I must admit, I find threads quite enjoyable.

Perhaps it is the novelty factor, but I find myself establishing contact with individuals (and even them contacting each other for the first time) whom I rarely engage with otherwise, as they tend to frequent different social platforms (Twitter vs IG vs TikTok vs Snap).

Typically my social networking engagement is almost strictly HN, so witnessing everyone I know engaged in vibrant interactions has proven to be a fascinating experience after a prolonged period of relative quietness for myself.
But the things you mention are specifically the things that I think works better in the second one.

I can maybe agree that the first one looks more "polished" but at the same time I actually feel a but uneasy looking at it because my brain has to work harder to discern the UI elements due to the lack of colors and low contrast. Although the lines are heavier in the second one, I find it much easier to filter out the data that I am looking for.

Also the first one wastes screen real estate like crazy. I can only see 7 emails in that one, whereas the second one shows 14. I want all the emails that I receive within a single day to be able fit on a single screen so I don't have to scroll. Frankly, I think the first one sucks.
disclaimer, i dont think communism could ever work on current humans (there will always be people who will exploit system), it works great on paper or for ants etc.

That said can you give me an example of the communism you described as

"Power in everyone's hands, everyone is equal in authority"

The best example i can think of is a 'proto' communist fraction in Spanish civil war as Orwell described in Homage to Catalonia.
I guess at the point the customer has cancelled their subscription you're like fine calling them idiots because you no longer have a business relationship withstanding with them?

> "Of course they're idiots if they cancelled us."
I think that's the point of the article. I read it as more of sarcasm.
It doesn’t work in China for the same reason.
That seems like a solvable problem though. Encode the generated markup in a human readable diffable format.

Still it does point to one reason that stuff died. The big one though is the transition to the web.
NewPipe has been working for me for years with occasional breaking changes on YouTube's side that required an urgent update. I watch pretty much everything at 2x speed 1080p and have no issues with buffering.
Why is this news? This is like junk food on the menu at a restaurant.
"The media" didn't do it. He did it himself.

What you're talking about sounds just like the eb and flow of drug markets everywhere. So the policy did nothing either way? Far fewer people were incarcerated? That seems like a net positive and smashing success to me. Portugals policies were a success. It's blatantly true.
email works between companies because it's based on standards whereas messaging companies are all trying to lock us in to their particular system so they can "win" and that ensures that we cannot "chat" to people with some other software.
> If someone is being paid more, this person has to work more

No, they should deliver more value.

Best managers I had didn't have that much tasks scheduled. They:

1. Made important decisions right.

2. Processed all incoming requests, both from their reports and from outside, swiftly and with full attention.

3. Had enough psychological stamina to say "no" when it's necessary and defend their team from pressure and anxiety.

None of these things require working a lot of hours. Actually, lazy people are better suited to do it properly.
One thing that seems to really get the point across is to have someone type the words “permanently delete” in a text box before enabling the button.

I’ve seen this UI pattern in a few places, and it is a bit annoying for something you might do semi-regularly, but seems totally appropriate for your use-case. Something about typing that makes people’s brains fully activate, I think.

> Covid has been carried by multiple domestic creatures and supposedly 'started' with a single animal to human contact.

That wasn't my question.

> Because you only need one, and the R0 is so high, missing animals is a huge hole in tracking.

You only "need one" for what? To infect a person? Obviously if you don't track animal to human contacts you will miss an animal to human contact if an animal to human infection occurred. But there are thousands of infections per day. Contact tracing is unlikely to be 100% reliable over all cases. So what do you "only need one" for? To increase case load by one? I genuinely don't know what you're trying to get at.

If over all of Corona let's say 10 people got infected by animals, and you miss them. What happens then?

Should we also track rock to human infections? Maybe they could happen, and we only need to miss one...
Not quite the same thing here. Unsubscribing is reversible and without data loss.

Account deletion should be hard(er) due to the irreversible nature.
The core usefulness of OOP is usability.

