> That balance can certainly result in tragedy when people make horrible choices.

The thing is, someone may not be rational enough to make that choice. I’ve been suicidal in the past. Reasoning goes out the window and you can easily make a decision you never wanted to make. You simply can’t choose to stay alive any longer.

I’ve lost a friend because they couldn’t hold out long enough for things to get better. They killed themselves because of a temporary situation they could have easily recovered from.

I’ve saved a friend by preventing him from going down that route. It took over a year for him to be healthy. He doesn’t want to die now.

I’m always going to side with stopping people from suicide until they’ve had a chance to be mentally sound enough to make an informed decision.

There have been people I’ve known who did make that decision and did so rationally. All of them had medical conditions they could never recover from without divine intervention. In their case, they wanted to spare themselves and others from a long, painful death. They should be able to make that choice.

The design of any library for a microcontroller and an "equivalent" for general end user application is going to be different in pretty much every major design point. I'm not sure how this is any more relevant to fmt than it is just general complaining out in the open.

The code for an algorithm like Dragonbox or Dragon4 alone is already blowing your size budget, so the "optional" stuff doesn't really matter. And that's 1 of like 20 features people want.
This is really cool. I’m shipping a side project soon and this made me rethink the preview.
yyy but also remember survivor bias: for every AirBnB, there's dozens of companies whose founders ran them into the ground for all the usual reasons, of which "lack of scaling" is both a lazy umbrella and also a subset of the failure modes, including burnout, malfeasance, pivoting too quickly or too slowly, etc.

Consider the famous Osbourne Effect[1], so named after a founder who blew it spectacularly.

Or how about the famous fraudsters whose schemes got so large because they lacked basic controls? (Ponzi to Madoff, but also Elizabeth Holmes and SBF)

Or how about Jack Welch (GE) and David Calhoun (Boeing), lauded for years until their damage came to light?

Comparing Platform Engineering and DevOps
The HannsNote2 is such an interesting piece of tech I am extremely interested it's one of those situations where its just one or two features away from being a killer product IMO.

Having a back/frontlight, bigger battery and faster CPU could turn it into the ultimate tablet for what I'm looking for.

I can settle for weaker CPU, I'd need to try it in person to test whether I can live without a light (hard to know just how much ambient light you need to use it indoors at night comfortably) but the battery I think is too short especially if you factor in natural degradation too. For me it means I'll always be worried about charging it or tethered to a cable and spontaneous usage always requires diligent charging. Stuff like train journeys and plane rides are all then also dependent on the power bank

That is, the medication doesn't improve anything per se. The problem is obesity and diabetes. The medication does not perform better than these not being present at all.

The presume diabetes - sans T1 - is a norm is false if not dangerous. In other words, "Sure just throw more meds at it" is not a narrative anyone should be comfortable with.

Unlike JVM byte code, CPython byte code is not a stable target. It can and does change from one minor version to the next.

So far, it has remained recognisable from one version to the next - someone used to reading (disassembled) CPython 2.7 bytecode would feel right at home reading CPython 3.11 bytecode, for example. But there's no guarantee that it will remain so, and with the faster-cpython project going on, we should probably expect it to change more in the future than we've been used to.

This is a pretty fantastic breakdown of UX and UI design, both for porting to SwiftUI but also to smaller screens.

There’s obviously room for polish left but this looks so well thought out already.

I am interested in how this might find its way back to Godot proper. Would the team be willing to maintain not only one more target but also an entirely different UI frontend?

I am also curious if this could become the native macOS frontend. Even if that’s behind a compile time flag, that’s a very powerful option for accessibility.

Lastly, GPL incompatibility aside, I wonder if this could inspire a similar effort for Blender. Blender on iPad would be an amazing value addition.

Not mentioned directly in article, but America’s puritanical/religious history often manifests itself in a lot of these kinds of decisions. I still can’t buy liquor or even shop for a car on Sunday because the powers that be would prefer I was at church.
> So he's merely an equal and opposite reaction

> He bought a powerful propaganda tool/weapon and aimed it in the opposite direction.

