I like Slack as a product.

I hate how a lot of open source projects have adopted it as the de-facto community discussion forum, mainly because it's a product designed for companies/organisations - not a disparate band of interested contributors.

In my password manager I have 8 passwords for different Slack "teams" that I've joined, because you can't just have one account.

Being on some mailing lists, the most annoying spam is from people requesting an invite to the community Slack channel. Every day you'll get at least one or two people wanting an invite.

It's silly, but I don't see what the alternative is - Slack has built a product that people like, it's just it doesn't gel well outside a corporate environment in my opinion

and here's the kicker, tested on an ancient pc from 2004 with Pentium 4
Joyent Triton.
You could not use a deterministic wallet instead.

But by default, non-deterministic wallets have the next 100 addresses pre-generated. That's a lot for people not making a lot of bitcoin transactions. The "protection" that non-deterministic wallets give in case you're hacked is probably no use to most people.

If you ever notice funds from your wallet are stolen, even if you were using a non-deterministic wallet, your thought should be to reinstall your OS and move any remaining funds to a fresh new wallet. Not to keep using that wallet while the attacker keeps grabbing from it and telling yourself the problem will go away 100ish transactions later.

I guess there's attack vectors where an attacker gets hold of an ancient backup of yours that a non-deterministic wallet could have helped. If you think that type of attack is likely against you, you should just manually swap out to a new wallet (synced up to your backup schedule) instead of depending on the non-deterministic wallet's keypool being depleted occasionally.
Maybe hands off compared to now, but not compared to any other OS of the same era. If it's not activation licences (it's always amused me that performing a hardware upgrade on a cracked copy of XP was less troublesome than on a legally purchased copy), it's frequent notifications "you're not running our firewall", "you don't seem to be running our preferred antivirus", etc. And worse yet, Windows Updates often sneaks in updates for new software you didn't even request and often don't want: Bing search bars, Microsoft's shitty AV, MSN Messenger (back in the 90s), Silverlight, Windows 10(!!!) etc.

Compare that to Linux, OS X, BeOS, any of the BSDs, etc and the difference is night and day. Ok, Ubuntu had a stint of including Amazon results in their search but they were relatively transparent about that and it was quickly disabled by default after the backlash they, deservingly imo, received.

Windows has always been very "hands on" because it's designed for users who are very "hands off".
And in the US, there are states where an atheist is legally barred from being governor. And you can be pretty sure that blaspheming in the nations listed with the best scores will be more acceptable than blaspheming in the religiose US.

As I said, there is a difference between law and implementation.

Also, it's not true that the top-scorers have blasphemy laws - most of them don't have one at all at the moment, and the ones that did were mostly used in the early part of last century (and rarely at that). Even Germany's 'blasphemy' law is actually a 'disturbing the peace' law; you're not going to go to jail for saying 'christ' when you hit your thumb with a hammer.

but what performance issues do you have?
Sure, slack might be resource hungry, but it doesn't feel "slow" to me.
> And how do you justify your behaviour? oO?

If you're productive for 4 hours a day you need to avoid causing harm for the other 4 hours. Noodling around on code when you're not productive carries greater risk of introducing errors.

I hope most programmers are not being paid per hour, but for the quality and quantity of their output. But I accept that many managers see those unproductive hours and imagine they could be productive if the employee just did more work.
Look at their past performance, luck is just too unlikely for their string of successes.
I disagree.

The presence of a persistent arb premium was what made me back off Gox. As a quant trading guy it just seemed too fishy that a one-way arb could persist. I wrote an arb engine to take advantage of the price difference but I concluded there was too much credit risk in it. Which turned out to be correct. At best the arb was explicable as slow operations getting money out of the bank, but that would in the very best case be total incompetence. Plus the forums were saying a lot of not nice things about the management, so definitely failed the sniff test. Remember it's not the balance of probabilities that matters; it's the worst case.

Coinbase, by contrast, has VC backing that you would think means they'd find someone who understood regulatory issues. They'd also have links to proper tech people who understood security and exchange coding, a pretty small subset of coders since it's quite specialised. They may not have started with everything required but chances are they've found the money to buy it by now.

