I've had pretty bad experiences with Stripe in the past, which is why I switched to Braintree. Stripe has abysmal support for square use-cases that don't fit their circular criteria.

Nevertheless, this is one development that makes me interested in Stripe again. I'm looking forward to using this at some point in the future when they open this up out of friends-frist mode.

I've got a Windows phone, and sometimes I feel like the gradual decay of its ecosystem is a blessing in disguise. Since app support is spotty, I'm relegated to sticking to the core features only (Edge, maps, music player, texting, camera, Office), which are good enough for most of my needs. (At least for however long until Edge falls behind the other browsers, or maps/traffic gets shuttered, or...) It's already distracting enough with a browser.. it'd be worse with more game support.. :)

My research group at Stanford uses Zulip for instant messaging. I like it A LOT more than Slack. I'll list a few of the features I think most contribute to why Zulip > Slack (IMHO). Also, I'm not affiliated with the maintainers of Zulip at all. I am just a big fan of their software :).

- Zulip has something called a "topic" which is basically a Slack thread but with a name/subject-line. Unlike Slack threads though, every message you send has to be sent in a topic. Zulip makes it much easy to context switch between these topics too. Ever have a situation in Slack where two people are discussing something in a channel instead of using a thread or DM? That isn't possible in Zulip.

- The Zulip UI offers a lots of nice features compared to Slack too. For one, you can see the number of unread messages in each topic directly from the main page. Zulip also supports multi-line messages so you don't have to send a bunch of message one right after the other to break up text, you can add line breaks directly to your message.

- Zulip has a "message drafts" features which is nice when you want to draft a message (or multiple messages), but will send it later. Zulip will hang onto your drafts until you need it.

- Zulip has full markdown support. You can format links, images, and tables (which are all especially nice when using bots) using standard markdown syntax.

- Zulip has full color syntax highlighting when embedding code-snippets into messages! It has support for basically every programming language I can think of (including brain-fuck!).

- Zulip has support for latex equations in messages.

- Zulip is open-source! You can use the version of Zulip hosted at zulipchat.com or you can deploy your own Zulip server by grabbing the source code from github (https://github.com/zulip/zulip).

- In the time since I have switched from Slack to Zulip (about 1 years ago now), Slack has gone down 3-4 times and has had other connectivity issues; Zulip had maybe 1-2 minor interruptions that I can think of in that time.
It's hard to have an unusual name anywhere really. Whether it's from unusual characters, or a name that doesn't fit cultural expectations.

I wrote Alphanym to help encourage an interface pattern which preserves the natural diversity found in people's names, and to hopefully help mitigate technical issues like these.

> I'm not too interested in a "chat vs email" sort of discussion, just "If you've decided you want chat, which products are worth looking into?"

There are a lot of hybrid products though that either integrate chat into email, or make products that feel like email but are really chat. Zulip looks like it has some overlap with the latter category.

Redkix, which just got bought by Facebook today and shut down, is also in that category. That's actually a more interesting story than the Slack acquisition imho.
Amazon Q2 Earnings Report – $2.5B Profit
There are new feature phones available in the market, with the benefits of modern technology such as better display, keyboard, battery.. Its probably not advertised much, but it is still there, and very much available.
Some additional observations on Mattermost (currently on 4.0.0.43 of the OS X desktop client)

1. The contact list interface lacks in a couple obvious ways. At the top there is an "Unreads" list, except there is a different unread list depending on which Team you're in. Except maybe it's not different, because unread Direct Messages will always appear in Unread, but unread Channels will only appear in their Team. There's also no option to sort anything contact-related: you have to have your Channels at the top (Public, Private), then your Direct Messages, subsorted alphabetically. (In particular, you can't sort by "most recent", so if you're chatting with 5 people during the day and you have 40 people in your DM list up, good luck finding them after they're marked as read.)

2. There is a keyboard shortcut for "Switch Channels" (Command-K), which you can use to send a DM to someone—but you can't use it to send a DM to two people at once (ie. typing Command-K+"alice" sends a DM to Alice, but typing Command-K+ "alice, bob" does nothing).

