> Voting is easy. Participation is difficult. In most cases, the local political system has evolved to perpetuate the interests of those who have been in power the longest. Creating change is 100x more difficult than maintaining the status quo. And that built-in resistance to change is corruptible.

Yes, that's called "human organizations" and it happens wherever there are three or more people trying to do a thing. :) Politicking is messy and difficult because humans are messy and difficult. To be honest, it's amazing we've made it this far.

> It's a rejection of the established political system as the most efficient means of producing the desired effects.

And my argument is that people who think that we'd be better off with a "full rewrite" (and I know several of them) are ignorant of history and the civic structures that exist around them that are absolutely available to anyone willing to participate. It's not hard to get on a school board, or become a county commissioner. Those things aren't necessarily easy like microwaving a burrito is easy, but they're not necessarily difficult like getting a PhD is difficult. That is to say, yes, politicking takes work, but that shouldn't be unexpected or surprising.

> You can vote your whole life, and never see a speck of change until after you join a general strike or boycott.

It all depends on what you're trying to do. Zoning changes are probably better handled by voting for better city council members and attending meetings, for example; a strike won't particularly help there. And yes, part of democracy means losing. Sometimes you lose a whole hell of a lot. I think what people (particularly the left, as of late) tend to forget is that sometimes when you lose it's because the people in your city, district, etc. actually have a different enough point of view that they can get their changes enacted. In other words, it IS possible to lose fair and square. That's obviously super abstract, and the real world is messy, but it's easy to interpret every failed election as a sign that the system is broken, when in reality, you just couldn't convince enough people that you're right.

I guess my overall point is: at this point in time, I don't think it's fair to say "the system doesn't work, so I'm not going to participate". I think that is an unfair characterization of the hundreds of thousands of available political offices in the United States, and other various ways of getting involved civically. I once door-knocked for a city clerk candidate and one of my neighbors said that he'd vote for the guy just because he heard his name from me and that he'd remember my quick spiel. It doesn't take much to make a difference, and it's better than just shooting him. That doesn't mean the system is perfect, because it certainly isn't, but I don't think it's nearly to the point where we should scrap the entire thing (if we could even survive) and start over.

Hipchat, Facebook's Workplace, and whatever Microsoft's service is are all competitors but I don't think any of them are serious. Hipchat is probably the biggest competitor, but that's because it was around before Slack.

When there's a serious competitor in the space, then I'm sure they'll start caring. For now, I don't think anything else is close.
Indeed. The advocacy for Universal Basic Income for the top 1% has always struck me as a wealth insurance move on their behalf. Sustain the status quo and the great unwashed won't sack your property portfolio.
I often like to write out programs by hand (in some sort of pseudocode or whatever language I'm currently using) on "paper", except that "paper" is GoodNotes on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. The benefit is that I can move things around after I write them. So, I can insert lines, indent or un-indent blocks, or move code into a subroutine. I can also easily add little diagrams. It's really opens up a new way of thinking! It's gotten to the point where when I'm at a whiteboard, I have the urge to rearrange stuff minority-report-style, until I remember that it's not a huge iPad.

CppCon 2016: Dan Saks “extern c: Talking to C Programmers about C++”

Embedded Development with Dan Saks

http://cppcast.com/2016/10/dan-saks/

Regarding Java vs C++, yes the enterprise world has adopted Java, however as someone doing consulting across Java, .NET and C++, I am really seeing it coming back since ANSI C++ has picked up steam again.

I see it in projects related to IoT, AI, VR, big data,....

They are all polyglot projects with C++ plus something else, not C plus something else.
This is exactly where the "suicide warning" on anti-depressants come from.

The "I want to die" thought and the "my shotgun is loaded" thought are at their core, the same "I don't want to live". However, the later has motive and intent behind it.

The whole goal of anti-depressants is basically to give you motive and intent. In many cases, that can be really good but it also means you have motive for the suicidal thoughts that still linger around.

They probably had a meeting about it, using either Hangouts, Hangouts Meet, Hangouts Chat, Duo, or Allo...
That didn't sound right to me, but I looked it up, and you're right.

The scripts we're discussing were written in 2002 [1], so the time-appropriate version is POSIX-2001 (Issue 6).

[1]: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/55d0b8395514ae4055...

But you don't have to take my word for it: I've paste-bin'ed the entirety of what POSIX-2001 had to say about shell built-ins (in general, I didn't include man-pages for individual built-ins): https://lukeshu.com/dump/posix-2001-builtins.txt

As for whether that's still true today, looking at POSIX-2008 (Issue
7), 2013 edition (I don't have a copy of the 2016 edition handy), none
of that has changed.
Just for reference, being in the "top 1%" in the US means about $300k income and/or $3m net worth at age 40. That's not "buy a politician" rich, but it is also not the average professional or small business owner.
> assuming that you know the market better than the market leader.

I never made that claim.