But if you wanted to use Java 8, which has been available since 2014, on Android you need to target at least Android 7.0, skipping out on 4.4-6 which is a huge market.

Full Disclosure: I'm a Red Hat Consultant for OpenShift.

There's lots of Container platforms these days. Docker Swarm, Rancher, OpenShift (and it's upstream project, OpenShift Origin), still others. IMO, the leading edge ones are based on Kubernetes [00]. I'm (obviously) most familiar with OpenShift so I'll speak to that and I'll answer questions honestly if you have them for me.

From field experience, once you have your hardware or VMs ready [0][1][2][3], it takes 10 minutes to stand up a one node cluster or about 30 minutes for an HA cluster with 9 nodes (3 masters, 3 infrastructure nodes, 3 application nodes). We have blogs written by Eric Schabell [4] that show you how install a basic system with a script in minutes. We also have minishift [5] (downstream of minikube [6]) which is another great way to try OpenShift on Linux, MacOS, or Windows with Vagrant and VirtualBox. Paying customers can download CDK [7] on RHEL, MacOS or Windows. You can also try it at OpenShift Online [8] (hosted OpenShift as a Service) or OpenShift.io [9] (IDE and DevOps tools integrated with OpenShift Online).

I hope the above doesn't sound too much like an advertisement but we offer several FOSS ways to try it and I linked to upstreams where applicable.

Well Shepparton and Mooroopna has quite a substantial number if Chinese farm workers. In Safeway, nearly whole Saturday is busy with Chinese farm workers shopping. I haven't really enquired on which specific farm they work, because they generally shun interaction and also due to language barrier.

Also, Shepparton has a substantial Punjabi farming population and I can tell you from experience that the farmers do take inputs from Tatura Agricultural institute but the management to production to packing is all Punjabis. Your comment is significantly false information. Shepparton is filled with people who don't have local know-how, but have developed it.

Does anyone use WebRTC for production all setup manually than using services like tokbox or twilio? How is the performance? What mistakes would you recommend avoiding? and lastly, what tools do you use?

Thanks
Dividends do not matter.

A companies assets belong the shareholder - so if the money is in Google's bank account or transferred to the investors bank account, it the same thing, technically.

Imagine a corp with $10B in the bank, valued at $25B, implying 'future returns in present dollars' are worth $15B. Add that to $10B in the bank you get $25B.

Now - if they company paid out $10B in a massive dividend - what is the company now worth? --> $15B.

When money comes out of the company, the value of the company goes down by that amount.

Technically.

Obviously it's more complicated, and it relates a lot to whether or not a company can re-invest the company better than an investor could otherwise.

But in the end, it's all baked into the value of the stock.

So it really doesn't matter that much.

Most startups don't pay dividends because cash is much more valuable, and they have places to spend it.

A company sitting on a hoard of cash, probably should pay dividends, otherwise, it's operating ratios aren't going to be that great.

Ex: MSFT bank account was so big at one point, analysts had to treat MS as 1/2 a 'software company' and 1/2 a 'hedge fund' - because the performance of MS was only about 1/2 'how their business was doing' - the rest of their stock performance was just 'how their fund managers were doing'. 5% returns on MS's investments, are maybe worse than the bigger returns they get by investing in their business.

Only companies with big cash piles - or - really predictable set of earnings pay dividends. If you are a massive company that sells 'crackers' and have been around for 120 years, and your business doesn't change much and are healthy - you probably pay dividends. Startups - not so much.

They gave China their secret sauce (well, actually, China demanded it as a prerequisite) in return for access to one billion new customers.

China then cloned the tech and under-priced the foreign competition. See: High-speed rail, wind-turbines etc.

Can't say if it was the 'right' thing to do for Western companies. But it was brilliant for China, who are now, in turn, buying up Western manufacturing companies.

I think this is an urban legend, or at least a major hyperbole. The Chinese businesses (at least the ones I know in Kenya) all employ lots of locals. What is Chinese is management and most of the highly skilled workers.

