Ah, so it is different.

The Zettelkasten system seeks to save all of the cards and link to each other through a simple, but sometimes convoluted code of links. Its goal is to make all the notes into parts of a large catalogue.

Yours is more like what I'm already doing. I have a stack of wide yellow sticky papers on my desk, where I spend most of my work time. If I have an idea, I write it down on a sticky, stick it to the top-side edge of the table, and forget about it until the time of review. Once I'd transferred the notes to a more permanent storage – a to-do list or the outliner – I fold it and throw it away. (There's something more appealing to me about folding, as opposed to destroying the note.)

Using index cards might work out better for me, 'cause I'd be able to store them in a stack, rather than spread over the edge of the table. Worth looking into. Cheers!

I think it's pretty safe to say bad LEOs make the news because they're extremely rare, and the backlash against each one found signifies that the oversight exists to ensure they don't last long.

I'm kind of curious what browser and OS version you and the other user are running.

I'm running Firefox Nightly, which is version 66 at this point with tree style tabs 2.7.9 on auto update on linux 4.19 with intel/nvidia gpu drivers. I've never seen any issues just tree style tabs but note I only have 5 extensions at this point.

I was wondering if it was an issue with a particular platform or interaction between multiple extensions particularly if you are using the pre quantum version.
I'm wary of these type of claims by Apple. They seem carefully craft such claims to be factual in some twisted sense but not reflective of actual state of things. For example, at every announcement they have claimed that their customer satisfaction is 96%. This is very hard to believe despite of battery gate, headphone jack removal etc. Almost every release they say they broke record which is technically true but they don't mention that this was usual fanboy rush that quiets down within a week, sometime in just couple of days.
What isnt mentioned is how this weight is dictated by modern combat doctrine. We expect troops on patrol to be ambushed and to fight back and win. That is new. It didnt happen in ww2 because, if ambushed, retreat was always an option, a good one considering you often had no idea how big the enemy was ahead of you. But today we assume the enemy is always six guys with guns. We expect our patrols to never retreat. So they are layered in armor and need the ammo to hold down a nest for up to an hour.

Ive done some work with specials. They dont carry as much because thier missions are different. If ambushed they arent expected to stand and fight every time.
Flamebait in a comment is found in its worst statements, not its best ones.

Thank you. That makes more sense now. I have been tracking down a network slow recently and this assumption make me think it's the echo. Now I understand and this is helpful for me to eliminate echo during that troubleshooting.
Slightly OT, but I yesterday launched my script [1] to go through 2 decades of family photos (200GB) that are structured in no sensible way (i.e tree depth of over 6 and over 500 folder with no descriptive names) and organize them.

The script will copy the files, ignoring duplicates, and format them as follows. Files are renamed to their date of creation (when the photo/video was taken/shot), e.g. 2019.01.07_08.28.34.jpg, and then stored in folders sorted by year.

ETA is 40 hours for the remaining 150GB. I suspect that the bottleneck is my network (running the script on my PC, but the photos are available through NFS). I assume it would go much faster if photos are stored on the same computer as the script is being run on.

Anyway, I thought this might be relevant for anyone who wants to get a grip of their photos :)

PS: would greatly appreciate style/performance/correctness tips on the code AND recommendations of any other naming strategy you deem better than my approach!

It's probably even worse than you think - it's not just about carrying a lot of weight. You're expected to carry it and still move pretty quickly on humps. In infantry in the USMC, going at 1-2 miles an hour with all this gear isn't unheard of, or 20 miles a day. If someone is faltering, it means one more person's gear that has to be split up for others to carry.

For some units, the amount of gear you have to carry can get bad, like carrying a 50 cal, or in the case of my unit, we had a lot of M240Bs to carry because that's what we had on our LAVs.

>If the meat I buy is from someone who mutilated the cow and optimized for maximum pain in the death of the cow then I would not buy that meat.

What if more pain directly correlated with better-tasting meat (or some other tangible advantage, like health benefits or medicinal properties)? I think you'd find many, many people who'd be okay with cows inflicted maximum pain for maximum yum meat, let alone meat that made them healthier than the alternative.

If there's a spectrum here, an instance of that spectrum exists for each individual too. Is it rational to believe we could ever agree on a single universal line on that spectrum for everyone?

I think you misunderstood GP. Knowing the cause of a previously "strange" behavior makes it relatable and discussable. Being able to explain a behavior is beneficial even to kids themselves, because it allows the kid introspection, and, ultimately, a chance to disarm triggers that lead to the behavior. This gives a bit of control back to the kid, as she no longer has to rely on adults to tell her off.
>A soldier may not care about the views, but he should watch out for people who are trying to kill him. If my experience translates at all, the weight is interfering with that goal.

Getting shot by enemy direct fire is actually quite rare. Infantrymen are killed by landmines, mortars, artillery, IEDs, grenades, cluster bombs, and all other various forms of shrapnel and explosive based weaponry at a much greater rate. The modern battlefield is an exceedingly hostile place to be a soft target of any kind, and that's what your armor is for. Wearing it demonstrably increases survivability over time in combat despite the increased weight load.
It's a lot higher risk to start up a business yourself.

