LBOs frequently fail when done by professionals. On top of that, Twitter is now a really huge, dubiously financed, chaotically operated LBO by a first-timer who has to run it hands-on because nobody would take the job, and the blame.

At the price of a crippled Twitter, we now know who Elon really is.
I think the answer is as simple as a megalomaniacal desire for a return to the glory of Russia. Russia has never been stably non expansionist and it is Europe’s last colonial empire. While Gorbachev was OK with the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact he did not envision freedom for Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine and other former Soviet republics.

Are we really this easily duped?

The entire EXPLICITLY STATED point of these /pol/ campaigns is to manipulate the media into acting as an engine of radicalization.

“It’s okay to be white” would have died on the vine right next to “Islam is right about women” if the media didn’t go into an amplification feeding frenzy.

Edit: and sure, the cat’s out of the bag and actual racists are probably using the phrase now. But clearly no lesson has been learned - ditching Scott Adams for supposedly making reprehensible racist remarks is going to absolutely set more than a few people down the path of radicalization when they look up what he said and see “it’s okay to be white”. I can only imagine the glee over on 4chan right now.
Linux Now Officially Supports Apple Silicon
Intent is one thing, whenever userland GUI developers actually uses the API the intended way is another. It's not a bug, it's just a undocumented feature.

If everyone uses the API the "wrong way", now you're stuck supporting the "wrong way" or everything breaks and people WILL complain.

>Needs a timeframe and context. Back in the, say, 1990s or maybe even early 2000s, when the modern world was just forming and the only languages students would work in were C and C++, maybe with some Bash and Perl on the side, 25k lines is a reasonable estimate for a brand new symbolic engine- a thing that in imperative languages didn't exist- with some element of typical PhD edge case over-engineering.

The modern world was very much formed by the 90s. Mathematica, Axiom, Maple, etc were all mature software written a decade or more ago. What people were doing wasn't writing a CAS from scratch but writing one that could slot into whatever program they needed at the time, e.g. chaotic simulation of the solar system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structure_and_Interpretation_o...

As the fed learned in the 1980s, only pain can break the expectations of inflation once entrenched. Severe, multi-year, economic pain.

Unfortunately, the current fed with its focus on a "soft landing" and "consensus" seems like it has forgotten that lesson.

And unfortunately, once the fed DOES remember this lesson, it's likely that all the highly paid software people on this board (myself included) are going to take the economic impact straight to the face.

I run i3, so practically everything I do is driven by keyboard shortcuts.
On Windows I use AutoHotKey to achieve a similar level of support when I have to use it.

To avoid collisions I'll often bind a single key to something like "Control + Shift + Alt + Meta + F14". No application I'm aware of goes hirer than F12 and most keyboard combos require a max of 3 keys. By binding such a ridiculous number of keys to one key I don't have to contort my hand too much and I can still always find the mute key.

Often the key will trigger a script, and the script will use information such as the active window to understand the exact output. (If Zoom mute is Space, if Teams it is Ctrl+Shift+M because of course it is, if Chime forget about Mute just play a recording of me telling our account rep at AWS this is why I won't work there).

Questions:
(1) Will we have to pay for Spotify service, and also pay for NFT? Depending on where the NFT is hosted, this could get quite costly for customers and be prone to degradations (e.g., blockchain hacking +/or collapse).

(2) Does each playlist come with a human-authentication sticker? I understand there is an authenticity assurance with NFT-backed songs/albums/playlists, so the move by Spotify makes sense. I hope record labels and artists alike leverage this for themselves as we move into AI-generated <everything>. I want the option to know I am listening to music created by humans, not deep-fake hijacks.

(3) In cases where AI-generated songs are "recorded" and released, will AI be granted writer/producer credits? If no, there's the everlasting issue of "it will remember." Unlike humans, AI may be better positioned to reclaim its value (monetary and otherwise).

WhatsApp has a documented history of all kinds of shadyness from uploading unencrypted (yes, unencrypted) backups to Google under an agreement that let Google rummage through them(!) to their "send the data in a sidechannel directly to Facebook for analysis while also sending it end-to-end-encrypted to the recipient".

I really can't understand why you bright folks here on HN falls for WhatsApps marketing.

E2E means absolutely nothing as long as the messages are siphoned away in broad daylight.

That said: avoid Telegram all you want. But if you mean no one should ever touch it, I hope you are also against physical mail which is way less secure and also email which is way less secure than Telegram.
Someone in the old days was playing around with VERY small RSS feeds in DNS TXT records. The slides mention blogging but at a UI level whereas this was "what if we put actual RSS feeds in DNS?" There was some sort of multiline protocol; don't remember how it worked. It never gained traction but I thought it was cool.

