to create a nuclear bomb or power plant.

Also, the author complains that in the past you could tell what was misinformation by identifying typos. Plenty of misinformation lacked misspellings and grammar mistakes before ChatGPT, and this very article contained a few of its own. If anything, this will stop people from relying on writing style as a way of verifying the validity of a statement (which is silly), and start using critical thinking to do so. In the end, this is the only way to ever find "the truth", especially in areas where you have no prior knowledge as the author worries about. People aren't helpless to good writing.
because online they can follow you around the internet and lie about you or otherwise harass you. This is something that has definitely happened.

Also,since they can probably connect you to you real name,who knows what else they might do.
Is Web3 the Future?
Do you think web3 is the future? if yes, how can we harness it's power?
I really do think functional UI design peaked somewhere in the early to mid 2000's. Right after that people started speaking of skeumorphism as a pejorative and that meant anything that looked 3d in any sense or resembled any kind of real world object had to be scrubbed out. If you could tell what something did, that by definition meant it was old fashioned! And the UI frameworks at the time almost made it hard to build something where there was a UI action without a corresponding menu item and shortcut key. You could bring up the menus like a site map of the application to see everything it could do (site maps - another relic of the 2000's!).
Part of the convenience is in having uniform syntax for data access and modification, no matter what the target is.

Is it "worthwhile" to use this when you have it? No doubt in my mind.

Is it worthwhile to add a build time dependency for it? Maybe depends on application.
Yes, that's exactly how it goes. Similar to how right after meeting a deadline and the whole team breathes a sigh of relief. I worked one place that made golden masters for shrink-wrap reproduction. The brilliant person in shipping (as in "shipping and receiving" not specifically software) would secretly hold on to them for a week regardless of how behind schedule and late we were with the release. Almost every time a day or two later, someone would remember something and there would be a panic recall and Leslie would say "no problem" let me know when you have it.
This seems basically equivalent to saying that whether or not a sort is stable is irrelevant, right? If the position of elements with equal keys doesn’t matter for your application, then of course there’s no reason to use a stable sort (or convert a non-stable one to stable by whatever trick).
Apparently it's the same for engagement with content. I've seen a few people comparing their large user bases and getting the same amount of link clicks on Twitter and from ~10% of that many followers on Mastodon.
> I don't know, seems simple to me.

I think it’s already covered by a system called “taxation”, in which the government requires we pay for our income, the right to own the house we bought, the amount we made on retail sales, the right to live in our state, the right to live in our county, etc.
A problem I see is that humans are very susceptible to BS if it plays into their fears and biases (see: Hitler). The human mind seems pretty hackable and is exploited by people of power all the time. I'd wager that AI will become even better, more efficient and more precise at doing this.

Yeah, government types which disregard democracy tend to have that attribute.
to be frank, it's time people switch to digital. we still need paperbacks, for sure. but we can digitalize pretty much everything else.
I don't really see what you're saying re: Purah, but I'll take your word for it. Mipha and Riju are both adults, though, aren't they?

If it's just about their designs, Riju has the same basic design that Gerudo have had since Ocarina of Time, and as for Mipha, I'll just link to Princess Ruto's concept art:

They might not be on radios any more, but round mutually-exclusive pop-up buttons are still something everyone in the modern world runs into — as, to this day, they're the idiomatic way to do speed selection on table fans.
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. It seems like the previous executive team was walking a tightrope of satisfying several competing interests, whereas the current leadership has gone all-in on monetizing to the maximum extent possible.
More likely is a shift to have news updates through instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.
Cry me a river. Build something based on a third party platform and expect possible consequences like this as its vagaries and ownership details change. Most of the post reeks of self absorption and naval gazing. Yep, some billionaire that for the moment isn't quite popular among the glitterati of social justice and elite media bought a major social network only to change it in ways you don't like. It happens, adjust. It might be fashionable to pour shit on Musk but nothing new or horrible happened here as far as the world of tech is concerned. Twitter was treading shit with all kinds of bad policies long before space man came along to apply his own brand of convoluted management..

Many (if not most) contribute to FOSS projects under their real names, and often have their email addresses (even if maybe project specific), so they can bother you off list in various ways.

This happens in FOSS projects even to this day. There's this one dude who is banned from a popular linux distro mailing list, so he reads the public archives and emails the people he has disagreements with to yell at them.

Nobody who signed up for that list expected to be yelled at by some asshole.

Others have followed maintainers of projects to other projects to yell at them and spread lies about them to others.
That's true - I haven't seen lockstep used outside of RTSs.
Interesting that programming went in the same direction. Blameless post-mortems etc.
Why would 'climate change deniers' think that money that wasn't appropriated in 2018 still isn't appropriated in 2023? You'd think people would just want the more reliable water supply they voted for regardless of their beliefs...

