I like the author’s enthusiasm for organizing personal information. That was me from about 15 years ago to about 3 years ago.

I stopped spending time and effort when I realized how little I used my organized notes. Specifically, I used Evernote and had my personal information wonderfully organized, but rarely used it. Now I use something simpler:

For work: about 20 Emacs org-mode files for various topics. I use grep to find stuff.

For personal: at different times I have used Apple Notes or Google Keep to maintain todo lists, shopping lists, notes on present and future writing projects, planning travel, etc. Both support search. I spend very little time writing these notes and they are useful. A few times a year, I spend a few minutes deleting notes I don’t need anymore.

Anyway, thinking about cost/benefits, not spending much time organizing my own information makes sense to me.

The turning point was spending months of part time hacking writing my own Evernote’s clone in Clojure in the backend, a Firefox plugin, and a web app. It was a fun project, but mire fun writing it than using it.

Oh, this is my PR!

Also worth taking a look at the RFC[0] and the original issue[1].

Just to address some questions in the comments:

These operators had no equivalent in PowerShell previously, but they’d always been planned from the outset. If you look at the diffs in the parser, one of the things taken out is a comment where we parse `&&`/`||` saying something like “we should implement this for v3” (I can’t seem to get a link on my phone but don’t have a computer handy). In [1], mklement0 gives an excellent history of the request for these operators. I owe a blog post on this, so hopefully I can expand upon that.

Also, the pwsh/PowerShell thing exists partially because of needing to exist side-by-side with Windows PowerShell and partially because it wasn’t always clear that PowerShell 7 would be the direction of PowerShell into the future.

As a result, pwsh refers to PowerShell 6/7. PowerShell 6 was called PowerShell Core, but since PowerShell 7 has restored compatibility with a lot of Windows functionality, we’ve dropped the Core for PowerShell 7. And since PowerShell 5.1 and below are bound to Windows, they’re now qualified as Windows PowerShell.

Finally, a lot of users call PowerShell `posh`, but that was already the name of a shell in the Linux ecosystem, and after an early lesson with clobbering native utilities with aliases on *nix, the PowerShell team wanted to be good citizens.

Feel free to fire any questions at me too!

Don't blame the victim. "She shouldn't have dressed that way." "He shouldn't have been in that neighborhood." It's disgusting to do this.

And the answer is "no". I got counterfeit Fiesta-ware at full price just recently.
I don't want to dismiss somebody else's life experience because it looks too fancy. I have nothing against honest self promotion, it's someone's story and I clicked on the article after reading the headline. I have no indication that this person is pretending or faking it. Also, even without all the quirky things, there are plenty of things to be jealous of. Like all the different things he tried his hands at, the freedom to just up and leave a pretty successful thing.

I realize that these articles suffer from the connecting the dots thing, where people make connection in the present which they would never have in the past. But that is besides my point, even if he failed at all those things, I am still jealous he had the chance to try all these things.
My home page is a hand crafted page of links to the sites I use the most. Each row contains links on a particular type of site like social networks, financial sites, news sites, hobby sites etc. I have a simple script that makes it easy to add a new site, but I haven't added one for a couple of years. Bookmarks are still just a big list in a menu - sites I don't want to forget about, but not ones I visit often. So when I need to visit one, searching the list isn't too onerous.
I used to work at the company that built https://gurn.io/ it's a bit different to bookmarks but the sharing features have been amazing. My entire team at work uses it now.

The tldr is it maps urls to key words / phrases that we input. Those mappings go into a shared list, using the browser extension you can then search for them in the browser bar.

We tend to plow in tons of stuff, some of which we may never use, but countless times I've bashed in a phrase out of pure hope and found a team member or me in the past have added the resource in.

Lists are a bit like repos, you can have private ones just for you or you can share them, and they can all be searched at the same time.

It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's free at the moment for non-enterprises.

Not an expert on Houston, but did spend the past weekend there.

There's definitely a big car factor there. I had reserved a mid sized rental car to get to and from the airport and around the car centric area I was staying. When I got to the rental car center they apologized and said they were out of mid sized cars and said I could take a truck, a large suv, a jeep wrangler or what she referred to as a 2 door. It turns out a 2 door was a dodge challenger (large, overpowered and fuel inefficient car). The representative said they got rid of all the smaller cars because no one would be willing to rent them.

