Slack is not a good example for this headline. Loads of chat applications are much better than Slack. Slack sucks. Slack is chosen by business people, who heard about it from their business friends and ignore input from their tech team.

Examples:

Discord - but terrible data policy as well, but at least works fluently without long load times and they managed to use webrtc in 2020, which Slack still sucjs at and gives you BS about using Firefox and limits It for the free account. Ridiculous.

Zulip Chat - Much better chat functionality and conversation model. Can be self hosted.

Anything with a proper Markdown parser, not something that sucks as much as whatever Slack is using. Oh well, but it could be worse looks at Atlassian Confluence.

Anything that does not heat up 4 Cores at 100% at startup for an inapproprIate amount of time.

I would add that you don't need to understand the implementation details to understand privacy of citizens, tracking of users, and accountability.

A few days ago our PM (Netherlands) did the first 'covid press conference' in a few weeks. I watched it on YouTube with live comments turned on, and it was off-putting.

To play devil's advocate: What is the difference between an Android phone and an iPhone phone, and if there is, what does it matter to a customer? Both can make phone calls, both can display web pages, both can run apps. There's one fairly irrelevant difference because it's an historical accident so it will probably be eliminated soon: one platform owner already controls the platform completely, and the other not yet.

I can see why they would refuse to do this. The effort of tracking which masks were donated vs which to charge for, would be significant.

Who’s going to track which patient was treated by staff wearing donated masks, and which were not?

And if medical staff were working with multiple patients while wearing the same mask, would they have to split the discount for a $1 mask up between patients?
I like Adam Cadre's review of Brave New World because he broadly agrees with you: The book is by a grouchy reactionary trying to paint the great big social movements of the 1920s as being utterly horrible, and who never realizes that a good number of the things he's describing are desirable.

http://adamcadre.ac/calendar/14/14432.html

It's of some interest that both Nineteen Eighty-Four (the novel uses the spelled-out version) and Brave New World are fairly transparent takes on the USSR, just at different periods: Brave New World was the socially revolutionary USSR of the 1920s, whereas Nineteen Eighty-Four was the USSR of the 1930s and 1940s, once Stalin had consolidated power and begun the Terror.

(Yes, Brave New World is also about the utter horrors of consumerism. Books can be about more than one thing, especially if the author has a lot to say and a whole novel's worth of didactic authorial mouthpieces to use to to beat it into your skull.)

Could be. But the choice of apps according to me range from, less trustworthy to totally not-trustworthy and so I'm out of luck there as well. Nowadays, I just enable cellular services for few minutes, recharge that damn thing, before UPI transactions.
You’re correct, but I want to emphasize a point from your comment: ElasticSearch only earns a lot of money because they have a very good monetization strategy for their managed clusters.

Open sourcing your product absolutely requires that you have a proper monetization strategy in mind, it should not be an afterthought. I’ve seen too many startups fail because they were not able to capitalize on the momentum they have gotten with their opensource version; projects such as rethinkdb come to mind.

Once you have a solid plan, by all means, release an open source version. But remember, once that cat is out of the bag, it’s hard to put it back in.

TextDistance, for comparing distance between sequences by many algorithms
I noticed this lately, I think when getting a new OS installed and making the dictionary UK English instead of Canadian English, thinking there would be little difference. The main issues have been with words that may end in an 'ism', e.g. criticize, nationalize, like those mentioned in the post. I've always spelt (purposely ignoring Canadian version, 'spelled' which I grew up with) these words with the 'ize' ending but the OS' UK English dictionary is now always flagging these as wrong, preferring the 'ise'.
Incorrect. Whether the language as a logic is capable of expressing undecidable statements, is orthogonal to whether type checking is decidable. Type checking is analogous to checking proof validity in logics. Commonly used proof systems for first-order or higher-orders logics admit decidable proof validity, and already many first-order theories allow expressing undecidable statements. ZFC is a rather obvious example. Likewise intensional type theory is highly expressive as a logic and admits decidable proof validity.

Decidability of type checking is instead related to how explicit surface syntax is. In intensional type theory, the usage of equality proofs is marked explicitly, which is sufficient to retain decidable type checking. In contrast, in extensional type theory, the usage of equality proofs is left implicit, which causes type checking to be undecidable.
Any "improved SQL" could take some inspiration from .net's Linq. Some conveniences in Linq compared to SQL:

- From clause before the select clause. Makes it possible to use code completion in the select clause.

- Instead of the having clause, you just have a new where-clause after a group-by, which operates on the groupings.

- let-clauses where you can define expression which can then be re-used in the following clauses.

- composability, so you can have arbitrary many select/group/where/join/let clauses in any order following the initial from-clause.

"Seise" and "televise" don't look right to this UKian either. To a large extent, I think this is just a reflection of our education system being very right/wrong focussed, and these rules get put in place just to ensure there is a right and a wrong. We don't get on well with maybes.

This article is really about possible social consequences of tech like Facebook and Twitter, not about knowing all the technical implementation details. A "tech expert" speaking in front of congress would be expected to answer to how the tech affects governance and civic matters.

Nobody know the consequences in full, and how effective mass-communication might affect society. It's problematic when the leaders and overseers seem unfamiliar or uncertain with the overall operation of these tools, and even abuse them for egotistical benefits, instead of acting as elected servants of the people.

I decided that I would use ‘ize’ endings about 23 years ago, and I was in good company as many newspapers did so too. Oxford Spelling, as it is known (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling) has fallen out of favour in domestic use, but is still found in international use, as my own observation.

On my own choice, I felt that there were not enough ‘Z’s in everyday writing, and that it was too good a letter to ignore.

It is bloody annoying that device dictionaries do not support this. I have occasionally switched to US English but this is not quite right. Knowing the correct suffix is a bit of a minefield.

