> should probably be probably labeled contains no milk.

What about other products that contain no milk? Shouldn't they do this as well? Should every package list what it doesn't have?

> that one standard line of text

This is the point. The packaging is entirely up to the manufacturer. Should the FDA approve every food package before it's used? We obviously can't do that. What we can do is mandate a few "standard lines of text." So that regardless of the packaging decisions consumers can still determine the facts quickly and _reliably_.

Think of people with allergies that have low vision or any other handicap which would make all these "good enough" ideas become dangerous.

I think it looks okay, but noisy, and my main concern is that it adds so little to JSON - in particular, RJSON. The built-in token replacement MIGHT be nice, but... is token replacement part of the library itself? Or is that something applied elsewhere?
I'm developing something so that everyone can do this easily[0]. It's a plugin based presentation software. Real time connection through websocket.

So all you need to do is create a project and use a plugin(existing or your own) to generate your view. The plugin is flexible, so it could be a custom UI or uploading a HTML file for example.

Then, you can open a link on any machine like the e-ink display.

Open-source and self-hostable. But you can also use the online version I'm hosting.

It's still very new so things will break but I'm already using it in church and other meetings.

>An advantage of Bluesky over Twitter that’s valuable to a lot of people is the degree of control it gives. Algorithmic feeds are more precisely tunable so it’s easier to get them to show the things you want to see, starter packs make it easy to follow entire circles at once, and moderation tools are robust, which helps tamp down on spam, trolling, harassment, etc.

Your statement appears completely illogical without a good deal of explanation connecting these concrete statements to yours.
Maybe we’re all looking for a replacement for something that can no longer exist on the Internet. Maybe we don’t miss Twitter as much as we miss the Internet of yore.

Maybe not, but worth thinking about.

I regretted my decision to self host. It’s expensive (for what it is), there are federation issues with some instances, some admins don’t like smaller unknown instances, it requires a fair bit of active management to keep an instance healthy, and you can’t migrate post history.

There is not much point in attention when post is only seen by followers and reposts. It is indication that wrote a good post. The only currency is followers. It was hard to get those without outside fame.

The problem is with Twitter and others is that they now have algorithmic feed. That means posts get seen globally and clout metrics are valuable for reach. Comments also get clout so get lots of drive-by ones and less discussion.
It could simply be the people are now getting their hands on them and testing them for things that Apple didn’t specifically say in their announcements.

I think the fundamental issue is running a social network as a for-profit business. Every business model people have tried so far has ruined the platform for the people who originally found it valuable.

Online services do scale, which is the root of the problem. It's more profitable to focus on a large number users who get a little value from the platform than on those who find it particularly valuable. No matter whether your revenue comes from ads or subscription fees, you want more users, more impressions, and more activity. Which turns your focus away from whatever the early adopters did when there was only a little activity.

Influencers are a convenient red flag. Once they find a platform attractive, it's probably no longer good for activities not centered around them.
You are describing a forum with some polymarket style integration; very closely aligns with Vitalk's latest:

`In short, I believe that (i) prediction markets even as they exist today are a very useful tool for the world, but furthermore (ii) prediction markets are only one example of a much larger incredibly powerful category, with potential to create better implementations of social media, science, news, governance, and other fields. I shall label this category "info finance".`

As with a lot of things these days, the places you congregate are what you make of it.

Putting aside the issues with who owns twitter and some of their recent policy shifts about content, I still have relatively sanitized feeds where I mostly only see friends' content. I'm still making new friends from Japan on it through our shared hobbies. Most of the sports news I follow is still there.

Nothing materially has changed about how I use the platform.

Bluesky is still pretty empty. Maybe some "nodes" of it are getting busier as people trickle out of twitter but I'm not sure it matters much until theres more saturation of many more things.
That's my interpretation too, people start finding out stuff when they get their hands on it, and each has their own interests.
My current version of "it's not who you know, it's ..." ends with "it's who wants to work with you again." Which is another way of saying that whether you're moving up, down or sideways on a job, doing good work and treating people professionally goes a hell of a long way to increasing your luck surface later on.

Here’s an interesting, somewhat-related tidbit I learned recently: in Churchill, Manitoba (the polar bear capital of the world), it is customary for locals to leave their car doors unlocked in case someone needs a quick escape from a polar bear.

The really brutal thing is all of the code using Pandas written by researchers and non-software engineers running quietly in lab environments. Difficult to reproduce environments, small or non-existent test suites, code written by grad students long gone. If the Pandas interface breaks for installs done via `pip install pandas` it will cause a lot of pain.

With that acknowledged, it'll make life a lot easier on everyone if the "fix the API" Pandas 3 had a different package name. Polars and others seem like exactly that solution, even if not literally Pandas.
Can someone explain why Twitter was good? I have an account and I posted like twice. The UI is weird, takes the entire screen to show a thread and it's difficult to follow a conversation.

I get the sense that it's just for trying to be witty. The replies are hard to follow for a reason. They aren't the point. It's really a series of unrelated posts you have to keep reading to follow any kind of "zeitgeist". It's like they thought of a good user interface for conversations and did the opposite of that.
I get the sense that the sort of people who move to Bluesky are against the things such platforms need to do to make money.

