Last I checked there’s a bunch of Baltic states on Russia's borders that are a nato members, sounds like they’re being invaded next if the concern you site is real. Which it’s not, (but if it is then that counteracts a bunch of your other points.)

And nuclear capable bases? Haha As if Russia, China, the USA would have a problem launching ICBMs targeting anywhere. Not a real concern.

Ukraine is just a territorial land grab by Putin pining for an empire.
These are all obvious but this looks very useful as a checklist if you are writing a static analysis tool, which I think is the intended purpose.
Because they marketed it as a non-addictive opioid because it was extended release and encouraged doctors always to prescribe the maximum amount despite internal testing showing the extended release was bogus and it was still addictive?
This is the biggest answer. IRC is in that most terrible of spots where there are too many users with too many different clients to ever universally adopt new features anymore, while being old enough that many desirable new features have been implemented by its non-OSS competitors.

It is not too dissimilar to email, or the whole IPv4/IPv6 debacle.
And by then, all competition will have been eliminated. So it goes.
i'll reply in more detail later but for the moment i just want to clarify that i'm not za3k, although i've been collaborating with him; his priorities for the zorchpad are a bit different from my priorities for the zorzpad

you said:

i wasn't able to parse this sentence. could you unpack it a bit?

yes, please! even if our priorities aren't exactly aligned i can surely learn a lot from you

If you would limit to debris up to 250 grams, and not forgetting they arrive at a speed of at least 10 to 15 km/s, you would need a magnetic field of 2 to 4 Tesla. That is more than inside an MRI machine. Not feasible....
It was also pitched as abuse resistant (something about it being hard to grind up the pills), which they also knew to be untrue.

> The Sacklers were absolved of financial liability, not criminal

I don't understand how this changes anything; why would it make any more sense for the subset of the victims who settled to absolve the Sacklers of financial liability towards to the victims who didn't settle? The type of liability doesn't change the fact that victims not part of the settlement shouldn't be restricted by the terms of it; being able to push their own case separately is the entire reason why people are allowed to opt out of class action settlements.
I did the same during COVID for my mom and dad, though I didn't tell them what I'd installed wasn't Windows. I tried to mimic the desktop as closely as possible to what they were used to. Then I set up an ssh tunnel for VNC so I could help remotely if they had a meltdown. They hadn't mentioned anything about the change after a couple weeks, which made me nervous, so I asked what was going on. My dad said they'd been using the computer normally every day, and that he'd honestly forgotten about me reconfiguring it.
Bmg, the Ruby implementation of relational algebra, has been around for 10 years. We're making and effort to create comprehensive documentation, and as part of that effort we put together a primer on relational algebra. It aims to be a bit less theory-heavy and more hands-on than the typical introductory material you find online (which tends to be university course materials). Relational algebra isn't just interesting background theory, but was created for programmers and has very tangible benefits.

Any questions, suggestions, comments or criticisms would be appreciated!
Gotcha - let's meet in the middle.

As I was writing orig comment I knew euro spends way more on trains; maybe Europeans think their stuff darn well be better. So point taken.

I think we're pretty much on the same page as you write.
Tail or not, I find recursion to be too unsettling for my non-math orientated brain to deal with on the daily. It's like looking at oneself between facing mirrors. I find the loop (in for or while form) to be more comfortable to reason about. I believe I'm not alone in this situation.
That's the authoritarian view - people don't know what's good for them, so their behavior needs to be controlled by the state as informed by a small group of elites who themselves are somehow free from the influence of those biological human desires and impulses... which is why drug testing as a condition of employment was never implemented for political candidates, heads of bureaucratic government agencies, or corporate CEOs.
Money doesn’t really get “split”, it flows, and the where it goes each time it is spent is what determines who makes how much. You’re right that some people are able to accumulate, but that’s not a default, and the money usually doesn’t stay put for long.

