Countless tools have promised to highlight "what's worth my attention". None of them have worked for me or my team. What's different on Struct?

A few questions I jotted down while watching the video on Struct's landing page:

1. the concept of channels seems to be important on Struct as channels are the starting point of threads/feeds. Could you clarify the concept of channels on Struct? Is it just a concept to group users? Can you also chat on channels?

2. Conceptually how do you handle the fact that only the threads on the realtime feed are visible to the user? Maybe there's a low-signal high-activity thread that takes space and hides the high-signal low-activity thread which results in users missing important information or reminders.

3. Tags are crucial for filtering threads, is there a way to "police" the tags? Using tags usually grow into a mess of similar-but-not-the-same collection of text. Think of JIRA tags.

4. How to handle threads created independently by different users but discussing the same topic?

5. Not a question, but I'd be interested in knowing more about private conversations between two parties. It's mentioned only briefly in the video.

Hopefully these questions don't come out as overly critical. The tool definitely has potential.
This schema relies on "third-party aggregators / crawlers / search services" for critical parts like comments and content discovery. They are going to be responsible for things like spam filtering, misinformation removal, and blocking accounts which violate TOS.

And those crawlers _have_ to be expensive - after all, you need to check every participating server to see comments. So instead of everyone running mastodon instance on $10/month machine, it's only going to be a few centralized services doing all the work.

They could just drop their opengraph tags if they don't want their content shared in this way. Of course, a simple link will be much less appealing to click on for most users.

This looks promising. Can you please re-work on the pricing presentation? Honestly, I'm not smart enough to do the math and worry if I might hit an explosion on discussion and pay the price for it. Give examples, present it in a tabular format, perhaps with examples. Please don't make me think.

Also, what's with minimum 6-character requirement for a Struct name? Anything from 4-characters should be fine, right -- there are no more international standards beyond 3-characters!

Edit: A small request, please make the App Icon solid like all the other macOS Apps.
To add to that: In several jurisdictions, the calendars of when shares can trade (T, with a closing price) and when shares can settle (T+2) is distinct (say, shares can trade on NYE, but not settle). So, one definitely needs to maintain (potentially) multiple calendars per jurisdiction. One calendar per counterparty was news to me, but fair enough.

The next complication then is that these calendars can change. In Hong Kong, we have typhoons quite occasionally between around August and October, and if the observatory declares a T8 or above, several businesses close, including the stock exchange. It then depends on the exact timing of the raising and lowering of the signal whether there is the usual trading, or half day, or no trading, which implies no closing price, thus an additional holiday for the trading calendar.

To treat holidays properly, one must then take into account the day it was declared for some purposes.
I suppose you meant Old English. As a lay reader I managed to struggle through most of Chaucer's (Middle English) work and enjoyed it.

The lack of a central authority over English in the United States, at least, is related to a couple things. First, English is not the official language of the country. No language is. It's just a happenstance of our history that our lingua franca is English.

Second, Americans, I think, would be really uncomfortable with the idea of a government entity controlling how people are supposed to speak and write. That lives too close to controlling what we say and think. Not that such an entity necessarily leads to 1984-style propaganda and thought-control, but we take First Amendment concerns very seriously here.

Lastly, if you attend a specific school, you are subscribing to the instruction of that curriculum and those teachers. To have all students everywhere subscribe to the same authority of what they should know and how they should think... that can be pretty scary for an American.

> I don’t think you could name ten pre-1940 films that most Americans have seen

Conversely, I don't think I know any Americans who haven't seen The Wizard of Oz (1939). And again with the sole exceptions of superficial idiom and vocabulary (and some really minor pronunciation changes that are as much theater affectation as they are language) there's absolutely no change at all from the stuff you hear from a 15 year old member of the High School class of 2027 (I live with one). Again, I really don't think that's normal historically.
That's named for a Revolutionary War general, whose name was Wooster, like 1920s British character Bertie Wooster. There were 169 Wooster families in London in the 1891 UK census. I kind of doubt they all descended from the US, so what this says to me is that some British person filling out a form heard the name "Worcester" and very sensibly wrote Wooster.

