I have two processes, depending on the content:

1. If I find something that looks interesting, but I don't know why or for what, I bookmark it and put it in a bookmark folder "To Read" in order to read later.

2. For things where there is a specific need it addresses (e.g., is relevant to a project I'm working on), I usually have one or more design docs going for each project I work on, and the link gets dropped into the reference section of the doc. That way, I can find it easily in the context of the thing I'm trying to do, and when I share the doc with others, they also will know where I'm coming from with my ideas.
And sometimes, it's great to just let an idea go and enjoy the present. Enjoying your loved ones, and just doing "nothing", has been my favorite part of life so far. I have returned to things I never thought I would get around to and ended up finishing them, but not all procrastination is bad. Go to work, work 8 hours, and then ride a unicycle with a bunch of clowns, eat pizza with friends.
> rewrites simply don't scale well.

I learned early on that rewriting a codebase is a lose-lose proposition: I’ll never suggest or recommend it again. Not because I don’t think it’s ever a good idea, but because it can only go wrong. If everything happens perfectly without a single hiccup or surprise, you’re still right back “where you started from” from the perspective of management. I worked on a massive rewrite porting a C++-based codebase to Java. The rewrite was actually suggested by “the business” because they were having trouble finding C++ developers and they noticed that Java developers were easier to come by. I was actually hired because I had a strong background in both, so I jumped right tin. I was too young and too naive to realize how backstabbing, conniving, and treacherous business people can be: I actually ended up being blamed for every surprise that came up during the rewrite process.

If you delete your remote backups, they are likely be deleted, eventually. If you don't delete your remote backups, they won't be deleted.

There's no business case for keeping backups around for Apple, unless they suddenly became an ad company and started mining your backups for personalization data.

That’s what “Agile” is when you read the Agile Manifesto.

For all of the billions of dollars Walmart is spending trying to be like Amazon, this is the one area they can nail Amazon directly in the gut. Amazon’s entire cashflow positive low margin growth model falls apart if Amazon was the one that had to try to be like Walmart. Once consumers think of Amazon like eBay or Craigslist, the cost to reverse that view will be massive or impossible. Ironically, I get electronics that are in great shape and undamaged from eBay, not the same experience from Amazon.

Right now Amazon is a giant flea market. It’s on par with Craigslist, and a little worse than eBay. When you buy something on eBay you know who it came from. Amazon, you know nothing. Try ordering 5x of the same thing from Amazon and see the wild variations in quality and condition they are in.
At one point I thought like this too, but then realized I also like to archive everything in case something jogs my memory and I want to go back and search the blob of "links that piqued my interest". So now I bookmark/save(reddit)/favorite(hn) everything that is even remotely interesting even if I have no intention of going back and consuming it. If the topic comes up again and I remember I bookmarked something like that, then I've got a jumping off point to dive deeper.
the great trick these companies and the government played on us was "You will be secure in your papers and effects but not ones located outside your home" so cloud backups were marketed just as the courts decided that they could invade your cloud data. It was a brilliant move towards mass surveillance.

I don't like how this is going...
That’s only for devices where the region is set as China. Why would it be a moot point elsewhere for that reason?
It's data ownership laws and adequate monitoring (including whistle blower laws with adequate rewards) and enforcement that is necessary. Replace "Google" with any unknown or known bad actor that can be taken over by a bad actor, and we return to the same problem.

So, basically, you do. Your bookmarking structure is OneNote. You just scope what it is that you're going to save.
Yeah, if you saved that click you also got the wrong idea. I even proposed a better official title. Makes me wonder if you read my comment at all.
Nope. I actually thought this was well known.

What did suck on Apple's part was that they wouldn't allow you to disconnect the actually end-to-end encrypted iMessages from the iCloud backups for many years.

So since most people kept their iCloud enabled, that meant their "iMessage end-to-end encryption" was nothing of the sort, as all messages had a copy that Apple could read on its servers.

I actually don't know if this is still true since I haven't used an iPhone in some time, but I sure hope it isn't anymore.
Very interesting to hear. I didn't realize Deno was "production ready", I'd been curious about it for a long time.

Your comment inspired me to study Deno deeper and consider it for practical use. In addition to the pros you've listed, seamless integration of TypeScript sounds fantastic.

Would love to hear more about how Deno is used in your company!
CFA is giving up significant revenue by closing on Sundays. There might be marginal benefits, but those are absolutely dwarfed by the revenue they have given up. Saturdays are the highest revenue day at most CFAs I know of, and I would guess that Sunday would match it or be right below it, were they to be open.
Measure the complexity of a language as the number of axioms required to define it. In reality, the C standard is incredibly brief, defining the core language in ~150 pages. This makes C simpler than languages like C++ and Java and the definition is not at all subjective and is useful.
If we're going to talk about missing the point: Which is the better way to prevent the loss?

