Using collusion without knowing what it means... Businesses make business deals all the time. If I had a company that made an inferior product and wasn't able or willing to invest time and resources to improve it, you know sure as hell I'd look to sell that product IP off before my competitors take all of my marketshare anyway and my company gets nothing for years of pre-existing work.

That's a sensible business move that lets them allocate resources to their strengths. To believe it's some kind of secret or illegal deal is pretty naïve. It's obviously not a mistake either - Hipchat is technologically behind other products on the market, and Atlassian has other core products that are doing really well (JIRA, for example).
> Persistence can be created the the right proxy/helper and clients

As others already pointed out, that requires technical skill and fiddly configuration.

It also doesn't help with the specific scenario of jumping into a channel you've never been in before, and being able to get all the history of that channel.

I frequently have to jump into the channel for another team, provide some input around whatever the current issue is, and then I generally leave. I don't care to see/read about whatever that team normally does. With Slack, that's dead easy - join channel, I can scroll up and see the rest of that conversation, then talk a bit, and get out.

There's also a ton of other features, like threading, editing message in-place, and persistent file attachments that either arn't supported, or require some kind of custom implementation - or depend upon IRCv3.

We also make heavy use of various integrations - our customer support team gets pinged in-channel when certain events happen in their support platform, which has Slack support built in.

Our deployment tools notify teams that need to be aware of new releases and links to resolved issues/new features.

So, yes, we could cobble together something that does all of these things - but this is a major undertaking.

No, it, based on the except you point to, applies specifically and only to “the Village”, not to new complexes generally (and the Village is not a pure office complex, by a mixed use one, and this rule seems specifically designed to make the Village attractive to restaurants.)

Because they have a years-long(11 for Politifact, 19 for Snopes) history of being right. They're consistently, reliably right. So yeah, I trust them. I trusted them under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. I trust them now.

Maybe you are the one who needs to re-evaluate priors: maybe, just maybe, the "universal anti-Trump media" environment is driven by some kind of objective (heh) truth about the Trump administration's relationship with (heh, heh) the truth, and not by mere opinion. Maybe.

Bush wrecked a ton of stuff. His administration spun like crazy. They didn't like like Trump lies. No one ever has lied like Trump lies. That's not "opinion", it just is.

Ask HN: Best practices for error handling?
Is there a definitive resource for solid error and exception handling? Everywhere I read, error handling is the primary reasons systems fail, yet every language is doing error handling differently. I would be interested in hearing peoples' opinions and links to resources that discuss the pros and cons of different types of error and exception handling.

What do you not like about the protocol? Like everything, it has its warts, but having worked on a few more-or-less proprietary protocols XMPP is much better designed and thought out than most of them. The community has had a lot of time to address some of its flaws whereas Slack, Stride, et al. tend to reinvent the same problems XMPP solved 20 years ago.

There is no truth to your assertion that companies will be leaving Bay. Google, Facebook, Salesforce etc. are actually massively expanding their Bay Area footprint.

Google is expanding their Mountain View and building a massive new headquarters

Google is also expanding into San Jose

Apple just recently completed their spaceship campus

Facebook is massively expanding their Menlo Park footprint

In addition, they signed the largest lease ever in SF

Salesforce recently opened their new 60 story tower in downtown SF

Javascript interfaces usually have much better usability than Flash ones used to have.

That is because following the standard semantics of the Web in Javascript is easier than breaking it, while for Flash it was the other way around. Of course that does not mean that every JS powered page is good, or that every Flash powered one was bad, and ironically it does mean that the more JS, the worse it tends to be, but the more Flash, the better it used to be.

Compared to the Trump administration?
Are you serious? California used to be an insane gun ridden free for all cowboy state. You could legally kidnap/shanghai someone up until 1915.
Agreed that the situation sucks. I loved the free food in the Googleplex.

