The wireless charger is kind of weird. Those things generate a decent amount of heat and seem like something you’d want to buy separately and upgrade every few years rather than being stuck in a desktop.

But obviously I’m not in the target audience, because that feature has received positive press.
>This I think would be an 'ideal solution' - if we could achieve that with what we're building do you think it would be useful or would there be more problems you'd foresee?

What I "foresee" is you're going to end up devoting more and more effort into something that is not 'core' to your app/platform

Maybe that's a good thing

Maybe it isn't

Personally ... using another cliche, I prefer to not 'reinvent the wheel' when I can use a perfectly good one that already exists (maybe I need an axle adapter and gear box to connect ... but those are a lot easier to implement than the whole shooting match)
PSA: Twitter one-click dev subscriptions
If you are navigating the Twitter dev environment, please be extremely careful.

All the subscriptions, including $100/month and $5000/month, can be activated with a single click (they have now added the wording to the button). This means there are no refunds if you accidentally click on the $5k subscription. I accidentally did so two weeks ago when it was also the default tab (I had no idea the $5k subscription even existed). They immediately charged $5k.

I opened a support ticket and downgraded shortly after realizing the mistake. However, they did not reply for two weeks and now they are saying there are no refunds whatsoever. It's a real nightmare, and I would advise anyone to be cautious when doing business with Twitter at this point. I have had unexpected charges with GCP, AWS, Vercel, and others, and they have always been handled gracefully. I'm at a loss for words and hope that this will at least raise some awareness of how much the new Twitter values its developer community.
lol yes, wireguard.
To be fair usually the goal of a do-it-yourself is to learn or achieve something you personally hadn’t before.

I think they achieved a lot and I’m glad they maintained a positive outlook while also being honest with their audience.
Sidebar:

Is there even value in 2023 in having a "subreddit" called /r/Celebrities ? (Or funny, pics, sports, all ... )

It feels like there should be a natural "cap" to a sub's "TAM" or a 100% conversion from catgeory to community subreddits, to limit the blast radius of spam, scams, etc and create clearer rules of engagement for the good faith participants.

Or maybe /r/Celebrities could just be a no-comment curation of top posts of actual celebrity subreddits, with a paid Redditor at the top.

Anyway just weird to me.
Golang on the back-end (with mysql and redis) and React on the front-end.
It would be interesting to know how many moderators Twitter has. They do have ad income, so they can afford to employ full time staff. Then again, Reddit does well with volunteer moderators.
Fantastic article! Love the visualizations and your explanations are concise and very clear.
Yes, it’s a combination of hating the rich people (which is a very valid sentiment, btw) and of invading a sacred “burial” space. If they had somehow gotten there on their own dime, like those divers you mentioned, then, yeah, it’s a little too morbid for me but whatever suits them.

But to sell tickets (worth a staggering 250k) in order to visit the burial place of a couple thousand people is just not ok, it destroys the place’s sacred aura.

Just imagine if they had left the ruins of the Twin Towers in place, including the dead and decomposing people under those ruins, and if they had started selling tickets in order to visit said place. Totally not ok.
imagine being shadowbanned

Hackers threaten to leak stolen data if Reddit doesn’t reverse API changes
I doubt it, because the choice can always be impacted by outside actors. I believe AIs in the future will just manipulate people and keep pumping new stuffs for the sake of keeping them interested, instead of struggling to understand each individuals' taste. It's much cheaper, easier, practical and effective.

Recognizing that you are thinking of nothing and especially being aware that period is now over is forward progress. Keep at it and you will be able to "meditate" much longer.
the issue i see from outside the us is how complicated they have made their election ballots. Our provincial and federal ballots are write a single X in circle beside the name of the politician one is voting for. the walking over with it covered to cast it. the automation, if at all, is a vote tabulation machine. but the ballots are able to be recounted too. The US seems to have 101 issues on theirs too and that make’s manual tabulation tedious. also, there doesnt seem to be anyone fixing line ups. when i lived in Toronto, i walked in, voted, walked out. anything more than a total of 15min is considered very long to wait. there are polling stations in every neighbourhood.

Yeah but you can keep source material at 44.1k and oversample before the DAC.

And 24 bit is nice purely because you can regulate volume in software without losing fidelity (if DAC is good enough). But again, no such requirement on source, just the processing pipeline
Am I going crazy, or has the obvious implementation of such a change been missed on people? If they were proposing taking a multi-threaded app and splitting it into a multi-process one, I would predict they would find a hell of a lot of unexpected or unknown implicit communication between threads, which would be a nightmare to untangle.

