It solved usability for group chat, being much better than IRC. Other messengers solved user status, message formatting, attachments but without groups, and for personal use. Slack simply brought these features to companies. It also created consistent clients for multiple platforms, something not yet common.

I was in mIRC for years before, and my company had our own channel on freenode, as did some other tangential companies and OSS projects, but we couldn’t get some less technical people to use those and they didn’t feel confident in privacy on IRC.

Slack solved all that: pretty, private group chat anyone can use.
> If you treat function as a system that produces an output given an input - does it matter if it is a graph or a probability distribution?

Because that's wrong. For example, take the Dirac delta function (point mass). You can only integrate it, not evaluate it.

GCR was saying that it's OK to use the same notation for both kinds of function. Mathematicians use separate notations, which is ugly and awkward. Engineers and physicists conflate these objects in their terminology, which is misleading. The right answer is to use the same notation but explain there's a difference.
> The tainted water source is located in a sublevel which originates from the second floor of the dungeon. The entrance appears as an opening in the wall, and there are several candles nearby. Inside, there is more of the yellow-colored water. Once all enemies within the sublevel are defeated, the water changes back to normal, indicating the completion of this quest.
macOS has Screen Sharing.app that works wonderfully across 8000 miles when screen sharing Mac to Mac.

Mac to Windows is easy with RDP.

But sharing a screen, Linux to Mac or vice versa... I wish you all the best. It's wild to me too.
My company switched because --

Slack had a mobile client that was exactly as good as the desktop client. That client showed image and document previews.

This means executives, who never have computers but always have phones, could be in chats. Before slack they always called or emailed.
I have an LG ultrawide with native res 3840x1600. Text is very blurry at that resolution though, so I use SwitchRes X to turn it down to the highest HiDPI resolution and it looks great.

I agree that it shouldn't be this way though, I'd have preferred to set the native res and be done with.
Looks like the opposition is mostly nimbyism dressed up as concerns for people’s welfare. Can anyone local give some more context on the plan?

That’s probably how the new M2 Mac Pro is going to work.
I can't parse what the tweet is trying to say.
Author here, if anyone's interested I'd be glad if you'd give it a try. Some preemptive answers:

> How is music selected?

Randomly from the first two pages or so of the top lists. They're scraped very gently daily, so if you listen to everything you'll get yesterday's tops, etc.

> Why no recommendation algorithm?

Piggybacking off work hosting, I only have like 2gb of storage. Preventing manipulation seems hard, and I know nothing about recommendation algorithms.

> It'll take forever to find new music listening to whole songs.

I'd like 30s samples (maybe a few seconds from different parts of the song) too, but this was easy to implement. It's just supposed to be better than manually clicking through the player on the front page. Basically you'd put it on (like the real radio) while you do other things.

That said, I typically find one or two amazing albums a month, and probably a handful of decent albums a week. After disabling a few genres locally, songs I dislike enough to skip only come on rarely.

> Is this ethical?

It's designed so you never listen to a song more than once and subsequent plays must be done through the Bandcamp site. And I think most artists would like more exposure.

> Texas isn't a country (yet)

The locations provided by Bandcamp seem to be free text, including some nonsense.

Thank you!

The demo is a part of the testing regime for my canvas library. I set the default to "don't memoize" because it's the quickest way to see how intense/computationally expensive the filter gets using different parameters. For most scenarios the output should be memoized (to stop unresponsive websites, device damage, etc)

My ultimate goal would be to get the filter working more efficiently on dynamic input eg a video media stream. So far only the simplest settings (2 colours with dither) are watchable: https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/OJOaOZz
For me, The Princess Bride and the animated Disney Sword in the Stone (and a bit later, The Hobbit) shaped my early understanding of Europe and gave me a life-long love of Europe and European history. I even migrated here from the US in my 30s and, although I have yet to find any dragons, I love the old castles, historical centers, and other reminders of history all around - just enough to keep me connected with the fantasy books and films I loved as a kid.
Yeah, this model might require a little bit of tuning...

Also it is kinda myopic but immensely beneficial for local homeowners (with fix residential tax) to encourage more commercial zones thus enjoy increasing general revenues in turns into more general local government services.

I should caution that this general assumption of NIMBY plus more commercial zones by local homeowners is deeply flawed notion since it is ultimately Sacramento (capitol of California) that decides HOW the revenue flows from its general fund back into county/local/metro areas.

This Golden State state/local revenue flow is the exception when compared to most rest of the nation where most people naturally assume that county tax will flow back directly into the county general fund.

So it goes right back to Sacramento politicians who ultimately have to decide which county/metro/town gets richer and poorer. This is the result of Prop 13.

Let's be honest IRC is pretty bad experience.

And clearly there was a place for textual instant communication inside teams and between them. Now just provide easy enough and simple enough UI and setup and you have something to offer.
Completely wrong. The configuration I described was replicated on different servers and they scale linearly, obviously. It was saturating the NICs and therefore would have been good enough for Netflix at the time.

It's strange that you assumed otherwise.

