I don't see any unusual behavior when looking at the debugger in Chrome. People have a political issue with Elon. Which is fine. People are entitled to it.
What use cases do you actually have for plugins? I mean, why do you need that hotloading factor?
And in some absolutely bizarre anti-logic, I’ve seen some decide that the person trying to warn is somehow responsible for the inevitable outcome.

Not enough of you believed and now this balloon is adrift and will never make it to Imaginationland.
Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately i can't delete the post anymore.
Unions are generally predicated on representing their members, but there are countless permutations of nuance where such representation would also benefit or protect the company, at least to some extent.
It sounds like you were insecure about certain things like dating and got over it via psychedelics

I mean if that works, sure. But what happens in the future if you latch onto some other insecurity? Will you just take a psychedelic again? Is that going to actually fix the problem?
Why can’t “psychedelics” be the name for the category?
But if you count salaries in the amount of efficiency and uptime per employee per user per dollar spent is astronomically higher in favor of Mastodon
How is he racist? Can you cite an example?
It is true that when you dig deep into the fundamental beliefs of people, that they hold many things in common. I actually don't believe the political divide we experience today is something organic, as in being part of the human condition, rather it is artificially managed by the aforementioned mainstream media, et al, and to a good extent once they've stoked the fires well enough, we keep it up on our own. But the flames would die down if they just left it alone to be handled by people.

Being the change you want to see in the world is always a good start. But I think it is wishful the point of naivety to claim that it is enough to just be the change you want to see in the world. I can do a great job of not littering by the beach, but as long as the oceans keep getting polluted by plastics from a few certain nations, it really is a fruitless endeavor in the long term.

I don't think being toxic in a political way to your peers is good for any reason at all, it's harmful to you and others around you in every way, but I also don't have any hopes that just because I try to hold a better tone, that the world would actually change. The control that mainstream media holds over democracy is huge, and arguably cannot be overstated.

The true divide as I see it doesn't lie between people left or right leaning, but between people and an international clique of wealthy and influential people that permeate all western nations.

And while there are many issues which people will agree are just different flavors of fruit, some issues are fundamental. You say that:

>It doesn't matter how you bin your enemies: religion, race, political ideologies; it is all painting with a wide brush that divides people that could get along.

And to that I say: We don't ge along. At this point it is a matter of fact statement rather than one of prejudice. The result of the current trajectory in the west is one towards civil war, because we do not get along. It is a fundamental belief among some that all cultures, races, and even ideologies can get along. That some kind of transcendent centrism can bridge all gaps and make everyone happy. I do not subscribe to that belief on a moral or philosophical level, let alone see any evidence of it actually being real in historical terms.

I think it could be possible to get along, if perhaps only one or two of these "religion, race, political ideologies" were present and divergent in the general population. But the current mix of all three, no way.
> Employment is not the choice

If you’re a software engineer anywhere in the US (with exception of H1B/TN/etc), where you work is 100% your choice. There isn’t a shortage of open engineering roles in this country. Nearly 100% of full time positions include fully paid healthcare.
In 1997, I predicted the rise or fall of literary reputations
>Its still not clear why this even has any value.

It's simply human nature. The scale simply increased from a family ornfriend group, to community, to a world population.

Media reflects reality in this case.
Parent comment specifically mentioned H1B visas as the problem. It doesn't have much to do with how good you are. You can't just choose any other job. You need to find an employer who has a H1B visa Program support. While I'm sure that there are employers who offer this support and still have some quotas available, the choice is very limited in comparison with the whole line of work you are referring to, plus in this case the leverage that the employee has is very little so many will choose to stay and endure but not as a preference but just to avoid the problems.
I believe the point that’s illustrated here is that it may be possible to find other work that will sponsor an H1-B visa.

Maybe I'm showing my age here but I really think file managers hit the high water mark back in some midway point between Windows 95 and Windows 2000 in Windows and with Nautilus during the Gnome 2.x days. I used to be a real fan of the elementary-nautilus builds in a ppa for Ubuntu in the 8.04 LTS releases. I don't comment on OSX because I really didn't use it much in those days.

These days most file managers just seem to be an increasingly contrary to the essential use of a file manager: managing files, moving files, inspecting files.