> They're killing it for a reason

Sure, but who knows what that reason really is. I've gone through numerous cycles of "best chat app ever", and they're pretty much all in the dustbin now. I just don't see anything about Slack that makes it any better than several alternatives other than the number of users. In fact it's objectively worse than alternatives in several ways. The video and regular calling for example is pretty terrible on anything less than a high speed internet connection. In general the app often fails to load on weak WIFI. I can still use Skype, Discord, Gittr, Facebook Messenger, Signal, et.al. on coffeeshop wifi, but not Slack. You don't need to be a genius to see that this is a problem.
How is this different from regular Uber? Will it be billed to my insurance? If so Uber has found a brilliant way to charge 10 and 20x rates for regular Uber rides.

Sorry, I am very skeptical when it comes to healthcare offerings.
Yes, I didn't really want to go through each point in the article. But here's a few things to consider as you read it:

- The article reads like those arguments we have in our heads where we always win.
- The article is from 2011
- The article says "come back in 10 years when people aren't running browsers from 2008"
(we're not to 2021 yet but the majority of browsers are evergreen now)
- We have SubtleCrypto now
- We have SubResourceIntegrity
- We have CORS and CSP

The article has some valid points, but I posit that it is more harmful than helpful. We need an Mozilla-style "arewesecureyet" website instead.
On the plus side, a notebook doesn't have connection to the internet...
The justification is hard - you would have to run serious longitudinal studies. By that point the damage (or not) is done.
In fact this could be considered an unsanctioned social experiment, doubly unethical because it is ran on children and bypasses parental oversight.

Just consider what happens in quite heavily militarized countries such as South Korea. They get large numbers of people who are obedient and respect authority - this on top of the general Asian proclivity to do so.

Or perhaps see what happens in Israel and Palestine with all the missile drills.

This is reactionary nonsense. In no sense is any culturally transmitted system of metaphysics "inherently part of you", any more than driving on the right- or left-hand side of the road is "inherently part of you".
I'm not sure what your point is. I was criticizing another comment for neglecting the role of principles in political choices. So it seems like you agree with me?
My criticism isn't just about RAM use. Slack is plain unusable on weak WIFI or slow connections. It also tolerates interruptions in connectivity very poorly. Video calling is more often than not terrible, and it has about the worst screen sharing experience I'm aware of at the moment.

If I were starting a new company, I wouldn't use Slack again.
I'm not convinced that folks would defer to new religions to address those questions.

I don't have data to support it, but I think the modern mind is better equipped to accept uncertainty and ignorance these days so some might just allow those questions to remain presently unanswered.

Even if the scientific method doesn't directly answer a question, it models the approach of using a placeholder for things not yet known rather than demanding someone make shit up to eliminate the unknown.
Looks like they have an influx of the MBA and ex Microsoft types. Sad!

What's the new Google these days?
IRC doesn't solve those problems; individual users solve those problems on top of IRC (and usually not very well.)

A proper open-ecosystem solution would involve network-level history-storage-and-retrieval nodes (basically archival peers in the IRC protocol), and additions to the protocol to direct archive-access queries to those nodes.
Always copying is what ZFS does as far as I know - so that the final write on raidz can be a pointer swap at the top of the tree.

IRC is not a service. It's a protocol. There are services built on IRC mentioned in this thread which have history as a built-in feature.
That's the perfect way to put it! Definitely going to steal this for later use.
> "At their scale, that's a small fine. Barely 10% of annual net profit."

That quote does not appear in the linked article. Where does it come from, and who is "their"?
Not much beyond looking at the product pages. The only piece of Office 365 that we are in love with is Word. Slack is the choice right now for us because we can use G Suite as our identity provider for SSO and the Slack integrations that are available for other products we use as well as our internal system.

The effort barrier just to get Office 365 to use G Suite for SSO keeps us from seriously deploying any of the other Office 365 features. It seems MS has made setting that up particularly annoying while almost all other app/providers have made it blissfully simple. We would probably be more likely to move to the new Hangouts Chat as a slack replacement, just because we are much more likely to continue to use Gmail/Calendar vs ever moving to Outlook 365/Exchange.

Have you lived in any of the progressive social-democratic nations? Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Canada, Norway?

I think their societal structures are much better suited for the technologically advanced world we live in today.
I used to write algorithms and solutions to my Delphi programs in paper when I was bored at school, in 2009/2010. It was very cool to think a great solution and write it. But for learning programming it is awfull and I don't know why universities still insist in using this method in classes and exams.
I think what this means is an integration with Google Drive in Dropbox itself. You might need to connect your Google account with Dropbox (by allowing permission of course) and can then able to access GDrive files in Dropbox or create a Docs/Slide/Sheet from within Dropbox which will in turn save it in Dropbox and GDrive both. At least that's what I am getting from this announcement.
If you click on the article spacebar starts scrolling again. Weird.
Well yeah, of course it's just my opinion. I think my experience with Slack is pretty different, as I use it in my 9-5, and we often have to find work arounds for places where it's just plain broken. Specifically, the screen sharing and video calls often just don't work.
If the server was rooted, couldn't an attacker silently intercept and swap out a csr with their own during domain validation, and thus get certificates approved based on fraudulent csr where the corresponding private keys are controlled by the attacker? Maybe even throw in a few "oops, please retry validation" to hide the fact that a different public key was signed in the certificate and the real customer would be none the wiser (except for perhaps looking at CT logs)?
