I have been attempting to create a todo tracker for myself, but my problem have been finding a suitable interface.

Currently i combine vimwikis diary function and taskwiki to integrate todo filtering and have taskwarrior as the backend. The way it works is that i have a template with a list of viewports from taskwiki. These gets initialized everyday and clears out any done todos. I can still retrieve todos, and i can see the history and context when todos was done when visiting old diaries generated by vimwiki.

I hope this solves my problem of remembering todos, i have yet to notice any difference.
This is exactly the issue. It’s not that all $manufacturing_demographic have issues showing up up, working, or are doing drugs, it’s that the pool has been almost picked clean of those who don’t.

It wouldn't matter as non-technical users would use the default store as today.
No, the issue was that he was using a display with a crazy amount of buffering because they were doing so much filtering and doing it poorly.

I meant the discussion on HN wont be. This is absolutely a political maneuver bought by lobbyist. People on HN will be upset that it will be more difficult to 'disrupt' and 'hack' on the established.
"He was also asked about the relationship of this work to coreboot. Minnich said that coreboot should always be preferred, but it has not been available for server platforms for 12 years. So he would suggest that developers "always use coreboot if you can", but if not, look at NERF.""

I know some people like being retro with old ThinkPads but 12 year old servers are a bit much.
This is pretty much my setup. Higher quality TN panels don't have that much of a dropoff from median quality IPS panels.
Being President means that analysis articles on national political/economic issues tend to mention their relation to your administration and it's policies. This is by no means new with Trump.
The people who broke into the FBI office uncovered, as they suspected, a massive illegal FBI program to surveil and disrupt entirely legitimate political opposition (among others). This was a direct and real threat to democracy.

Snowden collected gigabytes classified documents the vast majority of which had nothing to do with anything questionable. The program he revealed was not obviously illegal and, however distasteful, compared to NSA programs that came to light just a few years before that, small potatoes. His trove then ended up in the hands of unfriendly intelligence services.

It doesn't take mental contortions to view them quite differently.
There wasn't money to be made for most of that time. Once there was and utilities discovered they wouldn't get much of it and started to mess about, rules were introduced.
> they were incorrect in what they admitted to their category of the various states of matter, but they still categorized fire as a state of matter and as such categorized the world by states of matter.

No they didn't. Why do you say so?
1. Tele-inspection of the job.
2. Ship parts required. Tools can come in the same box which then needs to be returned after the job.
3. Tele-supervise the job
This doesn't quite work. The official reason for firing me had nothing to do with my narcolepsy, for example. It would normally be a minor infraction. But when someone wants to get rid of you for showing up late, they can almost always find a way.

And then you're in a situation where you've raised litigation at past employers, and that will follow you around.

The point is, the worst possible situation to be in is that everyone knows you're narcoleptic and knows you're not choosy about raising legal action. No one will touch you. The best option seems to be to conceal it and part ways as amicably as possible.

I don't believe I agree completely. While I think that productivity can be lowered substantially while not being engaged by a problem, I do believe one can push through and solve it.

I've worked in jobs I wasn't engaged by, was able to finish university (not fun), and am starting to get bored at my current job, but I can't leave just yet due to external circumstances. I believe character is a big part of it, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm posting to hacker news during work hours.
> The string "gimme gimme gimme" can be found in RHEL, OpenSUSE, Fedora, Debian and probably more, so it's not really distro specific. You can grep your man binary to verify.

exactly that.
Is there a link to the plan ?
Not having slowdowns like you, nor tabs crashing. Reminds me of when Chrome first came out, I ditched Firefox, till I realized Chrome didn't have proper adblocking, and when they did it was awful compared to Firefox's adblocker. It's improved since, but I'm not interested in Chrome since. Firefox has only gotten better and better for me. I guess everyone will experience the new versions differently.
> But seriously, who uses a documentation tool for automated tests every minute? That use case is just insane and out of the scope of man IMHO.

