I mean it seems like the "Mastodon protocol" could just specify that admins should have no expectation of privacy when they communicate in their official capacity. I'd expect the protocol to eventually support account migrations to allow for the best user experience, resilient to the caprices of power-tripping moderators or just badly run servers.
Not for server workloads though.

I’m a writer who used to write on medium, started writing on substack last October. To be honest, I like the business model of medium better. I get paid when people read my stuff. Plus having distribution built in, that’s great. But last year I started posting really thoughtful content that I put a lot of work into, and I would get like dozen views. I had 300 followers and several previously successful articles and I was getting nothing. I get more views on Substack with no distribution at all! So it is just straight up not worth it, in any way, for me to publish on medium. I really feel like it was a bad move to remove the discrete human curation. I really feel like you need a big wheat-chaff separator, so that readers aren’t getting shown clickbait garbage, and writers get distributed if and only if they are actually producing relatively thoughtful, relatively unique content.
I started with elm, moved on to Emacs, pine, then mutt, then taught mitt to my spouse and moved on to a range of odd and unpredictable clients for work including outlook, web based gmail, etc. My wife still uses mutt today as her main client. I have largely given up on email as a main means of communication, but I am happy that there is a subset of the world that goes by with the plain text based clients.
I’m sure you’re right on the goals. What we can only speculate about are their thresholds for shipping v1: it wouldn’t surprise me if, for example, they would opt for a design which used less power but wasn’t as fast for the watch where bandwidth is less critical. As a buyer, I’d be more than willing to take a hit on peak performance if the design used less power or more gracefully handled poor coverage.
Based on this thread and many others, one thing’s for sure, Elm was polarizing!

Ursula just like Macron has been involved in McKinsey scandals, the outcome of which was shoveling money to McKinsey and decimating the German military. Iirc her son was a partner or something. Ursula says all sorts of crazy stuff. The last year of Ursula policies have made sure that the EU is everything BUT sovereign. They are now fully dependent on the US MIC and fully dependent on US resource and energy imports at any price or terms the US wishes.

Looks like everyone here has forgotten that the EU copyright stance is basically to shovel money to the US.

I really wish people here would judge politicians by the outcome of their actions and not by what they say.

For me, it’s more like: if I write on medium, I know my stuff is being put right next to utter shit. I take writing seriously, and it honestly looks bad to be in the platform, because almost everything you see on there is so bad.
I agree. It seems like the target audience is the experienced Deep learning practitioner. Which makes me wonder why such an audience would need this treatment. Why not just read the original paper?

> It is so much more powerful and precise compared to Json Schema.

Maybe so, but the continuing popularity of JSON, YAML, TOML, and recent competitors shows that developers (in general) prefer something that is both easily readable and editable by hand.

Personal opinion of course, but I wouldn't call XML precise, I would call it the opposite because it's too flexible. The older I get, the more I think programming languages/markup languages/config languages should be opinionated and strict.
Throwing some bad commit once a month is not a big deal and not "idiocy" I'm talking about. CI ain't gonna deploy it anyway. At absolute worst you'd have to "git bisect skip" it during bug hunt that one time in two years you get unlucky to hit it.

I'm talking about people that constantly do same stupid stuff or go around system put in place coz they think they are smarter and want to shave few seconds off

We do a bunch of checks in pre-commit stuff but nothing delaying it much, and trust devs will commit working tested code. So far that social contract works just fine

And yes, you can put far less baby bumpers around stuff and go faster if your co-workers are not babies that need every sharp object hidden from them.

> The game is now antisemitic too, because it contains some ancient horn artifact?

No. The game is accused of being antisemitic because it portrays goblins with antisemitic stereotypes - greedy, gold-hoarding, hook-nosed bankers and money-lenders.

Although this isn't entirely exclusive to JKR, as Tolkein had similar issues with his original portrayal of dwarves (which he later tried to rectify,) and this sort of portrayal goes far back in folklore and was purposely rooted in antisemitism. Given JKR's other views and her recent open hostility towards what you would consider "the woke", people aren't willing to assume she was simply naive.

Hi Yawaramin, I remember you fondly from the discord and hope you're well.

> Sure, it was theoretically possible if you did a ton of work, but no one did that, because it would have been a huge amount of work (seriously, a lot).

I think I communicated unclearly. It sounds like you read my statement as "run the exact same code in node or OCaml" which I agree would have been very hard. I had a much simpler multi-service setup where I could share some business logic.

Basically I had two services with the code unique to them stored in different directories, /ocaml-server and /node-server respectively. Both called into a common /lib directory. /ocaml-server had some very hot loops in it, /node-server had more standard business-y code that hooked into various npm packages.

> 'Reason' just rebranded as ReScript

Between the breaking changes and the general change in development philosophy (not really caring about OCaml server side) I felt it was a completely different language. Certainly switching to the ReScript compiler for my project would have required nearly a complete rewrite.
I know what Mastodon is. What you say is true for every social network, you can find your little niche that works for you. I'm speaking in broad terms about the general culture.
This makes sense from an engineering perspective, but misapprehends the purpose of most corporations, which is to funnel rent and laundered government money (subsidies, zero interest rates, contracts) into executive salaries and shareholder returns. This explains why most companies don't care about their products or the people who make them: they're perfunctory.

A significant portion of C(++)'s cruft comes from its catering to one-pass compilers. I will grant you that it simplifies the job of the IDE, but it comes with so many other costs.

