Didn't need to make a new account for that, could have just emailed me directly :)

Anyway (also for the record) I am out for the moment, but I'll note down people's email addresses for the next time we get a round of invites made available. So far it has been every two weeks or so. (So if you want, you can remove the email addr from the profile again. Btw I never got spam on a rot13, base64, or other trivially encoded email address, in case anti-spam would be what you're hiding it for.)

Note that one can also email the owner at invites@tildes.net as per https://docs.tildes.net/contact
Ask HN: Which companies are using playwright/test?
I am writing an article about the growing adoption of `@playwright/test`. I managed to create a decent list of companies that have adopted Playwright by checking the number of mentions in job posts. Now I would like to collect more data from people with first hand exposure.

If your company is using `@playwright/test`, can you drop the name below?
You can't even see your own tweets while rate limited, so if I tweet something it goes live but I have no way of deleting it if I made a typo or for example shared sensitive information by mistake; I have a feeling this might be a GDPR violation or similar?
It definitely depends on where you live. If you work in Seattle, you could save a few bucks on rent by living on a boat in Tacoma.

I doubt you'd save any money living on a boat in LA or Miami.
There absolutely is both for tax purposes as well as for legal religious exemptions.

You can't just arbitrarily call your house a church to avoid paying property taxes. Government authorities have to make decisions all the time over what they deem to be a legitimate religious organization.

You obviously don't need a license or authorization to engage in otherwise legal religious practice, but as soon as you want legal exemptions, the government most certainly has a say. And the ritual consumption of otherwise illegal drugs couldn't be a more perfect example.
I like the idea of Mastadon, but it reminds me a bit of the early internet days, mostly ‘95-‘05 (which is when I feel things began their subtle shift to monolithic services).

And at those times, compare to now, there were hurdles to finding communities (discoverability) and having them interlinked in a “whole is greater than sum of parts” fashion.

I think Mastadon actually addresses a little bit of that, but also the discoverability especially is going to be difficult with the major search engines having vested interests that don’t align with surfacing results from less centralized platforms.

For example I have never once had a search return anything in the first few pages that links to a Mastadon instance, and can’t even remember that last time I had a useful result from of conversations from a traditional style forum, but I know they still exist because I can find them if I explicitly search for that sort of thing

Serverless always seemed to me like a stupid name. Of course there's a server. It's just not your server.
It's a shitty monoculture mostly filled with a particular demographic (like most new and obscure tech things), the people who program computers, and the people who they meet at parties.

This would disappear with more widespread usage. The problem is the software, not the culture. If the software is improved, or the dead ends are pruned and something else is created that learns the lessons from previous tries, the new cultures will bury the old.

If building software required experts on model trains or K-pop, the culture would suck, too. The goal is to make that a stage rather than an endpoint.

edit: I enjoy model trains, but I do not get into political or social discussions with model train guys.
Totally agree with you. It was only a startup in the sense that it was still struggling to find profitability / solid market fit.

As opposed to something like Amazon which grew and grew for nearly 20 years, always burning more cash than it made to fuel growth, but they understood the business really well and when they decided to optimize for profitability rather than growth, never never gone back.
I wouldn't have believed it but we're seeing it happen in real time haha. How twitter has fallen from the glory days
Basecamp (DHH) not Bandcamp (Derek Sivers)
I once got paid $20 as an undergrad to go through hundreds of thousands of tweets and convert slang into plain english for training data. The only thing I took away from the experience, aside from finally getting good with vim macros, is the average tweet is really low effort an uninteresting. I don't recall reading a single thing that I would imagine someone retweeting (think that's what it's called). Maybe I was given only replies. Anyway, not sure if there's value there for LLMs, but I'd be skeptical.
Part of me is loving this effective dismantling of Twitter and Reddit.

Not because I’m addicted to them but because the barrier to access them is sufficiently high that I virtually never access them and for Twitter especially (my Reddit/Apollo just shut off yesterday) it’s decreasingly occupying space in my mind, creating more “boredom” which is super useful for imagination and introspection.
Even if Facebook starts using ActivityPub in one of their products the protocol will still be just a protocol. And if FB's product goes to shit it won't affect ActivityPub.
Probably a good thing. People should use less social media.
clang does not support specific-register variables for registers which are allocatable by its register allocator (https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#gcc-extensions-...) so this is gcc-only. If you care about portability between gcc and clang you'll need some other approach...

