We're very happy to help debug that sort of thing in the Zulip development community: https://zulip.com/development-community/ . Unfortunately, basically no modern team chat product provides satisfactory documentat

For those readers who are skeptical whether this curriculum is really in widespread use, it definitely still is. I have young kids and before listening to this podcast, my wife and I spent a bunch of time last Fall looking at schools for ou

Emailing every GitHub user may take a while, but it seems wrong that they didn't post it on https://githubstatus.com ; this is effectively an outage in their service -- customers should not need to google for their blog post

I wish there were some publicly available numbers to analyze here, but it seems likely that YC's late stage funds have lost a lot of money (on paper) doing late-stage investments at sky-high valuations over the years leading up to 2022

by tabbott 4y ago
I don't think that'd be accurate - YC is exiting the business of late-stage investing, and that's the main news. It sounds like they had 17 people who were working on that part of the company who they laid off as part of this

We've replaced most of Zulip's Python linters with Ruff, and it's hard to understate how big of a difference it makes for linters to be lightning fast. Ruff has essentially all the features of major Python linters (pyflakes,

I do think universities should work hard to communicate with their PhD applicants and students about their job prospects. Among my friends who did their PhD at MIT, which was often one of the top-3 schools for their field, most of them who

I think this article really misunderstands the structure of academia. The paper looks to have done a bunch of data collection, which is great; but the results could be predicted without collecting any data at all. Structurally, if the avera

Correction: The Zulip Python bindings can be used for any API endpoint. See https://zulip.com/api/rest . We'll fix https://pypi.org/project/zulip/ , which apparently doesn't link ther

My personal test for whether an open source company encourages self-hosting is whether any plans/pricing page advertises "Self hosting" in a parallel/equal way to how they advertise commercial offerings.

It's hard to know what codebases will last 20 years. But I think even if an open source software project becomes less relevant over time, hopefully the things one learns about software construction and building sustainable open source

On the search front, have you tried the PGroonga search backend? https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subsystems/full-text-... (It's only available when self-hosting at present.)

Zulip doesn't do video calls itself, but we have handy "Start a call" button and you can configure which video call provider that uses. See: https://zulip.com/help/start-a-call All of our supported provi

Thanks for the feedback! We're planning to extend our notifications system model to let you specify a configurable policy for which topics one wants notifications for. In particular, a lot of preparatory refactoring towards supporting

Correct, it's server-to-client. The model I described above is a symmetric key cryptography design. A model where the client generates a public/private key pair and gives the server its public key when registering for mobile push

Howdy and thanks for sharing that these issues are important to you! The push notifications issue is important to me. I'm the one who opened #6954 five years ago, when we were first implementing mobile push notifications, and I've

The issue here is more complicated. A self-hosted Zulip server needs to send a push notification that reaches the Zulip mobile app on someone's device. For security model reasons, those push notifications need to be sent to Google&#x2F

I think this is a case where one really can't be sure what's going on unless you work at OpenAI. OpenAI claims that they aren't hand-coding outputs for specific inputs, and I think that's probably correct, because it see

That argument would hold more water if there were an additional security mechanism in place preventing `apt install rabbitmq-server` from exposing a system to a remote code execution. It seems to be that the simplest fix for this problem is
