This is so cool!

I, too, have a repo consisting of all my notes in .md format, and I've been wondering how to make it more searchable/accessible (than having it all kept in my editor).

Publishing it might be the answer.

I've been defending Robinhood since the beginning but this is just too much. I will start looking at new brokers this afternoon.

At this point for me its not so much about the lost opportunity as it is about what the hell actually exploded so hard that they need to be down for 2 consecutive days. From my perspective, it's looking less and less like some one-off technical or hardware screwup and more like a fundamental limitation of their core architecture.

There is no real proof that elevated blood glucose increases cancer progression. The Warburg effect (cancer cell aerobic glycolysis) has been extensively studied and reducing blood glucose levels isn't an effective cancer treatment. Don't believe the hype.

Reducing blood glucose and A1c levels may be a good idea for other reasons, but it won't cure cancer.

I agree, that's why I mentioned principle of least action. But you also forget the power of idioms. We would connect to a file with a file handle using something like open("file"), and then have to close it with close(handle). This got tedious (and dangerous because people would forget to close files), so people would write macros that would automatically open and close file handles, and soon languages would have the "with" idiom that would handle the context for you. And this is not the only case of an idiom causing a paradigm shift in languages.

Pejoration happens too. When is the last time you used a GOTO in code? And yet, 40 years ago, you couldn't write a BASIC program without one. And the revulsion against NULL causing a shift to Maybes and optional types to the point where the concept is reified in many languages now?

All I'm saying is that there are multiple mechanisms that are changing the languages we write code with, and that it is changing far faster than people realize.

Yet, we also don't dehumanize people who are on life support in hospitals.

In context of the debate around start of life and abortion in the US, at least, both baby and fetus are heavily loaded terms whose meanings are divorced from actual science.

Edit: for example, CNN recently retracted certain wording on an anti-infanticide bill for babies born during botched abortions. I believe the wording was something along the lines of "fetus that was born".
That is why I said ‘knowingly’
Yes, I know, but I do also occasionally share code snippets out of it. If someone in a chatroom is asking how to do X, I'll just link to a source block in my repo. It's lazier than copy-pasting the code, but I also think it's good to let people see the broader context, maybe explore on their own a little.

I wouldn't mind if other people started using the code, but I've been burnt too many times during attempts to push my OSS projects over the years that I just don't want to put any actual effort into attracting people anymore.
Upgrading Home Assistant hardware in 2020
My experience on notes:

* You have to try things and discover what is actually effective. Systems used by other people won't always work for you.

* People that look good at note-taking are often very deficient. I have worked with many people and noticed that many have elaborate note-taking systems. I often wonder why many of these people are so ineffective. If their ability to take notes had been removed from them, perhaps they'd have developed other skills/abilities which would have helped them.

* How I take notes depends on the context. I don't have a single way. Sometimes it's a list of things, but at other times I'm writing words and drawing connections between them.

* Writing notes and then rewriting them in a condensed format, perhaps with detail from later research helps me learn the material. Writing on paper and "typing them up" seems to be the best approach.

* I very rarely return to notes later. Actions should not be buried in the notes. They should go immediately from notes to email, a ticket in the bug tracker, etc.

I think you may have some other issues with discerning what is important. You need to know this before you can only note the important things. The two methods I had in the UK which were universally available (read: most minimal, but a starting point if you don't have anything else) were comparing the lectures to: the syllabus and past exam papers. As you go along, ask how the information connects with what they state they are going to teach and what they test on. This did not help with everything you could get out of the courses, but it tended to give me a start.

> I assume that by default certbot only checks the expiration date of local certificates against the system clock, it doesn't ping any external resources so it can't be aware that the certificate might have been revoked even though it hasn't expired.

I think the actual issue here is that the certificates have not been revoked yet. We know that they will be revoked, which is why we have to run with --force-renewal, but there is no process for certbot to know that a certificate, although not revoked, will soon become revoked. I would expect certbot to automatically renew the next time its ran post-revocation.

Blanket statement like that without reason would equal please switch to self hosting git instead of using github.com cause it went down last week or so - both have their purpose / skill level / cost associated with them. So a 3rd party app went down for a bit. Happens often (as most of us know)
For what it's worth, you can install a Chrome extension into a Chrome profile that is different from your regular one to isolate it from your data.

I didn't like Steve Jobs either. He was a massive dick, but he did usher in the smartphone revolution, and brought U/X to the mainstream.
Open Source Survey Results [pdf]
It's best to follow the SP500 rather than the Dow. The former is much more representative of the whole market. And it's best to follow market movement in percentage rather than points. Points inflate over time as the nominal value of the market indexes climb.
It can go negative, or Fed can do another round of QE, there are plenty of tools. The real question is whether the deficit can grow indefinitely without consequences, and if this is a moral hazard (e.g. no risk priced in borrowing).

