After experimenting with dozens of different products in order to become 'more productive' I've ended up doing something similar, but I use Apple Notes instead. At one stage I was experimenting with Trello, Todist, GTD, Zettelkasten, Wikis, Notion, Emails, Calendars, Workflowy...You name it, I've tried it, and combinations of it with other products.

Then one day I started using Apple Notes to start a journalling practice and then I realised I could use it for just about every other thing that I was using all these pieces of software for. I now use it and a calendar exclusively and it handles my todo lists, my random thoughts, my personal relationship management, my checklists, pretty much all the things that are actually important to me. The reason I prefer this over a single text document is simply because I can categories my files into folders. That's it. Same thing could be achieved with text files and folders but I like having this synch on all my devices.

Plain old text is amazing in its simplicity and power.

Someone once left a comment on a Zettlekasten thread and it's something I've always thought about now whenever I get the itch to complicate my system. [1]

"I had the realization yesterday while waiting for a train that the Notes app on iOS contains all the functionality I'd need in order to be able to build a small organization/business .. as long as I standardized my form of note-taking and rigorously applied policies on how Notes are transformed from one Folder to the other"

And I find this applies in my personal note taking life as well.

So what’s the alternative? Beef? Chicken? Pork? Vegetarian?

Every one of these has significant downsides to them (for you vegetarians out there, the phosphorous that leeches into the runoff is huge, affecting the ecosystem in ways we still don’t understand).

I get every point you make, but honestly, what is the real alternative?
Tldr: VMware charged before per cpu. Now a cpu license only includes 32 cores so you may have to buy multiple licenses. This will get really expensive very fast with AMDs permanent increasing core counts.
Some new software that matches what "Ruby on Rails" used to be would be welcome.

There are too many un-opinionated choices today, so people waste too much time on choices for the various pieces. The whole ecosystem is very fragmented.

A relatively sane, top-to-bottom framework that isn't the fastest, or "best", but "good enough"...would be welcome. Maybe Golang or Rust or Node will progress to having their own "Rails"?
I think it is important for embedded, but sure, not for mobile and desktop. App start time being instant is much more important.
> "Property" has a standard sense, as in a legal sense...

That makes it clearer where you are coming from. Then the answer is that it depends a lot on the jurisdiction, on who the parties are, and other things. There does not appear to be settled law either way. However...

> No argument from me that governments do abuse eminent domain and civil forfeiture... that doesn't mean they are never good ideas. This is one of those cases that they are.

Eminent domain and civil forfeiture both assume that the things being seized are property. If domain names are just service contracts, you're talking about things like injunctions to prevent performance of the contract, which are different beasts legally.

I agree. I'd even say that burying plastic is a form of carbon sequestering and therefore has some positive impact. However, I think the problem with burying plastic is the stuff that leaches out.

I didn't mean to suggest a landlord might do it on purpose. Everyone can go in with the best of intentions and still find themselves on one side of this scenario.
That is neither a threat nor proves that he knows anything about the buyer being a criminal. He's only worried about that possibility, which is a good thing considering he has been a good steward of the domain this whole time.

You are once against picking a specific time as to when exactly collapse happens.

I would argue the opposite to you, actually, and instead say that the whole world is entangled, and the wave never collapses.

We can't even prove that collapse happens in the first place.

So, assuming that things never collapsed is actually the situation with the least amount of unproven assumptions, and it literally is not assuming that the collapse ever happens.

That's much better than saying that the wave function collapses at exactly the atomic level or something.

All of these points in time are arbitrary.

> retroactive stuff

There is nothing retroactive about any of this. Before collapse, it exists in a state of it not happening and happening at the same time. That's not retroactive.
You setup port forwarding in your router to allow that.
That’s neither a call for cheek-whipping nor taxation.
How do you download the notebook? I don't see the download link. Or are we supposed to copy and paste it cell by cell?
Hitting the Books: The Y2K bug could come back sooner than you think
Mathematica's notebook definitely strongly inspired Colab's notebook. Colab is an implementation of the Jupyter notebook format and UI. Jupyter, which launched around 2011, itself was strongly inspired by (1) the IPython console from around 2003, and (2) the Sage Notebook which I launched around 2006.

