I did the same by the time Jessie was released. I realised the XFCE version was good enough, and I could use a few tools from the vendor binaries plus a couple of things I could compile.

Sort of related, I suffered a tib-fib fracture in April 2006. It was splinted at E.R. and I received crutches. I visited PCP to follow up and he questioned whether it was displaced. At the time, I did not think much of his theory and said no more about it. When I finally got to an orthopedic clinic, they put a whole-leg cast on, with significant struggle, and the first thing I noticed was that my foot was sticking out at a very noticeable angle. I am fairly confident that this is the displacement my PCP mentioned.

9 months later I had been through several casts and an utter quack treatment of "electronic pulse bone stimulator" just to squeeze as much insurance money as possible out of Medicaid. My surgeon announced an atrophic non-union and said that surgical fixation was the only way forward, which I accepted and everything turned out fine.

Of course nobody will listen or talk about the displacement which caused the non-union in the first place, because that would be tantamount to orthopedic malpractice, and I am still embittered when I think back on what could have been different, but at least it had no lasting detrimental effect on my mobility.
The DoD also performs public services that ostensibly protect her life and liberty at some level, and doubtless she doesn't disagree with those functions. The amount one benefits from an entity one disagrees with can be variable, and debatable.

Do you really need a cloud, or can you migrate to one or more dedicated servers which - unless your project is small enough to fit on one of those $5 servers that only exists in clouds - are probably much cheaper than you think?
"electric cars for everyone" was the vision of the founders of Tesla, prior to Musk functionally stealing the company from them.

"humans on mars" is just repeating standard sci-fi tropes that have been around for 50+ years, while not actually solving any problem.

"tunnels everywhere" makes sense for public transit, and literally any other case it's just extremely expensive roads - making it a vacuum just makes it expensive and also impractical.

"direct mind machine interface" I dunno, it's just another sci-fi trope since basically the moment electrical computers, it has actual value for many injuries, _maybe_ it has value beyond that, but again he's not coming up with anything novel or new.

Musk isn't some amazing genius, or revelatory thinker. His "let's populate mars" to solve "over population" surely indicates the opposite.
Your comment seems to be conflating concurrency with parallelism.

JS doesn't have any language-level abstractions for parallelism (async or not) but you do have Web Workers[0] and process forking (depending on runtime) to get actual parallel programming. JS async deals with concurrency, not parallelism.

Threads are the opposite: They are interfaces for parallel programming and their use is orthogonal to how your application handles the resulting concurrency.

You say "the runtime/kernel take care of concurrency" - are you telling me you never write a mutex or implement locking logic? Because that's what "taking care of concurrency" is. I'd choose refactoring callback-/Promise-hell over debugging a complex deadlock any day (unless intra-process parallelism is actually a requirement, which may tip the scale in the other direction).

In the context of doing concurrency and parallelism in Rust, I'd 100% agree that the JS/C#-style async/await approach isn't necessarily always the best approach and it's good to consider alternative idioms if your requirements call for it. For anyone writing "apps" or glue-libraries, though, I'm thankful that they stay away from spawning threads all over my system by default and that they need more tools than "learn Rust async in 15 minutes" gives them to become dangerous.

Messing up your single-threaded event-loop concurrency can hog roughly a single CPU core and cause OoM. Messing up thread-based concurrency can have larger implications on the hosting system.

Ask HN: What packages can be used to create interactive mathematics simulations?
I would like to explore the different libraries which can create mathematics simulations that are renderable on a webpage. Though I have used geogebra in the past, I would like to know what other options are available to create interactive simulations in basic algebra and geometry. I have seen Cinderella and Dr. Geo but would like to explore more options which can be customised.

So I'm assuming this is because he thinks the data is so valuable for LLM training he doesn't want anyone getting it for free. Does he really think there will be that much demand for it that it outweighs the fundamental purpose of Twitter?
It's really, really not. Fuck you has a huge range of meaning. Carlin built several comedy bits around the word Fuck specifically because it was used colloquially so many ways.
We see how well "including people into using your software" works out for pushover licenses almost every week now, FreeBSD itself being the prime example, having lost three major companies one after another from its list of users, sponsors, and developers a couple of years ago. Not that there were many to begin with. What Linus and the gang are doing have been working out great over the long term (much better than any competition, at least).
You're not even wrong, but the problem is that when you post on Twitter, any and all context and nuance is immediately lost and all that's left is a string of ASCII spelling out "fuck you".
Are AMD cards any use for compute tasks such as machine learning though? I would like to build a gaming PC that I can use for stuff like that as well and I feel like there is no real alternative to CUDA at the moment

Which hosting provider do you currently use for your web application?
Which hosting provider do you currently use for your web application?

