> Mullenweg responded to our inquiry, saying a blog post is forthcoming. When it dropped, it was about him buying a houseboat.

I guess I just don't understand the indefensible greed on display here from Apple. If Apple's App Store & development software truly were still world-class & easy to build/rely on then at least one could defend a "quality tax" of sorts. That'd still be bad, but it's something.

As it stands currently, with the quality of their software & App Store benefits they should be discounting all fees by like ~50% at least.

Calling someone stinky is a personal & childish attack. It doesn't matter how you attach it to some other label.

What Kelley would have said if he were acting like an adult & offering professional criticism was that Jarred was a bad manager. Ineffective, even. That is what an adult would have said there.

Come on now.

The kinds of contributors you "filter for" by acting like a petulant manchild on your personal blog are going to ruin your community and then your programming language and then blame you personally for all of it

Update: hmm seems like they're involved in this whole thing too somehow, how strange:

Ghostarchive does a decent job for the same sites in my experience: https://ghostarchive.org/

You can tell it's a scam call immediately because Google has no such thing as "support", let alone an actual "support engineer"

While I agree it's hard to claim one is outright better than the other and there are a lot of factors that go into it, I do feel it's important to toss my chip in as someone who's not familiar with Lisp, Scheme, or any other functional language that I find it's syntax and layout particularly difficult to parse, let alone get started with compared to say, the INI-inspired systemd conf files. I can detail why but the mere fact that I'd have to learn an entire functional programming language (no matter how "easy/simple" it's claimed to be) to be able to competently edit a service file is a huge immediate turn-off for me.

Incredible website design, I hope they keep the theme. With so many AI startups going with advanced WebGL/ThreeJS wacky overwhelming animated website designs, the simplicity here is a stark contrast.

I'm seeing this already with how they're handling the new right-click contextual Search feature being moved to open the results in the new "Search sidebar" rather than a new tab. This was supposedly able to be disabled with the flag "Search web in side panel" (there's no option for it in the preferences), however if the completely undocumented "CSC" flag was left at it's default then it overrides any other flag to force enable the feature. You can see the consequences of this decision to this very day in places like /r/chrome with users complaining that disabling the feature flags isn't working.

I don't think we necessarily need a more reliable source to point out that this one is wildly unreliable

Can you also look at adding the time/date's timezone on the end? Thanks, I love the site's layout/design

That's quite the final conclusion to be drawing based on the aimless wanderings of a fidgeting police helicopter camera operator.

Perhaps declaring that the algorithmically condensed footage of a police helicopter camera equates to a supposed general mindset of the law enforcement profession in general might be just a bit reductive.

From what I understand the average low temperature in Texas around this time usually doesn't go below 30-35 degrees. Meanwhile the average high temperature around this time doesn't get above 20-35 degrees in Minnesota.

To demand every state spend the same resources that Minnesota does to winterize their infrastructure is completely unrealistic.

>This type of weather isn't some 1,000 year storm.

Not according to this professor of meteorology:

>“We’re living through a really historic event going on right now,” said Jason Furtado, a professor of meteorology at the University of Oklahoma, pointing to all of Texas under a winter storm warning and the extent of the freezing temperatures.

Looks like the FBI and DEA were involved as well as several other country's police agencies, with Europol acting as coordinator. Lots of money moving across countries means lots of taxes probably not being paid, hence the IRS.

And yet Amazon managed to get a plan out of Parler that promised to increase moderation of violent content manually with the help of volunteers. Whether or not that plan was workable is moot now, it seems.

All valid points. At the very least this mess provides a case study of the potential consequences of reducing law enforcement presence in favor of optics

It's true that terrorism & sedition is not protected speech, but it's also true that the logic Twitter is invoking here to connect the tweets to terrorism & sedition is questionable at best. Regardless, why should we accept Twitter banning people for the "wrong" reasons?

True. All the more important we can't let attacks on our important national symbols cloud our judgement and allow vague claims and anger to steer our decisions.

Free market principles, at least. But regardless of the political orientation of the view, it always seems to last only as long as they happen to agree with the political implications of the company's decisions

The outrage it's generated from all corners of American society seem to run against that idea. Just because a relatively small mob of determined extremists can raid a building for an afternoon does not indicate some kind of earth-shattering, society-changing transformative event. Popular social media platforms using shaky, uneven, and arguably unjustifiable logic to ban both speech and people from their respective shares of the public sphere is, however, indicative of an ever-growing attack by monopolized social platforms on exactly those traditionally liberal ideas that makes such amazingly diverse and open-minded communities to begin with.

The Dev version of uBlock Origin has been updated recently to fix that

It's hard to have moderate, rational discussions in 255 characters

Milo didn't tell his fans to attack her. In fact she had been tweeting with various other people long beforehand and drawing a lot of ire through her comments.

It sets a terrible precedent as far as what Twitter is willing to take a hard stance on.

Of course it's important to recognize when it's actual misogyny and not just disagreement with the code.

I'm sure they are, however none are listed in this article.

Don't apply the bad logic of one cop to every single cop in existence

Article should be titled "Being a cop showed me just how racist and violent a lot of the police in St. Louis were". This article is relying on the author's personal experiences in the force and fails to bring any hard statistics.

While there is certainly a problem with racism in Police Departments this article fails to find the ultimate source of that racism, and without truly understanding where Police racism is coming from the authors solution of "We need harsher punishments and better oversights" doesn't guarantee it will fix the problem.

Like with the public in general, only a small (but very loud) percentage of the Police are bad people. Bringing harsher punishments down on the Police is not the answer. By their very nature the Police need to do things that put dangerous people in harms way for the safety of others. If they are not allowed to do that without thinking that they're going to get punished for it, they will not be able to do their jobs effectively.

There are definitely cases where bad Police do bad things, and they DO get punished for it, but just like every other person in America they are innocent until proven guilty, and it can take a long time before a case can be put together. By that time the media (and the Public's attention) have been pointed to the next "Police tragedy".

I've recently done the same, but the lack of support for Linux and their lackluster Windows version kinda bums me out.
