1) Split view
2) Public ling sharing, embedded code
3) Kindle highlights sync (syncing the highlighted parts of yout books directly to the app)
4) AI for recommending online content (courses, books etc.)
Free plan is just limited by number of documents and storage because we need to cover the server costs for cloud solution.

Right now the solution is cloud based (but with SAML SSO and access provisioning for enterprises). It could be self-hosted it there is a demand for that.
Quotes are made by people and it is often relevant to know who these people were to understand the quote.

It applies in this particular case: I'm not very familiar with Smith's work, and I am a bit puzzled that this quote is from him.
Actually that seemed to be a big problem of computer models to me too. When I was a kid I modeled the houses I was living in using Counterstrike Source's Hammer editor, and they always felt SO SMALL to walk around "inside" when they were correct to scale, even though one of them was a fairly big 1800's house. So either way you simulate things you have funny perceptions.

And during construction you are kind of thrown about by the perception of the size. When framing is done, it feels huge. Once all the plaster is on the walls, it feels extremely "small" at first because you were so used to the big openness of the frame, then finally as more finishes are applied it just feels correct at last.

It's hard to describe exactly what feeling happens. But suffice to say it's never easy to get "right" feeling simulations of a structure until you put up literal walls.

For this reason, if you want to build a 5x7 bathroom or 11x13 bedroom or whatever, the best possible thing you can do is find one that already exists. Or find a 11x11 room or something and try to imagine it with 2 more feet. Then you can carry these mental rooms around with you.

At least, that's what I did a lot of.

So its clear:

It's the smallest positive integer bigger than any finite positive integer, "named" (defined, so some formula without explicitly writing it out) by an expression in the language of first order set theory with a googol symbols (10^100) or less.

I remember reading busy beaver numbers can be defined in a language with millions of symbols, so this number is pretty impressive.

The whole situation is interesting at the very least.

The only comment I have is that I have to fault the article for making a lot of assumptions and leaps to conclusions on Banksy’s intentions, it sort of unilaterally declares that Banksy is selling out and cheating the system.

But what they want is far simpler: they don’t want other people claiming they’re Banksy, and they want to remain anonymous.

The article gets upset at Banksy as a corporate sellout as if they opened up a line of art pieces for sale at Walmart or Target. What Banksy did is more akin to opening up a UPS Store mailbox in order to have an address on file.
If the models didn't predict the lag, it stands to reason that the models weren't accurate, even if current temperatures align with them. That is to say that the current alignment is just coincidental.

If I remember correctly, the lag was likely caused by not correctly accounting for deep ocean heating. That's a huge missing piece of the simulation, so how could the models from back then possibly have been accurate?
And oil company lobbyist fear-mongering is at least part of the reason we won’t make that switch.

Eh, no, I don't like hurting people (and I usually don't brag like that; I don't think I've ever used the term "kicked his ass" before). It's just, I was working at the industry at the time so I had a lot of money to spend on things I really shouldn't be spending it on, for example lots of M:tG rares. The deck I think my colleague was the most pissed off about was a Karn deck with the Urzatron. On its face that sounds like a net deck except mine included Spine of Ish Shah and Claws of Gix to recurse it which I think most serious players would consider garbage (I'm totally a Johnny kind of player; winning is only good if it's on my own terms). I only played that deck a couple of times because it's true that it wasn't a very nice deck to play in a casual environment, it would probably be banned from casual nights. But then even my wacky rogue decks with all the trash rares that I never thought would win caused the guy pain.

I'm not sure how to find a good balance between a deck that I enjoy playing and that works well and a deck that doesn't offend a casual player. To be honest.

So I guess it's really stupid to brag about kicking that guy's ass. I just failed to adjust to the level of the game and I made the whole experience sour for him. He even mentioned that some of his casual playmates who alsoplayed competitively adviced him on what cards to buy so he could beat me. That's just bad.
It's a very nice alternative to "grow or die" mentality of other startups/projects. But it only works when you are not 100% dependent on its success, so not for everyone.

Had we acted on climate change in the 1980s, I doubt that would have made much difference on living standards in the end. And insofar as it would, it would have been worth it. Maybe we could have avoided the worst externalities of petrochem and consumerism-centered lifestyle.
Off topic. Nice username! I wouldn't have stopped or noticed except from reading HN comments on the ZATAOMM story posted the other day.
> He told stories how in their VS projects dependencies between modules (projects) were not configured

Yes that's still an issue at my workplace as well. When I joined, there were no dependencies - all files were compiled redundantly for each project. So there were no issues with regards to reliably rebuilding dependencies, but of course it takes a lot longer to build. And there are serious maintainability issues with de-facto internal libraries, because adding or removing files to/from each "library" means that each dependent project file has to be updated. I've started to split out a few "library projects", and now we're starting to get the rebuilding issue. I think dependencies can be configured in *.sln files, but that probably means that they have to be configured separately for each project, i.e. it probably can't be done automatically when simply importing the library's .props file into a .vcxproj.

A nice middle ground could be to make .props files that just include .c files, meaning the library's files will be part of each project, so no rebuilding issues and no maintenance issues since the list of files that belongs to a library is maintained in one isolated place (the .props file). But that again means the files are built redundantly in each project.

But the long-term solution will be to maintain the build descriptions in better-suited in-house data structures (yeah like CMake, just not that scary) and to generate the MSBuild cruft from that.
Ironic how they want your name and address and phone number for a petition to protect your privacy.
What does "too much borrowing & too little spending" even mean?

