Slightly weird take, in that Mastodon is far bigger than Bluesky, user-wise. Generally feels like they're giving a lot of importance to Bluesky vs Threads and Mastodon, which I suppose maybe if you have been the most-blocked person on Bluesky is only natural. The general thesis is probably correct, though; Twitter's monopoly on this sort of network is now broken.

I'm thinking it has to do with how we use X to fill in choices in a form. And btw. that's a common mistake to make in Japan - never fill in forms with X there, use maru instead.
I feel like some of the discussion about anonimity here is kind of misplaced. Just because illegal activies can be done under anonimity shouldn't mean anonimity should be banned aswell(in order to "prevent illegal activities"). That's one of the worst things that can happen(and it's somewhat happening already), and if I'm not mistaken this could also be interpreted as illegal and unconstitutional in countries/places where there is such thing as a "right to (>and not<) associate"(and it's various forms).

And I'm sorry for the upcoming little rant, but whoever thinks they're anonymous while using a Meta(or any Big Tech platform, really) product is an idiot, tech literate or not. Not even places like 4chan have true anonimity, depending on the place & jurisdiction we're talking about[remember the case of the guy making a call to violence(illegal) that got arrested]. The 'traditional' web is not anonymous at all:not only the underlying protocol(s) is/are inherently not anonymous by design, but you add insane surveillance and you can eventually crack anything. Even things like TOR/others are not truly anonymous, and the US regime proved that if they want to find you, they will, assuming they have jurisdiction.

Coming back: I don't quite get why people talk about free speech in this context. Not only S230 is a broken f&ckfest but we're also talking about a non-US place. What's more hilarious is that even if we would have talked about the US, defamation (w/ calls to violence & other speech not protected by 1A) is still illegal.

IAAL and advise on data protection and privacy.

Anecdotally I can tell you that the MitM aspect of Cloudflare and other similar providers is not well understood.

My impression is that a lot of people use these services without really understanding the implications.

For example, when you look at some of the risks that privacy laws are trying to protect against, especially access to data by foreign actors (including government agencies) without due process, use of these types of services changes the game.

Sometimes the benefits might outweigh the risks, but the decision to use these types of services should not be taken trivially.

That said, I routinely use Cloudflare for my personal projects.
I thought just that about the JWST; I remember an interview with one of the lead engineers saying he wasn't stressed about the launch because he knew they had done everything possible to ensure success and everything was in fate's hands now.

Why do think it’s such a problem? Those are the risks of speculating and the market adjusted back downwards in very short order. If Iris was a manipulator the gains were minimal and fleeting.

The anti-markets comments all over this are so unfortunate and misguided.

Subject: Potential Threat to Digital Freedom from Google's Web Environment Integrity

Dear [Recipient],

I'm writing to highlight an important matter regarding the digital freedom and competitiveness on the internet. Google is rapidly advancing a policy named "Web Environment Integrity" (WEI) in their Chromium browser.

WEI allows developers to regulate browser configurations, which could lead to limiting the usage of free browsers or operating systems. This creates a potential for a web environment that discriminates based on browser usage. Further, this scenario could pave the way for governments and corporations to enforce specific browser usage and could also allow Google to restrict access to their services based on browser compliance.

This practice contradicts the fundamental principles of an open and competitive digital marketplace. I strongly encourage your agency to investigate the potential impacts of Google's WEI and consider taking necessary actions.

Your proactive engagement is vital in preserving the principles that ensure a free and open web.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

> Users from every Matrix homeserver can chat with users from all other Matrix servers.

This statement lead me to assumed the "matrix specification" discussed was about server-to-server communication... I'm not interested in digging into the underpinnings of this server-to-server communication (right now) just like I'm not terribly interested in how blockchains keep in sync across nodes... But I am interested in how this whole stack works, and I was lost with this page as the starting point.

So I think it's safe to add an extra sentence to explain the relationship while still keeping the page simplistic and focused.

I still have plans to get back to it at some point.

Thank you! Paywalls be damned.
The parent comment was comparing Ubuntu and Debian-slim
The first thing you should do is profile the code (py-spy is my preferred option) and see if there are any obvious hotspots. Then I'd actually look at the code, and understand what the structure is. For example, are you making lots of unnecessary copies of data? Are you recomputing something expensive you can store (functools.cache is one line and can make things much faster at the cost of memory)?

Once you've done that, then you should be familiar enough the code to know which bits are worth using multiprocessing on (i.e. the large embarrassingly parallel bits), which if they are a significant part of your code should scale near linearly.

The other thing to check is which libraries are you using (and what are your dependencies using). numpy now includes openblas (though mkl may be faster for your usecase), but sometimes you can achieve large speedups though choosing a different library, or ensuring speedups are being built.

Why do you want to measure productivity?

You already know where you are. A measurement doesn’t help your team ship better or faster.

If you’re shipping product improvements at a regular cadence, and the customers are happy, then there’s no problem with productivity.

If you’re shipping poor quality, identify why and improve that.

If you’re shipping so slow that it’s negatively impacting customers, identify why and improve that.

Shoot me an email, I’d be happy to offer more perspective or advice.
There are fewer positions, but as usual people who already reached the required level have a hard priority. So it's only harder if the total number of management positions is shrinking faster than total number of engineering positions (which might we'll be the case now though).
> not many care about the responsibilities like taking care of nature

Our farming practices (deforestation, pesticide/herbicide use, insect die offs ...) and diet preferences are driving many species, including birds, to extinction.

We could significantly reduce the damage by restructuring our diets; however, not many people seem to care about that.

I use PyPy quite often as a 'free' way to make some non-numpy CPU-bound Python script faster. This is also the context for when I bring up PyPy to others.

The biggest blocker for me for 'defaulting' to PyPy is a) issues when dealing with CPython extensions and how quite often it ends up being a significant effort to 'port' more complex applications to PyPy b) the muscle memory for typing 'python3' instead of 'pypy3'.

Very misguided and science denying.

Psychotherapy is about the relationship. This point is of such importance, that in Germany (where psychotherapy is covered by the mandatory health insurance) patients are allowed to have a couple of test sessions with several different therapists and then choose to continue with the one they feel best.

Also - as already pointed out - there’s a multitude of schools or types of psychotherapy (CBT, Psychodynamic, etc.) with statistically significant benefits. Of course, some are more suited for some cases than others. The OP treats psychotherapy as a monolith.

One way to look at it, is, that many people weren’t raised with competent-enough parenting (or mentoring) to acquire the skills to cope with some issues on their own - i.e.: the “just deal with it”. And this is the role of the therapist: not to become a parent, but to play the prosthetic role of a very competent parent, or mentor. So that the patient can increase self-awareness, self-reflection, and emotionally grow into being able to better deal with the situation at hand.

However, perhaps the biggest takeaway message here is that we need to educate Society - as we educate kids to learn to recycle - on how to choose a good therapist, what good therapy feels like, the importance of accredited and evidence-based methods (so people don’t rely on astrology and other quacks for - and therefore avoid properly dealing with - their emotional health needs), as well as, what should NOT happen in therapy sessions.

PS: And also educate about what is black & white thinking ;)
