Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, the examples are simple on purpose -- just to let people get the feel of it.

It can run both arbitrarily large (e.g. 8x12 on an iPad) puzzles, as well as "chain" them -- so you'd have to solve 2 or 3 simple ones on a small screen.

Bot protection is actually in three tiers:

1) "window pane" margin, and obfuscation of the edge area -- while examples are running 'clear' to make things as easy and pretty as possible -- in production mode I can "fuzzy" a boundary that's uneven depth ("wavy") to prevent both simple edge alignment and probabilistic sampling from the perimeter areas.

2) JS being auto-generated from a changing template -- so there are multiple fake functions and objects with random names you'd have to parse out before you get to manipulate the image fragments

3) "Classic" perimeter defense -- e.g. "rate of http requests from this address", etc.

Thanks for taking a look at it!
Correct. emacs-slack uses WebSockets and Slack's Real-Time Messaging API.

Ah, the Amiga was such an amazing machine. I never owned one, but I actually subscribed to all the magazines.

Watching old Computer Chronicles episodes – and seeing stuff like this – really makes me think about how different computing was before it became a device for consuming more than a device for creating. Back then, you really had to have a passion or at least a real desire to learn a new medium.

It's so interesting to see the unique things people did with their early Amigas, Apples, Macs, etc – and how many people learned to program out of necessity.

I see Slack is now big enough that they can stop pretending to care about interoperability, and essentially pulled a Google Talk on us all. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Heh, wasn't thinking of going that old, more like a Thinkpad T430 (can be had for $150) or newer depending on budget. Any of that line will run your distro of choice without issue.

> If I were a homeowner in such a zone and I had just bought into a neighborhood that was zoned single family residential or just sunk 250K into a remodel in the same zone, and then all of sudden a bunch of developers not even from the neighborhood try to lobby to change the zoning, I'd feel shortchanged.

Somewhat understandable, but there's a housing crisis. We need more housing, particularly in economically booming areas. For the government, serving people's needs -- and housing and decent jobs are both needs -- has to come before people's wants.

> Victorian neighborhoods of SF with less loss of character.

The current "character" of low-density SFH-only areas is "poors keep out", so I'm less than enthused about keeping it. It's disgusting that government regulation unabashedly supports classist bullshit like that. It's barely better than redlining.

I think one day we'll look back, and be flabbergasted that we tolerated things being this way for so long, the way we segregate people -- and especially children in their schools -- by income.
WeeChat with the wee-slack plugin is pretty good (https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack). That doesn't help folks that don't use WeeChat though.

I have been investigating Riot/Matrix lately. One of the things that really bothers me about the Slack desktop client is its lack of multiple windows. Participating in more than one conversation at a time is a flurry of clicks/keystrokes to keep up. Unfortunately the Riot client doesn't appear to have multiple windows either and the status of the Slack gateway is somewhat unclear.
Spring Boot, but that includes Spring Security (was Acegi) and Spring MVC. Spring Data (JPA) has taken over from Hibernate.
> In your toy system a stone that stays still (DC) would have no power (potential energy).

This is false. In the toy system, weight is current, height is voltage. A stone that stays still has constant voltage, not zero voltage. Thus, it would have a 'power'.

What the system lacks is to define the stone as a capacitive load. Then it would sorta make sense.

It is a hypothetical system, so you can only reason about the aspects the author defined. Tying potential energy in the toy system to real-world potential energy doesn't work.

(Btw, potential energy is not power, it is work. Power is work over time.)

> As a matter of fact the average DC power does not depend on frequency.

Uhm. "DC power" stops existing if the frequency ≠ 0, so in that sense it does depend on frequency.

It's true that power itself is not frequency dependent. However, any load is, as reactive losses (parasitic or not) are a function of the frequency. As the power is a function of the load, power ends up being directly tied to the frequency.

(A resistive load cannot exist outside of a perfect DC system, so reactive loads will exist).

