I totally understand that you have to play the game, even if I think the game makes search results worse. Appreciate your consideration and the post itself. (I'm an iOS dev that's made the jump from Obj-C to Swift and now from UIKit to SwiftUI.)
This is so ludicrously naive. Yes there are problems with legacy media - largely related to their plutocratic ownership. No, centralising control of our public discourse and spaces for debate in even fewer hands won’t help fix that problem.

We lose nothing as Musk drives twitter into the ground. We have the potential to gain if federated protocols gain even a small amount of traction because critical mass for their viability may be smaller than we think given the overall increased size of the pie relative to when the first and second mover social media players were founded.

I believe the size difference has to do with the encoding, can’t tell for a fact since you didn’t show that part, but maybe it gets re-encoded when you download it hence the difference.
That's really nice!

Here's a blog post[1] showing how to do something very similar with the Raspberry Pi Pico, which also doesn't have a DAC. I wrote a very simple 4-channel MOD player[2] for the Pico using his sound output code.

Yes, you did. Both blackface and drag performance have particular histories you're intentionally and erroneously conflating. The former is racist in its origin. The latter is not misogynistic in either its origin or contemporaneous performance.
I wish more people saw this dynamic.

The imminent death of anything because "bad people" never quite happens.

It's like "this time we got Trump" narrative: wishful thinking as prediction. It's actually a great indicator that the opposite is a better bet.

Agencies cannot make law. SCOTUS has repeatedly said congress cannot delegate legislative authorities to other agencies. That they do it anyway does not make it constitutional.

This is my primary concern. I want to use Hetzner so badly for important workloads, but just can't stomach the risk (even if it's a small one) of being null-routed.

Which hosting provider would you use today?
Makes sense. For me, I can literally walk to the nearest UPS Store, and the nearest Fedex Store is 10 minutes away by car and ~30 minutes by bicycle. And since I print so infrequently, I can get by without having a printer at home at all.

But yeah, for people who are much further away from a printing location or who print more frequently, it would definitely still make sense to have a home printer.
For some reason I expected this to be akin to the Star Wars Holiday Special, with Keanu and Carrie-Ann trying to deliver gifts by manipulating The Matrix, with Hugo in close pursuit, guest starring Whoopi Goldberg as the oracle.
Is there a 'right way' to run WASM with Kubernetes?
I've experienced many similar incidents – I've been running multiplayer game servers on these "discount" server providers for a while now. They receive umpteen requests per day about spamming, hosting pirating/other illegal content, botnets, etc with only an associated IP address.

Vultr has a nasty habit of forwarding these directly to the current holder of the IP address with a dire warning that your account will be shut down within 24h if no action is taken, regardless of the timestamp of the complaint. Abusers just create & destroy servers frequently frequently to acquire fresh IP addresses to host malicious content on. It became a morning routine of copy+pasta responses to these emails to keep the servers online.

Same for a number of folks in Fairfax Co VA (US ~wealthiest). My best friend's house was typical for the area. Cold running water arrived ~1970. Hot 1982. Outhouses stayed until about 2000.
This resonates with me on many levels. I worked at an Icelandic company for many years and some of my coworkers are like family - I never quite put my finger on why I got so well with Icelandic people, but maybe it's because of this "þetta reddast" attitude - I also have this attitude, though it was something I got in my mid-20s - I used to always think the sky was falling and at some point I realized that it consistently stayed up.
It is kind of amusing to see this presented as a novel concept. This is how all software development worked once upon a time. Computers used to ship with BASIC interpreters, not app stores or package managers.
Moreton Bay? Nah, their home is almost definitely around Ashgrove, Red Hill, Kelvin Grove, Paddington, somewhere around those parts. Suburbs just to the north-west of the CBD, based on having been around those a pile and having seen most of Bluey.

And extrapolating from things that are inevitably close, as listed in https://blueypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Real-Life_Locations

And the buses aren't Translink livery, they're all blue, white, and yellow, so definitely somewhere within BCC, not Moreton Bay Region (although I shouldn't assume you meant the Moreton Bay council).

That said, you could be using Moreton Bay when you really mean SEQLD anywhere north of the Brisbane River, it's been known to happen.
I dunno, that seems to be just shame instilled by the toxicity of certain programmer culture.

I mean, it's not the clearest thing to read but labeling it horrible seems to be a judgement call that's unwarranted. And as software developers, we should create an environment that's less hostile to people who write things in ways we wouldn't.

And honestly, that set of list comprehensions has a bit of a lispy functional vibe, which could quite frankly be applauded in certain contexts.
>Say what you will about Elon, if he ends up driving Twitter into the ground, he'll arguably have done a public service.

