You can't view content there without an account now.

Not sure why people aren't making a bigger deal about this. Acres of content were removed from the public web overnight, and people (like journalists) who still treat this like it's some sort of public service seem clueless to this.

Rate limiting is minor compared to that.
It is an art and takes experience to know when to apply it.

There are a ton of tools in my garage I have only used once or twice. They're closer to the junk end of the scale and that's just fine. Even at that quality level, it might take me another 20 years to wear out or break them.

You can only bust your knuckles so many times on a cheap ratchet, though, before it just isn't worth it. Cheap blades that snap and chip are terrible too.

Sometimes the price is a complete lie too. The more I think about it, the harder I realize this is.
Then they can't leverage "engagement" to sell ads.

Which is the point.

You win. Wow.
I’m tempted to say it’s mostly just the users but I’m afraid that I’m pointing four fingers back at myself.
Yeah, that will show him:

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world as of June 9, 2023, according to Forbes. His net worth is estimated to be $220 billion, which is $5 billion more than the second-richest person, Bernard Arnault who is at number 2 with the net worth of $215.4 billion.

How Elon Musk topped the chart again In Thursday, June 8's trading, Tesla stock showed a remarkable rally of 4.6%, reaching $235 per share and extending its winning streak to 10 consecutive days. This put Tesla on track to achieve its highest closing share price since October 6, 2022. After experiencing a decline and reaching a two-year low in early January, Tesla shares have rebounded impressive.
Instagram users are hardly the crowd to have intelligent discussions with. It’s all shallow people who caption their photos with platitudes. At least Twitter, for all its warts, has academics and industry leaders.

As it is, I don’t see how Threads will survive in the long run, considering how Instagram users are the sort of people who have short attention spans unless their apps dazzle them with something animated or with video in it.
I love the "enshittification" moniker that's been going around lately. I feel it nicely encapsulates the nature of what's been happening the last few years in particular. I wonder who coined the term? I don't recall seeing it used until pretty recently. Taking a quick glance, it seems like it might've been this article? https://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-platforms-cory-doctorow/

I sure do yearn for the days of "Extinguish" though, it seems wondrous compared to what's happening nowadays. At least if they extinguished their platforms, many others would jump in to fill the void left behind, and hopefully do a better job at it. Better yet, the world will ~~objectively~~ arguably be better off! Thanks for taking one for the team, Tumblr.
After I shared some POC exploits with Plugins OpenAI added this requirement it seems.

However as far as I can tell, and most recent testing shows, this requirement is not enforced: https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2023/chatgpt-plugin-vul...

I'm still hoping that OpenAI will fix this at the platform level, so that not every Plugin developer has to do this themselves.

It took 15+ years to get same-site cookies - let's see if the we can do better in here...
It's been a joke among 2 of my friends (and collaborators) that no matter what code they write, a "cleanup" commit by me would refactor/prettify everything.

I deserve the Tee Hee (and some professional help).

Of course, Monkey Wrench is inevitableas well.
Personally the crazy success of TikTok makes me care more about text based content. Threads won't be it for me though.
tl;dr, Meta is making a play like they have before with Threads, cloning other platforms' features etc, in this case to use ActivityPub and take advantage of the mess Twitter is in with a seemingly large mass of people looking for a new centralized space to converse in.
I canceled mine maybe a week ago. So hopefully it can be done for you, too!

For anyone not jumping ship, you can reduce your price hike to only 78-ish total per year by clicking through the cancelation menus.
It was also pretty predictable as literally ever major SF dog runs into similar problems or wacky underground issues (giant building sized slab of rock that no-one found? Happened. Run into multiple historic 150 year old sunken boats buried under your skyscraper? Happened…)
> It might depend on the community.

Always. But maybe a factor is the size of the "community"? A hub city has X number of residents plus Y folks who work there plus Z folks who live in suburbs but are counted as part of the metropolis.

OTOH a small city is small, so the folks may share more in common -- and thus push out interlopers and ignore noise makers.
I don't really agree.

