This is quite nuanced.

Damned if you do: people will question your political stance.

Damned if you don't: you'll lose a lot of users who uses twitter for various reasons other than politics and warfare. People that just want to relax and unwind, be entertained, and plug into the matrix.

Seriously though I think a better UI for muting topics would be a better user interface than hardcoding these things. In twitter you can mute topics but you gotta dig through the settings first.

you will be utterly downvoted for saying that for sure, but yeah, there is an extreme disconnect in what city people tend to vote, versus what they think will happen from it. Bills nearly always have obscenely misleading(the most favorable word in existence) naming, which is what the media plays in soundbites. The masses, mostly, but not only, left leaning people eat it up in as massive quantities as media can produce.

The phenomenon they're referring to is when something spurious is posted on Wikipedia with no or poor citations, then used as the source for a "reputable" article (without citations), then the article is cited by Wikipedia, making the spurious information look more trustworthy.

people in california flee to Texas (amongst others) because the state, especially the cities have become so hostile. Takes more than a decade to get a building permit some places, cost of living is crazy high, crime increasing, taxes raising. Then they move to afford the lifestyle they want, and continue voting for the exact same policies that caused these issues to begin with
In a word: desperation.

There are so many people who want to work in games that there's a sometimes toxic codependency between management and new employees. People will put up with a lot of shit to work at these places.

That makes it difficult for those of us who mostly work outside of games to draw conclusions and parallels to our own corners of the industry. People just don't feel that way about a lot of other things.

To be fair - the author didn't "start[s] out" with that statement. They started out with seven(ish) paragraphs explaining exactly why the FSF has become irrelevant and how the foundation cannot reach its goals.

The author contends that Stallman (and through his leadership, the FSF) ends up repelling the very kind of interconnected community that could sustain the free software movement. Thus, their first suggestion (replace Stallman, and include different kinds of people in future leadership) is directly related to that specific issue.

It's actually a rather nicely written piece, and they support their suggestions in the narrative pretty well. Perhaps you skipped ahead (or perhaps you just disagree, which is certainly your right), but they absolutely didn't "start out" with "orthogonal social issues". They made the case for why those issues matter and then connected them to their suggestions.
That still allows for perhaps 3000-4000 simultaneous writes, depending on how many file handles are in use by other processes.
Yes, what people call tinnitus is really just being able to hear your individual interlink frequency in the collective consciousness.
Are you forgetting the part where Alexander and successors deliberately tried to incorporate Persian and Indian culture into their own? Yeah the conquerors were Greek and Macedonian, my point is they weren’t chauvinistic about their culture like we might expect, Alexander in particular loved some of the cultures his conquests brought him into contact with.
Calling EIP an academic project is, I think, grossly misleading. If only because it makes it sound like a bunch of college kids running regression analyses on Twitter trends.
A similar travesty of justice happened in Italy in the late 90s with a bunch of parents going to jail, their kids being taken away by the local child protection services, parents committing suicide from the trauma etc.

Two decades later, as part of an investigation, the kids (now adults) came out as saying that they were brainwashed, they were pressured into confessions of satanic rituals in the local cemetery, of blood sacrifices and live burials and so on.

The investigation concluded that it was ultimately a combination of a popular moral panic, a special spot-the-satanist training that the teachers received as part of their professional development, and a collusion between psychologists and orphanages trying to fill out their facilities with kids harvested from accused parents. An absolute horror show.

> It particularly interested me that Twitter under Musk is trying NOT to discuss Ukraine

What makes you say this? I’m aware tweets about Ukraine are down ranked. This seems analogous to subreddits (such as world news, geopolitics, etc) stickying a live thread for the war. This is to prevent it from taking over the subreddit and it happens to slow down discussion.

Seems like the Ukraine war topic is similarly tuned on Twitter. Ukraine can still trend it just takes more activity than other topics.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone on HN argue against usability in favor of aesthetics the form vs function design debate.