I don't know ... Twitter as a news aggregator was (could have been) a public good. I think it was probably the least bad out of the group of: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat
am I also fine if I negligently write and keep using an algorithm to detect and report people for being molesters when I know full well that it's actually shitty and I regularly receive reports that it's resulting in false positives?

That's facebook's situation. Even though they've got hundreds of billions and could easily afford to, they don't want to pay humans to verify these things and they know that innocent people are being hurt by their terrible lazy code, they just don't care.
The theory that Red Hat users are supposed to be paying for development of the system is a recent one. What Red Hat used to say is that the software is free and their users are paying for support.

That made a great deal of sense, as of course Red Hat themselves were shipping a great deal of software written by other people without paying for its development.

There's nothing confusing about people declining to go along with this change.
They also don't do shit about racism.

I had a friend murdered by her boyfriend and because he was black, when the story broke her personal facebook was flooded with racist comments towards her for a while, even years after the incident, one most recently was how she's been "one year clean and sober from mud diving" and hundreds of us have reported those comments for racism and every time Facebook came back saying they don't violate the rules.

But one time I replied to an old lady who was saying bigoted and hateful things towards a trans person with "Thankfully like you, your views will die soon too." and I got 30 day ban for hateful comments.
Your tone is snarls, but presumably you agree that better visibility on Musks failings as a human are net beneficial? Maybe we’re late to the party, but OP said ‘better visibility’ not ‘first inklings’
It's scapegoating driven by ressentiment.

> Elon believes himself accountable to no one and desires absolute unelected power

From your own link in the other comment, it looks like Musk wants the exact opposite?

> Isaacson explained that Musk's decision stemmed from his desire to distance himself from any involvement in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

> However, the situation has taken a turn, with Musk now choosing to hand over both terminals and control to the United States Army. In a candid conversation with Isaacson, Musk expressed his concern about being inadvertently drawn into a war, stating that his primary intent with Starlink was to provide people with entertainment, not to contribute to a potential nuclear conflict.
Hetzner is so good, but so bad at the same time.

Even when it's working their peering to half the world is absolute shite.
Drag is men dressing up as caricatures of women. They wear costumes intended to represent women and mimic female bodies, adopt a 'woman' persona under a feminised and often heavily sexualised name, and act out every demeaning, offensive stereotype of women for laughs, often leaning heavily on mocking women's bodies and the physical experiences exclusive to women: pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, menstruation, and sometimes even abortion. Then they take off those costumes and get to go about their lives as men when they aren't doing this, without having to live under those same stereotypes they helped perpetuate for fun or money. Meanwhile, women are expected to laugh, clap along and celebrate this insult. This mockery of women isn't exactly subtle.

So, please explain the reasoning behind your belief that drag is not misogynistic.
That's awesome! I love seeing new SaaS boilerplates being developed. ShipFlask looks really promising and has some great features.

I don't see any tangible reputational damages here. No one seems to have read this except Digital Ocean (?)

And Netcraft sincerely believed that this was a criminal-activity website. That is not libel! Untrue statements without malice (or a very severe amount of negligence) are not defamatory in the US. You are allowed to accuse people of things—that is protected speech.
I'm not sure that's accurate.

> They are far too well-studied to hold any significant surprises

This statement is absurd. The vast majority of research is (1) funded by industry, (2) focused on how plastic can be used in industry, and (3) not focused on biological aspects.

The actual research on endocrine effects of plastics show it has a clear negative effect [0].

> EDCs are chemicals that disturb the body’s hormone systems and can cause cancer, diabetes, reproductive disorders, and neurological impairments of developing fetuses and children. The report describes a wealth of evidence supporting direct cause-and-effect links between the toxic chemical additives in plastics and specific health impacts to the endocrine system.

You can skip the uninstall if you use purge.

Agree and wish there was something that could be done against such business practices, but it is indeed difficult to regulate.

Over the years I became aware that the acquire-extinguish pattern was definitely not just a coincidence, specifically i remember disney bought up some 'IP' just to litigate against some adjacently-related online fan game in the UK in order to shut it down and 'acquire' its captives, over to a similar product they already owned. Sorry I looked for the exact reference but cant find. There are countless other stories if you look though.

This all came full circle when I was 'enlightening' a young relative who had just finished business school, or rather she 'learned' me. Turns out this acquire/extinguish game is like a whole 100-level course in <pick-your-business-school-of-america>. Who knew.
Yes, I don’t know exactly what it’d entail but enabling sideloading really does need to be something that’s sufficiently scary to the non-technical to help curb social engineering by fake “Microsoft support” and such.

It’s somewhat painful and inconvenient but the old desktop OS model where arbitrary code can not only be run at a whim, but also gets free reign to do whatever it pleases simply doesn’t scale to the masses. It was a problem even prior to smartphones but has only gotten worse as larger swathes of the population have come aboard.

