>All i have ever seen on Twitter was posturing and sniping. The fact that many folks consider social media propagation of one-sided polemics posing as news does not persuade me of the value of this sewage flow of emotion and bile.

Then you've been looking very selectively. Also, do you include left-leaning and often hysterically hateful rants by left progressives and the hardcore woke in your idea that Twitter is mostly full of posturing, sniping and one-sided polemics?

Twitter, or now X, certainly has plenty of people doing the above from the right of the so-called spectrum, but it also has many doing the same from the left, and it used to have even more of them (people already seem to forget what kind of identity politics Twitter used to be famous for before being owned by Musk.)

Or does your specific worldview not recognize that such emotional, hysterically ideological attitudes also exist from the left?

>Using the weaknesses of democracy to destroy the democratic world

Another classic from many opponents of Trump (aside from whether one favors him or not, because many who aren't of the left also dislike him) The idea that those who do favor him are automatically "destroying" the democratic world".

Implicit behind this is the notion that democratic processes should only be allowed to count if they give majority votes to people and ideas you happen to favor, and if they don't, then well, democracy is suddenly a danger and those who used it for a certain voter mandate are dangerous ignorants who need their betters to tell them how to think.

>I do not see any positive side to Twitter or Facebook circa 2024.

Really? Nothing? So I suppose the many supporters of the progressive left and their pages/accounts on Facebook and Twitter are also negative?

>I find it disturbing that those who seek to destroy our society is running it.

Have you even paid the least attention to the specific things that many people support from candidates like Trump? For many of them, a rejection of obsessive identity politics and mistrusting claims about immigration or the economy that don't ring true are staples, and far from being unreasonable ideas that mean the end of society.

It's absurd how many people share your apparently, blindly one-side views, while attributing all evils to the supposedly monstrous other side, and then complain about how one-sidedness has taken over politics. Funny too.
And people that speak say, Chinese and American English, don’t have two different cultures?

For a side project I created a new account on X and on Bluesky, both before the election.

Bluesky asks what my interests are. I said software engineering, science and tech. Bluesky showed a lot of posts of cool space photos.

X asks me to follow an account from a list. I chose NASA. Out of curiosity I checked out the "For you" tab on this brand new account. I did not get recommended space photos. X pushed a lot of political posts, some bordering on hate speech (one used the n-word).

I don't quite know what explains the differences between the new-account experiences, but I had a much better time on Bluesky. I don't know if this will last, or if Bluesky is destined to follow in Twitter's footsteps once more people start joining, but I think right now Bluesky is in a good spot.
It is definitely a weird cultural thing. I can speculate a bit.

It might have some roots in social well fare. But I've also lived in Sweden and Finland which have a very different attitude towards building tech companies. Especially Finland is quite successful at doing startups and scaleups. Especially considering its small population. And of course both countries have a strong social well fare culture. And Germany is actually fairly conservative on the spectrum. E.g. minimum wage did not even exist here until fairly recently. State pensions aren't that great, etc. I'm from the Netherlands originally, our social security is a lot better and more efficient. And so is our economy, infrastructure, healthcare system and all the other things that are clearly very broken and neglected in Germany. It's very visible when you cross the border. The state of the roads is very different on both sides of the border. That's true for most countries that border Germany.

Germans just seem very reluctant to change anything. There's a lot of hesitation doing anything. That's also why their infrastructure is such a mess. Big investments are risky. So they prefer not to. Their default attitude to almost anything is "no". Modernizing anything is frowned upon. So they still bank like it's the nineteen eighties, which is stupidly annoying. They stubbornly stick with a lot of paper based processes. And they employ a lot of pencil pushers, accountants, lawyers, etc. that actually rely economically on things not changing.

And of course they refuse to modernize rules that flat out barely make any sense. It's always been this way, it can't be that bad, etc. They are very proud of keeping their national debt low. But that also means they've been neglecting their infrastructure for decades. Which is now affecting them economically.