Worcester is a corruption of Wigraceaster which is a corruption of Weorgoran Ceaster, so rigidly sticking to an orthodox spelling is ridiculous and it should be reformed. Like Featherstonehaugh turned into Fanshaw.
If there is an update to the docs, that might mean there was an update to the tool you used. Why not learn the new features of your tool?

You can also pin your docs to a version just like your dependencies, no reason for online-only.

You can still google things as needed, I just don't see the problem with spending a few minutes familiarizing ourselves with the changelog.

Even if they do change every few weeks, we have diffs don't we?

I do agree a lot of docs and manuals are not production ready.
There have been PD trials with aDBS for the past 5-10 years iirc.

Yes. We had some test failures. Test setup was to create records for today, yesterday, last week and last year and make sure they are generated correctly. Well last year's date didn't match today's. Easy fix but it was hilarious.
Yes, you may be thinking of last year's wildfires where some politicians where blasting meta for blocking Canadian news during the fires.

Of course, this didn't mean they were repealing the law and they still expected Meta to pay whatever rate per link the media orgs wanted for the privilege.
If you think about it, RAG is a relatively primitive “first pass attention layer” that is binary and semi-heuristic based. I think it’s fairly safe to say that in the long term RAG will be integrated into the model architecture somehow, just a matter of when :)
Well that's why we do these high-paying tech jobs.
There's a lot of levels to the approach.

Just spending a few moments to consider whether queues should grow, block, or spill when adding them makes a big difference, along with choices in error handling. You can get a lot of things to gracefully degrade for free if that's a part of your decision-making process.
Interesting, I just posted a question to Reddit about this[1] but I have been testing and using KRdp myself for a while. I'm one of those users who (due to blah blah blah) must use Wayland, but also must have some remote desktop capability (to connext to my Linux GUI environment).

For this reason, I was stuck on Fedora GNOME for a long while, because only they had it.

KRdp[2][3] looks promising, even though (like GNOME) it requires a GUI session to exist first, before you can connect via RDP. But there are ways to deal with that if you really gotta have it.

But this support is not actually implemented in any app in KDE Plasma 6, is it? My understanding is that it is possible, but there is no built-in functionality to take advantage of it. More "you can build an RDP server now that will work on Wayland" than "there is an RDP server that has been released". (I think?)

Honestly, great move by Meta.

1. Regulators: We're going to require you do X on your product Y.

2. Facebook: That literally makes no sense. If you pass this law we will simply stop offering Y in your country.

3. Regulators: We're going to pass the law anyway.

4. Facebook: Does exactly as they warned.

5. Ultimately, the regulators and the citizens lose. Hopefully the citizens are vocal enough about it to make regulators understand just how braindead they are behaving.

Yeah, but you don't have to "no-life the right hobbies" to be satisfied in NYC because there's SO MUCH to do. You can just be a normal person who isn't hyper obsessed with one particular hobby.
How come they get to talk to the customer that way and not me lol

these are literally questions I've given to project managers to help create better requirements but ultimately as a dev you have to come up with "something" regardless and redo the work once the customer complains. Stupid GPTs cutting the line!
Part of the utility of antarctica is in its inaccessibility and restrictions on what you can do there. e.g. it's currently one of the best places to sample the earth's atmosphere because treaties bar things like lighting fires.
Regarding the distinguishing between recursive tail calls and other tail calls:

The conversion of tail calls to direct jumps seems to me a simpler conversion, where refactoring would be less likely to introduce errors. The conversion of recursive calls to iteration is different, I can see how the implicit conversion could lead to much more sensitive preconditions that refactoring could cause to not be satisfied.

My initial (and rather lazily considered) reaction to the potential for breakage could be wrong, I doubt it would be worth an exhaustive testing effort to validate. I find TCE to be a conversion that is worth the potential downsides in heavily functional paradigms, but I certainly sympathize with becoming more skeptical of implicit alterations to code as written.
SMP systems were widely in use in the 1990s, but you’re correct the dual core MIPS was 2003ish in emedded.
I don’t know if that’s just my OCD, but if they care about the looks so much, then it seems like the arrow right key, the screen and the knobs are not aligned or even at the same margin from the right edge…
Whenever I come across these Nevers and Always, I look for the exceptions.

