I think older people accept bad things as "normal" because they were more common. Having something bad that happens to 1 in 5 people is awful, but having something that affects 1 in 50 people feels worse. As tech and medicine improves this problem will probably become more prevalent.

I would love to experience him hook up a c64 to an amplifier in a church and play these songs. Would it sound the same as the recording on the website?
There are some ... "interesting" ... edge cases around shared blocklists, most especially where those:

1. Become large.

2. Are shared.

3. And not particularly closely scrutinised by users.

4. Via very highly followed / celebrity accounts.

There are some vaguely similar cases of this occurring on Twitter, though some mechanics differ. Celebs / high-profile users attract a lot of flack, and take to using shared blocklists. Those get shared not only among celeb accounts but their followers, though, because celebs themselves are a major amplifying factor on the platform, being listed effectively means disappearing from the platform. Particularly critical for those who depend on Twitter reach (some artists, small businesses, and others).

Names may be added to lists in error or malice.

This blew up summer of 2018 and carried over to other networks.

Some of the mechanics differ, but a similar situation playing out over informally shared Web / search-engine blocklists could have similar effects.
For Windows users who prefer native apps and control over their data, Connected Text (paid, closed source ultimate kitchen sink with 30 days trial)[1] and WikiPad (free, open-source wiki engine)[2] are good alternatives to Roam.

Personally, I use TreeSheets [3] for note-taking and try to organize them as nodes in yEd [4] when I want to gain insight, but that quickly grows out of control and becomes unmanageable. Auto-linking and graph overview are extremely powerful features in this regard, but my gripe with e.g. Roam's approach (judging by screenshots) is that you can't visually filter out all the nodes at ones and "walk" the paths in a filtered graph -- that's why I consider switching from yEd to VUE [5], which has more decent filtering/search/layering/grouping options.

In general, [6] and [7] have good coverage of existing note-taking and mind-mapping tools.

Does Roam have any data export options though? If so, I might give it a try.

It can happen at maximum speed. Before you say that Falcon is not at full throttle when at maximum speed, sure. Let's assume the worst case scenario, Falcon reaches max q and due to a glitch throttles up to full throttle and starts veering off course. This is a worst case scenario probably, and I was surprised that SpaceX did not test this extreme possibility.

That's our point. Testing with the assumption that Falcon accepts throttle down command from the Dragon seems like a waste of test scenario.
For those coming across this post later, here is a nice comparison of FastSpring, Paddle, Gumroad, and Avangate [1] (in fact the whole post is an interesting read).

It also sounds like Quaderno [2] + Stripe is a common and decent combo.

I think I'll go with Paddle for now. It sounds simple and safe.

I self-taught myself linear algebra from Strang's book, combined with his lectures (on youtube). I wouldn't say that his approach is proof-heavy at all. Furthermore, the proofs in LA are rather easy and mechanical, compared to other areas of maths (and also, you can just skip them when reading).

My wife was a palliative care nurse. She has seen hundreds of patients in the late stages of their lives. She has always told me she wants to go well before she reaches that stage and has a do not resuscitate order.

I would imagine many other nurses and doctors would feel the same way. You may want to expose yourself to people who only have "brief moments of lucidity" otherwise be careful what you wish for or you might receive it.

> But then again I know of three people that died when the car they were working on fell off the jack.

Yikes. I had my car fall off once when I was standing next to it getting ready to go under. Now I put two sets of jackstands under it, and give the car a hard shake first.
Also all "free on Audible.com" links simply go to their own page telling the reader to sign up for a free trial with a referral link, instead of audiobooks that are free on Audible. Uhm, so it is NOT free on Audible, and that seems fishy and scammy as well. I understand making money in general (Audible) and referral links (this site), but just tell me, don't skirt around it please and pretend something is free when it isn't.

It isn't immediately obvious that it is, to me. Could you expand on that?

For example, what works for html is basically the dom (data structure) and its functionality (the functions). There are others ways of creating and working with those than the specific html syntax. For example, haml. Or you might say, jsx, or elm,is also such a syntax for the same data structures.

These other approaches work perfectly fine, too.
The trick to avoiding this problem is to keep Julia "warm" with a long running process. There are a few ways to do this - Jupyter, the Juno IDE, and vim/neovim with a terminal pane are all popular - but the most straightforward is to switch from `julia file.jl` to

```

julia

julia> include("file.jl") # when you want to reload, ctrl-c then arrow-up and enter to include again

```

This isn't so dissimilar to MATLAB in some respects: you don't restart MATLAB every time you want to re-run your code.
It would be interesting to see how everyone reacts to an instant death switch or ability to set your own death date lower or higher than your natural life expectancy without society having control over it. Not only people want control over their lives but once they get it, they will naturally want to control others.

I wonder about the ethical complications. If someone is dying from heart attack but you can save him every time he goes through it, will you force that even if the person want to die via heart attack? At what point do you differentiate between suicide or ability to quit it?
Everyone should use whatever keyboard makes them happy, and that includes choosing one that is most comfortable for them; the study of physical ergonomics can sometimes help with that.