And? I am absolutely tired of companies taking a giant dump on the experience of desktop applications. If you're going to make a desktop app make a damned desktop app, stop making everybody accept a terrible electron app because "oh no, I have to do extra work" - give me a break.

How many companies still maintain native iOS and Android apps? Lots. Qt even feels (mostly) native on GNOME desktops these days, if you can't afford to develop a 100% native app for Win, Linux and Mac then at least use a real toolkit that gets you 80% of the way there whereas Electron gets you 0%.
China’s Long Arm Reaches into American Campuses
If the speech recognition is done on the device, the amount of data could be very small indeed. If I was to do this, what I would do would be to defer the heavy lifting of speech recognition (if it caused any significant load on any of the chips) and perform it in the background, later, when the device is known to be plugged in to power. That way this kind of work would not be impacting the battery. I don't think looking at the amount of data is going to tell you much unless they have done things in a spectacularly stupid way.
Man the java era was seriously seriously wrong[1]. IMO it's only there because people invested so much, they'll never cut their losses and stay in denial for one or two decades.

I go to firsthand sources, or at the very least more informative write ups than news articles, for things that are going to influence my decisions or that I have more than the minimum amount of curiosity for. That rarely has anything to do with News though. High level politics - particularly foreign (US for me), natural disasters, celebrity deaths, war progress, spy poisonings, sports results, etc all have very little to do with my life.

I specifically included the water cooler part because that's what Generic News is for me. Conversation fodder and entertainment. I can live with even the filtered down information I take from it being possibly wrong.
I agree with your points! Just thought I'd lyk though that Vine was an acquisition, not a Twitter-born project.

Then you're letting employers take advantage of you. The whole tip system is a scam in the first place. It should be a business's responsibility to price appropriately.
The two things IRC is actually missing for most people is push notifications and "offline" history. Yes you can get these if you run your own bouncer, or whatever, but it's not native to the technology. I think Matrix is ahead of IRC for solving both of those issues.

I used to use this trick, but got sick of fighting the bulk spam sent to admin@, postmaster@, etc. the filters got most of it, but damn it was annoying whenever they changed tactics and a small flood would sneak by before being identified by the filters and further spam prevented.
Cookies have some excellent security features ("secure" flag, "http" flag to prevent javascript from acesssing it, and "same-site" flag for CSRF prevention on modern browsers).

Do you mean weight or mass? Is gravity a thing here?

If you define mass/inertia as capacitance, then the resistance to changes make sense. A pure resistive load (which cannot exist, but lets ignore that) is not frequency dependent.
This is an example of the kind of business problem Slack is solving incredibly well relative to {chat client X}. Slack's not just a Slack client, it's user lifecycle management, tiered administration, a granular permission model for integrated applications, etc etc etc.

How you solve those problems impacts and is impacted by the messaging protocol. If Slack is going to keep moving fast on features that matter for businesses, they're likely to keep needing protocol features that wouldn't necessarily be the priority for an open standard.
Ask HN: Best way to develop multi platform apps?
I was thinking of using Electron but see that a lot of people complain about it (memory hog, slow.. just saw it again in the slack thread).

Previously I used Adobe Air (long back) but it too suffered from same issues.

So what is the best way to create an app that can be compiled and distributed on Windows(exe), Macos (dmg), Android (apk), iOS (ipa?), Linux easily?
While this is terrible it does have a silver lining; a regular at the pub intervened and actually told the guy to leave prior to the incident. When the aggressor returned the same man, Ian Grillot, intervened again and was shot twice trying to subdue the assailant. That is a pretty brave thing to do on behalf of 2 strangers.

It is at least somewhat interesting that there is so much state-sponsored attacking going on that the incidence of two different states/teams ending up on the same box is not only non-negligible, but even common.

It also makes you wonder why it isn't commonplace to harden targets against the exploit that was used to get in, to deny that space to competitors. Perhaps it is, and it's just that there's so many vulnerabilities out there that it's common for multiple teams to break into the same box via different exploits.
As an American who moved to Munich, this is exactly correct.

