The only time I hear about a mainstream language being immutable by default is from Rust people telling me that Rust is a mainstream language now.

A Haskell program covered in piles of monads to abstract all state away still follows the functional core imperative shell pattern, because the runtime is the imperative shell. This doesn't make such a thing desirable for other languages.

The practical lesson I learned from dabbling with functional programming in academia is that functional programming is often impractical and does not offer any of the purported benefits of better code.

I’m fine with having multiple Twitter replacements coexisting with healthy critical-mass user bases.
I assume they're hoping that people will start paying $8 for that stupid blue check.

Never gonna happen.
This kind of stuff is unavoidable with what's going on at Twitter. Infrastructure changes, platform changes and mass layoffs all at once. I'm actually impressed they haven't experienced more and longer outages.
I'm hoping for a return of smaller communities and forums that were (more) common before facebook and reddit.
a lot of smart people fell for Elizabeth Holmes charm and put their money on Theranos

for the purpose of this thread saying “Elon is fundamentally a dumb guy” is a statement of opinion, one that a growing number of people agree with
Agree. this guy know your phone number. maybe he decides to find where you are and murder you? do not play with criminal.

This question is answered in the first reply under the post in question.
> I have met others who only stand and look at you blankly, who have lost their desire, even their self-respect. They have lost, shall we say, the structure through which their mind force previously flowed, and it has not been replaced.

> What happens to a Hindu yogi when he enters a superconscious state of bliss in which his mind opens up, turns to light, and he sees the world revolving below the state of his suspended consciousness? He has arrived at this state through many years of practice in concentration, meditation and contemplation, many years of building strong nerve fiber. But in a momentary high on LSD or any other powerful psychedelic, such as mushrooms, peyote, ecstasy or DMT, the nerve structure is strained, in a sense which we can best describe as abnormal, to allow the individual to reach this exalted consciousness. Coming out of it, the result is often a kind of shock in which the person has a great difficulty in readjusting to any kind of normal routine. [1]

Absolutely! Change isn't all bad, it's just that it happens. Ideally as a couple you'll grow together over the years instead of apart.
Her job is to handle the humans.

Most people cannot take radical ideas and don't understand that Elon Musk does not need to care and foes not care if he fails with Twitter after first trying to construct something with a social impact.

Elon Musk can fuck up every company he has and (as long as he doesn't get sued by angry investors) he will still be able to live a great, amazing life.

Edit: I get down votes but no replies. If you disagree, it would be beneficial to write why.
Yeah, what I need is a Reddit replacement
FP is not stateless, is state-aware. You need to declare what functions handle state, just like in Java you need to declare which functions handle exceptions.
Well, navigation also shows you traffic information which is useful to choose the best path and to know at what time you will arrive.
The third type is where you just got lucky. For example a one hit wonder musician or writer. Your baseline abilities aren’t that good but you hit the high side of variance.
Looking/listening to the youtube version, I think I hear a 60hz hum as the "ball" dissipates. If so, I wonder if it's possible to do that "grid frequency fingerprinting" thingy. There's some sort of metal structure on the ground near the "ball", wondering if that's electrical equipment
I think they won't as certain parts might have migrated to new engines without being changed much. Like geometry engine etc.

There is a variant called ATAS (air-to-air stinger) that can be fired from helicopters.
finding out about these aspects of how our society currently runs like he mentioned in the article has deeply informed my political views. Every Electronic payments should not be something a corporation gets to profit off of by ~2% every time there is an exchange. That's basically a sales tax but some already crazy rich person gets it and for what?

Honestly I didn't think it was well put at all. A vast number of words for very little content, and what content can be distilled is useful to approximately nobody. I've never known a person who needed this advice.

If you're exceptional in some niche you don't need the advice (if it can be called that). If you aren't, you can be your best and thrive if you are motivated, in which case this is similarly unhelpful. In the final case, if you aren't intrinsically motivated to do 'great work' then you won't.
It’s only come to be a pejorative in recent times. Originally it was the only definition. This goes back at least as far as Aristotle’s political theory in which he categorized systems by the number of rulers (one, few, or many) and whether or not the rulers were “correct” (working toward the greater good) or “deviant” (working toward selfish aims). Aristotle did not recognize rule by “none” or “all” within his schema.

As for the modern pejorative connotation, it’s grounded in a critique: how do anarchist societies cope with motivated and determined rule-breakers without devolving into chaos?
I think this is a pretty naïve viewpoint - just look at what the mods of e.g. /r/iama announced today.

On social network websites, the vast majority of people are only lurkers, a relatively few people commenting, even fewer people posting, and fewer people still who want to put in the effort to build up a community.