Going the other way, there is an extremely well understood interface between all the processes which run in isolation: shared memory. Nearly by definition this must be well coordinated between the processes.

So the first step in moving to a multi-threaded implementation would be to change nearly nothing about each process, and then just run each process in its own pthread, keeping all the shared memory ‘n all.

You would expect performance to be about the same, maybe a little better with the reduces TLB churn, but the architecture is basically unchanged. At that point, you can start to look at what are more appropriate communication/synchronisation mechanisms now you’re working in the same address space.

I just don’t understand why so many people seem to think this requires an enormous rewrite - having developed as a multi-process system means you’ve had to make so much of the problematic things explicit and control for them, and none of these threads would know anything at all about each other’s internals.
Only needs to be one or two. Spam filters pull from a buncha sources, so pissing off Spamhaus or SORBS or whatever once is enough to get burned everywhere. Ditto for a lot of other sites.

The specific content doesn't really matter, tripping the sensors for enough sites could potentially get entire IP blocks flagged.

They may not also be able to reveal specifics if it is an ongoing investigation.
Very cool! I didn't know bing can do that. Gotta try.
It just got a new major release with REI3.4:
https://rei3.de/en/news#article-2023-06-19
Custom analytics, very barebone:

- A single “events” table in my DB (Postgres)

- A simple POST /track request with some conventions: a type (error or analytics), a name and a jsonb of data (with similar conventions).

- A couple of Postgres views for very specific “dashboards”: paying customers, referrers per week, etc…

- A telegram bot with a few buttons that allows me to quickly get insights about the health of my system and analytics on the go

- Privacy is very dear to me: I have full control over the code and storage and can ensure that only the utmost minimum is stored when it comes to my users’ data (I am blind of some fronts due to this but it’s a trade off that I’m willing to make)

(In total I probably spent 10h building it, over the course of 4 years: very much worth it)
Why is this study so underpowered ? It should be trivial to assemble a massive labelled dataset of hits/not-hits. Additionally, every metric should be compared to the human baseline, not an ML baseline. If an average nobody can identify a prospective hit-song with higher accuracy than the best ML model, then then the ML baseline is completely meaningless.

No offense, but I have seen better ML 101 capstone projects.
That would be great, in theory, but:

1) This rule is not applied consistently, as we all know.

2) Doesn't the post represent new phenomenon? Has this thing happened before? (government taking real, tangible action against DEI in education, not just talk etc.). If not, then by guidelines, it should be ok, unless it's not "interesting" (whatever that means).
It’s not ridiculous. It’s short-circuiting the depression that comes with loneliness by allowing the primal part of you to reconnect with nature. It works. There’s a whole industry around this premise. Once you reconnect with nature, your immediate instinct is to reconnect with others. So in a way it’s paving the path back to social relationships and community.

You have to wonder. What would the world look like if more publishers had gone the route of styling RSS or Atom feeds, and maybe supported and extended the relevant standards in the places they found those standards to be deficient?
Could we have ended up with a world where content delivery was all RSS, the relationship was exclusively between you and the publisher, and we didn't need Meta as the middle-man sucking publisher profits dry while convincing our daughters to kill themselves?

...Nahhhhh, I'm sure that going full neanderthal, RSS LOOK SCARY, clubbing it over the head and removing it from a website is the better approach. /snark
I couldn't identify the wiki aspect (implied by reddit), however looks awesome so far.
I liked the old /. system where everyone could be a moderator occasionally, but you couldn't go haywire because you were limited in how many mod actions you could take within a given time window. It wasn't perfect, but it was a nice take on the moderation problem.

The moderator’s supposed post at Lemmy has more details and replies from them, and indicates that they were expecting this outcome eventually:

https://lemmy.world/post/316878

> Edit 2: I’ll also add, that I was never going to re-open the sub because I knew Reddit wasn’t going to yield. Thus, I was prepared for the outcome. I did hope to string them along for a bit longer and waste resources, but you can’t win them all.
It doesn't really matter if lemmy kills reddit. If a new community grows and survives after this whole thing, that's a win for everybody.
Turning the blur down, changing the shadow to a nice bright colour, turning up the number of layered shadows, and then wibbling the X and Y parameters around gives a nice oldschool Winamp Milkdrop plugin rotozoomer type effect.