It’s not that they’re filtering. The API doesn’t give you access to the ads.

Also if that was the case I’d expect Twitter to communicate about it.
I really like the look and feel of Tiger and Leopard. Also of Haiku and GNOME 2 (around 6.10 Edgy Eft).

They look nice and skeumorphic. Flat design is just lazy design and makes things hard for users.

My parents no longer understand what's a button and what isn't. They find modern desktops really confusing.

I hate modern desktops so much I just pretend they don't exist and run bare X with tiled windows, usually one only and fullscreen.
Sometimes I feel I'm the only person who thinks tech debt is not that difficult to solve.

Everything needed to be solved is under your control. It may take time and be boring, but you have everything you need to solve it.

Product-market-fit, customer acquisition, and etc. are often much more urgent/difficult to solve, and we should focus on those first.

What I've seen in a lot of teams is tech debt (or speculative tech debt if we move quickly) is exaggerated to the point that they cannot launch quickly to acquire and iterate with customers, which is a huge mistake in product development.
Please allow me to vent on python packaging.

I was working to debug a very weird error that was happening in my code only when my app was raising a warning through my `warnings.py`.

My code was importing numpy, which in turn was trying to import its own `warnings.py`, but because of the python environment precedence, it was loading my own `warnings.py` which unfortunately had the same name.

How on earth was this something that passed the design of the import / package system of python? Why there are not unique id’s for the imported modules?

TLDR: An imported package took dependency on my own code because of module name clashing and lead to unexpected behavior.

Not to copy another comment that basically is saying "what do you propose?"

There are people who want a revolution or civil war. What happens after, assuming they win? They form another government, why won't the same situations they don't like occur again?

Oh because we should have laws about this and enforcement. We have that now and if there isn't a law, like against stock trading, you can vote for that but people don't.

The same situation with occur again the only difference being a economic and human disaster of a war.

The customers would notice because with mastodon the apps would actually fetch content.
you do realise that twitterific shaped a LOT of twitter in the early days, like he says in the article? that the concepts they pioneered in their app, which twitter didn't have (they didn't have a first party app for quite a while) are integral concepts to the very foundations of twitter?

Do you still remember what actual toolchain you used to build Age2? I have been looking into these games for some time, and the Mac build has been helpful, but has some oddities, like very weird floating point argument passing to functions, or unpredictable vtable placement ... knowing which exact compiler toolchain was used, would be incredibly helpful! I know it's probably some VisualAge C++ version because of the name mangling, but not exactly which.

I always liked the version with no branching statements. In python it would be roughly:

def fizz_buzz_str(n):

def to_str(n):
return str(n)

def fizz_buzz(n):
funcs = [
to_str,
fizz_str,
buzz_str,

People who use cameras (dash cams, action cams, drone cameras), portable game consoles (by which I mean the Switch, yes, but also all those Shezhen "retro consoles"), and a few other things. People do still know what SD cards are, even if they don't have a slot for one on their flagship phone.

Nevertheless, the real issue is more that "saving" isn't really something you do any more; almost all apps now autosave and restore on restart, such that the real action that needs an icon isn't "save"; it's the option you get when you indicate you'd like to close an open, but unnamed project/document without quitting the application: "give this project/document a name."
Man, this brings back memories. People fighting over char in the lobbies, some derivative of “laggy” used a slur to try and get someone you don’t like to leave the game before enough people joined, etc. fun times!
Aha Moment: Clearpol
Not one thing that Musk had done prior to his purchase of Twitter ever suggested to me that he would do anything but exactly what he's doing @Twitter. Everything about him suggested "freedom for me (and my ilk), but not for thee" would be how things would proceed.

twitterific and tweetbot were amazing polished UIs that made twitter better, before twitter even had a first party app. and twitterific coined tonnes of metaphors and UI that twitter uses to this day.

Show HN: Koinos Kosmos – News from Around the World
A little project to display news from around the world, from a local source. I wanted to see what people all over the world might be thinking or dealing with and I think this does a decent job at it.

Many of the sites are the national news agency, when I didn't find one, I then chose a popular news site.

I selected for English first and only when there wasn't one, I took the website and then run translate it. This means that the news sources are biased for English speakers, possibly expats.

Please let me know if there is a better representative news source.

The missing countries are Kiribati, Micronesia, Nauru and Tuvalu.

An interesting note is that many countries had English news but African countries seemed to only have French and South American countries only had Spanish. These places didn't have English alternatives which might say something about their own identity, maybe it is stronger there or they don't have much to do with the West?
