>In 2016, Slack was two years old and already used by millions of people. Our codebase had grown rapidly, and like many companies that focused on product/market fit, our code was built in a way that favored time-to-market over maintainability, consistency, or reusability.

>What does a button look like in Slack? How do you build it? What words do you put in it? It was up to individual teams to make these decisions.

I am really surprised that their engineering org took so long to see the long-term payoff of common CSS components/styling when it comes to linting, minifying, and caching on web and sizing/spacing/scaling on native mobile. I am even more surprised that their product team didn't consider a unifying "brandfeel" from the get-go. If your goal is to _scale_ and _scale fast_ while being a judicious steward of VC monies... wouldn't you want to eliminate as much wheel-reinventing as possible?

I say this without any gratuitous negativity/internet holier-than-thouism... I just wouldn't expect this level of "bespoke craftsmanship" for a solved problem like common theming/styling in a engineering org at their series F stage with Accel, a16z, and KPCB already on the cap table. Weird.
Total computer sales is a poor measurement as people would frequently upgrade or have multiple computers. One at home, one at work, possibly a laptop, and one or more upgrades really eat into that 150 million.

In 1994 an estimated 31% of us homes had a computer, and 6% of homes went online. But even here, it’s much easier to count people going online than homes with a computer.
Have you done much travel with a rinko-style dismantled bike in the US? I'm curious how trains and buses feel about the (still big and unwieldy) bag.

Interesting... here in a relatively touristy part of Melbourne, anecdotally, it's pretty much those backpackers who are working the tables in half of the trendy restaurants and cafes.

There's definitive trends on making food 'instagrammable', but the overall quality and competition between all the restaurants is undeniably good.

Although now that I think about it, you take somewhere like Lygon street famous for its Italian, and the local advice would be to never eat there if you want good Italian (with maybe one or two notable exceptions).
In statistics if 100 people think a destination is good what is the chance that the experience is not good?
IRT bicycles in relation to buses and trains, mass transit can be designed with bikes in mind. Dallas is not exactly known for having the best mass transit system around, but DART buses have easy to use bike racks on the front and the light rail trains have handicap accessible cars with flat loading platforms and hooks to hang your bike to keep it somewhat out of the way.

Your points on other forms of travel, such as regular cars + bicycles, are definitely true.

At best, describing the (common) Libertarian approach to justice as "an eye for an eye" is over simplified to the point of absurdity. For example, the vast majority of Libertarians are opposed to State sanctioned executions for crimes, even in the case of murder or a crime where financial restitution isn't obviously applicable. Of course there are debates in Libertarian circles about exactly what the nature of restitution should be in cases like that.
How hard would it be to remove those bits that ignored non-commercial traffic? You might be a privacy conscious guy, but what is to stop the owner of this code base from removing this if statement? I am sure a company like Infosys would be happy to take on a project like this, and throw some less liberty minded people at the problem.
I find it fascinating that private prisons draw such ire while the prison guard union draws so little, when the prison guard union has all the exact same incentives and is drastically more powerful.

California would have had legal marijuana a decade sooner except for lobbing by the union, they're a major force for mandatory minimum sentences and tougher sentencing in general.

This seems like a trivial easy-PR win for some legislators that does very little to meaningfully address the problems with criminal justice in the US. Private prisons are a tiny little piece of a much bigger problem and there's still a lot of real work to be done.

What kind of authorisation mechanisms do you leverage to achieve intra process/ intra server trust?

Has there been any protocols which were written from scratch because an out of the box solution simply didn't do what was needed?

I would hope any case where the emoji is described rather than shown to a jury would be tossed as a mistrial. Could you imagine the court describing video evidence instead of allowing the jury to review it?

And yes, what to show for the emoji? Which platform's rendering? What about reactions to the message that can be added in some apps?

All in all I weigh emojis very little compared to other possible evidence considering how convoluted this all is.

And of course sending someone a knife emoji is not a threat. A threat requires specifics.

This may be the pivotal pinch point which marks the root of our disagreement. I honestly feel more fellowship with animals and computers than humans.

Also, when it comes to the "needs" of humanity, I think we've surpassed that mark. It's beginning to appear that people are insatiable consumers that will destroy anything for a bit of convenience, all while being unhappy the entire time.

I'm not on team human.
Yes, 4 * arctan(1) will do in any language. I just find some joy in knowing a formula that uses only addition, multiplication, and addition, and computing it directly.
My favorite piece of this is how it tracks my kid across all of their ages. My kids look nothing like what they looked like as infants, and when they were infants, they looked very similar, but I can choose a kid and it shows me photos of them going back to their birth, and it doesn't confuse the kids at all.
You remind me of the famous "I vitelli dei romani sono belli" [0], which:

1) Is correct Latin

2) Sounds Italian, not Latin

3) In Italian it would mean "God's veals are beautiful"

4) In Latin it actually means "Go, Vitellio, to the sound of war (made by) the roman God"

And I'm sorry if it looks like 13 over 24. It's supposed to look like 1/2 times 3/4. (The next term adds 5/6, and so on.)
This thread starts by talking about "alcoholism" which is an unhelpful term because problem drinking, harmful drinking, and dependent drinking are all problems even if they're not accompanied by physical addiction.

