I used to be of a very similar mindset to you. Then I launched HR software for businesses that charges £3 per employee per month.

My logic in setting our pricing was exactly the same as yours, if a business is spending £XXXX per month on an employee, why would they possibly scoff at paying £3 per month to ensure that the HR and associated documents/policies etc are correct and compliant? I even went so far as to say if a customer is prepared to spend £3 per employee per month in getting their HR right, I don't want them as a customer (arrogant much?).

To cut a long one short, boy was I wrong. We've had to be steadfast with our pricing model because the comparison people make is not the one you and I want them to make. E.g. I spend X on my staff so this trivial expense by comparison is nothing. Instead people compare the cost of our HR software to £FREE or to that of our competitors - who are in a race to the bottom undercharging one another.

Slack is going to have the same problem unfortunately. Their's could be the best collaboration software in the world but businesses can and will find ways to achieve the same benefits for a lesser cost.

I have Car Play so use Apple Maps a lot. If I am going somewhere new I check the route on google maps as well to see if they agree. I used Apple Maps a lot in France this year on holiday and always got to where I needed to go. Routes chosen were sometimes questionable in terms of using the best road but I have had this with a Garmin in the past as well. It's unfortunate that you cant download an area as you can on google maps but the new european data roaming directive has helped this somewhat.
Yes, used right it does. A lot. Sure, you can use it for goofing off, too, so you should have some etiquette in place for which channels are kept serious, which aren't (and can safely have notifications turned off), which announcements warrants @channel or @here or @person and which don't.

A company where people who feels that it's OK to put a notification on 2000 devices to say "Good morning" or "Lunch, anyone?" can't be reprimanded is a sick company, with or without Slack.

It's important to keep in mind that these etiquettes are the same (or at least very analogues to) the ones that are required for email and especially email lists. A company where everybody puts everybody in the To: line of every email will feel that email is a destructive force, but one that cultivates decent distribution list culture and caution about CC'ing the world or replying to all will feel that it is much more useful.

Small teams benefit the most I feel, and even then I tend to agree it is very distracting. At an agency with many clients I am in the channel for most of them and only ever working on one any given moment. Muting a channel doesn't work as I still get highlights for my very common name. The trouble is I very often do have insight or help to provide in most discussions as I have been here a while, but I still get assigned a full workload plus constantly helping in Slack. I have taken to closing it for the majority of the day. Honestly couldn't imagine Slack in a corporate environment.

Thanks, that explains it! Didn't know that final fields have this special rule and that the value field in the String class is final.

So to recap: this shouldn't be possible for Strings, since the value field in the String class is final and therefore has a memory barrier. But it could happen for other classes with non-final fields.

Untethered initroot CVE-2016-10277
I can't speak for the natural sciences, but I'm an academic in an engineering department at a major university in the UK. My main criticism of the article is that it sort of lets non-humanities off the hook.

I've been sat in seminars in my group (on computer science or engineering topics) and had the same feelings as the author. People invent jargon to describe simple ideas and then convince themselves that it's more precise when it rarely is or, when it is precise, the precision isn't necessary. All it ends up doing is reducing the impact of the research. But it does help with the imposter syndrome of being an early-career academic – everyone else is using all this complicated jargon and you feel a bit like a fraud, so you need to get to grips with it quickly.

This isn't a problem unique to academia though it might be more severe there. There's a section on the gov.uk's 'Writing for GOV.UK' [1] article that I like:

"Government experts often say that because they’re writing technical or complex
content for a specialist audience, they don’t need to use plain English. This is wrong.

Research [2] shows that higher literacy people prefer plain English because it
allows them to understand the information as quickly as possible.

For example, research [3] into use of specialist legal language in legal documents found:

- 80% of people preferred sentences written in clear English - and the more complex the issue, the greater that preference (eg, 97% preferred ‘among other things’ over the Latin ‘inter alia’)

- the more educated the person and the more specialist their knowledge, the greater their preference for plain English"

The problem with spending even $1 in a large organization is that someone's going to have to sign off on it. Its always easier to go for cheaper or free then, since you can argue fiscal due diligence (even if it may not be in the long run) and thus have a stronger case for whoever is making the call.

This is why gentlemen's agreements with clients to overbill a day or so instead of charging for travel expenses and the likes can be much better for everyone involved. (N.b. can be, it isn't always better.)
The frustrating thing about political jargon is that some folks intentionally twist the meanings. The meanings shift much faster in that field than others.
Slack notifications are tunable.

The only interruptions I get from Slack are when someone mentions my name. I subscribe to a number of Slack channels, but only see activity there when I'm looking for it. (Except for a production problem channel, where I get a notification for all activity in the channel.)

When I have time to check Slack, I can catch up on unread messages, I don't have to read them all in real-time.
> The view of the night sky is stunning. You can see the Milky Way with the naked eye, and the sheer number of stars is magnificent

Note that you can see the Milky Way with naked eyes also outside of reservates. Maybe most people forget this when living in a city, but all you need for a stunning sky view is to go to the next grassland on the countryside around your city. (And you need non-cloudy weather, of course.)

