I cannot get more than 4-5 hours of pure brain work out of my day. Usually, those hours are spent at work, except on weekends. I have no idea how other people do that but if I regularly spend more than 8 hours working per day and then add a few hours of even more programming in the evening, I go insane.
isn't pinboard mostly for bookmarks? does it work well for notes?
You do "just" do those things though.

Obama did "just" become president. He needed smoke breaks and his blackberry to do it all, but he did "just" do it. He subjected himself to his cause and reaped the benefits.

If I look at those three-step plans and feel offended, thats a problem with me. If I feel like I cant "just" say that succesful people are "just" successful, that speaks to a problem with my idea of what is "just", not what it actually is.

Ok let's say you remember seeing something on a tab but couldn't remember which one it was on. How do you even begin to find that tab? With 1000 files on my file system I have any number of ways of searching not only the filenames, but also the contents of the files, visualizations based on size of the files, etc etc. I don't think it's a good comparison.

Yes -- revocation is just an indicator of the subkey's trust going forward. Once revoked, the user would generate a new subkey and re-encrypt their password wallet. While the git features and multi-key capabilities of pass lend well to very lightweight team usage, the model is definitely best suited for use by an individual.

> the national parks are almost fully funded by the people that visit them.

Even if that were true, National parks are big, which means the additional space taken up by toll collection infrastructure at parking areas (and the staff to man them) aren't a big deal, and they present lots of needs for people to stop and buy things which creates concession opportunities.

This is significantly less true of most (but not all) local parks.

But, anyway, even National Parks funding comes mostly from appropriated funds; fees (both directly from visitors and commercial services) are on the order of a couple hundred million of the single-digit billion dollar annual parks spendibf. And even that amount actually spent doesn't meet upkeep needs; the National Parks have deferred maintenance costs on the order of four times the annual budget.

Is the flat panel on the roof optimal? Maybe at the equator but on our house we angle them to catch more of the sun throughout the day.

Also I echo sentiments of whether the landlord and/or building supervisor would be happy and also the electrics regulations in your country. It's only 12v but is this legal to hang loose wires down the building?

I'm sympathetic, I use my two secondary 1080ps in portrait. I think I used to use a vim plugin on Chrome that had a sublime-ctrl+p-like feature to just search through my open tabs for the one I wanted.

Edge's reading list shows newer entries at the top. The problem is you don't have to do anything extra to use tabs. You just... leave them open, and then there's no reason to use bookmarks or reading list or history
There is more to it than just the 4 year vesting schedule. Such as how long the startup gives people to execute options and the amount of taxes owed if you have to execute within 3 months.
That's not "showing them what to do" it is more along the lines of "hand-holding".
Cap'n Proto includes both serialization (comparable to protobuf) and RPC (comparable to gRPC).

The main argument I've heard in favor of gRPC is that it is supported in more languages. Otherwise, I'm not sure what would make gRPC "much better at RPC" -- Cap'n Proto is actually much more expressive, and has features like capabilities and promise pipelining which gRPC lacks.

Do you remember the arguments you saw? I'd be curious to know what they were.

(Disclosure: I'm the author of Cap'n Proto and also Protobuf v2.)
> None of those tabs are doing anything, they're literally just holding a URL and waiting to load it when the user switches over to that tab. It's not a tab, it's a bookmark.

The tabs store state too, so they aren't just bookmarks - I just closed the browser with just your quoted text in the reply form, and upon restart, the text was restored.

Chrome does seem to work this way as well, but loads all tabs by default instead of lazy loading when a user navigates to the tab.

> If the robot's owner gets an extra $50k income from this, we're actually getting more in tax because their marginal income is higher.

If the robot is owned by an individual taxpayer paying personal income tax on the income, and if you ignore taxes other than income tax that levied on labor income, and if you ignore accounting tricks, etc., this is fairly obviously true from the way progressive tax rates work.