The important issue with VLF radio in this case is that what we need is sub->ship communication. VLF relies on massive antenna, often ground based to (very slowly) send message to subs. My understanding is that for comms the other way, the sub needs to raise an antenna above the surface (then possibly doing laser comms to a satellite so that no radio emissions give away sub locations).
I use an ambient light rejecting screen. They only reflect light that hits them from directly below, to pair with a UST projector. It's still not comparable to an active display, but it is usable during daytime, even in rooms with large windows.

I recently noticed that listening to birds singing make me feel incredibly melancholic. I was very lonely for a few years. I was listening to the singing a lot when I was at my place, and now I have associated birds singing and loneliness. It is unfortunate that something so calming and beautiful now makes me feel sad. It has become the sound of loneliness to me.
Anecdotally, I disagree. I definitely feel more lonely when I’m in large groups and feel disconnected. If I’m alone, I’m not lonely unless I’m thinking about those large groups and my absence of connection - and I can even feel lonely if my connections just aren’t available at a given moment.
cool, I enjoyed reading article and playing with visualizations.

Some people (males) are better parents at 50, some are horrible at 20 and only slightly better at 25.

I became father at 38, second time at 40. I am much better father than I would be 10 years ago. I've done some cool shit before this happened, reinvented myself few times, tons of extreme/adrenaline sports, backpacking around the world, bought house for parents, and I have very little left to prove to myself and absolutely nothing to anybody else.

I understood exactly what makes me 'tick' and long term happy, understand myself and women much much better, so I could pick (hopefully) a lifetime partner and mother of our children more appropriately. All this takes time, for some like me a bit more to grok properly. Not even going into career and financial stability, those are obvious and not that important once you are above 'poor' threshold.

Its fine for a guy to be parent a bit later, just be sure to use that extra free time to make yourself the best version of yourself, and not waste it on shallow stuff like couch binge watching or parties, grow out of such things since there are much much better things to do in life, like rock climbing. And recognize toxic/broken relationships, take a (hard) lesson and move away from them, unfortunately you can't fix broken people.
The problem with rolling back tech use is that it's very hard to do incrementally in an individual person's life, without giving up a lot, and losses tend to sting way more than equivalent gains make us happy. So sure, I can do regular tech sabbaths, or spend time on true vacation, and that helps my sanity. But every time I try and do something like remove email from my phone (and I hate having email on my phone), something comes up where I don't have my computer and I'd really like to send an email, or someone uses email instead of a text for something time sensitive, and I end up re-installing it.

I really wish there were intentional low-tech communities besides the Amish. I would happy reduce my tech use by 9/10ths if that lifestyle was supported by the people around me.

Most of the digital semiconductor design EDA / CAD tools from Cadence and Synopsys use Tcl as the built in scripting language. I have to work with thousands of lines of Tcl code whether I want to or not.

I learned Tcl / Tk back in 1995 because I wanted to write GUI programs and Hello World in Motif was about 2 pages of boiler plate code while in Tcl / Tk it was about 2 lines.

Then I started in the chip design world and Tcl took over so it was good that I already knew it. I was teaching the older engineers Tcl so it helped me gain their respect.

Consulting for 4mo. considering doing something else
I was laid off from my TPM gig about four months ago. Transitioning from core dev to a technical product role seemed like a good idea to broaden my future options and explore an area of tech I was curious about. At the time I had around 4yrs of SWE experience, mixture of FAANG and two startups.

Market conditions in January had a serious impact on the startup I was working for as a TPM and unfortunately my role was liquidated.

In the meantime I've been consulting for a friend's YC company in a technical role and that's been great but it's just not quite fulfilling my goals financially. I have equity and can cover my monthly expenses but it feels like I'm falling backwards.

I've also come to realize that having "TPM" on my resume or something about my resume (no gaps, just a few startup stints about 1.8yrs long) has proved to be a death knell to my job prospects?

Either the market is totally screwed or I've somehow marked myself as a problematic employee?

My mentor suggested moving forward with strong cover letters and branding myself as a "product minded engineer" however I'm really starting to worry about job security.

Should I just consider doing something else entirely? Tech sales etc? I feel like I've wasted 4yrs of my life getting a CS degree and pissed away what could've been a fruitful career if I'd just taken the boring path and stayed at Amazon all this time.

Any advice is appreciated, feeling pretty down at the moment.

It did change though, I’ve been using them since they started but in the past 2ish years their network is very bad, slow, continuous interruptions and disconnects (can’t say it correlates but noticed happened around the time Mozilla VPN started as they use the mullvad backbone), blocked in a lot of regions even in some government websites, anong other issues, the straw was when they stopped port forwarding.
