If they’re reliably on the same network, then I’d probably use syncthing. Or, a NAS device and mount the volume across the LAN. Or rsync or syncthing to the NAS.

If you have to share files off the LAN, that gets more involved.

We currently use a mix of syncthing and NAS for our internal purposes, and iCloud for external syncing.
I've found that about half of the sites that render a blank page without JS are just setting style="visibility: hidden" on the <body> element. I cannot think of any good reason for browsers to continue to allow that CSS property to be set on that element. "Flash of unstyled content" is not a valid concern here.
I use foo, bar, baz, etc. all the time when I’m writing tests. But I agree generally it is better when examples use meaningful name `cd /path/to/file` as oppose to `cd /foo/bar/baz`
You're talking way out of your field, read Aaronson for a good accessible take on why all of what you're saying is wrong
> "Flash of unstyled content" is not a valid concern here.

Well, presumably it is to some people, or they wouldn't be setting it…
This article is painfully stupid. I don't mean wrong; it's actually intellectually insulting to the reader. "And we still don’t know where this is going." Spare us.

First of all, being able to build an entire company faster and cheaper than ever before by taking advantage of a massive ecosystem of SaaS tools isn't just worth millions, it's the only reason many companies can get off the ground.

Second, SaaS tools have displaced entire categories of information workers that you no longer need to have in your org chart. Remember DBAs? There's an entire generation of entrepreneurs that do not.

Third, do you know how much it costs to deploy SAP into a company and keep it running for five years? Roughly $10M. https://blog.cfbs-us.com/blog-1/how-much-is-erp That's a fuck of a lot of Twilio.

Fourth, and the reason this "journalism" is making me #ragequit, is that business types have been making literally billions of dollars on the backs of open source software for decades, and they pearl clutch when someone takes that free code, attaches customer service to it and tries to build a sustainable business.

The problem is not the supposedly rising costs of SaaS, it's the notion that hedge funds can use free software to legally steal without even pretending to contribute to the projects and infrastructures that make their operations possible.

If you ever encounter someone complaining that SaaS is cutting into their profit margins, please give them an earful for me.

Trying to emulate running JavaScript will quickly devolve into running it, but slowly and poorly.
I agree that they did the right thing for the domain of the TLI, as your comment captured.

And existing editing GUIs might very well be a local maxima — however we designers need to be careful in quickly condemning existing solutions that we don't understand by calling them "unfocused", "slow" or "ugly".

It is the responsibility of any designer to be more aware than the rest of tradeoffs like these — making it look good is merely a nice to have you can achieve as well. To decide that for a domain as complex as editing demands at least some degree of awareness of the common problems an editor needs to solve, as your software or UI will have to solve them as well.

Sometimes this comes with a learning curve, as your user will have to learn how to tell the computer what they want. They will have to learn some language that allows them to express this, if they don't want the computer to take the wheel and just assume what they want. And that very language is what makes it complex and hard to learn, and there is not much way around it. Might there be a different language that lets you express more things with better ease while beeing easier to learn? Sure. But will it still be harder to learn a language which allows you to express a lot, compared to a language which allows you to express only little? Yes - as well.

That beeing said: I they made all the right usability choices on their own thing there, my comment was more an aside stemming from my own values as a designer.
I've read enough Aaronson to know that he's just too smug of a person for my liking, honestly. It shines through in everything he writes, leaving a nasty sheen on things.
I would suggest something basic. Take a print out of monthly habit tracker from here: https://tealnotes.com/free-printable-bullet-journal-habit-tr... and add the goals/ habits you want to achieve. Put the goals in the order in which you want to do every day. Stick it on your wall such a way that it is very visible to you (this matters as this act a reminder for you). Every day check this list off.
I have tried a lot of things in the past, and found this approach the most effective.

Almost, but not quite. Zettlekastenicians (Zettlekasatengineers?) try to only put succinct thoughts into their systems that they can tend and grow into larger productions of thinking or learning--there are some more specialized amounts of explicit metadata (your thoughts, ideas, inspirations, questions) that cannot be crawled and indexed by machine which will only see the implicit metadata.

