For one, taskwiki, which if you use task means you have a great way to bang a checkbox in a vimwiki file and have that create a task.

MY company uses outlook so I sync the outlook calendar to khal using vdirsyncer. I then can use a (really janky) vimscript function of my own devising to add the calendar and some standard stuff to a "daily note". So I go <leader>ww and it creates a note for the day and adds my calendar and then I use that for all the basic notes for the day.

vimoutliner for when I absolutely want an actual outliner to do some planning. It's not always the right tool, but when it is, it's great, and it integrates perfectly with fzf. The other thing is that because notational-fzf is just doing a fuzzy find over text, I point it at all my sourcecode dirs for immediate jumping to particular files, functions etc in sourcecode.

Internet penetration in Brazil at the time of Orkut's dominance alone makes this almost certainly false without some interesting qualifications.
Randeep Hothi is just a "marginal troll", jealous of Musk's success . . . then he got tagged: . . . "Two days later, Hothi learned, to his surprise, that his real name was all over Twitter—and on a restraining order, to boot. No one served him in person, but the day after he published his tweets, Tesla lawyers had gone to a court in Alameda County and told a judge that Hothi had “stalked, harassed, and endangered” the employees in the Model 3."
ehm, are you not forgetting the small detail that if you forget to contribute to your "investment" (i.e. your house, i.e. pay your mortgage) this month, you become homeless?

> Paying your mortgage feels more urgent than contributing to a brokerage account

Of course it does, because if you spend your monthly brokerage allowance on a fancy dinner and booze, nothing too bad will happen. If you spend your mortgage payment on booze and steaks, you lose your house.

That's not a "mind trick", that's a real problem with serious repercussions. Housing is not just an investment for most people, it's THE investment, with life-changing, family destroying consequences if you don't keep it afloat.
This is true to a point but I've also watched debates that go something like this:

Homeowners: This is going to overcrowd the schools!

School superintendent: Actually we've run the numbers, we have plenty of capacity and we welcome the additional tax revenue.

Political ads: This is going to overcrowd the schools!

Voters: This is going to overcrowd the schools!

I've never seen any ads saying "Protect our property values!" It's "always" about the schools, or the roads, or something else noble. I'm sure in many cases the concerns are legitimate but even when they're not, they're still the concerns.
Housing as investment is a mindtrick, and a dangerous one at that.

With it often comes property taxes. There's the time and cost of maintenance. There's the friction of being able to easily relocate for a better paying job.

Worst of all, past performance is no indication of future returns. That is, it's possible your property won't appreciate, at least not sufficiently. For example, think Detroit. Or beachfront property in say 25 yrs. Or McMansions. Will smaller less consumption-minded families in the future want them?

Housing works as an investment because everyone is in on the scheme. The gov. The banks. Everyone. And it's still a roll of the dice.

fathom - Looks great. I am OK with closed source products (my motivation is self-hosting/privacy) but the direction is not clear to me. Maybe they will have a blog about it at some point - https://github.com/usefathom/fathom/issues/268. Having multiple code bases is going to be super hard.

goaccess.io - this analyses web logs

google-analytics-proxy - project is dead

matomo - this is what i use now and it works great. has a lot of quirks but if you spend some time, you can make it work.

ackee, goatcounter - simple but looks like this does not track users/sessions. it's mostly for page hits.

It doesn't degrade and accumulates in the body (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluorooctanoic_acid#Human_d...), where it looks like it acts like a "biological handgrenade" (a nifty term I heard elsewhere).

"PFOA is not rapidly eliminated from the human body, with a half-life of 3.8 years in human blood, thus raising the public concerns over the toxicological implications due to internal exposure." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4817033/)

That's elimination from retired "fluorochemical production workers" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17805419/).
Let's not forget most of the good JVM tooling, especially early on in Java's history, was and is 3rd party and most cost money. Even today, it's still a sea of confusion, especially if you are new to all of this. For example if I search for "best JVM profiler", I get a list of 10 results all claiming some form or fashion of being "the best" or "most popular"

As someone who spent the first half of their career on the JVM and now is mostly Go, I don't understand how someone who has been on the JVM most their life can say Go's tooling is "the worst" Most of the things you have to configure and tweak on the JVM and profile for aren't even considerations in Go, because they are either simply non-issues in Go, or don't exist (because Go does not have a virtual machine to begin with)

yeah, that might be true if we built cities where the only means of transportation was public transit. But I'm thinking of all those skyscrapers in SF, and how many folks make 1-2 hour commutes to work in them.
I can tell you that most people inside of Apple would be shocked if such a thing occurred. I doubt the code pathway / infrastructure even exists to do such a thing. There’s always the possibility of strange things happening that only the right 1-2 people know about.... although it’s probably have to be many more given the number of changes that would be needed to be made to propagate a special one off code signed OS OTA. That would likely have a whistleblower somewhere.