Without having a way to tell the compiler to fail if it can't TCO (f# finally got this with a function attribute in 8.0), teaching tail calls first is only going to lead to problems because screwing them up to pile up on the stack is likely when you don't know what you're doing.
I will pay you $5,000 today (metaphorically speaking) if you can give me a today solution on IRC that gives me every feature I care about with slack and works as well as slack for people who have never used IRC.

Caution: That means interoperating with Okta/SAML, and seamless client-side history with administrator-set retention periods (deleted on server and all clients), and the ability to move something from a DM to a private channel to a public channel and vice versa and the hundreds of features that Slack has built because they've had millions and millions of dollars that open source doesn't have.

Businesses have different needs than IRC (or Matrix) provides. It'd be amazing if someone could build a foundation that allowed common open source competition over slack but we can see all the problems with business-focused OSS these days.
Last time I looked into things, the fines they were going to pay is a tiny slap on the wrist compared to the obscene money they made. They can put the billions in an account and use just some of the interest for the fines. The biggest hit to them so far was having their name removed from some museums. Let that sink in. They've lost some slight prestige with other wealthy folks.
>Search: half-remember some conversation from months/years ago? It's right there, in the app.
Persistent history: onboarding a new employee? All of the company's past communication is there to browse and search (see above point).

This is where Slack really squeezes companies. Our (barely) medium sized org has a seven figure Slack bill, and they only support 1 year of history. Going beyond that becomes absurdly expensive. It would be absolutely pricless for me to be able to go back and read older convos. But it's somehow impossible to do without spending millions of dollars. Absolutely insane.
Didn’t they always enforce history limits on free groups? Is this something new?

> Although a different formulation of oxycodone, manufactured by Merck & Co., was removed from the market in 1990 because of a high risk of addiction, members of the Sackler family downplayed the dangers of OxyContin, deceiving doctors into thinking that it was weaker than morphine and convincing them to prescribe the drug liberally
Always good to teach the next generation that most companies aren't altruistic.
Can’t we all just get back on IRC and Usenet?
I sorely miss both. Blogs too, but .plan files will do fine.
By the 'simple example', I assume you mean https://tech.popdata.org/images/cps1970_before_fix_dwarf_gcc...?

If so, the widest, reddest, and highest-magnitude function I see there is __int__malloc. Right?

Yet, reading on, it seems that has nothing to do with anything, and the actual culprit is Record::hasVariable, which is somewhere in the middle of the graph, and not any redder or less red, or wider or less wide, than many other functions.

So, looking at just the first graph, how am I supposed to immediately spot the culprit?
Seems reasonable? If you’re planning on staying free forever and are already gated to 90 days of history, why would you care if they delete 1+ year old content? From a privacy perspective, I’d even say it’s a positive update.
This provides a good overview of how Purdue accelerated opiate marketing: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-sackler-familys...

> A recent study, by a team of economists from the Wharton School, Notre Dame, and rand, reviewed overdose statistics in five states where Purdue opted, because of local regulations, to concentrate fewer resources in promoting its drug. The scholars found that, in those states, overdose rates—even from heroin and fentanyl—are markedly lower than in states where Purdue did the full marketing push. The study concludes that “the introduction and marketing of OxyContin explain a substantial share of overdose deaths over the last two decades.”
The Post Office’s culpability is manifest, but this is first and foremost a massive miscarriage of justice that discredits the British judiciary and its chumminess with fellow Establishment members.
No longer a Searchable Log of All Chat and Knowledge. So sad seeing Slack die.
Actually, I think my biggest issue with IRC is that at least in the past, it looked like it leaked my IP address to chats, which is a pretty big privacy issue (they can figure out what country/province/national subdivision I live in, and that makes me uncomfortable). While I'm sure Discord or Slack or Teams has my IP address at a company level, at least individuals in a Discord/whatever cannot by default get my IP address.
> why don't more companies just set up their own IRC server?

Why don't you grow your own food? Why don't you just write your own payment processor?

I used to think this way until I started a company with employees. My opinion on the matter changed almost instantaneously.

1. One does not simply set up their own "X". Setting up X takes time and you will also have to manage it, which also takes time (and is harder to anticipate when you are fully responsible for managing it).

