We are at the point in the fillum where the genial but strict Irish priest hands a pair of boxing gloves to the two adolescent proto-gangsters, points at the slack roped ring and says "Sort it out in the ring lads. And leave it in the ring."
Of course one of them ends up executed at the end of the film.

A salutary reminder from work Slack: important backups (including recovery codes) should be stored in more than one location.

Why does Slack even pretend to have keyboard shortcuts?

Technically valid advice I typed in the A11y Slack for which I am a tiny bit proud:
“Unstick the sticky when the port is too short.”

Salesforce is restricting third-party companies from long-term indexing and storing of Slack messages, which would hamper rival enterprise AI firms like Glean (The Information)

Salesforce Blocks AI Rivals From Using Slack Data
Slack, an instant-messaging service popular with businesses, recently blocked other software firms from searching or storing Slack messages even if their customers permit them to do so, according to a public disclosure from Slack’s owner, Salesforce. The move, which hasn’t previously been ...

HPR-QP: A dual Halpern Peaceman-Rachford method for solving large-scale convex composite quadratic programming
In this paper, we introduce HPR-QP, a dual Halpern Peaceman-Rachford (HPR) method designed for solving large-scale convex composite quadratic programming. One distinctive feature of HPR-QP is that, instead of working with the primal formulations, it builds on the novel restricted Wolfe dual introduced in recent years. It also leverages the symmetric Gauss-Seidel technique to simplify subproblem updates without introducing auxiliary slack variables that typically lead to slow convergence. By res…

From Bill McKibben
"Let me state it plainly: we are rushing into the most dangerous period in human history, and the Trump administration seems determined that we do it blindly. It’s inconceivably stupid, and it’s entirely real. And the planet doesn’t care: physics will not cut us any slack because we elected a moron."

Meanwhile, back in the real world
There's too much carbon in the atmosphere, so it's hot

so why on earth were CNCF/K8s kicked off Slack's enterprise plan, anyway?
cost? how much can it cost to store a bunch of chat messages for two moderately popular OSS groups, ten dollars a day? all of the capital cost has been paid at this point, it's just the marginal one at question, which cannot be high unless Slack's infrastructure is dramatically worse than any reason could allow
the amount of goodwill they know they'll lose can't possibly compensate the c…

I love that Discord notifications won't clear on mobile until I open the app
And that Slack notifications don't clear on desktop until I open the mobile app.
Can y'all just mark notifications as read on _all_ devices...

Heads up folks. #slack is joining the list of companies who think it’s OK to opt groups of users into an #AI / #LLM system without their explicit consent.

Is...is there a Slack integration?

10 years on the macadmins.org Slack already - time flies! #macadmins

My favourite way to trick myself into thinking that I'm doing work is to ask questions related to my task in Slack channels.
In my defense - there is currently very limited brain space because a certain funder decided to drop a figurative bomb on our institute and everything revolves around this now...

Did a smidge of cable management because the fiber runs to the QNAP needed a bit more slack. Things I love: being able to disconnect the connections to the iSCSI storage and have absolutely no loss of connectivity.

Hey @… how you doing?
Did you ever look at joining the https://infrastructureclub.org/ Slack? Lots of EMF and other interesting people on there

Order has been restored.
I'm sorry peeps, but no wifi or bluetooth are dealbreakers.
So, I'm getting there: number 3 is Slackware nwg, a GTK shell on top of (in my case) hyprland.
Another Slackeroni production (kudos to @… and @… !). Defying the idea that Slackware is a bit behind or so, running the 6.14.8 kernel, zram, pipewire, hyprland 0.49, you name it.
For this one I've chosen to let go of flatpak and use native packages (slackbuilds as well, obviously). It's all there.
Gentoo with dwm is the odd one out. Should anything happen there dwm will be loaded on Slack as well.

Less Conservative Adaptive Gain-scheduling Control for Continuous-time Systems with Polytopic Uncertainties
The synthesis of adaptive gain-scheduling controller is discussed for continuous-time linear models characterized by polytopic uncertainties. The proposed approach computes the control law assuming the parameters as uncertain and adaptively provides an estimate for the gain-scheduling implementation. Conservativeness is reduced using our recent results on describing uncertainty: i) a structural relaxation that casts the parameters as outer terms and introduces slack variables; and ii) a precise…

The Bones and Shapes of the Phillips Curve
The COVID-19 pandemic reignited debate on the U.S. Phillips curve. Using MSA-level panel data (2001-2024), we employ a Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) instrumental variable strategy with a shift-share instrument to estimate core non-tradable inflation's response to a v/u-based slack measure. We distinguish structural slope stability from state-dependent non-linearities via a threshold model. Our analysis addresses whether the slope of the Phillips Curve changed during and after the Pandemic in t…
