Let me provide an alternative perspective.

I've been on a team with someone who basically does this -- spent half the day not working, usually selected a single low-difficulty task at a time from Jira to drag out over a couple days or a week, and often went home having put 30-45 minutes less time in per day than others on the team.

There was an unspoken but very palpable dissatisfaction from everyone else on the team. No one wanted to be the Bad Guy that calls them out on it, but the manager was unwilling to push them to do more, and a result they were able to get away with slacking off while others were actually putting in effort.

It was tremendously bad for morale. That's the biggest effect it had. All the other team members were bitter about the manager's unwillingness to keep the team on a level playing field. If you let this slide, you're ultimately letting everyone else on the team down.

The point absolutely shouldn't be to police someone's time; it should be to ensure that, if they have time to slack off, they should be pushed to take on more tasks during sprint planning. "That seems like it won't take too long, can you take on these two tasks as well?" is really all it takes.
so does IRC. I believe even if it adopted IRC as a protocol, slack would still be successful, it's all about the UI being dumb-proof, friendly and capable and seemingly in-vogue. Discord, even more.
I guess it depends on who you ask, but living in Japan I got the impression they're seen as an important role in society. Every taxi I had ever taken had a middle aged man in a business suit driving. I'm not talking about "getting picked up from the airport on business" taxi drivers, I received extremely professional service any time of night from any random street. Others in this thread point out that they're sometimes crabby, but as long as you know the basics of Japanese etiquette I think you're in for a good experience. While a was cautious at first (as any person in a foreign country ought to be), I quickly stopped feeling like I needed to protect myself from scams.
That is not what I stated in the issue.

For the kind of features that you wanted in your language, not just generics, requires a form of AST (abstract syntax tree), and if you language does not have an AST, which is technically possible, then you cannot have a lot of the features you have been advertising.

When using DCC send in passive mode the sender listens on a local port (59 by default) and sends the receiver a CTCP message (an IRC protocol PRIVMSG message wrapped in \x01) containing their IP address in integer format and the port number. If the receiver accepts their client connects to the sender's open socket and the file is immediately dumped through the connection.

In theory there must be some scheme for forwarding the port through a firewall on the sender side, which might be setting the sending device as "DMZ". Or you can put the burden on the receiver by using active mode.

mIRC should really support UPnP by now but I don't think it does?
The UK also has Stoke-on-Trent giving away houses for £1 in a desperate attempt to unblight the place.

The UK's problem is not so much lack of houses (although the planning system really doesn't help) as a combination of over-financialisation and over-centralisation. People believe that all the high-paying employment, entertainment, and oligarch money is in London. It's also the default destination for immigrants. As a result you've got people trying to live in sheds there. Meanwhile everywhere from seaside towns to Birmingham gets treated as second-class citizens, with inadequate public transport and little inward investment.
Lol what? Why did you remove the release then? Isn't that because you want to clean up the readme before re-releasing it?

Anyways, I am done talking to you.
> not obvious to me that cheap electricity is worth it.

Why would you say that? I mean sure, if you can't manage to get cost-effectiveness right then it's not worth it. But otherwise dirt-cheap and readily available electricity is absolutely needed to solve the world's problems! Think about what will happen when large swaths of land loose access to drinking water after climate + pollution wreck things up and the only alternative is ocean water filtration and desalination plants that will need huuuge amounts of power! Also think about massive irrigation and civil engineering projects that will be needed to fight desertifications etc. And to keep heavily populated costal cities above (the new, higher) sea level. That's terrawats upon terrawats of energy that will be needed to constantly shuffle earth and water around, and maybe even to power huge city-scale air filters etc.

We have and still are wrecking up the planet to such a high extent that sooner or later the bill will arrive and we'll need to put heavy effort into re-terraforming Earth to keep it inhabitable... And there really is no other answer than nuclear here, while cities filled with LED-lights and low powered devices and highly thermally efficient buildings can run on renewables, heavy civil engineering projects and land decontamination and producing drinking water etc. will need waaay more power than our blanket of communication equipment and drones.

We could decide not to, but then we'll end up fighting for resources and instead of nuclear power with it's inherent risks we'll get... nuclear wars!
Federation prevents experimenting, iterating and developing the protocol forward.

Yes there are all sort of workarounds like protocol extensions and what have you not, but then you add massive new friction to the system ("No sorry my client doesn't do OpenVideoCall2.0 it only does LibreAVConference0.3"). That type of friction isn't that hard to deal with if you have a bunch of tech savvy people with time on their hands. But it is no longer appropriate for todays web that is used by everyone.

