The vast majority of this data was posted publicly. You have no reasonable expectation of privacy.


Vast majority? OK..... So what about the stuff that was from private posts? You're really going to justify this?


It wasn't from private posts, it was from deleted posts. Parler left them accessible and so they happened to be caught when scraping.


The hacker specifically mentioned on Twitter both deleted and private data.


And you believed it.


Yep still funny too


Well, if nobody tells you you're being a shit, humans rarely realize it on their own, squeaky wheels get the grease.


I think the question is specifically regarding, what if a less famous person encountered this issue


Another question is, how many less famous people have already encountered this issue?


This might be going too far, but Type A personalities don't realize they're being shits. This allows them to get things done, as they don't care very much about what other people think; but sometimes it means that they deliver solutions/products without much empathy for the end users and the individual contributors who made it.


Yeah, but those compile times catch bugs everyone misses in your Django app.

People think speed is the only advantage, reducing runtime debugging and providing a more secure, more correct front end, free null pointer issues and free of memory leaks and runtime type errors - rust just has the added bonus of being fast.

You're right some of the tools aren't quite there and if you move a rails-y app over to rust, you have a job ahead of you to assemble some libraries, but it is doable - the point is that you can put rust in production at web scale now.


Nitpick. But unused bindings is a warning, it doesn't create an invalid program


These are unbound usings.


Those two programs don't use a in the Nothing case, they have Just _ instead, i.e. a hole. Those are just as valid as any other program with a hole. You could fill the hole with undefined if you wanted to.


The article was edited in the interim. The error the ancestor posts describes did exist before (I saw it, too), but no longer.


As noted by Twisol, those holes previously contained `(fab a)`.

I'd delete my comment now that it's addressed, but 1) it's too late, and 2) I'm too happy about "unbound usings".


Purescript is Haskell without cruft and built for the web era.

Idris or agda for type level goodies.


The neoliberals and neomarxiists want opposite things.


No, push for the most aggressive plan possible. This is the one moment in history you might just get what you want. If you start in the middle they'll argue you down to nothing. Hold firm and tell. Don't ask.


The Sanderite strategy was to insist that there is only one way to do things, which was his way, and everybody else must simply fall in line. It didn't work last time, it didn't work this time.


It works if something happens to enough of the electorate opposing it (about 5k people over 55 die each day, the older you are the more moderate or conservative you skew [vs progressive] per Pew Research). This ignores death spikes from black swan events (COVID-19); they bring about change more rapidly. “Progress occurs one funeral at a time”, apologies to Max Planck.

Just as interracial marriage, womens’ voting rights, the legalization of abortion, same sex marriage, and the slow sweep of marijuana legalization and prison reform come eventually, this too will arrive. We’re just arguing the timeline, which is frankly insane we’re willing to wait so long to save the lives of so many of our fellow citizens.


I'd honestly be surprised if universal healthcare will ever be on the table. Between Trump and Biden, there won't be any discussions.

What could happen is that Biden gets KO'ed by the disease, leaving Sanders the default democratic candidate.


I actually PR's these docs a couple weeks back. In short halogen v5 greatly simplifies a lot of the complexity around parent/child components.


I really enjoy coup.