If you index everything together you get something that it is merely a pile of searchable things. You do not experience the "conversation" with the slip-box as Niklas Luhmann described it. Software like http://zettelkasten.danielluedecke.de/ that implements the "digital version" of the system suffers from what I like to describe as the "Hudsucker Proxy" problem: A young idealist visionary comes out and holds a big plastic loop and mutters "You know... for kids!" and nobody has a clue what that is supposed to mean. It isn't until someone shows how to use the "big plastic loop" before anyone understands what's happening. And that's really hard to do with something as abstract as a Zettlekasten despite it just "being little notes gathered together with lots of numbers and letters pointing at the other notes" or an "unordered database".

A few medicines of note here:
Ace inhibitors are a well known treatment that reduces blood pressure.

However, there are two different types of medicine undergoing clinical trials:
Lopinavir/Ritonavir (tradename KALETRA) - a HIV medicine has shown promise
and
chloroquine - a 60+ year old anti-malaria medicine

Personally, i ordered chloroquine - well known safety profile. I won't wait for docs to discuss prescribing it if i get any symptoms. I may even take it for preventative use. I also have sequenced my DNA (full genome), and checked if I have any mutations that are know to increase production of ACE2 - increasing susceptibility to acquiring covid-19:

I pay for the LA Times, and I also block ads. A couple weeks ago they updated the site so that I got a giant “you are blocking ads!!” banner even when I was logged in. I complained to them (directly), saying that I pay for a subscription so that I can give them money without viewing ads. And... they agreed that paying readers should not see those warnings! And they updated the site within the same day.

I thought that was cool.
Haha to be fair, I am no advocate for the JS revolution. I wish the web had kept things simple. Maybe I am a luddite after all.
It is a DNS server that makes every ad and tracking domain route to nothing. It speeds everything up and uses an almost undetectable amount of resources. It could be done in the router with different software I'm guessing, but I use tomato firmware which isn't great for huge DNS block lists.

Modern English usage does not pay much attention to the traditional ideas of being grammatically correct.

The trend today is to omit needless punctuation. In the case of "Hello, world!" vs. "Hello world!", there is no one who would be confused by either version. The comma does not change the meaning at all, so you can include it or omit it as you prefer.

But take a look at one example of modern usage. If your name is Mike (like mine), which would you be more likely to see at the beginning of an email:

Hi, Mike,

or:

Hi Mike,

Pretty sure it will be the latter. In fact I can't remember the last time I saw this salutation with a comma.

(Edit: after writing that, I noticed that my last sentence is an example of what I'm talking about. I think the "grammatically correct" version would be "In fact, I can't remember..." - but many writers today would leave out that unnecessary comma.)

Edit 2: Hello, downvoter! ;-)

Gosh, does anyone write like that any more? It seems so archaic.

See, the thing about the comma is that it isn't a question of being "grammatically correct" or not. The purpose of the comma in modern English is to show where you would pause when speaking.

Which way would you pronounce it? "Hello world" just like any other two words in a row? Or "Hello <pause> world"?

The way you pronounce it is what should inform you about whether you write the comma or not.

I think a lot of sleep problems are being resolved via CPAP devices.

I know one relative who I'm pretty certain died in her sleep because of unresolved sleep apnea.

When you stop breathing while sleeping, your body adjusts by taking you out of deep sleep towards wakefulness, while your blood pressure rises towards 300. When you finally take a breath -- if the high blood pressure didn't set off a heart attack or stroke -- your restful sleep is ruined.

Sleep anpea also causes other problems. when your throat closes and you try to breath, it's likely you will suck stomach acid out of your stomach into your throat and possibly lungs.

If you snore (not a requirement), wake up during the night with heartburn, or die of a heart attack or stroke in your sleep, you should investigate a cpap.

