> A few months back Microsoft launched windows 10 on ARM -- that's an inflection point.

Microsoft has launched Windows for various non-x86 platforms over the years, including ARM, and it has always petered out. Maybe it will take off this time, but I wouldn't bet too much on it.
FTA: "These problems have proliferated because of the concentration of power in the hands of a few platforms – including Facebook, Google, and Twitter – which “control which ideas and opinions are seen and shared”."

They are indeed very active in removing ideas and opinions which are deemed unsavory. A recent example in from our neighbour country, Sweden.

"Google is facing criticism in Sweden for its failure to prevent anti-Semitic material from topping searches featuring the term “Jews in Sweden.”" https://www.timesofisrael.com/swedish-jews-complain-google-s...

"Journalist Willy Silberstein, editor-in-chief Helle Klein and former TV4 CEO Jan Scherman are some Swedish Jews who are on an anti-Semitic list online. Their legal representative has reported the list to Google for more than a month that it should not appear in search results by their name. Only now – after Expressen and DN's audits – Google starts backing and promises to remove 24 people from the list from their search results." https://tech2.org/sweden/google-starts-backing-after-critici...

I think the above serves well to illustrate the issue of weaponizing the web. The nazis are using the web as a weapon to list celebrity jews. The jews on the list are using the web as a weapon to wield power over Google's decisions and actions. Google is the weapon used by all the groups involved.

A conspiracy is an agreement between two or more persons to engage jointly in an unlawful or criminal act, or an act that is innocent in itself but becomes unlawful when done by the combination of actors. In this case the unlawful act is to knowingly participate in a scheme to violate various drug laws regarding the importation and distribution of controlled substances. In addition to the evidence of mens rea given there are several overt acts (e.g. agreeing to remote wipe a phone that was, at the time of this act, known to be held as evidence in a criminal case) that fulfill the requirements to indict for a conspiracy charge. As for entrapment, such a condition does not apply just by the act of a government agent providing someone with the opportunity to commit a crime but by when they use threats, harassment, or fraud to convince someone to do an act that the defendant can show they would not normally perform. Asking the defendant to wipe the phone was not entrapment, but suggesting that your drug cartel buddies might break his legs if he did not wipe the phone would be entrapment.

If you need links of supporting evidence I suggest you and parent poster try using Google. Easy to understand explanations will be available for you on the first page of hits.
Yes, in general we do.
For data science, python is the strongest language right now due to massive library support for anything you want to do. Its also the easiest to understand and find developers for (from your list of languages).

Go is also nice and will bring you support for types and high er runtime performance (but slower development speed and maintenance speed).

Haskell will be hard to find developers for, but the ones you find will be very good. But getting a team of 20 to use haskell will be a great challenge, and also the library support for data science is tiny.
And even Google feels a little shaky these days, not really knowing what the next big thing could be for them after search+ads. Their mobile and their cloud business are both small compared (if the data didn't change over the last 1-2 years, haven't looked it up for some time).
One of the best points of evidence is the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, that was always used for your line of advice and recently turned around.

how useful is hydrogen from such wells? is the quantity sufficient to warrant just drilling for it or simply burning it to power the drilling?
Out of sight, out of mind. That's pretty much the reason.
I don't know the numbers, but if there's not a lot of users/companies using these alternative protocols, it makes sense not to support them. I'd do the same thing.

The Facebook/Twitter analogy is flawed, because those are ad-supported businesses, so the company has a strong financial interest in having users on its own/primary platform, where it can deliver ads. I think that's not the case with Slack (?). But even there, I think the incentive to not support N protocols is not to get the +0.1% revenue from IRC/XMPP users, it's velocity/simplicity in product development, which is worth more money in the long term.

Disclaimer: I worked for FB previously, on Workplace, which is a direct competitor to Slack.

Good riddance to them

But, but, but ... what about spitballs?

When I was a kid 50 years ago we used those $0.19 Bic pens. (We also used ink pens, but that's another discussion).

The Bic pens unscrewed very easily. Leaving you with a nice clear tube. You tore up pieces of paper into tiny wads and covered them with spit. You used the Bic tube to shoot them at your classmates.

Don't kids still do that? Without spitballs how will bored preteen boys pass their days while being stuck in boring classes?

I suppose that nowadays Ritalin and Adderal are the preferred answers. But the better answer is to have more engaging teachers. I switched schools in 7th grade and the classes were much less boring. No more spitballs. Better teachers or perhaps more mature kids?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_diet:

The Mediterranean diet is a diet inspired by the eating habits of Greece, Southern Italy, and Spain in the 1940s and 1950s. The principal aspects of this diet include proportionally high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, and vegetables, moderate to high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products.
How are those big projects? Why would you need any scalability for that?

