Needs to prefix the tab's title with a blinking "(1)" or "*" when the chat pops up. And have that paired with a loud chat notification sound. Edit: also should mention that this is both sad and awesome.

I enjoy LinkedIn for keeping up with old colleagues. But -- and I hate to be too sour on people who are earnestly excited about sharing their career progress -- everyone seems to announce every minor career move on LinkedIn in posts that re

What you describe as the "Finnish way" seems like it would translate better to a distributed company. I've been working remotely for over a year now, and I've found that those serendipitous conversations by the coffee-ma

Thanks, that's helpful. If I was just starting out, would it be better then to start with a broader programming language theory text, rather than going straight for type theory?

What is a good an introductory text (or other resource) for learning? What's the relationship between programming language theory and type theory? Is type theory a special topic, or would it be considered a core topic in programming la

I'm not understanding what you mean. The latter portion of your comment seems to disagree with the former.

Just to be clear, you're saying "uname -s == Linux" => "/proc exists" right? Not trying to be pedantic; just having a TIL moment.

Aha! This makes sense. So basically, on native, there's lessened ability to leverage browser extension ecosystems to block ads and tracker scripts?

I do not think this is a dark pattern. I don't see any exploitation or misrepresentation. I think we should be careful to distinguish between exploitation / malicious intent vs. airing of grievances of about UI/UX feature com

Can you explain why this is a dark pattern? How does slack benefit from you using the native app vs. the web app?

Not OP, but I've been using a Durgod Taurus K320 TKL for two years as my primary work keyboard with no problems. I like it quite a bit.

There are some cashew-based queso dips that are pretty darn tasty. Although, it's a bit easier for vegan to compete in that context since "real" queso dips are the whey stuff not cheese, per se. Edit: to be clear, I'm co

I'm somewhat familiar with McCabe style complexity measures[1], but I'm curious if there's a metric that measures a code base's ease with which it can be refactored or extended. Has anyone heard of such a thing? [1]: ht

Any dimensionality reduction method (DL-based or otherwise) can be viewed as a form of compression. But, the end goal in data dimensionality reduction is usually quite different than with data compression. Either way, this is much different
