Opposite here. After trying a few, I have no interest in buying cordless mice and will actively go out of my way to make sure any mouse I buy is corded. Even if things have gotten better in the last few years since I've tried them with regards to lag and such, there's still the annoying battery situation.

Sometimes there's just no replacing a direct connection.

All that said, I agree on the price on these. I'd love to have an open-firmware mouse, but $130 is too steep for a productivity mouse and there's not enough buttons for a gaming mouse (I like using the MMO-style ones which basically have a 10-key pad under your thumb).
If this is your takeaway you’re following toxic people. I have learned a lot and changed my mind on several issues just from Twitter discourse.
For Mumble in particular, the devs had their heads in the clouds for so long that it is no surprise that it is no longer relevant.

If you had a mic that had issues in any way (buzzing, volume, balance), "The Wizard" and "AGC" were supposed to fix it for you. Do not fret little one, for you do not need nor want to manually fiddle with settings, The Wizard will make everything right [1]!

The pivotal feature that was the reason so many people I know stopped using it is the ability to change the volume of an individual person [2]. It has been a requested feature since the beginning of time, yet it took until 2016 to implement in dev branch and didn't actually make it into a release version until 2020! Too little, too late.

The free discord tier is better than the free slack tier. That’s honestly why 90% of ppl use discord over slack.

Also paid discord is 100x cheaper than paid slack, for non-corporate entities. You can get top tier discord for like $100/m while slack price goes up with each user. Not to mention that discord allows users to easily assist in upgrading your server while slack doesn’t have that functionality at all.
Yes, this is very similar to "reduce" from the functional programming world, in fact it is equivalent to the "fold" pattern. The main difference is that fold is slightly more flexible since your accumulator may have a different type than your stream elements.

In Rusty pseudocode, reduce requires a function with two inputs and an output of the same type:

fn reduce<T>(f: Fn(T, T) -> T)

Whereas fold may use one type for the accumulator and another type for the elements, but requires an initial accumulator value to be given explicitly:

fn fold<A, T>(init: A, f: Fn(A, T) -> A)

The Aggregate SmartStreams discussed in the blog follow this fold pattern, applied to a distributed persistent log as the stream and using WebAssembly modules as the functions.

It's a trick of language called insinuation.
Because MBAs will always hold two items in tension: profit and user desire.

If these two items are out of whack, an MBA will always favor profit and that too in incredibly creative, often marketing-based ways that rethink the business model. They will convince the user of what they need the user to believe to make the largest possible profit.

ICs often think of profit and user needs/desire but they usually hunt for a place where it overlaps and if it doesn't, they'll hunt again. Profit is demanded for value/convenience to the customer but it is often a 1:1 relationship.
That was mentioned in the article.

> "leave me alone, I want to introduce more buffer overflows and integer overflows in peace". Truth is, C programmers are not as infallible as many of them believe

One of the two possibly, but certainly not both. Or, "leave me alone, I just want to get my program done, and have it do the right thing, with appropriate performance, quick to build, good modularity, few dependencies, and not having to rewrite it next year. Security is important but does not override all of these other things."

Many find these practical properties and the fun of forming something with their bare hands that works more desirable than burning out while waiting for a build to complete or doing the required maintenance when upgrading dependencies. It seems that you don't?
Excellent point, you totally convinced me that it's better to let everyone fend for themselves than to organize as civilized people and carry some of the weakest up to where they're less of a burden to society.

Having worked at a DS consultancy (as a dev) I suspect (from an outsiders view) its because very few DS’s are building something or really reaching a meaningful end point with a project? Might just be from the projects my old firm took on but that was the impression I got. Churn in the DS team was through the roof as well, so that indicates unhappiness (with the company at least)
Yeah, it would be, if done to pursue ends that the law has deemed criminal. This isn't the gotcha you might think it is, because no one is going to bat an eye at your attempt to boil the nuance of a law out in an effort to expose some underlying paradox that only matters on a technical level. I'm not saying that the law will be wise, or efficacious, or even really pertinent, just that we already have ways of reconciling what you may perceive as being an intractable problem. Like, laws against theft don't mean that any action where I take something of yours without express permission is theft, like a genuine intent with the context that it was needed to safely handle an immediate hazard to life or limb.