As for other solutions - personally I'd love to see some form of vouchers + electronic ordering system where employees at local businesses could go online, select from the menu, have their employer pick up the tab (perhaps with some quota or auditing so you aren't always eating gourmet on the employers dime), and your phone beeps when your food will be ready in 5 minutes and you can go walk in, flash your employee badge, and pick it up. That gets a lot of the in-house benefits of higher efficiency and less hassle for workers, but also directs money to local restaurants and gives additional consumer choices for workers. It'd likely cost more for the company (who is paying retail prices rather than contracting with a catering company), but that's because the restaurants have more negotiating leverage when they're also open to the public and aren't held hostage by a single customer, which if you're in favor of consumer choice is exactly how it should work.

90% of this system already exists, too, between company credit cards, Concur or other expense-reporting software, online ordering for DoorDash/Yelp/etc, mixed-use developments, decent restaurants, food-is-done buzzers at sit-down restaurants, etc. It's just there's no integrated portal where you can eg. swipe your badge when you order instead of having to pull out your company credit card or get notifications when it's time to walk over.
For sure. I think there are way more startups who try to raise capital that shouldn't than the other way around though. It's definitely worth questioning whether it's necessary.
> ...until I hit 8 gb of ram (the amount installed on my machine).

I'm assuming you mean 8GB of ram 'used', by some metric of 'used'. What tends to confuse the hell out of people is what 'used' means. It varies by how it's measured, what OS you are using and how that OS is configured. I haven't a clue how Fedora 27 is configured nor how you are determining 'used' RAM, so my comment may well not apply to your use case.
I've been using spacemacs for a bit now, mainly because of org-mode. Most of the keybindings from Vim transfer to spacemacs, so it hasn't been very hard to learn, so for you I think it would be a nice middle ground, if you don't want to immediately go full Emacs.
Slight aside: I think one of the big problems in the IRC and XMPP communities is that we discuss them as if the protocol itself or the public federated network (in the case of Jabber) were a "messaging product", but it's really not. Someone could (and should) build a messaging product with XMPP or IRC. HipChat started out that way a bit, but then tacked on more and more proprietary bits, or abused the XMPP protocol in its own clients enough that it could hardly be called XMPP anymore, which was a real shame.

The problem is dine in food (catering etc) is 50% tax deductible, dine out food is 0% deductible but having your own in-house restaurant is 100% deductible. None of these articles mention this issue, plus any meal subsidies would not only not go as far for the employer but the employee would be taxed on them.

I’ve been provided meals at work for the last 12 years and I will certainly factor that in to any salary calculus in the future. Given this only impacts new buildings, this puts future employers/business at a disadvantage.
I have a similar distrust of Telegram just because of where they started. (and I admit that isn't logical) But I think I trust someone with lots of data AND lots of money than someone who only has lots of data.

I'm guessing it's highly likely that one of the reasons for the acquisition is to make Hipchat the on-prem version of Slack, or at least create a path to that goal. Why does everyone here assume they will shutter the product? Slack has been promising self-hosted chat for years.
If you want to guarantee positive coverage, pay for it. Otherwise, stay away. If you go into an interview with such a defensive attitude, it's likely not going to end well for you.

How does working at a cafeteria provider like Bon Appetit compare to working at a restaurant? By that I mean a place where office workers are likely to get lunch daily, where the typical lunch costs <$10.

Also consider that workplace cafeteria jobs generally have fixed schedules with weekends off.
That's true. Or just dealing with the time-lag.

I do much better with the random walk.
When is the Slack-hating hype going to stop? It's a tool that lots of businesses find useful. Its a company that makes a good product that they sell for money to people who find it useful. This is exactly the kind of success story we badly need a lot more of in our industry. And yet the top comment on every Slack-related story is some variant of "why not just use email or IRC?" It's a bummer.
Spotted on Twitter: "Imagine winning a market so dramatically that your competitor shuts down their competing services, hands you their IP, and gives you money for the trouble."
You'd be surprised, marketing departments generally do not have a clue about that specific type of thing. Hell eBay's operations apparently doesn't from my experience. It's incredibly easy to game marketing, and internet marketing is mindlessly easy without the invasive stalking.
Some things change, some not so much
Because preparing lunch at home and bringing it to work is kind of a nuisance? I eat lunch out almost every day and I don't make anything close to Silicon Valley income. Because I don't want to bother with preparing a lunch at home and taking it to work. And I like to get out of the office for an hour. Doesn't really matter why the employee code to accept it, the point is the employee is accepting something of value, and that value is determined based on prevailing market prices for similar things.
I really enjoy this sort of sarcasm :D

