I moved TO Evernote from Zim. I was using the same kind of setup you mention, a Zim directory saved in Google Drive, and synced via the official Google Drive client.

It worked ok, until my needs started going beyond simple text and images. There is a horrible issue that caused due to file locking after you make changes because the Google Drive client and Zim aren't really talking to each other at all. Every once in a while GDrive will attempt to sync exacly when you are editing the file and fail.

Evernote's clipping/reading functions of the browser extension finally won me over. Evernote also has much better UX+UI compared to Zim.
Yes. The relevance depends on how likely you are to run a virtualbox image you found on the Internet because somebody told you "run this image".
Communication is always an issue with larger companies

No, not always. A lot of the Google Chrome team hangs out in #chromium. If you come in to track down a bug showing genuine intelligence, it's likely a solution will start getting pushed down to user machines in the dev channel by the end of the month.
That's true - the policy makers is probably a better term here.
In every society since the dawn of man, certain things carried a social cost. In our society, advocating idiotic conspiracies should carry, IMHO, a social cost of feeling embarrassed and stupid. Frankly.
Facebook removed those two corresponding posts first; Twitter got backlash for not doing so, and they then followed suit.
Would you expect https to be required on localhost? You gain very little (or nothing?) by doing it, but you do lose by adding complexity. Especially since you can't get let's encrypt to automatically issue a widely trusted certificate for localhost.
Thats fine. You can just accept that facebook is essential to the social life of your country, that the facebook eula is defacto legislation that you just obey. On the other hand, Signal works. My friends and I use it every day. We have not surendered, nor shall we.
Does that take into account the COVID-19 baby boom?
Even now ICU utilization nationwide in the United States is only ~63% [1]. Regardless of country, ICUs are not supposed to be run at capacity as a matter of practice - the staffing level in ICUs is on the order of one to three people per patient and it's not a resource that can be scaled up or down quickly.

For a large metro area like London, you might have some hospitals at high utilization because they're very close to other ICUs and can redirect incoming patients. It's not supposed to be at high utilization regionally, otherwise a single minor disaster can cause the system to tailspin.

Only one chunk is living in one reality.

The other is “living” in their little Jim Crow fantasyland.

What’s happing today is the result of reality intruding on their fantasy. It’s the same mechanism that causes earthquakes, or psychotic breaks when people can no longer keep up the appearance of being that up-and-coming Hollywood screenwriter.

Even Pence, McConnell, and Mattis are calling this what it is: a fascist insurrection, led by a failed President. So congratulations on the audacity to both-side this.
Well, delete it is then.
If I flipped a coin and it came up heads 93% of the time would you say it came up mostly heads?
Wrong, I am strongly against using terms like facist or nazi for the purpose of insulting or otherizing someone you do not like. However he clearly ticks the majority of elements of a Facist leader. You do not know what facism is.
This is an unrelated and poor interpretation of the claim.
That is very expensive in most of Europe. Half Europeans don't buy new vehicles, they buy second hand, which makes owning way cheaper than renting.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in Ithaca, NY)

I'm an independent software developer with nearly a decade of experience building desktop software, web services and mobile apps. I don’t have a formal education in electrical engineering (I have a degree in math and comp. sci.) but I have spent a substantial amount of time learning this stuff on my own from books/internet/etc. coupled with hardware projects of my own and countless hours of tinkering. I’d like to work on more hardware projects professionally.

I’d love to help you prototype a board, develop firmware for your existing project or even help with the non-embedded software side of whatever you’re building (i.e. server-side processing, web/mobile UI, data processing, etc.). If you’re looking for someone contract-to-hire or as a longer term collaborator in this space then I’d love to talk with you!

Some additional miscellaneous details about me to give you a better idea of where I’m coming from:

* I've worked with AVR, ARM Cortex-M (specifically STM32 and Nordic nRF51) and ESP8266 microcontrollers

* comfortable writing nonblocking event loops or using an RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, ChibiOS)

* experience interfacing with ICs via I2C/SPI/UART protocols

* competent with basic analog electronics theory, design and troubleshooting

* schematic design and PCB layout using KiCad

* basic CAD (Fuson 360), mechanical design and 3D printing for things like enclosures, motor mounts, brackets, etc.

* I have a home lab with all the necessary electronics tools (multimeters, oscilloscope, various soldering tools, microscope, etc.)