Let’s not ignore the even greater influence: Clinton was a terrible candidate and people like Trump. The article reads as if the outcome of 2016 was primarily because the public was duped by advertising. I’d argue that even if (or especially if) all we got was video clips or live streams of each candidate speaking, it would have gone the same way.

In fact if I put my tinfoil hat on I’d say Hillary Clinton ran to make sure Trump would win ;)

On the other hand, be aware that you can shape the ambitions and the habits of a young child. Letting them figure out what they want without any guidance is negligence.
We could always just end the practice of paying interest on excess reserves which the Fed started when they thought banks were collapsing but there wasn't any economic downturn back in 2008, so they needed to get the banks not to lend out the money they were pumping into them somehow. The Fed's inflation models have been predicting higher inflation than we've seen ever since. Currently the interest on required reserves (IORR) and interested on excess reserves (IOER) are both 1.6%, well above the Fed lending rate of 1.25%.
I built a static jekyll site using wordpress as a backend for the content editors (jekyll build reads directly from the database) hosted on a handful of AWS VMs running NGINX and loadbalanced by HAProxy. The build system is automated in CircleCI. WordPress is hosted privately on a hosted WordPress provider.

There's an ELK stack + plugins for logs and alerting and saltstack to trigger some basic automated sysadmin tasks.

I left 3 years ago and the entire infrastructure has run on autopilot with zero downtime. Content editors and web developers still add to the content constantly. There is some dynamic content on the site handled by JavaScript and a few light APIs that I built to support the site. There's over 5000 pages of content. This simple infrastructure powers a website with a low-5 digit alexa rank for a business bringing in about a billion dollars a year.

The entire infrastructure bill comes in under $100/mo and they no longer need to employ any backend engineers. We negotiated a contract agreement for me to support the site if they need it. They haven't.

From what I gather after spending more time than I'm willing to admit listening to every finance talking head out there, the consensus on the street seems to be that this will result in a temporary market recovery followed by the continued deterioration of stock prices given that fiscal or monetary* policy can't really affect the real economy in the near term* i.e. if the supply chain is indeed impacted due to COVID-19, no amount of fiscal or monetary* stimulus can make up for the time / productivity losses in the near term*

On the margin, I'm still slightly bearish on the whole situation due to the combination of the virus' absurdly high infection rate[0] and its long incubation period (I'll let each one of you be the judge of how long that is...)

The further you get away from the baby stage, the more you romanticize it. I REMEMBER my daughter being the most amazing thing in the world from the very first day. I KNOW that wasn't the case and made a mental note of the fact that I, like you, wasn't bonded until ~6 months. Before that she was obviously my daughter but I didn't have that "I'd do anything for this child" feeling until much later.

If you asked me today how I FEEL, I'd say it was that way from day one. But I know for a fact that wasn't the case originally.

The Coronavirus is going to harm the economy no matter what. But if the Fed acts correctly it can prevent compounding effects like an increase in unemployment that leads to a further decrease in production.

By way of alternative, I'd suggest not consuming news at all. Or at least, delaying your consumption of news to sources that have had a chance to digest and consider the news, such as a weekly news magazine.

It's very, very rare that you require up-to-the-minute news. Continually-updated news sources, like Internet sources or 24 hour news channels, are more for entertainment than information. They focus on keeping your attention, which pushes them to pick up unverified stories and magnify their importance out of proportion.

You will lose very little actual knowledge by hearing about the news a week later. Switching to a delayed news source doesn't automatically remove political spin, but the people most interested in manipulating your views have mostly switched to more immediate media, which are more powerful.

If you have Must Staple but don't have monitoring in place to detect that your OCSP responses are growing stale before they expire (or worse, you use Apache HTTPD which will happily replace a GOOD OCSP response with a newer BAD one) then you'd still be screwed here when Let's Encrypt revokes certificates.

You need at least effective monitoring and a good OCSP stapling implementation (IIS is supposedly pretty good at this) or else stapling is sadly going to make life worse for you not better.
> We're basically running out of tools to combat an actual financial crisis

Not really. This was extensively explored following the Great Depression, in part by Ben Bernanke, which is how we got QE. In summary, the Fed can buy more than just short-dated government bonds.

Moreover, "liquidity trap" doesn't refer to the central bank running out of tools per se. It refers to investors calling a central bank's bluff.

A classic example is a stagflation-facing central bank cutting rates. The cut spurs inflation. Investors figure that will force the central bank's hand into a rate hike shortly. As a result, they hold.

The cut thus fails to have an impact because the bank is perceived to be constrained. That doesn't apply here.
