> I've found several very annoying bugs in the OSX Slack client

Yep, and IRC and its plethora of clients are totally bug-free /s

IRC netsplits alone are far more annoying than any slack bug I've encountered.

> It's impossible to un-join a team via the OSX app, or to remove a team that you partially created.

You definitely can log out of a team in the OS X app (e.g. right click the team icon, click "remove" or go to the team dropdown and sign out). Or if you want to actually deactivate your account, there's a link (somewhere) in the app that opens your browser where you deactivate your account.

> the password reset procedure is quite clunky.

Not in my experience. You don't even have to reset your password. You can have slack email you a magic link as a method of logging in. Open your email, click the magic link, and you're logged in.

> Or I suppose I wish Slack would make its ecosystem available via IRC

How? Slack has an IRC gateway, but IRC doesn't have standardized ways of even sharing files (everything I'm aware of is client based). So how do you implement Slack's feature-set (even ignoring video/voice calls) over IRC without requiring everyone to use a special client?

I'm living in Greece right now and I've been shopping online a bit more the past couple of months. I've been shopping online since 2006 and I guess at some point I forgot to notice how shit of an experience it is.

So in the past couple of months, I have RMA'd two items, returned one due to bad fulfillment, returned one more because I didn't like what I bought (and that got lost). Of all the items I ordered, one got lost or stolen, two more I had to pick up at the local PO which cost me a total of ~20USD in taxi fares (and several hours wasted waiting in line), one I had to pick up in the central depot which cost me 50USD in taxi fares just for that day (and again, several hours wasted).

Only one of those packages had free delivery because they all have to hop between the US, China, Denmark, Germany and who knows where else. (The only one I got free delivery on was a CODE keyboard, which costs $250 in Europe, vs. $130 in USA). So I'm actually paying for this ostensibly terrible service.

So I'm looking at the hub and I just think "Wow, that solves a lot of problems outside the US".

And it's US only.

Of course it is.
yes, the trick right here is to have something that is of everyday use, we actually embedded an IMU and have the ability to recognize the space and map it with very low power consumption in the wrist. gathering the info from the environment without the use of a camera that uses a lot of processing power and mAh. What we developed is a fashionable navigation watch for the blind and visually impaired.

An old forum with a small group of people. Of no interest to most.
I don't think it has to do with imagining the solutions, but with avoiding the power issues that come when people try to take baby steps at scale, and overcoming the "efficiency holes" where people have found good enough local minima across the economy.

How do you convince people to "dream small" when our instinct is to want to implement our ideas nationally? How do you incentivize people to [hopefully temporarily] decrease efficiency and increases costs in the search of something better?
There is another, often overlooked negative cost externality that is not factored into the price of ICE vehciles => air pollution.

I gave up on the web UI and started using the IRC gateway. Doesn't really miss anything for my usage, but there's always things like wee-slack[1] that offer threads, reactions, etc in an IRC client.

it's the weird memory logic of HN biting again:

"Memory is cheap, development time is expensive"

and:

"What do you need more than 16G of ram for?"

These two things are not compatible, but every time a story comes up about new laptops (macbooks being a prime example) everyone jumps on the guy who asks for more than 16G of ram while routinely excluding things (like browsers) that just chew memory.
Well its the only attitude that is left after one's opinions and practices are continuously railroaded by excess industry profiteering and need for "change". Sure, nobody stands up to defend the bad attitude but how can one have anything else when all you see are perfectly good things thrown away because they're not shiny enough? I'm sick of watching this field serve shit for dinner and I have no problem with making people feel bad for their bad decisions. Don't want to get made fun of? Don't do things worthy of being made fun of. (The peanut gallery is always watching.)

Anyways, it shouldn't be the job of the toolset to prevent bad users from shooting themselves, therefore you are always going to have bad, laggy programs in any UI paradigm. It is the job of the toolset, and those that built it, to not take any one piece of tech too far (in this case, HTML rendering engines) when there are so many acceptable and superior substitutes.
Ah yes, all those great games made in pygame like...?
I was pretty late to the party when it came to getting onto Glitch, but when I did Stewart Butterfield was the person who helped me get around for the first hour or so.