I mostly agree with the sentiment. Slow, incremental changes, whether to code or even a website's style. Mostly. But sometimes you run across code so malign, so neglected, so undocumented, uncommented, twitchy, troublesome, inexplicable, that the risks of the Second System Effect are worth it.

Really, I think the crucial point comes when your system is a kind of obelisk. You tiptoe around it, make offerings, but you don't know how to appease its wrath. It's like the weather.

Then it is time.
Any plans on a web client?
Good point. It was the same with me. I climbed trees my entire childhood and never saw my father do it. I doubt my daughter will though as there isn't any forest nearby and in the 90s, kids spent all summer outdoors and that isn't even legal anymore (my parents didn't know where I was for hours at a time when I was as young as 5).
NYC is way better than Barcelona, sorry. Let me know when y'all can figure out how to make sidewalks that you can walk straight along to your destination, rather than having to go diagonally along a big asphalt parking lot at every single intersection.
Well, I appreciate your efforts to set the record straight --I was just parroting what I had read there, which is a bit lazy.
""These rules represent an opportunity for more efficient appliances that provide the same level of performance but have reduced operating expenses,” a Department of Energy official told Grist....""

It's good these appliances will be up to 40% more energy efficient and that washing machines will use 28% less water and supposedly perform to the same level as older equipment.

However I wonder if the DoE official's statement will actually hold up in practice. Sometimes the devil's in the detail. No doubt washing machines can be made more efficient yet achieve the same performance as present equipment on what could be deemed a nominal household washing load but I wonder how the performance will hold up on heavy loads.

By heavy loads I mean say washing well-soiled overalls and similar. I have enough difficulty now getting the dirt out of my overalls without taking a performance cut—a cut that may not manifest on a 'nominal' wash load. When washing overalls I often have to use an extra amount of heavy duty washing powder (containing lots of sodium percarbonate) and use a wash-then-soak-before-spin setting as well as an extra rinse cycle (to get rid of the remaining dirt and washing powder from the first rinse). Also, sometimes even now things have to be washed twice to get them clean.

In these circumstances I'd question how well a washing machine would perform with less water and with less energy going into the wash cycle.

Electric motors are already very efficient, so to achieve a reduction in power consumption less power will be supplied to the washing agitator, thus I'd need it to be demonstrated that the performance remains the same before I'd be convinced. If it's necessary to repeat the washing cycle and or use more washing powder then this defeats the purpose of such regulations.

We've seen such 'efficiencies' introduced before in the name of saving power. It's my understanding that the EC has limited domestic vacuum cleaners to 2,000 Watts to save power. I'm not in the EC but manufacturers who market to the EC have found it convenient to also market these 2,000 Watt machines where I am instead of the 2,200 and 2,400 Watt models they previously marketed here. The fact is these lower powered vacuum cleaners simply do not work as well as the earlier more powerful models.

Then why are saying they're measuring "unemployment" when they're actually measuring underemployment? Words mean things and they're choosing the wrong words specifically in order to mislead.

Also, tracking poverty is more meaningful than tracking underemployment. There are millions of stay at home parents in this country who would qualify as underemployed, but who aren't in poverty because their spouse or possibly other family member supports them.

Is it possible to integrate any of those while allowing seamless debugging? IE, step right from one into another? I've yet to see that happen.
Facebook already understands robots.txt rules for FacebookBot, and maybe Meta can use that as a signal to exclude such websites.

Of course, news companies would rather throw a fit and call big tech evil rather than trying to figure out how to provide news to users in the most efficient way possible.
I disagree that it is human nature. At least not generally speaking.

There are people who are innately competitive. And there are people who don't care.

I'd argue that a lot of people are apparently competitive because of social pressures. You'll have to discount the effects of modern society on people's minds before you could make a claim on what human nature actually is like.
that's a fascinating idea! frozen electrides! it's a lot freezier than methane (195 kelvin, a difference large enough to make a methane eutectic much less likely) to the point where you might even be able to freeze it with convenient and safe dry ice rather than liquid nitrogen. and, i don't know, maybe if dry ice by itself won't do the trick, maybe dry ice mixed with liquid ammonia will. trying to buy anhydrous ammonia around here gets you put on a list, though, so i'm gonna opt out of this one

there are a lot of solvated ionic eutectics with atmospheric-pressure water ice, despite the absence of metallic bonding
I'm saying that if you're maintaining a code base for years, a single day's explanations won't do much of anything. It's a drop in the bucket.