It might not be as perfect as in the preservates, but compared to what you see within a city, it is a huge difference. You see at least 10 times as many stars. And of course you see the Milky Way clearly.

(But beware that a beginner might mistake large, thin clouds for the Milky Way. Also, note that beginners might be confused by the sheer amount of stars, being unable to identify even basic star signs. The trick here is to visit the grassland on sunset, then wait for the dusk, and watch as more and more stars appear on the sky. The first seen (i.e. brightest) stars are usually easy to identify, then you see the brighter star signs, and finally have enough orientation to recognize the rest of the sky as it appears.)

My first reaction was "it shone for 14 days and only Korean astronomers noticed it?"
Then I googled for that nova and eventually found this interesting article https://academic.oup.com/astrogeo/article/47/1/1.29/258488/W...

It seems that Koreans were particularly keen at looking for novae. Cloudy skys, lack of fast global communications, the small number of people looking for faint new stars could explain why nobody else noticed it. For example, about the supernova of 1604 which was visible during the day:

> "On the 30th [of September], the sudden breaking of the clouds afforded one of Kepler's friends an opportunity of having a very short view of it… On the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th of October, it was seen by several persons in different places. On account of cloudy weather at Prague, where Kepler resided, he did not see it until the 8th of that month."

If that's happened to a supernova, I can imagine a nova could slip away unnoticed.

Bitcoin does not meet the requirements identified by the academic community for a usable digital currency. On the other hand, it works (while nothing that came out of academia in this area ever has). Infer from that what you will.

It would be nice if science had a term for its equivalent of "outsider art."
Apple maps has better traffic information in Paris. Google will happily send you to a closed station and it does not have marked exists. Both are shit compared to City Mapper though. However in general Apple has far fewer locations and generic search works less well (e.g. looking for a cleaner). Apple maps has better integration (but that is a low blow) and better interface for walking.

Google has better offline mode and caches maps for longer, so it works better without internet connection.
Those are two orthogonal concerns. A (theoretical) browser in full screen mode might or might not display UI elements/browser chrome. A windowed browser might or might not display browser chrome.

A chromeless windowed browser would look something like QuickTime in macOS, if that helps you; the window consists entirely of the playing video until you mouse over it.
Descriptive science is equally important as predictive science, but either way, science is not our only tool for knowledge. Statistical predictive models do happen to be in vogue, though.
That's a disadvantage IMHO.
I keep seeing complaints like this with Slack and I think it's because teams need to focus on setting up the right rooms and the right conventions to go with those rooms. Then relentlessly explaining, encouraging, and enforcing them to keep everyone in flow.

As one example, to cut down on DMs, each of our team members has their own room where people can "drop in" messages asynchronously. This means there's no notification and no expectation of immediate response, but that's a good thing because we use an agile process where people should be able to focus on their daily goals without distraction anyway. DMs then become a rare & discouraged channel only for emergencies and sensitive conversations.
To the point, WhatsApp is designed that way. Wire [1], which also has end-to-end encryption of all chats, supports syncing across multiple devices and doesn't have this requirement of a master device. Wire also stores encrypted chats on the server for a limited time, just like WhatsApp does.

That works well for leaves of the component tree, but not in deeply nested hierarchies. You never now whether some subcomponent in your <NavBar> requires state.serverInfo.frobnicationCount...
Valid point. You can move that logic to the component and leave the store for pure data manipulation and handling only. I do that for bigger projects, but in this case I wanted to make things short.

The goal of this series is not to teach patterns but to promote a simple and flexible stack that you can use with the patterns that you like. (In your case you can move the view specific logic to the level of the components).
IRC is simplistic and hacked together (no proper spec covering everything) but you can talk the protocol manually via telnet to test things.

XMPP is "cleaner" by many measures, and far better specified, but is verbose and complex.

Both have large ecosystems of software you can lean on, with different pros and cons.

People will have different preferences with respect to which is most suitable to build on.

WhatsApp is not strictly P2P and your belief that it doesn't store information on its servers, by claiming "it's definitely impossible retrieve data that simply isn't there", isn't true. It does store encrypted messages on its servers for up to 30 days while it attempts to deliver it. [1]

Apple Maps is still pretty much unusable in New Zealand, missing or bad information, no finer detail than maybe street name or even suburb, almost non-existent search capability that seems to guess the wrong place if it can't find what you're looking for.

> Also, IRC and XMPP servers are cheap.

This may be the case, but they have a cost to set up and maintain, and for companies that aren't almost all developers there's a significant overhead in terms of teaching people how to use IRC/XMPP. Client software for them is often not written with UX in mind, and with the lack of features like uploads/document embedding, using them can be more difficult.

Bitcoin was originally a Windows only program. We used Wine to run it on Mac/Linux in the early days:

https://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/23827020/

I used to be a Wine developer so it didn't put me off when I first found the project, but I'm sure the fact that it was Windows only hurt the projects uptake in the first year. It wasn't until Bitcoin 0.2 that a Linux version was available.