1. Order item from Amazon, discover item is a block of clay, go through the Amazon returns process, reorder item, which may be a block of clay again.

2. Order item from a site that ships me the item I order instead of a block of clay.

So again, why are we talking about this? We can argue as much as we want about Amazon's return policies, but the return policy would be irrelevant if they had sent me the item I ordered instead of a block of clay.
100%. I used to have massive bookmark collections all extremely well organized. But at some point in time I realized it was a huge amount of effort and rarely go back and use them.

For links I want to keep, for say education, related to a project I'm working on, or similar - I simply write them down in Inkdrop (notepad system of choice) under the relevant note/header. Honestly I don't often go back to those anyways, but they are there if I need them.

For other stuff that I want to keep around for longer, maybe "This will be interesting to read, I just don't have time now" - I send them to myself on Telegram (messenger of choice). It's search works and it's a great timeline. If I don't think about that article/topic again, or don't have free time to go back... then it gets buried and I probably will never see it again. But the link always exists and is searchable... so I don't feel like I've "lost" things completely.

Sounds like it's not actually widely used then? Do you have any stats for the Houston metro ridership?

"De-identified data" is "somebody's records".

Also, for all the PR put behind the patient, Epic (and likely Cerner too) focus all their bizdev efforts on what the hospital and HMO administrators want, because they're the ones that sign the checks. Back when I worked there, they threw huge stacks of employees at customizing every installation, and significant developer effort at making broad customization possible. If patient care were the primary issue, every Epic implementation would be identical at the keyboard shortcut level. Hospital admins would have had to backdoor their customizations in by forcing their physicians and nurses to demand them as features. But instead, I saw page after page of customizations, inserting arbitrary administrator-created workflows on the staff via the software.
> Even if Android had E2E encrypted backups

They do. Including an independent third-party security audit.

> it leaks is so many other unpleasant ways

I recall Android security used to lag behind Apple at the device level, but I'm not sure that's still true with current hardware and OS. Could you educate us on the current state of Android data leaks?

For me, my device should have full-disk encryption, sandboxed apps and fine-grained control over app permissions. Both iPhone and Android have that.

Intentionally leaving iCloud insecure in the absence of legal compulsion is a sneaky evasion of all the much-ballyhooed device-level security.
Fitness routines and work are not the same thing. The former is IMHO pretty much a pointless waste of time (nothing bad will happen if you skip one day) and work usually just needs to be done eventually or there are serious consequences. The former thus needs self deception, while the latter just requires realization/visualization of its necessity and of the dire consequences.
> Cost prohibitive doesn't mean there's no money, it means money used wouldn't be worth it.

Yes, light rail sucks (you will get no argument from me on that). Its basically the least functional of all public transit, and often times I believe is put in to make people hate transit since it is less functional

> As for road expenditures, in both Houston and Dallas, a large amount of new money towards them use private money on toll roads

That's great that they have toll roads. I still think most people completely underestimate how unsustainable this type of development is. In 50 years these sunbelt cities will be falling apart with strip malls collapsing and pot holes in the roads.

The compromise version of this: use Pinboard. Make liberal use of the "read later" function and close the tab. Never open the "read later" list on Pinboard. You've now dealt with your desire to save it for the future in the least inconvenient way.

(Slightly more seriously, if you get Pinboard archiving you can actually search the saved text of the bookmarks)
During the time when Maciej was campaigning (he supported several US Senate candidates), Pinboard was constantly broken. Archiving rarely worked.

And if you don't have a decent test suite, you might as well build one. So much of a rewrite is archaeology, figuring out what elements of a system are intentional versus accidental. A great way to do that archaeology is to start weaving a net of tests around the existing system.

One way of looking at innovation is through the lens of the efficient market hypothesis. If the market were 100% efficient there would be no opportunities, every idea that could currently work would already be exploited fully. However, the market makes mistakes. People miss opportunities, discount them, etc. Almost by definition then, innovation requires going against the intuition of the market/crowd. Phrased another way, opportunities only exist where most people think they don't. So to be an innovator, you must be a contrarian about the thing you're innovating. Once you realize that, there is no paradox. It could not be otherwise.
Please define your terms.