This is the reason I find it useful. To me, OOP is as much about your organization as it is about the best way to load, transform, present, edit, and store data. I think the culture of some companies lends itself to various kinds of programming, but it's the cultureless companies where OOP is most useful. The places where nobody is trying to change the world, where people work to pay their mortgages, where an executive may only work for two years and a programmer may only work for six months.

It's in an environment like that where a self-documenting, self-configuring code base with custom classes and exceptions that guide the next developer is essential.

Every developer should have two users in mind. The person using the software, and the next developer who maintains the software after you're gone. OOP is a great way to empower the second user when the only thing that will reliably outlive the developer is the code base.
> Information density can be very overwhelming and a factor for stress.

Don’t do that. Make it delete after 30 days so people can reverse mistakes.

He is an Asutralian citizen so one has to wonder why Australians haven't burned down the US embassy yet. Why is there not more uproar about it from Australians?

The silence from Australia has been deafening.

>He was smeared as [...] a Russian spy

Calling him a Russian spy is misleading because he has been openly employed by Russian state media (RT) since 2012. He has never denied being affiliated with Russia so how can he be a spy?
The author of the article is right when he says that writing code is often the easy part of the job for many people. The people who hand out promotions don't read your code, but they do read your writing and hear you speak.

I write documentation, do presentations and demos, do code reviews, and even primarily communicate with colleagues through text. The truth is that people who are better writers have an easier time doing this sort of thing. If the author had emphasized the practical benefits to the average non-influencer-wannabe dev, this article would have been a lot more useful.

I think public speaking classes (or at least practice) and even speech/accent coaching would be beneficial for many developers for the same reasons. Your ideas are only as good as your ability to get people to listen to you, and if you go up the ranks as a developer or transition to management, this only becomes more important.
Is freedom of information dishonesty?
I will read up on what you posted. But to answer GP, I basically agree with what you posted.

From a philosophical pov, the well known regimes (Stalinist USSR, Maoist China, Varsovia pact regimes, DPRK) were dictatorships and they were failed attempts at communism.

From a historical point of view it is fine to call them communist.
Interesting point! I would take it further and say that it’s not about reading, but about being able to find the needed information.

I won’t read the entire git book, if I only want to create a new branch. I should be able to find it.
In scala I’ve productively used monad, semigroup etc because the type system was barely good enough to express it. In other languages i haven’t had as much implementing the concepts because of poor type systems.
Author here! That article (and plenty of other stuff on that site) was a direct inspiration for this trick! Matthew's stuff is really great.

Early on I thought I might try to incorporate some kind of browser-bar animation into what I was doing here but I didn't come up with anything concrete before bumping into the browser-compatibility issues that stopped me from going further with this idea.
I hate the Threads user experience.

You're force fed content from brands, divisive political figures, meme pages, and influencers, and given no way to discover accounts you actually want to follow. At least on Twitter it's easier to find accounts to follow.

I get it's an MVP, but the current format of being designed as a totalitarian app that controls all the content you see makes it unusable to me.
Maxima is implemented in Common Lisp. The language features full numeric tower with bignums and rationals - generally it is a very good language for number crunching.
OT, but:

Having one identity also means putting all your eggs in one basket, which in turn means you'll get banned from all products under the umbrella ownership, should you screw up something. Or get compromised. Or just have bad luck.
> Not everyone has the time to learn Common Lisp.

How true is this? I've learnt both CL and Python and it took me an order of magnitude less time to learn CL.
You mean Instagram Threads, a subset of Instagram, purchased by Meta which was formerly know as "The Social Network That Shall Not Be Named"?
Such a low effort post. What do you expect?
She seems quite deeply knowledgeable about a lot of different languages which is impressive. Or much research was done. I just don’t have that much stuff stick especially for languages I don’t use every day.

Sorry I don't have a answer for your question. But wow, I was not aware of that quote. The audacity of Zuckerberg lecturing people on lack of integrity is amazing. Shaming customers to further tighten his companys lock-in strategy seems... fittingly dystopian.

>Sincerely, a person who went to a school you've never heard of, but makes a ton of money because I know 4 skills that synergize and scarce.