Both the things you describe - one person have 4+ glasses of wine on a night out, and another person have one glass of wine at each meal and another before bed - are worrying.

Binge drinking (and 4+ glasses of wine is definitely a binge) significantly increases risks of a number of harms from things like accidents, STIs, unplanned pregnancy, etc. The advice strongly recommends against binging, but if it's only occasionally it's probably not that harmful.

The other situation is a bit more complicated depending on serving size and wine strength.

A small glass of wine is about 150ml. If the wine is 9% ABV that would give us 1.5 UK units per glass. Two of those a day, 6 days a week, is about 19 units. That's more than the recommended limit which is 14 units per week, and it doesn't have more than one drink free day.

A larger glass of wine is about 200 ml. The wine might be stronger at 12.5% ABV. That gives us 2.5 units per glass, and 30 units per week. This is probably problem and harmful drinking.

For alcoholism we're probably talking about people who need a medically assisted withdrawal from alcohol.

https://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/alcohol-use-disorders/...

A medically assisted withdrawal from alcohol would be considered if the person is drinking 15 units per day. That's two 750ml bottles of 10% ABV wine every day. This would be an outpatient programme.

An inpatient medically assisted withdrawal would be considered if the person drinks over 30 units per day. This is 750ml of 40% ABV spirits, or 4 bottles of that 10% ABV wine.
Nah, I have evidence. I just have no need to post it here when anyone that truly cares about "good faith" could confirm it with minimal research. To me, the notion that more than 50% of software engineers have mood or personality disorders is the extraordinary one.

Also, I'm not sure how badgering me with calls for "supporting evidence" after countering with appeals to personal experience (which I also don't care, I'm not here to make a federal case) is not supposed to breed resentment.
This applies for four prisons. But, from the article:

The contracts for these four prisons expire in 2023 and cannot be renewed under AB32, except to comply with a federal court order to reduce crowding in state-run facilities.

That court order is still in effect and doesn't seem likely to go away any time soon. So... the contracts can be renewed? It's not clear to me if this law is going to make a difference.
Also makes accidental theft much easier. I grocery shop with my kids, and I pretty regularly end up handing something weird or an unexpected bag of candy back to the checkout person.
Looks good, thank you. Added it to my wishlist
You don't need automated license plate recognition for that, though. If you find the motion events in the wee hours, and have a sufficiently high-quality video frame [1], you can easily check the type of car and then know the license plate by reading it with the neural network that was preinstalled between your ears rather than a software one.

I've been writing my own home surveillance camera network video recorder software, so I've thought about plugging in something like this, but I don't think it's really necessary. The one time I might use it is if there's a car that was likely involved in a burglary, I might scan the previous few weeks to find previous times they were in-frame. Then I might see their scoping the place out, potentially revealing more about themselves. It's too labor-intensive to look through that many motion events by hand.

[1] My understanding is this requires some care. You have to select the right kind of camera, place/aim/zoom it carefully, and tune it for license plate recognition, particularly at night. I think the cameras typically come tuned for slow-moving, not-very-reflective-to-IR objects. License plates on a moving car are the opposite, so you want to say decrease the aperture and increase the shutter speed from the default, position it carefully as I said, maybe tweak some other settings, and test it.
Why is "overtourism" even considered a problem? Just start advertising new destinations somewhere else in the country, raise the prices at the original overwhelmed destination and take profit.
The whole point of libc—or any language runtime—is that it's "just there." In other words, insofar as a piece of code "is C", it can expect to have access to these libraries; and insofar as a compiler "is a C compiler", it will be expected to link your code to a runtime that includes these libraries.

What this means is that:

• people who are learning a language, can learn language features "through" examples that rely on the included batteries to demonstrate a point (for example, image support in DrRacket, or the HTTP client in Go), without needing to also learn everything involved in ecosystem package management first;

• people who want to write small, self-contained, yet portable utility programs (e.g. coreutils), can just rely on the language runtime and its presence on basically every OS, rather than declaring package dependencies (= not portable) or statically linking in their own libraries (= not small). The more stuff a language's runtime does, the more such programs become possible to write in said language.

• features in a shared runtime can rely on other things in a shared runtime; and the library ecosystem of a runtime can use the runtime's data-structures as a lingua franca to specify library APIs in terms of. JS libraries return promises because the JS runtime includes promises. Elixir libraries pass around DateTimes because the Elixir runtime specifies a DateTime type. Go libraries take and return slices, maps, and channels because those are things that exist in the runtime. If these runtimes didn't have these things—even if the languages had fancy macro systems that meant that pulling in the relevant library would enable exactly the same syntax—then library support for these would be fragmented, rather than expected. Exactly the way library support for prefix-length strings is in C.

