Yup, never had no problem with that. My notes are in Org - if I ever need to grab something to share with a colleague, my yanking command is advised - with a prefix it calls Pandoc and converts to markdown and vice-versa - to get something of markdown into my notes - it all takes just a keypress.

Following "the market" often feels like reinventing yourself over and over only for the sake of throwing that knowledge into the garbage pile of deprecation - do you guys remember the days when market dictated the use of Dreamweaver, Silverlight, SOAP and SVN?

If market tomorrow barks that everyone should be using "Blockchain-ML" or "UltraScript Deluxe" formats, I'm not gonna convert million lines of my notes to whatever crap gets trendy. When I say "Org-mode", there's no confusion - it will remain the same even a decade later, but Markdown? Which one is it - CommonMark, GFM, MultiMarkdown, Kramdown...? It looks like we're not done "perfecting" it, maybe markdown doomed to remain in 'beta'... forever?

I was installing hyprland on cachyos and it seems that cachyos had niri as an option too in the calameres installer.

It definitely had caught my attention and I might look at it too in the future.

I am really distro hopping and trying out a lot of things recently as I have really cut down on the amount of software to just zen-browser with bitwarden and ublock origin,signal and micro and zed for the most part with some custom zsh script and hyprland cachy had a fish shell which looked gorgeous out of the box and very very similar to my zsh script but my zsh script always had problems with history and what not and it seems that they are fixed now so I am very very happy.

Many people experience a strange buzzing or ringing noise in their ears at some point in their lives. For some, it lasts only a few minutes and goes away on its own. For others, it becomes a constant humming or ringing sound that interferes with daily life. This condition is commonly known as tinnitus, and while it is not a disease by itself, it is often a symptom of an underlying issue. Understanding buzzing in ear causes is the first step to finding relief.

Common Causes of Buzzing or Ringing in the Ear The sensation of hearing a ringing noise in ear without an external sound source has many possible causes. Some of the most common include:

1. Hearing loss Age-related or noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most frequent causes. When the delicate hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, the brain compensates by creating phantom sounds, which can be experienced as a ringing sound or buzzing.

2. Earwax buildup Something as simple as too much earwax can cause pressure changes in the ear canal, leading to muffled hearing, constant humming, or buzzing sensations.

3. Exposure to loud noise Concerts, construction sites, headphones at high volume, or sudden loud blasts can all damage the auditory system. Even a single event of exposure can result in temporary tinnitus, while long-term exposure can make it permanent.

4. Stress and anxiety Emotional stress and high levels of anxiety can make tinnitus worse. In some cases, the buzzing in ear causes are not physical damage but rather the brain’s heightened sensitivity during stressful periods.

5. Medical conditions Certain health problems, such as high blood pressure, circulatory disorders, ear infections, or jaw misalignment (TMJ), can trigger ringing sounds in the ear. Medications like antibiotics, diuretics, or chemotherapy drugs may also have tinnitus as a side effect.

Why the Ringing Noise Persists Occasional ringing noise in the ear is common, but when it becomes constant, it can interfere with concentration, sleep, and emotional well-being. The reason it persists is tied to how the brain processes sound. Even when there is no external noise, the brain continues to misinterpret electrical signals from the ear and turns them into the perception of sound. This is why many people report a constant humming or high-pitched ringing sound that never seems to go away.

For sending in Mailbox.org webmail there is a thing called alternative senders where I can add email addresses to send from. I have something similar on my Android K9 app, where it's under Manage identities where I can also add the allowed senders.

I set it up a long time ago this way and I'm unsure of I had to somehow configure Gmail to be able to send from my other account. But I have the same also for @live.com and @zoho.com as I was trying different providers. This allows me to easily reply to forwarded emails with the old email addresses.

Edit: I think you got with the alias, didn't know this is what is called in Google https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en#zippy=%2C...

