You're conflating something being bad by definition, in an inexcusable fashion, with simply not liking it. There's nothing inherently bad about the upper chamber of a bicameral legislature being explicitly not designed to represent individual people in a perfectly proportional manner.

As originally designed, the US is not a nation with a strong central federal government that happens to be made up up 50 weak states and a handful of territories and districts. It's 50 strong states who happen to be united under one central but relatively weak federal government. In that context, having States represented equally, without regard to their populations, makes complete and total sense.

Completely by chance, that happens to indirectly overrepresent people you disagree with. That's unfortunate (depending on your ideology), but it certainly doesn't make the entire system broken or bad.

Sometimes more so, sometimes less, but its probably always going to be a thing.

That's OK, they have time. Excellent revenue, billions of dollars of pure profit post-tax... Yeah, their growth in 2022 left much to be desired, but every year prior was pretty much exponential - the trend is still positive.

They can clearly afford to take the time to downsize naturally.

In theory, but good luck getting a loan secured against IP for a reasonable rate.

Whether or not Coinbase is operating a securities exchange (they obviously are, despite the fact that I don't necessarily agree that "most" cryptocurrencies they list being securities by any reasonable application of the Howey test), and whether Coinbase Earn ("the product") is a security, are two distinct questions.
Same. Every time I dive into a repo using Jest it infuriates me. So slow. The built in test runner is great.

one of the useful things from nat.dev was the tokens/second calculation, latency is impt as usual. would be nice to enable?

i'm excited to see what the upcoming products are. making things default sharable like this across all frameworks would be really nice.
> Isn't a lot of this silliness due to them feeling like they needed to "poach" talented developers, so that the competion wouldn't get them

People say this from time to time, but have we ever got evidence from any company? A director or VP gave such mandates, a leaked email that discussed such strategy?
The change isn't really sudden and honestly I have a hard time having sympathy for those firms that were caught unaware. This provision was in the law since 2017 - anyone taking a chunk of VC money (including the VC lending it) should have been well aware of what would happen if Congress did not strike it before it took effect.

Honestly this is a bit like SVB all over again - poor management, in this case not knowing or understanding critical tax laws. And if you did know, shame on you for not contingency planning for Congressional ineptitude.
Almost a hundred years before that, but yeah that's kind of the point.

Prior to 1913 Senators weren't even elected by the popular vote, they were elected by state legislators. Literally elected by the State. One could argue that actually makes more sense.
True, that bug exists in what I wrote. Insert an `else { expiryTimes.delete(expiry); }` at the end of set to fix it. However, I note that KV.js has similarly severe bugs (some noted in my other comment in this thread—methods that use expired values, get() mangling falsy values) and its greater complexity makes it more likely to have bugs.

Very often I agree with you about the dangers of writing it yourself. But very often I also sufficiently dislike how libraries are implemented, with unnecessary bloat like excessive flexibility (all the options and such) or explicit runtime type checking rather than just letting things go wonky or blow up if given bad data.

In reality, in a case like this I would actually recommend something other than a generic container. Non-expiring keys? Use variables if the keys are a finite set of known values, or a Map if the keys are in fact arbitrary. Expiring keys? Use something vaguely like this, but probably wrapping Map<K, [number, V]>, made simpler by not supporting non-expiring keys (which mixture was what caused my bug, and which mixture I was never fond of).
Pretty much SOL.

You labeled them as 'woke' and then subsequently said they were demonstrating prejudice. The idea you may assert your opinion that they both have awareness and that they do not is your self-contradiction, not theirs. Claiming they are both is doublethink.
A lot of consumers are going to have two options for the first time soon due to 5G rollouts from T-Mobile, Verizon, and others.

And maybe you can use that label to more easily convince your local politicians that they should be giving more companies access to the poles.
I’ll own my comment as precisely not pejorative. But if the shoe fits, go ahead and wear it.
So basically that just proves the parent poster's point because the burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove that the defendant was carrying a bag containing a body and the defendant is under no obligation to remember or justify parking his car by the lake at 3am and walking around.

