Im using PopOS(LTS) for work and its been working for me for a year, a few issues that I had to deal with but nothing crazy.
Twitter put in a reasonable about of effort to keep old clients working and compatible with backend changes. We had checks in place to avoid breaking changes to clients that were years old, and when things did occasionally get through they were rolled back very, very quickly. If I remember correctly there are people with old devices/jailbreaks running things like clients on like iOS 7 and things still work for them for the most part.
This isn’t a throwaway? Just because I’m new doesn’t mean I can’t make a good point.

Google sign-in required for what reason?
It was a terrible pile of overengineered sophomoric semantic-nonsense second-system effect garbage from day 1. The need for everything to be an extension and XML was a millstone around every client and server's neck, the XML validation is directly blamed for the downfall of Google Wave but it also seems like that drag was the primary reason why the client experience always sucked. The reason the only successful uses of XMPP are in closed ecosystems isn't nefarious companies trying to control it (although there are those), it's because the only way you can actually get a reliably compatible experience for the kind of rich chat that everyone expects these days is if you control the clients and servers together.

I genuinely think the main reason there are no successful open-source chat apps is that XMPP dragged them all down.

They aren't founding members, sure, but they are governing members. I doubt they'd be allowed lead the organization built around AV1 without helping it in some way.

> It seems their AOM membership is mostly a signal to the license cartels that eventually "paying for codecs is not going to be ok, unless you give us a good deal".

Yeah, I really hope this isn't the case. A universal, free, open codec like AV1 would be great to have.

There is some evidence[1] of Apple adding support at least.

From the outside it seemed like lets go hard on this foreign player from an eastern European country no one cares about hurting relations with. He didn't get the vaccine and we are still trying to push lockdowns hard locally lets use this to score political points.

I feel bad for him that he got caught up in local politics.
I understand those normal people ate up the rich guy foreign ploy. What they missed was their rights were being trampled on while the rest of the world opened up and they were distracted by a fake booeyman.
"Simply put, the Linux desktop is hardly anywhere close to prime time."

Yeah I am going to have to disagree with you there. Been running PopOS for a year and its pretty close to were it needs to be.
Instead of "now I own..." it would be more accurate to say that the author has been tricked by the police into maintaining custody of the records, without having any ownership claim to them, and being unable to sell them or give them away because they're obviously stolen property, and being unable to dispose of them because they're obviously evidence of a crime (theft).
As a child, I re-read The Number Devil constantly. It introduced me to some really cool mathematical ideas, couched in a cute story. The very last chapter includes a picture of the Principia Mathematica's proof of 1 + 1 = 2 -- mostly for shock value, I think, but also "even this is within your reach". I recently got to see a friend's copy of the Principia, and I realized just how much of it I actually did understand, which was a really nice closing of the loop.

As an adult, Imre Lakatos' Proofs and Refutations gave me a much richer understanding of definitions in mathematics -- what job they're meant to do, and when it makes sense to change your definitions instead of adding premises to your theorems.

It wasn’t lofty. It was real and existed that way. For some time too.

Maybe the scientific approach to manufacturing and maintaining adoption and the ways to do it was part of the issue.

Experiencing this early way expanded your mind and viewpoints, instead of feeding your more on the track you are to keep you scrolling. It wasn’t as much as everything was new, only that there were so many different things being experienced by others.

Unfortunately, things went towards depth instead of breadth and folks doubled down instead of discovering and being often to viewpoints and things they didn’t know anything about.

Still, maybe there’s a path forward to have a better self discovery service that’s focused on growing throw exposing to new ideas instead of doubling down on what you are today and cementing that in place.

The primacy effect is powerful for good things as much as not.
Something insidious that happened to a lot of customers with Impossible, and I actually think this is a "good" thing for those who were omnivorous-- Burger King(One of the largest fast food chains in America) was cooking Impossible Burgers in the same grease as real meat. People were saying "Wow Impossible tastes just like beef, maybe better!"