Kafkorama itself doesn't talk directly to databases — it integrates natively with Kafka. If your DB streams into Kafka (via Debezium or connectors), Kafkorama can expose that data to users, and vice-versa. With the Kafkorama SDKs you can also connect directly to any database (or other system) and either push data into Kafkorama or get data from it, even without Kafka.

I do not go to any fox sites, so here is a dup using a different news site for this:

No surprise here, all companies would do the same. But I was planning on moving to Apple once my current Android fails, not now.

I am hoping the Linux Phone I hear about advances to the point where my Cell Service supports it. Will see because I am pretty much done with Android and Apple.

It's been a few years since I last looked at it, but I've tried daily running it probably 4 or 5 times over the last 15 years. Usually on Arch, but also some Debian/Ubuntu-based distros. It's fuzzy now but I've tried probably every NVIDIA GPU generation since the GTX 500 series.

I can't remember all the bugs, but I've definitely at least encountered all flavors of flickering bugs, stale updates, GPU crashes, failed copy and paste, failed screenshares, failed videoconferences...

From comments on this thread, it sounds like things have drastically improved and its probably time to take another look.

Ok but what is serving the simple web page? Do we think that software has been patched or rewritten over the last few decades?

I feel like there is a category error here where people think a website is the HTML that lands in your browser. When actually it is also the technology that received your request and sent the HTML. Even if it’s the same “flat” HTML sitting on the server, a web application is still sending it. And yes, those require maintenance.

Aye. The graphics primitives, and just about everything else, too. A lot of thought went into making those machines conveniently programmable which made them great for both learning and tinkering.

Though the main two reasons I had for assembly were faster maths loops and graphics (via direct access to screen memory including, on the Master, the shadow screen for double-buffered drawing), so neither of those parts where sometime I called much.

> has it's roots in the semitic languages of the middle east

In some way everything has it's roots there: language, numbers, math, philosophy, politics, religion. And earlier humans itself moved in the same direction. It's just were the large population and the high culture used to be. The last remnants were purged in the middle ages and now by islamic fundamentalists.

I appreciate your comments @cyberpunk!

> ...I work in a place with teams on my project split across multiple time zones, and I reply to people when I'm able...

I've worked in other places where i did just as you noted! But, here, at my current dayjob, the culture is vastly different in some ways compared to all the other companies that i've worked for (over the quarter century that i've sent being part of digital/technical teams across many medium and large enterprises).

Further, i wouldn't say that i'm trying to be a superhero, its merely that there's political pressure here to be "on"/activated all the time. I've been on global teams before, and as you noted, unless there is some massive issue, availability of members of the team is assumed to be within a reasonable range of hours per one's timezone...But, here, many enterprise cultural norms are thrown out the window. I kinda would assume that maybe some unique startup that is so new to the world might behave like this, but this company has been around a long time...and they seem to have lots of churn of their digital/tech teams....and although no company is perfect, this firm's issues i believe stems mostly from its toxic culture. So, for now, i'm doing my time, putting up with the annoyance for the time being, until it suits me to jump ship. Just not worth it for my peace of mind.

> How does the authentication prove that the intended recipient is the one who has clicked on the link and should be able to view?

You log in with a Google account associated with the recipient address. You prove you control the email by putting in a code Google sends you.

> What happens if the email is forwarded with the link?

They can't open it because they don't have access to the Google account associated with your email address.

> What should one do to forward the email to someone without this encryption?

Obviously, encrypted emails are not meant to be forwarded. Nothing prevents you from taking a photo though. Maybe copy and paste will work.

> Organizations may need ways to store, archive and manage received email content from others.

Organizations can't control how they receive information. It doesn't matter what they want in this regard. If a judge orders them to do something about it, that's for the judge to figure out.

> I don’t understand what problem this solves for organizations and how.

It keeps messages private. You don't see why organizations in e.g. health care, law, or the military want increased privacy of messages in a way that is super easy to use? And where recipients can't accidentally forward sensitive messages? A lot of this is determined by compliance requirements too.

i made a half hearted attempt while building my startup - http://www.socratify.com

The use case was to build a knowledge graph to drive recommendations for the next best thing the user should learn.

