Nothing is universally applicable.

But yeah, I certainly wouldn't use it for hard real-time tasks. If you can't tolerate missing deadlines ever, there is a very short list of acceptable tools.

But (and correct me if I'm wrong; it's not my area) HFT doesn't strike me as hard real-time? See also a sibling comment that asks about Jane Street's OCaml use.

It's not like GC pauses are happening constantly; Go programs don't allocate that much, and a well tuned program can go a long time between collections. It likely is appropriate for many soft or firm real time systems. And you can shut the GC off if there are sections where GC really must not happen:

Zulip's hosted plans for corporate users have a similar model to Slack's -- there's a free plan with limited access to history, and a paid plan with full access to everything.

Since you mentioned nonprofits, we provide free hosting for open source projects and free or highly discounted hosting (e.g. 15% price) for many other nonprofits.

See https://zulipchat.com/for/open-source/ for more details.
I'm using something I wrote for work. Basic steps:

- Create and trust a CA

- Issue SSL for api.slack.com

- Deploy something like https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/issues/97 with your code to modify the response body

- Strip HPKP headers, if present

- Strip CAA in DNS, if present

My Slack just refreshed and now the WYSIWIG is gone, it may have just been rolled back.
how is this news, it seems like you should just report it to slack.
The FAQ explains things well: making minor changes, although difficult is still possible. I have even personally changed multiple PDFs; I find qpdf to be a great tool for that. But making changes large enough to require reflowing the text is almost impossible.

I do not consider my objection addressed. If anything, that FAQ further emphasized the current difficulty of editing PDFs and they are only proposing to make things easier. So no one is really objecting to the fact that currently changing PDFs is hard. Whether or not that is desirable though, is a separate matter, one that the FAQ does a poor job explaining.
Plan has been around for a while, yes, but the building was not open to the public. Apparently that has now changed.

They had mechanical printing presses used for wood-blick illustrations. They also had movable type printing presses for long text. For some reason they didn’t combine the two until much later. Probably market forces though—Europe was rather unique in having demand for everyone to own a Bible during the reformation. Without needing thousands of copies, hand presses were easier.
Curious if you've explored something based on ProseMirror?

I've heard good things about it and it seems to have a decent implementation for hybrid WYSIWYG + Markdown.

Losing the news is a threat to democracy or great news if you want to bring back rule by the minority. Why? Voters need to be well informed but are increasingly getting less and less alternative sources and eventually none. Some new age media possibilities I had been thinking of:

1) Double politicians (or leftover politicians). Most of English speaking world has left over votes with no representative, have politicians elected with leftover votes. These are paid positions with no power. They will keep the elected politicians in check and can do local journalism. Otherwise those politicians who may get up to 50% of the vote, will stop working for those potential voters by going back to their lives.

2) Citizen news. Government allows citizens to post anything on their personal blogs/columns/newspapers. It has the side effect of being historical because, the government will forever host it vs losing information when the company/individual no longer hosts it for whatever reason. Registration is simply getting username/password from local government with ID.

Or UBI. Journalists gotta eat!

Both of the points require that the government recognise that some information is better than nothing and an essential need if there is have democracy. To do otherwise, is to let evil continue under the veil (Corruption, abuse, etc). Those who would be against 'information needs to be free and widely available', you guessed it, evil.

This is my experience as well. Moving over to their new editor has left the markdown support in limbo between different views. I.e it varies between the view when creating an issue, editing an issue and commenting on an issue.. It's really infuriating. I asked them about it on Twitter and it's apparently a work in progress?
While strictly true, if you can download at link capacity it usually means the upstream is okay too.
I'm one of those "developers in other countries". I wish it were that easy. I have an elite degree (global top 30 college in CS), but I've still been undercut by Americans.

The real problem is that a lot of people are willing to work for nearly free just to play with a new technology, and some are doing it to build a reputation and get reviews.

Hey guys, I am the person behind this website. Please know that it is still in progress. I wanted the initial version out so it is just the "roadmap" images for now. However, I am working on making these roadmaps more accessible for the beginners and easier to contribute to. In the list of things planned for the coming week is the textual version for each with different sections (job-ready, intermediate, advanced, overall landscape, etc) and each of the steps are going to be clickable with resources to learn from.

The website and the content is opensource and can be found at https://github.com/kamranahmedse/roadmap.sh. Please feel free to contribute, drop your feedback, feature requests and issues there.
And I still didn't, keep using physical keyboard and believe it's superior. Luckilly there still are phones with full-qwerty keyboards out there.

> We should have more seriously considered deploying hard power to places that initially fell into authoritarian rule. I know Cuba was a failure and I know military action has serious consequences (especially for civilians), but compared to authoritarian governments wielding vast nuclear arsenals and ponderous economic weight... it's a tough choice.

