Community notes get displayed right underneath the tweet they’re correcting. Probably the most unique thing about them (relative to most other forms of correction/warning/note/reply/discussion on the internet) is they have almost the same visibility and reach as their subject, ie pretty much anyone who sees the original tweet will also see the note.

I get questions from friends and family, and explaining anything requires me to walk through settings in advance, and with all the changes, it’s a wild ride.

Main things:

You really have to search and decode the results, because items seem randomly placed, and even walking menu trees often fails (Oh, it’s in accessibility).

Crazier, Mac apps have their own settings/preferences, which are strongly affected by system settings, whereas iOS apps mostly use system settings, but some have their own, as in a three dot menu …

But the winner is the Mac Mail app, which has an accounts menu, as does system settings (née preferences)

I find their IdeaVim plugin basic, but it complements the IDE very well. Felt it’s best compare to others like Vs Code’s.

What do you not like about it?
Most video game bugs are subtle and not things that are easy to catch with unit testing because they are dynamic systems with many interacting parts. The interaction is where the bugs come from.

QA processes do a good job catching the rest.
It seems to me that the default-delete is the real WTF. Why would a blank field result in a default auto-delete in any sane world. The delete should be opt-in not opt-out.
ICQ was my first interaction with computers proper as a kid. My father had just started as a programmer; and the family just got a computer with a Windows 95. Father sets up ICQ so that we can chat and send new year greetings, when he is away fro business. Good times.
I am not convinced of the argument that games change a lot.

I do buy the argument that the trade off between effort and value is different, but that's because it's harder to unit test user interactions than it is to unit test a physics engine.

It's more or less the reason in the early life of the web few did end to end testing involving browsers, or unit tested iOS apps in the first releases of the iPhone.

> I'm still paranoid that Spotify will disappear one day and I'm afraid to lose my older music collection.

Services eventually disappear. Not many people recall about Vitaminic, a gem of the early 2K that along MySpace gave countless unknown artists and bands the opportunity to put their music online, then one day poof! and it was gone with all its content. I had saved a few quite interesting tracks on my hard drive and attempted to search for the artists in the hope they moved elsewhere, but no way: they were gone forever.
So, screw online services: I'm not going to waste any energy in something whose kill switch is in someone else's hand.
They mention something called Singularity which makes their environment "one file". That sounded kind of interesting but totally ungoogleable just based on the name.

I've never seen Defender re-enable itself, provided that tamper detection is turned off in addition to the other stuff (in group policy and whatnot). Have you made sure to do that? And are you on 10 or 11?
Are you using a neovim distro? I think the broken things only applies for automated setups. I use Vim instead of neovim, but my plugins set is pretty minimal. Most of my config is Vim-related, then a couple of options for the plugins. I instead use the terminal for most stuff.

> Maybe someone could snapshot a stable state of NeoVim + some popular plugins and release as some sort of LTS

Vim Plug (and maybe other plugins managers) can handle tags, branches, and commits references for versioning.
Why not? Because you won't know what of your strategies is outmoded by something new because that group is not publishing their strategy, which is like yours but on steroids, either.

And then everything regresses to the Dark Forest game theory.
> Ozempic is not the only drug that suppresses appetite

If there were a drug that is equally as effective with the same or fewer downsides, then it would've been just as popular for that use case already.

Someone else mentioned nicotine. There are still a lot of "unsuccessful" nicotine users compared to Ozempic.
I believe the outrage is not about how good this particular 'martyr' is but because he was found guilty by the same system that decides when a person can reasonably use deadly force in a state that has laws specifically designed to 'stand your ground' and even then he was found guilty by a jury of his peers.

So with everything going for him he was still found guilty, so now someone can undo all of that just because they feel like it?. This spits in the face of the entire state and its judicial system.
That "not that much" easily turns into months or years of migration once you put enough data into it. Cloud providers are showering startups with credits not due to their inherent kindness - they know once you're in it's tough to move out and you are seriously downplaying the amount of effort and costs involved here.
> put on a path to question

You’re not really talking about the effects of a thought: you’re talking about changes in behavior (questioning, taking medication, etc.).

Suppose I asked you, “are you really sure your spouse isn’t cheating on you?” You may find this idea unsettling because the honest answer is no: nobody can be sure of this.

Some people would shrug it off and say “I can’t be sure, but I don’t think so.” And they would move on and forget about it. Other people will drive themselves crazy trying to get to the answer, even to the point of damaging the relationship with the spouse.