Here's what the supremes said in Feist V. Rural:

> Factual compilations, on the other hand, may possess the requisite originality. The compilation author typically chooses which facts to include, in what order to place them, and how to arrange the collected data so that they may be used effectively by readers. These choices as to selection and arrangement, so long as they are made independently by the compiler and entail a minimal degree of creativity, are sufficiently original that Congress may protect such compilations through the copyright laws. Nimmer ss 2.11[D], 3.03; Denicola 523, n. 38. Thus, even a directory that contains absolutely no protectible written expression, only facts, meets the constitutional minimum for copyright protection if it features an original selection or arrangement.

Alphabetical order wasn't quite enough. But people directing the work that produces the coefficients are doing considerably more creative work than that.

> Thus: We are nowhere near the point where the output is under creative control rather than being the result of a poorly understood mechanical recipe.

No one requires complete creative control of the output. I can spatter paint and have relatively poor control of what's happening, but I am certainly generating a copyrightable work when I engage in creative choices as part of this.
Not sure why low self esteem isn’t covered as a major problem if you want to learn things. It’s as bad as over confidence, you stop yourself from learning anything remotely difficult because you talk yourself down habitually

It's a luxury brand. I have been there twice for specialty tools, and while it's not what Hermès has become, they do have an analogous network of craft manufacturers and the core of their business is/was from people who actually do something.

I think the secret to a luxury brand is to take something people love and then imagine and make the perfect version of a tool for it without being constrained by costs. It's the pursuit of an ideal. For that example, it was horse tack with a successful accessories business that took off, for LVMH it was travel trunks for grand tours. For Lee Valley, it was woodworking and gardening. I'd venture that behind every upper tier luxury brand, there is an essential activity that people love, and they don't see the money go in pursuit of it.
It's not a secret conspiracy, it's public policy.

It's no good if wages and prices go up, as that would will compound into a positive feedback loop until currency collapse.
Yeah, please don't just parrot chatgpt bullshit.
that's a very interesting point and example. TCP is normally lossless and byte-for-byte before data is forwarded to the application. I think your example may illustrate a loophole - truncation.

It'd only work if, like your example, it was the truncation that caused the flub. You can't have random corruption.

Does curl in a pipeline really behave that way - if the connection is interrupted (TCP RESET), does it just end the pipe? It probably actually does, from what I see.

It's an interesting edge case.

Personally I use, which would seem more immune:

curl -o /tmp/a
vi /tmp/a
{get bored easily, fuckit}
sh /tmp/a
Hiring well is all about collecting signal. I can reliably collect more signal in a lunch interview than a coding interview. But I never said anything about what the signal represented, and it certainly doesn't represent anything that correlates to performance.

Passing a lunch interview should be the easiest thing in the world. Just don't be brazenly unethical or immoral, a complete douchebag, a sexist scumbag or a racist shithead. It's amazing how many people fail at this simple task. It doesn't take a lot of signal to fail.

It's far more important that you can have a civil conversation with a reasonable, level headed person than it is for them to be able to solve fizz buzz in 30 minutes.

Doubtful if federation will happen in the short term, seems like a few months away. If they even bother.
The simple approach is to default to single party consent but allow explicit nonconsent. In other words nobody can be recorded without their knowledge, but if they’re informed a recording is being made then remaining in the conversation is consent.
Not saying that his net worth is going to go to zero, nor do I care.

Just saying that the money he invested in Twitter is seriously at risk.
Yeah think it was a Doctorow thing.

It sounds like something out of HBO's Silicon Valley also, which kind of exemplifies the very point.
I'm sorry, I don't follow. I know this is a lot of words responding to a short comment already, but I think you'd have to break this out further to make it legible to me. You're giving the comment more thought than I did writing it, for what it's worth.
What happens if you try to sign up for a new account? Similar level of malfunction, I assume.

