As an end user of Rust, I think the borrow checker seems slow because it's one of the last phases to run during vscode's real-time feedback. More than once I've been in the midst of a long refactoring session, and finally fix what I think is the very last syntax problem. But then the borrow checker finally gets to run, and then I learn about a whole new set of problems.
Maybe on the acquiring side, but on the issuing side in the US, definitely not. Most interchange flows to the issuing bank. Issuing banks fund lucrative reward programs with those fees. American consumers love credit card points.

I think we're more likely to see a new payment method disrupt credit cards than to have interchange fees go to zero.
Oh wow. I pay $140/year and can't get customer support when they mess up? I guess I'll be canceling.

Considering that in 2000 the idea that a girl without intellectual disabilities could be autistic was rather radical, I guess that "increase" may not necessarily describe the actual growth of measured thing.
I didn't feel very confident in recognizing many of them either. Sometimes the context helped though (was there food in the scene?), or the reaction to the gesture.
Give it a couple years, you'll learn to hate it. I have dozens of channels and countless group chats with 1-5 people. I was added to those channels when the channel members needed my two cents about something, but now I'm still in these channels, months later. Do I really want to be the guy purging all his Slack channels?

Just wait until you're trying to look up a really, really important message, but you can't figure out what word (or synonym thereof) to search for that will give you the results you need. Better hope you didn't leave that channel in an effort to clean up your channels.

It sounds like your organization already has a solution, which is a combination of GH issues and Jira. Slack is fine as a supplement to more structured methods of communication, but as the main communication method, it's a disaster.

Maybe Slack is better than the "unnamed but awful FAANG tool," but by your own admission, the bar is on the floor. We can do better.

00 would be "increment A", 01 "decrement A". I would guess these weren't supported because of how that register is connected to the ALU?

I find them really interesting because they are a whole other world, the "road not taken". They are very different from Unix/POSIX/Linux/*BSD/macOS/etc, even moreso than Windows is. Windows is not a Unix, but it has borrowed a lot of ideas from Unix–and is arguably growing more Unix-like as time goes by, borrowing more and more ideas from Unix-land–Windows is a lot closer to Unix than most mainframe operating systems are–even MS-DOS is a lot closer to Unix than most mainframe operating systems (indeed, if you read the source code and design docs for MS-DOS 2, they repeatedly mention the influence upon it of Microsoft's Unix, Xenix.)

Consider some ideas which exist in z/OS but not in Unix or Windows:

- record-oriented file system: the filesystem is aware of the record-boundaries of files, whether they contain fixed length or variable length records, etc – and enforces them

- indexed files: key-value type files are built in to the filesystem, not some add-on library

- the catalog: a database mapping file paths (dataset names) to the volumes they are stored on: so you can move a file to another disk volume (or even to tape) without changing its filesystem path. You can kind of approximate this using mount points, symbolic links, etc – but it is a lot messier

- partitioned data sets (PDS/PDSE): like ZIP/TAR files, but again, built-in to the filesystem

- block-oriented terminals: you send/receive data to terminals as a screenful at a time, not a character at a time

- DDnames: your program inherits (the moral equivalent of) file descriptors, but instead of just having numbers, they have names (instead of fd 0, you have a DD called "SYSIN")

You can argue about whether the above features are sensible – the designers of Unix were well-aware of them, but decided they were examples of unnecessary complexity – but sensible or not, they are interesting.
I really doubt that's why. Court proceedings are a matter of public record. You can just buy magazines full of names and mugshots of people who gave been arrested. I want recordings to keep power hungry judges in check.
https://destroycovidgame.com/ - a quarantine friendly cooperative board game I developed with a friend of mine

The idea was to make a board game you can play with your friends during the quarantine period even if you are not in the same place. Unfortunately it only works with 4 players and because it is an "escape room" like game you can only play it once. We developed an app for it in Flutter. It was the most fun project I have ever worked on, too bad nobody wanted to buy it :)
We've been doing almost all of our team meetings (ranging from 5-8 people) over Slack for the past number of years. They're both faster and more productive than the video chat meetings we used to have, and leave a written record. A huge benefit over a spoken meeting is that multiple people can be 'talking' at once (often in threads) without interrupting each other.

I'm also not sure why you consider the record useless from a historical perspective. It's not structured documentation, to be sure, but it's at least a useful as email in that respect. (More-so because it's generally much easier to search.)

As a cost savings measure my employer recently moved our entire organization from Slack to Microsoft Teams. I used to assume both products were similar, but I have much more appreciation for Slack as a product now.

Managing notifications for monitors/alarms is much more painful in Teams. You can’t organize channels how you wish, they always have to be part of a parent team. The performance of Microsoft Teams seems much more laggy when opening or searching for conversations. Built-in Slack features like Slackbot reminders are nonexistent in Teams. I am interested to see how our development organization adapts to this transition.

