I have recently moved to Quiver. Its user interface is very similar to Evernote. But it has support for Latex, code highlighting, and markdown! In addition, you can specify the location of library as a Dropbox folder, where data is written in JSON. Here is the data format https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Quiver-Data-Format

Lack of Latex support, being able to export raw data easily, and long startup time which renders notes unaccessible are my three problems with Evernote. These problems don't exist with Quiver.

PS no relationship with either Quiver or Evernote
Disclaimer: I don't know how the downvoting privileges are actually assigned.

The necessary karma threshold for downvoting is already prohibitively high, but submission karma and comment karma seem to be shared.

That means if you get one lucky submission, such as the announcement of the next major release of a popular project, you likely get shot over the threshold relatively fast. If the gain from there isn't modulated (or doesn't require a separate, sufficently high amount of comment karma), that may give people downvoting privileges too early, before they've familiarized themselves enough with HN.

Of course it is - just like codepen.io, Adobe Brackets and tons of other online and offline similar tools. Codemirror is usually the best choice when you want to do anything related to syntax highlighting.

The only difference of codeiac compared to other implementations is that it's dead simple, fullscreen and has the only functionality required by the majority of frontend developers. Essentially i made this for me - but I think it might be handy for others too.
It's because when we running some Clojure app, it loads a huge amount of classes and creates a tons of their instances. There's a good, but a bit outdated, article about that - http://martinsprogrammingblog.blogspot.de/2012/02/why-is-clo...

And compiled ClojureScript code is just a bunch of js.

Autonomous cars won't do much more than cabs for reducing the number of cars on the street, will they? They'd mostly reduce the number of cars sitting unused in driveways at any given time, but you still have just as many people who need to get from A to B.

> Algorithmic line-drawing of single-member winner-take-all district pretty much guarantees poorly-representative districts

A) The status quo is massive Gerrymandering, so something like the Shortest Splitline Algorithm would be a massive improvement.

B) The point is not to make quasi-proportional-representation with districts. The point is to make a legislature whose laws are representative. To that end, it does not matter if the constituents of a given district happen to have a lot in common.

A Chile Is Never Just a Chile: Food and Sex in Mexico Before and After Colonization
Dependently type languages are wonderful in theory and a royal pain in the butt in practice. It's a great example of "devil in the details" kind of thing.

For example, let's say you define a type of list of size n. Great. You can only assign list of the same size and you can only append an element of the type "n" to a type "n-1" or the compiler will complain. Now you can even prove that your program is formally correct. What's not to like?

And then, reality knocks at your door.

How do you instantiate such a type? It needs to be instantiated right away with n elements or your program won't compile. But these elements are coming from the runtime, say, a database. How the hell does this work?

Dependently typed languages that go just a step beyond prototypes quickly realize how crippling this approach is and they will give you all kinds of escape hatches to weaken the type system just so you can use the darn thing. But it's futile, because at the end of the day, a program is a living thing that relies on side effects and external inputs, and sophisticated systems are just not designed to cope with human fuzziness.

The reason why dependently typed systems never became popular is not because the world hasn't realized yet how awesome they are: it's because they just aren't a good fit to solve real problems.

At best, treat it as comment about how hard it is to think what detractors to X might have said before X became wide-spread. I believe your example of 'lack of mechanics' is poorly chosen; akin to saying 'My biggest gripe with hearing about fully autonomous cars is that they will be so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe would own them.'

As a real-world examples I think are better, 'My biggest gripe with hearing about telephony is there won't be enough operators to handle the number of calls.' 'My biggest gripe with hearing about computers is that they are too bulky.' 'My biggest gripe with television is I'm at work when my favorite show is on.'

According to the Intercept[1], the account was squatted and unused for 3 years, and Twitter released it to associates of Snowden upon request. Considering Jack Dorsey's response to the matter, it's not surprising they'd acquiece.

I've heard Twitter can be pretty accommodating when it comes to squatted usernames when there's an official reason like a trademark or strongly worded letter from a law firm citing brand confusion. Maybe Snowden's legal team or his associates at the ACLU just asked nicely :-)

IMSA is indeed a great school. (I went to high school at another well-regarded school in Illinois, and saw quite a bit of IMSA folks deep into the statewide competitions for math team, quiz bowl, debate, etc etc.) I avoided going to it for exactly the reason you mentioned, with the worry that that would be exacerbated by social isolation caused by being away from my family.