The reality is it’s way easier to just exploit a weakness that you can text someone [1].

But if you’re dressed in tin foil hat to toe, then there’s nothing that I can say to convince you. At that point I’d suggest not using any computing technology that you don’t personally build yourself and watch 24/7.

This is Tesla not WeWorks. We often see companies having high valuation and this same sort of comment plays out. Implying that they have to deliver more cars than Volkswagen is also implying that their cars are equivalent. They are not. Tesla is the future, we saw this with Netflix. Folks couldn't understand it or believe it till blockbuster went broke.
Where'd you get that number from? The sources I can find say Apple's gross margin is a bit under 40%. (Tesla's by comparison hovers around 20%.)
Ask HN: What data points do POS systems send to Credit Card Companies / Banks?
What are modern POS systems sending to the banks and visa when you make a transaction?

Of course there would be the amount charged, but is the itemization from the receipt sent as well? For example, if I bought a $10.83 book, and 83 cents of that was tax, does VISA or my bank actually know that?

It is not specific to Tesla.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_value

If we assume a 3% inflation rate, 2030s earnings need to be discounted by 34%. 2040s earnings by 56%. And 2040s earnings by 71%.

As you can see, even 2040 earnings still have a substantial impact on today's value.

If there were more housing close to those skyscrapers; if it were legal to build it, those people would have shorter commutes - and occupy less land to boot.

Instead, San Fran is one of the NIMBYest cities on the planet and so all those people are forced to come in from further afield.
They should have gone with Go. It's also Wirthian in spirit and is likely to get you a job.
Don't know if everyone sees it this way, but imo this makes the brand attraction stronger.

Everyone seems to miss the biggest reason why Tesla has won and the other companies won't be able to catch them. The dealer network.

The Nissan Leaf came out and was way ahead of everyone but nobody bought it because they couldn't find it. The dealers would hide the car in the back and avoid showing it to you. There was no incentive for them to get you in a Nissan Leaf because they would make profits, negligible ones, on the sale but the place they make their money is maintenance and that would deplete their profits.

The issue with this is the dealerships aren't owned by the organization so the incentives aren't aligned. If GM/Ford/Toyota create the best EV the dealer won't have any incentive to sell them until unless they make up significant profits, which means they would have to make up 5-7 years of maintenance profits on the initial sale. In essence they will just sell their land and move on and have to take a loss. The smart dealers sold their stake in the dealerships and now the suckers are holding onto the last bit hoping to get out.

The dealerships we have now Ford/GM/Chrysler/Toyota/Volkswagen/Nissan are all going to disappear, that's why their valuation is justified. The only competitors are going to be the new car companies because they will adopt the same model Tesla has where they own their own dealerships. It's why the current Auto companies and dealers are lobbying to not allow Tesla to own their own dealership.
Which is good. Lock-in is disgusting and is a huge reason not to use Apple.
> Also, Musk is right: no one else has even come close to matching the 2012 Model S. Tesla's lead is starting to look unassailable (in the medium term).

This is kinda sorta true, if you ignore non-performance factors, but also no one actually needs what Model S provides. In the classic setup for disruption Tesla isn't the disruptor, it's the established "high quality use" getting disrupted. It is not very unreasonable to expect the growing "good enough" products in China to claim much of the world's car market.
Their charging infrastructure is pretty good lock in, especially if you install one of their chargers in your house.
Think about the mapping between features and UA strings. Over time features are added or removed. So those mappings grow stale.

Check out feature detection vs browser detection, it explains some of the challenges to relying on user agent strings.

I think the rule is: detect features, don't rely on unreliable proxies for features.

The license you had until yesterday (which he's free to use the code under as it was available yesterday) allows him to sell a service that uses your program.

If he's actually redistributing the software without including the license then that's another thing.

