The index card version of that note-taking system sounds somewhat like Niklas Luhmann's zettelkasten or Pile of Index Cards, which have both had some posts describing them linked on HN previously:

Another HN post from the zettelkasten.de domain had a comment with a link to this project on Github, which sounds a lot like the filename-based system you mention, at least in terms of putting all the info into the filename:

Maybe it's not the one you were looking for, but could be useful anyway?
The top is predicated on the existence of the bottom. I watched some of the royal wedding the other day, that family has not worked in living memory, or perhaps even historical memory.

Heirs live in luxury without need of work because what used to be called the reserve army of labor is used as a bulwark against those working, which in cause generates those profits. Wealth created by those who work, expropriated by heirs who do not work. So, as I said, the top is predicated on the existence of the bottom.
Yes, excellent video, I love that series.

Can't recommend it enough, explains why size matters and how mass, surface and volume cause these effects.
And the fact that selling personal information isn't the only concern with personal information. I'm pretty sure that Facebook and Google don't sell my personal information to third party entities, but I still don't want them to have it unless I give it to them by choice.

Interesting that BCH and DOGE cost about the same but differ in market cap by a factor of 40:

Yes things like surveying and mapping was what I was thinking—similar.
I usually place the fan so it faces outside. I figure out which way the wind is blowing, open two windows on opposite ends of the room/house that correspond with the wind direction, and then place the fan, facing out, on the downwind end of the room/house. My thinking is that the wind will push itself into the house through the fan-less open window, but that it will then lose momentum. Then, the fan on the downwind side of the house will help pull the air back out of the house, creating circulation that doesn't have to fight against the wind.

Recently, I bought a whole-house attic fan. Now, I open a window on the upwind side of the house and turn on the attic fan, which is enough to suck a toupee off someone's head. The attic fan both circulates cooler air and also clears out the hot air built up in the attic, which helps a lot.
Yes, that is correct. If it is > 100%, there is enough hashing power available to complete the attack, but you could be outbid during the attack. NiceHash has the concept of fixed contracts that allow you to lock in a price for up to 24 hours and no one can outbid you. Typically ~30% of the hashing power is available this way.
The way I see Shadow DOM is that it's an environment for an encapsulated web component or embedded app to run within. Most frameworks can be mounted to the DOM at a single spot, so should be pretty compatible, I would think.

There are also a lot of existing web components libraries that have been developed in anticipation of first class support for Shadow DOM in all browsers. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Components#Libraries

Never said intuitive, but that construct is EXTREMELY useful for things like "no results found" and such, when a list of items is empty. Therefore, it is usually explained quite early and used often in template languages that have it. This is the first time I've seen python's, after dealing with several large codebases written in python.
I think that varies from person to person. Some people seem to be able to decide they're going to get into a routine and they just do it. Others seem to really struggle. Plus, starting a routine seems to be much more difficult than breaking it.

But the all-or-nothing attitude I mentioned above is problematic if someone has in mind that they're going to work out for an hour in the morning. For one reason or another they suddenly only have 45, 30 or 15 minutes for a workout and they write it off because they don't have time for their "workout" rather than using the time they do have.

But even if one only has 5 minutes you can make something with that time, whether it's a set of pushups, squats, mobility work or a quick jog. Then later in the day if one finds another window do something then.

IMO the best approach is try to move 5 minutes a day, everyday, regardless of the form it takes. Build the habit that you do something every day. Then build from there. Modulate intensity and movements. If you can do more do it, if you can't, don't stress over it.
I use a timer app called Timeglass and have timers for 'social' 'news' etc. And an app called Moment which tracks pickups and total time.
I am an IRC operator of nearly 20 years; and I guess I'm here to say: "it depends".

Speaking about IRC as if all IRC servers that came before are all IRC is capable of is.. odd.. it would be trivial to create an inspircd module that pushed data into elasticsearch.. At the same time, clients log by default too, they just don't expose a way of searching the logs they generate..

IRC is a (dated, stateful connection based) protocol; nothing more, it's a shame there are not nicer clients because of all the functionality slack has; are easily "add"-able to IRC, bar one- it's ability to handle network disconnections well.