> Indeed, cannibalizing a federated application-layer protocol into a centralized service is almost a sure recipe for a successful consumer product today. It’s what Slack did with IRC, what Facebook did with email, and what WhatsApp has done with XMPP. In each case, the federated service is stuck in time, while the centralized service is able to iterate into the modern world and beyond.

I nearly never need Caps Lock, hence I remmapped Esc to Caps Lock. IMO, it is a better position for the Esc key anyway. Top-left is a bit far from everything else anyway.
As about Touchbar, I don't find it bad at all, and I'm not neutral either. I do use it, but I think it could be improved both from software and hardware point of view (say, haptic feedback would be nice).
Also, I would like to have it on external keyboard too.
At a macro level and over the long term, even if prices fall and this means that slightly less rich people can buy them instead, big houses are more expensive and more work to look after and maintain and there is a limit to the number of people willing and able to do that. The ultimate end result could be that some of these houses become derelict, which isn’t really good for anyone.

This is what happened to a good number of the large country houses in England after food prices fell in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Every 'green' energy out there also poses environmental risks as well, but those are played down while the risks of nuclear are exaggerated.
I'm happy that AMD really seems to be surging again. It was finally time for the ol' mobo+cpu+ram rebuild for me recently, and I ended up replacing my second generation core i5 2500k with a new Ryzen 5 and I could not be happier. The price was spot on compared to how much more I would have paid for an intel chip and board. I believe I got the Ryzen 5 2600, so one generation back from this 3600 I assume.
You can usually avoid this problem by using the web version of Slack, Discord, Rocketchat, etc. A single browser running everything is obviously more efficient than running ten.

JSON decoding of the kind you want requires either run time type information or a high level metaprogramming system, of which you store the data for the types in a sort of tree, which you could call a typed abstract syntax tree (typed AST).

Stating that V has no dependencies and then requiring dependencies means the original statement is false.
I’m curious: has anyone actually tested how many humans “wonder how they do [a thing]”? What would such a test of the general population even look like?
I get 5 hours battery life on my dual Xeon laptop under Linux.

I will say, I miss 2016-era power controls for Linux. Being able to set a max MHz allowed me to truly control my power and battery usage. Any idea why Linux changed that functionality in future power governers?
Only if that comes with funding to defend against attacks and restore services. Otherwise, congratulations, you've turned off a city and it won't be working again for six months.
I didn't try on free plan. But maybe just run it incrementally, at least once every 10k messages.
I don't see much benefit from slack over IRC, but definitely over mail.

mail threads are horrible, it's impossible to sort incoming by topic, quoting in replies is quirky, I can't bookmark mails well (at least not when forced to use outlook) and people abuse it as a to-do list making them forget anything that is not a mail...

I really like the forced threads in this one other slack competitor though (forgot which), there everything is a thread by default.

What I recommend for slack: star all persons and channels that are important, mute any channel with bots, notications only for mentions, occasionally go DND and edjucate people that they can overide it DND with a PM.

If you need to have it as a to-do: use the star function on messages.
If you setup a domain and a c-corp/limited company, you can apply for $1,000 of AWS credits under the AWS Activate scheme. Careful tho because if you get the $1k, you won't be eligible for further AWS credits under an incubator worth $100k+

https://aws.amazon.com/activate/

Not sure if they still offer the $1k credits for startups outside of incubators. Here's a thread where someone else got some credits.

I wish Mozilla would offer a DNS level content blocker (pihole, NextDns..) with lists curated by the public/volunteers (Sleeping Giants...?). Could be set as default in Firefox, but can be used by anyone, for free.

I think it could undermine the monetary incentive social media drives out of hate speech and fake news, while users can still use these platforms (and sites in general) for their intended purpose.
I think the main problem with recumbents is failing harder in borderline unridable conditions. On a conventional bike you can temporarily move body support to the feet for a section of pave, jump over potholes, fluidly transition to walking and back if necessary.

Just imagine recumbent cyclocross, that mental picture is all you need for understanding why recumbents are a niche. Most real life transportation use of bicycles is full of lesser versions of similar challenges.
My last kid is leaving for college in less than 2 months, and I'm right there with you. I need a place big enough for me, and for the visit of kids. (And hopefully, grandkids?) But that's nowhere near 700 sq m.

To be honest, I didn't even need 700 sq m to raise kids in. Some people are just so rich that enormous homes like that make sense to them. But then they are so out of touch that they don't realize that very few people even want lives like that.
Level of scrubbing to clean a dish is dependent on what the for was and how long it remained on that dish after the meal.