I can tell you definitively that Sage Notebook is very Mathematica inspired. The IPython console looked a lot like Mathematica, mainly because Fernando Perez (who was a physicist) had used Mathematica a lot and wanted something similar but (much) better. In 2005 there was a project to make an IPython notebook interface as an OS X graphical application, which got demoed at Sage Day 1 (in Feb 2006). That motivated me to get interested in doing something similar, but using Javascript and HTML instead. I hired Alex Clemesha, who just finished his physics undergrad and was a heavy Mathematica user to work on Sage fulltime. He did a lot of work with me during 2006 to create a web-based notebook interface (and also to provide a mathematica-like graphics compatibility layer for Python, which is in Sage). The Sage notebook felt pretty similar in 2007 to what Jupyter notebook feels like, and it definitely inspired the UI. We developed Sage notebook heavily and then all sort of lost interest and moved on to other things (e.g., Jason Grout, who was involved a lot with the Sage notebook went to work at Bloomberg, where he did a massive amount of work on JupyterLab). Fortunately, Fernando Perez and others got incredible grant support and many fantastic engineers together built the Jupyter notebook. Jupyter notebook provided the same sort of cell/output UI as we had with the Sage notebook, but was much more general purpose (many kernels) and used more "modern" implementation techniques, by 2011 standards at least.

There's a lot of amazing things about the Mathematica notebook that we never even tried to implement. For example, Mathematica has a much more sophisticated nested structure. Also, by default Mathematica shares one kernel across multiple notebooks (or at least it did last time I tried it).

Just to finish the story, in 2013 I started CoCalc to make a fully realtime collaborative notebook interface. Around the same time, many other people started another project called JupyterLab that reimplemented a Jupyter notebook client using much more powerful modern approaches. In addition, there's a lot more going on regarding notebook clients these days, including Nteract, Kaggle kernels, and http://deepnote.com/. Some people like me who work on these surely played around a lot with Mathematica notebooks when they were kids :-).
I haven't looked closely at windows for about fifteen years, but back then the antivirus was horrible. I/o and general performance was hideously slow as everything had to be inspected against virus signatures and heuristic analysis. Is that still The same now or you whitelist the AV for games?
I won the lottery on a similar issue. I was looking at monitors on Amazon using a business account, which sometimes offers volume discounts. Instead of a $10 discount, someone had set the unit price to $10 if you bought more than one, for a $1100 monitor. I bought five. I expected the order to be cancelled, but a week later five monitors showed up.
Nix is the closest I've come to this dream.

I like docker, but it's too resource heavy on a Mac. I need it running directly and not in a VM.

So a simple nix file, and nix-shell shebangs[1] has been life changing. Throw in --pure and now you really know the environment works everywhere.

My repos all have a shell.nix with every dependency. Just call nix-shell and it works in Linux and OSX. Anywhere.

You can even bundle it into a docker image and use nix in there too. For production, etc.

Documentation and tutorials are lacking, but if you put in some time, I've found nothing comparable.

Version it in, pin the Nix channel[2], and you can come back a year later in a brand new machine and start where you left off.

[1] https://gist.github.com/travisbhartwell/f972aab227306edfcfea

[2] Highly counterintuitive: if you don't pin a Nix channel, it's a moving target and dependencies may go missing, be updated, etc.
Yes, it's similar, but both hail from 2003. I would imagine some new clean sheet, not history encumbered, top-to-bottom framework would have value.
Thank you for providing this service. I started using Linux on my gaming machine about a year ago and ProtonDB has been very helpful.

My father has also had this issue, on his first order too. It's interesting since the application is used in various countries around the world too, it's just re-branded and given it's own unique app.

I wonder if it's just as garbage everywhere else
That wasn't a glitch in negotiating. The system knew that the purchase was cancelled but sent the items anyway. It makes perfect sense that the system can legally ask to get those items back.
And, of course, a great many internal computers will _never_ get an update from Microsoft. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/d... Windows 7 still has a quarter of the market...
Sometimes they're just concern trolls though.
It reminds me of a line in "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner":

https://www.litscape.com/author/Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge/The_...
In France there is, AFAIK, a law that says that if you buy something when there was a system error setting the price, the company can legally ask you to give the item back.