It seems that it's not being triggered every minute:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/405783/why-does-man... . (In fact, I can't find, even in the pre-editing version of the post, any reference to it happening every minute; but probably I'm just missing it.)
As I understand it:

- Compositing is done on the GPU

- BitBlt is done on the CPU

- Copies from GPU -> CPU are slow

So, yeah, compositing adds a frame of VSync latency, but these measurements are complete bunkum.
Certainly not humor. I've met with my republican legislators (well, met with staffers at one, called others) - their official position really is that Net Neutrality is BigGovernment(tm) and they need to get rid of it to protect the little guy.

The problem is that it is working. It drives me up a wall to try to explain this to nontechnical conservatives. They actually think that this is a good thing that will increase the amount of liberty they have in their lives.
Type safe go bindings to interact with chrome remote interface
It is likely impossible to devise a secure and reliable operating system. Why not change the problem statement to something with a solution? How can a system survive a successful hack or virus infection with minimal damage?

A system can be built with functionality distributed across many computers. Message communication between computers can be routed through a central hub with a white list to ensure only the passage of a legal message. A message can travel two paths (through two central hubs) for reliability.

An infrastructure called SoftEcoSDK contains mechanisms to help programs achieve a secure and reliable system. There is a client to server mechanism that helps to recover a client work session or a server work session after a failure. Visit SoftEcoSDK.com for more details.
Oh. This explains why the cursor flickers briefly and gets drawn partially across multiple monitors when at the split instead of the normal mouse cursor which is drawn only on one monitor at a given time.
I also noticed that there's a lot more compositing latency on MacOS
The risk is pretty high, too. Instead of a $300 p-trap replacement, you can do it yourself, but if you do it wrong, you can have 4-5 figures of accidental water damage to the house.

Recovering Anonymized Social Graphs
Maybe I'm lone dissenter, but I don't understand the push back on this. People who read hacker news should be among the elite technologist, do we really all believe that every packet should be treated the same?

Should an E911 call or tele-surgery packets really be treated the same as Netflix? Net neutrality forces the ISP to do that and that seems like madness to me.
I use GTD and handle the thing you're talking about in the classification process. Everything I think I might want to do goes into my OmniFocus inbox. Everything. This gets it out of my mind and I can stop thinking about it.

Then, unless it's time-sensitive, I let it sit there for a couple of days at least. When I sit down to sweep through my inbox, I toss out the stuff that doesn't hold up. "Check the van's mileage for an oil change"? Keep. "Buy that dog t-shirt for my wife for Christmas"? Yeah, she'll still like that. "Turn the lawn chair into a pilotable drone"? That sounded like a great idea at the moment but I'll never actually do it: delete.

I also have a weekly review where I'm pretty ruthless about pruning stuff. "I've been thinking about doing X for the last year, but if I was actually going to do it, I'd have done it by now. Goodbye!"

At the end of this, I have a very manageable set of actions that I actually intend to follow through on. Knowing that I don't have to remember each of them is hugely liberating to me.

If one takes the view that Clinton and her cabal have engaged in heinous crimes for the last 30 years, then its a simple matter of the lesser evil. I really think he feels this way, as do many supporters of Wikileaks.

Plus, there's the whole "drain the swamp" thing that Trump promised, as an outsider, to execute. So I don't think its so much that Wikileaks decided to become pro-R, just that Trump very definitely had/has the opportunity to shake up the incumbents and alter the status quo, and this is also in alignment with Wikileaks' stated goals. So, there's that.

>> If you were to demonstrate that it's universal

> I really wasn't. I was just making a point that it's not just Linux-specific like you claimed.

I never claimed it's Linux only, only that there are other systems with
different semantics.

>> And by the way, filesystems are typically implemented in kernel, so saying that it's not kernel that handles them is somewhat misguided.

> Well yes file systems generally are, except when they are not. For example ntfs-3g [...]

...except that FUSE is in-kernel mechanism to delegate VFS callbacks to
userspace program. It's hard to argue in such a case that the work is not the
kernel's responsibility.

> What the argument is about is whether the permission logic described (specifically the setgid bit on folders) is handled by the file system code or externally to the file system code in other parts of the kernel

Oh. This explains quite a bit, because I thought the argument was about
whether the OS' usual semantics (group being inherited from directory or from
EGID) are like that or not, not where in kernel this behaviour is coded.

> You're making the case that the behavior is independent to the file system implementation [...]