Why do I have to use a phone in its place? Apple products aren't a basic human necessity. I like to think I can just use a phone for the sake of wanting a phone, not to replace the void that not being an Apple consumer leaves in my soul, or something.

What exactly do you mean by "basic aspects of modern life"?

I have a desktop PC, a laptop, a work laptop, a LineageOS (Android-based) phone, and a VR headset for gaming. Anything I want out of modern tech, I either already have or doesn't exist yet.
At this point I'll believe it when I see it. I am not saying climate change isn't happening but predictions like this are not useful.

This exact same prediction was made in 2007. These sorts of predictions are no better than what a fortune teller can offer.

I keep it quite simple - I have a handful of folders related to my projects and hobbies. I add related links there, and sort through them, deleting bookmarks when no longer needed, probably once a month or so. For anything outside those topics, I add it to the main bookmarks bar in the browser, and catch up on those things on weekends, deleting them when read.

Of course, it sounds like we have different filters. You said you add a bookmark when you "saw something cool". I only add bookmarks that I believe will have a positive impact on the things I do in my life. There is new cool stuff online every day... I personally let most of it go by, because there will be something else tomorrow.
A notable thing about unix commands is that they're usually very short: "cd", "ls", "grep", "sed", "cat", etc. This is obviously a remnant of earlier times, but I actually think that it serves the unix command quite well even today. These are commands you want to type quickly and many right after another. Powershell's "Get-ChildItem" and "Select-String" are annoyingly verbose in comparison.
Minor nitpick. His whole description about how "fluid information" works and how it's so much better than rigid/siloed hierarchy:

Really it's tree-based vs tag-based organization [1][2].

Tag-based organization turns the collection into a graph. Simple as that. IMO it's the superior way, since a graph is kinda like a superset of a tree, but there is nothing novel that was done by Roam here. You could have tag-based file systems too [3].

Note: when you have tags, it has to be capable of multiple-tags (not just one), otherwise it's not much different from a tree structure.

Hi, I have a couple of suggestions:

- add "Show HN" to the title of your post

- make sure that you're actually sharing something instead of just advertising

I'm interested in faster deep learning. There is no way that I would message you, ask to see your code, go through it and then give you feedback. On the other hand, if you link to a repository, I'm sure that many people on HN will be happy to give you feedback.
I have a folder called "To Read" where I keep articles that I plan on reading eventually. Within that folder there's a sub-folder called "Read" that's pretty self-explanatory.

ColdFusion URL traversals were the first servers I cracked as part of the OSCP course. They seemed to be pretty horrible! A rewrite definitely sounds appropriate.

I thought iMessage private keys are somehow based on data in the "secure enclave" chip, and thus not able to be stored in the cloud. It's my understanding that Apple could add new "devices" to listen in on future conversations, but it can't read iMessage conversations in transit between existing devices.

It can also read iCloud backups of conversation content, which are created by the client device after decrypting the message. But that's not the same as storing the private key itself in the backup.

Happy to have my understanding updated...

I just find it strange that they haven't put CPU and memory on the same die, is there a specific reason for that? I mean over the years more and more components have been integrated into the CPU - north / southbridge (I forgot what those were for), GPUs, etc. Why not RAM? There's L1/2/3 cache on there as well.

In Firefox, I do these things:

1: When I bookmark something, I make sure I add 3+ short tags. "emacs" "orgmode" "LaTeX". Or "devops" "helm" "plugin".

2: I use a Firefox extension to set a default folder for new bookmarks. It's called "Default Bookmark Folder"

3: I use the SingleFile Firefox extension set to save a copy of every page I bookmark to my Google Drive. This enables me to keep a snapshot of the page so I can refer back to it whenever I want. I use this as the directory structure: "Saved\Web\$YEAR\$MONTH\$ISODATE\$PAGETITLE.html" - example "Saved\Web\2020\01\2020-01-21\Ask HN: How do you manage your bookmarks.html"

Firefox's history and bookmark search are great. Its "library" window is very useful (ctrl-j or command-j)

EDIT:

I organize my firefox bookmarks toolbar on the same "bar" as the urlbar. So it goes something like this: bookmarks(gmail, music, work folder, personal folder). Back/Forward/Reload/Home. Urlbar. Extensions Icons.

EDIT2: Big shoutout to the SingleFile Firefox extension. The author, https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=gildas is a really great person who implemented my suggestion to add the feature to SingleFile to save pages when bookmarked. They deserve all the praise and more people should use this excellent extension (which is available for Chrome, too)
The chances of receiving a counterfeit in general are very low. And there are some who've accused Amazon of selling counterfeits directly, so the odds there aren't 0.
