To be fair, I don't think it's such a huge sacrifice from the maintainers to put a check for leftover artifacts at the start of the installation script and nuke those from orbit before proceeding.

It can be put behind a confirmation Y/N terminal line as well.

But yeah, usually bash install scripts are almost never idempotent. I feel the maintainers of those scripts just give up and IMO they really shouldn't.
While Twitter itself is not a sinking ship, the current equity holders are. The debt cost will be ~1.5B this year. The current equity holders will be diluted thru a new funding or thru a bankruptcy liquidation, though I feel it's unlikely Elon let's it go that far.
Thanks for your interest, it really confirms the interest I've received from the community in general.

1. I'm leading some Platform Engineering projects at my company and one is focused on Developer Experience. We have a wide variety of configurations on the engineer's laptops and the development environments are not normalized. That causes a lot of noise and pain, as one knows. Nix is, or seems to be, an opportunity to take back control on how engineers run the applications locally.

2. I'd say it has many factors. The official documentation and guides are not yet suitable for a zero-knowledge newcomer. As an example, since channels are still recommended in the docs, the command to add the default channel is not in the "Install" page. Things go from `curl <(...) | bash` to `nix-shell`, and it fails (on a M2 Mac) unless I navigate somewhere else on the docs to find that I should add the default channel first.

Second point is about the terminology. Derivation, Flakes... are quite arcane terms. At least to the layman (me).

Third, community blogs etc are covering outdated versions, some rely on flakes, others not, it's understandle but also understandably disorienting, especially when you're after some guidance that the official docs could not provide.

Fourth, the API. `nix-shell` is not a shortcut for `nix shell`. Wait what?

---

When I'm saying I'll come back in 2 years, I mean that it is clear that the situation is changing rapidly and dust needs to settle. Maybe the direction is not clear yet, and that would be fine. My one and only advice would be to only ship a feature that is properly documented.

Reading something like "We recommend to use flakes, they're the future, but the APIs are in flux, but if you're wary and want stability, here are our stable APIs" would have saved me a ton of time.
Companies don’t care how “organic” a particular moment of public outage is. To make marketing decisions, they gauge the impact on their current and future business. If activists get public traction that will affect sales, the company will do something about it.

> NetworkManager supports even WPA3

I used it as a hotspot. Armbian has some weird obsolete NetworkManager, that does not work with WPA2. OpenWRD does not support other functions I need.

And I did not use buildin networking managment, because it keept switching network interface names (multiple WIFI and LAN cards over USB). I can bind NetworkManager config to MAC and skip interface names completely.

Depends on the query I guess. My first results were:

- elixir-lang.org (the official Elixir website),

- elixirschool.com (high-quality Elixir content),

- til.hashrocket.com (also high-quality Elixir content IMO),

- hexdocs.pm (the official documentation of elixir modules/packages),

- graffino.com (relevant TIL page about the date sigil),

- a GitHub issue page about a very close sigil in Elixir.

My point was: do you think Google switches to some "high-quality" mode when it detects that you are a technical user?

Sorry, by "same server" what I actually meant was the same domain. As far as I can tell there's no support for migrating Activity Pub content between software on the same domain.

Mastodon can move accounts only, and requires different domains. Mastodon's import/export can help with content assuming you're moving to another Mastodon instance, but won't do anything to update the URIs of content objects in other instances databases. Webfinger redirects can be used to move accounts across domains too.

However as far as I can tell there's no way to move arbitrary Activity Pub objects across domains.
I think is a bit nuanced than that and there is a clear reason why a manager might go for a contractor instead of in house.

A good manager will have a clear understanding of his slice of the company, what work needs done, what are the hoops, what problems can arise, how the work needs done. Same manager most likely has no understanding what it means to build, deploy and maintain a hardware + software thing. And since we are talking about a good manager, they are aware of that. Hence they call for a contractor that will build, deploy and maintain said thing.

And lets face it, will these tinkering workers actually able to deliver a robust system? You already mentioned the lack of integration or architecture concepts. The red tape might be there to prevent data corruption. What user interface are they going to use? Fragile touchscreen or a big button to mark the end of the step (eg, after the worker finished mounting the mud guards). Will that button/touch screen survive the number of mud guards that need to be mounted every year? Or that prosaic issue: where do you store the spares? etc etc There is a reason why this kind of innovation, like automatic testing, deploying etc, happen in software companies, building, deploying and maintaining software is the core competency.

I don't doubt there are happy cases where the tinkerer is more than a tinkerer, the video we are commenting on proves that.

On the other hand, this sort of thing should be encouraged. Have the workers come up with POCs, then pass that to the expert contractor to help with the extra bits. When the startup I work for decided to pivot, I suggested to build a framework to help with automation: have a server that boots remote thin clients and have a basic client that you can plop all kinds of peripherals in. I had to use cases in mind: automation for small factories and bar/restaurant management. We decided to count trees instead.