I think this kind of transition, while somewhat deceptive, is great because it opens people's minds to the idea of a plant burger. Later on, you can eliminate the beef grease and the same people will continue enjoying Impossible Burgers because their palate has become more receptive. Then perhaps they might be open to other vegetarian options that are less oriented toward animal meat. I think these kind of gradual behavior changes are quite powerful where beating someone over the head with tofu and chickpeas fails.
It is an objectively true remark on the increasing trend of book bans that discuss specifically race and intersectional topics in the United States. Here (1) is as apolitical a source I can find that discusses this phenomenon.

The actual regular Twitter experience is better than it's ever been. All the easily-outraged people leaving is a feature not a bug.
I so much wish that usenet was still a thing. If someone would give me a bunch of money I would love to spend the rest of my career working on bringing usenet back to the mainstream with spiffy web/app clients.
Actually, also as an Australian:

I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that's true in the Northern half* of the country that people think applies everywhere, like crocodiles and jellyfish that kill you. I've lived in SA and Vic all my life and all my friends would just be insulted if I called them cunt instead of mate.

* "Northern Half" of course meaning above the Barassi Line and probably adding the NT, not the real geographic north.

Maybe read an actual history book about the Depression, instead of a novel.
You have it backwards. Ethical obligations mean unethical things like government blacklists should be leaked in their entirety.
I think both your example and parent's example are distinctly different from my example in terms of motivations.

In my (grandparent) example, motivation appeared to be purely money.
In parent's example, motivation was mostly transportation and convenience. And a total selfish disregard of everyone else but themselves is present, just like in my example.
In your example, motivation is several things that take a fair amount of time to unwrap. And it really depends on type of tagging. Something that Banksy tags, for instance, is on a different level than some "420 blaze it" that you would see on a highway underpass.

It's fair to say in all three cases that the person doing the bad is being callous - a disregard of the property owner's time and money occurs. In the former cases, it's from a space of likely callous disrespect. But in the latter cases, like the Banksy-esque ones, it's intentional.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to say here beyond that tagging isn't just a knee-jerk bad thing. I guess I want to say "people who are taggers generally suck, but there are a few people who are awesome that also tag so don't throw all people who do tagging into a single bucket of suck
It didn't help that the USSR kept devoting up to 25% of their economy to the military. Improving the standards of living just wasn't a priority, the planning system was set to "just enough to avoid riots" and failed at even that.
that's fair. I just didn't like seeing git sold down the river for the feature it does better than what was before :)

maybe "git with wimpy locks" would be a nice feature. if you're editing files, the center node could keep track of that, and if I go to edit one of those files, I could be told that you've already edited it. I could forge ahead ("break the lock" and you would get notice) or I could ask you. It doesn't resolve all problem between prickly developers with different styles of workflow, but it would increase communication at little cost.
I like the title of this one from ICSE 2021: Why Don't Developers Detect Improper Input Validation?'; DROP TABLE Papers;--
The barefoot thing is just cultural, not because people can't afford shoes.

The state of housing in NZ is indeed abysmal; I don't know why it's so bad.

Being a small isolated country probably plays part in the high cost of living; not so easy to import (or export) physical goods.

It's really hard to directly compare "wealth" between countries though, as many aspects of the system are often different; healthcare and general social security are the obvious things to point out there.
I saw in another comment that you use the avatar images for fake user accounts that are as realistic as possible - that's pretty cool.

Coming back to what you noticed about the personas page. Another GitLab team member (u/john_cogs) created a Merge Request[1] to update the page so that there's a "List of internal personas" to match the list at the top :)

She had only shared it with known journalists that she had a relationship at time of writing, and seems pretty bright.

Hypothetically she might get scammed by someone and irresponsibly disclose but let's not condemn her for it yet.
This sounds made up. The movie was in Soviet theaters for "a few short weeks."

1) How long does it take to see a car,

2) if the censors cared about cars, why was the film released at all,

3) and how much longer than a few weeks do films run?

-----

Also what the given reference (http://lisa.revues.org/802?lang=en#ftn2) actually says is:

> Shown behind the Iron Curtain, The Grapes of Wrath elicited the common reaction that “in America even the tramps have cars.”

with no attribution for the quote, and no connection to Stalin or a Soviet theater run.

Urban poverty is something else entirely, man. You dont have the option of burning firewood or coal to keep warm in the winter. Or somewhere to burn it. You don't have the option to go barefoot, because your feet will be destroyed by broken glass, needles, and razorblades.