Do individual consumers honestly have enough choice in broadband at a single location that this would actually add value? It's been a while but last I checked "one ISP, two if you're super lucky" is the norm.

To the extent that you do have options, how likely is it that the secondary player is the same size and playing level as the majority player? Does this benefit them or hurt them?

I'm in a Top 50 market. You've got Fiber and DSL from AT&T, 5G from T-Mobile and Cable from Comcast. AT&T and Comcast have very uneven areas of coverage still and mostly don't overlap and 5G rollout started, but it's only available at a small fraction of addresses within the city. This would have almost no value for a residential consumer here.
Certainly puts the French government and Foreign Ministry in a curious spot. Were they the ones to ask Britain to intervene? What is a publisher doing on a counterterrorism watchlist? Are we to assume the worst that Britain is impinging on freedom of speech or just merely abusing a statute like the US and the Patriot Act?

I can see it working well politically for Macron to call for his release as a demonstration of civility and liberal virtue. However, before he swoops in, I suspect there is more to the story.
Sometimes I don't know what I want, or I don't know if the way I want to do it is possible. For these paths, using ChatGPT is very useful. So far my use cases are 'taking care of boilerplate' and 'finding ways to do things'.
They can look up why you were blocked, your ISP, your local POP, the page you were requesting and if it was because of a firewall rule they’ll see that too. Basically everything unique about your request.

So if they’re accidentally blocking people because a firewall rule is misconfigured you’ll let them know.

And I have to use Workplace everyday. :D

There's jank that can be fixed.

The problem with Slack is it creates an instant, continuous distraction noise barrage worse than email groups. We at least have a cultural norm of not DMing individuals (unless it's a SEV) and seeking info in group posts or maybe group chat.
I’ve lived in both. Both are fine and serve different communities and different people at different points in their lives. Ideally these different size dwellings are mixed in to the same neighborhood.

I didn’t mean to suggest one is bad (though I think skyscrapers are an anti-pattern as well just less harmful) - just that some Americans will paint any attempts at meaningful urbanization as Hong Kong as opposed to their current size home when the reality is there isn’t a size trade off that needs to be made you just need to do more with how the suburban neighborhood is built/zoned out.
Without some level of equity, what exactly is the point of meritocracy?

A pure meritocracy wouldn't prioritize curing rare diseases or ending poverty, and might not reduce suffering as much as a more equitable society, even if that equitable society has less raw talent and education, so obviously there's an optimal point.

That optimal point may be a function of the current state of tech, as more and more of the stuff people need education for is done by AI.

It's not like they're ever going to have zero high achievers, even without school at all there's always going to be a few genuises.

On the other hand, the better AI gets, the less anyone outside the top 1% actually needs math, because AI may be able to do most of what an average person could learn without unrealistic amount of effort way beyond their motivation.
These don't have to be run on every file in the repo, only the ones that have changed. At least not often. If it takes seconds, there is something wrong.
I wonder if we’ll see a group of Netflix employees take their hoarded cash comp and buy out the business from Netflix to make a go of it.

Probably more likely that Redbox will soak up most of the business and we’ll lose out on the interesting long-tail part of this.

To be fair, the Oracle of Delphi was probably getting high on volcanic fumes, so she likely didn't do much better.

How many people even own a DVD player anymore? That business has been on life support for years. There's nothing Netflix could do to revitalize it.
I've heard it in other context, but those people might have picked it up (indirectly) from Monty Python.
The servers are currently active and responding to requests, yes. There have been a lot of missteps since the acquisition though, I think party due to nobody to push back on feature requests coming from the top. No "can we look at some data" or "how about an a/b test." It's just straight from the top to production. I know most here are engineers but I honestly due appreciate product people thinking about that stuff.

At this point Twitter is likely way out of compliance with anything like GDPR. Users are finding that they are not actually able to fully delete their accounts. They remain there forever, but inactive. This by itself is a massive financial risk for the company. They are also being sued in at least one country for violating laws around speech.