From what you just said they're running for, at most, a few thousand people.

In terms of loads/numbers/etc. that's child's play and definitely not "huge applications". The kind of decisions he's talking about are for things with thousands of concurrent users per second, not per day.

That kind of stuff could be dealt with a single desktop computer running PHP and mysql. And you definitely don't need microservices.

In my experience, having worked in both enterprise and consumer startups, enterprise is shallow but broad with little need for any of the complicated stuff and more need to make the code really simple, obvious and uncomplex because it ends up dealing with so many different problems, while consumer scale is where you start needing to get a bit fancy purely because of scale, but it only deals with a couple of problems.
Anybody using matrix protocol? And riot.im client? Thoughts?
TBMs are way more expensive up-front but allow little to no disturbance of the surroundings, and can produce smooth walls & line it as they go.

TBMs can also bore in soil or sand.

Aside from disturbance and raw feasibility (not sure you can D&B underseas) the main split point is going to be the length of the tunnel. TBMs mean large up-front fixed cost but have a lower price per distance and higher time efficiency, so D&B is more suitable for shorter tunnels (how short will also depend on the diameter you need).

That aside, TBMs are awesome, I got to visit one as a kid (the operator gave tours of the TBM during the few weeks of work prep' before digging actually started in earnest) and it was a great experience, they're impressive bits of machinery & technology.

> Slack's business model is to record everything said in a workspace and then to sell you access to their record of your conversations.

Whilst this is partially true, One of the key features enterprises need and that Slack supplies is the ability to fully export messages for transfer and compliance purposes.

One of the main differentiators between paid and unpaid slack is message retention. To my knowledge, I don't think the XMPP and IRC were used by anyone to overcome this limit but I'm pretty sure it's been done using their API.

They haven't shut of usage of their API for this purpose so I'm pretty sure that lost sales is the motivation behind this change.

The OP talks about the relevant ways Slack can implement features into their XMPP and IRC endpoints to allow new features. But this probably generates a lot of technical debt for a feature that isn't used by many people. (Also, anecdotally, I've found very few XMPP clients that actually support any of the proposed extensions).

I think it's even worse than "supporting" it, it was breaking their UX if certain users didn't have certain features (namely threads).

Disclaimer: I hate threads in slack
Imagine my relief.
To be fair, even a while back it became pretty easy to use fbdev (memory mapped), and Cairo to draw on it.

For event handling eventfd (and now libinput) also became quite a bit easier to use as well so many many years ago I decided to cut out the middleman (direcfb) and do it with these instead.
The author I think is confused about the meaning of Slack's "emoji reactions". They are "badges" that can be applied to messages by any one who is in the channel the message was sent. Discord also has this feature.

At any rate, that doesn't change the fact that it probably could have been implemented in XMPP.

As one of /those/ people still using IRC, I would personally have been totally fine continuing to use the IRC gateway without these features.
Ditch your Status Page: How we monitor Crisp at scale
It's complicated and I'm not an expert, but I understand the main risk with TBMs is running into a type of rock it can't handle and suddenly having a multi-million dollar paperweight wedged in a very awkward location. They're also not well suited to really hard rock, which requires frequent cutter replacements.

In this case, the tunnel is very long and deep, magnifying the unknown territory risk. Also, the bedrock in most of Scandinavia (and, I presume, Stockholm) is both very shallow and mostly granite, which is extremely hard and thus not a good fit for a TBM.

Source: My childhood in Helsinki was punctuated by the periodic sound of blasting rock as they cut out what was supposed to be the new central station. Overall, Helsinki is basically granite Swiss cheese due to parking garages, pedestrian tunnels, basements, bomb shelters, military tunnels, the metro etc and AFAIK all of it has been drilled and blasted, not TBM'd.
> One of the sad things that has come out of Slack's meteoric rise to success, has been how many free and open source projects have jumped over to using it (after previously using IRC or XMPP). In so doing, they have closed off their discussions from search engines and they prevent people from accessing their past archives.

Additionally the traditional mailing lists are full of "please can I have an invite to the Slack workspace" spam

A proper side phone could be programmed to handle this process correctly. In an option accessible from a menu it could drop the network, prompt to switch out a SIM (or use one in a different slot), wait a suitable amount of time, and then reconnect to the network.

I see no reason to reboot the phone. SIMs can be hot-swapped.
All I know is that my extra fine Pilot custom 823 beats all my other pens for flow and capacity.
I agree in some sense. My issue is pulling the trigger to fast and too hard, and there doesn't seem to be a good answer to that.

