How to create your own personal static site generator
Especially if you are signed into multiple workspaces. The performance degradation increases by a factor of two for each workspace I am signed into.

That said, there are ways to create performant electron apps (vscode as an example), just seems like slack isn't able to do that for some reason.
Not entirely. There's the Voting Rights Act, for one thing.

And if hackers can change my vote, that arguably is the same as denying me the right to vote. That could fall within the scope of the Voting Rights Act, and therefore be a Federal matter.

Mattermost[1], with a clear migration path from Slack, at least.

I've been using products that facilitated this for the past 10 years and one has yet to stick.

Paypal had a firefox extension that did this about 10 years ago.

https://getfinal.com/ was fantastic and I used it for about 2 years. I was one of the first 700 applicants. It worked exactly as you described and you could even set dollar limits for monthly recurring charges. They folded earlier this year and I was sad to see my CC cancelled. :(

Binary wheels are a nightmare in terms of knowing what you have installed. We disabled them in our builds when we discovered a few packages had vendored old, terribly-insecure static versions of libxml2 (and who knows what else) which silently replaced using the system version (which received OS security updates). We only found out when we hit one of the behavioural quirks of that version and spent ages investigating it with gdb.

If you're using manylinux wheels you're probably using static libs you have no idea you're using. That way lies madness.

I havent used conda so maybe this doesn't apply there somehow.
It is possible to get a confidentiality agreement with Slack over and above the normal terms if you negotiate with them.
Apple allows updates to Javascript outside of the review process as long as it subscribes to certain guidelines (1), including but not limited to: not changing core feature functionality, being limited to bug fixes, and also that the app doesn't provide unlimited access to native SDK or system functions. React Native provides a limited API to js code so it's fine.

As far as your second question, we simply deploy store logic that loads a Modal telling our users that they must relaunch the app.

It's nothing major, but I built a simple web scraper for collecting screenshots from various forums and then creating a static site from it.

I've also used it to build small tools like generating project documentation or collating data from online api's.

Emacs was my gateway (via org mode) and I messed around with Emacs lisp for a while before learning Common Lisp. Developing in Emacs + SLIME is a lot of fun once I get in the rhythm.
The iOS application can safely pull data and perform actions from just about every Store (we don't use redux but the idea is the same https://redux.js.org/api-reference/store) and Action Handler (https://reactjs.org/docs/handling-events.html) that exists in the main Discord React application.

So if one is writing a feature that say allows one to ban a user - they don't need to write any of the banning logic or worry about fetching the user data/validating it against server roles permissions - if it exists on the main Discord app, it can be safely imported.

Other helpful examples are perhaps things like markdown parsing - iOS was able to just import and use the exact same system desktop uses to handle markdown and things like user/channel mentions, custom emoji, etc. On Android we had to write one ourselves: https://blog.discordapp.com/how-discord-renders-rich-message...

On Android since there is no code re-use everything had to be written from scratch.

Get you a copy of "Permaculture: A Designer's Manual" by Bill Mollison.[1] Never mind that it's technically about farming. It's the finest manual of abstract design I've ever encountered.

I promise you, it's what you're looking for.[2]

Always amuses me to see "the Establishment" cited as firmly in the Remain box. Who is Dulwich educated, commodities trader and decades-long politician Nigel Farage if he's not a part of the establishment? Or Jacob Rees bloody Mogg and Boris Johnson! Quite the anti-establishment rebels they are, eh? As for the media, the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Telegraph and the Express all pushed Leave viewpoints. Leave was always strongly supported by the establishment because they're going to make out like thieves once it happens, it was just sold as "the people's revolt" to a willing audience.

Besides, what would you have happen? All of the people who are actually knowledgable about the topic should exempt themselves from debate? It's a silly argument.

FYI, as a Microsoftie, (so I really have no horse in the teams v skype/lync debate) I find teams to be FAR better than skype. I'm on a half-remote team, and when we have to interface with groups that preferr skype, it always seems more frictional; I even was joking to my peers today that in teams we are more prompt+get through+done with meetings even faster than our in-person versions. It has rough edges that I trust engs are looking into, but I raise an eyebrow at the assertion that skype does it better, outside of integration scenarios which are rapidly improving. (And I used to use skype as the primary method of communication between my breakdancing crew a decade or so back, and used slack more recently for another job, I simply don't see Teams being as far behind as you imply.)

Similarly, I personally find the bundling->anticompetitive argument very unconvincing, especially given G-suite and other players in the cloud office space, especially in this context as atlassian's business model "rhymes" pretty heavily.

