I suppose you mean software, and by manage you mean maintenance tools, tools that you use all the time as opposed to one-off cases where you might use a specific tool once to solve a specific problem that won't likely appear again.

If that is the case I don't use any tool. I don't use notes, neither software notes nor paper notes, and I don't use calendars. I try to keep my life free enough of stress so that I don't need calendars to remember what I have to do. If I can't remember what I need to buy, it probably means I don't need that item anyway.

I don't use spreadsheets or anything like that for tracking expenses either.

Of course I use stuff like e-mail, although I would not put that into life-management category.
Are there popular modern libraries that do program synthesis? Although I've thought about this and read about the concept on hn, I've not heard it mentioned seriously or frequently or strenuously as a thing to do either just for fun or to get a job doing it. This could be a popular way to solve programming problems without needing programmers. I think this truly would kick off AI as a very personal experience for the masses because they would use AI basically like they do already do now with a search engine. People would use a virtual editor to design their software using off the shelf parts freely available. The level of program complexity could really skyrocket as people now have more control over what and how they run programs because they can easily design it themselves. Everyone could design their own personal Facebook or Twitter and probably a whole new series of websites too complex or for other reasons not invented yet.

For instance, you want to program the personality of a toy, so you search around using the AI search engine for parts that might work. Or you want a relationship advice coach so you put it together using personalities you like, taking only the parts you want from each personality. Or another example would be just to make remixes of media you like. Because everything works without programming anyone can participate.
I'm a big fan of Gtd since 6 years. I used to use CulturedCode Things, Evernote, Dropbox, Minco(time tracking) and Mail.app.

After some years of use and multiple spikes into other setups, I migrated to using Emacs org-mode with git and mu4e for everything. It's cross platform, text only, does have a stable UX and API and the licenses don't expire all the time. Couldn't be happier!
Wow - the first thing that hit me was a strong feeling of nostalgia for PageMaker and Quark. I could almost smell a laser printer.
Exactly. The price is set by the willingness to pay (the demand curve), which accounts for the fraction of purchased pills that will actually be consumed.

Find a keyboard that has a built-in palm rest - they help you get your hands into the right position. If you can find a "wrist rest" that is made from the heavy open-cell foam (usually with a decorative cloth cover), they're good. The squishy gel-filled ones don't provide enough support.

For rubber-dome switches, look at the Lenovo Preferred Pro USB. For mechanical switches, there's an upcoming model from dasKeyboard (the 5Q) that looks like it'll have one (the prototype in their video doesn't have it, but the product renderings does)
It sounds like the labor and other costs of tracking, delivering, etc. the saline, rather than the material costs of the solution itself, are the issue.

>He almost died in the same cave previously.

While I get the emotional impact of this, it really shouldn't be an argument either way once you begin using some framework to judge decisions.

Think of it this way, if I nearly died in a car wreck on the way to work, would it be fine for me to never get in a car again? I almost died doing that once!

It would make more sense to determine the risk. That he already nearly died doesn't really change the risk profile. Cave diving is extremely risky. That should be the important factor. Having nearly died should not.

It's the latter: (intentional) use of (illegal) drugs is illegal, and having THC in your blood is proof enough to convict you (even if you've consumed it in a different country where it's actually legal; there's precedent). Typically you'd just get a fine though, if you admit guilt and don't go to court. See § 1 here for the exact law: http://www.notisum.se/rnp/sls/lag/19680064.htm
This comment and your replies are far too unsubstantiated and incendiary to qualify as civil by Hacker News standards. We're not here to wage ideological war, we're here to gratify our intellectual curiosity and those are completely exclusive of each other.
It must have been an error on the network's access restrictions, because I agree, he shouldn't have had the ability to get to that part of the network. Maybe it was a routing error, since he claims he didn't switch the machine destination before uploading.
I'm not sure how that connects to the question of whether it was promoted outside of developer circles.
Perhaps a crowdsourced approach could help here, where the raw text and relevant images are identified/extracted by the first few readers.
Not quite. We scaled it to 50x the user count at the same time.
It really does. I find it insightful as to potentially how these "Big Boys" view the development community outside of their Palo Alto bubbles.

Perhaps they fail to realize that their attitudes matter? I think this lends context as to why so many cultural problems persist through that bubble.

> (Why don't they talk this up for PR? Because the fact that this is "expired" food would have to come up, and the public will never bother to read and understand what I just wrote above.)