* specific areas of interest include renewable energy harvesting, control/automation systems, networked sensors, li-ion battery management, switch-mode power topologies

It costs money to support old browsers

One of the arguments the article makes is that it doesn't --- thanks to the backwards-compatible nature of the Web, anything that works on an older browser is likely to continue working on the newer one.
Chronic semi-permanent light at night (street lights, signage, lights from businesses like hotels, porch lights, and notably NOT car lights or other transitory light) is generally unpleasant right? I feel like at best it's an annoyance, and at worst, it's something messing with biologicial cycles.

Are there any interesting innovations out there addressing this? Like motion strengthened* street lights? I would be tickled pink to have a Navi-esque drone lighting up my way when I need it rather than having everything lit all the time.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for your questions.

Disclaimer: I also work on WTM from time to time, so I hope can answer these questions to some degree :)

1. WhoTracksMe is served via CloudFront, it only get's the IP that CF reports. To get the country, there are two ways that can be used. IP => Country mapping via a Database or additionally, because CF has multiple edge locations, if needed the you could see which edge location served the request, that will help you narrow down the location at a country level. Ofcourse, in both cases if the user is using VPN, you would only records the VPN location.

2. The problem we want to avoid is same IP with same hashing algorithm will produce same value. Which can then be used to co-relate user activity across days. Second, depending on what hashing scheme one is using, rainbow tables can be used to get back the original value. Therefore, to avoid, we used the approach of daily key. Now that I write, we could also use some hash + daily_salt. This should give the same guarantees. - Needs to be checked.

3. In this setup we are not using Cloudwatch but Cloudfront, which is the CDN provider from AWS.
I'm sorry if I repost this link too often but I find this take on consciousness just too interesting. Read for yourself - the author is the (in-)famous machine learning researcher Jürgen Schmidhuber:

That wouldn't work for https though right? (unless you are behind a reverse proxy of course, but that doesn't fit to the whole discussion).
Small pet peeve: why do some people write GOOG, AMZN, etc instead of Google and Amazon when the context has nothing to do with the stock market?
Ah yes, sorry, I had a brain fart and confused growth and inflation...

As for Piketty's point on technological innovation, isn't it that it is one possible mechanism to escape the capital trap, but only if the rents on the resulting developments are low enough, and that historically they haven't been because of investor's desire for returns?
In pacofvf's example, you are correct.

But, the original example is hashing the password. No encryption involved. So what makes anyone think that they can reverse a hash?

Wouldn't it be ironic if the people arguing about ice-ball physics were doing so simply because they enjoyed the mildly entertaining physics problem, while the people attributing the ice-ball arguments to a need for condescension were only doing so because they themselves needed a mechanism to condescend towards the people arguing about ice-ball physics?
I can't speak for everyone, but for me it was more about the growing divide between the rich and poor. I don't think a healthy/happy society with room for upward mobility can exist if things keep moving in this direction. This is literally how wars start.

I really can't understand how you think this is about some person's individual success. People don't hate that, they want it for themselves too. The problem is that statistically it's becoming less likely for poorer economic groups, regardless of their honesty.
it's 3 seconds, not 5.
I don't think so. Criminals would have to get bigger guns and would be more willing to fire, police too. People would risk getting shot much often and won't get around firing to criminals anyway: I never seen that happen even in countries like the USA with free access to guns. It's lose lose for everybody unless for the ones that sell guns.
> They were stuck because they had no way to reverse engineer the requirements from the COBOL code, some of it going back 25+ years. Of course it wasn't documented, or if it was, the documentation was long gone.

Can you explain for people who never ever been close to such an environment how this can happen, and why do they still care about upholding the requirements they don't know about?
All software problems are self-caused and self-reparable: if you want to use Language X and all your infrastructure is in Language Y, you "merely" need to write an interpreter for Language X in Language Y.

When management decries usage, it's almost always because they're running a cost/benefits analysis and the costs of using X (including writing language bindings for code, training programmers on the team, hiring new programmers for the team, context switching between multiple languages, and dealing with bugs and corner cases that have been encountered and fixed by other people in more mainstream languages) outweigh its benefits. Many of these costs are invisible to the engineer who originally proposed using X.
I think this assessment falls prey to the usual issues libertarianism has as it tries to move from the theoretical to the practical. It relies on a couple assumptions to ensure that good decisions can be made by the citizenry: 1) that information is symmetric and acquiring this information is relatively frictionless and 2) that humans make rational decisions, particularly as it pertains to risk uncertainty.

