I agree that Slack can pull me out of the zone. Also it's terrible when you're trying to find a decision your team made in the past.

I tried Twist but couldn't get any buy in from the team. Seems like it would solve the issues I have with Slack: it has real-time chatting, but also long-term async storage. It's also easy to move a conversation from the real-time chat to the long-term storage thing.
So it's kinda like Twitch for coding?
You are correct. It has long been a secret in the advertising industry that adult players of "hide and seek" games are among the most profitable and sought after demographics for purchasing of interior home furnishings. [1]

The only problem has been how to narrowly target this highly sought after group of customers. Because they are notoriously difficult to locate.
There will always be one such comment. I haven't ever been let down.
The jobs will follow when employers can’t hire anyone. If one wants to live in a urban dump to have a certain job, that’s fine, but don’t expect government intervention if they employer does not pay a living wage.

It's well known that the Teslas are no good on race tracks as they typically cannot complete even a single hot lap without overheating. In this respect the Taycan is in an entirely different class, it has higher voltage electrics (800V) which allows it to run at sustained high power for much longer periods.

Of course, Musk will likely have the overheating protections disabled on the test car to keep the fanboys happy. Without that the Model S has no chance to beat the Taycan.
Most midsize businesses will be thinking of having at least two CC processors.

Having a stripe loan would make me, as a successful business owner, make that move much sooner.
ohh - is there anyone here who can answer a question for me. I have been writing a science fiction story which features large rotating space stations like the one in 2001 and I wondered...

What is the force on a rotating structure in space. Is it possible to build a space station that rotates with 1G force on people at the rim, and if so what scale of structure could be built with current, or plausible technology? Where does a structure go from "imagined future" to "magic"?
Well they just purchase anyone who makes a ripple in social media, so the choice might be a bit artificial there.

I've been tracking the Australian and Canadian systems for the last ~10 years, and it seems they keep learning from each other and making adjusts accordingly.

Both countries use a points-based immigration system[0], so there's much more flexibility in adjusting for specific skill shortages or regional areas.

I suspect that was a deliberate move to squeeze more profit in a quicker manner.
Addition and multiplication (i.e. arithmetic) over the integers are all that are necessary to express first order logic and allowed Gödel to express his incompleteness theorems at such a fundamental level. The logical power of arithmetic is likely why many seemingly simple questions about arithmetic can have very complicated answers or no definitive answers at all.
Does windows have virtual desktops? I don't see any hotkeys for moving between vdesks. Never thought I'd see the day MS makes a tiling wm with hotkeys inspired by i3 & friends.

Something they didn't mention is that joining would not at all be a sustainable course of action. You'd end up having to join for all of your customers, or at least all of them that use slack and thought to ask.
Even the worst dictators have fans, or they get overthrown.
ah yes i agree with those. As you said, the selection of hypothesis is the actual problem, and statistical power doesnt solve that one either.

There are some scientists thinking over this though. This is an idea from a neuroscience lab: https://www.researchmaps.org/

The idea was to create causal directed graphs for biology from the literature , which would be used identify what experiments are missing and thus inform future science.
Ironically, I once got feedback from my team lead that when I would start with my question without first pinging with a generic "hello", it seemed demanding.
Yes most likely; that’s my point. It can become a serious organizational problem when useful codified heuristics like this are able to be abused in this way (by treating them as immutable rules, or used as a weapon to win arguments).
If this is at all similar to the antitrust investigation I don't think they'll have to look far to show that FB used consumer data inappropriately and manipulated advertising prices.

The skills we’re missing could be easily trained for. People would happily do the training for free even if it lasted months (say through online portals that were self paced) just for a chance at getting a job / a guaranteed in-person interview at least.

There is a skills shortage again yes, but it is remarkably easy to remediate a significant portion of it, particularly in an industry with such profits.

I think though also Peter Thiel is right in his criticisms of colleges. They have dropped the ball significantly, especially compared to India’a colleges, which almost overnight rapidly shifted to an IT/Healthcare focus in the 1980’s.
I know! And it's so frustrating, because it's so easy to just include the question as a part of the first message (e.g. "Hi! Could you help me with feature X?").

I've been trying to think of a good way of asking it. Maybe something like "Just so you know, I won't be offended if you ask the question with your initial greeting. It would actually be helpful because then I can start thinking about the answer right away. :)" Does that work?
Well, I started the thread responding to a snarky one-liner that added even less to the conversation, so there's that.

I replied in earnest with a sizable comment comparing the two things (forums and malls) from several aspects (uniqueness, social function, etc), so that surely added something.