If we’re making general claims that a specific device will prevent a medical condition then we need evidence from clinical studies.

Clojure was a new language from scratch and uses s-expression-like syntax.

Generally, s-expressions is not a particular popular or needed tool. We've seen similar systems for code data&representations though - for example XML was used to represent code, too.
How (not) to start a revolution in decentralized identity
During my last endeavour I had to make high-frequency (1kHz+) plot on the web. Tried literally everything. Only tech that stood out was (webGL + websockets), amazingly working with firefox (but not chrome). So the perf conclusions of the article stands.
"This isn't a new thing! Look we already have this superficially similar thing!" is a common argument in favour of changes to the status quo, especially when people believe the change is negative. It's intellectually dishonest.

I actually like the pricing model. Because it is very cheap for the user and the creator can make a lots of money by scaling. I am a strong oponnent of high prices for SaaS for so many reasons. First, it discriminates citizens of poorer countries. Secondly, a lots of SaaS make this model that aims to heavy users only. Users who can spend a lots of more money as a single person. So there are great services, but a lots of occasional users just cant use it (and pay).

Well, as soon as the encryption comes this product will be usable. Giving my personal data to a non open source note taking project without any encryption capabilities is a big no.
During this peaceful time the CORE made a breakthrough in which they found a way for the human consciousness to be transferred safely into a machine through a process they called patterning, which theoretically granted the humans immortality. The peace was broken when the CORE imposed a mandate on the humans to undergo the patterning process as a public health measure; when many of the humans refused the process, the CORE announced that any human who refused the process would be obliterated, and a rebel band known as the ARM was formed out of colonies throughout the galaxy, consisting of humans who refused to leave their natural bodies. The resulting conflict then escalated into a war that would last four thousand years
>A candidate needs perfect pitch.

Why? Traditionally, organs are tuned by listening to the beats[0] between pairs of notes. If you want to tune to specific frequency (such as the modern A=440Hz standard) you only need a single frequency reference, such as a tuning fork. But historically there have been an enormous variety of tunings used in pipe organs, many of which were built before A=440Hz became standard, and in any case, the tuning is affected by temperature, so it will drift as the seasons change.

I think that company is needlessly limiting their options by requiring perfect pitch. Good relative pitch perception is sufficient.

The functioning or non-functioning of the logistics system for the F-35 is largely irrelevant, as just demonstrated Lockheed is paid whether it works or not; and non-functioning is much safer for the program, as non-flying F-35s are safe from combat and accidents. In fact, low availability just provides an excuse for the Air Force to demand additional budget for aircraft. This isn't so much a combat system as a corporate welfare program.

In practice, the US has already demonstrated that its primary airpower projection is via unmanned systems, the manned combat aircraft is the mounted cavalry c. 1920.
yes, it's incredibly destabilizing if you worry in 2 minutes all your bases and defenses could be destroyed, leading to accidentally launches. In the cold war it almost happened by accident (launch or we'll lose our ability to respond!) multiple times. Short time to react just makes it much much worse!

Which OS comes without Python pre-installed? But I agree, the less is installed the better.
The big data maturity levels
It's a big graph, from graph theory. Think of a bunch of words connected to each other by lines ("edges") where the lines are some kind of causal link (e.g. both involved in processing sugars). It's basically organised like an XML file or JSON. The ontologies are actually quite small to download (46kb for the gene ontology). You can go look at one here [0]

The idea of the ontologies is to use the same words for the same things, and have a kind of summary for all the research into the things listed in the ontology. Having this all standardised allows for a lot of interoperability. Big problems with the ontologies is they are years out of date and have poor uptake in many parts of life science research. Which is shame because they are a fantastic fundamental tool, it's just that the life scientists are underfunded and already work ridiculous hours.

jmp memset

Classic plot twist.
Our neighbor is actually one of the better hosts because he still lives in the same house as his guests and talks to them in person. And he is trying hard to limit the bad effects from his guests, but with little success.

The dogs are only one of many problems. As another example, in some countries it is still customary to throw your trash onto the main road where it will be burned at night.

Most of the issues are due to guests that have a very different culture and do not speak German, French, or English. For newly rich Chinese, the host is understandably at a loss to explain our dos and donts.

We also tried picture signs for explaining the dogs issue and there's a government-paid waste bag dispenser nearby. But a large part comes down to laziness and ignorance from the guests. If you never have to pick up your dog poop at home, would you do it while on vacation? Would you still do it even if nobody is watching?

The peak of that attitude are UK tourists, notorious for their entitled "I am on vacation so I don't give a sh" approach. UK partying groups overdid it to the point where governments prohibit direct flights to keep them away. So how do you plan to re-educate them for a 3 day trip?

In my opinion, the only good option is keeping impersonal tourists out of the residential areas. If they stay with friends and family, they will behave. But if they stay anonymously, no way to make them behave.

I agree. Linux is struggling on the desktop and BSD shouldn't spend manpower unnecessarily for desktop when its primary strength is on the servers.