2. As someone making decisions on this type of stuff (eg a founder, executive, head of IT, etc), maintaining something like X is a poor use of your time and not something you want to have to even think about. So you'll be paying for it anyway even when it's "free" by having an employee maintain it or sacrificing your own time on it.

3. You may trust yourself to be able to maintain it properly, but if you delegate it to an employee, the math changes. Now you have to hire someone you can trust to do a good job maintaining it and who is willing to do that kind of work. And you need to consider things like "what if that person quits/retires/gets sick" and "what if they get hacked or go rogue" and "what do I do when they go on vacation"?

4. Businesses have a lot more requirements of their communications software than just communications. If an employee loses a device or gets hacked you need to easily revoke access to everything, so you probably want to use SSO/an identity provider to make that easy. If you get sued you need to have a way to do legal discovery.

5. If you run into a bug or make a mistake, and introduce downtime or lose chat history, you just lost a lot of productivity or valuable info - operating things like this reliably is expensive, whereas having a support contract really reduces tail risk/provides peace of mind.

So if your option is to pay someone $10k for something like chat that Just Works (99.99% at least), and you are actually trying to build/operate a business and not just play around, something like $10k for chat can be an amazing deal compared to the true costs of doing it yourself. You pay someone some money and barely think/worry about it anymore, done.
In the past, you could only see the last 10,000 messages. Currently you can only see the last 90 days of messages.
> "strawman" you see

You have stated: «Faking thinking isn't “Thinking”. Art is supposed to have some thought behind it; therefore, “art” created by faking thinking isn't “Art”. Should be utterly fucking obvious».

And nobody said differently, so you have attacked a strawman.

> And all the LLM token-regurgitatinmg BS we've seen so far, and which everyone is talking about here ... And what you get out of artificial "intelligence" is either oversimplified or, if it's supposed to be "art", usually just plain kitsch

But the post you replied to did not speak about LLMs. Nor it spoke about current generative engines.

You replied to a «if algorithms strict or loose could one day produce Art, and Thought, and Judgement, of Superior quality» - which has nothing to do with LLMs.

You are not understanding the posts. Make an effort. You are strongly proving the social need to obtain at some point intelligence from somewhere.

The posts you replied to in this branch never stated that current technologies are intelligent. Those posts stated that if one day we will implement synthetic intelligence, it will not to be «to fold laundry and wash dishes», and let people have more time «to paint and write poetry» (original post): it will be because we need more intelligence spread in society. You are proving it...
Because now you can't pay to see the history, it'll be gone. Previously you could've started paying any time to access the history.

Well, nothing stops you from using IRC. It still exists. People just also want to use the internet for other, different things now, like business communication.
> whether most would think a mechanic is more or less easily manipulated into unnecessary vehicle repairs.

That's different. This is closer to a mechanic using a part from Company X in the repairs of their customer's car, because a rep told them it was more durable.
This is why you shouldn't use Slack as anything more than a beefed up chat client, and especially not for things like non-ephemeral help/information.
Random e-reader tip: stick some sort of pop-socket thing on the back of the reader so that it "grips your hand" while reading. Then you don't have to "hold" the book/kindle, you just place/maneuver it.

See "love handle" for something similar / in the ballpark (phone elastic strap), as I don't remember the actual brand that I ended up buying.

Everybody thinks of using them for their phones, but I've rarely seen them suggested/used for e-readers where I think they make a ton on sense!

...back on topic: $95 for an e-ink android thingy? Have I found the proper device for junky home assistant dashboards / control panels? Still it'd be great to figure out mounting, magnetic charging, or direct-wire power, as if you were thinking of a detachable replacement for alarm-system pads, managing device battery can be a real hassle for long-term (years) usage.
Peaks don't matter, they just correspond to the depth of the call stack.

Probably the simplest way to use the flame graph is work from the bottom of the flamegraph and walk upwards until you find something interesting you optimize. Ideally you find something wide to optimize that makes sense. (The widest thing here is "main" which is obviously probably not the interesting thing to optimize, so you would work upwards from there.) The basic idea is that things that are wide in the flamegraph are expensive and potential things to optimize.