The concentration of pickup trucks being driven as day to day commuting vehicles seemed quite high as well.

> I believe the founders operate on this idea and it's refreshing.

Many founders do, and that's why they price themselves out of the market. That's simply not how people make purchase decisions. There are many, many products out there that are "worth more" than the price. If you think you can charge $30/month for a product because your customers will get $31/month worth of value from it, you won't have many customers.

Thats definitely true in many cases, and Im sure its driven largely by the traffic patterns. I can add that once you get inside of beltway 8, its usually a pretty easy drive. It is the part between 99 and beltway 8 (usually about 5-10 miles iirc) that takes 50% of the commuting time.

Along those lines, Chef's install.sh is the most impressive install shell script I've seen:

If you want this to actually work, you take a box fan, and 2 filters. You make a triangle and then some cardboard on the top and bottom to fill the gap. This increases surface area and reduces the stress on the fan due to pressure drop. Slapping a filter directly on to the box fan is going to kill the fan very quickly. https://i.imgur.com/SX1RloH.jpg

However, after talking to some of my colleagues who work here and those who have moved on, the certifications are great resume builders. They get you discovered on linkedin and in many cases demonstrate some level of knowledge, specifically with the AWS certifications.

Edit: And yes, you can generally choose what you get to work on as long as it's related to the field, and depending on your managers, specifically to your organization. For example, we use AWS, so AWS certs are an easy yes - Salesforce too. However, I tend test the limits and even put in to see if the Google cert from this thread is eligible, but our goals for the year aren't clear yet - so we'll see.

The risk of counterfeits means I will rarely buy anything electronic from Amazon.

On the other hand, take a category like pet toys. Cheap plastic things where I'm not concerned with getting the genuine article, like a collapsible dog bowl. There are dozens of identical "brands" with thrown-together phonetic names for an entirely identical product with slight price differences. How do I began to choose? And who's to say any of them are produced with safe materials?

I'd really like to know how well Amazon's "put anything on the digital shelf" strategy works over a curated product inventory. Exceedingly well, I suspect, but it seems like the blowback over poor product will continue increasing.
I'm pretty sure you can find chain restaurants anywhere, including right on Times Square. Just because someone recommended it to you doesn't mean you suddenly lost all agency. If you know that you dislike chain restaurants, why would you make one the primary place you visited in the city?
Lately I've trying to learn Swedish. Sometimes EN to SE translations are fairly direct, but other times you have to adopt a different mode of thinking before you can properly translate what you wish to say. In English, we can use the verb "to think" in a fairly versatile manner:

- I think it's a good film (expressing a normative judgement)

- I think she is the SVP (expressing a value-neutral belief)

- I'm thinking about it (expressing the act of contemplation)

Yet if you're a native English speaker, I don't think it feels particularly versatile (at least it doesn't to me). This is just what thinking is about. By contrast, the Swedes consider these cases wholly distinct, and have different words for each.

- Jag tycker att filmen är bra

- Jag tror att hon är den SVP

- Jag tänker på det

Most English speakers have a very difficult time getting these straight. I don't really have a final word here. I just think this is a nice illustration of why the weaker version of this theory resonates with me lately.
To add to my other comment where I mentioned AWS. Salesforce Certifications are favorably viewed on as well. Our employer paid for the developer training AND the admin training, as a result, we were expected to get the certification. That may or may not happen, but there is a great deal to be learned in the training courses and I think the certification drives you to study, explored, and ultimately retain much of what you learn.
Microsoft, Tech Firms Fight Rule Restricting Low-Income Immigrants
A few replies.

First, I don't believe this is actually an issue for people with 35k salaries as a whole. The vast majority of Americans do not have savings in excess of $1k let alone the ability to make an investment in the ballpark you're talking about.

Secondly, if this is true - why is the "long term" tax capped at 1 year? And not 10? Or adjusted for the length of an investment? To me the answer is because it's not designed to fix this problem.
Could it be that there just isn't a single page in the web with the exact error?
It would really be interesting to see the amount spent on fuel -- as a proxy for driving -- in the summer vs the fall/spring.