But it's okay. America is rich, and im sure the silly poor americans are just complaining for no reason.

> Snowden was a compromised asset of Russia, working for them.

So Snowden was a Russian asset, who wanted to go against Russia by leaking information about a US surveillance program, and then after failing being a Russian asset, went back to Russia...??

I'm having a lot of trouble with this line of logic, can you point me to something credible on this?

I can 100% believe there was a selfish purpose, but this doesn't seem like it.

Hmmm is that the one with the windmill rest stop thingy nearby?
Here's the thing though, both of these cases have no reason to be brought to SCOTUS because it fails to show aggrieved party or harm done. In the NY case, the law itself was already moot, and therefore the case should've been dismissed. In the EPA case, there was could be no harm done, because no regulation had passed. By this logic I should have a legal right to sue anyone due to a potential violation of any civil liberty without first proving any actual violation whatsoever... which is clearly nonsense.

SCOTUS took up both these cases for clearly political reasons as opposed to good law.

Any feedback in the comments would be great if you are able to use it!
yeah, surprised as well. In finance, there is ofac for people forbidden from moving money, but it's also typically used as a service/db instead of passing around csv files to everyone. Very bizarre.
> the Soviets that viewed “The Road to Wrath”, as it was titled in the U.S.S.R, were in complete awe that even the poorest of the poor in the United States were able to save their money and afford an automobile. As the wrong message continued to spread, Stalin decided to pull the film from theaters after a few short weeks

Pulling a movie from theaters at that time was pretty equivalent to banning it. I don't see what doesn't match.
I find it particularly amusing that you used the wrong pronoun while scolding me to use the correct pronouns for her.

If that doesn't prove the impracticality of using "it" as a pronoun, I don't know what does.

It breaks the rules of English that we all understand subconsciously, so it's difficult to do without consciously thinking about every single usage of a pronoun in a sentence, which is not how most people type.
I look at retiring developers and wonder how they built Windows applications with no internet access, MSDN on CD-ROM and Petzold's books.

The next generation will look at me with their AI tools and wonder how I built anything with primitive internet searches and StackOverflow.
I asked myself this for a long time and I worked on a first party client for Twitter. Still don't have a good answer for this.
SEC Awards Approximately $18M to Three Whistleblowers
I don't know about "destabilizing" per se, but whenever people try to set prices significantly above or below market, there tend to be consequences. If OpenAI paid $5/hr when people are more than willing to accept $1.5/hr, demand for those jobs would far outstrip supply, leading to intense competition for those positions. Situations like this often lead to corrupt practices where the bureaucrats/middlemen who find themselves in a position to determine who get these jobs end up capturing a significant portion of the profits, either directly or indirectly.
Yeah, but even worse. You need to add a lot of nucleons to iron just to get to (impure, radioactive) lead, and then from there to gold.

How would it not be a CFAA violation? E.g. if they included the official client's API key, surely that falls under "(6) knowingly and with intent to defraud traffics (as defined in section 1029) in any password or similar information through which a computer may be accessed without authorization, if—(A) such trafficking affects interstate or foreign commerce".

(I say this not because I think it should be a crime, but because I think the CFAA is a terribly broad law)
Love the new ToC links on the left.

Call me a pathological contrarian, but I try to step extra carefully when dealing with a matter where there doesn't seem to be room for any sympathy. More often than not, it's those obviously-righteous times that have led to my behaving like the biggest ass.

Better to do a happy thing with a smile on your face, and a grim thing with no expression at all.
I was 18 in 2003 so I can remember the tech of that era vividly.

I got my first mobile phone in 2002. Mobile phones had been around for a while but at least in Australia phone plans were very expensive and it was not really affordable for my parents to pay for a phone for me while I was in High school.

A few of my friends had phones towards the end of High School (maybe 40% of people had a phone by end of school) but mostly you would call people's land lines to get in touch with them. The most popular phone at the time was the Nokia "Brick phones" like the 3210.

My first phone was a Motorola I can't remember the model but it was absolutely privative compared to modern day phones - it had a monochrome screen, no camera or anything like that. About the only cool feature was it had was a polyphonic ringtone which was pretty advanced for the time. A Few years later (2005ish) I upgraded my handset to a "flip phone" which had color screen and a camera (but camera quality was shocking everything just a mess of pixels).

