> The continuously is key.

It continuously activated and ran forcing the nose down. Your pedantism is suitable for courtroom drama, but is inappropriate when you're in command of an airplane. In fact, I suspect a judge would ridicule such an argument. I was involved in a court case once where the opposition based their case on navigating around the overly literal definitions of words. The judge ruled against them on every point. They appealed, and it went before a 3 judge panel, that unanimously ruled against them on every point.

Do you seriously believe a pilot, faced with trim that kept turning on trying to dive the airplane, would not think "I need to shut off the stabilizer trim. Oh wait, I'll leave it on because it's intermittent!" ?

There's a reason airplanes have not dispensed with pilots and gone fully automated.
They're using 5.3.0 which isn't supported by the RPi Foundation yet. The 4.19 line had an issue with RAM too but it's been fixed now so if you build from git it's fine.

Well if I'm saying a lot of things that are taken as just silly, clearly this discussion is wasteful of my time.
> use case you have seems to differ from how dynamic libraries are currently designed

Other operating systems manage to support library isolation and safe unloading just fine. Windows has done it for decades. There's no reason except a long history of bad decisions that the ELF world should have a hard time with a concept that comes easily everywhere else.

> But with dynamic libraries you’re not necessarily the only user of that library, so depending on dlclose to actually unload the library is not really something you can do.

Libraries are reference counted. They get unloaded when the last reference disappears. (And if necessary, we should be able to create island namespaces with independent copies of loaded libraries.)
This is the problem. People are so ready to believe government is hopelessly corrupt that they assume all aspects of it must be evil and should be taken away or “cancelled.”

There are actual agencies that fight, deter/avoid, and persecute corruption within the government. But people believe the worst so they’ve accepted the worst behavior from government.

This should be a moment where people learn how actual government agencies work and what exist. Like this https://www.oge.gov/

For decades, the US government has been a shining example of republican democracy with actual oversight and minimal corruption.

> It'd be nice if she'd read me my text messages but she flatly refuses to do that.

Siri is integrated with AirPods Pro and will read your text messages to you as they come in. It’s pretty great.

But what really excites me about voice assistance and voice assistive technology is the advent of Voice Control in iOS 13. Voice Control allows me to manipulate my iPad, for example, while using both hands to eat dinner or wash dishes etc. My screen doesn’t get greasy and I can scroll and tap links using my voice.

The on device dictation ability is also first-rate. For example, I’ve used dictation to generate the majority of this comment.
I checked out the CLI for Joplin and it's a multi-pane environment with a command line at the bottom. This is also true of Vim, especially if you like panes, or "splits". For those of us hooked on Vim (I am silent on its merits), there is a state of flow that is quite pleasant, and you find that you want that flow wherever you can get it. The arrow keys just are j,k,l,; for example, and just lifting a hand from the home row position feels awkward if you're in deep enough. :)
Can’t believe you’re making me step in to defend Jeffrey Tucker—who is not I repeat not a journalist by any means, he’s an Austrian School economist, what made you pull out that weird axe to grind?—but here we are just the same.

Even that weird bit of sneering aside, this is a pretty monstrous take. It is a net good to ensure that people are aware of the challenges and the likelihood of success—and how to maximize their success, which generally is to have a measure of real-world experience and skills to rely upon.

There is no collective in entrepreneurship, there is no noble sacrifice, there is game theory and economics and it is damned immoral and foolish besides to encourage a Children’s Crusade of starry-eyed kids to transform themselves into debtors and stress wrecks for a theoretical success they are overwhelmingly not—yet—going to have a fair shot at.

Go around and ask your co-workers, "would you you consider a push by management to have fewer meeting a political act?". I sampled my co-workers and none of them considered it political.

This works both ways: what data do you have that workers consider adjustments to things like meetings political acts?

I think it’s a good option if:

- you build js components

- you don’t know css that well

- you don’t want the cognitive load of naming styles, esp. as a team.

I do know CSS, do not use react, and am used to BEM, so this is not a solution for me.

Todo.txt [1] is not VIM-only, but text-based and simple. I use and enjoy both the Android and CLI clients, but since it's text-based and (typically) Dropbox synced, you could feel free to edit with VIM, which I do from time-to-time.

I use a method called Context and Components. The idea being to build components, and to modify those components of they need to change base on context.

From my experience, reusable CSS is somewhat of a red herring. Maintainable and easily locates CSS is where you get productivity gains. If you don't know what you habe because there are hundreds of utility classes then what good is it. Also, if you are using utility classes why not just inline CSS? "red-border" is jusr as

Some would say they have more riding on it so they might try harder than a 20-something.

Or you could say they've put more thought and experience into the decision to start so they've already got a better chance at succeeding.