Borrowing/growing debt is a negative balance after spending & earning are added up.
Wouldn't that simply say "root did this at this time", and maybe "on this pts", and then I'd have to marry that up with who was logged on at the given pts at that time?

Either way we don't sue sudo to enforce security -- anyone could go and reboot the machine physically in any case, we use sudo so we remember what we did, or can quickly find the person who did it. Same with physical security, we don't stop people from pulling the plug, but if the plug is pulled we can see who was probably in the room at the time. You can work around it (by going in with a colleague) if you wanted to hide your tracks, but people don't hide their tracks.

Of course the other benefit of sudo is to reduce the number of terminals logged in as root, where accidents can easilly happen.

To run an Arris router reset to the original factory settings, locate the same pinhole on the back of your modem. Use the paperclip to press the button inside the hole but hold the button down for a full ten seconds this time. This will run a full factory reset on the modem. After running a factory reset, you must setup the network again or setup the modem on a new network. It will erase the current network settings for a fresh start.

What is the difference between works Of artistic craftsmanship and artistic works?

His works are generally permanently situated in a public place. I would think that taking a picture of any random public wall with graffiti on it is legal. But you seem to be saying that there are two kinds of art, and that the kind that is “worse” gets protection, but the better kind didn’t get protection. Very odd.
It also learns if you like rare music and somehow finds networks of people/videos that you resonate with. Every day I discover something interesting that I wouldn't have thought to click on (artwork + name), by just letting YouTube autoplay. Classic Zambian rock, Nigerian disco, rare 80s Italian or Japanese electronic music, some brand new French dub guy.

Invariably there are a bunch of other people commenting about how "the algorithm" surprised them again. There isn't a single algorithm.
He wants to have his cake and eat it. He can copyright his work to have it protected, but won't because that would mean you know the name of the person who makes it. So instead he abuses the law by claiming a trademark - which he isn't entitled to under the law. So now someone has challenged his trademark and because Banksy isn't actually some anti-establishment rebel, he's using fancy lawyers and public pressure to get his way despite not actually being right as a matter of law.
Prior to visiting Auschwitz, I read Man's Search for Meaning and Ordinary Men. Both are emotionally challenging books, and forced me to look deeply at who I am as a person. One of the quotes about life in the concentration camps from Frankl that has always stuck with me is that "the best of us did not return". It is something that survivors of the holocaust had to live with for the rest of their lives.

Ask HN: I want my tech lead's job
Tech lead was promoted from individual contributor during a time the company was struggling to hire. He didn't want to be the lead but succumbed to the pressure (and the inevitability of looking bad and never be able to grow within the company).

Long story short, he's terrible and it shows. The team is a mess, lots of silos, morale is low, difficulty in meeting commitments, etc.

I think I can do better (and have done at other companies but was hired as an individual contributor here) and I also think no amount of coaching can help him after all these years.

What do I do?
Some context on this essay - I've been making my way through Bret Victor's collection of links [0] and started reading diSesssa's Knowledge in Pieces, which opens with this quote:

"Nobody thinks clearly, no matter what they pretend. Thinking's a dizzy business, a matter of catching as many of those foggy glimpses as you can and fitting them together the best you can. That's why people hang on so tight to their beliefs and opinions; because, compared to the haphazard way in which they arrived at, even the goofiest opinion seems wonderfully clear, sane, and self-evident. And if you let it get away from you, then you've got to dive back into that foggy muddle to wangle yourself out another to take its place.”

I didn't recognise the quote, but the author seemed familiar (Dashiell Hammett), so I looked it up and found this fascinating essay on the relationship between how Hammett's detectives thought, how Hammett himself thought, and what changed over the course of his career as his philosophical views shifted from pragmatism to Marxism.

I don't think they could be replaced that fast with nuclear. According to Bill Gates at a speech he gave @ ARPA-E, the limitation of mass nuclear right now is the number of heavy forges left in the world.

I think you could scale up a mixture of solar-PV, wind + some nuclear that fast however, because the manufacturing needs are not as bad.
But which one has a big corporation? The article clearly and seemingly correctly points out that Banksy is a much bigger corporation and that corporation is lying through its teeth about what is happening.
It will be the e d of same day delivery and that’s just fine with me.
The germane point is that Banksy isn't claiming copyright, he's claiming a trademark. He could stop them doing this if he sued them for copyright infringement but he's choosing not to.

“Too much borrowing” “too little spending” versus productive investment is the problem with Keynesian economics caused over supply / under pricing of money. Keynes said debt doesn’t matter because it’s someone else’s asset and it self-amortises: Yes, but it creates mal-investment and uneven inflation in favour of those with access to credit e.g. giant financial asset bubbles of 20/21st centuries.

Start fixing everything you may think it's not done properly. Enforce roles and demand accountability from eveyrone, including commitments, sometimes, teams members are the ones hijacking the lead.

As someone who has loved going to see "classic" movies in the theater, it's a different experience than watching them at home. I'm not going to the theater because I don't have the movie, but because I want to see it on the big screen, with other people, and get that movie experience. For movies that came out before my time, it's been amazing. For example, I've seen Wrath of Khan so many times at home, but it was nowhere as good as seeing it on the big screen. I wonder what the numbers say on how many people won't buy a movie or stream it just because their theater decides to show it (and usually it's a very short run, like a one night or weekend).

It's always mystified me why an open, cross platform messaging protocol hasn't become as widespread as SMS or email.

It seems messaging use is always driven as a side effect of other use; people use a messaging system because they use something else that happens to have a messaging system, and their friends all use it too.