There is so much to say on the topic, books have been written arguing at length even. I would never argue for worse UX if I had a choice, there should be a baseline “good” visual design, but poor UX can and will sink your product in most metrics that matter in the business world.
This seems like a big leap forward for web apps! Proper view transitions are one of the biggest gaps in usability and perceived smoothness between web and native/Flutter apps at the moment.

The key is not about how many people are guiding the ship, it is about their overall abilities.

A BDFL is great if the dictator is competent. A committee is also great if the committee is competent (overall).

Most people don't have what it takes to be a BDFL. But a few do. And for those people, the answer is to take good notes and get the hell out of their way.
It was always riddled with bugs, I'm not sure why people are blaming that on Musk as that is surely the least applicable of any of the criticisms that get thrown his way. Are people's memories that short that they thought it was a bug free experience up till a few months ago?
Yeah but have you seen the leaked slides? It's clear that they have only the ability to analyse 10% or less of the data they are storing.

GPT-like systems will close that gap, and then comes all of the problems of automated law enforcement - Extrapolation from incomplete data, false positives from coindicences, interpretation errors, all that annoying stuff
Dear young friend,

A couple things:

>At this point in your career, no one is paying you to explain anything to them, u less they ask. Your unsolicited opinion is only doing you harm.

>Your are the most inexperienced and, likely, the lowest paid. You will get the grunt work.

>The fact that you are overqualified is of no consequence to them.

>Not all jobs are like this one. But, many are. Just do the best job you can do, until you find another one.

>Don't burn any bridges. The best outcome is making everyone love you and think you are a huge asset. Trying to reason them out of their plan will make you an ass^at, not an asset.

Good luck.

Yes! Somewhere along the lines people started seeing blogs as the default form of web presence. And blogs are ok, but they're usually poorly linked together websites.

> Garam masala is a blend of spices that are lightly roasted. The "garam"/hot refers to this roasting.

That is incorrect. Garam does indeed mean hot, but individual spices in garama masala don't need to be roasted, in fact I believe most, if not all, of them are not roasted, rather simply ground together.

The garam refers to the taseer (in Ayurvedic terms) of the spice blend, as in is it cooling (such as fennel is cooling), or is it warm (such as black pepper is warm/hot) to the body.

Almost all, if not all, of the ingredients of garam masala are warming to the body.
All of that depends on your goals and priorities. And keep in mind, not everyone fights a battle for defensive reasons. Peace isn't always the desired outcome of war.

He also implies that diplomacy and posturing is actually part of battle which isn't the case but I am sure diplomats and politicians consider themselves warriors.

Often wars are started to avenge a wrong, significant losses in your side were accepted when you declared war. If you win a battle without accomplishing your objectives then what was the point?

But I think I do agree with you on his intent and that is sort if my point, his wisdom is neither absolute nor infallible. I would consider it a guidance to help you decide not hard set commandments to follow.
When people talk about patterns that repeat, they usually mean one of the 17 wallpaper groups (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_group). And people are interested in patterns that do tile the grid completely, but don't match one of those patterns. Originally it took thousands, but people had gotten it down to 2 shapes that together tiled the grid completely, but not in one of those 17 groups.

Now, people have gotten it down to a single shape that—by itself—tiles the pattern infinitely, but not in one of those 17 groups.
I'd be surprised if the pinwheel tilings — which have tiles that take on an infinite number of relative angles — could be reproduced in this manner. It seems like projecting a periodic set in high dimensions should give at most a finite number of cell orientations, although I can't prove it offhand.
In B2B it's usually ease and speed of operation that's more important

SAP (everything), Workday (HR), Service Now (help desk), Archer (compliance), SailPoint (compliance), and other applications that have been inflicted on my miserable existence over the last 25 years of corporate IT; all B2B enterprise applications that I guarantee did not consider either speed or ease of use to be remotely important.