"Systemic" is a term made up to abdicate responsibility and/or create a bogeyman. It's more comfortable to blame "them" then yourself, either for why you can't succeed or for a societal problem.
I see a giant circle around like 10 sentences, none of which feel like the sum up twitter in any way? After some consideration I guess maybe you're referring to "What's happening?"
None of those are really taboo to discuss: police funding has only increased in recent years, Joe Biden has been quietly upgrading security on the southern border since the start of his term, and the supreme court recently ruled against affirmative action.
This is actually helpful. So, he’s saying, religions really exist for this social function of group formation/identity. Thus, we know that the principles they proclaim, which tend to be universal claims of truth, are wrong, since if those principles were true, they would defeat the real purpose of religion. Therefore, one good way to find ideas to explore is to question the principles or bracket them and see what you can do without them.

That does make what he’s saying there cohere better. Of course, what he’s saying turns entirely on the ambiguity he’s playing on (which I suspected): religion in the sense of concrete historical/social human practices and religion in the sense of identifying strongly with and thus not questioning your principles. Never a good idea to hang your hat on the coatrack of suggestive language games. Or, you know, outrageous bullshit.

I almost think it makes it worse, finding a coherent meaning—-which is so silly.
You're probably not going to walk into a 450k/yr job through networking and connections - just saying. Those will require a traditional interview process, I can almost guarantee it.

Deosn't such an unnamed variable get's immediately destructed, right at the comma? I am pretty certain I'd hit exactly that problem and had to switch to __LINE__-macro to name such scoped locks.
I definitely agree. I do think the major issue at Twitter is more managerial than engineering though. They likely could have run Twitter at the same output with the current team. The problem is a CEO who is learning on the job by altering basically everything at a superfast pace.

The root cause is business & feature experimentation at scale with a tight runway & no executive oversight.
Oh come on. This is console.log spam. This isn’t a “self-DDoS”.
Sheesh this is a wildly misinformed post (or rather, informed exclusively by baseless Russian propaganda).

1. There was no 2014 coup in Ukraine, there was a change in president (ratified by parliament) because the first guy (Putin's stooge) had the police kill protestors. This predictably provoked riots, but a riot isn't a coup and indeed the government wasn't overthrown.

2. The invasion was never about NATO; this was just one in a litany of obvious propagandist justifications and it has no more credibility than any of the others ("de-Nazifying Ukraine" and "defending ethnic Russians against genocide"). To wit, if Russia was genuinely motivated by NATO encroachment why would he, after years of NATO weapons, personnel, and doctrine being turned away from Russia and toward the middle east, would it do the very fucking thing designed to flood Russia's doorstep with NATO weapons, personnel, and member states?

3. The idea that there has been no need for NATO since 1991 (because Russia hasn't been particularly aggressive) is a non-sequitur--Russia hasn't been particularly aggressive since 1991 because of NATO.

4. NATO has not been used to provoke conflicts with anyone.

5. NATO didn't provoke an attack in Afghanistan; Afghanistan aided and abetted an attack on a NATO member state. Recall NATO is a defensive alliance.

6. NATO wasn't involved in Iraq; various member states were involved.

7. NATO bombing in Libya was implementing a UN Security Council resolution (recall that China and Russia have UNSC veto rights which they declined to exercise).

8. NATO did intervene to halt an ethnic cleansing campaign in Yugoslavia. They found a loophole in International Law that allowed them to intervene legally.

9. NATO had no role in the Ukraine/Russia conflict except to provide Ukraine with the weapons, training, intelligence, etc necessary to defend itself. Russia is the unambiguous aggressor.

10. "The point of NATO has been said to..." this is not evidence, it's baseless rhetoric. I promise
100% agree with you

I think the catch here is that we need to know what makes admin work increase. While I can’t comment on education, at least for housing in Canada this is all a result of NIMBYism and government intervention. In other words, we could have slouched towards utopia much further than we have if it were not for NIMBYs.

>Getting healthy likely means waking up to the fact that we're under attack and doing something other than "self care" about it.

