I do something similar, except I have a shell script that pipes my notes out of Letterspace into a single giant text file, which I made a little web tool to filter by hashtags. Know anyone else who has this problem?

Also, do you happen to have the pain point of not being able to connect a related notes with current org-mode as well?

Right, I completely forgot about this! I even bought Unibox on the Mac App Store when it came out! But while I loved the people centric concept, I just didn't like the design...

EDIT: I just downloaded it again, and here's why I don't like Unibox: it has a very low density design. It looks like a fancy website, rather than a productivity app. Lots of space is wasted on frames and borders. UI elements appear and disappear as you move the mouse. It's definitely a modern app, but I seem to prefer more traditional apps...

Equipment gets replaced all the time. Obviously there is a diffusion curve. It's not only absolute costs that matter, costs per bit or bit mile matter too. Demand, and it's economics, determine how popular it will become and how soon.

One thing is undeniable tho. Bandwidth demand is steadily growing and there isn't a clear end in sight. And where there is demand there is progress.

WikiMentions lets you discover books/people/videos mentioned by great people. It’s a graph of mentions where people mention other people/books/videos in books/videos. Also it’s a wiki so anyone can add content. We already have around 2200 books and 1250 videos of 980 people. You can add content without signing up. You only need to sign up to edit or delete something.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the rumoured 4k Chromecast. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some interesting tech to support it they don't want to make public.

Edit:
Nevermind, it looks like Chrome lately has built-in support for Chromecast (I see it under the menu as Cast). From this, I can surmise a couple of things:

1. Google wants users to be able to use a chromecast out of the box without installing an extension. Can't fault them for that because believe it or not, not everyone knows how to do that. Or there's some limitation I don't know about in extensions that they want to get around.

2. This means that Google would either have to open-source the Chromecast functionality in the browser, or it has to maintain both the functionality baked into Chrome and the browser extension. So, they'd have to keep supporting a browser extension they'd not need for Chrome just to support Chromium.

I don't know.. May be a good compromise if possible would've been to bundle Chrome with the chromecast extension. But I doubt when someone came up with the idea of bundling Chromecast in the browser for purpose X, someone else in the team said: But think of Chromium!
I would be really interested in facilitating 2

What's your vision?
It sort of reminds of mechanical engineering, where engineers sketch out the problem solution, do the calculations, and make sure the solution works. Then, they supervise drafters or technologists to produce the actual final product of engineering, drawings (2D/3D, paper/CAD, whatever).

Of course, that's in larger orgs. Smaller places will typically have an engineer doing everything.

I agree with this:
"communication is more important than writing syntactically correct programs"
but article is titled:
"what a programmer does"
not
"what is the most important in a programer job"
That part seems really compelling for some startups. But I'll be curious to see if at the end of the day it turns out to be compelling for you all. (FWIW, the few times I tried that approach people weren't used to it. It probably is far enough away from everything else that it also squarely removes you from the usual "we'll hand you a contract for a contractor" situation too. I am guessing you'll have more luck with it than I did.) You might find pushback from folks who don't want to add another row to their cap table. It seems like it shouldn't be a big deal, but different people have the strangest dealbreakers.

I am also curious: do you plan to value options when you accept those at whatever valuation is current and let other investors determine the rate? Or do you plan to try and determine option valuation yourself? How VC-like do you intend to get here? :)

A roadkill of brexit... With the loss of support of the UK.
People say this, but they're being pedantic. Plenty of people cared a whole lot about slavery both in the human-rights sense and the economic sense. The war was fought over secession, but the states suceded as a direct result of the federal level's intention (and actions) to constrain and eventually extinct slavery and the southern slave economy.

It's something like saying my house actually burned down because it's made of wood, not because I let a kid play with matches.

Don't worry, everybody, I have a super-soaker.

...I have nothing to apologize for.
No. Not at all. Not even in the slightest. This states rights bullshit started in the South as a defensive move to toss a more palatable, quasi-theoretical veneer on what was an unmitigated Southern revolt against the United States because of overt distaste at losing federal support and protection for continuing the practice of slavery. This exposed Southern dependence upon it as a basis for its economy and entire way of preferred life and wealth accumulation. Theorists such as John C. Calhoun and other notable Southern politicians began doing that thing that all politicians do, whereby issues are clouded behind intentional euphemisms that detract people from the core issues. Oh, sure, the South was worried about and fought for states' rights—states' rights to continue the practice of slavery in open defiance to what had been decided at the federal level over 60+ years of negotiations that continued to threaten Southern dependence on slave labor. Post-Reconstruction, this nonsense persisted to attempt to save face as the South reintegrated with the Union and federal government, and to shore up defenses for the establishment of Jim Crow. Today, this states' rights shit continues to get thought time in those who wish to continue the practice of defending indisputable discriminatory practices, engaging in revisionist history that needs to go away, and in those who, for whatever reason, refuse to accept that the Civil War never would have happened if slavery did not exist, was not defended throughout the South, and if Southern whites and their social, political, and economic leaders had read the writing on the wall, and admitted to the grave injustice they'd perpetuated against a whole group of people based solely on the color of their skin—and then began working to change the firmly entrenched racism that to this day continues to remain embedded in Southern thought and culture.