I am so sick of this reality. Endless dark patterns to get your money. Nearly impossible to get out. Why ever make a good product when you can just seek rent and fall into that perfect optimum of cheap-enough that cancelling is not worth the pain.
What problem are they solving? No one has any idea. Info keeps exploding instead of shrinking.
I'd forgotten that Federal law's 1 party consent is as extensive as it is, & hadn't included that above. That is an important consideration.

To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about states creating their own privacy laws. Part of me agrees, that 1 party consent is probably all that's required, and to do more creates a danger that criminal activity can use the law to protect itself.

Oregon did exempt two specific classes of speech: any speech talking about a felony that endangers human life, and any speech by police officers. This gives the public some right to 1 party record really bad things.

What's so weird here is that the court used those exemptions to strike down the entire law. They said that since the law discriminates, since these people aren't protected, it jeopardizes their right to speech. And they used that to invalidate all of the state's attempt to create additional privacy for citizens. I'm not sure how I feel on 2 party consent entirely, but this seemed like an attempt to create a somewhat balanced, privacy-sensitive approach, and seeing it taken down like this makes me feel embarrassed for the courts, that the federal courts would so brazenly & broadly undo the state legislature. I'm undecided about 2 part consent, but this feels like a vicious stroke by the courts.

I think you can reasonably argue that, but (I'm guessing) that most people will disagree with you about the legitimacy of attempting to punish the USN by accosting unrelated merchant ships.
Perhaps I'm misreading this, but this appears only to apply to those recordings done in public.
I use android and I can record my phone calls. So....
Imagine any other profession needing to inspect, rebuild, and fix the tools that they are given to do their job.
Also the same thing as Facebook prior to 2010.
I would love it if some service did have an explicit option for the visibility of "monetized influencer crap". I'd be tempted to use them purely to reward their honesty.
Like you I skimmed this, having done a bit of work on RegEx's recently. I think the language in my case is using the PikeVM, by virtue of there being no error returned unlike the other engines, so I had to, within the limitations of the language and its copyrighted protected status, had to create some new RegEx functionality for myself, to make it easier to use as RegEx's can be plain and simple Voodoo.

I dont have the stats of how often the other engines would be used, but if most of the programming languages out there are using PikeVM, then I can see why Google has not only written their own OS for their servers, but also saved a few more clock cycles by getting other engines into action for specific situations where the PikeVM would be too slow and/or heavy on the clock cycles. I know all to well how a few extra characters in the search string can drastically slow up the pattern matching.

The proverb "take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves" definitely applies to RegEx and clock cycles. I suspect when looking back at some conversations from the 90's, its made some coders I know very rich when dealing with millions of records per second processing.
On the other hand, it should be possible for software to be done. I have never used Evernote, but I am not sure how much innovation is required in the note-taking space.
>>>> Many interviewers fail to provide enough context and that leaves the interpretation of the prompt too wide open.

yes but this not a defect as youre viewing it.

in real world at amazon, your job to deal with ambiguity. the hand holding phase where youre given or told exactly what to do is maybe 1-2 year for college level hire. you work with ambiguity or you move out.

if you do not want ambiguity challenge then amazon not best fit for you. its not for everyone and amazon certainly has big problems in its culture. not defending any of it but saying to you what it is.
Now you can even get water heaters with heat pumps and combo units that dump your waste heat from your hvac heat pump into the water heater. It’s wild.
I think Twitter is the best it’s ever been. Edit button, longform posts instead of threads, better videos, paid posts/subscriptions, and more.

I’ve never understood the complaints about hate speech or content, since you choose who to follow, can mute phrases, people, retweets, etc. I think community notes is probably the best anti-disinformation/fact check feature of any platform.

I don’t agree with everything they’ve done, but Musk clearly has made a better effort on product than any of the previous management.
Ship something. This is part of what continues to hold confidence too. If you are consistently getting things built and shipped, it shows you are contributing. That's what it's all about.

We do have Notion (and alternatives), who needs Evernote now ? Evernote should have an exporting tool to import into Notion instead.

The point of using frameworks is to take advantage of complex code written by others that’s also well tested. This makes implementing common tasks faster, simpler, and less error prone.

