So he has a motive.

He's completely right about Slack though. This is just one of many reasons I tend to hate non-native apps.

And this isn't the first time I've heard of this issue with Slack (by a long shot).

If this post does anything to get people to care about performance and memory usage or the Slack people to work to fix this... fine with me.

useless comment: For fun, have an Alexa relay its questions to Google Home...Fact Checking...
I'm exaggerating a bit but basically:

- Primary source of the article says "It’s not genetic engineering or adding new genes"

- Vice's marketing department: "Gina is engineering babies!!!@$@#%1111"
The underlying article with original reporting is https://www.fastcodesign.com/90132632/ai-is-inventing-its-ow... and doesn't support the implication that this AI had to be shut down because it would somehow be dangerous if it were allowed to continue training. Rather, it wasn't useful for the intended purpose:

> “Our interest was having bots who could talk to people,” says Mike Lewis

It sounds like the problem is that software agents that can train to communicate with other agents can create the equivalent of slang or argot, which they understand and outsiders don't. That's pretty interesting, but the "shut down" part seems unnecessarily sensational.

Was kind of hoping this is something individual home owners could install near the front door so packages aren't left on the steps.

If you fill out the form it asks what kind of property you have, and single family homes is an option, but then it says "your property does not meet our requirements at this time." I wonder if enough people select that though...
No, I was messing with you.

There is nothing useful here. They are allowing you to bypass a secure key with a dumb email confirmation.

Hmm, yes, I do agree that it is interesting to see how everyone reacts to accusations of "holding foreign currency", but I think I'm missing most of the humour because I just don't know what it was like to live in a Stalinist sociopolitical climate.

I did enjoy the sub-book about Pontius Pilate indeed, and I also agree that the style feels very unique. I think the story with the Devil is just an excuse to orchestrate these unique situations and write the satirical/subversive reactions. I think that's what I don't like, the disjointed narrative without much of an arc, because I'm missing most of the subtext that is the payoff for the scenes.
I think more precisely you mean that unauthorized copies aren't "open access" in the usual sense of the OA movement (and many people want OA to be achieved through official licensing, not unofficial distribution). That is, it's the unauthorized copies that aren't OA.
Are you in any guilds at all? If yes, it's handling all of them in the background, which would explain at least some of it.
I'm signed into 6 accounts right now, but I only visit 3 regularly (and Slack supposedly no longer keeps all teams in memory if you're not looking at them), and my average energy impact is 10.07. That puts it solidly in the #2 spot (with #1 being Xcode, which makes sense because I'm compiling all the time).

I currently have 8 Slack Helper processes, one of which is sticking around 6-7% CPU, but the others are between 0–1%. Slack itself is around 4% (this is without me interacting with it, and with no animated GIFs visible on the screen right now).

FWIW the impact of animated GIFs (including animated custom emoji) is pretty high. Switching to a channel where there's 5 tiny animated custom emoji pushes CPU usage up to 18–20% for Slack Helper, pushes Slack itself up to about 9–10%, and makes my Energy Impact jump to 40–50 (which is insane).
Sounds ridiculous that a chat app can consume that much.

The authors company isn't a Slack competitor, it's a real-time data platform. Otherwise I imagine they wouldn't be using Slack for their internal messaging.

Amazon is reinventing the whole daily retailing experience piece by piece.

There does not seem anyone on the market now can be a meaningful competitor at all. The close-loop virtuous cycle now extends to a degree that probably only Alibaba can rival (in China).

I don't think this is Bezos' original vision, but Amazon grows to a point such ideas just come out naturally.

The resistance seems futile now, all retailers should consider how to operate in the model created by Amazon.
I had assumed you would have a second array as backup for the current pool ensuring zero data loss and easy backup. This would seem to be optimal. Remote backup is obviously a good thing to have too.

elixir is awesome, and it's the language i use on my personal projects. But it's still pretty immature and if you're writing a web application, rails will get you further, quicker.

With rails when i'm writing some new code quite often i'll open pry and experiment. %w!bob tom harry!.<tab><tab> gives me all the things I can do on this array. So maybe I'd do %w!bob tom harry!.sort

If i'm in iex (the elixir equivalent REPL) I have no such help! first, I can't use %w! to define an array, and secondly You can't call things like that. The equivalent is

['bob', 'tim', 'atom'] |> Enum.sort

which isn't discoverable in the same way

For python, here's what I use with sphinx-doc:

https://libtmux.git-pull.com/en/latest/api.html

https://libvcs.git-pull.com/en/latest/api.html

That is, global + expanded local ToC Section Navigation on the left, and laying out the API docs like python code (parenthesis wrapping parameters).

The tool that powers it is sphinx.ext.autodoc (http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/autodoc.html). While it's opinionated toward Python, there are tools like Breathe (https://breathe.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) that can use doxygen's XML output to generate docs, too.

For REST-based API's that can be widdled down to language-library abstractions, I concur with stripe API documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/api

In addition, Heroku's platform API documentation is nice: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/platform-api-reference. Downside is the ToC makes the docs top-heavy.

Other points:

- I think it's OK to infer readers are going to be using Command/Ctrl-F searches liberally when viewing docs.

- For javascript (to augment what's already there), I like annotated source if the library is small enough, e.g. http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html

The Gate's foundation opening line:

Ironic considering that these foundations literally exist because of the consolidation of wealth and resources, aka, inequity.

And if the global trend of further wealth consolidation is any indicator, they're not succeeding.
Makes no difference if you aren't planning to redistribute the code or document (possibly as the basis of a derived work).