Reddit's soul sits in those handcrafted small communities, the big ones sure will stay around and be popular, but there's lots of other places where one can get 5 second cat videos, and memes.

This event eroded a lot of the remaining trust between moderators and the admins, and while that can feel like it's not relevant to normal users, over time this will cause fewer people to be interested in starting a community on Reddit.
Thanks for taking your time to answer my suggestion in detail.
I was just trying to suggest something very simple - just don't include the files that you don't have the rights to - so in your case just don't publish those font and physics library files. No need to completely rip out all references to it.

The resulting code will be broken, but if the community cares enough, they can fix it up.

I don't think this would be a huge effort to do - do you see any issues (legal or otherwise) with this approach?
> Isn't that most large capital intensive efforts?

No.

For example in university i was part of a satellite design competition. We couldn’t let Chinese nationals on the team or we’d be breaking the law. There was a list of approved countries a team member could have citizenship from, if not we’d be guilty of violating export controls.
I empathise. My parents and I did that once.

As always in this blog, the article is well researched and it includes a lot of interesting information.

Nevertheless, there is an important point about 80960 that is not discussed at all. There still exists a legacy of 80960 that is incorporated in all modern Intel and AMD CPUs, which consists of the XADD (normally LOCK XADD) instruction.

Before 1980, the instruction sets of the CPUs included 3 kinds of atomic read-modify-write instructions (I mean dedicated atomic instructions, not just locked variants of some standard instruction with a memory operand): test-and-set (introduced by UNIVAC 1108 in 1965; e.g. Motorola MC68000 had TAS), swap (introduced by Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1971-10; e.g. Intel 8086 had it under the mnemonic LOCK XCHG) or compare-and-swap (both compare-and-swap and compare-double-and-swap were added to IBM System/370 in 1973; Motorola MC68020 added similar instructions in 1984).

The next innovation in atomic instructions happened in 1981, when Allan Gottlieb and Clyde P. Kruskal proposed the fetch-and-add operation for the NYU Ultracomputer project.

For the next few years, the fetch-and-add operation remained available just in that academic project, but then somebody decided to implement it in 80960.

Fetch-and-add was first documented publicly by Intel in early 1988, in the BiiN description, under the mnemonic ATADD (atomic add). The ATADD instruction was also supported by 80960MC and 80960KB, which were launched later in 1988.

One year later after 80960, on 1989-04-10, Intel launched the 80486 CPU, whose most important ISA enhancements over 80386 were extra atomic instructions, i.e. fetch-and-add from 80960 (LOCK XADD) and compare-and-swap from IBM and Motorola (LOCK CMPXCHG).

Since 80486, all Intel and AMD CPUs include the fetch-and-add instruction inherited from 80960 (whose origin was in the NYU Ultracomputer).
They're getting slammed hard, but I recommend creating an account on either http://lemmy.world or http://kbin.social. (Personally I prefer Lemmy due to it being closer to Reddit in design.)

They both run OSS Reddit clones and appear to be gaining the most traction. As a bonus, they're also interoperable with each other, and any other server that installs the software.
The problem is this will reduce impressions by unique users as well. Once a user hits the daily tweet limit (easy to do if you scroll and view a few viral threads), they can't view any more ads for the day. A few viral or high engagement threads could significantly reduce your audience for 24 hours.

Additionally, if Twitter CTR is low, then you need a _lot_ of unique users to actually generate conversions. Low CTR + Low impressions reduces the value of the ad.
I am personally trying to achieve that.

Liquid chocolate, the kind we drink as a hot beverage in Central and South America, was difficult for me to get used to without any sweet taste.
Nowadays I prefer it that way.
Coffee is a bit more difficult for me.
Or greed.
Did they start fighting scrapers, too? I cannot see the contents of the link it asks me to log in.
Uber and doordash yes, they operate a physical business with large costs per customer transaction. Twitter and reddit? No, I disagree. Those businesses should be relatively cheap to host (compared to ad revenue) with focused management and engineering. The only thing about them that could cost a lot is moderation, and twitter should have followed reddit’s lead to leave that to a volunteer brigade. If twitter and reddit lost money, it is because they were not being run efficiently, and they weren’t being run efficiently because the way to show investors they were creating value is launching a bunch of hyped but mostly pointless features and by having a high burn rate.

New reddit launched 5 years ago, and many people still prefer using old reddit. Twitter also did not add any feature in the past 5 years the majority of its users cared about losing. If most of your users are fine with giving up everything you’ve built in the past 5 years, and you have a large staff of engineers, then you’ve not been running the business effectively.
What's funny is that while Twitter wants you to log in and goes at great length to prevent you from reading anything when not logged in, the situation is exactly the other way round with Bluesky.