3. It's incredible that the native client will mark you as "Away" when you're working on your computer if the Mattermost app is not in focus.

4. I guess this is hard to get around given that there are slash-commands, but if I had a dime for every time I tried to paste a path and Mattermost said "Command with a trigger of '/home/shivatron/foo' not found...", I'd be a rich man.

5. Speaking of paste, I'm glad the message character limit got increased from 4000 to ~16k in 5.0. Does it offer to automagically truncate like Slack, or do I still have to delete some characters and try again in a loop until the message sends?
What word would you use for people who are incapable of communicating through the written word? Or for an Internet that is increasingly designed to cater to such people?

The dialup-era Internet was mostly text and a little bit of pictures. There was good text, bad text, and lots and lots of fanfiction, but at least it was text. Even if you went to The Onion, there might be one goofy photoshopped photo but you had to read an actual article with real paragraphs to get the jokes. Now everything is a video, or a picture, or a meme, and everything longer than 140 characters is “tl;dr”. That’s a cultural decline akin to when television displaced reading in the mid-20th century.

I can communicate in either style, so it’s not a personal thing from my perspective—except, since I can communicate in either style, I can also tell which style is more conducive to deep and meaningful discussion.

Yeah, it only works for people who only really need their phones for the phone calls. It doesn't make sense to get three devices (basic phone, mp3 player, fit bit [or something else]) to replace the one that served those purposes before.

I'm mystified by the number of people who think that they've solved the fundamental problem by getting rid of their phone:

At work we started doing private project-specific channels for whatever initiative we're working on that's cross functional. As soon as that project is complete, we archive the channel and move on the next thing. It's worked out really well surprisingly. Our public channels rarely get activity now because their subject matter is so vague but the private channels are incredibly active and productive.

Hey, blog author here! The startup delay is the extra initialization time that React Native needs. Translating into our discord iOS app, it is the duration of the screen with spinning mascot and quote rather than the entire duration fully connect to our gateway socket.  In our test case, its about 4s delay on iPhone SE.

Meanwhile, we keep working towards to improving our user experience on all the devices especially the lower-end ones (I personally use iPhone 6 as my go-to test device). For instance, we will add caching very soon to shorten the interaction waiting. Hopefully you will enjoy more using Discord on your SE then :)

If you need it for the GPS, then that's just how it is -- there's no point in stressing out to find a basic phone that has GPS. Now that I just have a basic phone, I print directions before I leave. That doesn't work for everyone though.
I feel like I've seen a number of these kind of posts pop up recently. It reminds me of 10 to 15 years ago when there was article after article about people getting rid of their TVs, and how liberated they felt. Both topics always feel like a mix of genuine feeling mixed with a bit of validation seeking. I don't know, I guess I've never found either argument particularly compelling.
I have never expected that the other party is sitting and staring at the screen in any Slack or chat I’ve used. An @mention will change the expectation of interrupting or not, but as someone who has used various chat programs for 24 years of my life, this ha never been an expectation I’ve had, nor one I’ve seen too frequently expressed.

What do you think has caused that expectation in your mind? Do you wish that for the people you’re chatting with? Have you worked with people who do expect that? Honestly curious.

I wonder how my growing up with it, and in chat rooms with mostly tech-savvy folks, has affected my use and expectations of it, too.
I never had a chance to get into newsgroups that much, but I believe you.
What about audiobooks, discord/slack for team communication, or sometimes reading on public transport. You can easily block/mute notifications and all that. Don't use apps like Instagram (never used but some of my friends do) or other addictive apps and you'll be fine. To be honest smartphones are you the best way to push some (25 minutes) to practice skills when you have time window (apps like brilliant, Reedy)

Phone game apps are the most addictive but if you never download them you won't get into it. Games have 4 caracteristics that makes them addictive: winnable, it has goals, novel challenge that keep you in state of flow, feedback. These things could also be used in reading books and that becomes addictive in a good way.

Tl;Dr phone apps are the best thing to aquaire skills in the future. If you block or hide notification and not download addictive apps you will be fine.
What the heck? 90% of the article is just ranting about a Gnome feature; I still have no idea about why Pop_OS is the “state of the art” because the author literally did not provide any commentary on what makes it unique except for a brief mention of it curating various things.