Stewart and Cal Henderson have a history of making a game, and then making a tool out of it later. Flickr came out of a game called Game Neverending, hence the 'gne' extensions on Flickr.

iPhone's design, as in its software design, largely should be credited to the teams under Forstall. Ive, at that point, was responsible for hardware design mostly. Most of the principles that made iOS (iPhone OS) successful back then remain today—in fact, it is amazing how little has changed and how relevant the design still is.
Plus they tend to make old articles free pretty quickly.
Seems like "framework" or "library" would be better; this isn't exactly a scheduler or resource allocator in the same way an os implies.

On a related note: I would like to know if there is a project/fork that brings the oldschool threaded model for a browser. Is there one?

A single app with one purpose should all run in-process and use threads to schedule work.
Biggest disadvantage for me comes when trying to implement a complex algorithm where the paper uses pseudocode that's imperative (which is almost always). In the best case you can implement parts of it functionally but when it comes time to put these together you will likely use some kind of loop, but that's not possible in "purely" functional languages.

Otherwise -- and in particular when coming up with algorithms -- I find it preferable for languages to be efficient with functional idioms (recursion, map, filter, etc.).

Edit: I understand that anything's possible in a functional language that's possible in other languages. My point is that conversion from imperative to functional can be complex and might not be worth the trouble, and that doing it purely functionally might defeat the purpose: it will be nearly impossible to read or incredibly inefficient.
And we're OK with it...

That's what needs to change.

Miniature Weapons – The Toothpick Crossbow
I had a Java II professor who often said in class something along the lines of "between speed and memory, use more memory. Memory is cheap." So it's, somewhat, passed attitude through academia to students.
I'd venture to say the vast majority of businesses are started by one core person

On the other hand, we as humans have a well known desire for one person to pin everything on. A 'hero fallacy' if you will (I'm sure there's a better term). Thousands of invested engineers didn't make the iPhone, Steve Jobs made the iPhone. Millions of troops and five countries didn't win WWII, General Patton did. A series of brilliant collaborating scientists building on the shoulders of giants didn't invent nuclear fission, Albert Einstein did. Turing cracked Enigma, nevermind the Polish cryptographers whose work he built on. Can you even name half of The Traitorous Eight?

The list of examples where we pick one name to worship from a large enterprise of many deeply involved individuals is very, very long.

So, maybe it's good to discount a perspective that identifies one single person as the complete nexus of success for any particular enterprise.

You're learning an important lesson about marketing.

There are many examples of inferior products winning due to marketing.

If what you care about is "everything is a beautifully curried function that actually doesn't do anything", the concern about loops is definitely a thing (but any loop can be turned into a recursive function so long as your stack is big enough, even if they're usually hideous). But pretty much everybody I've ever worked with considers functional purity in the logic layer to be "functional programming" at its most useful (Gary Berhardt's functional-core, imperative-shell talk is a good one). Is it easier to write with a loop? Then use a loop! If that loop is contained in a pure function that has no side effects and encapsulates something that isn't the most beautiful crystalline code formation anybody ever did see, nobody cares.

It's the mindset, not the implementation, that actually makes functional programming so valuable a tool.
one of the big things in matrix is the existence of bridges as a first class citizen. matrix-appservice-slack exists today (and riot.im hosts an instance of it; you can get at it via Manage Integrations in Riot). The catch is that right now it needs to have outgoing/incoming webhooks provisioned on the Slack channel being bridged. We are working on fixing this with a puppeting bridge though - and there are a few other projects like matrix-puppet-slack which also aim to do this already. https://matrix.org/blog/2017/03/11/how-do-i-bridge-thee-let-... has the gory details.
Optimizing runtime performance can be a little tricky and nonintuitive. Debugging can similarly be tricky-- inspecting internal return values is not super fun.

Sure, here you go. I said "within certain ranges" because there are absolute limits on either end. I hope it's obvious to you that the logarithmic approximation is only logarithmic until it isn't. The human visual response to staring at the midnight sky and staring at the noon sun are both non-logarithmic relative to the well lit everyday objects you usually look at. The valid range does not extend infinitely in either direction, and at the ends response ceases to be logarithmic even if the middle of the range works out well.

So, I think no citations are needed to explain basic absolute limits and the simple fact that logarithmic perception is only valid "within certain ranges." But, since you asked for citations, here are some starting points for understanding lightness perception, and how it's not quite logarithmic even in the middle of the valid range.

http://www.telescope-optics.net/eye_intensity_response.htm

"All this only scratches the surface of the complexities of eye response to light intensity, but should illustrate well that the common notion of it being described as simply logarithmic is oversimplification, to say the least."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness

"At first glance, you might approximate the lightness function by a cube root, an approximation that is found in much of the technical literature. However, the linear segment near black is significant, and so the 116 and 16 coefficients. The best-fit pure power function has an exponent of about 0.42, far from 1/3."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber%E2%80%93Fechner_law#Visi...