I imagine many folks find it a wonderful place to be.

As far as I can tell, the decision to remove Mass Storage had two main drivers:

* The removal of SD cards from mainstream phones

* The use of ext4 as a main filesystem on a lot of phones.

The removal of SD cards meant that you could no longer "unmount" part of the phone filesystem to present it as a mass storage device. The use of ext4 meant that many OSes had no idea how to mount the storage, even if you presented it as a block device.

I'm not sure anyone will read this, but I think you could implement a FAT emulation layer over USB Gadget, at least enough to get car head-decks to play MP3s off the phone. If anyone wants to take a crack at this, please get in touch with me.
Well, in this case, one of the big concerns is new Amazon hires pushing families of color out of the central neighborhoods they've historically resided in. The CD is a very traditionally PoC neighborhood (there was recently a GREAT docu about Yesler Terrace housing projects), but it's also very conveniently located for a lot of new tech workers. Rents are skyrocketing.
Gerrymandering has more to do with Simpson's paradox. Look it up :)
It's even more complicated and crazy than that.

* If I fly my friends with me to the beach for the weekend, they can chip in and cover their share of expenses. Legal for me to do as a PPL under FAR 61.113(c).

* If I fly myself to a conference for work, my employer can reimburse me for my expenses. Legal for me to do as a PPL under FAR 61.113(b)(1).

BUT.

* If I take a coworker with me to the conference, I can't be reimbursed as a PPL. I must either fund it out of my own pocket or must have a CPL under FAR 61.113(b)(2) as held by the Mangiamele opinion (which I can't find the original PDF of right now, unfortunately).

I really don't know enough to have an opinion on this matter, but I also don't see the substance of your argument. If you flip a fair coin twice, you might get two heads. That doesn't mean the coin isn't fair; fairness is a property gleaned of repeating the trial many times.

So over many elections, the aggregate result would be fair.
I've never written any software that had an extension system so I can't comment on whether or not it's a good design. My guess is that so long as the system is well documented, then it can work. Hopefully someone better qualified can address this.

I personally have been using git more and more for my note taking. I use RStudio and RMarkdown for my notes and it has been great and easily spread to all my personal devices.
I never really figured it out.

Also, it's the job of the UI to tell the user what is going on.

So no, it doesn't work, and it would be easy to make it work. Just give it a glow or a color, like the old keyboard did.

Nadya - Thanks the summarizing the video! You mentioned that other lean startups have done this, could you point me to other lean startups working in this methodology? I'd love to learn how others are approaching this idea.

I've also found while many accept that pair-programming increases productivity it's rarely implemented. The video we created outlines an approach that is an alternative to pair-programming but maintains many (if not more) of the benefits.

People who say this never game this out.

1. Attacker sees random data.

2. Attacker knows you might be smart enough to use a plausible deniability file system.

3. Attacker starts beating you with the wrench.

At this point, there are several possibilities that could happen:

1. You give up the secret and give the attacker what he wants. The beating continues after this point, because the attacker really has no idea if you've given up the right secret.

2. You give up a fake secret and give the attacker what he thinks he wants. The beatings continue. See possibility #1.

3. You don't give up the secret and he continues beating you with the wrench anyway to try to get you to reveal the secret.

4. You're not using a plausible deniability encryption at all, and it truly is random data, and he continues to beat you with the wrench to make sure.

As you can see, the wrench doesn't give two shits about your plausible deniability.
To my understanding, Homejoy went under because of it the worker classification lawsuits happening.

The title of this post seems to try and connect a shitty customer experience with the connotation of how its contractor model won't be sustainable long-term, but the actual content doesn't deliver on what it implies. Instead, it doesn't seem to make any substantial comparisons to how Homejoy and Zirx are related other than the fact that both companies employ 1099 contractors and why the business model doesn't work.
At the moment, people are implicitly trading their personal data for services and convenience (communication, transportation, etc). Yet our data has value not just aggregated across millions of users and trained to sell ads; it has value to us as individuals: third party platforms can disappear, get hacked, act dishonestly, or change their business model.