It includes running Rails and also Sidekiq, Postgres, Redis, Action Cable and ties in esbuild and Tailwind too. It's all set up to use Hotwire as well. It's managed by Docker Compose. The post also includes a ~1h hour ad-free YouTube video. The example app is open source at https://github.com/nickjj/docker-rails-example and it's optimized for both development and production. No strings attached. The example app has been maintained and deployed a bunch over the years.

The big issue I had with ClamAV is that the entire virus definitions database has to be kept in memory which is significant on VMs with only 1 or 2GB of memory. Maybe there's away to limit the definitions to only Linux malware since IIRC the majority of the ClamAV database are for Windows viruses/malware.
This would be more complete if they had also done some benchmarking of the two methods. It might not produce any speedup at all given the complexities of recent processors.

Why? Animals have faces too.
Over reliance and security holes.

Two issues that have been pit falls on windows. The user puts too much trust in said AV system, not understanding its limits and capabilities, subsequently stopping doing his own due diligence in the vast depths of the net.

Also, historically AV programs were used to breach systems. They usually enjoy a high level of access, but the team behind these programs isn't magically bigger than any other piece of software. As such a target for attackers, who study the AV software to circumvent it and as a result, may stumble one ways to use it as an attack vector.

Same, and OMG is this true. Slack may be less than ideal but it is so much better than Teams.

But its not organizational memory, its really for basically ephemeral comms. Yes, you can dig back for stuff but its not great for that, and finding things is horrible.

How do you imagine actors act out scenes that involve shooting each other with guns if they can't put their finger on the trigger, point guns at each other, or use guns loaded with blanks?

Baldwin seems like he's personally kind of an asshole, but I find it pretty weird that a bunch of gun hobbyists think they understand how movie productions work. Like, this isn't you and your buddies at the gun range. There are paid professionals whose responsibility it is to keep things safe on set. To the extent that Baldwin being an asshole matters, it's if he was making life difficult for the armorer somehow when the cameras weren't rolling, not the way he acted out the scene where the gun went off.
A lot of the complaints in the article have to do with the near-synchronous nature of the communication. It undermines focus and prevents deep thought.

What happens in a company that has normalized this kind of always-availability when an employee decides to regularly not respond within 5 minutes?
I quit Facebook and Twitter in 2012 out of a combination of bad feelings about where social media was heading as an industry and about its effects on me (i.e., whether I was wasting too much time, oversharing personal info, etc). I quit Costco around the same time because I despise their receipt-checking policy. Quit Dropbox around 2017 in a shift to iCloud. Quit (at least mostly quit) using Google as a search engine around 2018 to support Duck Duck Go and data privacy principles; around the same time I tried switching from gmail to protonmail, but left my gmail account intact and still use it pretty frequently (not out of love for the service, just insufficient motivation to notify old contacts and update old subscriptions.) I quit Microsoft Office last year because I don't like the subscription payment model (now happily using LibreOffice).

For many of the services, I never sought out a real replacement. Instead of named social media, I use pseudonymous accounts on reddit and HN. I stay in contact with family/friends/colleagues using mail and chat. Instead of Costco I go to the local supermarket.

I would love to quit streaming services (Netflix, Disney+) and Amazon Prime but my wife/kids still use them regularly. Also sometimes fantasize about making the leap from the Apple ecosystem to Linux, but am still waiting for some decisive nudge to push me over the edge. Inertia, the sense of captivity and anxiety about learning curves and possible regrets are real factors, but in my experience for most products it is easy to learn the basics and I have never felt any real regret at leaving services I didn't enjoy or feel were compatible with my principles/priorities.
Yes, that's probably my biggest complaint about the library. The docs are there but hard to navigate. Sometimes crucial tips are buried in an aside on one of the many pages that talk about the same topic. It's difficult to get started and it's also difficult to find the ultimate explanation of what's going on.
> I join a new company and am using slack "professionally" for the first time

I think this is the difference. Slack is great when you need information from other people, it's terrible when people need information from you. You, like most new hires, need a lot and have little to give. Once that balance starts to shift you'll start to feel the pain points.
I do wish for a Go REPL. I use tests for this - write exploratory code in tests, and then move it to the actual package when I'm happy with it, which isn't nearly as satisfying or fast. But again, the gains of coding in Go outweigh the costs (for me, I'm aware other people don't find the same).
In my experience at a company where Slack is the primary communication too:

- it's great for casual chats

- it means we have the institutional memory of a goldfish

This is largely a product of how we use it and it's a less than organized company generally.

Intentionally mutating virus is old as the hills. Infecting generations of mink and ferrets to weaken it enough so it becomes effective vaccine, for example:

A new video from Project Veritas surfaced online and quickly gained traction, garnering over 7 million views on Twitter in the first 10 hours of its upload. The video shows a Pfizer executive, Jordon Trishton Walker, claiming that his company is exploring a way to “mutate” the virus causing COVID-19 through “Directed Evolution.”

TL:DR; Project Veritas means it is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit...