I pretty strongly disagree with this sentiment. The vast majority of misery in this country is self-inflicted from buying into a worldview and lifestyle that is inherently unfulfilling. The self care of conferring oneself from that mindset goes a long way.
You want to reduce fake reviews? Eliminate the incentives for sellers to create them. Right now we've got Amazon, AirBnb, Etsy, Google, Yelp, and the like all forcing their customers to game the system just to show up in search results, and sometimes pay for higher rankings. But if you don't like Amazon et al, well, where else will you go?

Instead of, as the story says "Businesses also would not be able to offer any incentives for writing positive reviews", how about "Platforms would not be able to take advantage of their customers in a way that incentives fake reviews"?

Re. "this is the best time to be a polymath". I was noticing something like that. For a while it became impossible to know or do "science" ("philosophy", was it?) as a whole. Too broad, too deep. That was not the end of the polymath but it was the end of truly broad expertise in one individual. Then the net in general made so much info available painlessly. (Much faster to dig deep on a narrow issue and switch issues - than say, even with a large academic library.) So that now, it's still not possible to master the forefront of tech or science on a very broad front, but it is possible to dig deep as needed to address this or that problem in the pursuit of what is now just about always a multidisciplinary project.

With the very present danger that many feel that a couple youtube videos is as deep as they ever need to go.

Being able to gauge how deep and broad you have to go for each difficulty you encounter has become an important skill. But polymath seems very possible.

I lived in Europe and these calls were non-existent too. But I spoke Flemish (which is a dialect of Dutch). So the target area was VERY small.

But my friend living in the South of Belgium, who spoke French, got plenty more.

If a scammer employs Flemish / Dutch speaking people they'll have a small target audience.

For Dutch you're looking at 25 million potential L1 targets [1].

However do that for French and all of the sudden you have about 80 million L1 potential targets [2]

MDMA is not quite safe. We have decades of research to prove otherwise now. r/DrugNerds have been putting out study after study pointing this out. The protocols required and safety measures for how often to dose are not what folks are going to be doing generally. It is neurotoxic.

LSD on the other hand, yes quite safe (and even good) for your brain, unless you're prone to mental illness or currently suffering from mental illness.
One thing about having leadership that is known to lie about anything or everything, for any sort of imagined personal gain, is that the very concept of truth is destroyed.

I agree that this is probably not the bug at the root of it all. But I also don't believe the story that Musk is selling for why he's in effect shutting down the site. But both could be true and I'm still thinking about other potential reasons, a complete waste of my time, but it's a weird mental honeypot.

The book "Nothing is true and everything is possible" describes Putin's use of misinformation to maintain control of the populace and eliminate democratic types of politics, but it really feels like it applies here too. There will always be Musk fanbois who will parrot whatever he wants them to say, but most know it's just self-serving BS. And anybody trying to get to the root of everything gets easily sidetracked into narratives that feel right but have zero data backing them, like this bug.

Anyway, highly recommend this book if you want to see a likely path for the future of the US:

He should have tried at least a little bit the way that has made Twitter profitable for some quarters in the past instead of diving head first into thinking people would want to pay. Making the platform appealing to advertisers and having a sales team get them to spend.
The site is totally unusable right now unless you're a paid subscriber, in which case it's only very slightly less unusable - so by definition I'd say yeah, Twitter as we knew it has been destroyed. Whether Elon intends to backpedal in the next 12-24 hours as seems to be his MO remains to be seen.

AI so far has been good for going from 0->1 for my projects, but past that it doesn't seem to scale super well. And when things start getting more complicated its starts to hallucinate or forget context, even from previous parts of the same conversation. Idk maybe I'm not using it to its fullest extent, but I have a hard time believing it will replace even junior-level coders that can identify and fix smaller bugs in a larger codebase.
Why aren’t they employing it in this current conflict?
In the mid 90’s we used Cyclades multi-port serial cards to do this. These were PCI cards that connected to one or more breakout boxes that contained (in our case) 16 RS-232 ports each. We had 48 total ports connected to a 60mhz Pentium with 32MB of RAM.

This was a decidedly low budget solution, even at the time. There were also commercial offerings from vendors like Cisco and Livingston that provided a terminal server in a dedicated appliance form factor.

Yeah you can just place it in the root of your repo. If you deploy a docker image via `git:from-image` or `git:load-image`, the file is extracted from the image itself, otherwise it is from the committed source code root. You can always change the path as you showed above.