IRC+Bouncer is how most people interact with IRC today; however it's a workaround for a problem users should not have.

There is a company called IRCCloud who are attempting to make IRC easy to use, much in the way slack do by operating a webclient+bouncer bundle for you.. You could also self-host something like "The Lounge" which does effectively the same thing: https://github.com/thelounge (I am not affiliated with either).

However I'm aware that the above options are both significant barriers to entry when compared to slack. that is the _real_ value of slack, onboarding people into a slack discussion is a breeze, and once you have someone there there's no tangible reason to move to something else.
Well, some people do, for instance me :)

this is their homepage https://www.caprivacy.org/about - they should at least implement the conspicuous "Do not sell my personal information" link on their own website. Just to get an idea about the extra work that they're asking millions of people to do.

Too many people are working in public facing jobs despite having no talent for such work. I'm not surprised they find it stressful.
Can't most (or at least, many) of these BLE fitness bands act as music controls for smartphones already? I know that every smartwatch under the sun does this, and since it's just a software feature, I feel it's such low-hanging fruit that every off-brand manufacturer must have implemented it a long time ago. But maybe I'm wrong?
Yes, that is the core thesis of the article.

For the last 30 years, that tiny fraction (0.1%, correcting what I assume was a typo/misread) has seen their overall share grow.

Thirty years ago, that 90% possessed 35% of the wealth. Today, that 90% possesses 20% of the wealth.

The 9.9% near (but not at) the top has maintained their wealth over the last 30 years.

The culture problems of this tier of American society may not be as obvious to you, but I assure you, the answer to your question is yes.
I can't really say. This particular area isn't really my specialty, but cursory Google searches yielded some interesting links.

From what I remember, there are techniques to cull voxels that aren't visible. So it's possible some of them don't even matter when doing calculation. See:
https://tomcc.github.io/2014/08/31/visibility-1.html
https://tomcc.github.io/2014/08/31/visibility-2.html

From what I gather, the biggest issue with Voxel are lack of proper hardware support, forcing you to render more using software.
Add call centers to that. I basically had jobs in every position of the customer side, and it really helps you to understand many things.
The data source of this report is the 2016 Survey of Consumer Finance [1] and they prepared a separate report [2] looking specifically at wealth-holding by race and ethnicity.

> In 2016, white families had the highest level of both median and mean family wealth: $171,000 and $933,700, respectively (figure 1). Black and Hispanic families have considerably less wealth than white families. Black families' median and mean net worth is less than 15 percent that of white families, at $17,600 and $138,200, respectively. Hispanic families' median and mean net worth was $20,700 and $191,200, respectively.

Fun!
Yeah, wes stored our data as slices for space and restricted rotation to the Y axis. Both were optimization s since each frame of an animation was a full model there was no need to rotate them. The rendered could render them from any angle though so I still consider them voxels. More like voxels lite then voxel plus.
We also used a lot of sprite cards with zdepth and a quick normal hack for lighting. You had to cut corners where you could back then!!
This is a totally misleading calculation for the largest currencies. It's literally quoting the spot price for what's available on NiceHash and then dividing by the fraction you'd have of the total hash rate.

In reality, as you continued buying up hashing power, the price of the remaining hashing power would go up precipitously. This is basic supply and demand.
He never said it was worse, just that it is bad. Both of these are bad.

We're still trying to do that with the Haiku project, though we don't have time to write nearly as comprehensive engineering notes as BeOS did, though every now and again for major feature merges we get a writeup (e.g. https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/axeld/2015-07-17_introducing_l...).
By this strange definition my desire to live as a beggar in Thailand for 10 years to meditate find my inner self even though I might hypothetically make $1M/yr now working in an office iseconomically rational.

When people (including myself) say that something is economically rational it's commonly understood to mean that any given person wouldn't make the same choice if given the choice, not that you can't find an example of someone who'll do otherwise.

In other words talking about something being "economically rational" is the other side of there being an "economic incentive".