The deals for grocery chains are usually made with tax deductions as an incentive, as there are logistical costs associated with it, and they still dump/grind a very large volume of perishables every day. Talking this up for PR could be detrimental to grocery chains, as theirs clients might not appreciate the "inefficiency" of their distribution chain, as they are the ones paying for the donated/dumped perishables.

I've written custom webapps for the following:

1. Brainstorming/thinking - https://thoughtwriter.org (which I just launched)

2. Remembering stuff (books, shopping, project ideas) - list limited to just 100 items (so it can't get too long)

3. Tracking habits - daily, weekly, and monthly trackers that only track current period and previous one. (So I can make sure not to skip two periods in a row)

4. Planning - an hourly schedule and a weekly worksheet to track most important tasks, fun, etc.

5. Capturing new ideas - queue that deletes items older than a two days (so it forces me to review things, or just let them go)
Amazon Alexa is perfect for this. Any family member can add things to your shopping list with just their voice.
Finally.

I've been using Transmit for 10 years and had already moved to Forklift since the Transmit 4 engine was so slow.

Transmit 5 looks awesome and I only miss access to Google Cloud Storage which surprisingly only Cyberduck supports.
Quite possible. They've definitely obfuscated their hand. Their R&D department is respectable, I have to say, so I'm sure whatever approach they're taking is measured.

Seeing as the EEA is primarily a group to coordinate research and development on this implementation of blockchain tech, it makes sense to join even as an investigation into it.
Does Netflix use Google Cloud? Or do they just support it with Security Monkey?
I've heard great things about their fungability.
Almost anything can be repurposed for killing, so take it easy.

Suppose you work on the grep program GNU Coreutils. Harmless, right?

Some regime could use that to grep out a list of innocent people to put on a hit list.

If you had no idea what the purpose was, that means the program had conceivable purposes of various kinds, not related to killing, just like grep.

If you develop something that is pretty much only for killing, obviously so, then you know, right? Or else are capable of incredible denial.
The funny thing is, there was never anything strictly skeuomorphic about the old versions of Transmit either - Panic has just always had an engaging approach to UI design, independent of trends.
Sure, if you think $100 a bag is reasonable for that, then that would be a reasonable explanation.
GPU servers nowadays use proprietary form factors for GPUs anyway (like SXM2).

Exactly! The revolutionaries' error in this case was that they weren't revolutionary enough: they should have switched to a dozenal system. As it is, French revolutionary units are an imperfect compromise, with no really good argument for them other than 'almost every country in the world uses them.'

> The closest thing that I care about is the speed at which I can ^C a command when I’ve accidentally output too much to stdout, but as we’ll see when we look at actual measurements, a terminal’s ability to absorb a lot of input to stdout is only weakly related to its responsiveness to ^C.

For example: a SPA webpack setup using html-webpack-plugin which generates the <script> tags in index.html for the different assets, later served by nginx or similar.

How does one tell nginx the names of the files to push if they are generated dynamically? You have to put the names in a separate file and then somehow configure the server using that file?
AMAZING idea.

Please allow me to G+ connect or facebook connect, b/c I don't want to have yet another password to remember, and I'd like to (maybe?) share some activity on Cinc with my FB peeps.

Just a thought.
Do you have Android 7? I'd love to have a power/volume activated voice recorder but the power 3x tap to start recording conflicts with the awesome power 2x tap shortcut to open the camera in Android 7+. Any other methods/apps you know of to customize the shortcut to use volume buttons?

Plain vanilla JS (and therefore TypeScript) still lacks one killer feature from the Coffee family: Null propagation operators (`a ? b` => `a != null ? a : b`, `a?.x` => `a == null ? null : a.x`, etc). Even C# has it.

I have to say that the UI confused me for a moment. The fact that what I searched didn't stay in the search box, and instead it replaced it with a new suggested search term was confusing.

It does notify by e-mail, sometimes to some people. I am a 'Follower' on every currently open job req, and a 'Hiring manager' on a few of the reqs. I'm not a 'posting owner' on any of the current reqs. There are 13 open applicants today, and I received e-mail notifications for zero of them.

This has been a recurring, long term problem with Lever -- and my company has used it for 3+ years (and still does, although we are finally transitioning off). It's to the point where it's someone's job to log into Lever every 2-3 days and nag hiring managers to respond to applicants -- and the hiring managers almost never know that they have applicants based solely on Lever.

Lever's preferred use case is also to have full access to Google Apps e-mail accounts, to provide end-to-end e-mail capture for when you talk to candidates. In theory maybe I want that behavior, but I really don't want to grant that control.

