Hello HN,

we built this web app which enables you to structure ideas, thoughts and your projects.

It offers a similar flexibility in building hierarchy as OmniFocus. Just without being tied to apple or a missing web interface.
One of the main reasons why we started this project.

I want to highlight one feature that I never seen anywhere else. There is no difference between tasks, projects or folders. It works based on your hierarchy, for example an idea become a project when you add a "subtask". The app has no limit on how deep you nest and offers an extra view that filter all actionable next steps out of your hierarchy.

It is a progressive web app, so you are able to add it to your mobile homescreen and use it offline. You can also encrypt your data with your login password.

I am excited to get your thoughts about the app or any questions.

> Does not need to be trained? The writer maybe wanted to say it does not need to be programmed in the traditional way.

There are two ways to build spiking neural net architectures without training. The [Neural Engineering Framework](https://medium.com/@seanaubin/a-way-around-the-coming-perfor...) and [Deneve's approach which I'm more uncertain about](https://forum.nengo.ai/t/robustness-of-deneves-networks/320?...).

To be clear, when I say "training" in this context, I mean they don't require iterative rounds of stochastic gradient descent. They just need to be given the function that you want to approximate and then they're done.

Every human has a fundamental inalienable right to visit every single part of the earth unhindered if they wish - not a right to make it their home - but to see and appreciate the planet they live on without constraints. This is basic humanism.

* But they also take money for handling transactions at terminals, etc.

There's a huge difference between someone who comes to live permanently in the country and someone who is looking at trees for a week. Do you think the US has the infrastructure available to screen the facebooks of all 75 million tourists who come to the US every year? IMHO this is not an overstep and current US citizens should have at least cursory understanding of who someone is when they are coming to live permanently in our country.

Usually I ignore comments like this, but the author of the post is actually coming through and responding to comments, and I appreciate that.

You're leveling the criticism that since his blog deals with a niche that he should drop to a mailing list. Seriously? HN has been developing a bad reputation, and nitpicky comments presented without decorum create an incentive for people to stay away.

It's perfectly reasonably for the author of a blog post to assume that people familiar with his blog, his usual readers, will know what's up.

It's not too unreasonable to suggest that the author provide a summary if it's not clear what the piece or blog is about, except in this case it is described on the blog's About page on the list of open source projects. Redefining all of these things in every post would get annoying very fast.

It's reasonable to say that people working with statistical and data computing are likely as aware of Pandas as a web developer is aware of several of the largest JavaScript libraries.
This is great news.

The sooner this gets rolled out as a standard Google Maps feature the better. I fully expect that property prices would change quite significantly if this data was easily Googleable. Then we might see some serious efforts to tidy up air quality.

The thing with air quality is that if it is consistently bad and you live in a city then you have no idea what clean air 'tastes' like. There are lots of people living in cities who have youth on their side and have no idea what they are really breathing.

At first I thought "how would they know that" but it's simple: establish "home" for each of a match pair and identify that both parties' devices are at one or the other "home" during certain hours after matching.

In that sense, it's more than just data, it's inference, and that's almost worse as a private company's data could end up libeling you if it leaks!

Once you enable that, it still only works on applications that explicitly declare support in their manifest.

The backwards compatibility here is only in the fine details of how you deal with long paths. The old way and the new way both require application support. The new way is easier, but the old way worked fine even on XP and earlier.

This setting isn't actually future-looking. It was already possible to make these files with certain tools. And they could have let it always be on for programs that support it. This setting exists so you can signal to programs that they shouldn't use long paths, even when they are capable of it.

> The file explorer does not support it on purpose.

Sure, it's on purpose, but it's a good example of how impotent the setting is.

I like the idea but is this actually written somewhere (a treaty perhaps) or just an opinion? If an opinion I don't see why you would draw a line between visit and live.

What I understand from the rule change is that it would allow the DHS to search for you on Google and look at your Facebook and Instagram profile before granting you a greencard.

The scenario you described is a bit of a straw-man that assumes the most extreme position of every opponent you come across: that every person who believes in god is unreasonable to some extent or another. This allows you to take the extreme position of dismissing every one of your opponent's positions by assuming there is some bit of irrationality at its core instead of embracing the possibility that someone can maintain a different perspective than you and not necessarily be labeled as wrong.

Not every single opinion on the planet requires you to truly embrace the possibility that you may be wrong. But when enough people have that opinion, chances are that there is some other motivation for their belief beyond mass delusion.

I agree that a solid story is key, but I don't see the connection. Maybe for a setting where diversity is fundamentally part of it (the Discovery cast might not work well in a production of Macbeth, say) but for something like Star Trek it seems completely separate. You need a good story with a diverse cast, and you need a good story without a diverse cast.