Counterpoint: I've been on an M2 Macbook running NixOS-via-Asahi-installer for about a year, and I've run into maybe 2 applications that I cannot find in the Nix repos or flathub. I have a stable, fast, long-lasting machine running Hyprland and all the productivity software I've needed. I'm currently missing an internal microphone and, I believe, Thunderbolt (USB-C works fine) but this machine is faster than and as stable as it was when it had macOS on it.

I am as general purpose, regular person as you're going to find, in this world at least. I stare at a sentence like "In a functional programming language, everything is a function" and just blink. But a few months of blood and suffering to learn Nix/NixOS and I am managing the family's computers from a single repository and working faster than ever.
I've never been in a Tesla so don't know if this would work, but you might try getting a small convex mirror (often called a "blind spot mirror") like these [1] at Amazon.

This term is coming up more frequently in the C++ community as they discuss Rust's safety features so to add more nuance to the discussion and focus on subsets of the problem to solve.

Note that there are some more heated takes on where these terms are being used. I tried to be as generous as possible in my description.
I think the source of confusion is the use of “at the time” in your previous comment, which is talking about events in WW2, when the article discusses events in 1914 with no reference to 1940.

The cause in 1940 was apparently an artillery duel between German and British troops, which is on a different level from purposefully setting fire to a library within an occupied city, even if the result is equally terrible.

You're losing the plot here. Like I said, I'm not trying to tell you he's backing the right horse on any of this. I'm just mentioning what I see as misrepresentations of what his claims are. This is based on watching a good number of hours of him actually speaking during this past year or so, and then watching the news report utter nonsense about what I just watched him say.
If you're not logged in to Xitter, navigating to a Xeet allows you to view the Xeet, but not the Xomments. Fortunately, there are open-source, self-hostable, privacy-preserving front-ends for Xitter, such as Nitter.

If setting it up yourself is too much work, you can use other public instances. One such instance is called xcancel. Load the Xeet as normal, then simply append "cancel" to the domain name before the period in your URL bar and hit enter :)

Look at the Tweet (X? Blurp? What do we call them now?) - it's got the spectrum of the panel, comparing previous and newer panels.

If you know what you're looking for in those, you can identify a lot of different phosphor configurations just by the particular shape of the RGB peaks - the older ones have a distinctive multi-peaked red emission that I've seen in various LED bulbs as well over the years.

I doubt Apple mentioned it to anyone. Applying a spectrometer to any new light emitting device is just the sort of thing some people enjoy doing.

China's coal plants are running at steadily reduced capacity (while their renewables capacity is growing exponentially).

I don't know how well the polars implementation works, but what I love about PySpark is that sometimes spark is able to push those groupings down to the database. Not always, but sometimes. However I imagine that many people love polars/pandas performance for transactional queries (from start to finish get me a result in less than a second (as long as the number of underlying rows is not greater than 20k-ish). Pyspark will never be super great for that.
Nah, "spacial safety" is a term of art among security folks and among PL folks who work on security.

A good self-hosting service should provide full access to extract all your data, such that you can import it into a different service later.

I'm paying ~$7/month to own my own fediverse identity, which seems cheap to me.

You're right about federation issues, though that's more a limitation of the fediverse protocols and fediverse software that really needs fixing. Fediverse instances don't automatically fetch and show all replies to posts you see, even if it knows they exist, unless your server is already fetching other things from the server hosting those posts. So it's a little harder to see other people's replies, which contributes to the problem of 20 people replying with the same answers because they can't see that other people have already replied.

Large instances work around that because everyone's already talking to at least one account on that server.

I hope those limitations get fixed someday, but for now they're fundamental to the fediverse.

On the practical personal safety level this is easy to answer. If you(or the person you are going to serve it to) have food alergy for any of the categories and you can’t find a “Contains” list then you don’t consume(serve) the item.

Want to make it clear i’m not arguing with this against the current alergen labeling laws. I see it as a variant of Postel’s principle. The food manufacturers should label everything strictly, and consumers affected by any alergy should assume that where there is no information then the alergen they worry about is present. This way the system remains trustworthy while the customers can safely avoid where mistakes are made or packaging gets damaged or smudged or anything like that.
I think the difference as I see it is that Twitter/X is oriented around increasing levels of "engagement" and encouraging contributors to focus on going viral in hopes of going even more viral by reaching the "For You" feed.

Bluesky seems a bit more like a 140 Characters mashed with Reddit with subtopics/submods of feeds as the focus. Also it seems to highlight the custom feeds feature which you can manage yourself. Twitter/X has such features but for the most part you are nudged away from these to improve "engagement" metrics. That said its highly possible that could change over time based on the long term vision.
> Regulations and liability don't care about common sense. In fact, they supersede common sense.

Exactly. And there's a result in economics called the "Coase theorem" that basically says that as long as there's clear liability assignment, the negative externality (serious allergic reactions) can be efficiently avoided, in theory. So having regulations that make it unambiguous who is responsible for each step creates a better outcome for society (fewer deaths from allergic reactions).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coase_theorem
I do not, but cookie batter should also be labelled if it has dairy/butter.
The article seems to be only justifying the waste without going near the well-established fact that butter is made of milk.

If you have allergy you're supposed to know butter is made of milk, or no?

I always imagined this as a future basic genetic modification with a gene trigger: before starvation sets in your cells would manufacture a bunch of chloroplasts and turn your skin green, to give you a chance with water and sunlight to get some more run way on survival. Then if your calorie levels rise the chloroplasts get re-absorbed.
So a firehose isn't different than re-hosting Bluesky and it encourages re-hosting?