(As always disclaimer all opinions are my own, etc etc)
Having worked in the payment industry I'm not "too" impressed they did this from a technical standpoint (I've seen small startups do similar) but to make it easily available via Stripe's awesome APIs is pretty great.

I would love to see details on pricing. How much a card costs, how much a virtual number costs, how if at all issuers can monetize (i.e. do I get a cut of the transaction fees?), etc.
"Art of Electronics" Horowitz and Hill
I think pre-university math should focus on algebra and univariate calculus. Also sophisticated freshman programs focus on linear algebra and multivariate calculus and analysis. See e.g. Math 55a/b at Harvard.

You do need calculus for non-trivial statistics and even for some topics of discrete mathematics where continuous approximations are useful. For example Stirling's approximation [1] which if I recall well is on the first page of McKay's Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms.

I think that if we talk about more modern approaches for mathematics, logic, type theory and interactive theorem proving could be great. I've been toying with this idea for teaching a course, but I haven't found suitable materials.

In encountering dozens, perhaps hundreds of uses of the very well worn cliche "customer is always right" only once has the conversation or article suffered because it did not fully spell out, in legally precise language, all and every possible exception to the generality that everyone knows is but a convenient generalisation. Some customers may be committing fraud, other customers will abuse the privilege, shares may go down as well as up.

Most find that a useful shorthand in achieving concise and clear discussion, that helps to avoid overly formal and long grandiose Victorian circumlocution, without finding it vague waffle. Something I am eternally thankful for.

We could have an equally lengthy, fruitless and absurd discussion picking holes in Rackspace's "fanatical" support and Amazon's many slogans including "customer obsessed" and "most customer-centric company" because they do'nt spell out all exceptions, limitations and exclusions to the clearly generalised slogan at full length with legal precision.

> You are giving an "invitation to treat". An invitation the establishment may decline

Quite, and yet you write "What if all I have is corn? I'm a customer." You're not yet a customer and you're not offering legal tender or any other form of recognised currency. Which is why it is clearly absurd and takes the discussion away from the actual topic in TFA - the rise, and potential discrimination, of cashless.

At no point did I dispute any electronic payments are exchanging money. That again is clearly absurd. What I did say is the form may inconvenience me (even if it becomes endemic) and I dislike it becoming required. As the article points out 7.5% in the US are unbanked. 12% aren't on the net.

That's a far larger and problematic discrimination than "no hats". I won't be discriminated against, just inconvenienced. Which is why I mentioned, in another comment, I would encourage requiring businesses to accept legal tender (subject to any legislated limitations on paying large amounts in small change that many countries already limit).

Legal tender is currently cash but an equally valid solution would be a state or central bank run fee-free, privacy respecting eCurrency as it could be easily made universal, separate from the banking system, and legal tender. Who knows it might turn out cheaper to run than mints producing coins and notes. In other words something outside the duopoly of MC and Visa that doesn't require a bank or abandonment of privacy to buy a pair of jeans. Then require businesses to accept that legal tender.
Thanks again. Mind sharing your wifi card and antenna setup? :)
The UK can just block them. Any EU member can block accession. Indefinitely.
HIPAA compliance doesn't mean anything unless they're willing to sign a BAA with their customers' organizations. Perhaps they're signing BAAs now, but in the recent past (~6 months ago), I asked and they weren't signing them.
Yes, I should have been more clear.

They are immediately deprecated. It doesn't appear that Slack has any real interest in Hipchat/Stride tech (I know I don't).
Is Discord really using 2GB of RAM for you? Can you clarify what you mean by regularly? Discord (including all of its helper processes) is only using 190 MB of RAM for me at the moment.
You can accomplish most of that with Phabricator[1], except for the forecasting efforts. As for the forecasting; I worked at Amazon which had a dedicated JIRA engineer and that was the best I've ever seen JIRA being run and used. In my time there, I never saw any manager predict anything consistently accurate over the course of a long project with it without actually talking to engineering.

JIRA promises armchair management, but I've yet to see those tools actually work. That being said, you may be a better JIRA user than anyone I know. JIRA has always be promoted as a tool from the top down, never from the bottom up.

I'm not an EU or UK citizen, so I don't really know, but my initial assumption seems right:

http://www.aboutimmigration.co.uk/eu-citizens-working-uk.htm...

> Despite the vote to exit the EU, the UK will still remain a member of the EU until Article 50 negotiations have concluded. This means most citizens of countries in the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland have the right to live and work in the UK under European law. European nationals may also bring their family with them to live in the UK. However, to exercise the right to live in the UK nationals of these countries must be able to support themselves and their families without having to rely on public funds.