They limit who can sign in, but openly publish all data via their API.

So one could use an AT protocol client to read, or a web based client like this one:

> If you want to learn about Sparta, it's pretty easy to find

Oh god. Why Sparta? Why this particular historiographical can of worms, where the history of the history is far more convoluted than the history of Lacedaemon itself?

No. Someone without a pretty solid knowledge of Ancient Greek history and historiography and the skills to be able to track the changes in the research literature is going to have a damn hard time finding the best book on Sparta.
100% agree! I use whatever tool in the C toolbox results in the easiest-to-(read|grok) code, which means tons of anonymous union/struct “abuse”, bit fields, function pointer typedefs, strictly adhering to “Cutler Normal Form”.
> Where do you all get your info lately? How do you stay informed? I really don't know how to get a wide swath of information anymore with Twitter and Reddit gone

News sites reddit and twitter source stuff from... Or pick your favorite aggregator.

Sometimes Discord/Matrix and blogs are good for really niche topics.
Completely agree, show me the data and I'll tell you if your solution matches the problem you are trying to solve.

So much impedance is unclear thinking and overly complex solutions, it usually combines with inconsistent naming schemes across the stack.

It's easier to gatekeep if you're the only who knows a "game" equals a "contestQuest" because you've created some overloaded polymorphic "quest" system in your backend.
>As part of the sandbox, we will be doing routine wipes of all network data.

Sounds pretty centralised if they can just wipe all data like that?
There used to be tools for this but they went by the wayside with the Twitter api changes.
What Happened in Marketing Today
1/ Twitter & Elon Musk have gone rogue as Elon musk introduces new limits to Twitter.

Unverified accounts can read only 600 posts a day & Verified ones 6,000. And new unverified ones with 300 posts limit.

2/ Google Universal Analytics says goodbye to all the marketers.

+ new update: New GA4 users will not have access to some attribution models.

3/ Attest & Modernretail’s research shows since the TikTok US ban issues. Instead of consumption decrease, 32% increase was seen.

4/ WPP partners with Contentful, A growing Marketing CRM & Data platform.

5/ Pinterest is going deep with targeting, As the platform is building a patent to find audience interest through email data of user.

6/ Google Introduces Search Page Checkout option for businesses. No need to visit the website!

7/ New Reddit API Policies are also live now!

8/ Budlight reintroduces the BudKnight. And disapproves allegations of firing top Marketing Executives.

9/ New Endorsement FTC policies for Influencers need to have more clear paid partnership policies for Influencer content.

+ it is manadtory for Non-EU Bloggers & Influencers with US viewers.

10 / Link from your website or blog to Twitter, now requires sign-In first. No chances of users viewing the content simply.

11/ Huge Fitness Influencer Joe Aesthetics Dead at age of 30. (Not marketing, but RIP)

12/ Adobe & Walmart are the highest paying brands amoong Influencer marketing brands.

Twitter bug causes self-DDoS, related to Musk’s emergency blocks, rate limits
Isn't that obvious though? What else would count as a read?
Between Musk and u/spez, I recovered at least 2 hours a day of normally wasted time.

I've read books, like actual paper ones. Spent some time making a simply 2-d space shooter, just for fun. Spent more time engaged with people I care about. Turns out social media is the least social thing ever and basically sucks.
Does HN really think this? 99% of people will have neutral to negative impact on the world 10 yrs post mortem. None of us are the target audience is this article
What a weird thing to gatekeep.

What you have mentioned are called classic psychadelics .

Something being a psychadelic has nothing to do with it's pathways.

Let's take a look at the definition .

Psychedelics are a subclass of hallucinogenic drugs whose primary effect is to trigger non-ordinary mental states (known as psychedelic experiences or psychedelic "trips") and/or an apparent expansion of consciousness

This fits ketamine perfectly, I have tried many substances and ketamine is one of the most powerful substances I have tried .
It's not a statement of opinion, it's a bitter resentful raving.
Oh, the idea of supply chains, and supply chain management make aboslute sense. Traditionally, logistics, and as an out grow of that supply chains, started with the military.

In the case of military goods, especially of the more expendable type like all kinds of ammunitions but also complex systems like tank or fighter jets, it is even harder since there is, in piece time at least, no continious demand. That means as soon as the large initial production runs are delivered, production capacity sits there unused. And gets ultimately dismanteled, technology becomes obsolete, people change jobs and retire.

All that is left at some point is maintenance capabilities, which only gets you that far in terms of building new gear, and low level production to replenish stores or conduct retrofits. Increasing that lost capacity is expensive and time consuming.