After a few weeks of getting frustrated I went back to good old Postgres and writing a few tools for agentic retrieval.

It seems the agents are smart enough to traverse a database in a graph like manner if you provide them with the right tooling and context

The problem is as follows: You have a fixed cost investment to produce a software code base, then you have fixed ongoing maintenance costs, at a minimum one developer who knows the codebase. Preferably two for a commercial product. On top of that you have small distribution costs over time. E.g. servers that host the software downloads.

The marginal costs per user are very small or even zero for desktop applications. This means that software needs a funding structure with periodic payments, but at the same time the payments shouldn't grow with the number of users. There also needs to be a way for the initial investors who pay for the creation of new features or entire code bases to get their money back as the product becomes popular.

This in itself is not problematic, but it is not covered by traditional crowdfunding. The problem is that the funding goal needs to be met no matter what, and the contribution per user shrinks as more users contribute. You can't expect everyone to chip in 100%, 10% or even 1% of the funding cost, since that could be thousands of dollars even at the minimum. You need some sort of auctioning process where people can pledge a fixed quantity and if the user count is low enough, their pledge counts, otherwise it doesn't.

This has one problem though. What's problematic is the transition from the exclusive to non-exclusive mode.

There will be freeloaders who might pitch in five dollars, but they know five big corporations have chipped in and this covered the full development cost, leading to open sourcing the entire codebase. Everyone else is a freeloader. Including cheapskate corporations.

I have no experience with any of this but thinking thru the other side, if I'm an IT helpdesk person getting an account reset/unlock request, I have no means to validate any identity paperwork anyone sends in. My response would be a curt email accd to policy and move on to the next IT ticket.

I think the legal path is your best bet unless you know someone higher up. A legal path could bypass all the offshore IT helpdesk staff (making assumptions, MSFT is a giant mega-corp).

This period feels extremely similar to the early 2000s, where people were saying that the web hadn't really done much and that it seemed to be at an "end". And then Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and pretty much the entirety of the modern web exploded.

How tech innovation happens is very different from how people think it happens. There are nice, simple stories told after the fact, but in the beginning and middle it is very messy.

It shouldn't be a referendum.

Representative democracies are supposed to work this way, a government is elected, and they represent their electorate. If the electorate disagrees with the actions the government took they will be voted out the next election cycle, in between it's in the hands of the elected government to make decisions in these matters.

> FWIW, I am not opposed to humanitarian and economic help to Ukraine. But I don't believe military support will end the war in a good way, whatever it means.

It means Ukraine falling in the hands of Russia, is that a better alternative for the rest of us? Have you considered the Pandora Box this opens up to? Without supporting Ukraine militarily they will be defeated, Russia will get a large border with Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Moldova.

Because the UK gov doesn't want a system like theirs.

You don't need to keep Europsplaining to Brits. We aren't all idiots. We know you have ID cards etc and we know about Estonia.

Also if we reject one your ideas, it's not always because we misunderstood it - we can understand it AND think it's a bad idea. I know that often hurts the egos of Germans, the French and the Dutch ;(!

It's funny because it's often Europeans not understanding British politics...the irony ;)

We'd basically move backwards about 20 years in process technology, and most computers would have speeds roughly equivalent to 90s/00s PCs.

Germany still has a very large industrial base, things don't just disappear into the ether because they aren't profitable. Factories are still there, they can be retooled in case of need such as in a war.

I wonder if the Vega stuff will be much better. There's really nothing to like about the Fire TV sticks.

I bought the 4K Max thinking it might be the best option for 4K streaming from all of the major providers as an upgrade for my aging Mi Box (3, I think); aside from the home screen being majority advert, the AV sync is constantly out and differs per-app, so changing it for one makes another worse, WiFi signal is poor and the whole thing is only "acceptable" performance wise.

I suppose Amazon is subsidising the pricing, the the advert laden home screen is a given, but AV sync when it's plugged directly into the HDMI port on the TV is appalling. The Prime Video app on it is disgracefully slow to input and browser, but in that department I find Netflix is really the only app that does perform well on the various TV devices I've tried.