Stability is maybe a little better than a few weeks ago, but we'll see. A car can go for a long time without doing any maintenance, but if you don't change the oil eventually even the best designed and engineered one is going to have a seized engine.

In markets like game development it's not uncommon to have one big release that generates a lot of revenue in one year, and then not release anything for a couple years and have minimal revenue as a result while you keep paying salaries. Carryforward won't help you in that case. Without this stupid amortization you could at least write off a full year's salaries against your launch income.
I think that both Cloudflare and the Lowe's stores of the world understand that these interventions have negative side effects. The problem is that leaving them out has even worse consequences, and no one has offered a sufficient alternative.

Put another way, one could reason that they'd prefer to do business with Lowes because they are actively investing in security measures. Perhaps your data is more likely to be compromised at Home Depot.
I don’t think it would be as long as there is a uniform way specified to measure it.

Oops.
It is weird how much of a talking point it is. No evidence whatsoever, yet it’s mentioned so frequently. “I just know that all the bad actors were not the good people.”

I’m sure soon the police will claim that the bad police officers are just non-police dressed up.

Bots? eh... probably gonna agree. Apps, hard no. API access to third-party apps is the only way to make competition work out in the end. IRQ, AIM, and MSN Messenger all existed around the same time, and thanks to XMPP, worked equally well on an XMPP client. This made it reasonable to use all 3 if a user wanted to, plus they could use their own server too, or a friends, or a company, or whatever. Thanks to SMTP, email is (mostly) the same way right now. On the other hand, the perfect example of how shuttering API access to apps can completely kill any competition exists right now in the form of Discord. Sure, Guilded exists, and one could argue Slack is a competitor, but tell me, do you genuinely use all three? Would they be interchangeable? Or do you split personal and professional between Discord and Slack? If all 3 had a common standard, or at least had open client api's, we'd already have a unified client, making all 3 easy to access at the same time, and we'd have good competition. Reddit has competition, and there are many third party apps that allow using all of them under one roof. Killing that off would not be a welcome change.

So yeah, Reddit may not need bots, but refusing to allow apps is just pushing another nail in the coffin of competition.
Same with gay marriage. Methinks the GP is taking a LOT for granted about federal programs being implemented well and not subject to the same malaise of partisan gridlock that prevents them from coming into existence.
How far along are you?
I don't know what Marsault was doing in 1980, but one of the things I was working on was serial drivers for the 6809 board (i think) Burrell Smith had hacked together for Jef Raskin (he also designed the later 68000 board, though I know Dan Kottke had something to do with it.) I had previously written modem drivers for the Apple II and Jef helped me get the required technical docs from Apple and Hayes. What I saw of the Mac prototype in 1980 was MUCH more like what became the SwyftCard for the Apple II or the Canon Cat. It didn't have a Mouse. It had a menu based interface, not WIMP. It reminded me much more of the Apple II Pascal system (that I think Jef might have had something to do with.) But... it was absolutely a prototype, complete with wire-wrap wires going everywhere and an apple II power supply attached to the board with what looked like dangerously spliced wires.

When I said the line between Raskin Mac and Jobs Mac was early '81, it's cause that's when Jobs took over the project and brought some of the ideas the Lisa team was working on with him.

The Verge and Folklore.Org recently published scans of Bill Atkisson's Polaroid photos of Lisa development. And while they don't all have dates, they show that even then there was a lot of experimentation going on, even after Jobs moved from Lisa to Macintosh. If you look at the two interfaces, the major features are quite similar (WIMP, Desktop Metaphor), but several details are different (scroll bar rendering, title bars, apps).

Before 1981, the Mac wasn't going to be a mouse driven, WIMP system. Heck, before 1979, when Jobs and Atkisson visited PARC, I'm not sure the Lisa was going to be a WIMP system.