This is bad writing.

Companies are generally at more risk from failure to produce message content in a lawsuit, regulatory action, HR investigation, etc. than from eavesdropping. "Secure" in a corporate setting means subject to IT's surveillance, filtering, and archiving. If anything, security's job is to make sure employees aren't using things like PGP, personal webmail, Facebook, etc. to evade corporate retention policies.

Maybe mysterious quasi-state actors will steal your secrets and outcompete you decades from now, but they could probably do that anyway. The SEC will certainly fuck you up right now if you can't demonstrate adequate controls on regulated employees' communications.

The idea that Linux needs consistency is correct,albeit difficult to achieve. I doubt pop os will make 2018 the year of the linux desktop. Making every app conform to the gnome guidelines on an underdog desktop platform where many interesting software is just crossplatform (java apps, electron apps, browsers) and do not have an interest in a specific toolkit.. is quite a dream.

We've used Mattermost for a small amount of time and then migrated to Zulip (company of about 50 people). Zulip's threading model is what sets it apart. It might take sometime to get used to but once you do you don't want to use anything else. Mattermost is primarily a Slack clone while Zulip is its own category. I think Slack style chat works best if everyone is working on the same thing; like a 5 man startup. However with more people working on all kinds of different things Zulip's model works better.

I agree. I feel the same way when people talk about quitting Facebook. No one really needs to know.

FWIW, I got a basic phone because I was tired of having to charge my smart phone every day. It's nice having a phone that will hold its charge for several days.
employers will do anything to look good. words are cheap when they are not required to be truthful. in retrospect i consider it a positive that my current employer told me when i interviewed that they dont pay market rates.

most people who perform services for me are already studying to get out eventually. no need for me to give such unsollicited advice.

as for the research thing i would say you are right, but that is really a local law matter.
>1) its too godamn slow. I have 32 cores, 64 gigs of ram and a massive graphics card, yet draging windows about has lag, pressing the meta key has lag. Its just not fast like mate or lxde.

I am going to say this is probably only partly GNOME 3's fault. I have only lukewarm feelings about GNOME 3 but was blown away when I ran a distro on a very old Intel NUC only to see GNOME 3 running buttery smooth.

My guess for why is due to the high quality of the open source Intel graphics accelerator drivers on Linux. NVIDIA and AMD do not offer this at all, and at best performance can be tricky depending on what extensions and features your driver supports (and how well your card is supported if using open source drivers.)

Basically, I don't think GNOME 3 is bloated or slow. I think it uses relatively reasonable CPU, but compositing in Linux is complicated due to second-class graphics driver support, and that causes a lot of the lagginess/glitchiness/general wonkiness that you get with the desktop experience. (edit: An example is that I've had issues with resizing Windows that I have found to be NVIDIA-specific.)

(Of course, you can get around this by not using compositing at all, but I think the case for compositing is more than solid at this juncture.)
Do you remember how you checked this? I wonder if there's a BIN lookup somewhere.
Replying to a [dead] comment...

The space program was obvs a war effort. But I view war as one of capitalism's ways of managing the problem of overproduction. When we can substitute other outlets (eg space instead of war) for that part of the business cycle we should jump at the chance.
I think the point is that they took the time to ensure they're not at the mercy of Facebook.

Regardless, you're really at the mercy of _any_ maintainer of components you depend upon heavily. It's a fact of life unless you feel like building it all from scratch.
Zulip is closer to being "real-time email" than Slack is, but I wouldn't call it real-time email.

The Worst Mistake You Can Make When Dealing with Your Emotions
I feel like if I could have one device that lets me take really nice pictures (like portrait mode on iphone) and only do texting and phone calls and maps, I would be a pretty happy person. Maybe airline apps for boarding passes and stuff. I can survive without email/slack/all the other bullshit.

Life goes on, if it's an emergency I'm sure someone will get a hold of me somehow. But I want to take pictures of my wife and dogs, I want to text her and my friends, and I don't want to get lost. Music streaming is nice too. That's about it.

I guess I am just bitching about social media to be honest...
