Well, I was in China at a reunion dinner event with my wife a couple weeks back, and she asked me if I wanted some of some dish, and I said, "Sure, ok," where I said it in a way to really mean, "Not so much, but okay, I'll take a bite just to be polite." (It was my wife's class reunion event.) And it kept on going like that for the next 4 or so dishes, and my wife kept on seeing that I was getting more and more annoyed, so she kept on trying to feed me more, which just meant that I kept on getting more stuff I really didn't want to eat.

There are other times which are the opposite. Like, when I ask my wife if she wants some rice or some porridge, and she says very imperatively. "I will do it myself." She actually means straightforwardly, I am going to do it myself, not that she's displeased with me and that she's not going to accept any token from me and is going to punish me in several small ways now. (Which is what many of my ex-girlfriends would have meant.)

It's actually hard to give examples in a text medium like this, because so much of it is really context and tone of voice.
If big brands aren't prepared to advertise on Twitter why would they integrate it for payments?
No idea. You're probably right.

I do wonder, though, how far the average American is from a place where she can buy alcohol. At least where I am, every gas station has a pretty solid selection of beers and whatnot. Have we already reached optimal convenience?
This is like saying your CV should be an equivalent of a million dollars which you could literally exchange in a bank for money.

In other words, it would be good to clearly show impact - it would be so useful for the reader to have the final result without having to figure that out himself - but unfortunately it's usually hard enough to find good data for such claims, so anybody actually putting them there is automatically suspicious.

Unless, of course, there's a plausible algorithm for getting such data which I'd like to hear.

That seems like the brand side, yes, though I don't place a lot of value on institutional branding (but it seems like I'm in the minority on that on HN, so who knows?)

On the learning side, I really wonder how much you can really learn that way. Maybe some math.

What is your preferred programming style, are you more comfortable with an object oriented or functional approach?

Vue is entirely "class based" and matches more closely with an object oriented style. It is heavily based on the mobX (previously knockout.js) approach to reactive properties on objects.

React, at least the more recent iterations, works best using function components with hooks and adheres to more of a functional programming paradigm (though you can still use class based components, these are no longer what the react team recommend).

After many years of playing with both React and Vue, I personally much prefer a functional approach and prefer React. The "top down" data flow is much more predictable and easier to debug than having derived properties that are dependent on other derived properties that are dependent on other derived properties (etc... you get the idea).

For me, the biggest trade offs for sqlite are just that you need to think about how you're going to store and backup the database a lot more. Specifically in container orchestration environments like kubernetes, I think sqlite presents a couple of challenges. With MySQL, you can set up a replicated database server instance outside of the cluster that you just connect to over the network, and you can use standard MySQL tools like mysqldump to back them up. Kubernetes isn't ideal for stateful workloads so that tends to be one of the more sane solutions there.

With SQlite you need to set up a persistent volume to keep the database around between container restarts, and you need to think of a clever way to then back up that sqlite database to somewhere like S3, likely using an sqlite3 command with a VACUUM statement and then an `aws s3 cp` command, which requires AWS credentials. Overall, a lot of additional work and privileges on the application container, at least in container orchestration environments. In lieu of all that, maybe you trust your persistent volume provisioner enough to try to do an online snapshot, but that always sketches me out / I don't trust the backup enough to rely on it.

Of course you can use a public cloud sqlite service like Cloudflare D1, but I haven't used that solution enough to say if it would be flexible enough to work with, say, an on-prem application server, or if it only works with Cloudflare workers. I'm sure I could find that out in the documentation but I've exhausted my mental stamina for the day with leafing through documentation pages.

Fucking brilliant. It's meant to put out a fire. You grab it by the handle and toss it at the fire. But it contains too little liquid. Anyway, they switched to using Carbon Tetrachloride which is good at smothering flames, except if it is heated to 200 C at which point it turns into phosgene which is a chemical weapon. Brilliant. This was great.
It's an absurd claim because Israel completely pulled out of Gaza in 2005 but was subsequently forced to take measures to defend itself when Hamas started firing rockets at Israel. Egypt is also blockading Gaza, why do you think that is?

Your claim that Hamas should be able to attack Israel with impunity and kill Israelis at will and Israel has no right to self defense is completely absurd. No sovereign state would leave such an attack unanswered and Israel is no different. Regardless of what you think, of course Israel will defend itself.

As to whether it was "made abundantly clear" just because this is your interpretation it doesn't follow that it's abundantly clear. In fact the opposite is abundantly clear, that every state has inherent rights to defend its own citizens from being murdered by hostile armed groups.

Hang weights from reels, underneath, for energy storage: reel them out to generate, reel them back up to store excess for later. Gang dozens of reels on each motor/generator, for economy. (Using just one reel per motor/generator is what makes mineshaft energy storage uneconomical.) Make the weights out of peridotite rock, which is very cheap and 60% denser than most.