I've been using Zelle for 5+ years and I've never had to click any email. Other than initially logging into your bank account and setting up which email/phone number you want to use, I haven't had to do anything.

The HomePod has a relatively powerful CPU for what is doing, I'd assume there's lots of headroom to do local intent recognition on device, but Apple likes to get new training data constantly too, so they haven't really tried.
Not that I know: if you needed a "staging" for each of the feature branches, the complexity and cost grew, but problems remained (i.e. merging trunk and a branch back and forth).

For the last 15 years I've been at teams using a "staging", it was simply a single production-like environment (well, my first project was exactly like production on slightly less beefy hardware with sanitized production DB import nightly) that gets the "trunk" (or "main") deployed to automatically (on my current team, it can be used to run non-production code as part of the deployment process which you bail out of).

I am pretty sure there is no one true definition of staging, so it's a spectrum rather than an exact way to do things.
Christianity is so very sticky; trying to clean it off just results in more of it getting gunked around. At this point, I've structured my thoughts around religions so that my default assumption is that all religious beliefs are delusions. My reasoning comes in the form of three barriers.

First, historicity. When we pull apart ancient holy texts, we find a mix of myths, legends, distorted tales, and eventually the foundation of history. Any religious belief has to first demonstrate that it's consistent with our archeological finds, current resources, and competing histories.

Second, speaking of competing histories, is comparative religion, AKA comparative values and beliefs. Religions generally have contemporary competitors. They may claim different versions of historical events or have contradictory metaphysics.

Third, physics and the fallacy of nature. In short, observable events are natural and described by physics, and the burden of proof is on religions to show that supernatural events happen. As science has marched on, miracles have shrunk in occurrence and priestly rituals have decreased in power.

So, for example, how might born-again Christianity fare when considered this way? On the first barrier, there probably was somebody like Jesus or John the Baptist or Simon the Zealot at roughly the given times, stirring up the trouble and getting killed for it. Also, we know that the Gospels were secondhand accounts at best due to when they were written, and we know that they were deliberately crafted to fulfill Jewish prophecies. However, Second Temple Judaism doesn't have strong historicity for its founding figures of Abraham and Moses, which hollows out the promises that the figure of Jesus makes.

On the second barrier, there are a pile of sun-god and resurrected-demigod cults around the Mediterranean, some dating back to the Egyptian New Kingdom, which would have made the general mythological ideas over a millennium old at the time of Jesus. Indeed, in the Gospel of John, Jesus performs a resurrected-demigod ritual. I want to say "nothing is new under the sun-god", or maybe "Jesus is too much in the son-god"?

And on the third barrier, there's no reason to accept any of the miraculous claims for as long as there are natural physical mechanisms of action, and explanations which are simpler than the implications of the Problem of Evil. We know that modern speaking in tongues is a sort of hypnosis, that modern faith healing is quackery and scams, that modern reincarnations are a combination of childish pranks and gullible adults, that modern water to wine is a magic trick dating back to Egypt, and that modern baptism feels tingly in your brain because of the mammalian cold-water diving reflex. There's no evidence to suggest that these were any different in ancient times, and plenty of evidence to suggest that humans were broadly the same then as now, and that their culture was extremely similar to ours.

So, on reflection, what actually supports Christian beliefs, and why should we accept it as evidence? It turns out not much at all!
Mining costs money but returns bitcoin which can be sold for money. Miners can't spend more money than they would get by selling the bitcoin and receiving transaction fees.

In theory the energy intensity of bitcoin should go down over time because the block reward is shrinking. Of course transaction fees could rise but processing transactions is different to wasting energy to mint a currency out of thin air. Paying transaction fees is like paying your taxi driver. It's expensive but it's absolutely necessary to get a ride.

A couple of reasons for this spring to mind immediately. Firstly, governments don't want people using the most effective masks because there's barely enough of them to supply hospitals. Secondly, the push for masking has absolutely nothing to do with effectiveness. For instance, people keep pointing to things like the 1918 flu epidemic as proof we've always known masks worked, but as far as I can tell those masks were made of gauze and therefore likely as bad as or worse than the worst mask in the study. And there was an article going around pointing to this study of the effect of reducing the dose of flu virus people were exposed to as proof masks worked better than expected: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4342672/ Notice how, at the part of the curve where reducing the amount of virus had the most effect, it took a tenfold reduction or so to reduce the number of people showing symptoms or testing positive by about 30%? On its face that seems kind of bad for the idea of using random non-medical face coverings with much worse filteration, but that's not how it's been spun.

Also, I think a lot of this has to do with what people feel will work based on it having a good narrative attached. For example, there's this fairly widespread idea that valved masks are not OK and worse than random cotton face coverings which I think has even been enshrined as an actual legal requirement in a few places despite clearly not matching up with the test results here. Presumably this is because it feels like deliberately letting your own breath out past the filter via valves is intentionally exposing others, even though anyone who wears an ordinary non-fitted face mask can easily notice that exhalation blows out around the edge of the mask anyway - often with really annoying results for glasses wearers. A bunch of British news organisations even accused our government of telling people to wear "useless" maasks and endangering the public for showing a valved mask in their advice: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/coronavirus-f...
In Germany, unusually even for Europe, this is solved for civil cases by assigning a fixed fee per case that lawyers and the court itself must adhere to - they can't go below, they can't go above - depending on the claim value, usually around 5-10% of the claim itself in total for all three parties.

This is still nasty for the less advantaged individuals when faced with a claim that could lead to, say, a $10k maximum fee, but for smaller businesses any reasonable claim amount is still affordable and the "drain the other party's legal funds" tactic is practically outlawed.