Usually they don't because of the PR problem it could cause but a system mistake does not mean that the item is suddenly free for grabs.

I do understand people taking advantage of it though, it's a bit like winning a tiny lottery.
These are the tasks of an Engineering Manager, not a Tech Lead.
You have something called opportunity costs.

Equity is the most expensive financing - especially for startups.

The opportunity costs for funding a “high risk of failure startup” that even just has your money sitting on a bank account is fairly high. When S&P500 markets return 20% p.a. - I’d wanna see 100+% return p.a. on my risky startup (it is of course less of a normal distribution kind of thing, more a “lose many and maybe win one”).

So actually due to inflation and the opportunity costs associated with the risks you have - stuff may or may not depreciate unknowingly.

Watches are only gonna be worth what a seller gives you when the need of selling it arises. Correlation breakdown between asset classes etc etc has made many people not so happy about the decisions they made with more exotic investments and the believe that “not everything depreciates”.

A more fundamental and underlying problem may be: we print too much money and inflation is probably hitting insane levels but “hidden well beneath the improvements in society’s productivity”.

In a Knightean’s risk sense, we may actually be constantly facing “uncertainty” but believe we are dealing with a more predictable concept of “risk” in our lives. Taleb has written a few good books on it.
Makes me wonder if there is any roll-over with the additional cores. If you have a dual processor machine, with 34 cores in each processor, you would have to get 4 licenses, 2 of which only cover a combined 4 cores. It seems less than ideal.
Zero-Cost Abstractions in Rust
I wonder too if in this batched model if there's some opportunity to further leverage the 'race to idle' solution you see in mobile devices. If I have 16 cores and half of them are frequently spun down, the thermal budget for the others is improved.
Please don't take HN threads further into generic religious flamewar. I realize the topic lends itself to that, but that's an additional reason not to step there.

I'd miss the engineering machine shop. Those facilities only get developed by accident, for instance if a company gets rid of its professional machinist but keeps the equipment, or something like that. The machines and collections of tooling take a long time to curate. Any modern manager would refuse to allow that much stuff to be purchased if they were asked, and believe in the magic of outsourcing everything.
Imagine a world without search engines and omni bars. This newfangled world wide web thing comes along and looks like it might become popular, but it's totally new to most people, who happen to be 99% of your customers. If they type `cnn` in the bar, chances are they want to go to cnn.com, so you make it so and don't lose most of your market share.

Besides as far as painfully, frustratingly obvious security implications are concerned you have done much worse before for less end-user benefit like making your main word processing application the world's premier networked virus delivery platform.
How are the unit economics of using Apple Search ads for you? I've run some paid ads with projects but am wondering how you're approaching it in terms of ROI. I also have found that Apple Search Ads are better for apps because they also boost search rank in the App Store.
Yeah but I found we all have the same problems with Windows these days.

I watched a friend struggle to get slack to use the correct camera work on his windows 10 laptop. Another occasion, on a desktop machine problems with microphones.

A few months ago I woke up and my Windows 10 desktop just decided to lock up about 10 seconds after showing the desktop. There was nothing I could do to fix it and had to reinstall windows.
Most vegetables are grown for lifestock food, so I don't think that's valid concern about vegetarianism.

If you eat a lot of meat, then you have all the vegetarian concerns you can come up with plus all the concerns directly tied to meat plus the rest of the indirect concerns.

thanks! but i think its worth noting somewhere on your site what exactly the optional purchase is; without that info it seems a bit sketchy to read the app is free but see a message from google that "something" in the app could cost $7.99 -- that stopped me from downloading it.
No idea where this fits on the priority list, but I think a lot of problems around stream processing still aren't solved, and it's holding us back from a really productive programming paradigm. Handling updates/retractions elegantly is hard or impossible on many platforms, handling late (sometimes _extremely_ late) data can be very inefficient. Working with complex dependencies between events (beyond just time-based windows), in realtime, can be really tough. As the saying goes, cache invalidation is one of the hardest problems in software engineering. Having a simple platform to represent processing as a DAG, but fully supporting both short and long term changes transparently would make event sourcing architectures trivial and extremely productive. The closest we've come seems to be:

