    How to derive Electromagnetic Waves from Maxwell's eq. in 1 Tweet 1)∇.B = 0 2)∇.E = 0 3)∇xE = -∂B/∂t 4)∇xB = μ₀ε₀∂E/∂t Using ∇x(∇xA) = ∇(∇⋅A)-∇²A for E & B ∂²E/∂t² = 1/μ₀ε₀∇²E ∂²B/∂t² = 1/μ₀ε₀∇²B E and B obey the wave eq. with c = √1/μ₀ε₀💡!

    "Channel names can’t contain spaces, periods, or most punctuation. Try again?" No. Just let me name it, and if there is a homoglyph problem an admin should be able to turn this off with a setting.

    I just did a /who to get a list of people in a Slack. It tells me to go look at the details pane. The details pane does not expose this in an easily exportable way. The API does this, but while I can write python to loop through all channels, this feels weird to me.

    I have a fantasy where I am allowed to be a Slack product manager for a day with absolute power. So many minor features that bug me that seem obvious to me, a peasant. Name your favorite missing slack feature in the thread -- I'll start.

    More than 200 people the US deported back to El Salvador have been killed or seriously abused, including sexually assaulted and tortured, a report from Human Rights Watch says.

    Particularly when this isn't some sort of Knightian black swan -- every report seems to indicate the software and the company are full of anti-patterns. Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine. Unforced errors are the worrrsssssst.

    The right response is: Oh wow, this was a gross case of underrating how difficult this problem is. Or a gross case of over-inflating a sense of our own abilities. Or just, you know, not listening. "Well things are going to be risky" is just the laziest excuse ever.

    If I hired a bunch of people who weren't biomedical engineers to make a new pacemaker, ignored basic best practices, and rushed it into a patient and they had a heart attack *just like experts warned them*, the right response is "well, any venture is risky".

    It *is* ok of course to solve hard technical problems in sensitive areas via new means. This is why we have pacemakers, new surgical tools, and so forth. But what those things have in common is *safety*. First, they must do no harm! Probably second, third, and fourth too.

    I actually think it's bad in many ways, but: They weren't doing something new. They were literally re-inventing the wheel by creating a proprietary tool to do something that had been solved many times in the past, and solved well via less complex means.

    Acronym and its vassal companies have an important lesson to learn here: Taking a risk on doing something new is not the same thing as doing something *risky*.

    I'm not linking post by the Acronym rep since I don't know that I want it getting the juice. There is a line in it though: "A core tenet for us is that progress requires taking calculated risks and doing things differently."

    New: we're publicly releasing the IowaReporter app after obtaining it so others can download it, analyse it. It's necessary to offer complete transparency on what the app is, what it can and cannot do, and why it failed. You can download the APK here:

    I appreciate measure twice, cut once thinking, but is it going to be Thursday until the complete Iowa caucus results are out? *Really*?

    Fear apparently does, in fact lead to the Dark Side. Except these are Republicans, so their fear has already lead us to a Muslim ban, putting kids in cages, a stupid trade war....