The classical use case is EDA software, which still largely runs on Linux. I can run simvision (a cadence tool) on a large server with ~96 cores and ~1TB of ram and the spawned windows integrate (almost) seamlessly with my multi monitor MacBook Pro setup. That Software only supports Solaris (recent releases dropped that I believe), specific versions of Red Hat Linux and Windows. Large simulations easily consume all server resources and require a SSD raid to function effectively. This also isn’t software you want to have to install or maintain yourself, plus it need access to proprietary information protected by NDA, which is not allowed to be copied to private hardware.

How to Take the Headache Out of CSS and HTML in Emails
Why not just have "a" return something containing "b"? In Python 3.8 for the brief syntax afforded by assignment expressions:

def foo(o):
if (b := o.a()) is not None:
b()

Because the original interface indicates that all "o"s must know about the link between "a" and "b", there's no loss of generality, but now there's a statically inferable structure: "o" must support an "a" that returns None or a callable.

If you do a tiny modification to "def foo(o, a): ..." then this doesn't apply any more, and you're outside the realm of structural types and into the realm of dependent types, which means you must drink deeply of the static typing kool-aid and want to write type signatures that run the risk of being more complex than the code they describe.

(But I like to quote Conor McBride: "if you're not going to write types your type system has to be stupid enough a computer can do it", from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U3lV5VPmOU&feature=youtu.be...).
"Temp laborers could probably use some software to help with tracking hours etc. Typically all the hours are tracked with just the supervisor writing down on a carbon copy how long they worked and gives it to the laborers to take back to their office which is then manually input to the billing system to pay the laborers at the end of the day."

You're exactly right on this one and it exists in Vancouver, Canada: https://faberconnect.com/

"Keep in mind there's a much larger population of non-smartphone users that only use flipphones in construction especially day labor so any sort of app meant for the workers or laborers to use would just go unused."

Right on the first point, wrong on the second. The app is used by a different crowd - mostly younger, and many newcomer professionals or working holiday visa holders. This crowd doesn't need the daily pay to buy a 12-pack after work, and a cash advance in the morning to get smokes and a bus ticket.

I've used both types of service regularly over the last couple of years to fill in the gaps while I work on my startup.
To me, it much more closely resembles a key-value retrieval system. I wonder if we could learn anything about that by training an artificial neural net to perform key-value storage?
That study I put a link to is attempting to answer that very question methodically, and the answer in this study and others is it’s both correlation and causation. Some of the “income premium” you get for having a bachelor’s degree is cultural bias toward education (causation), some of it is having more and broader skills (causation), some of it is the many jobs that require degrees or pay higher with more education (causation), and some portion of it is due to things like whether your parents got degrees or have money (correlation).

But, I’m curious, what does it actually matter in this context, if any non-zero portion of it is causation? This thread is discussing whether people are better off getting some education, whether they should spend their UBI income in search of opportunity via education, and whether going to school is a “work disincentive”. (Seem like the opposite to me.) They’re attempting to improve their lot via schooling, and there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that more education will, statistically, improve their lot at least somewhat.

Dunno. Half my ancestry is from Guangdong, China, a tropical climate. I grew up in Massachusetts, and I do fine with cold.
My wife is Taiwanese (also tropical) and grew up in California and hates the cold.

Then again, the other half of my ancestry is from Ireland & England. Am I fine with cold because it's more about where you grew up and became accustomed to, or because I got my mom's genes? It's a good question, but the rest of my dad's family (currently living in Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal) seems to do okay.

If you were in the thick of a pandemic and had to go out: indirect vent ski goggles + anti-fog compound, a tight-fitting N95 NIOSH mask that has enough surface area to not get too humid, soap-&-water hand washing, 70% hand sanitizer, and surface sanitization seems good enough for nearly every pathogen.

Even before this, there's a coffee shop I goto sometimes where they never clean anything but they always have a giant container of hand sanitizer; the trick is about 8 pumps of that on a bunch of napkins and wipe down the table, seats and seat backs. (I'm OCD.)