I'm sure these wallpapers built-in are attractive. I'd probably even like it if I used it a bit. But something in me just rejects the idea this could be useful at all. It seems more like something that would be a distraction. When I was looking at the github to see what it looked like I actually scrolled by it because I didn't think it was the file manager at all.

Who likes this kind of thing? Can you really make this useful without getting distracted or being annoyed at the loss of usable space taken up by the wallpaper?
Unrelated to article but thanks for publicising the work on PEF. It’s one of those papers and codebases I scan though every now and then attempting to understand it better. I’ll get there one day and hopefully be able to reimplement it myself, for no real purpose other than understanding.

Blowing the whistle with internal comms as evidence != Writing an opinionated blog post
I think it's better to try and educate people not to rely on reviews than to make "fake" reviews illegal. Lots of wasted resources in enforcement, and tons of ways to get around it allowing scammers to take advantage of naive consumers that think a law helps them.
I generally agree with you and do believe that having the ability to just quit a job is a privilege (regardless of what industry you’re in) for the reasons you mentioned (other reasons include your age (harder to get a job if you’re over 40 b/c of ageism), family responsibilities, part of the country you live in) BUT I do want to push back a little bit on current Twitter employees just a bit.

It is absolutely true that for some people, they don’t have a choice in just quitting because of healthcare or H1B stuff. That’s absolutely true. But we're now at the 8 month mark of Elon buying Twitter. If you truly feel like it is a toxic and untenable place to work, you have had opportunities to explore other options. That doesn’t mean I judge or fault people who have chosen to stay, but this wasn’t January when there were tons of layoffs and uncertainty. Things have calmed down and while job offers aren’t falling off trees like they were in 2021, it isn’t the complete end of the world either.

People do have some agency eight months in. Again, I won’t judge anyone for staying for whatever the reason is, but let’s not pretend as if every person remaining (H1B or not) is void of all agency.

A garage startup doing this with a thousand users would be cool and fun. An established large platform with hundreds of millions of users doingg this is just undermining its own reputation.
> Which implication your words definitely seemed to be (if obliquely) echoing and supporting. Or at least playing footsie with, for some reason known only to you.

I’ll note that you can’t even accuse me of doing anything even remotely concrete. “Seemed to.” “If obliquely.” “Playing footsie.” All just accusations of association. Not a leg to stand on at all.

Take your control round over who is batting for the correct team elsewhere.

> US calculations as such are a red herring.

Then just say that. My God. No one cares.
I don't agree or disagree (well that's not true, but it's not particularly important), but I sure hope this trend of dismissing everything as a "cope" like some middleschool kid sitting up the back of the classroom doesn't survive '23.

Listened to some of that twitter spaces the other day about the Russian coup and discovered that there are grown adults using that word to label just about anything that doesn't fit with their stance.

It's a little embarrassing and very online.
partially, but even then the point still stands, altough then we adjust the pros and cons of staying at your workplace.

But still, that's no way near comperable to working class who, if they loose their current job, won't have just the inconvenience of flying back home, but will actually loose their (already below standard) day-to-day nessecities
One nine allows 10% downtime. That's 36 days per year. I doubt that.
H1B workers can still switch employers, they’re not tied to the employer who originally sponsored them.

Putting the personality of the owner aside, they have been running an experiment for the last few months on how to operate a tech company, overworking your engineers and treating them like replaceable automata. Do you want them to succeed and set that as an example for others to follow?
Back in the old days, activitypub was my Rss feed reader. Discoverability was driven by good old fashioned cross linking, comment discussions, and skimmable feeds from aggregators like the one we're on.

People love to reinvent the wheel and claim it's a whole new thing. No ideas on the web have really been innovative since the bubble popped. The innovation has all been on delivery and execution (not wanting to discount any of that).
this is a marketing piece from a vendor of cloud services, if they have a comparative matrix, the matrix will support a decision of purchasing one or more of this vendor's services
No way can we slow down for a refactor, and all the original devs that wrote it have job hopped.

The most likely way to escape the current madness might be for a few companies with more enlightened management to actively look for people who have stayed in past roles for long enough to have real experience not just building but also maintaining software and pay them more. Same with loyalty incentives to retain existing staff. And then make sure those more experienced developers are choosing tools built to do a good job and not just tools built to make naive resume scanners happy.