Things only look linear when you look at them in reverse. What I remember from this time frame is everything was changing very fast. In 1979, CP/M was *THE* business operating system for microcomputers. In 1980, enough people had seen VisiCalc that the Apple II was becoming ascendant in business microcomputing circles. And just the rumor that IBM was working on a PC in late 1980 was enough for some people to delay buying anything that year.

Saying the Macintosh was a continuation of the Lisa Project is ridiculous. The Lisa guys were focused on the Lisa and the Macintosh guys were focused on the Mac. It's sort of like what Bill Gates is supposed to have quipped: "It's like we both lived next to this rich guy named Xerox. I broke into his house to steal his TV only to discover you had already stolen it."

Both teams were drawing from a rich collection of ideas that were swirling around.

The Mac guys benefited greatly from the Lisa team, but mostly in what not to try: the larger Lisa team was sufficiently staffed to try out a bunch of ideas, many of which didn't make the cut. And the QuickDraw that made its way into the Mac started on the Lisa. But to say this means the Lisa team was working to create the Macintosh after releasing the Lisa is ridiculous. They were two different teams with two different design objectives.
I'm super excited in graphing this over time. Will be interesting to see how the providers develop over the coming months.

When I first started watching anime, it felt very new and fresh, as if Japanese studios really truly cared about making well-written stories, and didn’t rely on lazy stereotypes or prudish Western conventions.

I very quickly realized that it felt new because it was new to me. Anime is chock full of stereotypes, cliches, re-hashed plot lines, and lazy unimaginative plots. Maybe even more so than Western media. 90% of anime absolutely is crap, just like 90% of everything else
>>As for "the ESG crowd", who do you really mean?

Well people like the clearly biased and terrible writer that wrote the article you linked to for one...

>>Recent articles[1] suggest the top ten advertisers have not and that revenue is down pretty far, so I suspect that's not quite right.

that same report your article is citing says they project Twitter Ad Revenue to be 2020 levels, and he Cut costs Massively, so if he getting 2020 levels of Revenue, and has lowered costs believe 2020, then we can look to see if that would make the company profitable and it seems to me that would be a good possiblity.

Ohh know he does not have the Ultra Political activist marketing directors at these brands that are just one marketing misstep of becoming the next Bug Light....

This is such a welcome requirement in my book. Especially the requirement to include upload speeds. One of the providers in my area (spectrum) never shows the upload speed anywhere on any main page. It is buried deep in very fine print with the terms and conditions.

And even where it does survive scrutiny based on the values of the factions involved in the compromise, it may not for other people in different contexts. I mean, we’re in an age where slavers are, like pirates and torturers, recognized as hostis humani generis, but many of the compromises in the Constitution are between two major factions, one of which thought slavery should be legally tolerated but not especially protected and favored, and the other of which thought that slavery should be specially protected and slavers should be rewarded with full extra votes for each slave – and the compromises all throughout the Constitution between those two factions tended to favor the latter faction. Sure, where it explicitly concerns slavery, those have been mostly reversed (outside of the open door for penal slavery), but the substructures agreed in compromises between those factions whose underlying purpose related to slavery but which did not reference it have been in many cases preserved, and even there defenders often can come up with little beyond “It’s working as designed”.
If you have a crowd of 500 and 100 of them are bad actors, how do you disperse only the bad actors?

But this is frequently done when curfews are enacted. They are put in place and limit civil rights of everyone to control a few bad people.
Ha haaaa. I'm sure mega-corps get a much better treatment.
Why doesn't ruff reading/writing from stdin/out, combined with passing the data in with python subprocess.run and os.pipe work here?

cat bad.py | ruff check --fix --stdin-filename stdin.py - > good.py

Substituting bad.py and good.py for in-memory os.pipe objects for your data. This still involves spawning a subprocess, which can add up, but you're not having to read/write to disk at least.
What the diagram doesn’t tell you is that it is the maximum possible payment for an exploit, and to get it for Android it needs to work on far many more operating system versions than iOS as well as being independent from Google Play Services.

Zerodium pays out based on the maturity of the exploit, how many versions it covers and what are its dependencies and ease of exploit.
