Yeah, totally. If it's private then it's up to whoever owns it. I think my experience is colored by using Slack for a group that's very much intended to be a public record: https://futureofcoding.org/community

You don't even need to upgrade. Just go to your workspace settings and look for the export/import tab. I personally put the downloaded zip file through https://github.com/akkartik/slack-archive . But there are

I think automatic infinite retention and public access to public data should be a basic human right. And we should be making lots of copies of all that rapidly-created data as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital

There are also a variety of solutions for converting the exports in different ways. Here's mine: https://github.com/akkartik/slack-archive

At first glance this looks excellent! I'm going to keep playing with it.

I can totally believe random microblogging takes are stupid, but that doesn't seem worth arguing about. Microblogging is just capturing initial reactions. > "That could make it trivial for an attacker" (emphasis mine) It

I don't know what else you've read, but in the context of OP in particular it's not clear to me what seems dismissive about the "security" arguments.
343.
by akkartik 2y ago
The way I read these arguments is: the lack of security adds to the case against this product. The reviewers aren't saying there's a self-evident solution, just that there are self-evident problems. How did this get through review

Generalizing from the representation of functions to the absence of invariants makes your point crystal clear, thanks.

Ok, I think we're past the misunderstanding now. I don't understand why this makes it hard to compile Bel. Application code won't check the first two elements of the list to determine if a term is a function. Instead it will

by akkartik 2y ago
In Bel you have to eval (fn (x) (+ x 1)) before you can call it. Do you agree? Following your terms in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40409467 , in this respect Bel feels like a modern lisp. In other words, this quoted

I don't know where the disconnect is, but I'll stop here. The statement you just quoted disagrees with what you said on two occasions before: > It's fine to represent functions as lists, but having functions actually be

> (lambda () t) is a list. This is not right, and it's a very basic thing to get wrong. I don't think you understand what you're criticizing. Even replacing the Bel name, this is not right: > (fn () t) is a list You _do

I think one reason to add characters and streams is so you can implement read and print, the R and the P in a Lisp REPL. The original Lisp assumes s-expressions are given, but provides no mechanism for creating them out of characters read f

This is important enough that I think https://www.paulgraham.com/bel.html (1) should be the main link we're discussing. For one, https://sep.turbifycdn.com/ty/cdn/paulgraham/bellanguage.t

Thanks for sharing your thought process on calling it brutalist.

by akkartik 3y ago
To me this seems punk and glitch, but not brutalist. Arguably HN is already pretty brutalist. As a second exemplar, I consider https://brutaldon.org pretty brutalist. It seems plausible that you can't be brutalist and be in

I'm very sympathetic to this idea. The challenge becomes the UX and accessibility of browsing this one single giant data model. I like global variables as well. One awesome thing they enable is custom debug UIs: http://akkar