How to build a good side project
> The office worker running VMWare Fusion to run an old Windows program or any Dropbox user with the Smart Sync feature are all semi-technical audiences that need kernel extensions for their programs to work

VMWare Fusion's .kext is signed with a certificate that's signed by Apple's Kernel signing key, so there is no need to change SIP for Fusion to run.

Besides, since, I believe Maveriks, macOS includes a hypervisor by default that could be used without requiring a kernel module to be loaded (Veertu is in the App Store and does essentially the same thing as VMWare).

Userspace-only apps don't even require a signature to launch them - you can just right-click and select "Open" on the first launch. That's a totally workable compromise.

With regards to apps that require a kernel extension, apple offers three options:

1) if you're a professional software company with a good reputation, you can negotiate to get a signing certificate that can be used to sign your kernel module. This isn't only awarded to big companies either - the makers of Little Snitch certainly don't seem to be a big enterprise and they still got that certificate.

2) For all others, Apple is starting to add more and more knobs in order to allow things that previously needed to run in kernel-space to now run in user-space (see Veertu).

3) If the thing you want to do doesn't (yet) have an official hook and if you are not a company to be trusted with a kernel module signing certificate, then, yes, you will have to force your users to disable SIP, but maybe, that application is fulfilling a very specific need so that this is ok.

Even for me as a moderately advanced user, this is an excellent compromise that provides me with a huge security benefit because even if I am tricked into giving malware my root password, it won't be able to hide its tracks.

With regards to kernel modules, btw, this is even less restrictive than Microsoft who basically only offer you option 1) on 64bit platforms. There is some sort of option 3), but it only persists for one single boot and resets itself back once you reboot the machine - plus, it's nagging you with a warning on the desktop.
That's just over a two a second - doesn't seem that challenging to do some kind of analysis given that Facebook has already done the hard work of collecting and structuring the data for you.
The actual data collected is not likely to be very valuable, but these things definitely make people think twice before they post "wrong opinions" to social media.
Actually, the EU wrote into the GDPR that they can do exactly that. Any company with data on EU citizen is liable, no matter where they got it from.
I certainly didn't when I tried it. Every Tinder user I know uses his actual FB profile.
The fact that it applies to naturalized citizens is quite scary. This is essentially creating 2 classes of Americans. Up until now, the only difference I know of between "born Americans" and "naturalized Americans" was the right to run for President. I never understood the restriction, but it's not like it impacted a lot of lives.
In American English, both "grey" and "gray" are considered acceptable and it's not uncommon to see both used here in my part of the US. Personally I usually write "grey" but if it's a particularly dark shade I might say "gray" - but that's personal preference rather than any convention I've seen elsewhere.

EDIT: There do seem to be a couple of blogs that come up in Google pushing the idea of a difference between US/UK spellings, but that's definitely not something I or most people I know grew up with. Other search results indicate that there is only a modest correlation with location. Perhaps it goes more one-way, with both being in common use in the US but "grey" exclusively preferred in the UK?
Millions of illegal immigrants roaming the streets seems to indicate otherwise.

Open the parent directory with emacs and you can use it to delete the rogue directory/file. Admittedly, there's easier ways for a "-" named file, but its a good solution to know since you can use it to delete even the most difficult filenames.
How does that saying go?

Emacs, it's a great operating system but a really lousy text editor.

When I first learned to use a computer, you were fancy if you had an amber screen. These days, I don't even get involved in the vi vs. emacs wars. Instead, I recommend gedit.

The other day, someone was pointing out that you could use one of the image libraries and browse in emacs with ASCII art images being generated on the fly. They were seemingly proud of this. I kinda felt bad for then and I wanted to send then a mouse.

I'm only half joking. So long as it works for the individual, who am I to tell them what to do? It does seem pretty crazy, but the world needs crazy people.
If your going to join data that usually means the application needs a representation of the data that is not naturally stored in 1 table. To me thats a red flag which tells me this "logic" should be stored with the app, not with the database.
As a pedestrian crossing the straw in NYC, you will typically wait for cars to stop, then walk about 2/3 of the way into the street, then peer into the bike lane to make sure no bikes are coming, then complete your crossing.
Most of the bikers, from my experience, do not follow rules such as stopping at a Stop sign or for pedestrians or at their own bike designated stop lights.

It may be nice to bike in the cities parks or on its outskirts, but it's a dangerous proposition in the city itself. NYC is an urban jungle with a web of cars pedestrians, delivery trucks, garbage trucks and construction zones all over. As a biker, if you are not going to follow the rules, you are going to find yourself in trouble at some point.
China has gone from basically poverty to the second largest economy in the world in roughly 25 years. You have to give them a little credit for doing something right.

Lack of freedom. Corruption. At the same time people are able to get job not worry about food etc. You have to look at the baseline of where they where.