No, I'm making the case that Linux usually works one way, and BSD usually
works the other way. I never claimed that anything was coded in any specific
kernel subsystem, so don't add the statement yourself.

Of course they know. FOMO is a real thing evolved into your brain over millions of years in which being apart from the tribe meant greatly reduced chances of survival. When FB sends you a notification to say "your friends are doing something without you" they are knowingly and deliberately pushing that button.
People are dropping cable due to the heavy-handed control and lack of choice. Why would ISPs want emulate that failing model?

If Comcast is going to try to charge me more to be able to access Netflix, I'm gone.

Has the word 'milquetoast' recently increased in usage by several orders of magnitude? I seem to be seeing it a lot. I suppose words go viral like any other meme.
Really? Every thread on HN I've seen about ME has been hordes of people lamenting the fact that you can't buy a processor without it.
It's not overrated. Comcast and Verizon were already caught drastically slowing down Netflix and Youtube the last time around, before the net neutrality rules passed, until those companies "paid up".

Netflix and Youtube are probably safe from such actions now, but what about the much smaller services that try to compete with Youtube or Netflix, or podcast platforms, and so on?

Also this recently happened in Portugal, where technically there are some net neutrality rules now, but the current Commission canceled the previous Commission/Neelie Kroes' proposal to ban zero-rating. And since that meant they were allowed to do this sort of stuff, they went right ahead and did it:

This is way more likely to happen in the U.S., where internet companies have local monopolies.
Do you detect bias in the reviews ?
Used to work for a local ISP (ILEC). "Deregulation" isn't a real thing until they remove the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) and competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) regional monopolies enforced by law.

Until that happens, all this does is screw consumers. Honestly, internet service needs to be declared a public utility.
It'll be either an increase in wages, or increase in visas for that kind of labor from overseas.
The rules (both the current ones and the prior effort that was struck down) were adopted in responses to changes of behavior by ISPs from their historical, basically neutral, behavior which the FCC first tried and failed to address by lighter-touch, case-by-case action. The Comcast BitTorrent-blocking case is perhaps the best known of the early cases.

Wayland does everything with compositing. The Wayland people love v-sync because they hate tearing. So chances are that this effect applies...
Scheduled inter-city buses were not allowed in Germany until 2013, it's hardly surprising that only four years later, everything is still somewhat new and shiny. I'd be careful to draw long term conclusions.
To just equal Comcast's estimated lobbying budget of $20 million, it would require somewhere north of 300,000 people all contributing $5 a month. Given you'd also be fighting against Verizon, Google, Netflix, and any number of other companies, you'd probably need a member count close to a million to make anything resembling headway.

A million members making reoccurring contributions is beyond what is realistic, IMO.

Gig jobs are fine if people can provide their own emergency fund and pay out of pocket for their own benefits. That is, the difference between "gig job" and a "successful sole proprietorship" is how much money one makes.

> Is the illegal crossing number wrong/fake news?

Given that they’re illegal, how could we ever know if the number is down or if they just found some other way to cross the border?

Also, it would be quite foolish to think there is only a single factor affecting wages. There are a multitude of factors, and a reduction in the number of illegal immigrants might be one of them, although it’s hard to be sure.
In the 1940s most jobs did depend on coworkers being there. If even one person is missing the entire assembly line is down and nobody can start. As such being a minute late for work affects all your coworkers, it isn't just you have leaves at 5:05 instead of 5:00 it is everybody else you work with. And yes everybody did leave on time (or everybody worked late). Of course that means you hire extra people to cover people who are sick, but lateness cannot be tolerated.

Things are very different. My first meeting is at 9am, and nobody has any reason to care if I work 4am - noon or 9am-5pm, or more likely 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break.
"Net neutrality" is one of the most Orwellian terms in modern usage.

It's a corporate welfare play by large tech companies to "solve" a "problem" that nobody can identify. It's pre-emptive, busy-body regulation at its worst.

Who was being harmed in the first 20 years of the internet without these regulations?
Whose lives have been made better? Compared to what?

Net neutrality advocates are utterly unable to give convincing answers to these questions.
F.C.C. Announces Plan to Repeal Net Neutrality
> I assume you are hinting at app operator will sell user’s data? Or do you mean parent’s network provider does?

