I hope you realize the login wall was something that came up before musk aquired twitter. one of the first things he did was remove it.
that's mentioned at the end of Page 17. The author tells it's a short term solution: "This is merely a stopgap measure, as the censor can enable their censorship for UDP."

It doesn't seem that there are any (long term) solution to bypass the rules ...

Nitter mirrors usually offer RSS feeds (e.g. <nitter>/<user>/rss) which is how I've been keeping up with a few accounts for years now.

We'll see how long the feeds continue working for.

Looks like it occurs in private windows as well. In the past, twitter set cookies to distinguish between visitors who never had an account, and visitors who have an account but are logged out. Publicly visible posts were displayed to no-account visitors, but blocked from logged-out visitors.
I stopped using Twitter months ago. Stopped Tweeting and only visit the site if I need to follow a link. I never announced it. There was a trend of high profile Tweeters announcing their departure, and some may well have relapsed (I don't keep track) but it would be interesting to see how many people just stopped bothering with the site and all its drama.

What an argument.

Sun: can I live forever in a cave so I don't get any sunlight? No, you can't (in practical terms). But you can use sunscreen and you can limit the number of hours you get exposed to sun (don't be a dick and lay down on the beach 5h straight during hot summer days). Problem fixed.

Alcohol: can I live forever without drinking any alcohol. Yes, you can. Problem fixed.
I happen to work for a company that has banned alcohol for religious reasons. I would not say the company is particularly social, on the contrary. However, as an alcoholic[0] maybe I am blinded or excluded from the social nirvana of my non-alcoholic colleagues.

As far as I know, Portugal has a pretty strong hard drug problem and they also have lots of drug smuggle.

So I see a need to do further harm reduction.
The main issue is that a list of pointers is inefficient but also overkill; a small list is probably fine as an array even if you're mutating it.

But intrusive lists also have clearer ownership, since the object knows all the lists it can be in, and that's handy sometimes.
I wrote KeenWrite, a free and open-source cross-platform tool, to create Markdown-based books. KeenWrite calls out to ConTeXt to typeset the documents and uses my KeenType fork for typesetting math while in preview mode. KeenWrite can generate PDF files from the command-line.

* https://github.com/DaveJarvis/keenwrite

For example:

java -jar keenwrite.jar \
--all \
--r-dir=$PWD/bin \
--r-script=$PWD/bin/editor.R \
--image-dir=$PWD/images \
--variables=$PWD/variables.yaml \
--theme-dir=$HOME/dev/java/keenwrite/themes/boschet \
--metadata=title={{book.title}} \
--metadata=byline={{book.author.byline}} \
--metadata=keywords={{book.keywords}} \
--metadata=copyright={{book.copyright}} \
--metadata="reviewer=$1 $2, $3" \
--chapters="-14" \
--input="$PWD/chapter/01.Rmd" \
--output="${TEMP_NAME}"

That mouthful compiles the book that I'm writing. The book defines numerous variables that are referenced throughout the prose and defined in an external file. Variables can also be passed in as metadata, which tells ConTeXt various PDF properties to embed. The chapters argument allows selecting a subset of chapters to build (e.g., 1-3,5,9-15,22). Lastly, the theme directory points ConTeXt to the instructions to use when typesetting the document, which controls colours, fonts, layout, annotations, etc.

Some sample outputs:

Anyone know, if there is an adblocker with a "hide" mode instead of a "block" mode?
I mean, instead of blocking the connection fetch the ad, but hide it visually? I would be fine with a YouTube ad blocker, that allows ads to play, but just mutes and `display:none`'s the video player element.

The algorithm found seems so unintuitive that I wonder if it was not found by the AI.

"Allow a connection to continue if the first TCP payload (pkt)
sent by the client satisfies any of the following exemptions:

Ex1:
popcount(pkt)
len(pkt) ≤ 3.4 or popcount(pkt)
len(pkt) ≥ 4.6.

Ex2: The first six (or more) bytes of pkt are [0x20,0x7e].

Ex3: More than 50% of pkt’s bytes are [0x20,0x7e].

Ex4: More than 20 contiguous bytes of pkt are [0x20,0x7e].

Ex5: It matches the protocol fingerprint for TLS or HTTP.

Block if none of the above hold."

Users will remain, they will just represent a much more narrow slice of society than before. They will be smaller in number and Twitter itself will be less of an 'approved' service — I feel like we already see less promotion of it on TV and on news sites.
If the primary justification for the reparations is that it sets right the wrongs caused by unequal treatment, pointing out the lack of compensation for other groups is relevant since it is also unequal treatment, no?
>> Your local lanes are oiled in a way that helps turn misses into strikes, and when coupled with recent advances in bowling ball technology, have produced an abundance of 300 games among amateurs

Sorry, is this real? I haven't gone bowling since I broke my wrist in an accident 20 years ago. I was never a great bowler before that, but it never crossed my mind that the bowling alley would somehow conspire to help me get a high score. If anything, bad shoes and too much wax would send me sliding. I know most of the good old bowling alleys died, and got replaced by these new urban work/life/bowling/sushi places that charge $50 a game, but are they really putting special grease patterns down to let the sensitive children walk away happy for instafucking more strikes? Is that a real fucking thing?
OpenAI London
I worked on a team with two other engineers. I was in the EU, one was in Australia, and one on the west coast of the US.