I have a webpage for my wife that has one form to submit they sends an email to her. I used plain JS. It took longer than I thought to implement because I had to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. I had to write everything from scratch.

For a business where the website is changing frequently with many developers, being able to leverage a plethora of existing code and solutions is very helpful.

Heck, even for people writing plain JS, I bet you find yourself writing helper functions and small libraries to DRY you code and make common things easier. Framework invented!
Over 20 years now actually! A dinosaur in internet-time. Reminiscent of Erowid in age and simplicity (and depth!).
So the first animals ever recorded was 550million years ago, the amount of time humans been around is tens of thousands , or in the tech age, 2000 or so. It’s just cool thinking what even 50,000 years will be like, let alone a few million of years it takes for something to evolve

In 2023 JS is no longer necessary, for instance, Blazor also works fine, and works great for small teams building just LOB apps.

There's an important point you make.

Google plus failed. But a few of us loved it, because of its interface and ease of managing for the large part, but also because we interacted differently with and with different people than on Facebook instagram etc.

Whereas Facebook to your point is dominated by my friends and family (but less and less their original content and more and more with copied "memes), Google plus rapidly developed shared circles of interesting people with interesting things to say. Thay we could flow. Pretty quickly my google plus was a rich mine of unbelievably high quality content from fabulous people. Not even HN has quite reached thay zenith for me.

(Twitter by all accounts does that for some. I have not been able to get over / subjugate it's insane formatting and threading limitations and sorting and algorithms and submit them to my will).
Mostly because of vertical integration, and Apple being more vertically integrated in comparison to other PC manufacturers.

Simply put, when you design and build every single thing that goes into a complex product, you then have complete control over everything that makes up that product, and thus have complete control over that resulting product's quality. A more vertically integrated company is thus in a better position to make a better quality product - particularly so, because it has a better potential to address any quality issues stemming from where separate components interface.

Think about it, if you build an assembled product using parts sourced from third parties (ie you're not vertically integrated), you are somewhat at the mercy of third parties and the quality of their parts. On one end, this can be beneficial (or bad), as you can reap quality gains anytime you're vendors improve the quality of their parts (and vice versa).

But, generally speaking, vendors are only interested in the quality of their part/product, not necessarily your downstream product which sources their part/product as a component. As so, new quality problems can arise from integrating separate parts, of which your vendors may not care much to address, but you at times can't address them either (in the best possible way) because it would take slight changes to each of the vendor's products, at which you're at the mercy of your vendors to change but it's not really in their interest to do so. As so, from a holistic viewpoint (your assembled product), you can end up being stuck with a suboptimal solution (ie lower quality product).
The waste majority of ships will be battery powered, even cargo ships, as most cargo transport is local and short route. Same goes for planes. For the rest hydrogen is just a in between product, directly turning it into things like methanol or jet fuel.

Steel and other metals can be made with direct Molten Oxide Electrolysis. That is a far better path forward then hydrogen.

> You also need to think seriously about the downside of alternative ideas, and not pretend they are magically perfect.

Given your absurd defense of hydrogen cars, I will just say, look in the mirror.

> Batteries are heavy and expensive, nor are they environmental friendly to produce. If you see hydrogen as a far greener type of energy storage, then you will see there are upsides too.

As a complete engineering solution end to end, batteries are far more environmentally friendly, far more efficient and far cheaper. Let alone if you also include infrastructure cost. Anybody who seriously investigates these things will come to the same conclusions.
Okay, I’ll volunteer. Hooks solve a real problem in a really unidiomatic way that makes real code hard to understand. They put invisible function boundaries around return values and create state machines inside the body of functions which don’t correspond to the actual function body.

I could say the same thing about Solid and its reactivity, and I have. But at least with Solid you know where the magic begins: an opening JSX tag. With hooks, it’s everwhere and you can’t know where magic and non-magic share a space because it’s externalized to linters which have limited capabilities to cross module boundaries.

I don’t like any of this magic but I’ll take “it happens predictably at an angle bracket with a well defined next character” any day.
