This one company posted their handbook on hackernews a while back. It described a system where there software was developed in small squads: an engineer, a designer, and a product person. The engineer's job was to lead the implementati

i think m1 was a big boost because of risc--compilers have gotten really good, and cpu pipelining has been well researched/developed, so there was a lot of performance to be harvested by putting everything together. gpus, on the otherh

I think contextualization is crucial. If you spend time doing raw info dumps from one side of an argument, say the unions in the rail strike, you're not telling the whole story. Telling the whole story is important to journalism. It&#x

Journalism should present things in the correct context, and contextualize statements, situations, etc. If feels like you're accusing journalists of lying to push an agenda, which is, by definition, not journalism. Journalism is about

Multiplayer games with dedicated, community servers were very special. If you frequented a server, it wouldnt be long before you made friends with the people on the server. I made many good friends in the battlefield 2 and team fortress 2 d

twitter is mostly run in their own datacenters, and does not have autoscaling. so capacity overall is more or less fixed, though how much capacity is given to each service seems to be human adjusted. the lack of autoscaling at twitter, imo,

Then why would they put in a maximum contribution? Why have any limit at all if it is as you say it is? Are you implying that the government was trying to create a lottery for tax shelter? Or a shelter that at the minimum benefits the wealt

I'm not calling foul, and I do advocate for changing the rules. He amassed that position fair and square. ... but that doesn't mean that he gets to keep it either. There's an obligation to society, as much as the libertarian

I agree. I don't think it was the intent for people to amass a multi-billion dollar accumulation in their Roth account. And when we're talking about whether something is "right," or "wrong,"--which different fr

The thing is, I generally trust established media organizations to fact-check because their integrity and reputation depends on it. Facts are often cross-checked and verified prior to publishing. Journalists have a vested interest in preven

You mean, like Pizza Gate? Wiki has a well-cited article on the topic that's probably worth your attention: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_... -- specifically the social media section.

I'm not sure what point you're making. The whole point in either case is that what is being reported is accurate and verified. I think Twitter moderation these days is pretty transparent and fact-based when they take action.

Did you RTFA? Roth was directly quoted by the post. > In October 2020, ahead of the U.S. presidential election, the team added context to all trends that could be found in Twitter’s prime real estate — its “For you” and “What’s happening

The whole motivation of these rules is to avoid consequences of letting false information spread unhindered. Actually, it was the abuse of twitter (and facebook's, etc) liberal content policies that allowed the disinformation campaigns

anecdotally, in the US/Canada, everytime I text someone running android, I get e2e encryption. Most US carriers have rolled it out by now (or can be completely circumvented by using Android Messages app) and the green bubble teasing se

RCS has end to end encryption. When I text other android users, my messages are encrypted. When I text an iPhone, they are not. Stop supporting closed protocols and bad-faith actors.

dslrs can use a similar technique that phones use—exposure bracketing—with good or better results depending on a variety of factors. It does make you wonder if fullsized camera bodies will figure out better bracketing. Exposure time is real

from the videos, the iphone looks like a terrible way to shoot VIDEO for a wedding, and that's after spending thousands of dollars on extra equipment. Stills, IMO, would be even more of a disaster.

this feels like a workaround. We should not be treating phonenumbers as SSN round two, where everyone relies on it for your identity, and it should never be changed because of how much shit was needlessly tied to it. I rue the day I need to

No. Encryption means the data is scrambled. Essentially unrecognizable from noise, save perhaps for some headers. If you can discern meaning from noise, then your theory would work. But discerning meaning from random noise is obviously impo