There's quite a bit of research that undermines each assumption, especially in behavior economics.
Supposedly yes neutrons [0 they give a link under causes]. I guess neutrons are more penetrating than protons, can pass through chips/buildings etc more easily, and even though weak interaction, it ends up more significant contribution than protons etc that interact more easily.

I don't understand how UK selection is bad. You need to build to an addressable market and build in that.

Someone made an assesment that the UK made sense. Presumably that someone could be wrong. But they are going to try. Which is 100% better than the rest of the payment apps because they are closed, for profit, and sell your data

Re sms. Agree. But you do agree that prioritization is subjective? What signal leadership thinks it needs to maximize privacy and security may differ from your perspective, correct?
Tesla is a car manufacturer. They operate in the luxury segment which is ~5% of all cars and they only have a slice of that. Nothing they have done, yet, has made a change in the climate that can be measured. You can believe in their mission statement about changing the world but what I've stated are facts based on data. The classification on the stock market has them in the "Consumer Cyclical - Auto Manufacturers" industry segment. If Tesla helps push major manufacturers further into EV then that is good.

The mismatch on salary has always been there. For instance, teachers and emergency responders get paid very little compared to a lot of other professions. Even accountants make substantially more, probably double.

Rewind history to when automobiles were coming out. People thought horses were going to be the mode of transport forever. Is the world better because of automobiles alone? Everything seems interconnected so that is where I was going with not a single industry is going to change the world. Take medical devices and Tech together and you will see more change than Tech alone.

Tech can amplify other industries but alone is mostly just automation of existing things.
More food+bigger house probably adds $400-$1000/month to your budget.

If you're doing it in the spirit of fun (which I assume to be mutual), this means both of you know how the game works (or that such a game exists).

What I meant was, don't play this with friends who are unaware of this game. If you're starting to put you're friends into social experiments without their previous agreement I'd call you a sociopath.
I can only speak for Android, but no you cannot deny the application access to certain aspects of the hardware. You must instead refuse to use the application as a whole.

On the plus side, Android is very clear about what parts of your phone the application is requesting access to when you install it.

This is a problem that I had down to the word ( except being able to give presentations, you got me on that ), and fixed.

Here is my short guide.

1: Read everything written here - http://30sleeps.com/blog/ , particularly the old stuff is relevant.

2: Find 2-3 groups of people who you know none of. Many people do this at university. This is a clean slate. Worst case, you never talk to these people again.

3: ( This plan does not involve becoming a drunk ) Booze. Varying quantities of it. In different situations. Watch how you act, if you act differently or get over your social anxiety, watch how you do it, and the results that you get.

4: Back to sober. Make an absolute fool of yourself being overconfident. Don't be a huge asshole, people do have feelings. Keep in mind things that you learned in steps 1 and 3. Watch what happens. Make mistakes. Do it wrong.

5: Apply lessons learned in everyday life.

That is abstract. Tangibly, I did 1, 3, then 2. Step 2 was local games of Manhunt, and university Debate.
Step 4 was me acting much like my drunk self. Mixing in the behavior I saw in more confident people. I did this at manhunt and I did this on trips to debate tournaments. When it got too stressful, I listened to "Come on Sea Legs" by Immaculate Machine. Over and Over again.
Gradually ramped it up, made myself say yes to every opportunity. Went out on a limb more and more.

It probably helped that debate forced me to stand in front of people and talk with no more than 15 minutes preparation. I was really really godawful at first, and got better. Remember, you will fail a lot. Don't do Toastmasters. Do open mic night, do karaoke, ideally do debate at your local university ( they will have absolutely 0 problem with this at most universities )

My end result was a personality which shares a lot with my drunk ( more honest, to the point ) self. It also shares a lot with the more confident friends I have had through my life. In no way do I feel that I am "faking" it (anymore). Getting rid of the social anxiety wholesale solved everything else. Including the not knowing how to have an interesting conversation.
"Between an emotional and an analytic personality there's very little to talk about really because the world looks so different when seen mostly through emotions versus mostly through analytic cognition."