States' rights is a sham of an argument for the Civil War, and, too often, many other abhorrent practices today.
Heh, so now I had to read the actual study.

I agree it's interesting, but my original impression was also true: this isn't about discovering basic personality types. It's about correlating play across four 2 x 2 experimental games. This is a very, very narrow domain of social behaviour. Standard personality psychology, by contrast, aims to predict behaviour across a much wider range of situations. (I still think that is true, even if individual correlations are low in any one situation. But, if you know better and personality measures actually a crock of crap, feel free to correct me!)

Of course, it's possible that there really are four deep types of human personality, that you can capture them in these four games, and that they predict behaviour in lots and lots of domains. But I doubt it, and this article provides no evidence for it.

What's more interesting is the comparison between this unsupervised clustering method, and more theory-driven ways of categorising play in games, like inequality aversion models. I think there is an interesting race between psychologists, who pay greater attention to internal validity, and experimental economists who focus on theory consistency. I'd like to know which kind of models does better at predicting out of sample.

I know it kind of misses the point (and risks never solving the problem by sidestepping it) but is there an X server for it?

If there is, it readily becomes a usable work environment.

A couple months back I was wondering if there was a good way to tie an RPi to an Apple II and use its keyboard and memory (to display a Linux console) and allow me to have the pleasure of actually working from a vintage computer.
Fair point, but then surely it is the EU that is undemocratic rather than TTIP.
Yup. Obama is sliding into lame-duck territory, with a Congress that won't agree with him on anything. Chances of successfully sliding anything in before January are not good, and then it will be a more-or-less different regime involved.

You don't want a paid Linux. You want a paid Linux desktop-system - aka a "desktop environment software package" which support running on top of 3 most popular Linux server distros: RHEL, Ubuntu Server, Debian.

The only reason I and a lot of other people use Linux on desktops is because everything we work on runs on Linux servers and we want the same OS on our machines that runs on the server (even if we also use virtualization & docker when needed).

Even if someone made a perfectly polished Linux desktop system I'd still use some Ubuntu Server with an XFCE DE thrown on top because I like developing on a system most similar to what my software runs on. Incidentally, if I need to develop Windows software, I develop it on Windows. Only exceptions to this are Android and iOS since I couldn't find any good enough dev env setup for these systems.

If you ask for a "polished Linux desktop not based on a server-Linux distro", you are putting yourself into a very narrow niche.... a niche too small be worth developing for :)

I just cross that stuff out or negotiate it to something reasonable.
You're right, of course, but it's not nearly as easy to say succinctly with a clever quip to make a point. The civil war started because states suceded because Lincoln was elected. They did it because there was a gradual progression of laws being enacted with the goal of eventual extinction of slavery in the US. Lincoln's win guaranteed that this was going to continue past some intolerable point for the South and so, secession.

It's a bit like admonishing the protestors for protesting TTIP before it was enacted. Probably could have chosen slightly more accurate words, but my point was still made.
If it's between upgrading equipment and adding more lines I think it will be a very popular option.

Street protests are triggered by masses under the influence of people who have agendas. Given how the agenda for media outlets of today is mostly outrage generation (because it drives ad impressions), you can expect pretty much _anything_ that has any kind of meaning to be turned into a problem.

You don't have to look far for evidence - just turn on the TV. One good example that comes to mind is how anti-EU groups like to take benign, reasonable EU directives and paint them as proofs that EU is a dictatorship run by stupid bureaucrats. And then you have the whole population getting outraged over "straightening of bananas" or "labeling water", even though the whole thing is a purposefully manufactured piece of bullshit.

Now try to negotiate openly, when some group or another rallies public against you over every other issue.

I sympathize with the negotiators. I understand a need for having some room to discuss things before the mass idiocy ensues.

Why not? Replacing cables is cheap if you built the infrastructure properly.

Switching my entire district from ADSL to fiber-to-the-building took a team of a dozen workers only 2 weeks, because all cabling between buildings and all street cabling is in cable tunnels where the cabling can be easily replaced with RC vehicles.

That means replacing those cables again in a few decades will be basically free, too.

For backbones, the same applies, except there the reward is even higher: They’re all in cable tunnels, where they can easily be replaced.
Yeah, well. A lot of those systems does it's job very well. But now they want to access it's data and calculations on an iOS and browser app. Suddenly it becomes unusable or blocks productivity.

Again that is how it was back in the day, CPU and supporting hardware, OS, compiler, standard libs etc all co-engineered.

If you are going to use keyword multipliers or concatenation then I would suggest that you go into Google Keyword planner and then use the find search volume option. Once you've done this use the filters and set it to monthly impressions greater than 10 and this should weed out all of the low search volume keywords that clutter your account.

Yeah and it's not the socially best thing to announce it here before that, not giving mirrors time to sync (note: it's the master mirror and not download.freebsd.org for example). Also because theoretically there could be updated images uploaded still, causing chaos.

Also it doesn't make a lot of sense to link to a download mirror in first place.

Maybe the link should be changed to release notes or download.freebsd.org for a load balanced version.

Is that supposed to comfort one, or make one freak out even more? The usage to mean the former is very.. peculiar, and the usage of the phrase "freak out" rather than, say, "before you are concerned about this and move to change it", does make it seem like that was the intended usage.