There was also something very weird with VRML files in the early 90s, like favicon but in 3d and shipped over DNS kind of idea. Yeah that got about zero traction also.
I learned about stack based programming when I bought a HP28s calculator in 1988. It could be programmed in its Forth like language, had data structures like lists, arrays, matrices, and symbols. It was also my intro to Scheme. It was like revelation. When everyone else around me was learning C or Pascal, where arrays had fixed lengths, I had seen the future with dynamic data structures. I could implement and test ideas that would take me ten or a hundred times more LOC.

Now over 30 years later I still use a stack to implement tree traversal instead of using recursion.

> Until those ecosystem issues are fixed

Again, that is my point. No company has any incentive, or has made any moves to, fix the ecosystem. They're happy how there are no standards or documented APIs, how everything is a closed binary blob that changes from one insignificant version to the next. They don't demand any kind of support or openness from hardware suppliers, they don't form any standards or demand adherence to them, despite their massive market power (if Samsung wanted open or standards-compliant hardware, they'd get it), because they directly financially benefit from the broken status quo they created.

I've seen those - they look like fun projects, but they aren't really a viable solution to 3d printing plastic since not everyone wants to build and learn how to use and maintain one of those, especially since as you say most people won't create enough scrap in the lifetime of their printer to make enough reels to offset the cost+time. What there needs to be is somewhere local that I can take my filament scrap to. But then there's the trust issue: they can't know for sure that my box of scrap contains ONLY PLA, and the consequence of me slipping up and giving them some PETG are pretty high. If PLA recycling were commercially viable to do, I expect it would have been done by now...

Which means PLA is not actually a functionally recyclable or compostable material. Technically, yes. Functionally, no. Which means anything I do on my 3d printer is destined for the landfill, the ocean, the groundwater. Which is why I'm going to avoid 3d printing in the future except when it's absolutely the right tool for the job.

> As a manager, I actually find people doing "big picture" thinking quite annoying to deal with

People aren't cogs in a machine. Your attitude is dehumanizing. I'm in a position where I also want people to concentrate on their tasks, but way more often than not I have something pointed out by a direct report that I missed -- and because I stow my ego at the door, I accept and appreciate that help, and make sure they're commended for it by the larger organization. They wouldn't be able to do that if they didn't see the big picture.

"Sometimes, you treat people like mushrooms. You keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em shit."

No. I have nothing against choice, I just want the best phone, and it's not this. If only there were a thriving set of standards for mobile/desktop web apps that obviates the need to stick to the iPhone/Android OS duopoly cemented by their app stores, I'd probably change phones.

> the jvm already exists and you can run [some] ancient compiled class files with it [but many won't work correctly].

FTFY.
This is disingenuous.

If price was the reason, we'd have phones with longer term support at a higher price point. The problem is that support is cheaper than making new stuff, but the companies would rather sell a more expensive good if they can prevent customers from buying the cheaper option.

Support is cheaper for customers because companies providing support have to invest into something customers want, but doesn't create the same competitive advantage in the market where stakes are always rising. I.e. companies are incentivized to replace rather than support because they need to amortize the cost of R&D that goes into making phones with more memory / storage / cameras / hoo-hoo-ga-ga. If instead the effort is diverted into support, that effort doesn't generate future revenues as much as the effort spent on, well, future technologies.

So, the customers don't get good service not because it's impossible or prohibitively expensive, but because of the lack of a free platform (equivalent to Linux on PC), and a lack of regulation that would make it necessary for manufacturers to provide longer term support to their products (which would've leveled the field, because everyone would have to provide similar length of service, and so the competitive edge would stay the same).

As long as the manufacturers are in the rats race for the fraction of the future market, they'll cut every corner possible to get a bigger slice. The cost and the price today aren't as much of a concern for them as the survival in the next few years.
The other good, free simulator I've used is https://phydemo.app/ray-optics/ although I've struggled to get it to do anything real because it doesn't seem to allow you to set the focal length of lenses except by editing their sizes/shapes.

0.3% is +/- 80 years. So it’s not 24650BC, it’s 24570-24730BC. And the farther distance you go, the greater the uncertainty.

And when measurements improve or are revised, everything would need to be recalculated. So, for posterity, it would be 24570-24730BC (2023 measurements).

Or, 2023 is simpler.
Whatever. Despite its occasional mistakes, I have found it to be incredibly useful.
>Whichever this is, it shows that it's not really a problem of Android

It kind of is though because Android allows for phone brands to tweak the stock OS and stop updating even if the OS itself is getting updates.

If Android forced all manufacturers to use the stock OS with updates, the phone could still get updates, no?
> no company is going to drag candidates through interviews for jobs that don’t exist

How are folks actually writing the content, are they just writing markdown by hand? I understand decoupling management of content from presentation, but the lack of options for editing was always confusing to me. Glad that now we'll have at least two good fully open source options.

This is exactly it. The goal with rising rates is to cool the economy (soft landing vs a crash). That almost always means a rise in unemployment - the late 70s and early 80s economic crisis played out exactly like this.

Despite tech layoffs unemployment still remains relatively low. The hikes are not having the intended effects.
