Have you considered hierarchical tags?

I use it for my bookmarks, and I find it is a suitable balance between having some kind of hierarchy, while allowing for resources to be classified under several categories.
It's not only about having "enough time". These "short time" approaches are amazing for "making" time. Every major habit I started, I first started doing a few minutes a day, then it naturally came to me to EXTEND it to a longer period of time.

This is an aspect it seems many people forget.
I find it depressing every time I try to contribute. Most recently, there was an article on a popular TV show that was in its first season, where the very top level cast list gave away a spoiler for very late in the season, that completely changed the lives of some main characters. So if you ever check the WP article for the show during the first 8-10 episodes of the season (like I did), you're completely spoiled. It was unnecessary and also inconsistent with the cast descriptions from the show's marketing, and deleting the spoiler had no real negative informative impact, but when I tried to delete the spoiler (two words), it got rolled back with a scolding with a reference to wikipedia's spoiler policy of not protecting the audience from spoilers... which is normally sane, but completely overkill in that particular case.

I ended up asking, what if the WP entry for A New Hope gave away that very famous spoiler about Luke's father in the initial description and cast listing (it currently does not), and then I tried to delete the spoiler? Would the moderation policy roll back my change? He said yes, because of the same reason - WP does not protect audiences against spoilers. So I asked, well then why does the ANH WP article not have this spoiler? And he said, probably just because no one has made the edit yet.

It's a nice list, but a bit more genealogy would improve it greatly.

Many of the oldest writing systems began as a loose collection of pictograms but became more abstract over time. Where to draw the line between different stages of their development is often an arbitrary decision, their continuity hidden by the sparseness of ancient records.

For example, all of the following scripts can be seen as different stages of, or variations within, the same writing system: Old Hanzi, Oracle Bone, Bronze, Han, and Seal. Some of them might even be seen as different "fonts" encoding more or less the same set of characters. Others such as the Khitan and Jurchen scripts were clearly influenced by the Chinese writing system. It's a big family of related scripts, and should be presented as such.

A similar lineage can be drawn across many middle-Eastern and near-Eastern scripts that influenced one other and the Latin alphabet.

Of course there's still a lot of disagreement about exactly which way the influences went, but if you paint the picture with a broad enough stroke, you should be able to accommodate most of the uncertainty.

So I would find it appealing to maintain a baseline of fitness with a “no excuses” MVW.

Back in the day, before aliexpress, it was good too because you could rip off the sellers. Just claim the thing never arrived and since for cheap stuff they had no tracking numbers the seller always had to refund you. You could get TONS of free stuff that way. Now aliexpress does this right and it's significantly harder.
> One of the reasons CUDA beat OpenCL was that enough people preferred C++ or Fortran to C and CUDA was happy to accommodate them while OpenCL wasn't.

Nonsense. We're talking about an API. C provides a bare-bones interface that doesn't impose any performance penalty, but just because the API is C nothing forces anyone to implement core functionality in the best tool they can find.

That's like complaining that an air conditioner doesn't cool the room as well as others just because it uses a type F electrical socket instead of a type C plug.

biohacking definitely has a tinge of "DIY cyberpunk" to it. I find the area interesting, but my concern is that the mods they do right now aren't actually useful, and the surgical aspect is totally unnecessary. This leads me to think that magnet/RFID implants are more about in-group signalling (about being a hardcore hacker or being into cyberpunk or transhumanism) than they are about enhancing your abilities.

Landmark Worldwide has been a highly controversial subject on Wikipedia. There are 32 pages of discussions on the article's talk page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Landmark_Worldwide

To contribute to articles on controversial topics (such as politics and religion), Wikipedia recommends the following:

1) Edit the article with the changes you want to make.

2) If another editor disagrees with you, they will revert your edit.

3) After your edit is reverted, go to the talk page of the article and discuss the contents of your edit.

The key step is #3. Reverted edits are to be discussed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discus...

If you're unable to come to an agreement with other editors, you can use some form of dispute resolution. The most popular method is the "request for comment", in which all Wikipedia editors are invited to participate in a debate, and the results determine the state of the article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment

Your point of view won't always be the one that wins the debate, but Wikipedia editors are generally reasonable, and your arguments will be fairly heard.

Ask HN: How to handle content of a flat-file CMS in Docker images?
Hi HN Community,

I currently work on a project that runs with Kirby, a flat file CMS. Means: all content is saved in files inside the project structure. The project should be built as a Docker image and deployed to the server afterwards.

I would like to know how a good solution could look like that handles the changing content files inside the Docker containers?

Current evaluated solutions:

- save them in shared folders outside of the Docker containers, via volumes.

- handle them via Git and store them in a submodule, changes are commited with the Autogit Kirby plugin.

What are your thoughts? :)

> This is simply an engineer spotting a performance bottleneck in Chrome and posting a design to resolve it.

The #1 way to improve web browsing performance is with aggressive and comprehensive ad blocking.
Have there been any developments on this since GDPR came into effect? Per the legislation, you have to explicitly opt in before any data sharing can happen (unless it's a business requirement, but it's pretty hard to argue something is if you can opt out). Most ad networks get around it with click-throughs that you have to accept before viewing a website, which per the legislation shouldn't be allowed, as it says you should be able to use the service without opting in.
It is much easier to use a HOSTS file as a whitelist rather than some sort of blacklist.

HOSTS is useful but limited. For example, it does not allow for wildcards like DNS.