But it probably makes the developers feel better by dogfooding their own OS instead of using another one but we have enough virtualization that one can run server OS on top of their most productive desktop OS.
To try it out yourself, you need to build https://github.com/iximiuz/conman and https://github.com/iximiuz/shimmy from the source code (see the corresponding README files) and then execute a series of commands from the screencast.

The more in-your-face monkey-patching went out of favour many years ago. Most newer Ruby libraries make you explicitly "opt in" to changes by e.g. including a module and/or contain any monkey-patching in separate files that needs to be explicitly require'd if you want that behavior. It's rarely a problem in practice.
Platform Connecting Clients and Agencies?

Although a lot of demogroups are/were from Scandinavia, still the most active demoscene country is/was Germany where there's nothing out of ordinary regarding the weather. Poland, Netherlands, the UK, Hungary are prominent countries in the demoscene aspect as well. US had an extremely active cracking scene right from the beginning (C64 and later Amiga).
Most of the scene releases definitely weren't coming from far northern lands.
The comment above was not talking about what the laws are, but about fact. That the laws are what they are does not change facts. If SCOTUS rules tomorrow that the sun orbits the earth, that does not make it fact.

You're doing the exact same thing again of conflating an argument about fact with an argument about law.
So if I drink whole milk, and whole milk is 3.5% milkfat, then I guess I've been drinking myself out of 14 years of life?

This looks awesome! I've been wanting a personal knowledge store for a long time. Between bookmarks, random notes and lists that I throw away, cool quotes I find, and even thoughts that I ponder and get distracted from, I feel like there's so much interesting stuff I've found that remains inaccessible or was lost or is just laying around uncatalogued. It's just that all the usual data-cataloging systems seem so clunky or have a whole "system" that intrusively proscribes how to use it.

Roam looks like a pretty interesting solution to this problem. Simple but capable flat document system, especially the very nice tagging with automatic bidirectional linking to organize everything with. Pretty UI, maybe a little more customized than my tastes, but still nice to interact with.

My only reservation is the reason why I haven't tried any of the other big proprietary solutions: I really don't want to switch away once I'm on it, and I don't want to ever worry about losing access to it. I.e. I'll want to self host it. Don't get me wrong, I would still be quite willing to pay for such an app, but I also need it to be open-sourced and have a simple open data model.

To that end, it seems like this UI on top of Perkeep's API https://perkeep.org/doc/overview might be pretty nice combination.

This was very interesting for me to read. I am a heavy user of Notion and recently documented my own knowledge management practices [1].

I understand some of the Notion criticism, but I think you can get around most of it. Instead of relying on the tree structure, I organize pretty much everything in databases, which can have relations to each other. This way, you can have bidirectional linking and the user experience for creating these links is very good.

That is a trade-off, as the team typically needs a common vision that might not be easy to distribute (or even extract out of your mind).

I had a similar problem with Chrono [1], the most popular Rust date & time library at the moment (though now rivalled by time-rs [2] ;-), where I was struggling with personal issues and yet (thus?) unable to sufficiently materialize my vision. Eventually I gave up and passed a torch to other interested people, one of which is now the primary maintainer, but no major API design and stabilization that would lead to the 1.0 is not happening as far as I concern.

Sorry for the late reply. I think you're probably right about it being in a bubble, but I'm not sure we'll see it having a large crash that we typically associate with bubbles (some people would even say there is no bubble, if it does not pop).

VCs are backed by large amounts of capital because most government policy has been to stimulate growth and the only way they know how is by giving away large loans at insanely cheap (in many cases even negative in real terms) interest. This means that VCs can actually lose out on money by not taking those loans and investing it, and that in turn drives a lot of speculatory investment, as well as inflates asset and stock prices which the government then uses to show how good it is.

This is why you correctly spotted that step 4 is not a requirement for start ups anymore, because so long as you are big enough to be speculated on, you're good for funding. Whether that means it's broken really depends upon your definition of working, as a lot of people believe it's fine because all seems to be going great. This is the gambler's fallacy. It's all fine, until it isn't.
I'll grant you that there weren't much ethical considerations to speak of in the last world wars, and perhaps my naive view has been unrealistically colored by sci-fi TV shows, but my point is simple: a broken autonomous killing system won't know when to stop. Even unethical war makers have affinity to humankind and know when to stop. And despite the meaning implied by the MAD doctrine, it never meant that humans will nuke themselves to oblivion; it simply says a nash equilibrium will be achieved with both conflicting parties staying out of each other's way.

> Not in a court of law, where it matters.

Pretty much the entire thrust of what I wrote was about the legislative process, which makes what happens in a court irrelevant, as they are confined to interpret it.

> The US Constitution can be changed, yes, but it virtually impossible. This is particularly true of REMOVING rights in the Bill of Rights.

The US constitution has been changed on a regular basis. To me the number of substantial changes shows that it is not "virtually impossible", but of course you're free to have an interpretation of "virtually impossible" that is different from mine.