Generally, a supply chain is everything that has a supplier and a customer and moves physical goods. And the general, underlying principles haven't really changed since the days of the first silk road, or heck, since as early as the bronze age.
If it doesn't make any sense, what's your analysis? At least they tried to come up with some technical explanation and incite my curiosity, rather than dismiss it outright.
Cannot see anything. Do I need to login?
See, I prefer panic. People don't pay enough attention to systems as it is. May just yeet together a bunch of parts and never bother to learn to actually troubleshoot or maintain, or reason through things.
Monads are just one design pattern for handling state, and not the only way. It's no different than having an OOP using dependency injection everywhere - it's a design decision that you use only when it makes architectural sense.

A shell is not more imperative than a processor - both are Turing machines, a completely functional mathematical object. Seeing them as imperative is a semantic interpretation of the people watching it, not an inherent property.
> So exception handling: if you invest a lot of effort into something make sure you get to reap some rewards even if you're one of the 99 guys that doesn't get to pick the strawberries.

How does this work in the world of business where 99% fail

Should I not even try?
We did have our code mostly sorted into 3p and 1p... However I'm not a lawyer and not sure how the taint might leak up. I forget where Google/oracle landed on apis being copyright but havock ids and other concepts leak into your code everywhere. Heck even proprietary details might or algos. It would still be hard and the lawyers would be skeptical. You'd need a business case besides goodwill to get over those humps.

I bet a ton of companies don't follow those best practices. And there's also the fact that you've now exposed yourself to litigation where some dev violated copyright of previous companies or libraries or whatever and put it in the wrong place or copied it. Before open sourcing you were fine. After you have essentially incriminated yourself.

The doom/quake case is kinda an exception. In that you likely (I'm guessing) had Carmack who is a founder/owner, deeply understand the tech base, understands cost and estimates, likely understands licensing quite well, able to go do the work, but also able to make the cost benefit tradeoff and override objections in some cases. That's not common in many companies.
Anyone handing out Bluesky invite codes?
I haven't dug into the details of either protocol at all, but I hope they find a way to interoperate with ActivityPub. In the longer term we really don't want two completely isolated networks doing the same thing.
> you are bound by terms of the NDA

> This is not true.

You usually have to follow contracts you sign.
US resident here. Policing in the US does vary by municipality, which is part of the problem.

Regardless, policing in the US is broken. I live in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation and our police still kill people with disturbing frequency.
In the olden days before IPv6, geoip of IPv4 used to work and there was traceroute-like utility on Windows that could plot IPs on maps called NeoTrace Pro. IIRC, it also included something of a ping map where it would reping every middlebox. Nowadays, not all middleboxes respond and there is often too much carrier overlaying and SDN flow management for IPs to map to any specific physical location like it were a land phone line when every little company bought a Class C and put their business phone number in the ARIN database.
So if Coca Cola marshalls tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of dollars, bombarding you with advertising and marketing and subtle messages on all channels all day, messages crafted by smart people who spend their whole lives studying human weaknesses and how to exploit them, messages which normalise drinking sugar water at mealtimes, as a reward, at special occasions, as a treat, at sports events, while driving, with take-out, at home, at work…

All you have to do is chant “personal responsibility” and then there’s no imbalance and no unfairness and it’s all alright and everything’s perfect and it must be the victim’s fault for not being John Galt and immune to advertising like you think you are (but aren’t really because nobody is)
I think bluesky posts have always been private, at least while they are in invite-only mode. Here's what the linked skeet says:

> Our systems are currently experiencing some degraded performance as a result of record-high traffic. You may notice some slowness in-app as a result. Our team is working to resolve this issue.

> You can view our system performance status here: status.bsky.app
Exactly.

My cousin tried to become a twitch streamer. He is an incredible gamer and did some competitive gaming in shooter tournaments back in the day. He's also very funny and charismatic.

He became interested in hacking minecraft pushed some of the boundaries of what you could do in the modding/hacking scene.

Despite his efforts, things never really took off and ended up heading off to college like the rest of us.
Some people will stick to their priors through thick and thin. I've learned to just enjoy watching the blue check mark crowd contort to whatever is the new thing they agree with Elon about and then vehemently back it up with other reasons too. Pretty sure a lot of the Twitter accounts that are famous because he interacts with them started out as liberals who liked EVs and are now tweeting about how they're worried about too few white babies
That's all employees, not just engineers.

Is this projection?
I wouldn't say YT shorts is a good example of a well executed product. They all seem shit.

You don't need to use a bot to do this, Twitter literally did this to themselves through their own buggy code https://sfba.social/@sysop408/110639474671754723