The way out would be massive investments. But that requires changes they are not comfortable making. So they are just dilly dallying and going around in circles.

With startup culture, their own rules are stopping foreigners from investing in their german companies. Too hard. too risky, etc. That's irrational. They should be welcoming that cash. Not putting up lots of obstacles. That money would go directly into their economy. But instead it's going elsewhere. Lots of German companies with their headquarters in Amsterdam, Dublin, London, etc.

When people say "well then leave" it means "stop complaining". So of course that's what was said.

No. What's really backwards is your jingoism here. That's entirely uncalled for. Countries aren't sports teams. Trying to argue that either the EU or the US is more "backwards" than the other is an idiotic conversation to have. So please take your backwards attitudes elsewhere -- this isn't the place for them.

I don't know, watching how USA's elections unfold with ads I don't see much real information, it's a whole lot of noise with ads not beholden to any kind of truth. One can claim anything in those ads, attack politicians not even based on what they say or what their platform states as far as it's not clear cut libel and/or defamation, plaster some fearmongering and lies on an ad and run with it to damage opponents.

The less noise there's for this kind of bullshit, the better. I'm really happy that every place I've lived so far doesn't have more sources of noise during elections.
America is so neurotic
"Information" is not what's being presented in YouTube ads. And non-incumbents/non-oligarchs can't afford to run those ads anyways.

Will just say, there are many different causes of Deafness. And therefore outcomes vary a lot depending on what the exact condition is. If the issue is with the auditory nerve for example, cochlear implants won't solve anything. And the whole debate can go in some other direction entirely.

On a parallel track, I've been continually amazed at how even as someone interested in broad musical categories, how many bands I've never heard of who were 'mainstream' popular in some way - maybe not top 40 radio but at least on some radio somewhere, or were #1 at some point in some not completely niche genre. there's just so much music out there, even so much good music.
To me, the biggest things are hard to teach and are related to human processes.

One is treating your team well and developing the juniors under you, including understanding that each individual may have different needs or require a different approach.

Two is that the best theoretical technical approach is not usually the best real life approach. The number of times I've seen technically elegant code fail because of human systems is quite high. A real example... Yes, I see you used maps and spread operators to concatenate shared vs core values in a CSP file that's shared between multiple sites in a monorepo. How do you think we can maintain that between multiple teams when we don't have clear delineation of ownership? The code works elegantly, but the human processes around ownership to maintain it are absolutely garbage. You should duplicate the shared CSP for each site and task them with stripping out any unnecessary entries for their own file/site. If not, then at least we can open vulnerabilities against individual sites. But hey, telling my TL that didn't work so now we're in a shitty position and I got a low rating for disagreeing.
Data point: I develop in Java and I use IntelliJ. I run everything in debug mode. So it’s really easy for me to enter the debugger.

Afaik the macOS port of OpenBSD's pf firewall is the only firewall used by both Apple's system settings and obdev's LittleSnitch. They're both GUI frontends to the same backend, but Apple supposedly also added internal "escape hatches" to their PF port because they couldn't be arsed to write/generate a proper ruleset with anchors to hook into.

The cynic in me assumes it's just teams from different silos trampling over each other in a shared code base. Given Apple's obsession with leak prevention they're probably prohibited by NDA from talking to each other.

I am in the same situation but in central Europe and looking for a bit more niche position, I am a mobile developer with 10+ years of experience doing iOS.

I have been looking for a job since the middle of the July with not much to show off. I have decreased my salary expectations but that is not the main problem, there are just no jobs to apply to.

For the last 7 years I have been working remotely for various companies inside the EU but it looks to me remote jobs are almost dead now. Everyone wants people back in the office.

My, probably controversial, opinion is that before Covid remote jobs were jobs for the more skilled people, so companies offered them knowing what they will get in return. But during Covid, when everyone worked remotely, some people not doing that that well, the companies just started considering remote jobs not worth it.

Local jobs are almost not existent too here, sometimes there is an opening at a bank but immediately fills in with tens of applications.