The difference between the two is not the idea (spouse could be cheating) but the reaction to the idea. This is actually what psychotherapy is for, to teach you how to react to thoughts and feelings in ways that aren’t destructive.
Sure, it's just not as good as Ozempic at doing that particular job.
I've heard the same story about a telephone line in Marlborough: back in the black&white analogue times.

The story being that king tides were getting a connection wet near the shore and causing problems.
Yes, just to reiterate: it's snobbery, I'm pretty sure. Do you think that's an insult? I could sugar-coat it: probably the snobs involved are lovely people, and I can't control their preferences. And I shouldn't have started mentioning insults, that kind of meta-comment is always a distraction. I see what I took to be a direct parody of me with "I'm the only smart one" was actually a quote from the tiresome hooks-in-your-brain article.
There were even some tools that showed you the IP, the "real status" and etc. of your contacts. The 9 year old me have felt like the greatest hacker of all time when using those tools :)

I know there are many much smarter devs than me out there, but I dedicated 5 full days over Christmas break last year to NixOS, trying to configure it and use it for development, and I failed.
People differ, fields differ. I am a professional scientist too, when I go for a deep dive into a topic, I read 5-6 papers a day and take notes.

I stopped reading comics and started to just read interesting papers from adjacent fields a few years ago. Nature and Science are nice examples, most people I know treat these as entertainment magazines ( unless of course they get a paper in, than it’s the ist important thing ever).

Quality of publications varies a lot, but PNAS, Cell, IEEE are usually good sources and as long as one avoids purely computational studies one is usually on the safe side. Few people fake their experimental dat.
Do you think the spirit of that rule is to bludgeon someone with it?
I used PopOS for a long time ~1.5 years. There were two main issues:

- My Asus laptop couldn't sleep or hibernate. It would just be fully on, or shut down. This wasted a lot of battery.

- The wifi reception was always too low. I needed to be very close to the router or couldn't establish a meaningful connection. This was not to inconvenient as I use the same desk always.

There were many other minor issues, too.

So, I left PopOS about 8/9 months ago, and jumped to Ubuntu. These problems went away. It works perfectly.

Only problem is they showing me Ubuntu Pro ad on every sudo apt upgrade. Other than that it's really good. Absolutely zero problems or inconvenience. No need to babysit it. I have zero problems with NVIDIA drivers. It is as convenient and worry-free as Windows or MacOS.

I used Linux Mint when I was in college. It is another no-BS, no babysitting needed distro. But it sometimes gave me driver problems which I needed to fix.

I also used Manjaro for a while. It's a good one.

You could use Kubuntu. It is Ubuntu with KDE as the DE. It has really good graphics.
Why five years? I have plenty of consumer electronics including phones, tablets, laptops, and computers that keep on trucking well past five years. Why should anything be turned into junk until it's absolutely necessary?

The point is, I OWN the device. It's mine. If I can find someone with the expertise to keep it running past its intended life, that should be looked at favorably. But Apple, Samsung, and many other companies are actively preventing feasible repairs based on unreasonable and arbitrary cooked-up "company policies." Attaching serial numbers to parts and making them inoperable until they're blessed by the manufacturer is a racket and everyone knows it.

If I can manage to keep my iPad working as a photo frame for another 40 years, how does that hurt anyone?

Sure, it's the tone and content of their response that is worrying, more than the fact that an incident happened. An honest and transparent root cause analysis with technically sound and thorough mitigations, including changes in policy with regard to defaults. Their response seems like only the most superficial, bare-minimum approximation of an appropriate response to deleting a large customer's entire account. If I were on the incident response team I'd be strongly advocating for at lease these additional changes:

Make deletes opt-in rather than opt out. Make all large-scale deletions have some review process with automated tests and a final human review. And not just some low-level technical employee, the account managers should have seen this on their dashboard somewhere long before it happened. Finally, undertake a thorough and systematic review of other services to look for similar failure modes, especially with regard anything which is potentially destructive and can conceivably be default-on in the absence of a supplied configuration parameter.
I have used Debian for over a decade now. Back then, there was a lot of configuration stuff. These days, barely much - at least on my thinkpad. Everything works out of the box, and software defaults are pretty decent.

Last time I had to play with the system a bit, was when pipewire was introduced, and I had to create a config for it to nicely connect to my bluetooth earphones. I guess that was 3 years ago.
I have skepticism regarding the 'completeness' of SAE in comprehensive discovery of features:

For complex scenarios (i.e. the user interacting with the UI while there are some long-running processes in the backround doing this, too), managing the state quickly gets unwiedly: You need to write callback code everywhere that carefully has to inspect the current status of all other activities and might then updates 10s of widgets accordingly.