Yes and yes. ISPs are racing as we speak to develop the technology to data mine their users and inject their own ads. Hopefully we will get the web encrypted fast enough to make it less economically attractive.

They want to know which sites you visit, what you search for, which movies you watch and what you shop for, and package it and sell it to anyone who will pay.

Individual developers could do the same, and we should find ways to prevent that, but they have less negotiating and lobbying power and users have more choice in what apps to use.
Google, Facebook, Netflix and Amazon should just start charging ISPs a per user fee to similar to how cable channels work. If ISPs don't pay, they should display ISP's phone number and ask the customer to call their local ISP and demand access. Content is king even in you have a monopoly on distribution .
ACLU: What is Net-Neutrality?
That's an even more specific case, because again, most software developers aren't working at Google/FB/Airbnb/Uber/Snap. And those are figures for experienced workers to boot, and "Staff Engineer" is typically a managerial role IMO, if not directly by delegation/HR-type stuff, then in a technical sense.

The total comp is in practice also generally a bit lower because most of those companies backload the vesting
Freedom for ISPs, right? And for enterprises to buy preferential connectivity. For the rest of us, not so much :(
I don't understand why someone hasn't come out with a dedicated keyboard chip yet. If it's cheap enough you don't need to run all the keys to a single chip, you could have multiple chips that all talk over a serial bus to one that it designated the master.

I have a transwarped IIGS, which for CPU benchmarks is slower than most of the modern emulators, but on the actual hardware its pretty amazing (particularly since it boots faster from a compaq flash card than most win10 PC's i've seen). I would guess that a USB keyboard->windows->emulator->app response->draw->Emulator->windows->gpu path is much, much longer than the IIGS keyboard poll rate draw cycle even given the 1000 cycle/sec advantage a modern PC has.

It's shipped with Google services, but the updater lets you change to without Google services without hassle.
Except in this case all of the entrenched, large internet businesses (Google, Facebook, etc) are against ending net neutrality. You would think that since they have the deep pockets to pay ISPs, they would be the beneficiaries. So are they protesting this action simply out of principal? Or is there some other benefit they get from net neutrality that I'm not seeing?

Clipboard and selection handling is a massive PITA in webdev. On the flipside it "enables" such creative solutions like that pesky text selection bubble on medium.
Google and Netflix are both pro-neutrality, not anti-; you'd be lobbying with rather than against them on this issue.
It shouldn't be up to the individual and profit-seeking ISPs to decide that E911 and tele-surgery packets get priority. If there's a QoS concern for something, and it's deemed important enough, this is a perfectly rational place for regulation to step in and mandate it from every ISP equally.
Since robotics are almost a field of AI it seems like it has inherited the premise that once it has been completed or in production it ceases to be called robotics .
Vimium is nice, but if you've used VimFX/Pentadactyl or other XUL based VIM addons, the WebExtension versions are lacking in important ways.

The biggest problem I have with them right now is that FF entirely prevents addons from working in "system" pages like the settings pages or the new tab page (NB this includes some actual web pages that Mozilla has "blessed"). Another problem is that there is no way to focus the address bar programmatically, forcing addons to use clunky workarounds like the Vimium omnibar, which has an inconsistent UX compared to the rest of the system.

Hotkeys, especially in a VIM-oriented model, must work consistently across the entire experience, and Mozilla has decided to explicitly disallow this for addons.

Vimium is better than nothing, but due to limitations of the WebExtension system, is strictly incapable of providing the browsing experience that I'm used to. In its current state, it is not a suitable replacement for me.

The same is true for the various mouse-gestures addons.
Yeah, having to synchronize multiple windows is probably a pain. I guess that's a much smaller issue with a VR application (the OpenVR compositor supports overlays, but they're not used that often, and there's a clear priority to the "main" VR content)

I guess a valid approach would be to double buffer all windows on the compositor side, and render the "stale" buffer of any window that fails to update within a specified frame budget (16ms - expected compositing time), that way at least well behaved apps would have no noticeable latency. There would probably need to be some level of coordination with apps that already do their own double buffering, not sure how that's currently handled. Perhaps a hybrid approach between compositing and direct rendering is also possible, where different screen regions get composited at different frame rates. (Should work as long as there's no transparency involved)