OTOH, it becomes less obviously true when you consider how the robots are likely to be owned in the real world, the full set of taxes on income in the real world, and the greater practical ability of the rich to avoid taxation in the current system.
I also use many 100s of browser tabs almost all the time. The Opera browser in 2009-2011 used to handle 500 tabs easily for me. These days I am often sitting at >200 tabs in both Chrome and Firefox on same machine.

I'd like to see a command line interface to manage my open tabs, so that I can see which tabs are going to be "expired" soon (unloaded into a stale tab, or converted into bookmarks as long-term cold storage) so that I can manage which groups of tabs I would prefer to continue to be running, and do bulk maintenance on what's "very cached" and "mostly cached" and such. I would imagine something like buku/jotmuch that has HTTPS API access to some extension in my browser. (I mean, the right way to do this is DCOM/RPC but see lkcl's eternally ignored pleas...)

One alternative I tried for a while was xmonad + a plugin to label individual windows. Instead of using browser tabs, each page would be loaded in a new window, and each window would be given a list of tags by me when leaving the window first time. With a keyboard shortcut, I was pulling up a list of possible browser windows that matched a search query about tags. I don't really care about tabs/window distinction as long as the interface gets out of my way.

Have you considered doing a quick extension to monitor your tab usage stats? At minimum you could track details like: Open/close rate, tab revisit/reload rate (longer than a second), tab lifetime, groups of tabs (such as tab creation relationships) and their lifetimes. Once you have this information, you could probably tweak your browser's build configuration to more closely match your habits.
> And I get to work on the train for half my commute.

That's the thing that's key for me. I go nuts if I'm sitting behind the wheel in traffic for more than 20 minutes. I can easily do, for example, an hour each way on the commuter rail or shuttle. In fact, I feel it actually allows me to waste less time because I'll bookend emails and other communications in my day to my commute, and then while I'm at work I am able to focus better.
I've been interested to try programming using proportional fonts for a while, but really like ligatures and don't want to do away with them (I'm using Hasklig at the moment.)

Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm having trouble finding anything at the moment.

I really doubt the wind is going to pick up a 2'x4' ~20lb panel like that when it's flat on a roof. Now if he had lifted an edge to try and get a better angle with the sun that would IMO be a much larger issue.

Obvious Problems:

1: You're not using a pure sine wave inverter so right off the back you are losing significant efficiency (Most the things you're charging use DC power anyways so it would be better to just get a nice DC charger).

2: If you are discharging your battery past 50%, you're going to significant reduce it's life span.
Yep it going to be a fire risk.
I'd say load balancing is still a big gRPC hurdle. See https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/load-balancing.... for the current official stance on load balancing. It's pretty convoluted IMO.
Depends on how close the two batteries are to each other.

I mean, I guess you could physically remove the solar battery, and hand-carry it to the ground just in front of the engine compartment, but now the hassle factor is getting rather high...

Julia(2012) appears to be the only language created in the last 20 years that is 1-based. The next one is Lua in 1993(!).

For better or worse, at this point, the indexing debate is over and Lua is sadly on the wrong side.
I second this although I put gym after work. For me, the time crunch really makes me focus on what's important. Working on something I like early in the morning gives me a boost for the rest of the day. Another tip is trying to take the positive side of a full-time job and seeing it as actually helping me to develop my interviewing skills.
For some reason, I don't see a reply link for your most recent post [1].

> I didn't assert that case law made digital signatures equivalent to electronic signatures

You're correct; I didn't read your original response carefully enough. Also, the comment [2] that stated that the FSF does indeed allow for digital signatures (in the US at least) definitely settles the issues and answers my original question.

I don't - it's just what I heard through the grapevine from people working in the field.

I worked at Rethink (previously named Heartland Robotics) as an intern in its very early days (2009, there were ~10 employees). Exciting times.
I hadn't seen that. Thanks!
Interesting point, thank you for answering.

I wonder if the "next thing" is going to come from atheists constructing such an organization from scratch, or from religious people adapting churches to fit our new understandings?
> You have to specifically enable it on newest Windows platforms, because afaik it has been disabled by default for some 5+ years now.