At one point, I thought I wanted an Android TV box, but I realise now that I really don't care so long has it has all of the major streaming apps and performs well (a half decent remote is a must too).

I believe the idea is to avoid punishing people for improving the land.

Landowners should be taxed in a way that factors in opportunity cost. If the city has a massive housing shortage, and the bodega owner refuses to sell to a developer (thus exacerbating the shortage), that may be their right -- but there's also no reason why it shouldn't be reflected in their tax bill.

Remember also that the skyscraper can be taxed in other ways, e.g. corporate income tax or sales tax. But a traditional property tax incentivizes keeping a lot empty, because as soon as you create something on it, you start having to pay more tax -- regardless of whether the thing you created is generating revenue.

Another way of thinking about it is: most taxes, including income and property taxes, disincentivize productive economic activity. Land value taxes improve allocation and reduce commute times, so instead of acting as a drag on the economy they act as an accelerant -- while also helping fund the government, just as other taxes do. A neat trick.

Science needs exactly as much policing as every other human activity: airlines, accounting, agriculture etc.

I have no problem with you "drawing everyone's attention" to the fact that I think so. Indeed I consider the above to be self-evident, because humans aren't angels.

Maybe you confuse policing with censorship or political pressure? That is not the same thing.

Nope, you just prefer to ignore the 800 pound gorilla in the room whose name is "replication crisis". Partly caused by outright fraud.

> "SPVs mean companies like Meta do not need to show the debt as their debt," Perkins writes in a note. He likens today's financing tactics to the subprime era when firms shifted risk off the books to reassure investors.

But it's not? If the SPV is doing its job as a limited liability entity, Meta should be bankruptcy remote from the SPV. Presumably accounting rules would look through that SPV if Meta was actually reachable. It doesn't make a good comparison to GFC where everyone was nominally on the hook but had that risk "insured" with CDSs, etc.

I am curious where your personal line is. Surely you have one. If the only way Cook could avoid tariffs were to go on live TV and swear his allegiance to the KKK, would you still support that? What if the only way were for him to pursue direct legal action against you and your family until you’re bankrupt? Eating live puppies? What exactly would you consider to be “too much”?

I'm oddly impressed by your initial paragraph and knowledge of history. Because it's indeed completely accurate. Few are aware that the Hitler weaponized 'victimhood culture' to an extreme degree. But I'm quite confused by your conclusion, at least if you're implying what I assume you are. Charlie Kirk's entire schtick was giving people a loud platform to speak where he'd engage with them in complete civility, letting them go on monologues, and debating in a completely respectful fashion - avoiding the typical trappings of ad hominem, strawman, and so on. It was actual real debate, not the news stuff where people just scream over each other. Then he'd post the entire thing, unedited, online. Everything he was doing was literally about as much of the the opposite of fascism as you could possibly get.

You know the paradox of tolerance certainly. In it, who do you think Popper was talking about? The people happy to openly engage and debate anybody in a fair and respectful fashion? Or the people shrieking for censorship, denouncing debate, demanding people not be heard, and then going on to start murdering people over their views?

"But we should claim the right to suppress them [intolerant ideologies] if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols."

In an interview with Politico in 2023, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that "In the last 15 years, Israel did everything to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to boost Hamas." He continued saying "Gaza was on the brink of collapse because they had no resources, they had no money, and the PA refused to give Hamas any money. Bibi saved them. Bibi made a deal with Qatar and they started to move millions and millions of dollars to Gaza." At a Likud party conference in 2019, Benjamin Netanyahu said:

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas ... This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."

Gershon Hacohen, former commander of the 7th Armored Brigade and an associate of Benjamin Netanyahu, said in 2019 in an interview:

“Netanyahu’s strategy is to prevent the option of two states, so he is turning Hamas into his closest partner. Openly Hamas is an enemy. Covertly, it’s an ally.”
