Musk is agreeing to step down as chairman of the board (while staying CEO) and Tesla is appointing two new independent directors. It's a significant curtailing of his power over Tesla. How was the coverage overplayed?

Since when is it a requirement that a programming language be efficient? My larger point is that he seems to be using "programming language" as a shorthand for an imperative, typed programming language. A lot of what he says doesn

The assertion here seems to be that TLA+ isn't a programming language? I'm not sure that makes sense to me.

It's not like the author is asking for people to write a bunch of whatever Go's equivalent of IFDEF is. The author's proposed alternative code is just as concise and straightforward, it just has the benefit of using something

I mean, care about whatever you want to. I find it odd that someone who doesn't care posts in an RSS-related thread, but maybe you post about things you don't care about all of the time. But if you care about what content is avail

Everything that's old is new again. Citizen Kane is a movie about just this sort of thing, and it wasn't fanciful (it was in fact suppressed for being too close to Hearst's real life).

I think you misunderstood the point there. Facebook and Twitter is what drives traffic for The Onion. They can and do syndicate via RSS. But it doesn't help them reach most of their readers.

I'm up for a good Google hate as much as anyone (man alive, I could give a good rant on how they seem to be trying to screw up in the chat space), but is there any evidence that Inbox users are more passionate than the top N Gmail user

It's Goodhart's Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." Too many people are incentivized for the metrics to look good to trust the metrics anymore.

I am not exactly happy about this, but this isn't behavior that makes them stand out from the pack. Google constantly nags me about visiting their sites in Edge, and I understand that the situation is much worse on iOS. But if Microsof

The problem is that there's no solution to "deplatforming" people who incite lynch mobs that also doesn't give the power to "deplatform" peaceful protest against repressive regimes. You can't come up with

Right. If you stick with the herd, it's easy to find other people who are in your situation and share the burden of upkeep. Sticking on a platform past its prime means taking on a far larger share of the support burden yourself.