Restaurants don't need a robot dishwasher to individually scrub and examine each plate; they need a robot busser to collect the dishes as soon as a meal is done and put them directly into the dishwasher, so food doesn't have time to dry and bond with the dish.
Yeah you don't. You never added the size of the dependencies (like clang) to the size of the compiler.

And thats what I am saying. You don't even need to add the size of your stdlib. A compiler does not include the stdlib as per your definition . So your compiler is actually much less than 400kb.
But how do you make money to pay your devs?
I don't get it. You're using more RAM for literally no benefit. The end result is exactly the same. There isn't even a productivity benefit in the vast majority of cases because a huge chunk of software is packaged by the OS to use shared libraries by default.
I miss newsgroups.
Dark Souls (I've only played DS3 and Demon's Souls) and Bloodborne has a message passing system. You can leave notes on the ground for other players to find in their game. They use a fixed format for the sentence structure and the list of available words, which means they can prevent messages from using forbidden words. See the following article for the message format:

https://bloodborne.fandom.com/wiki/Notes

That said, some people get creative trying to bend the system into new uses, for example "amazing chest ahead" in front of an NPC rather than a storage location. Or "try tongue, but hole".

The message system also gave rise to a tradition of calling people "skeleton" when encouraging them on Reddit and elsewhere. In Dark Souls 2, a bunch of skeletons were placed in the world by the designers, and players started attaching creative messages to them:

An interesting feature is that you can rate messages, and if your message is rated (good or bad) you get back full health. There are many threads from players that managed to beat a boss because of this, but you can't abuse it because you can't reliable expect it to happen at the right time.

Not all messages from players can be trusted. There are many "illusory wall ahead" messages in front of places that look like they should have a secret door, but don't. Then you'll spend some time hacking at a regular wall. There are also messages that say "try jumping" in front of cliffs where you die if you jump off. This creates an extra level of connection to the players who left the message, because you have to consider if you trust a random person you never met or not, and if they trick you, you get that human element in a situation that was supposed to just be a regular cliff. Someone spent time setting up that joke for you. Sometimes jumping does work, and you hit a hidden platform and find some loot, so you never know.
This is a terrible suggestion/comparison. AMD has nowhere near the software support in the ML/AI space that Nvidia has. I wish that AMD would invest in a CUDA competitor and break Nvidia's monopoly, but that is not even close to being a reality, unfortunately.
You've increased your earnings, but if you run the numbers it's very unlikely you're actually better off unless you have a property appreciating at London speed.

Over my career (I did contract in London around y2k) I have more in my pocket each month - after expenses - by staying outside the SE. Rent or mortgage, commuting costs, the price of everything else - food, beer, tickets. Sure, I could earn £x extra and have to spend all of it and more on rent and getting to work.

The capital accumulation on the house would have turned it into making economic sense, and only that. Which only becomes real once you move out of the area.

This thread reminds me of using Dvorak back in 1999. Sure it may be better, it may even be faster.. but what happens in 20 years when I’m the only sucker using that layout? Take my own keyboard everywhere?
How on earth do you attribute responsibility here? Usually these things are an underfunded disaster waiting to happen, because the city can't find the money to upgrade from XP or whatever.

> feel the Uber service itself has a sort of a 'premium' feeling around it in Japan

I don't think it has any sort of feeling around it really - it's very small here and doesn't advertise, so I think you'd be fairly hard pressed to find someone off the street who's heard of it. (Unless they know it from Uber Eats that is, which does seem to be picking up steam.)
Why is this downvoted? Everybody can go to the playground and see that most features are not implemented yet.
Here's a study, "The Blue Book of Social Mentality", sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, replicating this finding that China is a low-trust society:

ASRock's Deskmini A300 is as close as you are getting anytime soon. It's a nice machine but not quite as small as the NUC at 155 x 155 x 80 mm.

Though note that the chip in this article is not going in a NUC form factor because it does not have integrated graphics. The Ryzen chips with integrated graphics top out at 4 cores and the new ones are still based on the older Zen+ microarchitecture.
That’s a very blithe dismissal of a real problem, especially lacking any sort of supporting evidence and analysis. For example, the current U. S. spent fuel storage crisis would seem worth addressing since that’s a long-term problem if it goes wrong.
The GP argues that it should be abolished everywhere, even in the cases where it makes good sense.
I should stress that that is also your misconception. For example, you can implement generics without an AST if you don't care about performance; codegen can either output a single binary mandatorily requiring a sort of vtable (therefore every parametric code will be indirected), or output a partial binary with holes where holes will be patched later (much faster but disallows optimization across hole boundaries).