Last time I was looking for a new job, in 2022, after 1 month of the search I had 3 offers to choose from; 1 remote EU job and 2 remote local jobs.

Now, after 4 months, the furthest I got was remote EU job where after 5 rounds I was told I made it into top 3 candidates but was not chosen.

I started brushing up on C#/.NET I did over a decade ago as something to switch to, I am definitely not an Apple fanboy to stick to iOS at all costs, but the situation with those kinds of jobs does not look that much better either.
DDD was taught to me when in University, 20 years ago, and it already felt clunky, my views are now much more moderate but Motif still feels like an eyesore.

Conversations over the years have shown me that DDD was a great inverse marketing tool, ironically pushing developers towards the embedded debugger UI in their favorite IDEs... despite DDD itself being indeed very powerful. But even "usefulness over aesthetics" has its limits!

> We have people who frothed at the mouth over the role played by unelected bureaucrats now frothing at the mouth at proposals to remove the last hereditary Lords from our legislature...

I do not think they are the same people. The majority of votes were to leave the EU, the majority of people want to get rid of hereditary peerages.

> And they're elected hereditary Lords, albeit via a franchise consisting entirely of other hereditary Lords

The appointment is formally made by the monarch, in practice by the Prime Minister, with some recommendations coming from a commission that is not part of the house of lords.
I had to maintain a little physical phone book because, while I can memorize 10 people’s numbers, I cant memorize 25, 50, 100. Not having that with me when I needed it, or if you lost it and had no backup, was far less convenient than today. It feels like this is a case of magnifying a minor, rare modern inconvenience and ignoring all the huge inconveniences of the past in favor of a super narrow case where it was debatably “better”.

I tried looking at the various browser standards positions, and as far as I can see, nobody has even asked Blink or WebKit if they are interested in supporting it. Is there any movement on this at all? The official website says that it’s part of “several major browsers”, but this seems dishonest when the biggest browser that supports it is Firefox with ~2.5% market share and no actual major browser seems to be aware of its existence.

The universe is 13.8 billion years old. The JWST has found galaxies formed just 400 million years after the Big Bang. It took the earth 4.6 billion years to form, and 1 billion years to create life.

Our best theory of the universe, General Relativity, has solutions that allow for faster-than-light travel via some Alcubierre type drive (some [without negative mass](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.02709)), and even wormholes.

Even with newtonian mechanic style solutions, it's estimated that it would only take Von Neumann self-replicating probes about 100k years to traverse our own galaxy.

Is it really that unlikely that some non-human intelligence potentially *billions* of years more advanced than us found our planet and uses it to study us or for whatever other purposes to them? IMO no.

And if you would do any research beyond just the headlines, you might come to the realization that our probably has government has recovered crashed/landed NHI craft.

"To medical professionals her condition looks a lot like dementia — amnesia is a common symptom of dementia — but she doesn’t have dementia. One difference is that (as I understand it) dementia is a progressive disease, while this amnesia is stable."

Dementia is a multi-system failure, memory + CPU.
Amnesia, on its own, is a failure of memory, the CPU is working fine.
Medical amateurs, like tech amateurs, may be confused by the difference.
Tech professionals, like medical professionals, ought not to be.

Since we do not yet have the capability to switch out human memory 'cards', making use of the CPU to compensate for the faulty memory card is a great hack.

There is a reason I check out Hacker News on an almost daily basis. This is it.

One of the few things from windows that I miss when using linux is the debugging experience with visual studio (not code). When debugging a medium-sized C++ project on windows, the launch of the debug build is pretty fast and stepping over lines is almost instantaneous. On linux launching the executable using gdb takes like 10 seconds loading modules and stepping over each line takes like half a second which I think is intolerable (lldb is even worse). Yet I don't see people complaining about this online very much. Am I missing something? E.g. is there a compiler flag that speeds up debug launch time and step speed that I am not using?
exactly.

they already cannot show ads on EU because of regulations... not that they wouldn't, but campaign managers abide to the regulations and don't go to google.