That example is admittedly weak, but do you see where I'm going with that?

This market is manned and a serious challenge. The trial is Arizona is in an extremely quiet, predictable suburb as well as being small scale; unmanned but not as serious a challenge.

Each of these is different but neither's existence by itself proves unmanned in challenging locations is right around the corner. It's kind of an exercise in Baysian statistic, how much more likely this makes one think unmanned taxis in serious location is depends on what one thinks the initial probability is.
I suspect most people in the "Slack is a just a pretty IRC," are discounting the non-text-messaging features. Beyond both the items already mentioned and the ease of adoption, the major benefit to slack is the integration ecosystem.

SlackOps is a really big thing. Making slack the glue across variety of operational systems to coordinate the activity of a team and allowing that team to communicate about it, provides a ton of value. And importantly, allowing this to happen organically with non-IT staff creating their own workflows (in the way that people invent alls sorts of min-apps in spreadsheets) is pretty powerful.
So the sound dampening works well too?
Great question! onion vhosts (user@foobar.onion addresses) don't need that, as long as your client can resolve onion addresses (Gajim/Conversations have good tor integration, otherwise Tor's AutomapHostsOnResolve will do the trick systemwide but in that case your client may complain that the domain doesn't support TLS or with a wrong certificate).

"Advanced" connection settings is required when the vhost you are connecting to doesn't match the hostname you need to reach on the network. For example, if you're reaching your server over a VPN/SSH/IPSEC tunnel.

Another example is if you wish to login as user@foobar.com by reaching foobar.onion. This is useful if you want to be part of the broader Jabber federation, in which not every host supports federation over onion addresses (i'd be curious to make stats about that) but it still gives you the security guarantees of Tor when reaching your server (though not for server-to-server connections).

Onion name discovery for automatically upgrading to onion routing when Tor is available client-side is not yet specified within the XMPP ecosystem. Onion discovery in the HTTP ecosystem is usually done via Onion-Location HTTP header (HTTPS only), in the email ecosystem they use _onion-mx DNS SRV records: see https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser-spec.git/tree/prop... and https://github.com/ehloonion/onionmx/blob/master/SRV.md respectively

Implementing something similar XMPP side would be easy. Prosody already has a community mod_onions, but currently only supports a static map of hosts to their onion addresses. It could use some love: https://modules.prosody.im/mod_onions.html

Another problem we face from a UX perspective for onion services is that currently XMPP server implementations are very strict about which node/resource messages are intended for, and to my knowledge none support aliasing systems as we have in the email world. In this specific example application of aliases, there's currently no way (that i know of) to have the same account across .org/.onion domains and having servers to know it's the same account in a federated manner, eg. to prevent you from adding the same person twice to your contact list.

All in all there's interesting challenges and none of them is really hard so if you'd like to get involved or just let us know about your ideas and expectations, feel free to drop by xmpp:privacy@joinjabber.org?join

We've found little overlap between customers in terms of LMS. Most use spreadsheets or build something in house. I imagine this will change in the coming year or two.

BTW, if anyone wants to build a universal LMS or a Plaid for LMS I think it's the right moment.

We've had investors ask why Pipe doesn't just do this and we respond with, because it's a just a different beast. We currently have a fairly broad funnel but we'll be specializing more during this next growth stage.

Retaining companies as they scale will be an issue, particularly at first. Once the software and marketplace are robust, we'll be able to go much further with our customers.

It should be possible to overtake a self driving car and carefully slow down in front of it until a full stop. Normally they detect that and stop too.