In this case the economic incentives of not just throwing away plastics aren't aligned with the desired effect. This is a classic example of an externality coupled with the tragedy of the commons.
Agree completely. Also, (relevant to HN) everyone who writes software or designs computer products should spend some time doing tech customer support. I'm sure we'd end up with better products.
The Crays look futuristic even by today's standards. Having a supercomputer that could kill you with poisonous gas is the epitome of futuristic.
To be honest, I think you could even reap the benefits of arbitraging hash difficulty. Eg. just as a new difficulty level is set, flood the network with additional nodes and hash away till the next difficulty update. Then kill the nodes, and wait for difficulty to adjust up and then back down, and then attack again.
That is why I included the NiceHash % for each coin. NiceHash offers fixed price contracts, typically for ~30% of their supply that you can lock in for up to 24 hours.

It's definitely a lot less do-able for the larger currencies - I still think PoW is a good option for them honestly. This was more to show that 51% attack risk is problematic for smaller coins, and I'd love to hear a discussion on the best way to fix this.
36K was my starting salary to when I started working about 8 years ago.

In the Paris area it's a standard salary for a junior developer fresh out of engineering school.

It can be higher if you are coming from a top school like Centrale or Supelec (~38/40k). It can also be higher if you work in banks/finance.

I'm not 100% sure, but 30K could be a medium salary for students fresh out of IUTs (2 years professional formation after high-school). But most of the time, the best students will continue for another 3 years in an engineering schools.

But keep in mind that 36k a year before YOUR income taxes ("salaire brut"). Before that, the employer has to pay his side of the taxes/social security ("charges patronales"). In the end, he has to pay around 4 for 5k per month if I recall correctly (sorry, I don't have the exact figures), which means roughly 50k to 60k a year. You can take a look at your payslips for the exact figures.
I'm no lawyer, but I believe Terry Stops are about having to produce identification on demand (e.g. while walking down the sidewalk). When you're driving a car on public roads, you have to produce a valid license and proof of insurance (in every state I'm aware of) on demand.

If you're a passenger, then it's reasonable to refuse to produce ID, but if you're the driver then I don't know how you can argue that you don't need to.
University fined £120,000 for data breach
IIRC, Angular already ships with its own similar polyfill, so I'd guess it tries to fallback to native if possible. React doesn't really concern itself with styles anyway, though I guess they might need/want to make sure they're not standing in the way of using the shadow DOM.

Of the less-major ones, I only know that Polymer uses it - which makes sense, since this is one of the APIs it was explicitly created to push.
In my computer setups, I place three intake fans each on both the front and bottom of the case and then place two exhaust fans each on the top and back. Again (see my other post), the idea is to maintain the natural airflow. Since heat rises, I want my exhaust fans to assist with that natural flow rather than fight against it.

I wasn't aware of being able to explicitly allow in some css.

It sounds like a powerful way to make reusable components where some css can't be overridden because it would break the component (eg. Layout, shape) while allowing other parts to be overridden (colour, size, font, etc.)
You both missed the point, which is - for such use cases, Slack is even worse than an old school IRC.

And yet they still lobbied against it.
to be clear, I am not criticizing the author for not explicitly using the term "zero-sum game"; however dysfunctional the economy may be, it is clearly not that. I am criticizing the author for writing about relative gains using language (e.g. "pie", "taking from", "giving up") that is clearly evocative of a zero sum game. it encourages the uncareful reader to conflate absolute and relative gains.
You'd get perhaps ~51% of the blocks over a one hour period, though that's an average on a bell-curve. With only about six blocks in play for Bitcoin you could hope to score three at best. That's a $361K average gain.

You'd make way more money on some kind of double-spend attack. If you've got 51% for sure you would probably hit up multiple exchanges at the same time to magnify your reward.
mhtml-mode sounds interesting, I've been using http://web-mode.org/ to get the same handling of nested CSS/JS in HTML-files.
I think that we should let students from poor towns go to awesome schools in rich towns even if they aren’t residents of the rich town. The wealthy self-segregate by limiting low-income housing in their area to keep out the poors.

Similarly I think it should be easy to create a new school (charter or whatever you want to call it) to compete with bad schools in poor districts.