Am I wrong, or does one update from Microsoft make this whole drama go away and the "problem" a moot point?
In the early to mid '90s I was involved in three user groups in the K.C. metro area: the Kansas City UNIX User's Group, MacCORE, and the local LUG (which, according to kclug.org, is still active). MacCORE was the largest and most organized, with dozens of people at each meeting, guest speakers, and promotional items from Apple and other companies in the Mac ecosystem. The KCUUG and KCLUG meetings were more bare-bones and less formal.

I enjoyed the social aspects of each group, but they also had a huge impact on my career. This is particularly true for the KCUUG where I served for a short time as president. One of the attendees saw me speak at a meeting (on managing an NNTP server IIRC) and asked me to do some consulting at a local ISP. They ended up hiring me, but couldn't afford a Sniffer, which led me to start writing a protocol analyzer for Solaris and Linux. That analyzer (Wireshark) now has its own active online community. We don't have any official user groups, but we do have conferences in the U.S. and Europe each year.
Yes, exactly.

The view that such work just constitutes writing "glue" is super reductive. So much time is also spent empathizing with others: talking to stakeholders, understanding existing processes, determining requirements, and simplifying. So if we can reduce the solution to glue instead of needing to write a complicated system, that's hands down a win.

Have had this same scenario play out several times myself on CL. The other most common scammy post is a roommate.com one where when you get in touch with the poster, they have you go to a roommate.com link which basically requires you to sign up for a ~20$/mo membership. I get the need for such sites but I've seen this so often I consider it a scam and wonder if, like hired shills and trolls, people get hired to post such content just to drive membership.
Consider this hypothetical: You buy a house, and its address somehow gets listed as an internal corporate postal address at BigCorp. You regularly get bag-fulls of corporate mail containing personal information. BigCorp refuses to changes their internal directories, and refuses to buy your home at a reasonable value.

The only real difference in the corp.com case is that instead of just one BigCorp, it's one BigCorp that's gotten a bunch of other SmallCorps and BigCorps to all incorrectly list the same address too.

On the same general note, "a business listed my phone number as theirs and refuses to change it" stories are pretty common, and often have the same "the business refuses to change it" quality.
It’s true that I find the data to be compelling that our species is, when you consider the entire known history of homo sapiens eating habits, omnivores. That makes sense to me: eating what was generally available is pragmatic, and our bodies have opportunistically evolved to leverage proteins, fats, and amino acids available in animals, as well as nutrients from plants.

And that’s how I live: eat and respect animals that led natural lives, eat whole veg void of pesticides, drink mineral water. Fast by default (never snack) and don’t drink your calories. Think intermittent eating instead of intermittent fasting.

All this being said: I have lots of carnivore and vegan friends. Even if I do find those diets to be dogmatic and unnecessarily politicized, I say ‘you do you’ and embrace them all the same. Variety of viewpoints is what it is to be human.

Our bodies are incredibly adaptive, I’ve seen peeps geek out on veganism successfully and it’s quite impressive. Seen people go years on carnivorism with seemingly no problems.
Blindly blocking IP addresses seems like a bad idea; how many are DHCP'ed residential addresses with a short lease?
You're saying a domain ownership should be revoked based on a third party having bad defaults and the owner talking up the value of the domain?

So, a couple of random people are trying standard passwords. That should be a complete non-issue, if your system is correctly configured.
Now you want to stop the users and your response is to block "their" IP completely. Which turned the non-issue into self-made denial of service "attack". As those ips are not bound to users and "they" will potentially come from the whole ip space script-kiddies can come from.

You should follow Surma. He's doing interesting work in this area (moving stuff off the main thread). https://twitter.com/DasSurma
A domain is a registry entry in a database, a contractual right, not property. Sure, some people have treated it as property with IP mechanizations, but it is not an asset in the sense of a house or other tangible. If a decision is made you can't trade in them, or makes it difficult (ARIN with IP block space comes to mind), you're outta luck.