Compiling to Wasm will only get easier. It's only hard now because the target is new and people are still adapting the tooling. There is no reason why it would be any harder than compiling for a machine.

Wasm will almost certainly lead to UI frameworks for the Web. JS people try very hard to get similar stuff, but the language is just not good enough; at the same time the desktop people that have this stuff is claiming for some way to use the same on the Web. People are already working on those frameworks, by the way.

(I lead the Zulip project, one of the main open source alternatives to Slack.)

The writing's been on the wall for HipChat for a long time; e.g. the user experience has been stagnant for many years (e.g. they never added emoji reactions). And even back in 2013, every HipChat customer I've encountered was unhappy or at best unenthusiastic about the product. So we've seen plenty of folks migrate from HipChat to Zulip.

I expect most enterprises will end up on one of the open source Slack alternatives (Zulip, Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, etc.). Frankly, they should have been using one of them anyway. If you care about a really high level of security, you want to be using well-maintained open source software. The well-maintained part is obvious, but the open source piece is really important too: It's a lot easier for white-hat hackers to find and report security bugs in software with access to the source code, and so there will be fewer that haven't been found and fixed yet.

You certainly don't want to be using a PHP app that's had over 700 confirmed security bugs found by external people (https://hackerone.com/slack) -- you can be pretty sure there are more being introduced every week.

I'll add that I expect to see more proprietary on-premise products that are the stepchild of a SaaS product disappearing over the coming years. It's a lot harder to ship software for the on-premise use case, especially if you have engineering culture used to just shipping for a single installation in the cloud (which almost everyone who works on proprietary software is). If you have the right processes and toolchain, it doesn't have to slow you down (and I don't feel it does for Zulip, with our amazing developer tooling and 98% backend test coverage), but very few organizations succeed at this. I've certainly heard some incredible horror stories from famous Silicon Valley companies about teams of engineers spending months on making a fork of a SaaS product shippable for each on-premise release.

> > She might have been impeached at this point

> Why?

Well, Republicans, including some in prominent roles, in the House just started trying to impeach the Trump-appointed, Republican Deputy Attorney General for not compromising a series of criminal investigations, so with a small shift in votes giving the same Congress but a Democratic President, just about anything.

But conviction in the Senate would be less likely, because that takes more than a bare majority.
> Anyways, this is not communist 'community involvement' level yet, but the government should have no say on a person's personal private time.

Zoning itself is quite a loud say from the government about what someone may do in their personal private time in their personal private property. For example, you can't run a bakery in your personal private time in an area zoned only for residential use.

Do you think zoning should not be legal?

I bought an iPhone X 100% based on the Qualcomm modem. I have the Apple store CDMA qualcomm version even tho I'm on T-mobile which had the intel version available sooner and cheaper. T-mobile service in San Francisco is absolutely terrible. Doesn't work deep inside most buildings. In the past I went through a bunch of iPhone 7's on T-mobile due to loss/theft/damage. Also compared many side by side. Some with qualcomm, some with intel, always on T-mo. Signal was a little better with qualcomm, battery life was SIGNIFICANTLY better with qualcomm. I'd guess 20-25% which is the difference between the phone dying by the end of the day or not.
Slack isn't perfect; I agree with that. I haven't experienced the CPU issue, but it does seem to like RAM quite a bit. I just opened it w/ one account active, and it was eating maybe 400MB of RAM. I bumped that up to 6 open accounts, and now it's chewing up maybe 2GB of RAM.