But even without option 2, option 1 would be great. Would also let rich kids interact with poor kids which will benefit everyone.
Can I pose a similar question? I have a cieling fan in my conservatory that can blow up or down. Which way is better? It is pretty close to the cieling if that matters.
I'd shingle roofs all day if it meant not having to deal with people. People are the worst.
I believe this has to do with the level of fuck you money made by early devs of these systems and the nature of liquidity in crypto. I'm sitting here working on my non-blockchain product, exhausted after a long weekend of work and mentally preparing for another week of it. I can assure you if there were 10 million plus in my bank account I would have taken the weekend off and explored some of my less profitable interests. I would have written code, read papers, and all of that, just in a more relaxed way. Instead I focused solely on making the product of my business better. Unlike a tokenized system, I can only liquidate the value I have created once I have taken it to the finish line. Myself and my team won't be fat and happy until we get there.

I've had a few people hand wave this explanation, but I've been involved with Ethereum for about 2 1/2 years and this absolutely happens. Productive work is rarely the work that makes us happiest in the moment. That's why we must force founders to hold out for liquidity.
As well as the price of course.
This is a great rebuttal. We seem to ignore that wealth changes over a person's life.

When average wages are dropping, are they actually dropping or are wealthy people leaving the workforce at a greater rate than lower income people (just starting their careers) entering it?

Kind of what we'd expect when the baby boomers retire, no?
The problem is while it has a volume comparable to Earth, its mass is comparable to Sol! It would take an unbelievable amount of energy to move something so massive from its original position to a collision course with another body. With a fraction of that energy you could pummel a planet with a swarm of tens of thousands of giant asteroids for years.
Moreover, "removing OOBGC reduced average response times by about 25%". CPU utilisation is a pretty terrible metric on its own; once you've paid for a CPU, you might as well run it at 100%!
Having worked at a high profile government contractor, my observation is that you don't get the same kind of leverage other folks report. Also, the bidding process is cuthroat and subject to public scrutiny here.

Now if you're taking about security contractors, that's different and the same the whole world over I guess.
Fun!

That's because everything is structured around that, especially housing and banking, there is ZERO flexibility there.

My major fear living in Paris is losing my apartment while being between jobs or even still in the trial period.
This is why I have zero interest in travelling to or through the US as a tourist. The risk to reward ratio is too great for me - there's much better places to go visit where there's a smaller chance of being fucked over by a border patrol agent.

As the cookbook collector in question, there are undoubtedly larger collections. The point, however, is that in Guinness World Records, it is the largest collection at this time, since I went through the process to gain the record. Others may challenge it, which is great. Lots of public libraries, like New York, have a far greater number of cookbooks than I do, however, they have not applied to Guinness World Records to achieve the "official" record. Essentially, it is sort of like the lottery: you can't win if you don't buy a ticket! Thanks for your comment.
I didn't find this document to be easier to understand than any other guide I've seen. I'd say the introduction to calculus in Susskind's The Theoretical Minimum to be vastly better.

Tesla Model 3 Sets Record Distance on a Single Charge, but It Won't Recharge
yeah but you’re comparing 20 year olds with no money saved to 70 year olds who are retiring and have a house. The greatest inequality is actually between age but it’s obvious why.
But they don't have the same state. Some of them are half run. Some of them have sound off. Some are paused or playing. One is selected.

Is the state separated from structure ?

Whole house fans are great. They cool the house, clear out the 150º air radiating from the attic, and also take a lot less energy than air-conditioners. I use both, but my air-conditioner runs a lot less since I installed the attic fan.
I find this an interesting contrast to Go's move towards a "request-oriented collector":

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gCsFxXamW8RRvOe5hECz98Ft...

Perhaps a key difference is this point from the Github document:

"Since the OOBGC runs the GC after the response is finished, it can cause the web worker to take longer in order to be ready to process the next incoming request. This means that clients can suffer from latency due to queuing wait times."

It seems like a little bit more intelligence in the load balancer that sits in front of the application servers would go a long way here. Could it only route requests to servers which have finished garbage collecting and are ready to serve again?
Um, what? I have a shadow DOM experiment from 2016 that's worked on Firefox since then... (an over-engineered webcomic tracker, I use it almost every day)