Price _per se_ would not be a concern if competition wasn't there. I just bought an iPad Pro this year. Nothing Android based even comes close. But unfortunately for Apple (and fortunately for us) there is stiff competition in the smartphone space. And Apple will either have to innovate and/or cut prices. Incremental upgrades at triple digit prices aren't going to work.
I went to the first World Domination Summit in 2011, a conference in Portland for readers of the "Art Of Nonconformity" blog. It was popular with one-person businesses, people who created & sold their own products (typically online). Though when I got there, the crowd had lots of life coaches & people starting their first blog.

It changed my life in that I got a job out of it - I ended up being hired by someone I met in the hallway between talks. We bonded over how much we weren't enjoying the talks, finding them to be more "motivational" than actionable & substantial. (Something about people singing "Kumbaya" a lot.)

I've since realized the value in conferences is usually not in the talks themselves, but the people you meet in the "hallway track" or the conference social events like evening drinks, bungee jumping, skydiving, etc. The talks & speakers are there to attract like-minded people and provide a shared topic of conversation. I've always made more business contacts & friends from the skydiving, and learned much more from the private conversations over drinks at the bar.
I always had a beef with this paper; so many of the issues are much better solved in Haskell, yet he doesn't introduce it directly until he has something to criticize. Unfortunately the critique reveal a very poor understanding.

First point, lazy evaluation incurs a mutation when the whnf is reduced. However, this mutation occurs at most once and after that the value is immutable just like in SML. Furthermore, the update is not directly exposed to the programmer and thus the compiler can implement it in a way that works efficiently in the presence of generational GC. See the GHC papers on how.

Second point, on polymorphic overloading he claims that Haskell "allow run-time resolution of overloading". Mark P. Jones and others have show how this overhead can be largely eliminated via partial evaluation applied to the type dictionaries. The use of polymorphic overloading is pervasive in Haskell code because it's incredibly useful so the "apparently small gains" is complete and utter nonsense.

In many ways O'Caml is a better SML than SML, but Haskell, and especially the GHC variant, has a type system that is light years ahead of both.

In the modern world there are many variations on the theme, but the language Rust (which borrows many ideas from these) might become the most popular yet.

I love this tool a lot. It's super helpful. I usually can get away with this but some tool really require it.

For example, I implement google oauth flow recently and they have a flow of redirect URL you have to pre-defined. To simplify the code and config, I want to make HTTPS by default and the only option instead of checking for the env(dev/prod to enable https or not). This simplify the code and still allow me to test https with it.
Its better to create a series of typedef and build up the declaration. Most of the time you need those sub typedef anyway.

When we talk about commercialisation, it almost always has to do with business performance improvement. When you’re thinking about making a change to improve the performance of business, then you have to consider the benefits/risk ratio of your change (in this case, swapping for a better model).

Say your model only increases performance by 1%. It’s unproven within the business and against the test of time. Not to mention someone generally needs to know how it works and maintain it. Someone needs to be responsible for the change and be able to explain why the new model is better (and will continue to stay better).

And generally businesses buy solutions not releases of models. There’s a lot of additional work that goes into commercialising a model as a product than the actual model itself. I know because I’ve tried to do it before.

We are working on developing software that will let us be more agile with ML and rapidly release new models to compete with existing models, which will help us learn about the effectiveness of new modelling techniques and help us build business cases.
> I always wondered what I would do if for some reason the market for software developers would go down. I worry I would not able to find an interesting job, let alone a lucrative one.

You are right to worry ( https://stackoverflow.com/jobs?q=bscs ). It will be more of a problem when you're in your late 40's, maybe married with kids, and laid off in a tight economy, without a degree. I mean, if you ever see it in job ads, or have it mentioned in interviews, then it is a thing.

Consider signing up for a local college with a decent CS program (public or private) and taking one course a semester at night or on weekends. Then the default becomes you graduate eventually. Also, the fact that you are going and making progress helps as well. It also helps your programming - reflecting on mutual exclusion and critical sections for a semester will not hurt you any in your job.
You still are not understanding, the tx and rx are simply what speed they are connected at, not any different than your ethernet connection reporting 100 mbps or 1000 mbps, it does not mean it is actually transmitting that much data.

hi @allthatisrael - great question. currently, the service is entirely trust-based. thought of extending the functionality in the future to include e.g. a photo challenge (in the sense of submitting a picture of your breakfast for instance). but more validation needed if that's appealing to users - and there would be still an element of trust.

Ask HN: Is web development still a viable career choice?
Hello HNers,

I am an aspiring web developer. I have been self learning for around six months and still have not found a solid path to follow. Six months sounds like a lot but realistically it has been a few solid weeks of learning since it is a side hobby that I hope will turn into my career.

Is the Web Dev job market in a good enough state that I should risk more time and money?