There have been advances in systems that reclaim or duplicate ownership of third-party data back toward the user, personal API/quantified being the most recent. I think the missing link is not the technology, but rather a social movement that promotes the value of data access and ownership. This might be one silver lining to recent data breach and hacking scandals.
Hey, thanks for the great blog posts but your blogging platform is frustrating to use on mobile because you have the swipe left/right to change articles in addition to code blocks that don't wrap. I'm having about a 10% success rate on horizontal scrolling in the code blocks on chrome on android, and the other 90% I'm unintentionally loading a different article. Just something to consider. Personally I'd drop the swipe navigation since I'm far more likely to use a search bar or index to find posts rather than flip through like a magazine. Thanks again, you did a better job explaining ll and lr than any of my professors did.
Continuing my streak of posts regarding preference which likely apply nearly only to me[1], I will gladly take on this question!
As with the others, I should reiterate that I am a niche user and that the things I want will likely not be wanted by everyone else.

1. Terminal-only (^Z is still something I want/need)

2. Not ncurses (as much as I like ncurses and what it did for TUIs, it's got too many pain points and short-comings to make sense lately).

3. Configurable/Extensible/Scriptable through the host language or one DSL (i.e., allowing a ton of different languages for plugins (I'm looking at you vim, ಠ_ಠ) is a SadTime™).
Given this and (2), I would be tempted to say I'd prefer this editor to be written in Haskell and use Brick[2]; there is at least one editor that attempts this [3].

4. Incredibly stripped-down core functionality with officially maintained extensions for likely-to-be-wanted features (e.g., syntax highlighting).
This is not because I don't want syntax highlighting (I definitely do), but rather the recognition that one size does not fit all and that making the whole system as configurable as possible is often a huge win.
Note, this cannot be done at the expense of performance (which is why I would be tempted to say that accomplishing this sensibly would require (3) be accomplished through the host language (and that it would add another strong argument for Haskell)).

5. Modal (One of vim's greatest triumphs is the brilliance and simplicity of function in modal editing—yes, it's a very odd concept when you're starting out, but it's irreplacable once you get used to it)

6. Asynchronous (One of vim's greatest failings is an interface that is completely incapable of dealing with asynchronicity)[4]

7. Some or all of what Gary Bernhardt mentions in "A Whole New World"[5] (great talk anyway if you haven't seen it). Particularly, layers and a flexible auditor.

Curious how much the Whole Foods bags from the frunk cost as a product placement.
Since it's a suv I bet you could get out through the 2nd row. Would be a heck of a lot easier than opening a regular swinging door.
If there's space between the front seats you could get through that way.
I was thinking about what a module from Iain Bank's Culture series would rate for injury percentages, and thinking that it would be rad for a team to have that sort of goal, like every few years aiming at cutting 50% of the remaining risk out.

I agree with you 100% on Libertarians writings that monopolies are wring.

It is my experiences with defenders of monopolies. In my conversations with dozens of Libertarians they do not agree with me that the government should limit monopolies. I have a strong academic background and find that the philosophy of Libertarians is FAR from the grass root Libertarians' beliefs.
I'm firmly in the downvote to disagree camp.

Suppose my click on the down arrow expresses the thought "you're wrong, fuck you". HN is better off when that's the end of it...whatever it was and regardless of if it was in the comment or in me or in both.
A lot of SUVs are basically raised sedans. Only the very largest SUVs have fundamental differences from "cars" - Expedition, Escalade, Tahoe, etc.

Side note: no one will get away with building shit after this. And thats a GOOD THING.
The Model 3 will be my first car, unless my circumstances necessitate that I have one sooner. The stuff that Tesla is doing is just so bonkers cool. Not only that though, I'm sure it's going to be safe, reliable and fast.

So you believe that nation-states should not be self-interested?

I think if you hold such a radical agenda, you should be up front about it, rather than arguing by analogy to topics people want to distance themselves from. You're advocating the dissolution of nation-states in the conventional sense. This is a fine thing to advocate for, but one certainly isn't a racist for not supporting this particular radical agenda that you happen to have.

Are you also a communist, or at the very least, do you believe that inheritance should be abolished? After all, inheritance is a literal lottery of birth in the same way race is.

And finally, as someone who is posting on the Internet, you have either won the lottery of birth in a direct way, or been blessed with enough intelligence to overcome suboptimal birth conditions and thus have won the lottery of birth in a more indirect way. What are you doing to address the harm your privileged position does to the world? Do you live a life of poverty and give all your money to Waatsi?
I think a lot of us are quietly hoping the Auto-car will lead to some sort of CarBNB outcome, where the car can be scheduled by almost anyone when it's available. The car's owner is just another passenger, except maybe they can bump another's schedule and call the car to them on demand.
Probably ask it to park itself.