With the reactive approach you are able to write a single rendering function that describes the interface for any given state and the framework takes care of the rest (when to call that function, what "input" to give it).

It's just way easier to wrap my head around this and after working with React it is hard to go back. Hence the experiment to see if something comparable could be done in Go.

Having worked with several systems using both modules and micro services I would say that using modules is the way to go from a debugging and understandability perspective, so modules are a more productive method.

However micro services can still be valid but to me they are actually “developer UI” and should only be used when services have to be shared between developers who don’t know each other. For example a public API will almost always be an API with a micro service behind it

Is it having the information that is harmful, or the actual facts of life that you are being informed about that is harmful?

The Internet has basically shed light on a lot of common practices and uncomfortable truths that could be swept under the rug during the 20th century mass-production, mass-consumption, mass-culture, and mass-communication era. I'd argue that the real evil isn't knowing that your politicians are screwing you - it's them screwing you. Similarly, the real evil isn't knowing that we're all about to get fucked by climate change, it was the 100 years of industrial policy that brought us to this point. It isn't knowing about all the wars and the terrible stuff going on around the world, it's the wars and terrible stuff in the first place.

The Internet is going to lead to the destruction of society as we know it, but I'd argue that that society - the post-Industrial, post-Colonial, post-urban wasteland we've been living in since the 19th century - should never have existed in the first place.

Yes part of this does smell of hype. While some of the AI research has been groundbreaking, its not a revolutionary thing. We have had chatbots and computer vision for a long time. This reminds me of all the hype and scaremongering around deepfakes which while have been misused, it turns out the largest users of the are the VFX and entertainment industry.

There is a mental health cost to trauma and to dealing with very distressing ideas. Even if you heal from trauma (and not everyone does), the consequences of having gone through that experience will be a part of your story. People are often better off not having that be the case.

I have experience with trauma that made me depressed for about a decade. I've gotten over it to some extent, not entirely. But at the minimum, I lost a decade of my life. I would have been better off not losing a decade of education, career progression, friendships, pursuing adult prerogatives, and similar.

If a teenage person becomes depressed due to social media, they will pay the cost of not forming friendships and not being able to engage with education in that period of their life forever. These costs will be both mental and economical.

Certain knowledge like self-doubt or conviction that one has no self-worth (and some come not only from abuse but from certain reasonably commonly held beliefs in society) can cause a lot of chronic mental disorders — anxiety, depression, insomnia, various dysfunctions, etc.

Finally, consuming an always-online diet of doomscrolling can make someone's worldview so skewed that they will pay significant social costs.

I do believe there is a type of knowledge that will cause harm to someone for a time, or forever. It could even be a certain thought that becomes difficult to challenge. This is why there are therapists, who nowadays commonly treat people exclusively with challenging ideas, like with the CBT modality.

I think, to an extent, society will help someone recover after trauma or after going off the deep end, but that extent is not very large. Society is also quick to abandon people it deems beyond worth saving.

Blameless (and nameless) postmortems are a cultural thing at google
I don't think it's there to mislead someone on purpose, I just think people feel uncomfortable pointing out Texas is killing people that are innocent and thus end up not pointing it out or accidentally making things sound like "oh no, Texas is going to make a mistake they don't normally make!"

It is clear that it is meant the shaken baby syndrome is what is the first here, but still it could be taken the other way, and it ends up downplaying how contemptible the State's actions are, even though the poster really wants to highlight that.

I guess I would prefer something like -

"Texas, continuing its tradition of executing innocent people, will for the first time use the dubious science of Shaken Baby Syndrome as its cause."

It's not just the post, everybody does it whenever they say "Texas might execute an innocent person" they ignore that Texas has executed people that were extremely likely to be innocent (so likely that it is reasonable just to describe them that way - in case anyone has problems with my phrasing here)

You're factually incorrect: people who are already on a path of questioning their gender and then resolve it by deciding that they are transgender experience lower levels of depression and suicide, and those who receive gender-affirming surgery experience lower levels further:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8082431/

Your error is a form of Simpson's Paradox: the population that decides to go through with gender-affirming surgery is at significantly higher rates of depression & suicidal ideation to begin with, because it's not easy to feel that your gender is different from how the rest of society perceives you. Within that population, though, people who make a decision one way or another do significantly better than those who just live with the stress and ambiguity of their secret.