Did he? What kind of government money did Tesla get? I am not aware of any specific money paid to Tesla, only general benefits for electric cars, which were paid to the buyers, not Tesla. Not like GM, which got billions in a government-bailout, which they used to build their charging network /s.
That's a good point, though this may still happen between superchargers and Telsa apps/games - which could leverage your historical driving data.
I feel like you're painting the second option as bad when it's exactly the same flow as buying gas. Nothing about paying for electricity needs an account and more than buying gas does. I agree that Tesla's system is pretty slick but the alternative isn't bad.

Would Tesla's supercharger charging network fill that role of "lock-in"?
It's fuzzy, but that doesn't make it invalid.

Consider that a ban on cutting 'old growth forests' is really just a 100% tax in market terms.

Carbon taxes can be calculated to have a specific effect, though the impact of the revenue itself on green R&D etc. is impossible to really measure.
I posted the link to the dev stack of the most popular websites already:

So with php is definitely possible to build large web apps as it is possible with other stacks. However compared to other languages with php it is very easy to get started as well as mainly the first dev setup is quite easy, although for professional work there might be no difference between the different stacks...
It looks like until 14 hours ago, your project had an Apache 2.0 license, which explicitly allows any usage of your code. Additionally, the “you must include this notice” requirement applies only to redistributions of the code (and running it as SaaS somewhere isn’t a redistribution).

I think the real question here is... why are you upset about this? Apache does indeed mean I permit everyone to use my software in anyway they see fit. Do you regret that? Or did you not fully understand the implication of the Apache license?

Maybe you think that bundling up your software and making money is immoral—-however someone put significant effort into making a pretty website, running it 24/7, and providing customer service, they are adding something on top of what you made.

If I take an Apache 2.0 JSON parser and make a website that pretty-parses JSON and I convince people to pay me, am I doing anything wrong?
User agents ARE feature detection, but for the server.

Now I tend to agree with the general advice that anywhere you can use JS based feature detection, you should prefer that.

But hell, there are times js based feature detection REALLY doesn't cut it.

For example, here's the Chromium team recommending UA based feature detection for handling the SameSite kerfuffle:

I don't have time for a point by point refutal right now, and there are some valid points raised in this document, but in sum this really is just shameful propaganda which overstates the problems with nuclear and doesn't seem to acknowledge modern technological developments. The first paragraph of the conclusion really tells you everything you need to know about the author's unreasonable bias:

>Nuclear power is a clunky technology borne out of a bygone Cold War era. Its best days are over and it cannot form a key
part of sustainable energy policy.

The waste problem in particular I think is overstated, and costs are deliberately presented in a way as to appear expensive - neglecting just how much clean power comes from the "1,000,000 each" dry casks - and it is disingenuous to even by implicitly equate this with environmental pollution because this waste is contained and not released into the atmosphere like other forms of dirty power.

Hit pieces like this are the reason that we are in climate crisis now - when we could have cheaply and sustainably solved energy needs decades ago with nuclear, with some marginal risk to civilizations thousands of years into the future.
Hmm: "ektor.io is not a service, it's a software you own forever after downloading it"

Google says the Porsche costs about $25k more, so there's that.
I'm surprised at this sentiment. The other major auto makers have had at least 5 years now to show what they can do in regards to developing EVs and the results are not good.

Nissan's leaf is a solid car but with the recent departure of Ghosn the future is in doubt. Many of the American auto makers are still focused on squeezing as much as they can from SUVs and don't inspire confidence that they will be able to produce a quality vehicle to threaten Tesla's potential customer base.

The limited (read luxury) SKUs, word of mouth, and differentiated software give Tesla a distinct advantage over traditional autos. In the past it was viable to worry about execution but with the new gigafactory and China expansion underway , coupled with recent sales figures it's difficult to bet against them.
Did you just dismissed Apple (and other hardware companies) as a tech company?
I noticed that tourists and people new to the area are the only ones looking up. I sometimes force myself to look up, which helps me appreciate the beautiful city around me.
Given that they previously had a surprise profit in the last quarter, there is also a degree of risk in what happens in the next quarter as they have been unprofitable for years despite huge revenues.

Normally, I would stay away from throwing money at anything that is at an all time high (ATH) and would sell now or close to less than the ATH price at this point before it starts to dive with a wave of sellers.
> It's why the current Auto companies and dealers are lobbying to not allow Tesla to own their own dealership.

More like they simply want to remain the parasitic middleman. In practice, no one needs dealerships to begin with these days. They fight through corruption, because they are already obsolete.