It all depends on the level of performance you need and the geographic location of your users.

It also depends on the type of architecture your application is built upon (containerized application ? Lambda function ?)

Finally, you should choose based on the traffic requirement and budget you have (some hosting providers will become quite expensive when you start having a LOT of traffic).

Overall, I always avoid cheap hosting solutions (mostly because I know this equates to the worst kind of equipments and the most resource pooling ever possible).

When you spent weeks/months building a product, it's a very bad idea to lowball your hosting and get the show stopped for a few bucks saved every months ;-)

If you have no clear idea of what you need and want a generic fits-all type of solution look at the regulars (GCP, AWS, Azure). Among these three, GCP tends to have the best price/quality ratio.
Yes, the implication here is that having to give up something that is comparatively very valuable to you (your livelihood) while the consequences to the company of plucking it away from you are tiny (a line item on a budget somewhere) in order to exercise your freedom is a flaw of capitalism.

I was a supporter of what Elon was trying to do. I am against big tech censorship and felt that moving to a subscription model where they didn’t need to appease advertisers was a good step. I subscribed to support the model even though I barely use Twitter.

I also think the staff cuts were the right call in principle. I believe that tech products are better when you have a small team of really good people and get out of their way.

This paywall could be the thing that brings them down though. There must be millions of people per day being trained not to click on Twitter links. I myself have done this a few times on different devices and incognito windows and I’m a paying subscriber. They will also slowly be evicted from Google SERPs.

Engagement on the platform for creators was already terrible, and this must accelerate people looking at other platforms.

To do a paywall or forced login to reduce spam/bots/scraping is throwing the baby out with the bathwater unless it’s an existential risk.
Tumblr was forced to remove NSFW content or risk getting kicked out of the iOS app store, iirc. Twitter's putting the gun to their own head for no damn reason at all.
ex-post an extraordinary event a lot of people are wise and can "rationalise" how it did happen.

the question is whether one can rationalize what can happen before it does.

that requires understanding in depth what the system is and how it might behave in extremes

I agree she's obnoxious (as is anyone tweeting too much), and tweeting that is kind of rude, but would she get more positive reviews here if she were a Tencent/Yandex employee and had tweeted the equivalent of FU at a presentation of a Chinese/Russian military tech representative?

I took external to mean someone not involved in the conflict. If they actually were external to the company, that's insane and definitely cemented them being fired. Maybe even before the second round of live-tweeting.
it's because do you remember several years back when the popular meme was "I wish I could just pay some money every month to avoid ads" and then youtube actually did it?
Shame about their financial package but it feels like the system mostly works. People should be free to be their whole selves at work and in public and they shouldn’t want to work anywhere that fires them for that. Obviously many people don’t have the privilege to live that way, and more’s the pity.
> Do you realize you are all reinforcing that business must come always first before personal expression?

But it must. If an employer at Starbucks signs off every order with “Heil Hitler,” we should expect them to be fired. Companies don’t have to afford employees free speech when they are on company time.

"banned all of its users from using it."

And I still see Twitter users on the platform still using it?
So it is written in C or C++?

Apparently Go isn't good enough to write an IDE, even that it lags behind Java.
And of course Digg, Tumblr and onlyfans. That's just from the last few years, and just from the USA batch. I can think of several more local ones that you've never heard of. The graveyard of social networks that went under due to poor product decisions is huuuuuuge.
Sure, but in America, anybody can sue anybody for anything. Your lawyers are of course right that having a clause in a software license disclaiming all liability for its use could be helpful in your defense -- but it's not an ironclad guarantee that you will not be sued or even found liable for your contributions in the event that it causes some kind of catastrophe. If this is a major concern for you, you should probably avoid contributing to FOSS altogether.

However, if you don't own the software and don't distribute the software and don't have any other kind of relationship with the users of the software, it's likely going to require the plaintiff to demonstrate particularly egregious conduct on your part in order for a court to find that you have some liability for damages arising from the use of the software. But YMMV.
Amazingly unmeaningfull.
It is also unclear to me what role the author played at VMWare. Random, faceless dev, or an external relations role with a much tighter association to the company.