Where I work, we have tools that can produce diffed flamegraphs which can be really useful in figuring out why one trace uses so much more/less CPU than another.
Show HN: RunwayHorse – ditch the messy travel planning spreadsheet for free
Hey HN,

I travel a bunch and was tired of the same doc, sheet, and note to keep track of my plans. I wanted 1) something with a bit more structure and 2) a quick and easy way to grab things like flight times, check-in info, and links on the go. I also wanted to plan my trip like I always do – no affiliated partners or whatever.

RunwayHorse is a completely free tool. It's meant to replace whatever Google doc or sheet you used before to plan your travel (it's got sharing too). There's a spot for your flights, hotels, and day-by-day itineraries. Me and a few friends have been using it for our last few trips and it's been awesome so far.

Hope it makes travel planning a bit less tedious. Appreciate your feedback.

In my experience, people who use amphetamines (and cocaine) regularly start making very bad decisions, and heavy use leads to amphetamine psychosis. A very public example of this was the behavior of the SBF / FTX / Alameda operation, where by several accounts regular amphetamine use was the norm. That doesn't mean it should be illegal, but I'd avoid associating with anyone I knew had an amphetamine or cocaine dependency.

But ok. So there is the issue of compilers carrying binary-only payloads, which are only passed on when compiling the compiler. Really paranoid people worry about this, so it fits in the set of theoretical and demonstrated issues. But I don't have references for you off the top of my head; it's been acknowledged for a very long time.

I'm ok with heterogenenaety and calling it good enough.

This paper is documenting reality that is known to folks who practice the craft so in that sense it is not research as I would normally think of it. But it is useful documentation and so worth having written down.
How is it "enshittify" when people aren't paying for the product? I feel like this was entirely predictable, there's no way that Slack (now Salesforce) would continue to pay for free storage for none paying customers in all eternity.
The vendor who sells many different things seems to be at least a bit less culpable than the provider who sells just their thing while lying about certain effects of it. Yes, we can examine how we got into this situation where doctors take drug advice from the people who make the drugs but the people who lied for profit deserve the lion's share of the criticism.
You can't search for old content on the free plan older than 90 days anyway.
I've been a musician since I was a kid, so I've always had alternative ways of socializing by being in bands and doing various things that are not intellectual at all.
Slack previously stored history beyond 90d but didn't allow it to be accessed until the workspace was upgraded to a paid subscription. (For example, Slack recently ran a promotion where workspaces could get a free one-month trial; for the duration of that trial, users could view the full history of the workspace.)
Is that Open Window Theory, or Open Door theory?
I have a relatively old (10+ years) HP Scanner (which is also a printer) for free that someone wanted to get rid of. It already has some online services integrated into it, which luckily don't work anymore as they've shut down the servers.

On linux I can use `hpscan` from hplip which works very well, someone also wrote a server that allows you to use the 'scan to PC' functionality of most HP scanners. Printing also works flawlessly with CUPS.

But on Windows... if I open the 'Scan' program and select the HP Scanner it redirects me to the Microsoft Store to download the 'HP Smart' program. And if you want to scan from there you'll need an HP Account (yes, an online account to use your own scanner).
it's certainly their privilege to destroy the free hosting people don't want to pay money for.

if they are really genuinely deleting that data and not deleting it just for the account holder, then i would guess slack is not interested in the value of that data for ai.

imagine if reddit tossed their archive cause people wouldn't pay. it's not even the reason they exist anymore. they're data sponges.
How many times will this same post be shared, each time with an incorrect/sensationalized title?

Free teams already couldn't view history beyond 90 days, and that isn't changing.

Slack originally stored the history forever, but will now delete it after 1 year (not 90d as in the title).

This is actually a good development, because the next logical step from a large corporation's perspective would be to use this trove of user data for training LLMs or selling it to a third party (like Reddit, Stack Overflow etc. have done), and they can't do that now.