If you could get the Windows source code with some paid subscription program, so that it's not pirated, it still wouldn't be open source. It would be more like "open access".

Open source means we can modify it and share our modified version, and even charge for it.

Most users of scientific papers aren't looking to extend those papers and redistribute modified copies; they just read them privately and make citations (which nobody can tell whether they were from a licensed or pirated copy).

Slack currently uses a separate webview for each team you're signed in to[1]. They're apparently working to optimize the app for those running multiple teams. People like to hate on Electron, but in this case Slack's implementation of multiple teams deserves more blame than the underlying stack.

[1] https://slack.engineering/reducing-slacks-memory-footprint-4...

Quotes:

>> This memory footprint increases as the user signs into more teams, as each team runs in its own webview.

>> Each of these teams is running the full JavaScript web application and maintaining and updating the DOM tree as the state of the team changes.

>> Work is underway to fix the underlying factors affecting client memory consumption

>> Exploring running all teams in a shared context to eliminate the overhead of one webview per team.

> I don't have any trouble reading English, but papers are almost universally written in a way that is more complicated than necessary.

This is a function of two things. The first is that venues often have strict page limits for their submissions. Authors typically have a lot to say and not a lot of space to say it, so they pick language that is precise, dense, and typically colorless. The second is that every domain has a lot of style and nomenclature that the layman won't know. It can be learned, but you must remember scientists write for each other, not for the layman.

This is very cool; thanks for sharing. I remember listening to an Invisibilia episode entitled "How to Become Batman" [1]. It mentioned that blind children grow up and can learn to use echolocation, generating clicking sounds, to explore and to understand their surroundings. But the clicking is not socially acceptable, so many times the child is forced to eschew this technique. I am curious about this technique, what parts of the brain are involved in that, and how to improve upon or supplement or complement this technology to assist the visually impaired by somehow hooking into the similar neuro-pathways used in the echolocation technique. What're your thoughts on this? Have you had children us your device yet?

A few apartment buildings have their own, exclusive, Amazon Locker. Other apartments have general "large package" mail boxes, for parcels from any sender. This seems to be the next step to merge these ideas, giving landlords an Amazon-specific large package mailbox.
That's funny because eBay is horrible for comparison shopping, and imho just as hard to determine knock-off products vs genuine.

Though I do also use NewEgg, which irks me nearly as much as Amazon, in that I always reduce down to the products sold by amazon, same on newegg... I don't want to deal with all the reseller. If Amazon stocks the product, odds are at least the product line is okay. The only place I get bit is misc adapters, some are great, others have a weird fit. That includes Amazon Basics products which are often hit or miss.

In the novel, Deckard considers that he might be an android; he encounters a man who suspects he's not human, and even encounters an entire fake police force. But he isn't, and the point of the novel would be less effective if he were.

A major theme in the novel is the idea that there's a significant difference between the real and the fake. The major characters are depressed, stuck in a world where almost all animals are fake, and there are even fake humans. In the novel, Rachael and the other androids do not have empathy; she throws his sheep off the roof of his building as revenge. The point of Deckard's mission (unlike the movie) isn't necessarily to show us that androids' lives also matter, it's to contrast the fake humans with the all-to-human Deckard. (This part is something of a gray area since we're only told that the Voigt-Kampff test works.)

But it's also true that the movie doesn't really make sense if Deckard is a replicant. First of all, he would be a pitiful replicant; he barely survives his encounter with them, and has none of their superhuman skills. But that's a technical point. But if he is a replicant, the movie has no arc -- it's the story about a guy who kills some replicants and maybe (we don't know) realizes that he himself is a replicant and has four years to live. It's not clever, and provides no emotional resonance.

But if Deckard is human, then it's a story about a man, trained to kill replicants, who learns the value of life, even if it's not natural life. In the movie, despite the existence of the Voigt-Kampff test, the replicants clearly have empathy -- Roy mourning Pris' death is an example. So Deckard, it can be argued, is a bad guy in the movie; he's killing living beings who were designed to be slaves and have escaped from their masters. And the movie is about how, in his pursuit of the replicants, is himself made to be hunted, and learns what it is like to be like (but not actually be) a replicant.

Thematically, the Deckard-is-human interpretation is much more resonant than the Deckard-is-a-replicant interpretation.

Unless I have some external requirement, I write in Clojure. I usually target Postgres as a data store (and use the excellent HoneySQL library for Clojure to do so). I've been liking the productivity of compojure-api, and I don't see a reason to abandon it now that 2.0 is almost out and has major speed ups. It's very hard to pass up the JVM ecosystem for libraries and Clojure let's me abuse those with minimal fuss.

I talked to the delivery people about why, they said the the buttons are too hard to push, so they just leave the packages laying around and nobody really minds anyway, so it's not worth their time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had something like this at an apartment I lived in, it was called 'package concierge.'

It was mostly nice, but where I lived there were issues with execution of the idea. At peak times (holidays) the package robot would get full, because people wouldn't pick up their stuff in a timely manner.

The package robot also had to be loaded by an employee of the building... until then the package hung out in the mail room like normal, but you could only get your package from the package robot... so if the package showed up and no one was around to load the robot, or was slacking off on loading the robot, it actually took longer to get your stuff.

When it worked, however, it was good to be able to pick up your package when you got home from work at midnight without having to talk to anyone or sign anything. Also getting notified via email that you had something waiting was nice.