I want to say it was maybe 2007 or 2008 when I started to get data (i.e. internet) on my phone it was really slow (and expensive) but I remember looking up a train timetable on my phone and thinking it was revolutionary, having the internet in your pocket genuinely felt game changing.

I purchased a computer with money I saved up working over the summer before I started Uni. It was a Pentium 4 with a 2 ghz Clock speed. It ran Windows XP (Cheaper lower end computers at the time had Windows Millennium Edition, which was complete garbage). It had a 19 inch CRT monitor which weighed a tonne. "Flat panel" LCD screens were available but were very expensive.

ADSL internet had just started coming out in Australia, before that it was 56k dial up or cable (which was extremely expensive I only knew one person with cable internet). I used to play games like Starcraft and Diablo 2 over dial up around this time period, if my Mum picked up the phone to make a call the internet would drop out.

DVD's were relatively new technology. I got the Collectors Edition DVD of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift, it is still one of my prized possessions.

If my 18 year old self was to look around my home today he would be in awe of how much the technology has changed.
Higher suicide rates when they aren't locking workers inside under watch and putting nets up around tall buildings?

Not exploiting starving men in exchange for spoiled food can be proven to result in increased deaths too. Doesn't make the exploitation okay. Companies can continue to employ overseas labor at attractive rates without allowing those workplaces to be sweatshops and we should insist that they do, not give them a pass to abuse people for profit just because they throw the people they hurt scraps in the process.
yeah. but their 2cpu with 4gb of ram aint competitive enough at ~$22/mo. That and swearing off vendor locked ci, switched to Terraform and Capistrano.
West Germany had massive amounts of American capital dumped into it in the post-war period as part of the Marshall plan. Japan as well. Again, not comparable.

FWIW I'm no expert on Germany post-war, but from a personal POV my father was born in 1944 and grew up in post-war Germany (Mainz) and my Opa worked for the city in post-war building reconstruction (knew the story of every building in the centre of the city by heart and when I visited told me everything he knew). So I've some interest in the topic.

As for the rest of your points, plenty of valid observations for the period of the 50s, 60s, 70s but we are talking 1948. The war had barely ended.

It's ridiculous to compare a country recently ravaged by brutal total war which lost 26 million people, millions of which were civilians -- to a country which lost just 400,000, almost all in the armed forces (and, again, was a destination for immigration both before and after).
> When that interview came out it was completely astonishing to read that this option is in play at all for such a traditional meat processor.

The meat producer who had already been dominating the vegan refrigerators… It’s not as if their prediction of 40% for the next year came out of nowhere.
The difference was the the US poured money into (half of) Germany and (all of) Japan and took complete control, up to and including the point of actually writing Japan's constitution.
I wonder what the motivation was. Anarchism is mentioned elsewhere, so if I wonder if that’s a motivating factor here. At any rate, I appreciate that people are trying their best to be respectful. Personally, I’d also prefer to use “she” if that’s alright with her (it?). This becomes confusing quickly when we’re also trying to use it abstractly to refer to arguments and concepts.
Plastics have very LONG carbon chains, usually with many double bonds, and very little hydrogen.

Which plastics? The most common ones, polyethylene and polypropylene, which this method is designed to process, are entirely hydrogen and carbon, with no double bonds. I don't dispute that additional hydrogen is necessary to crack the polymers into shorter ones, but your description of plastics does not seem to be completely correct.

Yep. Building (consumer) mobile apps is a mug's game.
It's really not that hard to keep a mental lookup table for each person and their custom pronouns and declensions.

Another pretty elegant solution I've found if there's too much confusion amongst our team is to suggest people switch to learning Hungarian which doesn't have gendered pronouns. A few years of intense study is a small price to pay so that we can avoid the catastrophic mistakes of accidentally calling someone who's not in the room the wrong gender

But that doesn't follow.

1. US has reserve currency status

2. That makes the purchasing power of the USD stronger (because USD > other currency)

3. Citizens benefit from that

Ok, but other currencies have even stronger purchasing power than the USD.