Now, I will establish my HN cred by saying I prefer CLI and Unix, would read my mail in PINE if I could, and run everything from Linux to Windows to MacOS in the house.

But I use Siri all the time. Perhaps because I desperately miss a keyboard? But asking Siri to play a particular song, call a particular person, give me directions, and turn on the flashlight? All are way faster than navigating the touch interface.

And dictation is the best way for me to message while on the move; I’m old so typing a flat keyboard while walking is a foolish idea.

That said, accuracy is terrible. So many times I have wrong song. I don’t understand why Alexa doesn’t learn that the song I have asked for dozens of times is the right one, not the weird house version that sneaks in.

I probably should investigate iOS shortcuts, that may tip me back to the touch screen.
I think they're saying that userland should handle whatever the mouseover is trying to do (another comment says it displays author and version info embedded in the exe). Things that actually require kernel privileges would remain in the kernel.
They must give it to you.
I use a method called Context and Components. The idea being to build components, and to modify those components if they need to change base on context.

If I need to change the product card on my site it is at component/product-card.scss. If I want it to be different on thr homepage I change it at context/home-page.scss and I targetit with .home-page .product-card. Simple stuff, no inheritance issues either.

From my experience, reusable CSS is somewhat of a red herring. Maintainable and easily located CSS is where you get productivity gains. If you don't know what you have because there are hundreds of utility classes then what good is it.

Also, if you are using utility classes why not just inline CSS? "red-border white-background pad-20" is just as bad.

I wrote an article explaining the method here: https://polylab.co/articles/ccm-contexts-and-components-css....
Disclosure: I work at a competitor note-taking app called Notable [0], so I'm somewhat biased.

I've made a comparison table [1] comparing Joplin and other popular note-taking apps, you may find it useful.

Joplin could have been my go-to note-taking app, but IMO they made a few bad design decisions and there are few things I really don't like about it, maybe listing some of them from my point of view could be useful either to Joplin's maintainers or potential users:

- Notebooks are indefinitely nestable but tags are not, why?

- Joplin's icon is SO out of proportions, it looks way out of place in my dock, it may sound silly but I might not have used it just because of this alone.

- There's a button for opening the current note via a third-party editor, this is quite powerful because it means you can use all the fancy plugins and capabilities your general purpose text editor has, but why are all metadata about a particular note stored who-knows-where rather than putting them in the note itself as YAML front matter so I could have edited them directly too?

- Attachments are stored on disk as plain files, that's great because now you can find them and edit them without going through Joplin if necessary, but those files are named with unique ids so actually finding the files you're looking for will be a problem.

- And why not storing all notes on disk directly too, so that you could have done fancy things like running a global search and replace on them, run git on them...? Storing them in a database is generally better for performance, but you can do both.

- Notes have a separate title field, why wouldn't I want to write my titles in an H1 heading in the Markdown content directly instead? The default notes look a bit silly because of this, coming effectively with 2 identical titles.

- The UI looks pretty ugly, there are too many buttons, the interface isn't properly responsive (at some widths the toolbar gets cropped, labels spawn multiple lines etc.), useless things like the "Watching..." label are displayed etc.

- The database location is not customizable, if it were you would have the ability to store multiple notes collections separately, and you could achieve synchronization for free just by putting your database inside Dropbox for instance.

- Some shortcuts are weird and/or missing, for example there's a shortcut for cycling between previewing, editing, and the split editor. That might be useful sometimes, but don't people just want to toggle between editing and previewing or between previewing and the split-editor most of the times? There should be shortcuts for doing that instead.

I mean, many of us don't see it as a choice. If not 'starting a company', at least striking out on your own and taking a different path to society around you.

If you're born in a dead end town (or country) with little economic activity to speak of, then you either start concocting hustles (whether that be trading, starting a company, taking side jobs, moving town, clipping coupons.. whatever), or you're poor for a lifetime.

Looking at statistics like this is frankly uninteresting for the most driven individuals. Only 1 in N million people make it to the Olympics, but if you have the right genetics and drive, your probability of success is orders of magnitude higher.

This was a fascinating read but I feel like I’m left with some more questions about what’s going on under the hood in gitlab cloud:

1. I thought gitlab was hosted in google cloud, but there’s a lot of references to e.g., a hand rolled consensus system and self-managed database clusters. I’m wondering if this event changes the math on build vs. buy at all for gitlab, sounds like a lot of money has gone into this solution. How did that solution come up, is it about some specific Postgres features that aren’t available in googles hosted dbs or pricing?