And, no, I'd say "signaling disapproval" does add to the conversation. In fact "signaling disapproval" is a large and necessary part of human conversation, and essential for forming social conceptions and hierarchies...
Complete opposite experience here. I assist customers with technical implementations and the projects where we connect via Slack go SO much better.
Haha, that's terrible.

I get annoyed by the security questions in a different way. If they are all based on "firsts" such as first school, first address, first friend, etc, I'm screwed. I moved 23 times growing up and went to 9 different schools. I have no idea what my "first" things were.
But aren't there huge dollar reasons for wanting to get into orbit in general?

Hi Peter — thanks for doing this!

I'm from the UK, working on a startup with a friend in the US (who is a UK citizen also, but immigrated to the US via their spouse).

Based on my research I'm considering applying for a B1 visa as a low friction way to have easy access to the states for months at a time, to collaborate on the startup in person. I have a few questions:

- Based on this information, is that a path you would recommend? We haven't incorporated yet, but will likely incorporate in the UK first, however any input is welcome.

- Thinking medium-long term, do you know if it's looked down upon by border agents to continually re-enter on a B1 visa? (e.g. multiple 2-3 month trips a year)

- While doing this, I'd may continue to do some work for a UK company to keep my personal cashflow rolling. That would be as a UK based employee, with UK based payroll etc. Would you imagine that to impact a successful B1 application?

Finally, is this a type of application you'd consider taking on? Thanks again!
My background is in hanging around 100+ IRC channels which is probably why I never have felt Slack distracting a bit. I have notifications on for only direct @s and I can postpone any interactions accordinly when needed.

Compared to that emails (and Basecamps and such) feel anxious: tens and tens of different information cramped in a long form text and the expectation us to handle all of them at once and as soon as possible, after all it’s email.

And then again I know of people that have it completely other way around and I understand that. I also think that there’s no solution for that in software form, but in behaviour: we need to embrace the asyncronisity.
RICO is very hard to prove[1] and usually not applicable outside of what most people would undoubtedly agree is organized crime (i.e.a mafia family)

>It’s an assurance that Facebook isn’t actually retaining data that it could use again someday to recognize your face.

Given fb's history of lying, it's only an assurance that they won't overtly use such data. No guarantee that they're not still storing it on a server somewhere, and good luck proving as much.

Also, what does this mean for people without accounts that are being tracked? I wonder if facial data is collected on them too, after being labeled by friends.
No but the amount of poverty they have relative to my country is not even comparable and this just takes away money that could be used for that.
Feynman was talking to scientists. I do think that science has to provide answers, not just data. The public interprets every datum in a myriad of ways, and does not have a mechanism to establish consensus, hence you would end up with constant crisis.
Serious. 12 char min for a password is silly. “Common passwords” is silly and meaningless. Together they make no sense.

The big difference is that we link the source code to the video. So you can click on the code and watch exactly when the developer wrote it. We are also making it work directly from the IDE and GitDuck is 100% for developers.

I get that this comment is downvoted. I honestly didn't understand the other one. I don't care about the points. I don't even know how they are used except for killing comments. I've also read discussions on voting on the site that I adhere to. If I downvote, I also leave a reason why in an answer to give the poster context (except if it's an obvious troll which I hardly think I qualify for).

Someone posted what they think is a reasonable answer to what I proposed and I didn't agree. I could expand on the discussion and haven't changed my mind. I thought we all came here to do that.

When one thinks about the security breaches, manipulation to share more data or buy more IAPs, addiction-inducing designs, attack tools used against activists and dissidents and the general lack of respect towards people, tech is quite an abusive industry.

The biggest and richest tech companies all abuse the privacy of their so-called customers. The customers don't really own or control the devices they buy any more, nor do they control the software. The companies decide at their discretion which version is used and if someone is allowed to use a piece of software.

Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook could instantly cut anyone from their online lives and they are able to disable physical devices and locally downloaded applications.

It's been hard adapting to the... less structured environment I'm currently in, but this is the thing that really gets me.
That sounds awesome, but how does a 3k game of hide & seek actually work? I mean, by home rules growing up, one person was "it" and had to find everyone. That would suck. One person would have to find 2999 others, and most of them would just be stuck stuck under an Espevar, waiting.

This is an important problem to solve. I call on the engineers of this site to find a solution to the hide & seek scaling problem. Let's get to work!
So the plan is to move somewhere with no jobs and wait for the opportunities to materialize?