You should have framed your question as follows: those features can be implemented without an AST, but an AST is a standard and reasonable way to do them and not using an AST would require a strong rationale. So what's that rationale? (And amedvednikov, this is my question for you.)
Well then you missed the entire point of my comment, which was specifically about the free plan, and specifically about when you haven't had a chance to run such a script incrementally.
It’s largely internal migration driving that effect in the UK, not external migration or financialisation. Children go to university and never come back. The good jobs ARE largely in London and the South East, and people follow their friends creating a network effect too.

It’s also not new - it’s been going on since the end of the Second World War pretty much.
Are they an endangered species? That is the point here. That and poaching them only for their fins.
> Slack and other tools are solving a problem customers have

...while creating others: fragmentation and lock-in
I just saw a couple of talks about it. Seems very interesting (more interesting to me than Rust), but I think it's too opinionated to gain much attention in this climate.
That depends on whether they took on a mortgage. If they're indebted and were considered a low-risk borrower, then it matters very much if a lot of them suddenly become a default risk.
I just posted this semi-technical post-mortem on Monzo's about why we had an outage with Faster Payments (UK bank transfers) last Month.

I'll hang around here to answer any more technical questions if anyone's interested.
> JSON decoding of the kind you want requires either run time type information

No it doesn't.

> Stating that V has no dependencies and then requiring dependencies.

For the 10th time. THERE ARE NO DEPENDENCIES. You build V with `clang v.c`.

Jesus Christ.
I see the Santander Cycles used in London all of the time (not calling them by their slang name because #politics) - it flies in the face of the notion that you have to be dockless to succeed in bike sharing.

Honestly, I hate the litter these dockless sharing companies have spread across the city.
Sure, that's exactly what I'm doing all the time.

I can search my logs easily https://i.imgur.com/nTpoYs0.png (soon with even better integration, the prototype is a separate web app), and I can just open the web client or app on any device on this planet and instantly have all my logs and channels, and just chat: https://i.k8r.eu/54BPMQ.png

Of course, I use self-hosted quassel and quasseldroid.

Many other projects such as weechat and IRCCloud are also working on making IRC better than slack at everything it does — IRCCloud has a web client, mobile client, hosted team servers, a slack bridge, reactions, threads, emoji, attachments, and all you'd want from slack, natively.

Other projects such as IRC.com are also working on bringing the feq advantages Slack has back to IRC to make it more attractive.

The one single real advantage of Slack is marketing. They can call companies and spend a lot on money on getting more customers, due to the VC funding.
If they are Too Big they are also Too Big To fail, taxpayers money will rescue those homeowners.

...OK, so you chose to communicate on it in order to communicate with "others", presumably due to an employer wanting you all to use Slack. In that situation, your communications are often legally not your own property (though it is arguable, at least in the US).

If you're using it personally, the limits on message counts are made quite clear. Exceeding them makes export difficult or impossible without paying. So don't exceed them.

A huge chunk of Slack's value prop (after decent UX) is exactly the fact that they have all of your communications. No chat admins, servers to manage and back up, or networking hell to orchestrate non-text content sharing in a multiparty way. Also makes corporate folks who pay for it happy as they have pretty good auditability/retention controls--not perfect, of course, but better than a truly p2p/federated solution, and again: no infrastructure management needed.

You don't have to be happy with it, but those are features, not bugs, and are valuable to many.

You also just, y'know, don't have to use Slack. Nobody is putting a gun to your head. If the hill you want to die on is "I won't work for any company/team that uses this chat platform", well, that's your choice (hell, there's not even an argument to be made about ubiquity making it a false choice; Slack has plenty of competitors, both paid/hosted and FOSS/federated, in active use by big companies). But don't pretend that a lack of local history or easy export is some sort of highway robbery or hostage situation.
What do you think happens when a core core router breaks? The level one guy fixes it?

There are a few Palo Alto and Cisco guys near me. They definitely aren’t answering the help desk phone but they are level 3 support. Same with my development team.

Not to mention large orgs have NOCs dedicated to this. The last company I was at at a couple CCAs in the NOC. They were smart but an odd breed.
Stop advertising your language as being more capable than it is.

That is the only complaint. You are advertising under false pretenses and asking for money for early access to a product (through Patreon) which does match what is advertised.
It's not even a rumor. They announced the date.
99% of percent of the new programming languages are nothing more than a syntactic sugar over an existing language, and 99% percent of their developers are developing without any real use case and. I suppose they are made only to collect some money (by donations eventually). As they are developed they are immediately forgotten.