It's not a bad thing, and it's certainly good to do, but it's not a solution to the problem.
What are some of the features you are looking for?

Just curious because Im working on a Quickbook replacement probably with a different focus but I'd still love to hear what you need.

You can go lower-tech than the OLED method and have a printed legend with a bank of lights to represent row or column selection.

In practice, every time I experiment with "big" control surfaces with a lot of buttons and macros, it doesn't end up being used. The apps where it comes up, I generally move towards a written script, and then I am just doing regular typing again. When you go large there's a penalty in that your arm is moving farther to access things. So, as with GUI vs CLI you end up moving faster with the stenographer's approach of rote sequences with intensive chording.

I think there is something underexplored in the idea of adding visible modality to the controls though. We can have more than caps lock, num lock, scroll lock. There should be a genuine "Unicode keyboard" that can emit the codepoints directly without the help of the OS it's talking to.
The German government has given providers until 2026 to reduce their exposure to high risk vendors (Huawei and ZTE) to less than 25% of equipment, with a complete ban in places like the capitol and near military bases.

Basically the same problem played out in the US as well, where smaller operators looking to offset massive hardware costs for 5G upgrades selected high risk vendors who came in well below cost to establish a spying foothold in our telecom networks. The FCC handed out almost $2 billion last year to help these networks rip and replace.
They have full control over these through OpenGraph Tags. It's a whole other thing if FB was scraping the content and summarising it and displaying it... but I don't believe they do that currently.

And naturally people will just copy paste the content of the report anyway.
a) I take out a credit card at a new bank, spend the balance, and never make a payment.

b) I bounced a check, don't remedy, and owe money to a furniture store.

c) I move a random amount of money each month to a separate account and make loan payments from there.

d) How far back does someone need to account for their spending in order to get a loan? People complain about mortgage applications, but this is a whole new level.

Access to credit gets more expensive without a 3rd party aggregator.
If Facebook is avoiding taxes via legal loopholes but aren't taking any kind of government subsidies, is it really as though tax payers are paying Newscorp? No tax dollars are being spent to cover anything, the money is just never being paid by Facebook to the government because the government created carve-outs that let Facebook to reduce their liability.

Caveat here, I'm neither a fan of Facebook or tax loop holes. In my opinion tax law should be exceedingly simple and easy to calculate. I don't want to defend Facebook here, but saying the public is paying for this feels like a slight of hand.
> Facebook then writes this off as a tax deduction

I'm not sure you know what a write off is. If Facebook is paying fees for licensing content then that is an expense, which is deducted from overall gross revenue in calculating profit, and businesses are taxed on the profit they make.

such as spectroscopes, c compilers, oscilloscopes, and mixed integer linear program solvers like gmpl? i feel like condemning those for starting their manuals with instructions for reading the manual is pretty bad even if we don't include geometry as a 'tool'

Didn't know who I was talking to, looked you up now, amazing ;)

Thanks a lot for the bug report. We actually used to implement the range-extension logic in Excel/Sheets but removed it during a cut-paste refactor due to the complexity (I'm sure you know...) and resolved to add it back when someone asked for it.

I actually found edge cases where Sheets and Excel don't do range extension logic the same way.

So we don't do the range extension for now, but the 4 not getting recomputed to 3 is definitely a bug, will fix!
You're not truly wealthy until you have boosters staged at your vacation homes.
I don’t think that proper leveling can really be broken down in this way. It is more of an ape brain reputation score within the group.

I think when managers are made to outline a concrete path to the next level, a gradual level inflation may occur at the company. This is because a manager is never going to say “I don’t know” when you ask them this, even if they don’t know, and then they are forced to advocate for you to promo after you satisfy whatever they told you.

If they don’t advocate for you at that point, they end up looking like a terrible manager to you and anyone else you tell your true story to (including their own manager).

If the level inflation is not identified and accounted for, this can lead to a company collapsing via inept leadership from bad internal promotions.