There's absolutely something wrong. They're not banning people for not adhering to posting rules in a sub, they're literally banning wrongthink, they're often banning political opinions they dislike or don't align with US democrat party hegemony.

They suppress subs or influence mods to suppress them for them.

There's a myriad of ways in which censorship to shape a narrative happens, and that narrative is as true as the narrative a few twitter users can set, if highlighted as "the majority opinion/the people have spoken" by mainstream media.

There's intervention via subterfuge, not an open contract you either adhere or not.
The "Twitter Files" are total nothingburgers though. There weren't any biting revelations, just hype and poor framing.
There is nothing wrong with taking a few seconds to answer something. As Sivers notes, sometimes not every question needs an answer, sometimes you need time and courage to just admit you don't know something concretely. If the other person is

- so impatient that they cannot wait some seconds for your answer

- not having a minimum attention span

- interrupting out of awkwardness or entitlement

you should rethink why you are allowing this.

I understand there are some situations and certain jobs that really require quick thinking (more like automatically recalling from their memory) under pressure and people are trained to behave in that manner, such as military and emergency services. Not every situation is like this and you cannot be possibly be prepared for every situation.

I remember something that my uncle (a doctor) said to me while telling me stories from his education and medical practice. "When you are unsure of something you should always ask/consult someone. It is wiser to admit you do not know something rather than give a wrong [and potentially lethal] answer."

The advertisers care about "brand safety", which Musk completely undermined with his verification changes and the following wave of meme accounts impersonating companies.

The changes were quickly rolled back to put safeguards and new check marks in place, but by that point a lot of advertisers had already decided to freeze their spending or even stop their campaigns.

The wave of un-bans also didn't help. A screenshot was circulating of an Erasmus (student exchange program) ad appearing right under the tweet of a freshly un-banned Nazi, raving against some minority group.

I doubt the woke activism made a big difference.
Thanks for the elaborate advice!
That's kind of like the trope of a loan shark "busting people's legs". It doesn't do any good, because then they can't work to make the money they need to pay off the loan shark.
Food fight: FDA is redefining ‘healthy’ and food industry is pushing back
Couldn't say, they don't let me near the schools any more, not since I argued that sometimes breaking into the school with thermite could be justified.

More seriously, as much of a bastion of progressivism as these hallowed halls are, I'm 100% certain we are behind the curve of most blue state schools when it comes to how up to date we are on the appropriate ritual goat sacrifices.
Generally good tips, but I have noticed a few other things too.

1. If there are challenges, particularly if they are take home tests, it is important to make these reflect the sort of work someone will do without raising concerns that the work will be used by the company without pay. Candidates will spend time on relevant challenges and be happy. They will not be happy about irrelevant challenges. And interviews go both ways.

2. Dispense with "good questions" and go instead with "what do I want to know about a candidate.

3. Ask yourself before you start hiring, "What makes those who are successful at this company successful?" And from there, start building your interview structure.

Not every company will be the same, or will be good matches for the same candidates. The key should be to figure out what you need and use the interview to determine if the candidate actually is a good fit.

Unfortunately this cannot have data because it relies on a bunch of human judgment calls.

Maybe this is giving reddit too much credit, but I do see people say "append reddit to searches" literally every time the topic of search is brought up, so what if reddit is aware people do that but doesn't want to be a search engine?

Imagine you're one of the few remaining sources of human content on the Internet, and you look at the terrible cat and mouse game google plays forever with spam, you don't really envy it. So imagine telling the world hey, reddit is the new google, everyone come do your searches (and spam) here, gl mods.

The only time I've seen democratize used correctly in the tech sense
I guess "curate" could be interpreted either way. It would seem possible you are both arguing for preserving history but interpreting the word differently...
Fwiw, I've asked candidates seemingly meaningless questions that don't directly relate to the day-to-day activities of the job.

The questions - and how a candidate responds - can be helpful to both sides (as observed) wrt figuring out how individuals might fit into the prospective organisations.

For instance, from the employer's pov, if the organisation is already filled with academic Computer Scientists, and the interviewee comes across as dismissive of the importance of design patterns, it's a red flag about fitting in. However, if they go over the top the other way, then that might be a red flag about how practical they might be. If they don't know where to start with the question or are perhaps tongue-tied, then that's also information.

While from the interviewee's pov, if they prefer a more practical environment, then those questions may be, as observed, a red flag about a role that wouldn't be a good fit for the candidate.

A good interview process maximises the flow of information in both directions in a short space of time and increases the chances of a good fit. It's a process to which these type of questions can be helpful when properly applied.

Everytime I log in to the twitter app, the notification icon lights up, then turns off, and sometimes it lights up again with some delay. Some other times it stays lit up and doesn't turn off, even though I have no new notifications. It's gotten to the point where I no longer check the notifications because the indicator is wrong almost all the time.
> None of the prognostications about Twitter’s total and utter technical collapse after such a dramatic headcount reduction came true [0].

There are a lot of annoying bugs that cropped up over the last months, and most of these involve features rarely used.

