"Priorities" quote: Mark Zuckerberg said that he wouldn’t say that child safety was his top concern “when I have a number of other areas I’m more focused on like building the metaverse.”

You need to be careful with those arguments because you can fall into the trap of "think of the children" for everything. As an example, I doubt any of us would appreciate any novelist of not focusing on saving children more than on writing books...

But I get what you are saying.

> You need to be careful with those arguments because you can fall into the trap of "think of the children" for everything

In a text message in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg said that he wouldn’t say that child safety was his top concern “when I have a number of other areas I’m more focused on like building the metaverse.” Zuckerberg also shot down or ignored requests by Clegg to better fund child safety work.

Fair point, but the fuller context is absurd—the OP's rendering is correct in tone and emphasis.

OK, the context makes it clearer, right. Thanks.

I watched it week ago. Mrs Applebaum explains political situation very clearly. Recommended

It's Kremlin, I wouldn't be surprised if actual goal was to produce semiconductors for military purposes (while trying to convince everyone that entertainment/education/fostering local IT is official goal).

Thanks. Personally, I found that most efficient way to develop source generators was by utilizing in memory compilation in unit tests. That way, I was able to use debugger to understand AST provided by Roslyn and quickly iterate. Not sure how it works within VSCode but in Rider it was really fine. Also, sometimes Visual Studio and Rider doesn't regenerate code (likely because internally msbuild decides that dlls are up-to-date). Unit test + in memory compilation way described above assured that latest code was really used in test.

Interesting; would love to see a video of your workflow and process.

With VSC, I found that I had to do some "hacks" to drop output as comments into a generated file so I could see what was happening.

General usage is as in this short video: https://streamable.com/3oqxhf

`QueryGeneratorTestUtil.GenerateCompileAndAssert` internally uses `Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.CSharpCompilation.Create()` and `Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MSBuild.MSBuildWorkspace.Create()`. I get an interactive, debuggable source generator development environment this way. Same as you, initially I used "comments as debugging" hacks but above way is way more efficient.

Kremlin's information warfare is a real thing. I highly recommend Jessikka Aro book "Putin's Trolls: On the Frontlines of Russia's Information War Against the World". Kremlin does it on multiple fronts and had significant negative influence.

Hi, I'm d-p-y, one of the authors. Hope you find it interesting. If you have any questions please ask.

Hello fellow hackers, This is my first comment since I started reading HN around 4y ago. This comment thread mostly summarizes why I'm a lurker: most of the time when I read an article someone already made a point that I would like to make. Most of the time it would be superfluous ( objectively speaking this comment can be treated as such...). To make it slightly worthwhile let me share why I keep on consuming HN and lurking here: What I really like about HN in comparison to reddit is that HN is way less negative/aggressive. Many years ago I once tried there to discuss something - wanted to share my joy about some feature in some library on proggit. Instead of arguments I've received bunch of profanities and name calling. That effectively 'cured' me from participating in comments there. I really really enjoy that such negativity is missing here. That trait plus curated links makes my time spent here much better spent in comparison to alternatives. Thank you guys!