If frequent job-hopping and leaving any junk you've just built to become someone else's problem stops being the fastest way to boost your career and compensation then good people and good employers will start to prioritise building stuff properly and looking after it for the long term and almost everyone will be better off.
Sometimes things move slowly for good reason. Wasted meeting minutes is a reasonable tradeoff over rendering the main product unusable like this.
SpaceX and Tesla had adults in the room. How much they steered Elon vs he steered them can be debated.

Twitter has no adults in the room. He can’t help but destroy it.
It's not a so bad argument but honestly a few high profile case could have a nice chilling effect on the thousands of scammers on amazon
Feedback is helpful, but this comment seems snide just because OPs comment wasn’t perfectly relevant to you. There’s no need for that, it’s relevant to others.

It seemingly needs to be rate-limited for not just registered users, but registered paying premium users as well. And the rate limits for them are enough to be passed in less than an hour of average idle use!

> if you think you’d do a better job than Elon with Twitter, you wouldnt.

Doing nothing and not saddling twitter with unnecessary extra debt would have already been doing better than Elon.
That sounds pretty exciting. Combined with programming skills, one could craft a whole array of tools for "superpowers."

I get the impression PMs have to make due with influence instead of authority, but as a dev I really appreciate how they are able to--nee must--distill back-to-back business meetings into actionable requirements and stories.

And, on top of that, to be "the voice of the customer" if there is not a Product Manager, under existing deadlines, sounds pretty daunting.
The same part of the bible that you seem to think gives gay people the right to force religious people to support their lifestyles.

Your rights end when other peoples rights begin.

You may not like it... but at the end of the day? Religion is a protected right - and for damn good reasons.

Here's the clue: I'm not telling gay people how to live their life. I'm saying they can't tell me to make stuff that endorses their lifestyle.

Before you presume to talk to me about religion... pull the stick out of your ass, the plank from your eye and stop acting like me not making you a cake or a website is telling you how to live your life.

Either you're being disingenuous or you're purposely lying to make a point that is wrong.

Again, since you seem to be slow: No one is saying you can't be gay - we aren't telling you how to live your life. Fuck who you want. How you want.

What they are saying is YOU can't force others to endorse your lifestyle.

Your right to be gay ends at someone else's right to think it's wrong - and it doesn't include your right to FORCE someone else to say what you want or create product with messages you want.

What part of your right to live how you want includes forcing others to support it? That's the difference between you and me... I don't give a shit what you do with your body... but you won't force me to support your decisions.

You need to realize that before you even attempt to talk to me about who Jesus was, what he represented or try to "school" me on who gets to throw the first stone... because you have no moral high ground on either topic.
I have no experience managing a company at that scale so I won't challenge the assertion that Elon is doing a better job than I would but... the feed has not been rate limited for unregistered users for the history of the site as far as I know, and its been pretty damn stable and snappy!

This has been a known problem for 10 years, but supply chains are hard, and oftentimes the alternative to buying from foreign companies is having a worse-performing product.
The way I do it is pretty dumb. We have files like src/test/_template.test.ts that are valid TS, that our codegen commands like `notion new test` regex-replace to “instantiate” the template. The convention we follow is to name replacement targets with double underscores. No need for some kind of specialized template library - just regex & replaceAll.

The scripts that consume our templates are mostly very simple ~15 line affairs but there are a few very complex, 1000+ line affairs that use the Typescript type checker API to codegen model classes and test data generators from hand-written interface types. Those things read ASTs but writing ASTs seems like a huge waste of time to me. AST is only nice if you need to very carefully morph existing code, and even then I usually end up doing a string replacement of an AST node’s position in its original file. In all that code I think the only thing that writes using an AST is import statement stuff.

Luckily that super complex stuff runs on every commit so it can’t break. It’s the one-off codegen commands like “make me a new component” or “make me an integration test” that are in danger of going stale, and even those we could write some CI tests for like “make a new thingy, check that it typechecks”.

Anyways here’s a full example template file:

It's called "deceptive business practices" because you're lying, in exchange for money, and pretending to endorse a product while not declaring you've been paid to do it - which is already prohibited.
I can see your perspective, up to the last bit. Elon is objectively incompetent.
A simple example: wordpress-like system.