My pet peeve is search: You have to do a search using the from-keyword like ten times or more until it actually shows results. When you scroll down for older results, you have to scroll to top and then to the bottom again because it doesn't have an "Older" button, just infinite scroll. There is no way to make the search remember you prefer recent results instead of "top" with a completely intransparent ranking.

On top of that comes general instability - the app and website keeps randomly forgetting you're in the "I follow" timeline, the "for me" algorithmic timeline has sometimes hours worth of lag and is filled with crap - no I don't want to see porn someone else liked, or endless pages of replies against some random Nazi or TERF. DM groups take ages to load or stay in a weird half rendered state in the app.

Why can’t we get past this?

Some people, probably that didn’t know what they were talking about, expected that everything would fall over right away. I think most of us knew that this wouldn’t happen.

This doesn’t mean that there wasn’t merit in the view that reducing Twitter’s headcount so drastically and suddenly would result in platform instability.

My understanding is that Twitter has been unstable. I’m not using Twitter anymore, but I’ve heard it from a bunch of people, including people who aren’t politically motivated to make that claim.

Elon Musk is "real life's Tony Stark".

... He keeps getting his mansion and armor destroyed.
I've an established theory that most people will try to pull you into a small sub-set of a field or area that they're an expert in, and then beat you silly with their knowledge.

This is particularly brutal if they're ego-centric and doing it to depress upon you "how smart they are".

I've seen this with quite a few "smart" people.

There are two aspects to this:

1) talking "smart" - use of phrases, language, and ideas that aren't obvious, or using terms that are part of "smart"

2) small areas of their own knowledge that you are unlikely to know.

Examples:

friend would pull me into quantum string theory (M-brains, whatever) where they'd memorized certain details of it--they weren't particularly smart on quantum string theory, but I had zero knowledge. They'd keep turning the topic into these areas despite group's conversations not going that way naturally.

another casual friend pulled me into the "A Tribe Called Red is so good" when I started gushing about my appreciation of multi-syllabically rapping styles of lyrical rappers that I liked. They were essentially regurgitating a critic's article on the topic.

Some internal Microsofters a few decades ago would describe that there was internal smart-speak for "smart" identifying people. The same is true in most contexts.
The feeling I get when I hear of these things is a kind of longing to see and feel their life for a while. Not that I want to live their lifestyle, because it would be hard; but there's just something about the paleolithic time that feels like an almost eternal substratum to the human existence that was then lost. The way people lived for a couple hundred thousand years, a tradition broken only in the last few millennia.

Take stone tool making -- an art that goes back beyond our species, to the homo genus itself, as a universal hominid skill. Now mostly lost to us. That's kind of sad.

While we're on the topic. I had a system I'm designing write an essay to support my arguments.

The rise of 'woke' culture has been a topic of discussion in recent years. While the intentions behind it are positive, there are negative impacts that come with it. The excess of positive intentions can result in the decline of society. This essay will discuss the detrimental effects of 'woke' culture and how too much good can lead to the downfall of society.

One of the negative impacts of 'woke' culture is the promotion of victimhood. While acknowledging and addressing systemic issues is important, constantly focusing on victimhood can lead to a sense of helplessness and a lack of personal responsibility. This can result in a decline in society as individuals become less motivated to take action and improve their own lives.

Another negative impact of 'woke' culture is the promotion of cancel culture. Cancel culture is the practice of boycotting or shaming individuals or organizations for perceived wrongdoings. While holding individuals accountable for their actions is important, cancel culture can lead to a lack of forgiveness and understanding. This can result in a decline in society as individuals become less willing to engage in open and honest dialogue, leading to a lack of progress and growth.

'Woke' culture also promotes a lack of individuality. It encourages individuals to conform to a specific set of beliefs and values. While having a shared set of values can be beneficial, promoting a lack of individuality can lead to a lack of diversity of thought and a lack of creativity. This can result in a decline in society as individuals become less willing to challenge the status quo and explore new ideas.

Another negative impact of 'woke' culture is the promotion of a lack of personal responsibility. It often places the blame for societal issues on systemic oppression and discrimination. While acknowledging systemic issues is important, promoting a lack of personal responsibility can lead to a sense of entitlement and a lack of motivation to improve one's own life. This can result in a decline in society as individuals become less willing to take action and improve their own circumstances.

Finally, 'woke' culture promotes a lack of tolerance. It often promotes a specific set of beliefs and values, leading to a lack of tolerance for those who hold different beliefs. This can result in a decline in society as individuals become less willing to engage in open and honest dialogue, leading to a lack of understanding and empathy.

In conclusion, while promoting awareness and addressing systemic issues is important, an excess of positive intentions can result in the decline of society. 'Woke' culture can lead to a culture of victimhood, cancel culture, a lack of individuality, a lack of personal responsibility, and a lack of tolerance. It is important to find a balance between acknowledging societal issues and promoting personal responsibility, individuality, and tolerance.