It's more about keeping the value-add than creating jobs for Chinese. We can argue that it's bad for locals, but unlike western colonialism, this happens under the rules the local governments have set them self. As the article points out - this might change if the Chinese government feels it needs to protect it's interests abroad - which could happen if a populist anti-chinese movement appears.

The culture around what should be in a package is vastly different. Node has left-pad. Debian has stuff like Apache. Sure, those are radical examples, but the barrier to entry for Debian is pretty high (as is the standard for quality) vs npm where anyone can put whatever out there.

How do things like left-pad even come to be widespread dependencies? Does the node development process involve a lot of "gee I wonder if someone made a package for (simple thing I need to do with a few lines of code)"?

Well pip has the same problem as NPM : no namespaces by default.

But NPM is worse with all its dependencies of dependencies. Composer (PHP) got both namespace and dependencies right: flat dependencies, it's up to the developer to resolve conflicts, not to the package manager to create insane dependency trees.

It leads to more stable packages and make spotting fakes easier.
I absolutely agree with the article. I personally keep a daily journal and it helps me a great deal - relieve stress and everything. Kinda cool for productivity as well. You just vizualize things when you write and then have not so many problems actually doing them.

The entire essay reeks of PR; if they were so security conscious they'd pick SmartOS zones with their full isolation as the basic building block, or even OpenBSD and extended it. Instead, they picked an OS with a very wide attack surface and a history of vulnerabilities. If you were setting about to design a security minded product, would you pick a substrate like Linux or one like OpenBSD?

As far as I can research, diet plays a large role. As does environment.
It happened once.

I applied for jobs to build API's, and got into this company that wants to get some API's done. First week in, the project to build the API platform was deprioritised and placed on the back burner. Then in the sprint meetings they're trying to find some python work for me to do. Two months later I'm shuffled to another team to work on the enterprise planning platform. In this role I'm supposed to communicate to all stakeholders and help them get information easily to make decisions. I'm in a "flat" team of 3 reporting to an executive. Half a year in, I did not pass probation because my communication skills to gather and implement a consensus of all company leaders is insufficient as well as my ability to working in a team where expectations are implicit (no roles assigned) are deficient, especially because I'm still trying to stick to my original job description.

I probably should have started looking for another role three weeks in. But I did not have the judgement at the time.
> It's a truly awful language.

If you use it like, say, perl, then yes - some of the code looks horrible.

If you take a step back, really try to grok it, and then use it like a lisp (but for strings, rather than linked-lists), then its actually quite elegant (with sometimes messy indentation).

If you take another step back, glance sideways, look at every other unix shell, then look again at tcl's "undefined cmd" behaviour, the exec cmd, its inherent lispiness (see above) ...

... then you smack yourself on the head when you realise this is yet another defeat grasped from the jaws of victory.

Tcl should have replaced bash et al.

Especially so for jimtcl (a lightweight reimplementation of tcl, started by the redis author).

>dogfooding

The term "dogfooding" is a tech slang for the use of one's own products. In some uses, it implies that developers or companies are using their own products to work out bugs, as in beta testing. One benefit of dogfooding is that it shows that a company is confident about its products.

I didnt know what the term meant so had to look it up. Yeah, I agree.

I remember 1-1.5 years ago, the Supreme Court had asked the government to publish widely in print and electronic media to make it clear that Aadhar was not mandatory. It was never done. I don't really see a situation where the government would back out of Aadhar, regardless of supreme court rulings. The court has reiterated this many times but the government has shown that it does not care.

“The Union of India shall give wide publicity in the electronic and print media including radio and television networks that it is not mandatory for a citizen to obtain an Aadhaar card.”

But the way Aadhaar usage is being conceived by the Govt it seems to do more with the "tracking" aspect of it than finding trails of money. In fact it has little to do with the "money". For that we already have had PAN numbers (in case of individuals) which are unique and the Govt and the Income Tax department has record of it, so do the banks.

Also, the way Aadhaar has been handled by the private contractors (the way the contracts were given are also very questionable), and the way they have gotten unrestricted, unregulated access to it (and it doesn't seem someone has been done to curb this) is really disconcerting as a citizen.

Then, there's "Snoopgate". It was hushed as if it never existed.