Plugins in wordpress are installed from the web UI and that's all, these just work with the same performance as the whole application (terrible native performance, but that's a PHP problem).

In go to achieve that I would need to compile the plugins on the fly, as well as recompile the whole application, instead of delivering an executable file and a bunch of dynamic libraries.

In .NET this was further used in large applications to reduce boot time, by loading code when it was first needed (DLLs)
“Information… wants to be free.” says one of the administrators before taking a final drag on an unfiltered cigarette and flicking it off the deck.

There’s a distinct Russian accent in his voice, from his days living under the Soviet Union. After its collapse, he moved out west to what is now Belarus, and fought in underground cage matches for money. After a few years spent getting beaten and bloodied, he decided to start looking for new work when he learned about this thing called the World Wide Web from one of his former Soviet colleagues. From there he picked up skills writing programs and hacking into systems, taking random contract jobs through IRC for anonymous clients.

One day after a botched job involving millions of dollars stolen from some wealthy government officials, authorities were finally close to catching him.

Seeking help, an IRC user by the name of “Чудовище“ offered him an opportunity, to come aboard a special ship, the first of its kind, and live freely on board as a stateless citizen in international waters. There he would be able to continue developing his technical skills and contribute to a good cause: information freedom.

“In the old days, it was tough getting data on and off the ship. We had to exchange pallets of hard drives with other passing ships out on the ocean. But now…” he gestures back at the array of satellite dishes along the deck “…much easier, and anyone anywhere can connect to our network.”

“Whatever you look for, we have. Classified documents, private snuff videos, Epstein’s lists… and even FarCry source code!”
And thats just considering the reviews where they straight up admit they got the product free for a five star
> Probably, because it’s the minority of workers.

How small of a minority was it for Twitter after Elon fired a supermajority of the regular FTEs?
> and that he or his supporters took this to mean that the election should not be trusted

That's exactly what they should think. This is the system by which the power of the people is delegated to representatives. Why should they relinquish any power at all if there's any possibility the results were tampered with? They most certainly should not.

That's the standard of perfection the judge-king himself set when he said the system was "unquestionable". TSE needs to prove beyond shadow of doubt that it cannot be compromised. Anything short of that means the system cannot be trusted. So far I've seen nothing but censorship and persecution from the judge-kings. What are they so afraid of?
I guess "take down" is a lot different than replace. But like any good dictator Putin's minions are largely content to fight each other rather than unite. And no single stanchion of power can topple the others
Looks impressive and I like the vision. Will have to see how "invisible" it actually is, context is very difficult to do with current technology in a wearable. Privacy will matter also.
I've been working on porting golang's net/http and gorilla/websocket libs to Racket for the past few months (I don't like the servelet model.) Does anyone have insight into how that model might not be optimal in a Scheme enviroment or how to better optimize it?
Meh, I only had a masters (like any European new grad), and arguably I was more qualified for my position than most STEM PHDs. Not to mention if we start requiring PHDs, the master mills will just become PHD mills.

If a legit tech company or a startup wants to hire someone, they should be able to (and that should convert directly to a green-card). We just need to stop the infosys of the world.

The "apply for multiple companies" fraud is extremely unsophisticated though, we can probably fix that easily.
Far Cry 3 and subsequent games were pop fun with little replayability. FC2 was a game I've lived in, with a printout of the map, marked up for patrols, so I could navigate safely from A to B for each mission.

Better? I'd rather say less challenging, more accessible, but also far less rewarding. More successful, no doubt. But the only sequel I spent a lot of time in was Blood Dragon.
>Ok but who is selling that worldview, and how does our behavior change when we stop buying into it?

That's a complex question and I probably don't have the perfect answer. If I were to take a stab at it I would say the top causes are consumerism, politics, and trained helplessness are at the top of the list.

As for who's selling it; basiclly everyone is. Individuals and companies want you to think that whatever they are selling will make you happy. Politicians want you to think you need them to do good in the world. Your neighbors want you to be impressed with their good values and status.

In my experience and opinion, once people escape, the behavior changes in that they start actually doing things that make them happy, opposed to things that they are told should make them happy. This can take an infinite number of forms. It might mean going out and helping your neighbors instead of watching political news. It might be going for a walk instead of watching Netflix. It might mean reading a book instead of browsing twitter.