Interesting. I'm curious what you don't like about the interface in retrospect. I remember being a young shareware dev, seeing that UI and thinking "this is so much better than the bespoke updaters people keep writing". Sparkle ended up being one of the few third party frameworks that I didn't end up stubbornly rolling my own version of, because it just did exactly what I wanted.
I think you'd need up to 2 frames. Up to 1 frame lets you line up to the vblank more or less, and the 2nd frame lets you pick which eye. Might be able to do it with an adjustment for the delay and a switch to toggle the eyes.

Edit: if you happen to have a 3d tv still, it might be possible to tell it you've got frame sequential 3d content and then use its glasses. Possibly.
I asked a question.

I mean, if we get to the point AI is pointing the finger at someone i hope that a human will double check it at least.
I don't really regret quitting - I was getting pretty depressed at my previous job, and not working at all was a vast improvement. I perhaps could've persuaded myself to jump back in 3-6 months earlier, before the job market fell off a cliff.
That's the right argument for the wrong customer. The end user is supposed to trust the government to act as one - that's the point. But a government is always in a state of partial synchronization with respect to record-keeping. That's why there are delays and loopholes in the system. And the naive answer of "just trust the one database bro" immediately creates gridlock: for the number of services that government provides, all pragmatic answers instantly turn into Byzantine General negotiations: who hosts the servers, who gets access, what kind of access do they get, whomever has the most stringent uptime and disclosure requirements will push the others into adopting the same, and so on...

On the other hand, if you say "it's append-only and distributed at the top level and every agency can put what they want on top of that, add new nodes at will, etc.", you have a blockchain. It redefines the desynchronization problem in a way that narrows the scope of the technical/political crossover. Negotiations still take place, unnecessary duplication and desynchronization still happens, but basic issues around where the global source of truth "is" are no longer a factor.

I don't think the effort described is even a perfect match for the tech, but it's the kind of "wrong in the right direction" needed to move forward in studying the issue.
Excellent point.

Check out Project Farm on YouTube to get a sense of what the average farmer is like in terms of engineering mindset.

They would love this.

Farmers are smart. When your combine breaks during harvest, you can't just grab another or wait a couple of days for the repair guy to show up -- you need it fixed now. That's not easy.

Not to mention, understanding your soil, your crops, the weather, how they interact, how to handle everything from planting up to post-harvest processing... it's not an easy job.

And this starts at a young age, because all the kids help out on the farm, too. You know why licenses for vehicles aren't required on private property? Farms. Early-teenagers need to be able to drive around a truck, then a tractor, etc.

> ... ethicist Jerry Menikoff [...] had decided maybe it was unethical to do RCTs on ventilator settings at all. He asked whether they might be able to give every patient the right setting while still doing the study. The study team tried to explain to him that they didn’t know which was the right setting, that was why they had to do the study. He wouldn’t budge.

> Finally, after a year, another panel of experts ruled in favor of the investigators and gave them permission to restart the study right away. They did, but the delay was responsible for thousands of deaths, and produced a chain effect on ventilator research that made us less prepared for the surge in ventilator demand around COVID.

People who do not understand or accept the role of risk-taking in the expansion of scientific knowledge and the betterment of the human condition should not be in positions of authority over the scientific process.

I’d be interested to test if this shift is just perceptual or if it could be measured

I think this is definitely optimal if your jobs take a long time (and if you add in worker autoscaling of some type, you can deal with quick jobs reasonably well too). But if you have a very large number of quick jobs, setting a high prefetch limit can increase throughput by a tremendous amount. It's in this context that multiple queues makes a lot of sense; you can optimize some workers to read from one queue and others to read from another.
That is the simple, but unreliable way to fix the issue. If your python process crashes or is killed between sending the commit and enqueueing the job, the job will never be enqueued.

A possible solution to this is to use a "transactional outbox" pattern, but that has many of the same drawbacks of using postgres as a queue.