I'm glad that Lever works for you, but it really doesn't work for me. Using it is honestly one of the biggest mistakes we made as a company, and it's irrational that we stuck with it for so long (out of a sense that all ATSes suck so what's the point). It's never worked well for us, and it is fundamentally not the right product fit for us. I'm surprised to hear that it is the right fit for anyone, but it sounds like you have had a very different experience with it.

For my company, I can say with certainty that we have missed out on candidates, had an overall harder time in the hiring process, and had a MUCH harder time sourcing candidates due to its poor job board integration. That said, if you like Lever, don't let me stop you from continuing to like and use it.
You don’t have to split up by category. But you should split up by business model.

One entity would run the marketplace, another entity would do the Amazon Basics products, and AWS would be a third entity.

A single entity controlling the market place, products, distribution platform, and infrastructure just screams of antitrust.

Generally, no company should be allowed to both run a marketplace, and offer products on it.
I don't have Android 7, but in this app you can also set the volume buttons to trigger the recording instead of the power button

For SPAs, I mostly use ClojureScript with reagent and re-frame nowadays.

Reagent is a ClojureScript wrapper for react, and re-frame is a library for state management, where you dispatch events kind of like in redux.

It's most productive and intuitive environment I've come across. Very little boilerplate. I haven't tried serverside rendering with it though.

There's also re-natal if you want to use react-native, but I haven't tried this either, so I can't vouch for it.
>Also, this article reeked of AGI ideas. Deep learning isn't trying to solve AGI. Reasoning and abstraction and high level AGI concepts that I don't think apply to deep learning. I don't know the path to AGI but I don't think it'll be deep learning. I think it would have to be fundamentally different.

I think that this is actually what the article is arguing.
from the article:
>Models closer to general-purpose computer programs, built on top of far richer primitives than our current differentiable layers—this is how we will get to reasoning and abstraction, the fundamental weakness of current models.

This means not using current deep learning ideas, and instead finding ways to integrate other types of programs (conventional algorithms, other types of ML) alongside Deep Networks.
I thought Netflix was mostly or exclusively in AWS. Could certainly be wrong though.
I use Trello for all kinds of stuff. For example we have a grocery board, so if I'm at the grocery store I can pull it up and make my trip more effective. Every Saturday morning I bang out my weekend todo list in Trello. Whenever my wife and I are going to do just about anything: go on a vacation, buy something, whatever, we make a trello board for it.

Also Google Inbox's reminders were an honest to god game changer for me. I pretty much don't forget anything anymore. I even have a recurring "take out the trash" reminder pop every Sunday for example.
We can do better in Alacritty. For those interested, I've filed a bug on our issue tracker about where this latency is coming from and what can be done: https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/673

At the end of the day, there is a trade off to be made. Terminals (or any program, really) can have 1-frame input latency (typically 1/60sec) and give up v-sync and tearing results, or they can have a worst-case 2-frame input latency with v-sync, and then you're looking at 2/60sec or ~32ms.
A Security Audit of Firefox Accounts
I primarily use an app that I wrote: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations

Basically it's a todo list based around habit formation. It also has journal functionality. I set it to open when I open my browser; the idea is that keeping track of these things should be as low friction as possible.

As an aside, journaling (which requires minimal fancy software, or none if you use a paper journal) has been critical in accounting for where my time goes and what I spend my time thinking about.

I use ledger to track my finances. Also low friction, high return; my frivolous expenditures have gone down remarkably since I started doing this last year.

I may have used the term hyperparameter too loosely. Yes, this project does a good job on taking a configuration first approach, but even they set some defaults. For example, they set relu as their default layer activation function. I haven't had time to see what other such defaults are being set.

Yeah, 7 * 4 * 13 + 1 is kinda nice. But it does not really fit in any way into decimal system. If we accept the 5ish extra days, then 360 gives us lots of different options on how to do the divisions. For example 10 months with 6 weeks, 6 days each, has its own sort of elegance to it. And it has that tiny bit of decimal in it. Especially it might make sense in future to reduce the work-week by one day, so you got 4 days of work and the "normal" 2 day weekend.
I also revolve through many tools. The issue for me is that I am better with one on my mobile and another on the computer.

If you're going to get close enough to the machine to interface with it I would rather use PoisonTap[1] which tricks the machine to route everything through the poisontap and add in semi-persistence with the use of cached backdoors.

I wish there was a universal file-transfer app like this on Windows & Linux. The best cross-platform solution I know of is FileZilla, and even that (1) only does FTP/SFTP, leaving out S3 and all the other services and (2) features some utterly baffling design decisions (ahem: https://trac.filezilla-project.org/ticket/2914) that make it more or less unusable for serious work.