I always thought people in academia don't really make much money compared with what they could make in business. Adding to it that it takes a very long time and lots of hard work to get "to the top - get tenure" I'm amazed we're still seeing any scientific progress being made.
Canvas is faster _because_ it relies on JS. It’s a much dumber and stateful API - the browser has to do much less work.
No, I don't find that to be a fair claim.

It's obvious that the political and social biases of journalists play a large role in constructing narrative.

What you're saying just isn't compelling because it exonerates the role that media outlets have played in narrative formation.
>That's just like downloading any other app.

There are regulations on quite a number of things but the evidentiary standards are not equal because a treatment has to demonstrate a health benefit whereas a packaging additive just has to "demonstrate an absence of harm" which is actually a lax criteria because proving a negative is inherently "impossible".

The practical implication is that your bloodstream is filled with relatively few small-molecule drugs and relatively many synthetic chemicals.
Of course not, but financial products are priced and offered with a financial outcome (usually a margin) in mind. If you make mortgage processing more expensive, you'll find the offers for origination are worse than if mortgage processing were less expensive.

Any logic that we are currently aware of. DNA contains many unsolved mysteries and I expect that gift to keep on giving for a long time to come.
The enshittification also seems to be growing the fastest too.

The first day or two was great. It was only content from the immediate network, or things they liked or reposted.

Now? So much low-effort content. Like "memezar" posting "lost my girl but won the argument". Or other accounts like "wasted" (ironic) and others.

Perhaps threads is trying to Speedrun the Twitter algorithm, and next week we'll see more outragey political and news based items. You know, for engagement.
If pure client-side performance is key, and you can afford a little extra bandwidth, then go a little further and pre-draw server-side and transfer as date:uri images. Then you are not relying on JS running on the client to draw on the canvases. Not an option if you need things drawn more dynamically client-side, in response to user changes/filters/etc without a server round-trip, of course.

Though in any case if you have thousands of sparklines in cells I'd question if the display is actually useful to anyone.

Unless it is a large table of data you are presenting in which case thousands of rows has display time issues in my experience anyway. I have in mind a CSV preview on one of our support dashboards which takes a noticeable time to render when given a client import of ~8,000 rows and ~15 columns and that is not a lot more than a plain HTML table.
SVG could never be as fast as canvas.
I don't mean to say that changing a culture/mindset is at all easy. It's just that if the culture were to start changing, I think we would see significant progress in terms of elevating African-Americans to decent socioeconomic standing. The other day there was another HN thread about charter schools, where some people discussed what to do about chronic trouble kids (for lack of a better term). The fact that home life is a major factor in how kids develop means that bad households generally produce bad kids, but good households generally produce good kids.

If there was some magical way to change the culture of many African-American communities instantly, and if the government bolstered schools, healthcare, and whatnot, that would really be something. I don't think all that money will be very effective if the culture isn't changed, though. And affirmative action is too late, too little in the education journey.

I recognize this is like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill right now, but that's the only feasible way out that I see.
As I recall the team has been jumping the main/release branch by larger numbers as beta moves through more polish effectively making release the long-term servicing/ESR branch so 115 will start to be offered tomorrow.
It is not that dissimilar as branding in the real world. There are a ton of great little restaurants, but when you don't have time to really explore, some many small restaurants are also horrible, you pick a brand you are familiar with. The reason is that you know what to expect.

Similar to why so many people want to get Google, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, etc on their resume. While there are a ton of amazing small companies they just do not have the same brand recongition.

I think the economic term for this is "signalling." Having associating with these brand name schools gives you instant credibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(economics)

Hi

It's Solomon Eseme, the author of the piece.

When you say the first two paragraph. I'm hoping you mean:

"This is the most comprehensive guide on Docker online.

In this docker tutorial, you will learn docker from scratch to an advanced level starting from the concept of containerization to Docker Compose in Docker."

1. "This is the most comprehensive guide on Docker online.