Nitpick: you’re talking about contemporary art, not modern art. Contemporary art is like contemporary music or anything we currently live in: some things may be good, other not, and we don’t know yet what will be remembered as “good art” or “good music” in 50 or 200 years. But without these experimentations art can’t evolve. People stopped doing paintings like Michelangelo did not because they weren’t beautiful, but because they wanted to experiment with something else, to exprime their ideas in different ways.

Comparing old art and contemporary art is irrelevant for this reason. You’re comparing what we remember from one era to what’s currently being experimented.

It would be very reductive to describe art as “something that’s beautiful”. A more general definition would be “a creation that makes you react”. You may be in awe or caught with disgust; in both cases the artwork creates a reaction.

Cattelan’s art is built on provocation. Whether you like it or not, this is some kind of art.

I read that part of the review as saying complex societies have 'bucked the trend' by not being -as- prone to collapse; but with a big caveat that it looks like complex societies may operate on longer time scales, so the collapse might be staved off for longer. It's an open question about what 'long enough' would look like though, one that's probably beyond the author's scope.

It's interesting that libraries and executables always have been considered different things by the mainstream operating systems.

In Oberon systems object files are executable files. Every object file can have subcommands, like the git command has init, add, commit etc. but it also contains the library functions (like libgit has) in that same object file. In Oberon all those concepts are the same thing.

Thanks for the deeplink, I should spend some time digging in.

Though as far a pre-existing complexity in modern engines goes: engine performance has regressed (in absolute end-user terms), and engine conplexity is also a barrier to entry for competing/new engines. So this isn't exactly "good".

The operative word you've used is "euthanize" which is definitively different than "suicide" or even "assisted suicide". You're conflating the method of ending life with the person doing the ending. OP is talking about suicide and methods in which an individual may do it, you're talking about euthanasia trying to draw comparisons between a person deciding and committing suicide and you deciding to euthanize your dog. They are not the same.
Knowing such implementation exists, is open source, and since they don't state what they're using... you may just be right

Google served as a well-placed catalyst, due to their broad interests. I don’t doubt that it would have taken longer to happen had they not been involved (though what “involved” means is fiddly, given that being deliberately not-involved would act as a significant retarding force, given the popularity of their browser), but I do believe that it would still have happened eventually.

(The word catalyst isn’t quite right because Google took part in the reaction, but it’s the closest word to what I want that I can immediately think of.)

Put an item (e.g. a potion) on your belt. Then drop another item (e.g. a stack of coins) on the ground, then walk away a bit. Click on the coins on the ground, then the instant before it gets picked up, click on the potion.
If you do it correctly, dropping the potion on the ground will drop a duplicate stack of coins instead.

Tip: an easier way to know if you've duplicated the coins is that when you pick up the potion, the bottom of your screen should say you've picked up coins.

So, real question, why does the tax code need to be -that- simple? Like, we've got computers and stuff to do the math these days? It sounds like an easy way to say that one is for 'a simple, common sense solution' while papering over the very real harm it's going to do to at-risk and impoverished communities.

To contribute, why should those communities that a flat tax harms be forced to bear that weight of simplification?

It looks like you'd be ignoring the reviewer's second point: that the other factor in societal collapse is when those portions of society that bear undue weight no longer can bear additional burdens.
I'm agog, who even thinks up this kind of plan?

> trying to collect and compare precise numbers that show how they have become more efficient at a task that is in essence not really quantifiable

For me this is particularly maddening as I run into it frequently. Managers/bureaucrats want to make decisions based on 'metrics', primarily because it gives them cover if it happens to be the wrong decision. But, many many issues where decisions are required are more subjective than objective. Meaning there really aren't any metrics that can reliably 'measure' them. Instead of just acknowledging this plain and simple fact, they just create more metrics and/or define the criteria with even more detail. It just makes more work but adds no further insight because ultimately, the issue is subjective and no volume of measurements will help. Think about coming up with a formula about how 'good' art is by measuring how many colors it has, how many curves, right angles, etc. It just doesn't work that way and but they keep trying.
I don't deny it may be possible, but I'd be interested in knowing:

- What amount of natural resources (lithium for batteries, neodymium for wind turbines, ...) would be required, where would it come from, how would we transport it using renewable energy, ...

- What's the EROI for each renewable energy source? Would it still be profitable if there are any unexpected maintenance costs or externalities?

- Your link mentions "unsustainable energy consumption" as one of the issues, does that mean the transition will involve increased energy poverty?

No, not all art has to be paintings. But I do believe that all art is rooted in an aesthetics.

This work (Michael Heizer's) is a lot more beautiful and interesting than typical modern art (such as Cattelan's Comedian). I would even go so far as to call it an anachronism: it has all of the sincerity and none of the cynicism.

My original comment was about modern art in general. The more I look at Michael's work, the less I think my previous take applies to it. I think it's an exception to the rule, however.

Having had my mind changed when visiting some massive and site-specific art, my recommendation to those who say from photos that they don’t like it: withhold judgement until you’ve been there.