We had very, very little overlap to have meetings (unless one of us wanted to wake up early or have a late night meeting, which happened a few times). We did everything async, even meetings and decisions.

The best part would be learning how to open a WIP PR, with enough detail that someone else could understand what you were going to do. You'd wake up in the morning to find a team member had contributed to your PR, either by fixing nits (we didn't have time to go back-and-forth on shenanigans or it would take weeks just to merge a single PR), or by actually implementing some idea they had. So, if you didn't like it, you'd just remove that commit from your PR.

It was fun, but it takes a lot of trust!
Unregretted attrition targets did not fluctuate by earnings in my area at AWS.
But as "gender" (in the sense of "gender identity") is a euphemism for these thoughts, feelings and desires, this amounts to the same thing.

"Gender identity" in itself is a term used to obscure the various different reasons why some people choose to trans themselves. Often alongside thought-terminating clichés such as TWAW, to try to ward off any further scrutiny.
Adding comments to your static blog with Mastodon
I hate when people bring up VVVVVV as a counter-argument to "But my code is embarrassing!". Saying it's an example of "truly awful code" when it's beautiful and well-structured compared to my stuff just makes me confident that I will never get over the embarrassment.

Very true, MIT should disclose their military affiliations too when publishing. Otherwise, they are just dishonest
This is a hard stretch. That login wall is easily dismissible. Haven't come across any tweet, even content that could be considered "premium" like Tucker's long form video commentaries, that is not available behind the login wall.

EDIT: I was wrong. This was the behavior not so long ago, seems like any link now redirects to homepage.
> I know that iterm2 is a popular choice but it doesn’t have fontfallback which makes it garbage

iTerm2 is my daily driver; so I’m astonished to learn that it’s “garbage.” Maybe it’s just a rhetorical shortcut meant to catch the attention of readers; but why not just say that it doesn’t meet his usage needs?
It’s not about being “absolved”, it’s about literally different sets of people on both sides.

If you can find the individuals and draw a straight line, then you have a case. If not, well, not fair, but welcome to reality.
Kindly present your arguments explicitly, because it is unclear what you mean - why this would be unimportant, why that more important etc. We cannot invest hours trying to reconstruct a "best interpretation".
I think this is flawed thinking. For one thing it benefits everyone to help those who have been systematically disadvantaged. Also, respecting people = giving them needed material benefits not saying “I respect you”

We need to keep revisiting the shameful times lest they are forgotten instead of forgetting about them and moving on.

> nobody in an actual emergency has any idea of the details of FAA policies or is running through their logical implications

It certainly occurs to me now. I'm not going to pull an overhead item. But I may be more inclined to grab my laptop if it's already in the seat in front of me.

More productively: if you can honestly say that passengers will get their onboard items within 7 days of an emergency during the in-flight safety message, maybe you'll influence behavior.
This seems quite unnecessary and over-complicated. Trust me, Google will have you tracked one way or the other, so it might be better to just grab a prepaid visa gift card for your Youtube Premium subscription and save yourself the trouble. Any grocery or convenience store can sell those to you with untraceable cash with ease.

> Those union soldiers were never fighting to end slavery. They were fighting to maintain the union.

The Union soldiers could and did fight for both things. I reminder that this one one of the most popular marching songs for Union troops at the time:

John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back!
His soul is marching on!
His pet lambs will meet him on the way;
They go marching on!
They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree!
As they march along!
Now, three rousing cheers for the Union;
As we are marching on!

Of course, individual opinions could and did vary a lot, but the very popularity of the song surely demonstrates the common sentiment among the troops. The elites, now, that is a more interesting question.
For science and statistics, I think Quarto is excellent: https://quarto.org
It does seem like this GFW scheme can be tuned to severely degrade the reliability of any unapproved high entropy traffic. However, this single scheme doesn't cover many other types of circumvention traffic, several of which are noted in the beginning of the paper. This scheme primarily applies to "fully encrypted" traffic - not SSL/TLS, etc.

So for now, circumvention can live on, but this explains to everyone using fully encrypted protocols exactly why their connections would have been degraded over the past couple years. In the long term, steganography will probably work well as long as users are able to endure much higher costs for traffic (low ratio of true data to apparent data) and as long as the steganographic systems are effective at hiding any statistical fingerprints (very difficult). Protocol mimicry is another strategy, but a paper cited in this work details why successful protocol mimicry is very difficult.[0]

Attempts to disguise circumvention traffic as typical traffic is very difficult, because a lot of fingerprinting information can be gleaned from handshakes and headers. The draw of fully encrypted traffic is that it provides very little variation which can be used to fingerprint and classify different types of usages. However, it's also easy to detect and block en masse -- that much is obvious, but this paper does a great job of showing how China does it and inferences can be made from that to provide a view into China's priorities (how much cost they're willing to incur, rates of false positives they feel is acceptable). Overall, China's blocking current appears to be fairly conservative here, with relatively low rates of false positives.