The problem is DuckDuckGo is very USA and English focused. I've switched to it myself long ago, but it's very frustrating when I search for things and it brings up American shops higher than anything else. I'm not going to 5,000km to go shopping. You move out of English it's even worse. For general tech searching it's on par with Google. But if you are looking for things locally I often find the need to switch back to Google.
I tried three separate times to get into it and had to walk away in disgust every time. The netcode is and has always been terrible. The last time, the time when I knew it would be the LAST last time, was when my teammates fast traveled to me and caused all the super mutants I had just cleared out to respawn. Then the super mutants started phasing through doors I had closed to stay hidden. I couldn't think of any reason to ever play again. It was almost as if the game achieved sentience and hated me. Or perhaps it loved me and wanted me to spend my time better.

Opposite effect.

Tax the land high enough, and you'd be losing money to just sit on it hoping it appreciates in value. You'd need to build something (like housing) to make a positive return, so you're incentivized to do so.

If you tax houses higher, people are directly incentivized to not build any, and instead just hold vacant land.

I made a retirement simulator: https://thetortoise.io

I was frustrated by the simplicity black-box style of other tools, so I built this as a hobby and then decided to publish it.

I think The Tortoise gives users the most control over the simulation, though it may have a bit of a steep learning curve. It also has the ability to quickly compare different scenarios, and is able to condense the results into some fairly easy to digest charts.
No, Adam Savage has said something to this effect every time he talks about how his shop is organized and why it shifts around over time. The gist of it is that while most of his tools and common materials are first order retrievable, but theres a whole world of stuff in the shop that can't, so he thinks about where it should be stored and puts it there or there are times when a particular tool or set of tools is always used with some other thing in the shop, so it lives next to that other thing rather than on some rack of the same tools. What is most likely happening is that its all been in videos of which no readily searchable transcript exists, and he is not always very concise about explaining his core practices, so finding the exact quote is non-trivial.
I don't use it on any OS. There was a dark age of plentiful zero-days when it made sense to use antivirus (I suppose), but these days as a technical user you're pretty safe if you run an adblocker and don't download random binaries.
Those samples are very recognizable, are they not?

Also, from my time working in the music industry I know for a fact that kick drums and other sounds are taken from songs and used in other songs without permission or attribution all the time and it is done in a manner that is completely kosher because no artists think their artistry extends to someone trying to make the crack of a snare snappier in a mix. The lawyers think otherwise of course. Recognizable bass line? I mean, I guess pay up, but it’s not like the bass player who wrote that bass line in the session will see a dime. He never even got a publishing credit and why would he?

I thought it was Microsoft that basically invented microtransactions for their Xbox Live Marketplace, and encouraged developers to utilize the model. But you can go all the way back to the 1980's with Atari's GameLine to see the very first "download a game for $1" type of digital transactions.

As to who coined the term DLC, could have been Bethesda, I don't know that one.
I tried it earlier today, after seeing it mentioned in another thread. I gave it some queries where Google had recently frustrated me by returning nothing but affiliate marketing listicles.

It returned the same results, but with some of the listicles helpfully sorted into a "listicles" section. The rest of the results were also listicles.

It's entirely possible the content I'm looking for doesn't exist, drowned in a sea of SEO spam, but then I have little motivation to pay for a search engine to find it.

On that note, does anyone have a good site and/or strategy for "I would like to buy a [product] with [two features that are uncommonly found together]" searches? Those seem to be the hardest ones to get good results for, because of the number of "BEST [product] OF 2023" lists that aren't filtered to what I actually asked for.

Then that makes a lot of sense why you might not like types. I'd say give Type Driven Development a try, where you layout the data flows for a program through its types, then you fill in the actual code which becomes very easy. I wrote about this in another comment before (in Rust, but you can even do it in Python with its type hinting):

I'm going to straw man a bit, but it feels like lisp enthusiasts are desperate to find stories of commercial software being written in lisp.

I'm sure there's many examples I haven't heard of that are legitimate (using lisp for almost all of a specific domain at scale and having a mature codebase, tho that's arguable) but I've yet to see any example that has meat on it's bones, besides the company that did crash bandicoot on the PS1.

And even that one I'm unsure of as I feel it's been mythologized with how often it's pointed to.

I don't blame them though, I root for lisp very much. I'd rather see this articles like this posted and picked apart for validity vs not hearing about them at all.
ChatGPT is merely a statistical aggregate of what people says. So when you ask a question you get the common misconceptions and platitudes about the topic.

Systems like wikipedia and stackoverflow have (imperfect) social mechanisms to filter out useless or false information. ChatGPT have none of that. No miracle.
So far, most classic AV systems are either so bad you're better off with nothing or they are not advanced enough to do much (and thus they're not really helping with anything). It's not that there is no need, it's just that there is no realistic scenario where what's available and what it needs to solve match up.
I had a similar idea. Continuously feed new messages into a GPT like model and have a slack bot that you can just ask questions to.

Most people don't want to read documentation. They'd rather just message someone their exact question and get an answer. Instead of bugging a person have an AI fill in.