I'd say not. I don't think twitter itself wasn't aimed directly in any direction before Musk, other than “away from where firing may cause twitter problems”. They operated from a position of cowardice rather than political bias.

Sometimes this was towards the right because there was a fairly centrist or centre-left¹ bias online, but it often very much wasn't. For a clear case of them not aiming at the right, look at them leaving Trump and many like him alone at a time when they were flagrantly going against twitter policies, but slapping them for that would have caused too much grief back at them. It may be a complete coincidence², but Musk first started getting really serious about taking over around the time twitter started cracking down on that group (having joked about it prior to that IIRC, though it did take over a full year for his first actual takeover bid to happen).

----

[1] These definitions are difficult. Often what America seems to see as centre-left or even actually moderate left, is things that many over this side of the big pond would see as more centrist.

[2] Though I strongly suspect not.
Musk is a good example of this. Amazing visionary; also extremely toxic.
To make that popular, there would have to be at least some guarantee that bytecode distributed to another system can run there.

However, AFAIK, Python currently makes no guarantee at all about bytecode compatibility between versions, and there are no plans to change that.
You can "be from Brazil" and still not understand the matter. Legal decisions are not a matter of "I agree" or "I disagree". They are a matter of law and facts.

How exactly was the judge's decision here not in accordance with the law?

I'm not "a part of the government base" and I happen to think this decision was lawful. Don't assume everyone who disagrees with you is doing so for political reasons. It would be too shallow to do so.
Well, yeah. Nobody actually wants a true free market system, no matter how much libertarians and anarchocapitalists may scream that that’s exactly what they want. If they got their way, the whole planet would become a dystopian nightmare, with no safety for anyone but the top handful richest people, and every single tragedy of the commons possible occurring, polluting the earth to the point of unusability. The only reason they claim to want it, is because of either greed, complete lack of empathy, or willful ignorance.

The only possible way to have a society is to have regulations.

That's a stretch. They could have decided twitter was non compliant and started treating them a little less gently but would they order content be removed or issue fines or some other direct punishment? Probably not.

Good faith meaning they believed the analysis of likely disinformation was correct and not politically motivated.
In Germany, there is a very related term called Mittelstand [1], which denotes long-standing businesses with similar values of nimbleness and long-term focus, instead of short-term gains as in manager-mode companies.

These businesses usually don't grow that much, but they are very stable over time, even across economic downturns, because the owners/founders think long term.

Color me intensely skeptical. The actual neural processing absolutely corresponds with the content of thoughts. So you’re saying the experience of consciousness is something unrelated to that, yet necessarily linked through some unspecified mechanism? Because clearly the experience of consciousness depends on the content of what we are thinking and how, and is affected by things like neurotransmitter concentrations (emotional affects) which would be inaccessible to large-scale brainwave phenomena.

What is your motivation for believing this?
Maybe that's something. Maybe goodwill would be more effective when laundered through existing family connections. Surely someone in the midst of the famine has family in the US. Maybe support groups should be working directly with family members in wealthier countries, and then resources hand delivered to family members living in impoverished areas who can then distribute the resources through their local networks. Rather than just drop shipping a bunch of boxes full of food or whatever.

Let the heroes be local heroes, not just some abstract alien organization that no one has any social connection to.
He's going the other route - lower costs. He got rid of the overwhelming majority of staff, moved (or is moving?) the HQ out of San Francisco and California - meaning lower costs + lower tax, and so on. So while revenue has decreased, so have costs. In later 2023 he stated that it was expected for Twitter to be profitable early in 2024. Given there was no follow up announcement I doubt this goal was achieved, but it does suggest that it's probably quite close to being in the black. And that's quite good for a company which was only made profit 2 years in its entire existence.
A founder is inherently more motivated than any manager or employee. Thus, the more hands-on the founder can be with as many employees as possible, the more that motivation will propagate throughout the company.