> European nationals with the right to live in the UK are, with certain exceptions, are still entitled to work in the UK and do not need to obtain a visa or work permit in order to do so. European nationals have the same rights as UK citizens in this respect, and employers must treat them equally. An employer who treats an EEA or Swiss worker differently purely because he is not from the UK is guilty of discrimination.

It sounds like if turkey were to enter the EU, Turkish nationals would have some kind of right to enter the United Kingdom.
Enterprise E20 pricing (with the all-important high-availability clustering feature) is unlisted. Yeah, going back to opaque pricing and needing consultants to take care of anything and everything is a real step up /sarcasm
That means first of all that they're somewhat more familiar with high school physics than "remotely familiar," and secondly that they also probably shouldn't tolerate factual inaccuracies such as "[new instruments] have now allowed astronomers to follow one of these stars, called S2, as it passed very close to the black hole during May 2018." Is that an inelegantly-placed prepositional phrase (since only the observation took place in May 2018 and not the passing), or do people in the field refer to these things in the present tense as a sort of shorthand? (I'm not one of them so I don't know.)

There are signs it's meant for a broader audience, e.g. "one of these stars, called S2" instead of simply "star S2" (since everybody's already familiar with it).

Or how about "The new measurements clearly reveal an effect called gravitational redshift. Light from the star is stretched to longer wavelengths by the very strong gravitational field of the black hole."

How often should experienced astrophysicists be subjected to the tedium of this explanation of red-shift? Once every 5 articles? I would say: Since it's a fact from their own field, they should be reminded of it less often than they get reminded of what was happening on Earth when this stellar event actually happened. Because if they're truly specialists, that means they probably know jack squat about archaeology/anthropology or anything besides astronomy/astrophysics, and might even appreciate the latter reminder.
It's also limited by the single-core performance in Android phones, which IIRC is far behind Apple's chips.

Police have a poor history in the US of exercising trigger discipline. A fair amount of this is due to overly aggressive training that is designed to keep the officers as safe as possible, sacrificing safety of anyone perceived as a threat (real or not), but another large portion is caused by the culture of dominance and entitlement that is endemic to our law enforcement.

If police engage a target with a weapon already drawn, there is a long list of things that person can do that will get them shot, and a very short (and often unclear) list of actions that will keep them safe.

If you input the term "discrete mathematics" in the search field "Books" on Amazon, you get about 15 books (not counting the advertised ones) per page and 101 pages of those. If you slightly change criteria (change the search field by subject or tweak the date or add another term to "discrete mathematics" or ...), you get even more hits (many more). This is essentially a bottomless well. Most books found in this way (many of them incredibly good) will never be found in the lists like that offered by OP for many reasons: lists like that of OP favor 'classics", every month there's a new book on the market that tries to outdo the existing ones, etc Many writers of the newer books are aware of the existence of the classics (in fact, many had to learn from them), so in their books they point out the pitfalls, fill in the holes, add more details and make your learning experience all around more pleasant.

The books in the OP's list might not work for everyone, so you have to do your own searching, sorting and analysis. This is especially true if you are a self-learner and much more so if the subject you want to learn is math because in math you are the one who has to prove every one of your assertions and be as independent as possible.

tl; dr:

don't worry about the "expert opinion". Instead collect data, clean it, analyze it and the consume the parts you need. That way you avoid 'expertise' that comes bundled with traditionalisms, bureaucracy, calcified thinking and other undesirable bullshit.

I'm the other way, I can't stand Pandora. I suppose it's probably good for finding the popular songs of the genre, but I feel it always ends up playing the same small set of songs pretty quickly regardless of what I put in. Spotify gives me much more variety and of people that would be much harder to discover myself.
Cheers to a great company. I wish I had the space to order more stuff.
To be fair though this exists in Native land too :P but it's sometimes even worse.

EG: In Android in the past there have been bugs in core components like the `RecyclerView` (thing that renders lists) that forced us to downgrade and unlike with React - there is no option there to fork the source and make our own bug fix.
Seconded, me and my team love it.
I wonder if there is a deeper structure/nature to business growth and popularity, something akin to the Matthew effect [1] ("to everyone who has more will be given") or power laws.

People have limited energy to store and rank objects, so they settle on one or two per field/subject, and all future energy goes into maintaining that categorization.

An example would be "Hulk Hogan", even though I am not interested in wrestling, I do know that name. If I am similar to others, such as journalists, this would explain why that name is getting bigger and bigger: people just add on energy on the current most popular choice.