I'm impressed how you blatantly assume that marching into some foreign country, guns blazing, will magically turn them into a liberal democracy.

I mean, your track record is abysmal. There are exceptions (eg Japan) but generally when the US puts boots on the ground somewhere, the place turns to shit.
If we all got quietly wiped out tomorrow, I wonder how long it would take for the Burj Khalifa to fall down. Probably less than 3800 years. Then maybe some older, shorter, stronger skyscraper in a geologically stable zone would take the crown for a while.

In the long run though, I suspect the solid stone construction and ultra stable shape of the Great Pyramid would see it regain the title and keep it for hundreds of thousands of years until it blew away.

Interesting to speculate about, anyway. Let us hope we all live forever.

I feel the same about the new Nextcloud MD editor, it's great, until you make a formatting mistake or want to correct formatting. As a rule these auto-md-renderers should come with a plain text editing mode.

Mold is an issue in Finland,

I just received this from Slack support and want to table flip.

I think I'd rather have Clippy shoved in my face.
The blame is not for the monopoly exactly. Rather the reason IE dev stagnated for five years. With no competition and WWI over, MS retired the team.
No, that's not correct. You can get rewards from the page you're already on, whether it's the cheapest or not. You're not redirected and you're not incentivised to switch the retailer.

I'm getting their points from doing online grocery order directly from the supermarket site for example.
I find the "it's not a tomb" argument needs some work. If we also consider the other pyramids were all tombs, and that there is evidence of undiscovered rooms in Khufu's pyramid (scanpyramids project and others) then it seems pretty weak.
What Slack really should do is have a WYSIWYG editor that keeps the markdown syntax. Just apply rich text formatting to the markdown syntax, but otherwise leave the text alone. This will provide a nice reminder about what the syntax does (I always forget that Slack treats asterisks differently than markdown) but let me edit using all of the muscle memory that I've built over the years.
And “Javascript would have categorically improved on this compared to more traditional multi-threaded solutions” remains true nevertheless.
Maybe they have statistics that indicate that their larges user group by now isn't capable of using markdown? Most non-techies are not aware of markdown.
They only published the investigations they did to win prestige and standing that would distract regulators from interfering with their monopolies over local advertising. Hardcore journalism has never been a moneymaker.
I could condense that down to a single task that will get you 90% of the way there: Learn how to bit-bang a serial interface on two different microcontroller platforms.
> When the format was created, computers only had a few KBs of RAM. Yet the format should be capable of editing documents with thousand of pages. The format solves this issue by delegating the memory management to the user.

That's a good decision. Make the file format versatile and powerful. Don't constrain it by the limitations of contemporary hardware.

> Also, the file was made with the assumption it was supposed to be printed, not shared. It is easier to hide parts of the document instead of removing the data.

I agree it's made with the assumption of being printed, but that's part of the appeal—preserving visual fidelity of how the document looks. You can't send people a docx and expect them to see the exact same thing on their screen down to every detail.

And no it's not difficult to remove data. If you know exactly what to remove, it is quite easy to remove things. To remove text, find the Tj or TJ operators, remove them and their arguments. To remove an image, find the Do operator (occasionally BI, ID, EI) and remove it. You might have to perform decompression before doing that. For images, you might have to run another pass to delete the referenced object. But all these are all very easily automated.

> Over the years specification got so complex it became very hard to implement a minimal editor, viewer, parser or generator. If the format was simpler, it would be possible to make "save as PDF" more accessible.

The reason "save to PDF" is difficult to implement from scratch is not because of its complicated specification. Indeed parsers are quite easy to write. The real reason "save to PDF" is difficult to implement is because PDF wants visual fidelity; that comes at the price of specifying where exactly text should be placed, all the way from how paragraphs are flowed to how kerning of the letter is to be handled. Most applications do not care about these details. Most developers hardly have any interest in understanding line-breaking algorithms or interpreting font files to produce the right offsets and glyphs (think ligatures). These things are, rightfully, way beyond the business domain of typical applications and beyond the knowledge of typical developers.

And specifically, enabling the application of reinforcement tree searching agents into domains with blackbox environments. This paper is not only about increased convergence performance, it is about enabling agents in real world scenarios where the definition of environment is not feasible. Maybe of arbitrary complexity. I do not believe in AGI yet, but that's one of the bigger steps in the right direction, one would assume.

Thanks ChanningAllen for the great work with indiehackers. This kind of content is my favourite to read :)
I've read that book! I specifically logged in to say this. I liked the book!

As someone who wrote 6 unpublished novels, I'm envious of you that you got to publish that book (as in a story with a science touch)!