I will say he’s a genius at one thing; raising funds. How on earth he convinced people to invest in this I’ll never know.
Set smaller goals. You learn more from finishing. Pick something you can almost do, cut it to one feature, and commit to it. Learn only enough to finish that one feature.

Copy from somewhere else something that is close to what you want and modify it.

You can do it. Start embarrassingly small and stack tiny successes on each other to the moon
This sounds exactly like the person who first does something stupid, then instead of accepting their mistake doubles down on it and takes several steps to make it much much worse, and then when has to face the consequences blogs about it with a straight face while trying to get public sympathy.

Is there a word for this kind of behavior?

For what it’s worth, IMHO, VMWare comes across as extremely mature.
If the company sends you to the event, it’s fair to say that you’re there “representing” them. If you’re there on your own dime, that may be different.

I’m on the fence on this one. The tweets were in poor judgment. Especially tagging the speaker. That’s needlessly antagonistic.

But, if this person were on my team I’d have tried to protect their job - though I probably wouldn’t be sending them to any shows in the future on the company dime.

There’s probably a lot of additional context that isn’t available in this post that might sway me one way or the other. The fact they were brought in via acquisition matters, IMO.
Meta: what blog software do people use nowadays? Pros/cons?
indeed! and kids remember: VMware likes to work with merchants of death.
For me, as someone not an American, this level of polarisation and abrasivity is almost unimaginable for me. Like, intentionally provoking people then painting them as dicks when they get enough of it.

Like, this wasn't even about tweeting political opinions and then being fired for it (which is way less black-and-white than this and I could absolutely have sympathy if that happened), this was straight-up telling "fuck you" to someone when representing the employer at a personal event.
Many debts are collateralized, and many are not. Pointing at some common collateralized debts doesn't really have bearing on the argument.

I agree that the government shouldn't be loaning money for college, but I also don't think the government should be loaning money for housing, nor loaning money to banks at ridiculously low rates to bid up the everything bubble - listed in increasing order of importance.

But OP asked what we can concretely do right now, to address the problem that has already been created. Stopping student loans cold turkey isn't going to make colleges magically downsize their bloated layers of administrators and lower their tuition - it's just raging at what has already occurred. Just like how raising interest rates a little bit didn't unroll the screwed up housing market, but rather just caused it to lock up and remain in the inflated state. So the first stab at a practical middle of the road approach is to end the poorly thought out legislative subsidy of non-dischargeability, and start letting the already-created financial situations be resolved through the standard processes. Bonus points if some of the money can be clawed back from the colleges that received it, but the basic dynamic has to be defined before that can happen.

From the individual perspective, going through bankruptcy isn't instantaneous and has effects that last a significant amount of time for someone who just graduated from college. Courts do look at things like ability to generate income. The option is only going to be practical for those with little hope of actually benefiting from their degree.
I wouldn't call this being "cancelled". IMO, getting fired can only mean being cancelled if it was for something not work related.
In Hetzner world that is $10 even if you are paying for it which you probably aren't.
I'm assuming the "fuck you" was the one that fired her. However you choose to understand free speech, being needlessly rude as a media representative of a company should get you fired.

A, especially, is atrocious and caused multiple small companies I know to ditch GA entirely. They had years of GA data that is impossible to export without BigQuery shenanigans.

It is impossible to believe a team as well-funded as Analytics could/would not find a way to automatically migrate gtag.js to GA4. They should have made the upgrade transparent by simply converting requests behind the scenes so legacy analytics properties could exist perpetually, while forcing new property registrations to use GA4.

When working on a project, context is everything. I feel like it'll only really make a difference once it's able to read the thousands of files in my project's folder.

Hilariously enough, here's some blog thought leader who's telling founders to do so as an exercise while writing up their pitch decks:

A New Yorker using the expression is just frankly a different reading than a Washington DC type.
It's similar to how you would describe a problem to a coworker on Slack. I give it some context, then I state the problem or paste in the error message/stacktrace. I might also list steps that I've taken already. Then I follow ChatGPT's suggestions to troubleshoot. Sometimes I need to supplement with my own ideas, but usually that's enough to iteratively bisect the issue.