The managerial perspective is "just pay people more to motivate them" or otherwise "strong vision will motivate".

But paying someone more (at least beyond a class threshold) is only likely to motivate them in the short term. After a few months, they go back to hedonistic baseline.

"Strong vision" is just corpo-speak for corpo-speak. Real vision comes from a founder pushing as many sides of the company as possible, often by example rather than meetings.

Interestingly, our United States seems to have this problem. Genius and scrappy founders establish a government now overtaken by incompetent suits.

It may be the natural way of things. Success leads to complacency leads to incompetence. Eventually new players take over and the cycle repeats. Creative destruction and all that.
What's happening in Pakistan has no bearing on what's happening in Brazil. Just because "twitter is banned" in both countries doesn't mean it was banned for the same reasons or that the ban applies in the same way.
Define “often”. Did you know that Elon isn’t chairman of the board of Tesla?

Also no, chairman isn’t only accountable to themselves. Where did you read that? Investor having seats on board is so they can have a voice in the direction of the business.

Activists investors often try to have a minority stake and a board member so they can force changes at the company -[0]. A recent example is Elliott’s effort at Southwest Airlines -[1]

I'm a victim of nothing but constant gaslighting from people like you.

I'm not hallucinating the fact that the "fake news" law was rejected by our representatives, or the fact that these same judges rammed them through anyway via electoral court "resolutions". I know what I saw and I won't have people denying it or calling it "fake news". You don't need to be a lawyer to understand this.

Whether Twitter is good or bad for society is completely irrelevant and I will not argue with you over it.

Then you know that this is nonsense:

> have seen less success than we have financially and in terms of community growth metrics.

You're barely starting to pick up speed, and there are so many ways left for you to fail. Much of your recent growth is due to Elixir starting to implement types but not having really arrived yet—sparking interest in the competitor who already has them. How long do you think you can ride that wave?

You've come off in this thread as rather arrogant and self assured, which are good traits for a lone wolf but dangerous traits for a community leader. I've been on the fence on whether to adopt Gleam, but I've honestly seen enough here to know that it's not worth investing the time right now. You may course correct and save the project, but the way you talk about your success as though it's something you achieved in the past through your own efforts doesn't make me think it's likely.

You've also likely seen enough of me to know that I'm not someone you'd want in your community, so I'm content at this point to part paths amicably.
Sure, but there are also microcontrollers with a lot more space. This probably won’t ever usefully target the small ones, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful in the space at all.
You have to wonder how privileged developers are. Documentation and communication are essential for the job yet nothing much happens if it’s not done properly. („Programmers are bad writers.“ is an valid excuse)

Compare this to a painter who refuses to wash out their brushes - that’s „uninspiring“ work, so not going to do it. No one would excuse a painter by saying: he can’t wash out brushes.

Writing and documenting are skills that can be learnt, there isn’t anything that makes you a born „writer“ or „developer“ - one can easily enough do both.

> In order for delete[] to work, C++ must track the allocation size somewhere.

That is super-interesting, I had never considered this, but you're absolutely right. I am now incredibly curious how the standard library implementations do this. I've heard normal malloc() sometimes colocates data in similar ways, I wonder if C++ then "doubles up" on that metadata. Or maybe the standard library has it's own entirely custom allocator that doesn't use malloc() at all? I can't imagine that's true, because you'd want to be able to swap system allocators with e.g. LD_PRELOAD (especially for Valgrind and stuff). They could also just be tracking it "to the side" in some hash table or something, but that seems bad for performance.
So you're coping. That's fine, just make sure you never use Android and discover how green the grass is on the other side. AOSP has fewer ads than iOS in it, and that's just an unfortunate fact.

The point of Starliner is not simply to get a manned crew to space, it is to implement a reusable ship. People forget that Starliner lands in the desert and is reusable.