2. Again on the google cloud angle, why are servers being hand-managed and rebooted? Elasticity in the cloud would make me think that the safest option would be to stand up parallel infrastructure (like in a DR plan) and migrate traffic. Was this just about speed of solution rollout? Does gitlab have plans to harden DR plans so that you can execute in cases like this? Whenever someone says they’re “in the cloud” and yet unable to treat servers like cattle, I get a bit worried.
Human brains (and bodies) are relentless optimizers. "Use it or lose it" applies to everything from muscle tone and flexibility up to higher cognitive stuff like mathematics. The reason nothing "sticks" is because kids stop using it the moment they stop being tested on it.

We treat education like an assembly line that's supposed to turn every kid into a productive member of society, using a one-size-fits-all curriculum. That's a wrong-headed approach. We should treat it like a mix between olympic trials and career fair. Identify the precocious and the enthusiastic in each subject area. Let teens decide what they want to do.

It won't work, however, until we give teens the right to self-determination. Helicopter parents trying to force their kids to be engineers or doctors, ability be damned, is one of the most pernicious factors in the sorry state of education. The other, perhaps equally pernicious, is the parents who can't or won't help their kids with anything despite their eagerness to learn.

> This works both ways: what data do you have that workers consider adjustments to things like meetings political acts?

Well no, you made an unsubstantiated claim. I'm just noting it was unsubstantiated. Given when I work, I suspect a survey of my co-workers would reach a different conclusion than you would.

As for why it might be political: encouraging certain working styles is political, is it not? Pushing people to work independently as opposed to collaboratively is a highly political choice.

I don't use many Siri commands but a few come in handy:

- "add milk to grocery list" — I have a reminder list called "Grocery" to make that happen. Makes it easy to add stuff as I realize I'm running low, then I can check it off in the Reminders app.

- "create appointment next {day} at {time} {title}" — I never use that one when I'm next to my computer, but when I'm around the house or after a doctor visit, it's usually accurate.

- "what time is it" — no I don't wear a watch. But when I'm hiking and I'm too lazy to pull my phone out, this comes in handy as it works though most pockets.

- "send text message to {person}", "call {person}" — when driving, that's a pretty seamless way to convey quick messages without touching the phone.

- "get directions to {place}" — I only use that for locations I know the phone will understand, like favorites or business names that are not ambiguous.

> Many of the engineers are still basically libertarian, some more "left" and some more "right".

What do you mean? Libertarianism exists precisely because it has principles that are sometimes endorsed by different sides of the political spectrum.
yes. A number of times.

A tremendously useful book that has the capability to blow open young minds that encounter it for the first time, and a book that can be mined for deeper insights many times around even after you decide you agree or disagree with his fundamental premises about cognition and consciousness, etc.

Hofstadter's wordplay may at times seem heavy handed or over the top but he is also doing something in his writing that allows you to experience something about consciousness while you read it that is pretty slippery. Reading his writing very seriously always has glimmers of experiential knowledge gained through psychedelics, meditation, etc that seem to go beyond the intellectual arguments he is making into the realm of the metaphysical.
I think your last paragraph is basically correct.

In college, I met a number of sincere libertarians that were skeptical of authority and very interested in a wide range of people having a pretty broad set of freedoms. When I started work in SF in 1997, I saw similar attitudes in a lot of people.

In that time, it seems to me the definition of "libertarian" has shifted to be much more about the freedom of people with a lot of money to do what they want without constraint. And a great deal of SF culture has since been priced out of the market; a lot of the weirdos, hippies, artists, and other people marching to the beat of their own drummer have had to march elsewhere.

The same seems to be true online. Eternal September is more than 25 years old. The early flowering of small communities, individual bloggers, and digital anarchosyndicalists seems to me to have been mostly supplanted by profit-seeking services run by a small number of very rich people.

It's probably inevitable. All that money was basically lying there. I can't be shocked that a bunch of people rushed in to scoop it up and damn the consequences, just like San Francisco's first gold rush. [1] But I do miss the more innocent times.

Off topic, but anyone else annoyed by these walls of contributor avatars in READMEs popular in the JS ecosystem? Occasionally they only include a handful of project members, with roles, so it could be mildly useful, but more often than not it’s a pointless list of just avatar and handle of everyone who ever fixed a typo, and if I want to see the list I’d better click on “contributors” which is built into every GitHub project. To me, this seems to be a manifestation of today’s front end devs’ utmost disrespect for people’s bandwidth.

Ironically, this README loads more than a hundred images but I can’t even find a desktop screenshot.
But we are talking about the source code representation of the API? Nobody cares about how its ordered or formatted: Google could change those aspects and programs would still link and run.

It's already possible: a monthly transit pass is often in the $100-150 range. The fact that people have been choosing to forego viable transit options in favor of a much more expensive personal vehicle option for a long time is strongly suggestive of the fact that people really don't want to give up their cars.