Thanks for any advice…

I remember reading the following observation somewhere. If one says, in abstract, “I do not always manage to do the thing I know is right; I occasionally have moral lapses”, then people will nod knowingly and empathize — they will admit the same about themselves. But if one mentions anything specific — “sometimes I find it hard not to be racist”, “sometimes I hit my child” — then one gets a reaction of “You monster! What the hell is wrong with you?” etc., as here.

And yet I think that, faced as we all are with the task of living according to our values, it is discussions of the latter sort that are more valuable and instructive.

(Recalled where I encountered this: https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-obvious-truths-that-are-... )
You are arguing that the spanking AFTER you tampered with a wire saved you.

First, you could have died before the spanking. Punishment after the fact never rights a done wrong.

Second, at the age of 4, if your parents had just sat down with you and told you that you can die from electric shock, don't you think that would have made a lasting impression either?
Competing on price is not in Apple's DNA and that's a good thing for a company that obsesses on providing top end user experience. But eventually all products and innovations become commoditized and providing differentiation becomes harder every day. A primary thing that has kept Apple alive 'n kicking is establishing new product categories and exploit first mover advantage to the fullest. Mac > iPhone > iPad > Watch are things in right direction but they desperately need more arrows. I'm hopping Smart Home, VR and car would be the next product lines where they can change the game. To keep growth rate going they need one iPhone like major product every 15-20 years and new minor product every 3-5 years. Ability to continue creating new product lines seems to be the precondition for sustained growth rate for Apple's business model given the inevitable commoditization cycles and subsequent race to the bottom for margins.

Indeed. I upgraded from a 6S, and was going to order a XR, when I finally, in the last minute, actually measured the dimentsions out in comparison to my current phone. Then I basically said WTF and waited for some deal on the XS and bought that. Not really happy, though, as all friends who did the same aren't: it is stilltoo big and too expensive for what it does - and we are in Europe, so the prices are even more ridiculous...

1) almost no one has multiple Masters and even fewer multiple PhDs.

2) A degree tells a potential employer you have knowledge in a field and the persistence to stick with a project/goal for 4-6 years. The latter possibly being more important than the former.

3) Focus on persistence and experience in particular technology or projects is definitely a good boost.
The parent may have misdiagnosed their child here. This could be Transient Tic Disorder. It's super common. Kids get random physical/vocal tics, including licking fingers/hands. Usually they just go away with time. Not much you can do and definitely stressing out your child won't help. There's no "reason" for them.

As for why the child said it was because his hands were dry: I hate to say it but maybe the poor kid just wanted to stop their maybe-a-bit-intense parent from "grilling" them about it again.
I treat my phones the same, and I thought "I'll never drop this", until you do.

Both times I've dropped the phone getting in or out of the car. First time it landed face first on the garage floor and shattered the screen and the second time it landed on its side and just scratched the case a little.

Hard to know what will happen when you drop your phone.
>I'm wary of these type of claims by Apple

Really? Typically it's all the claims by the press pundits (X not selling, Apple losing Y country, etc) that are proven invariably BS after each quarter results conference.
Recently I gave up and decided not to watch anything coming from a Disney - no pixar, no starwars movies, nothing. There's simply no point to bother, Disney brand is virtually a guarantee mark of a soulless, meaningless, corporate product with only point of generating cash.

Yes, Disney is still strong, but I believe I'm not the only person that got tired of it.
Yeah, let's see how this goes with the quarterly results.

Historically 90% of pundit/press claims have been proven to be utter BS. If I had a penny for each "Apple is doomed" and "iPhone model XXX not selling" I would have, well, 10s of dollars...

I'm reminded of the O/R story of PMS Blackett and removing armour behind pilots. I know it's not the same but it's in the same space: armchair experts can easily "see" less weight would make for a more effective fighting force. Nobody in actual authority or chain of command wants to be the one turning up at a soldiers funeral saying "I issued the order to have less armour"

It's not that the economics/efficiency argument isn't clear. It's that we now value human life more than we did eg during the battle of the somme. "Attrition" is not an acceptable battle plan in public.

I've never been in harm's way. I've never had to make decisions about people going into harm's way. I don't for a minute assume it's easy to make these decisions.

That more people die (D-Day landings, parachuteists drowning due to surplus weight added before launch) is not surprising either. It's lose-lose decision making.
I have yet to see any such stores and can only comment on the ones local to me in the Seattle area. I’ve also seen a few people with Apple watches, which are still pretty notable as they are far from common like iPhones are.
For a long time I was pretty irritated about landing in a line company instead of a mounted weapons company... but after a combat tour, where the majority of KIA was from roadside IEDs, I didn't mind walking so much. The loadout did get more and more ridiculous though - after some officer got shot in the heart through his armpit, we all got issued side SAPIs that added weight, interfered with room clearing mobility, and cut off circulation in our arms. Backpacker syndrome [0] was also pretty common.

> Plug covers are easily and rapidly removed by curious children, and are potentially a choking hazard.

Ultimately that comes down to the plug design. Schuko sockets (used in most of Europe) are typically indented into the outlet enclosure. This enables IKEA[1] (and others) to make covers that basically can't be removed without tools.