No you don't have to specifically enable it, it's still enabled (by default).

Completely disabling NTLM on a network would be a large project and not even Microsoft recommend that because the security gains are relatively small.

That sounds like a call to arms - A RAN field investigation has just unearthed new evidence of fresh bulldozing through critical elephant habitat in Indonesia’s Leuser Ecosystem.

I've had this exact thing happen to me (while talking to customers). Recently had the person answer after the third or fourth follow up and needed more time as they haven't gotten to getting all the sign offs.

That being said, I'm not a telemarketer, I work with high end Integrations and before you get a proposal we've had a few conversations. If the answer is no, I'm respectful of that and I want to know what we can do better next time.

I'll keep following up until I've gotten an answer.
So even if you only had 100 tabs

This is fucking surreal. Why on Earth would anyone want 100 open tabs, besides testing? What's the real life scenario we're looking at here?
How??? I've never understood how people can have that many tabs open and it be useful at all. At that point the information overload is too much. I have at most 10 open, and close them as I'm done with them. Helps reduce cognitive load.
I do not think this is an event so much as a continual process. People have been coming to and leaving the Valley for as long as I can remember. Some even come back. So this is nothing new. It is quite expensive as the article points out and if you're not in the thick of it then there's not much of a reason to be here. It may seem exciting on the upswing but after you've spent your tour of duty, you're spent and staying will only spend more.
Old Opera simply used to load cache. So if you opened a tab, it was there.. for days, weeks, months, through restarts and all. I loved that. Now everything I open to "check out later" is getting lost.
I use ridiculous numbers of tabs, and Firefox has been less stable for me the past months than ever before.
Their main use case is maintaining critical/sensitive state information that you want to protect via rules of interaction between multiple parties (that don't trust each other) without the need for a trusted intermediary. The contract is tamper proof and only via correctly and cryptographically signing messages/transactions intended for the smart contract will the state of the smart contract change, but only according to the rules defined in the smart contract.

The (non-fintec) example I often hear about often is a voting system. (See: https://github.com/stonecoldpat/anonymousvoting , here zk-snarks algorithm is introduced to ensure privacy)

Essentially anything that requires co-ordination between parties that don't trust each other over a piece of data (a balance of money, the tally of a ballot) is a perfect use case for smart contracts. But since there is cost to running it on these secure networks it is important that they remain O(1) or at most O(n) time complexity, which for these kinds of applications is often totally enough. (eg. if (the message is signed by the 'owner') { send the funds } else { throw })
YES, I'm not the only one who uses this! As a compulsive tab-opener (I really gotta work on this...) and also a cellular hotspot user, both Safari and Chrome eat up, like, a gigabyte of traffic as soon as I open them. Firefox behaves much more reasonably, but until recently it's been very slow with 50+ tabs. I'm glad to hear this use case is (apparently) getting some close attention!
Try using Pilgrim[0] if it's breadth you're concerned with. It's a simple reader bookmarklet that also creates a linked map of all links in a page[1], letting you visualize the breadth of linked info in a tree and glide back and forth between them in a simple way.

I just found it today and already I love it.

I've been working on side projects for about 7 years now. All my side projects are open source.
I wouldn't advise going into open source to make money but it's a great way to build connections.
Considering the failure rate of for-profit side-projects among people I know, I think that maybe open source isn't such a bad idea from a career point of view.

My first open source project was a failure; I worked on it for 3 years for maybe 20 hours per week. At around the same time, a number of hot SV startups started building very similar products 'as a service' - I felt that I could not compete with that kind of VC money so I gave up (I felt that open source did not stand a chance in that industry against the 'as-a-service' model). It was my first project so I wasn't too disappointed; it was mostly a learning experience. It was good to know that I could at least come up with the right ideas but that I had to improve execution. Also, picking an area/industry where open source software can thrive is important. Open source is not easy; it still has to compete with big advertising dollars and VC money.

I've been working on my second open source project for almost 4 years now. It's quite well known in its area (it got traction pretty soon after launch and kept growing steadily).