Wouldn't seeing the world differently offer more to talk about?
Thanks for the kind words

> Only a troglodyte would use JavaScript for server-side programming.

As a troglodyte myself, I don't disagree with you, but you're being unnecessarily demeaning.

> And you can’t use rust for front end work.

You certainly can (for example https://yew.rs/), but as usual there are certain caveats and limitations.
Necessity is the mother of invention. In the mid 40s a very large urgent necessity, the war effort, went away. There were some residuals after that as motivations and industries shifted.
I bought a telescope for my sister and for that purpose I learned a bit about the various options. You'll get a very good telescope (meaning you can see the rings of jupiter, saturn) for less than 400 Euro.

Buy a Newton (reflector/mirror) telescope with Dobsonian mounting - as opposed to the classic refractor with a tripod.

That's my 3 cents.
But arts that were sports remained, the same as in East Asia. We still have boxing, wrestling, fencing and others.

I had a reply filled with disbelief about the ability to successfully cheat through law school, but after reading that article I'm truly blown away.

It's beyond pitiful - in the literal, not pejorative sense - how many people manage to get through our so-called higher education without so much as the ability to communicate on a sixth-grade level. I guess all I can do is teach my kids the value of what it means to love learning, and how to communicate their thoughts and ideas well. The system obviously hasn't figured out how to make that happen yet.
>Does a web server qualify? (you can write one Go).

Being able to write something in Go is besides the point. It being turing complete and having the essential faculties and libraries for a basic subset of tasks, yes, you can write a web server in Go.

Doesn't mean you should.

In any realm where real-time is a concern, where performance is the utmost concern, or where you need real control over the hardware, Go is inappropriate.

It's also inappropriate for Rapid Dev.

>I've shown that in Go you can use 3 concurrency models, 2 of which are currently most popular in the C/Java worlds.

No. C and Java aren't the same world, and your idea of popular is absurd.

I'm out of this conversation, sorry.
I find it slightly ironic that python people envy rspec. I like ruby but (IMO) rspec pushes the ruby penchant for DSLs to a gratuitous extreme. I much prefer shoulda or plain old Test::Unit.

This material essentially only allows one-way propagation of sound waves. IOW, for your recording studio application, this material would have the same effect as your having carpet, namely eliminating elections, although your carpet probably does it far, far more cheaply.
Some companies are willing to that risk and gamble that no one finds out, especially if the legal action in question is cheaper than the fix. :)
Almost none of them are significant.
Good point. I like to browse github projects by stars and npm packages by downloads which helps to identify the popular software. The search engines are not really optimized for this usage though, and long form reviews would be a nice addition. Right now you need to combine the search ordered by popularity with google or stack overflow searches to get the more qualitative information you would get from user reviews.
I love how, at the very end of the talk, when someone asked the speaker if he knew of any other languages that had this problem, and the speaker didn't know, someone decided to shout out "PHP!"

There is something that PHP developers should be made aware of, but it isn't something as weird as Perl's list behavior.

Test script:

<?php
header("Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8");
var_dump($_GET);

If you access /test.php?a=1&a=2 you will be greeted with:

array(1) {
["a"]=>
string(1) "2"
}

You can reason amongst yourselves about whether 1 or 2 is more desirable, but it's only one parameter. So the Perl list trickery is not applicable. Now visit /test.php?a[]=1&a[]=2

array(1) {
["a"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(1) "1"
[1]=>
string(1) "2"
}
}

If you're expecting a string in a GET/POST parameter, make sure you're not receiving an array. This is a HTTP feature, not a bug, but it can sometimes break code if you're not expecting it. (Break as in error messages)

So, no, PHP is not an example of a language with a similar vulnerability.
I owned an early Macbook Pro 2011 model. I had the logic board replaced 4 times and the 4th time paid out of pocket. After that one burnt out I gave up and bought a new computer. Simply the worst computer I ever owned.
It's interesting that debugging is reliable in your setup. I use Kepler-based Scala IDE, and debugging sometimes doesn't work, which means: not all expressions are inspectable. Sometimes you cannot inspect the value of a variable. I'm beginning to think this is actually a Scala issue: maybe those expressions simply get elided in the actual bytecode?
off-topic question: is it possible to speed up a neuron network software using a gpu or specialized hardware running openCL ? what about using supercomputers ?