In American cities, I can always tell whether a neighborhood is rich or poor or middle-class. I notice even without thinking about it, it's blatantly obvious by the homes and the cars and the environment.

In Munich, even when I'm trying to figure out how rich an area is, I usually can't tell. In terms of income distribution at least, most parts of the city -- and its suburbs -- feel roughly similar, in that they have a mix of people. This undoubtedly has to do with the fact that even "low density" parts of Munich still have duplexes, triplexes, and small apartment complexes (but more tastefully designed than ones in the states, I admit).
There's the business-facing products too; dashboards, analytics, insights, content curation, etc. tools for advertisers.

Not to mention internal engineering too, from dev-ops and platform to potentially even custom HR tools.

Again, not saying they're not overstaffed. But a lot of people seem to forget about the internal teams supporting other engineers/employees.

They buy the info from massive data brokers, who buy data from other large and small data brokers, who buy the data from app makers, services, etc. User123@gmail.com expressed interest in buying kitty litter isn't exactly sensitive information so there's probably not much in the way of auditable logs maintained, probably impossible to determine the original provenance of the data in many cases.

I'm not 100% sure what's involved in jailbreaking iOS, but I'm pretty sure on a rooted Android you could put measures in place to "fake" results for any root checks the Facebook app would run. You could patch any APIs Facebook could use to make such checks.

I don't rely on slack at work (we use mostly emails and some skype), I'm also part of a small-ish team, so I have to ask: do people in bigger-ish teams really send gif after animated gif in their work-related slack conversations? And if the answer is "yes", what does that help accomplish?
In my humble opinion, we are missing something here. I am not a Facebook user since a long time. But something really interesting happens whenever me or my girlfriend are talking about a particular product.

She gets related ads in the web wherever she goes. She has Facebook installed in the phone while I don't.

But the interesting thing is that this is not happening to me. Never. I do not get ads for scuba diving suits if we speak about it. She does. How can we explain this?

Mandating minimum parking is part of how America got so damn fat.

America has a brazenly stupid and counterproductive car culture. Cars are fine and good in moderation, but the way we promote them to the exclusion of all else is ridiculous.

>>Sympathetic to the plight of the homeless, but

Doubtful, if you have to sat "I am x but" that means you understand you are about to disprove your own position

Like saying "I support freedom of speech but..." No you do not...

>>there needs to be enforcement of laws and respect to the neighborhood that you are living in, whether or not you are homeless.

There needs to be respect for the individual and if a person is not causing physical harm to another person they need to be left alone.

"Respect" is a nebulous subjective concept that the government has no business attempting to enforce with law

"The Law" is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces. And this common force is to do only what the individual forces have a natural and lawful right to do: to protect persons, liberties, and properties; to maintain the right of each, and to cause justice to reign over us all.

The whole point of free speech is to be able to express. The current president has always erred on the side of expressing too much, and I'd say that we'd be better off without most of his tweets, or him in office. However, none of that is opposing free speech.

That sounds pretty authoritarian. The whole point of freedom is that we are able to be right or wrong. It's our choice. That's "the consent of the governed." Do I wish the election had gone differently? Yes. But simpleminded vilifying of almost 1/2 of the country isn't a constructive approach.
The Microphone access switch in Privacy settings is not just to make users feel better – it enforces that the app has zero access to the microphone. If someone has reason to believe that's not the case, they should report it to Apple Security.

The tricky bit is when users give microphone access to the app (i.e. for video recording functionality), but want to verify it's only being used then.

That's certainly what we're aiming for!

Both my cofounder and I were enthusiastic users of Visual Basic, Delphi and similar environments. Those platforms fell by the wayside in the move to the web, and we lost the ability to build applications simply, quickly, and without having to learn five different frameworks on the way. We eventually got tired of waiting for someone to build a better application development environment for the web, and built it ourselves.