Certain places are better for this than others. Offshore of Rhodes, eastern South Korea, Monaco, the Philippines have very deep water not far off shore.

Happy to see Trevor mentioned here. He was one of the great short story writers, and deserves more attention. Also worth mentioning that while most known for his short stories, Trevor's novels (including The Story of Lucy Gault and The Children of Dynmouth) are also fantastic.

> A popular topic on television quiz shows is differences in food, speech, and behavior between eastern and western Japan.

A popular topic on television quiz shows is differences in food, speech, and behavior in various parts or Japan. It's not only Eastern vs. Western. It's prefectures vs. prefectures. Hyogo vs. Fukuoka vs. Akita vs. Ibaraki, vs. etc.

This regionalism is amplified by the fact that there aren't, actually, fully national TV channels (except for NHK, with exceptions for the news).

So for example, I live in Aichi, which is between Kantou and Kansai. The channels I have are: Toukai TV, NHK, Chukyo TV, CBC, Meitele and TV Aichi. They are part of broader networks, so for instance, Toukai TV is "mostly" Fuji TV, Chukyo TV is "mostly" Nippon TV, CBC is mostly TBS, Meitele is "mostly" TV Asahi and TV Aichi is "mostly" TV Tokyo. "Mostly" because they all have local programs or even sometimes programs from Kansai instead of whatever might be on air in Tokyo on the corresponding channels.

To give an example of a program I can watch on Chukyo TV, that can't be seen in Tokyo and some other areas: https://www.ytv.co.jp/iinkai/area/index.html (it's produced by Yomiuri TV, which is from Osaka)

That is from your perspective, everyone think that their culture is the "obviously good one", we value what we were taught to value. You value those traits since you came from that culture, a person from a "show happiness and spread warmth" culture will think that their way is the obviously superior one and that the culture you think is superior is making the worse bleak and depressing so not good at all.

Without knowing you or your partners at all ... I'd expect people to feel uncomfortable because you are not seeing them - you are acting on your "obsession" (to use your word), and not based on them and the attention need, want, when and how, who they are, etc. They could be anyone; it has little to do with them as a person, and that understanding for and compassion for the individual is the whole point of a (healthy, IMHO) relationship.

After seeing two Facebook posts of quite different length each having a "more" link that revealed only a few more words, I came to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with a clean layout and everything to do with the algorithm getting a stronger signal from the user that they're actually reading a given post, not just stalling their doomscroll for unrelated reasons such as an IRL distraction.

If I want to see a little less of a certain type of post, but not to the extreme of unfollowing a given poster, I'll try to avoid clicking "more" in hopes of training the system.
Nah, it went more like this:

1. UberEats didn’t offer alcohol delivery, Drizly did (back in like 2016).

2. Uber acquires Drizly in 2021.

3. UberEats adds alcohol delivery (not sure whether step 2 or 3 happened first, but that’s beside the point).

4. At some point after the acquisition, even if you ordered through Drizly, the final order tracking goes through UberEats. I.e., regardless of which app you use for the order, the tracking link you get through a text to your phone number leads to UberEats tracking. Same with customer service. For both UberEats and Drizly.

5. [where we are at right now] Uber shuts down Drizly.

Makes perfect sense to me, as all the functionality of Drizly got merged and integrated into UberEats, so there is zero reason to use Drizly now. I stopped using it about half a year ago and switched to UberEats for alcohol delivery, because using Drizly felt like using some intermediary in-between app that gets routed to UberEats in the end anyway.
To be clear, I'm happy to also question FDE. In both cases, I can see why some users would need it on a regular basis but I also don't see it as a hard requirement for all users.
Your "has to write code in a small text area, viewing like 4 lines at the time" is a silly exaggeration.

The text area is likely resizable and scrollable.

Their "if your method in Smalltalk is 4 lines you're doing something wrong" is a silly exaggeration.

'Smalltalk "programs" are ensembles of objects, distributed throughout the class hierarchy, that work together by means of message passing produce computations.'

Individual methods tend to be small and without a single large program text beginners had problems finding "the program".

It amazes how many blatantly fraudulent spam twitter accounts there are, with links not even masked behind url shorteners. Every single day I get these accounts liking random comments of mine and these are so bad they can be caught by naive bayes filtering. Here's some examples[0] that all have a ".click" domain and their bios are very clearly spammy.

But I think my favorite is that I have messages that Twitter classified as spam, and that I have reported these profiles, but months later they still exist. Profiles that are even clones![1] What's even more funny is that when I originally got the message from this person twitter would suggest similar profiles and I could see 30 others with the exact same profile picture, all created in the same month, all without any activity, and all with the same pattern of name + random number string.

I agree with the article's point, but I just want to point out here that there's even a far lower bar that these platforms are failing to achieve. If I'm reporting 5 people a week and those profiles still exist months later, clearly the platform is doing something wrong.