Looking back, it does feel like I could have spent my time on more lucrative things; but the problem with money is that everyone wants it; so things get very competitive and marketing-oriented. So maybe from a career/networking point of view, my open source work wasn't a bad ROI after all... For a side hustle.
Not going to say exactly where, just in case it's still like that (which I doubt, because this is a story from the early 90's), but... When I was a teenager, I used to skip school a lot and spend time in and around the university library that was several blocks away from the high school. They had maybe four floors of books, and they were protected by the same kind of anti-shoplifting tag system they use in stores now. The basement floor had a section of the library that hadn't yet been upgraded from the Dewey Decimal System, and if you hunted around, you could find books from the 1700s or earlier.

At any rate, they had two security flaws that would have made it very easy to loot: First, they were apparently giving priority to new books while installing security tags, and the vast majority of the books in the "old" section didn't have them. Second, they'd inexplicably rerouted traffic inside the lower section such that you could get to the rest of the library via one route without being scanned, but you could pass through a scanner via another route, without ever leaving the secure area. So the scam would be to root around and find an ancient and valuable tome in the old section, exit to the rest of the library, then come back in the other direction to test whether it would trigger the alarm. If it did, you'd just explain that you were returning from one of the upper floors. If it didn't, then you could throw the book in your backpack and walk out the front door with it.

(Needless to say, I took the square route in life and never became a dark and sinister merchant of purloined books.)
Yes. This is exceptionally beneficial in terms of testing and experimentation. Virtual machines in the cloud shine for non perpetual workloads, such as learning and experimentation. They shine less for long term (3yr+), stable workloads, where buying hardware and layering on something like Azure Stack, can save a company huge amounts of money.
Another interesting use case is for supply chain management, since the history of a interactions relating product can be documented in a secure manner Eg. you can buy a nike shoe that you can cryptographically validate that it was signed off by Nike, who made it, when they made it, when it was shipped, and even how much each of these parties got paid for their service. (Take a listen here: https://media.consensys.net/state-change-44-shining-a-light-...)
No, I actually believe at that level, job changes are extremely rare unless they are retiring or find an offer they cannot refuse (a big step up, like CTO of Google, etc.).
I'd like to see this self-contained. It looks like if I want to share a mesh with someone, I need them to be familiar with developer build processes (needing npm or yarn, etc; and including having Electron installed? not sure yet, since I haven't been able to try it out and poke at it yet—my case in point, really)

I'd rather be able to send anyone my-data.mesh.html, they double click it, it opens in their browser, they can modify it at will, and there's a button that's functionally equivalent to a Save button to let them overwrite the orginal file. (Like a quine on steroids. Think TiddlyWiki.) This can be done, the only problem is that you don't get the typical Ctrl+S workflow—you use the in-page button instead, and it wouldn't let you get around the "Save As" dialog, but I'm thinking it should be only a minor nuisance.

If you do it right, you could even standardize your serialization so that other tools could ingest a meshfile.

This is really neat, and I'm going to play with it tomorrow.
Chrome has supported lazy loading for a while now. I unfortunately can't find this reference, but I remember it being announced as part of release notes many months ago.

I have the problem of moving a tab to a new window, and then 15 minutes later I have 15 tabs open. So I often have a few Chrome windows open at any point.

If I restart Chrome, only the focused tabs on each window are loaded.

The point about operations is a very, very valid constraint of REST. Easy and common stuff like, "run this thing in the background", "send of this one, ephemeral, message" are very unnatural. Maybe a hybrid / bastard child of REST and gRPC would be a good marriage of resource and operations modelling.

So a subkey is aware of all revocations from before it was generated?

If I generate 2 subkeys, can they both encrypt and decrypt my passwords? The only difference is that I can revoke them independently?
Speaking strictly for me: tabs with articles I urgently need to read, tabs with articles that I really ought to have read, tabs with articles that I've long since forgotten to close. All the same, really, just with varying degrees of guilt. Also, um, Google searches for quick notes that I couldn't be bothered to open an actual note-taking application for.