I attended a talk given by ESR in the 90s at Microsoft. It was entirely reasonable on all accounts for all parties (except for a single audience member who nearly got boo'd). Even then, the mood was one of conciliatory agreement, like easy to get day passes to cross the Berlin Wall.

I continue to be utterly amazed at the OSS transformation that Microsoft has pulled off.

RMS's dedication to human expression via computers has given us all such wonderful things.
There's a large gulf between the simplicity of the question and the difficulty of obtaining the answer. Whenever a simple question cannot be answered via any known simple method, it seems as if one has unexpectedly come up against something deeper and more fundamental.
Those are solutions for the shell, not for the package manager.
> I get asked sometimes why I wrote code a certain way by the very person who suggested the change

This drives me crazy. Even worse is when I get told out of the blue that something I did is wrong, by the supervisor who told me to do it that exact way some months ago.

This has happened almost everywhere I have worked, and none of those places kept change discussions to a specific ticket. I'm going to push for this approach more in the future, it sounds like the right solution.

Regarding 3), please email me and I can give you the range that attorneys charge for O-1s.
Ok, that's evidence enough! Still looks like a prop though :P
My thoughts exactly. You cannot scale Docker. You can to a point, but there's always k8s looming ahead of you, saying, "sooner or later you will have to learn me instead". So most people learn it sooner than later to migrate to it while their workloads are still small. Of course, they often don't grow large enough for the benefits of k8s to kick in, but that's another story.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, right?
> neighbourhood character

That's actually a really vague, bullshit reason cited by people who want to keep, say, people poorer than them out.

To provide a bit more substance: if you never build any new housing, and prices go up and up, maybe the physical form of the neighborhood stays the same, but the character of the people who can afford to live there absolutely changes.

Desktop features and performance have (understandably) being sidelined and ignored over the years, with everything tuned to servers. Almost everyone paid to work in Linux including Linus are funded by Linux server companies.

Example of someone quitting over his desktop performance patches being repeatedly ignored:

http://blog.falconindy.com/articles/con-kolivas-is-a-mad-man...

>In a 2007 interview, he notes that he initially got into kernel hacking as a hobby. Starting in 2003, he wrote some low impact code, learned from it, and then dug deeper into scheduling and desktop response. Eventually, major developers (Linus included) got wind of his work and asked him to clean it up for mainline submission. He proceeded to churn out some other projects in the realm of desktop performance: the Staircase Scheduler, Plugsched (a hotplug CPU scheduler to integrate the Staircase Scheduler), and the Staircase Deadline Scheduler . Fast forward, and Con is starting to feel like constant requests for bug fixes and resolution for corner cases is more of a job and less of an intellectual hobby. Throw in some more corner cases, a few extremely vocal users, and a medical condition (related to programming) that landed Con immobile for 6 weeks, and he decides to throw in the towel. In addition to the frustration, he also felt that mainline developers weren’t concerned enough with desktop interactivity.

I guess not particularly if you are comparing them to the cost of the largest structure ever built.

And this thing doesn't even help with the orbit part, it helps with getting to a different part of the solar system once you get to orbit.
In my city it's essentially illegal to build higher density residences than exist currently. Not sure how this is a failure of the market. So of course rents and real estate values are soaring and the current landowners do everything in their power to prevent development of anything that would allow people to live in the city cheaply.

> recently, the Somerville planning office released a report in which they confided that, in a city of nearly 80,000 people, there are exactly 22 residential buildings that meet the city’s zoning code. Every single other home is too dense to be legal: Either it takes up too much of the lot, or it has too many homes, or it’s too tall, or it’s not set far back enough from the street, and so on. (Note that this calculation actually doesn’t include parking requirements, which might very well do away with those last 22 conforming buildings.)

It's a highly simplistic theory that fails to take into account the irrationality of economic activity. Yet another economic theory trying to oversimplify psychology with numbers.

How many workers actually have the capability of choosing between vastly different fields? There are dozens of factors that lead to people choosing career paths in the short, medium, and long term.

>When you opt out of facial recognition on Facebook, the company will delete your template, meaning it will have no original reference point for your face and therefore cannot find your face at all.

The details are pretty sparse. It would be nice if they clarified how they manage black-listing your template ID somewhere but still disconnect it from your profile. If you opt-ed back in at some point, they need to know to remove you from that black-list, which might imply there's still some sort of connection from your profile to a template ID or maybe the generic template still exists but they're disallowed to associate it to a profile and it's in some shadow table?
At my job I regularly spin up ~1000 servers to test some workloads or do some data processing. Would be a pain to do that manually, and spinning up 1000 servers isn't significantly more expensive than 100 or 10 but it is significantly faster.