Unbound is included in many distributions nowadays and it has plenty of features now that can make it act like a HOSTS file or authoritative server. These work well for ad blocking.

Blocking ads is like blocking traffic using a firewall. Firewall rulesets often block everything by default and then lines are added to whitelist desired traffic. This can be easier to manage than allowing every domain by default and trying to come up with a list of all undesired domains. The same firewall-like approach has worked well for me in blocking ads. All domains blocked by default; desired domains are whitelisted.

If you use Chrome browser, it will even help you formulate your whitelist. Go to chrome://site-engagement after some routine browsing.

You might find there are some shocking entries in those massive blocking HOSTS files popular on the internet if you ever choose to read one. Sites you will never, ever visit in your lifetime online. Grossly inefficient.

It also appears sections have been cut and pasted from a variety of disparate sources without any sort of verification.

I tried to read through one of these massive HOSTS files once and had to stop as I found it too repulsive. There were far too many dark corners of the web listed that the average web user will never visit. Makes one wonder how the authors even know about these domains.

People's browsing habits are not all the same. A "one-size fits all" HOSTS file seems inappropriate.
I can't comment on that, but from the outside, they look to have a pretty complex implementation according to their website.

On a similar note, Nassim Taleb says:

"Something central, very central, is missing in historical accounts of scientific and technological discovery. The discourse and controversies focus on the role of luck as opposed to teleological programs (from telos, “aim”), that is, ones that rely on pre-set direction from formal science.

The luck versus knowledge story is as follows. Ironically, we have vastly more evidence for results linked to luck than to those coming from the teleological, outside physics—even after discounting for the sensationalism. In some opaque and nonlinear fields, like medicine or engineering, the teleological exceptions are in the minority, such as a small number of designer drugs. This makes us live in the contradiction that we largely got here to where we are thanks to undirected chance, but we build research programs going forward based on direction and narratives. And, what is worse, we are fully conscious of the inconsistency."

What's interesting, according to Taleb, is that science has been hiding this fact, that progress mainly comes from trial & error & risk-taking, as opposed to well-defined theories and narratives.

> Still, the stair-climbing protocol isn’t just about time, he says. It should also “remind people that ‘exercise’ does not have to involve changing into spandex, going to the gym and making an hour time commitment.” The volunteers in the new study, he notes, didn’t don workout gear or shower afterwards; it was just a brief moment in their normal daily routine.

I completely agree to this one. Ritual of going to Gym becomes a big procrastion.
You're wrong on both counts here - nobody gets funded to review articles (it's done by volunteers), and there are nearly 6 million articles in English alone

It seems all what you are mentioning have a very minor impact on CO2 emission, it only measure to 2% of emission from ski stations.
From : https://www.maxisciences.com/co2/climat-les-stations-de-ski-...

On this site of different French ski station it claims a 19g to 350g of CO2 per day per user for snow cannons, piste bashers, lift maintenance. It is less than how much CO2 a human breath (1kg) per day.
http://www.n-py.com/sites/n-py/files/commons/Valeurs-C02-15-...

The majority of CO2 emission is transportation : 57% and 27% for housing.
You can personally easily reduce the CO2 emission to go to the ski station using TGV train, if we take the example of the French OP, and then buses to climb to the station. For the housing it would be the same as if you were at home.
I wish you were right, but I have my doubts. Some people familiar with writing software think the DNA is some type of very long program written in some unknown language. If only we could decipher the language. In reality, there is no language. The genes are recipes to build some nano-machines (the proteins). That's it. Some of us posses a certain version of a protein, some posses another one. Everything is emergent properties. It's like positing the rules for a "game of life". You can't tell from the rules what emergent behavior you'll see. You need to run the game. Evolution does just that, it runs the game. Some codes survive, some don't. There is no language of the genetic code.

For us to fine tune inteligence or strength, we need to be able to predict lots and lots of layers of emerging properties. Or simply to find ways to run the game many, many times. We can't run the game by experimenting with babies. Will we be able to run the game on a computer? I'm not holding my breath on this one.

If you're interested in learning more, just type "cbt pain management" in Google there are plenty of similar evidence:

Some of these articles are more detailed than the first link I posted.
It has been proven time and time again, that that's at best only partially true. There are two factors:

If they have something working with one API, they have to have a good reason to re-implement it with a new API. It may be 'fast enough' and reliable, so why go through all that pain?

Or, it's just the long tail of API consumers (e.g. site on the web). Some things aren't maintained and updated, but they don't go away.
That would be the more reasonable assumption ;)

This is a much bigger hurdle than it might seem; at any rate the biggest one for me personally.

And additionally, even if I had such a plan, I have no idea how to measure my progress, or whether and how to modify the plan depending on the progress.
async is part of the method signature, the public facing part of the method. But it controls an implementation detail, namely whether the function body may use await (as you say asynchronous functions are not required to use await).

I found a link [1] that described async as a compatibility affordance in C# 5: legacy code may use await as a variable name, so async opts into the contextual await keyword. But Dart doesn't have such legacy, so the keyword doesn't seem as well motivated.

Google is an advertisement publishing company. All the things they do, they do to earn money, not to give people anything. When Chrome first appeared, I was wondering about the extremely huge cost of building the browser and how Google wants to earn from that. Then it started to be obvious: it's all to spy on people. Not from the beginning, but slowly... the google account integration... the forced logging into the account... adding custom adblock (which doesn't block most of the ads)... and now this: disabling adblockers.

I'm glad that I stopped using it.