"The eye senses brightness approximately logarithmically over a moderate range (but more like a power law over a wider range)"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold

"For white light, the absolute sensitivity found was 5.9 x 10−14 watts / steradian-cm2"

That reading may possibly, maybe have made sense in the early stages. Like when they were 12. But at some point she literally told him "stop messaging me so much or I'll block you". And even before that, he's well outside of societal norms.

The guy then switches to insults and threats. Going from there and explaining it away with "oh, poor guy, might have felt rude and personal to him" is quite the stretch.

The guy is an active stalker. Let's stop making excuses for horrible behavior. He's not "confused". He's malicious. He's threatening. He's trying to destroy her livelihood.

It's not women "having a different perspective than men", it's men like you continuing to make excuse after excuse for men who behave like sociopaths.

If only their app was as snappy and responsive as their 404 page.
IIRC the study that led to people carbo loading for endurance events was first only done with males and that follow up studies found no effect in women. So we don't know the reason for the gender response difference but it exists. For a separate semi tangential on gender differences, the presence of testosterone in males appears to increase the red blood cell count and oxygen carrying ability slightly (versus testosterone deficient or females who doped in a prior era without testing versus clean females) so there is definite precedent for there being a difference in response to diet/ability due to gender/gender specific hormones.
This type of thing exists, there's even a saying for it in swedish - "grabbig stämning" (loosely translated: "frat-house feeling"). But the last time I remember someone behaving like this was when I was just starting university, at around 19-20 yo, and even then that was just stuff between guys, never to a girl. We are very conscious of how we talk in sweden, and nobody would drop a comment vaguely similar to the ones mentioned above, unless they really hate their job and want to get fired.
I couldn't find anything, so I ended up making it myself using TorrentSniff.

http://genesis.andreparames.com/

Most of the trackers seem to be down, so it's just getting data from tracker2.wasabii.com, and even that is pretty slow, so it'll take a while to fetch for all 1693 torrents.

I wrote a script that pings the tracker and keeps regenerating a static HTML file, so it'll keep updating itself, though not very fast.

Just because we have evolved eating meat, doesn't necessarily mean it is the most optimal. Appeal to Nature.

What "products" is PETA selling??? I have a lot of qualms with PETA, but I have never seen them vindicated in this way...

You seem to be really invested in the diet. Maybe you have some bias?
I see a lot of people questioning who is a solo founder or not.

To me, a cofounder is someone who has enough equity to veto your decisions if they don't like them. Everyone else is an employee, whether compensated in cash, equity, or thank yous.

Most of the objections I see here are, "well, they had a support group of X and Y".

No one does it alone. The issue is whether you have ultimate authority (and therefore responsibility) for the success or failure of the company.

I'd say everyone on the list of solo founders was personally responsible for the success of their company.

>It serves a real beneficial purpose for those of us who have missed packages while at work and had to drive 20min in terrible traffic to the nearest FedEx/UPS/etc retail outlet

There is a low-tech solution for this already..you have normal package lockers near the mailroom which have keys. Your package is put in a locker, and the corresponding key is put into your mailbox.

Seems way easier and the only way this is better is if the touchscreen system works for signature required packages, allowing them to be dropped off without you

There are already competitors operating here in Canada doing this stuff fortunately. I believe Amazon acquired one of them which turned into this [nm, see edit]. That should hopefully pressure Amazon to expand and this will offer tons of free advertising for those smaller companies competing.

InPost is another one with boxes all over Europe. They recently shut down in my city though :/ (Toronto). But otherwise it looks pretty like they have extensive deployment: https://inpost24.com/

If it bugs you just don't respond to the hello. If someone complains just say you were waiting for the actual content (no one just says hello on chat for no reason). You assumed that the hello was just to warn you that something longer was being typed and that you shouldn't immediately leave.

The nice feature of this approach is that you can immediately leave if you know that you really don't want to deal with whatever it is that is coming and can legitimately say you never saw it.
The software is nothing special and can be installed by anyone: Nextcloud [1] running the News [2] app. The virtue of the thing is that you can point it at any RSS/Atom feed you want and have the result appear in categories of your choice.