That web page's color choices have made it very difficult to read. I don't know who thought putting light grey text on white was a good idea. I had to copy and paste the text to a text editor in order to read it.
I applaud your honesty in expressing a desire for open borders. I think culture would benefit from more open and honest discussions on this topic as all the double speak makes it frustrating and boring to discuss, normally.

I’m not really very interested in borders one way or the other but national borders certainly aren’t “artificial.” There are certainly some artificial aspects (lines of longtitude, etc) but borders are also created by geography and culture and saying that culture is artificial is odd to me. There are distinct peoples with different values. We also have lots in common as humans, but the border of France and Germany, for example, is very real and those countries have different cultures.

I think the EU is a good example of improved relations between countries but it’s certainly fine and not some sort of mental disorder to think that Switzerland and Italy are different and it’s fine that they are different.

If nations want to have distinct boundaries and populations then there should be an avenue to respect human rights and not resort to racism and undue nationalism. It’s also a good time to point out that immigration has been essential for major countries and is a very powerful positive force.
In which case you don't need to send probes hundreds of meters long. You'd send something much more compact and undetectable. You don't have to worry for probe's longevity so to enclose it inside an asteroid since you're launching from relatively shorter distances.

Oumuamua as an alien probe sounds probable. Two of them in a span of two years, not so much. Besides contrary to Oumuamua this one has all the characteristics of a comet.
I don't think it's crystal clear how much Google makes from targeted vs honest classic "contextual" ads, though they're certainly plowing ahead with the former.

I'm dearly hoping this targeted stuff gets enough backlash / blockage that adtech companies give up on it, or that DuckDuckGo and other more privacy-respecting companies end up winning in the end.
It's private prisons, not private judges. The prisoner would be released when they'd served their sentence.
Nonsense. There are things where the pricing mechanism of allowing free enterprise allow us to search for and converge to an optimum. There are other things where information asymmetry, problem opacity, and transaction costs mean that it's better handled a different way.

It isn't an ideological problem. You'll see this choice in places like companies, where people band together to solve a problem rather than invoicing each other to get to some objective.

I saw their comment and frankly I think it's a perfectly reasonable sentiment. That objecting to incarceration practices in America is viewed as contributing to a "political flamewar" by the mods here is surprising to me.
The article mentions Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg as examples of people who succeeded without college, but I find that to be absurd. Being accepted into Harvard and then intentionally dropping out after 2 years is all the difference in the world from never applying to college.
Cost plus availability. That is why a small percentage of RPis are now being used in industrial control applications where you still need the board available in 10+ years.

> immigration is not a threat to your life

My wife and I have both been hit by illegal immigrants. One of them driving drunk and drinking in the car while he hit me, and had no insurance or license, and had a prior DUI that he missed court for. The other (one that hit my wife’s car) simply didn’t have insurance, but wasn’t drinking.

My wife’s car had to be repaired heavily (over $5,000), which was paid for by our insurance, and the $500 adoptable was paid for by us. When my car was hit in the back, both of us were in the car, both of us had serious concussions because this accident was much worse. This is the one where the guy was driving with a beer in his hand, and he tried to leave the scene of the accident but one of his engine’s Peripherals was hanging out Of his hood and he couldn’t get his car to start.

The fact that the people in question were immigrants (one from Honduras, the other I’m not sure) Is not the problem. The problem is that they are here illegally and in a sanctuary county, which means that the law-enforcement is in a Weird position where they cannot really do anything about petty crimes like driving under the influence, because it’s an expensive process of dealing with the county. So, in both cases, these people are still roaming around probably hitting other people, meanwhile both of us have had to pay to fix our own vehicles and had at least medium level injuries (concussion symptoms last for a lot longer than I realized, and we were both Having serious issues a month later).

So, while immigrants don’t necessarily Harm people, illegal immigration certainly does.
The course of development with WebGPU initiative is breathtaking. The effort poured into the API is producing content that will be consumed by people that desire to study GPGPU applications.

Included in the final specification or not, a well-tailored shading language is only of benefit to the GPGPU community, similar to how simultaneous existence of DirectX, Metal, Vulkan has been to the robustness of the abstractions of the engines built upon them. No one should doubt the rigor of developers that are shaping the WSL specification; they are experts in their game. Moreover, the web mode of SPIR-V will also have considerable differences in its morph, and all parties are trying to find a good common denominator where none of the existing works is an exact solution; the work of Apple here will benefit everybody going forward.

Also, we are getting GPGPU computing abilities in the browser for a much broader market on many form factors! Let's prepare for it!