Even though I do my best to follow licenses, I may be making a mistake somewhere. If I heard a case where was sued for $1M to a GPLv2 software, I'd strongly consider moving over to a propriety product and pay $10 a month to mitigate my risk.

Remember that every uninstall is one less user, which is one less incentive to maintain the product, and once that gets close to zero, it's game over.

> Disclaimer: I hate threads in slack

When you already have too many channels, and then they give you the ability to have too many threads.

I feel like they do a worse job at the supposed value add of being able to archive and later refer to a topic of conversation than channels simply because they are so light weight and proliferate so many of them, potentially.

Plus it's really jarring to be pulled into a bunch of threads.

As someone that has loosely tried to learn Mathematics over the past decade, I second this.

Self-learning mathematics is really difficult, especially when you don't really know where you stand any more in terms of pre-requisite education.

It's easy to say you're going to dedicate x of hours of time to study Mathematics, but it's easy to drop off, ditch it in favour of the next thing to learn, and essentially forget what you tried to learn. Taking a class will at least physically allocate that time to maths.

>The samurai class existed in one form or another for around a millennium. I rather doubt that they all considered it a "disgrace" to draw their sword.

That's fair. I was just trying to imply that the samurai (and Western cowboy, and European knight, and even modern yakuza and mafia) all present a romantic facade in popular culture that wasn't and isn't necessarily reflected in practical reality.

Apparently even the concept of Bushido is a cultural retcon[0,1] as is, almost everything related to ninja[2,3]. Some young Japanese hoodlums might buy into the hype, but I don't necessarily trust that anecdata as a basis to make some general statement about Japanese culture mistrusting guns because they're less honorable.

The mechanisms of cholesterol -> heart disease are not well understood. Cholesterol is a natural component of the blood - if it's too low or high it implies you are ill. The levels being off correlate with heart disease but I don't think there's a simple high cholesterol directly causes deposits causation.
The point is that with XMPP at least, they could add those features. They presented their case as if it couldn't be done with XMPP, which is not true.

I am a sleep deprived person, and I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly. I am experimenting with sleep reduction for a longstanding and difficult affective issue--it works!

It also makes me feel dumb; and judging by things I've written recently, I am trading misery for intelligence, at least in certain areas. Misery, it's worth pointing out, can lower an individual's cognitive abilities.

Side note: I agree about food and exercise. I knew, from past experience, that I need to pay careful attention to what I eat and how I exert myself.

I just couldn't seem to get going. I have no rational explanation, but there you have it.

So far, the sleep-restriction experiment, consisting of one night per week without sleep, is showing favorable results. I know I'm coming off as a dullard more than I usually do, but I'm not clawing my face off worrying about it. Oh, and it seemed to lift whatever was preventing me from improving my diet and activity levels. I wish I had a better solution, or that I had some innate drive to just do the things I strongly believe beneficial simply because doing beneficial things is rational.
Yeah, I think this article is needlessly paranoid. I've seen no evidence that their protocol connectors pose any threat to their main business. Like you, I believe that the real problem is development velocity.

As much as I'd like to live in a world where open protocols and federated services evolve as quickly and turn out as well as proprietary solutions, that's apparently not the world I'm living in. Email, as much as I love it, is basically stagnant. IRC existed long before Slack, and if it had been truly successful, Slack would never have existed because there would not have been a market niche. And having recently written a bunch of XMPP code to talk to my vacuum [1], I was entirely underwhelmed. Whereas Slack is a product I use daily because it just works, and works well.

I wonder how long until governments start "google search result page 1" wars against each other (though I think China would have a running start in this one). Country X demands google can't show results about Country Y anywhere and Country Y demands google push results to page 1 that make Country X look bad.
It's not even that discussions have been lost from search engines, actual slack users are loosing massive amounts of history. If you a free/OSS project then you likely have little budget so you're stuck using hte free tier of Slack, which means users can only see the last 10,000 messages. We're loosing vast swathes of our history/discussion/media.

If I've understood correctly, what you're saying is that there's really too much noise is the results which can neither be explained by shared environment, or genetics?

> Established wisdom

> eat mostly (or entirely) plants

So, Veganism is "established wisdom". More like unproven dogma...

A paleo diet is far more supportive of overall health. What that looks like for the individual is really down to them discovering what their body prefers, in terms of nutrients, carbs, fats and protein.

A paleo diet can be mostly veges, mostly meat, and anywhere in between.

It strikes me such companies never intended to comply with their legal obligations - make that position financially untenable and use the money to support development/developers who are compliant.