No idea where you are or where you're referring to, but there's a lot of cultural variation out there in the legal code; some jurisdictions around the world are much more "free speech absolutist" on what rises to the label of death threat, where some others are very strict. In the context of a public-forum-esque discussion website it's possible language that isn't specific and actionable isn't a death threat by the letter of the law. To spitball, a report of misbehavior that's legally actionable in a place where it's "just" a t.o.s. violation might get sent to the wrong support team, and then kicked back as possible report spam, by a busy reviewer who's judged for their next pay raise by how well they kept the company they work for out of hot water with the local DA. Maybe you'd see better results under a generic harassment report or similar? Such is the world we('ve always) live(d) in. The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is its inefficiency.
I still believe that this was the intention all along and doing it in such a way that it would be blamed on incompetence and not hostility. If he had announced he was going to buy the platform to shut it, there would've been much more of a backlash. Now it just gets diluted more and more until it dies naturally and the effect on free speech will be the same. It's not his money so he can play the long game.

> "No. Demographics can show you with extremely small error bars the aggregate health effects of smoking and (heavy) drinking. If there was an effect of that magnitude from other variables, we'd know for sure. Microplastics and pthalates and other related contaminants are real, and deserve study."

How can you be so confident that a) the effects would be so clear, and b) we'd know for sure the cause of those effects was microplastics?

We have an increase in early onset cancer, since the 1990s, more than can be explained by just earlier detection: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41571-022-00672-8

and "There is a mysterious epidemic of kidney disease called chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) that is occurring in many parts of the world. Unrelated to known risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension, CKDu mostly affects the young and middle-aged" - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8437007/

and "Driven principally by aging [...] For most of human history, Parkinson has been a rare disorder. However, demography and the by-products of industrialization have now created a Parkinson pandemic" - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30584159/

And the obvious ones like heart disease - if you can claim a group of diseases are caused by "old age" and another group by "obesity and bad diet" - would we know if microplastics were a cause, an exacerbator, a trigger?
I'm a New Yorker subscriber. The existence of this editorial and the fact someone there thought it was fit to publish is exactly why I'm so glad Twitter is slowly failing. I hope journalists break their addictions soon. Twitter was a net negative to every event mentioned in the article, and yet here's the author eulogizing it like a martyr.

"the [Twitter employees] I knew—they worked hard, their work mattered, and they never stopped trying. Not until the moment their screens went blank.”

The three claims in here are all true, but not in a positive way. I expect Twitter to go down in history with Thalidomide or DDT. Many people worked very hard on those with the best of intentions, but ultimately, they were poison.

A recent life lesson I learned: removing a source of unhappiness doesn't make one happy, but it does enable happiness. You can't be happy while you have a source of unhappiness so removing the source of unhappiness is the necessary first step. But adding a source of happiness is a required second step.

> People use a certain app to book train tickets even its UI sucks hard and it asks 100 permissions unnecessarily

It's worth questioning why this is, as often as you can. We have a wallet app / payment system on most mobile devices that is card agnostic and gets better interfaces. Meanwhile, other services have to make do until a big player like Amazon or Ticketmaster comes along, consolidates the industry and starts charging high rents.
Frankly, I think this kind of thinking is short-sighted quarterly corporate bullshit almost certainly done by IBM and Redhat itself would never have done it (and most of the people who were Redhat in those days left to work somewhere else). How many corporate environments the world over are running on Redhat, paid Redhat, because the engineers there came up in the Linux world learning free Redhat and were able to continue using CentOS at home or in their dev environments? That sort of cradle-to-grave brand identity with people who eventually become high-level decision-makers and money controllers is invaluable, but the value is also impossible to quantify, accountants never se it, and instead just see people trying to use all of their hard work for free.

Yet somehow even Pablo Escobar understood this and threw away billions just giving money to poor people to keep cities on his side. I'm not even going to say IBM's basic business model of making shit that works, doing at least some complex things reliably and well back when that was very difficult, is invalid. But it is fundamentally different to Redhat's business model, which was simply cultivating a lifelong love of their product in the minds of its users. It's like the Army acquiring the Red Cross. They work in a lot of the same places doing overlapping work and no doubt a lot of corporate synergy could be achieved and administrative overhead eliminated, but it would irreparably destroy a century and a half of goodwill and brand identity. Exactly the kind of strategy you'd expect from people whose decision consequence horizon extends no further than the next three reporting periods.

Great way of looking at programming. It really is just another way to create, akin to drawing or writing, and it feels as if we almost desecrate it by treating it the way we do. Inspiring article.