This is how I start all my Definitive guides and it gives you a sense that I will try to make the guide understandable and easy to read by using the word "comprehensive"

2. "In this docker tutorial, you will learn docker from scratch to an advanced level starting from the concept of containerization to Docker Compose in Docker."

This is me letting you know that article is a journey from "Beginner" to "Advanced" meaning, it's long and you can skip to any point. That's why I separate them into chapters.

Thanks for your feedback.
Oh wow, it works in the system tray. Sold!
While I'm not using Petalisp I can attest that Marco is known for delivering high quality software with a strong focus on performance. I suspect that the phrase "Coming soon!" means exactly that - when he'll make them they will be published.

The issue is that policy is being established based on studies that are either very badly designed or in many cases outright fraudulent, often with devastating consequences.

Like many things, research is often spoiled by human nature. Researchers want to prove their hypothesis so desperately that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make that hypothesis true. Perverse incentives are everywhere in the research world.
#6 they're prevelant everywhere including Europe, and care for them is terrible everywhere, including Europe.
#6 It gets tainted into a Manipulation Framework

The world was heavily divided and enraged by social media algorithms. The obvious evolution would be machine learning that feels more human, can gain the trust of humans then slowly and carefully starting to manipulate them after the initial learning phase is completed. Some may even see AI as their trusted friend and will go to it for all advice, sharing personal information they would never have given to social media.

And now I know why that weird version of DOS existed a few decades ago when I was working on cash registers. Back then you ran across a lot of DOS compatible OS's and documentation. As long as all the same commands worked you were usually fine.

The older I get, the more prejudiced I get: STEM exists, everything else is just bullshit. Ethics is just made up. Even the less rigorous "sciences" like psychology are mostly just nonsense (unreproducible "results", driven by fashion not results, more about getting donor/client money in than actually discovering or changing anything) as far as I can see.
There's a significant amount of heavy machinery made in the late 19th/early 20th century still in use in the US too, although I suspect they're more like the Ship of Theseus now. The cost of replacement (especially for highly specialised machines), and the cost of downtime (lost production), strongly biases the decision towards maintenance rather than replacement.
No, check modemmanager for devices that support this. Not sure if there is a frontend application for that though.
In general, me drinking a beer doesn't harm you, though. At all. And this is true for the vast majority of people.

I suspect you think the cause is the alcohol: But realistically, it is that people don't always plan ahead. As far as drunk driving is concerned, robust transport would be a step in the right direction. Especially in the countryside and small towns - in the US, these are filled with bars but no transport.

The link with homocides isn't nearly as clear. More people drink alcohol than other drugs and from what I could find, it might be a part of a series of events than anything else, at least in the US. If it doesn't hold to other places, then I'll dismiss it. Prohibiting alcohol in public simply isn't going to help, and we've seen what complete prohibition does. Do you have an actual solution that doesn't drive it underground? I'd personally start with improving people's lives in general so that there is less stress all around - at least that stuff we can do something about.
Courts are also sometimes full of work so any request by the executive will be granted by default. The chances of repercussions are much smaller to decide this way.
Maybe this is different depending on what industry you're in - but for a lot of people in my circle (tech/startup media), the incredible thing about Twitter is that you can DM almost anyone.

I've connected with so many people there.

There's also a culture of DMing there, where your messages have a higher likelihood of getting replied to than other places like LinkedIn.

I didn't use DMs for years. And also wasn't a big Twitter person at all. So I get it. But that all changed a few years ago, and now, I'm tellin ya' - the only feature that matters there is the DMs.
My layman’s suspicion is that they are responsible for the obesity crisis.
As far as I'm concerned I'm fine with it remaining flagged/dead - if it minimizes the chances that any wisdom contained within can be used the next time you guys find yourself in the middle of yet another crisis you've mismanaged yourself into it may be best from a karma perspective.

Have you considered tweaking your design to mark it as deleted and then follow up with an irreversible delete after a few days? So people have time to notice that actually they really do need the account? Then this whole process can be self-service, they will leave you alone, and people who currently make mistakes without writing to you are also better off.