While everyone on here advocating for fewer cars and more alternatives (walking, biking, public transportation) is correct for all the usual reasons (environment), there are several issues that make it harder in Houston:

1. The heat in the summer

2. There isn't mixed use housing. Walking by restaurants and cafes and people in NYC is a pleasant experience. Walking over sidewalks in the heat without a person in site is not as pleasant.

I think if they start more mix use housing (several brave souls try every year), and as they become successful, we will see more walking in the good seasons.

I know, it feels like we don't have that kind of time, but hopefully we can plant more trees in the meantime to slow it all down.

Ask HN: What should wantrepreneur do to create a successful business?
For over 10 years, I have wanted to start something. Really hard, wanted. I have started some websites in the hope to get a big enough niche audience; started youtube channel too.

I am trying to get new ideas done. But after one day of my job, I am exhausted and I cannot extract any brain-juice any more. And if I try to work during the week-ends, I can't rewind enough for the next week. And my progress are damn slow. It seems I would need a year to achieve what a good programmer could do in a week.

Creating a successful business seems to me like the only viable career path to me. I don't see myself as a good employee. So this is not a long-term plan. And I have never learned to do anything else, I am not even a graduate. So the only thing left is to create some things, and be successful enough in at least one to make a living out of it.

What should I do?
You visit a city apparently without doing any planning or research, you rely on an Uber driver for recommendations, then declare the city culturally dead when you end up at (what is essentially) Applebee's?

I currently live in the suburbs of Austin and I hope that one day I have a self driving car so that I can live further out of the city and have more space because I want a big workshop. I'll gladly trade easy access to restaurants and museums for access to tools and quiet.

The Unknown History of Digital Cash
It brings me memories from my old Turbo C 2.0 years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Turbo_C) ;-)
I used to go to NYU medical, which uses Epic. As janky as their interface is, it was nice enough to use and see all my charts, etc, as well as communicate with doctors over email. So when I moved to another city I specifically chose a medical system that used Epic. Once I got my login I then logged into my NYU Epic to initiate a data transfer and wouldn't you know it... it was impossible. After digging around to no avail I contacted my new provider and they told me the best thing to do is print out a PDF of my medical history in NYU's Epic and they would scan it back into their Epic... with a complete loss in structured historical data (bloodwork, vitals etc). Insane.

It's also tinted by the fact that learning a skill is usually logarithmic. If you are a student with no pot-making skills, those first few pots are gonna give a lot of XP. I think it'd be a different outcome if done with more experienced potters.
I suppose because when tech, like Google, comes along Epic gaslight, obstructs, and projects their way in the media to becoming the good guy.

Healthcare IT is full of deeply committed professionals who deeply dislike Epic.

I just moved to NYC from Durham, NC, and I braced for the change in COL.

But I don't think it's as bad as people say, and I think a big part is transportation.

The 1 month Metrocard costs about what I was spending on gas in a month of commuting with a 124 Spider (not the most fuel efficient car, but very far from a gas guzzler)

Once maintenance and insurance are included, the Metrocard is cheaper (as I take trips outside of work).

In case it helps any others in a similar situation:

My partner and I suffered from a miscarriage and then a seeming inability to fall pregnant again. All of the tests we did came back fine - everyone just said "keep trying" but eventually we started to see "unexplained infertility" appearing in the medical notes which was crushing and terrifying.

To cut a long, emotionally painful, and expensive story short, we almost accidentally found out my partner has some quirk in their immune system: NK cells (CD16+, CD56+). This does not appear to be something that is routinely checked for.

A quick consultation at a specialist consultant, a small number of some very benign tablets along with 1 home injection (very cheap - perhaps £80/month) and two months later - after literally years - we were naturally pregnant.

37 weeks so far and everything is completely ordinary and normal - a huge relief compared to where we were several years ago.

If you are in a similar situation, please know that there may be a way out. It is a very dark road, but there can be light at the end of the tunnel. Talk about the NK cells with your doctor and see what they say - the NHS in the UK pooh-poohed it (despite being prepared to give us IVF at significant expense), but it worked for us when going privately, and the consultant's waiting room was full of pregnant women so we're not just a fluke I guess. I just hope that oen day this enters the mainstream so that people can try it before IVF and other invasive treatments.