I specifically remember the scene where the protagonist is looking for bodies on the hill and he identifies the dead bodies acc to the plants that grew. It positively surprised me (that some ppl ala detectives actually are capable of that level of thinking) and gave me the creeps every time I go to the forest :p.

My books for rejected from every publisher and agent I sent it to and it is a duology about a "modern" dictatorship.

Part 1 is a mystery genre
Part 2 is a satire.

Sadly, I live in India and as per an Editor "Love and historical fiction sells in India and yours ain't that"

I've now given up.
I disagree. The church is not comparable to the media. We need innovative ways to equitably pay for our economy of attention. Ideally a way that would create a market incentive for producing local news that people read. I think the revenue sharing tax on Google/Facebook is pretty fair and clear.
Love this idea, hope the maps could be interactive. Attaching related resources would be great.
Phones are pretty consistent, but I think the biggest piece of the puzzle is that different languages don't care about all the differences. A phone exists in IPA if a language cares about the difference.

For example, if you pronounce "sju sjösjuka sjömän" with [ʃ] instead of [ɧ], I'll understand you just fine, but I'll instantly know that you aren't a native Swedish speaker. (Or, you are, and you're speaking a Swedish dialect that has replaced [ɧ] with [ʃ], because of course that's also a thing)

But if you mis-pronounce "skön" (nice) as [ʃøːn] instead of [ɧøːn], you're getting awfully close to [ɕøːn], which is how you pronounce "kön" in Swedish, which means gender. So as a Swedish speaker, the phoneme has changed, I no longer know if you're saying "skön" or "kön", or maybe "schön" in German? Swedish "cares" about this difference. But you, as an English speaker, might not be able to hear the difference.

And if there was a hypothetical language that had even further subdivisions of these sounds, speakers of that language would be upset that neither you nor me could tell the difference between two sounds that speakers of that language care about.

So the mapping of phones to phonemes is highly language (and dialect) dependent, and you should think about it in terms of continuous ranges or tolerances, instead of a discrete 1:n mapping.

Death by a Thousand Files (2018)
Yes, native speakers don’t thinks about grammatical gender of words, it’s just coming up naturally. The worrying trend however, is the politicization of language, based on a Saphir-Whorf-like hypothesis (and I would say on Newspeak as well) which lead to the horror that is called écriture inclusive. The Académie condamned this new orthography but it’s still wildly in use in administrative documents.

Are 5G Tyres a New Frontier in Autonomous Driving?
I've learned the most about life from "character building experiences". They are usually unpleasant. They could be as simple as somone telling you not to be stupid, or as complicated as finding lessons out the hard way.

The experiences give you the resolve or clues or whatever to avoid bad choices, or appreciate good ones. Or help others understand (if they're receptive).

Not a huge fan of honey, but I'm happy to extract back any stupid money that went into marketing rather than the product. I saved ~$200 directly over a few months and got $100 voucher waiting.

What do you mean? Why would Tim Cook choose to correct the President when it's election season? If Trump loses, it's bad for Apple to be making Trump look bad. If someone else wins, it's not going to be because Apple corrected him. Correcting the President is a lose-lose situation here, so it's best for Apple's CEO to let Trump have this one.
TBH, for documentation outside of docstrings and READMEs WYSIWYG editors (usually google docs) are the most popular form of documentation for engineers. I've seen this happen naturally at a bunch of corps unless someone made a coherent documentation policy and enforced it.

What percent of the time does “using the honey add on” result in selecting a different vendor? That is, if you read a blog post and get linked to an Amazon page, does honey not try to capture a commission there? What if you open the add on to compare prices but still end up purchasing from Amazon?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I don’t use honey so don’t know the mechanics of how it works.
Luckily I don't have.to use it anymore. It's 2+ years, but my memory wants to tell me that I hated it, because Confluence worked differently than JIRA.

We are using Gitlab now. It's much more limited than JIRA, but for what it does much more coder friendly.

On the topic of the text box, gitlab saves the content if I start typing, get distracted, go somewhere else and come back later. That's handy. Unfortunately there is some inconsistency that it doesn't work everwhere, was it so that in Wiki pages it didn't work?
Google AdWords campaign is good way to gauge market demand. Key is to identify granular high intent keywords in your market and setup your campaign to only target those keywords. If you are able to capture a decent amount of exact keyword search impression you can work backwards to get an idea of overall traffic/demand for your product. Keep in mind if you run a short campaign you will have to take into consideration seasonality - you can likely extrapolate this info by analyzing monthly search volume in AdWords keyword tool.

The other important factor is validating keyword intent. You need identify some action that indicates the likelihood of a user paying for your service. If you can measure that and combine this data with search volume, you will be in a good position to assess your products feasibility.