In wider context, China is constantly updating their detection schemes, they're quite competent at it, and anything which doesn't match typical traffic is at risk.

It's actually making it spend less energy than it creates that's the hard part.
> So I see a need to do further harm reduction.

Harm reduction is a series of publicly funded social and rehabilitation/substitution programs that has absolutely nothing to do with legalizing any sort of drugs. Legalization is an entire different question, just don't try to make "harm reduction" yet another buzzword for legalization.
I am not a prolific twitter user. I am one of the "anonymous lurkers" I mentioned in my original comment. But your observation makes sense, as I only started visiting Twitter after Elon's takeover. The removal of the login wall must have been the reason.
It's not grsecurity's idea, it started on the 90s when Spender was in kindergarten or so. It's always been the way free software companies made money.
> Mostly because they're now managed like products and actually are - singular implementation, no standardization effort attempted. Thuse "move fast and break things" and an ever-increasing scope creep are part of the deal. If you aren't adding some feature, you seem dead.

That has always been the case, even more so when all programming languages were commercial products and newer versions had to be sold.
As someone who dropped their platform, for anything but some obscure repair videos, from years ago that makes me smile. People there behave like addicts who lost their dosage due to dope seller finally giving them the real price after hooking them with free samples, either rave like mad or pay whatever overpriced bill they are given.
Interesting ruling. I hope this goes to SCOTUS, since there hasn't been a clear distinction (that I'm aware of) for what constitutes a "public square" for communication, and this could indirectly affect a number of other legal issues surrounding social media.

Do I think cops should get a warrant before dragnetting your social media posts? Yeah, sure, I like that idea. Do I also think you are an idiot if you post public with no privacy settings? You bet your ass I do.
I work in FAANG as well.

Never seen a place with worst technical debt, complexity and just difficult to work in.

I am convinced that commodification is what is actually causing all the issues we are seeing.

A bunch of mediocre developers getting in the way and creating complexity without any creativity, out of the box thinking or even holistic view of the system.

But management wants more people so that everybody can leave and not holding the company hostage.

Guess what? It is only worse. Very few people can actually make progress and those people are constrained by the whole team around them.
That sounds...arbitrary and subject to politicisation.

How do you dismiss it? I just get redirected to /home from everything. Even if I click the "X", I just end up on the frontpage instead of the page I wanted to see.

There has been 1,300+ studies in to aspartame. Pretty much all of them trying to prove that aspartame is bad for you. The fact, they've consistently tried and failed to prove a risk after so much testing yet continue to say it may be harmful just leads me to think this is more of a story line being pushed. It is impossible to prove a negative, you can't prove it can't give you cancer. And any attempt to prove it can cause you cancer fails. Not just 100 attempts, not 500, not 1000 attempts over 1,300 attempts have failed.

If someone tried to prove an airplane design can fly 1,300 times and all it did was come off the ground for a centimeter for half a second, would you say "this airplane design can possibly fly"? I doubt any reasonable person would. But with aspartame there is an idea in people's heads that it's harmful and should be avoided therefore people continue to go with the theory that even though they've failed to prove it's harmful 1,300 times they may do so in the future.
Thanks for bringing up those questions!

We did not make mention of the performance overhead because we don't have that data to share yet. Timecraft is a young project, and our initial focus is on exploring the use cases that the solution applies to.

That being said, we know that performance is extremely important, and our engineering team has spent a lot of time in their career working on scaling and optimizing large-scale and high-performance systems. Performance will be part of the challenges on our journey, and we're excited for when the time will come to focus on it!

As soon as we have metrics from production workloads that we can release, we'll publish them to share our learnings with our user base. Until then, stay tuned!

Some of the issues regarding ABI are caused by compiler vendors themselves, ISO C++, just like ISO C, has zero content on ABI.

Same applies to stuff like std::regex, compiler vendors are the ones to blame.

In any case, there is plenty of C++98 code that won't compile in C++23, because even ISO C++ does break backwards compatibility.

Not sure what will happen this time.
The NRC does not plan to regulate fusion power the same way it does fission power [1]. Rather, it’s handled under the same framework as particle accelerators, which in many cases, falls under the jurisdiction of state health and environmental regulations. My partner was a state regulator involved in the rule making process for this, and the rules are intended to be far less restrictive than what fission requires.

Regulatory requirements are the least of fusion’s problems, compared to the technological challenges of actually working reliably in the first place, let alone with the high uptime that fission power enjoys.