The obvious is that it requires forward declaration. However, depending on how back & forth interdependence is, it requires multiple "tiers" of forward declaration to effectively iteratively redeclare (or augment? Now that's some added complexity for all parties involved…) incomplete types until you can complete them. It's one thing to have a nice list of "here's what exists", but it's another to manually detangle dependency graphs. It's bad enough in C++ which already doesn't allow very much interdependence, but it'd be completely infeasible for any language more complex than glorified assembly.

Next, how would compile-time execution work? It's one thing to forward declare the existence of something, but how do you execute it without knowing its definition? You literally have to add another pass. Similarly, how do you make an inline function call?

One-pass compilation also relies heavily on searching and referring back to data from earlier in the pass, making it rather cache-unfriendly unless you build data structures as you compile, but now you're using massive amount of memory since you have to build these structures for everything in the entire input. This scales incredibly poorly. If you use one thing from some imported header, you now need to add that header and its entire dependency tree into your one pass. This isn't the 70's anymore; more passes ≠ more slower.

It's actually the compiler and IDE people pushing against this one-pass mindset, because it's "simpler" but just worse for everyone… except maybe the developer reading a header file instead of documentation. And do note that complexity comes in forms other than fancy data structures & algorithms in compilers/tooling. I'd argue that a manual flattening of a real world dependency graph is much more complex and harder to grok & maintain. Regardless, it's the compiler/tool developer's job to take the burden of complexity to better serve their users.

This is an interesting intersection of services that aren’t necessarily a business. A lot of modern privacy laws are built around the idea that you’re making money from people, and stand to lose that income. I’m not sure that GDPR offers anything different.

“Is there any way for a platform like Medium to keep up with high quality posts while also paying their writers well?”

To me, this is the essential question. I’ve been writing on medium since May of 2019 and for a while there was a real sense of community and camaraderie. I met some of my closest writing friends and mentors there. But there was a growing sense of gaming the system in the writing communities that made me increasingly uncomfortable. Share threads where writers were supposed to read (and clap for and comment on ) everyone else’s pieces if they expected to be able to share theirs. But what it ended up amounting to was mostly a circle jerk of writers reading other writers’ stuff, quality be damned.

The curation engine was good for awhile and drove worthwhile engagement and earnings, but then it fell apart, too. I make less than $10/month from my two accounts now, enough to offset the cost of my 2 memberships.

Back to the original question, I don’t know how a media company could pay editors to spend the eyes-on time it takes to judge quality and also pay writers a reasonable amount without becoming a traditional media company that hires freelance writers to hodgepodge it up. All those standalone stories with no organization makes my head spin. And consumers (who are able) are increasingly unwilling to pay for a subscription to such a company, especially to a media business with a lack of focus that has not proven its value.

I always thought Medium was written for readers and exploited the hell out if its writers, but then their business model started being about neither readers nor writers.

I truly do believe Substack’s model is superior in that readers pay to support authors or creators they find worthwhile rather than paying the platform ant large and trying to wade through the morass of indefensibly low quality work (or, more likely, forgetting you subscribed in the first place until the renewal email comes). It’s a different kind of platform, but more versatile and feels more homey.

You know, I wonder if GMO technology has advanced enough to replace hybridization.

Hybrids give you two different chromosomes, uniformly in your population. You take population AA and aa and get Aa. The next generation you're back to a mix of AA/Aa/aa.

There's no reason -- in the abstract -- you couldn't duplicate your gene and put two copies of it on the same chromosome, one A and one a, so that you can skip the hybridization. But does that work with current technology? I don't know!
If you are talking in real terms(i.e. after inflation adjustments), you still end up paying banks to hold your money.
Yes, that's precisely my sentiment as well.

As far as fixing it, the obvious first step is to at least be more generous with the article count... and don't show it at all until someone has seen at least 5 articles on separate days that month. Count a session clicking through a few articles on the same day as at most 2 article views (maybe have a separate limit of something like 5 articles in the same day). Don't be a nag trying to upsell when people haven't even had a chance to get interested yet.

That at least would cut down on the sleazy feeling of the whole site. An easy next step would be hiring someone as an editorial curator. Most of their job to start would be to build a regex list of article title structures which are overly cliched, so that those articles get de-merited by the recommender algorithm

Another way to feed a meaningful recommender: Allow users to tag posts (and other more clever things like deriving tags by looking at, e.g., which sub-reddits link to them). Build user profiles that are similar to how StumbleUpon had a "Stumble DNA" for users.

That's what I would be doing, anyway.
This is incorrect. People are born with an innate biological bias towards C like syntax OVER ML syntax or even FP syntax.

It's easy to prove this fact with some natural example outside of programming.

Let's say I have several tasks I need you to do. If I wanted to present those tasks to you in written form, what would those tasks look like?

They would look like a series of procedures. Any human would present imperative instructions to you WITHOUT being taught anything beforehand. Nobody is going to put those tasks into a single run on sentence because that's less intuitive to us.

Additionally if I want you to repeat a task I'm not going to write something self referential. I just say repeat this task four times or something. We communicate this way through language and through writing, so OF COURSE c like syntax is more natural.

(for those who didn't pick up on it, I'm referring to function composition and recursion respectively in the examples I just gave.)

You got it backwards. The industry teaches C-like syntax because that syntax is naturally more intuitive. This is despite the fact that in the long run FP-syntax is overall better.