That might be true for some, but didn't happen for me. I've mentally checked out even though I have another 20-30 years of my career left.
It's give and take. Everyone knowing your problems can make you a target for persecution, but it also makes it more difficult for you to get involved in things that your community disapproves of (again, sometimes this is bad, but sometimes it's good).

The loss of meatspace community can mean falling into a counterculture that is, ironically, at once met with suspicion by the mainstream, but also better at helping members manage difficulties and better at enforcing certain nominally-embraced but practically-ignored moral standards. For example, late-century LGBT communities (who encouraged unconditional love for one's neighbors better, them or your local ministry?).
So I was curious and tried to figure out how to, client side, enforce TLS 1.2+ for npm. It is surprisingly not straightforward to me. I also had an annoying time due to 'npm' being the tool name and the repo name.

It seems you have to set an environment variable,

NODE_OPTIONS=--tls-max-v1.2

But that's for node in general and I'm not sure if it even works for npm. I was expecting this to be something I could do in a package.json

I've done this for Rust for a long time by just setting a flag in `project/.cargo/config.toml`

[http]
ssl-version.min = "tlsv1.2"

(side note - I've had 0 issues with tlsv1.3 in cargo with crates.io)

I also wasn't able to figure out how to do this for `pip`. I honestly expected this to be super straightforward, but I guess I was sort of spoiled by how easy it was with cargo.
Definitely lemme know when you are going to do that! (peter@scylladb.com here).

I think which fits your community is really dependent on your use case.

Discord has great tools around moderation and membership tiers; it's designed for users you don't trust.

Slack is much more for a community where everyone knows each other (or at least trusts each other a bit, like you'd trust a coworker).
You have a lot of trust in people. There are plenty of politicians with financial crime convictions and organised crime ties.
How did Nixon get Archibald Cox fired? He fired everyone in the line of succession for the Attorney General until he found someone who would do what he asked. It is not inconceivable that the same thing could have happened with the FDA.

With the history that Trump had for firing people who did follow unreasonable orders (e.g. Rod Rosenstein), it becomes entirely plausible that he would fire any FDA head who did not support a vaccine, regardless of the science behind them. As things turned out, the studies did support the vaccine, but it was not unreasonable to draw a distinction between unbiased experts and experts under threat of firing.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I appreciate you didn't have to take the time to reply to a random stranger on the internet :)

Regarding side-effect-free - not sure anyone ever claimed that? I understand that the relative risk is very low when compared to the risks associated with the disease itself - even for those that might expect milder symptoms from covid. I think people (myself included) are just really really bad at assessing these kind of risk/reward equations - I don't think we have the right tools for it, and our assessments are polluted by our personal history/culture/biases (in every direction).

I can't agree with your assessment of overstating the danger - the full hospital wards and large death numbers at the height of the pandemic before vaccines are enough reasons for me to accept that the costs are high enough for the small risk/inconvenience I'd pay personally.

I also know personally people in public health and can vouch for the sincerity of their (very) educated advice. If anything they have been consistently critical of governments being too slow to accept their recommendations (due to political pressures). I'd feel foolish for thinking I would know better than they who have spent their entire career in this area. I know that's an appeal to authority which isn't always warranted - but I'm comfortable with landing on that side of the fence.
Actually, if the cost of hiring is less than insurance, maintenance and fuel, I'm all for it. Don't have to be sober, find parking. Don't know if that will happen in rural areas though

X-Ray is a killer feature. I was just telling my wife how much I wished other platforms had it. We stop shows ALL THE TIME to go look up actors and such. X-Ray makes that just a pause operation. I wonder if there's some patent that's preventing other providers from having the same feature.
The black community in America has known this forever. We've had to rely on these kinds of businesses, not just as sources of goods and services, but as literal community centers that help people out, sometimes for free. Thats still true, same for salons, corner grocery stores, churches etc. Growing up, these little pieces of community were amazing and still are. While people are of course a little different, I still see these things in the community where I live and they still have the same compassionate professionals most of the time. They dont just sell things. They also give.
