I keep temporary notes in Notepad++ and then migrate them to Zim Wiki for search/tagging/hierarchical categorizing, etc. . Works very nicely, but media must be stored on disk and linked to. It doesn't embed natively.
Some institutions definitely have this problem much worse than others in the US, and in certain subjects; while my CS courses were generally taught by professors, the CS labs were definitely run by grad students, grad students did all the grading, etc. For niche elective courses that I took to complete my humanities requirements, those were definitely more likely to be taught by a grad student. But YMMV; talking to peers from secondary school, it seemed like certain institutions (Harvard, Berkeley) were more likely to have this problem. Can't really verify that hearsay though.

On the topic of large class sizes, there is definitely room for improvement in the US system; being at a poorly-funded mid-tier public university, we had several courses that were so large that there were overflow rooms with a camera pointing to the main lecturer in the main room, and these were lecture halls that could easily hold 400.
Most likely. But I don't have a phone with that service, so this is what I've got. ;)

Show HN: Epidemiological Indicators for Covid-19
It really depends on what you're building. A content-heavy app, search/query type apps, or a basic CRM type app with CRUD workflows can easily be done largely with server side rendering plus Intercooler for the interactive bits you need. Check out some of their examples (http://intercoolerjs.org/examples/index.html) and see if it meets the types of interactions you need.

If you want to go more SPA-like (and you really need that) you may want to look at Mithril (https://mithril.js.org/index.html#introduction). This is a light way to go SPA vice React (awesome but steep learning curve; all kinds of tooling needed).

We've built things like this: Most pages are server rendered using whatever you like (We use Go with Echo framework) the same server also hosts JSON APIs that allow the interactive Intercooler or AlpineJS arts to get either HTML fragments or JSON data. You can grab JSON with Intercooler too (http://intercoolerjs.org/attributes/ic-transform-response.ht...).

We've done search, DB apps (CRUD workflow), content sites, etc. exactly this way with a focus on developer productivity (very few libs to learn), user experience (ultra fast and SPA-like where needed), and performance (no giant JS balls to download, parse and activate).

EDIT: Just found this amazing example using MithrilJS to do very high speed updates of a bunch of data elements on a table page: https://raw.githack.com/MithrilJS/mithril.js/master/examples...

Hope this helps you.

I suppose testing would be easier for a cure (compared to a vaccine)? Given that only the "adapter" needs to be specialized, I was wondering why there don't seem to be any approaches based on antibody mass-production....

fwiw most of the the Google rows look to be consultants, contractors or vendors. Amazon had fewer with details but tentatively had full-timers.

Of course not, but demography and expectations over here are skewed to the left side of the life trajectory. Cheers and take care.
For HTTP(S) stuff, HTTP authentication (basic or digest auth). However, better would be to use SASL (which is usable with many protocols, although I think HTTP(S) unfortunately doesn't), and then from that to have some sort of SASL method which allows decentralized authentication like OpenID but does not require a web browser.

The most sobering of this was as I aged, and really began to see the ageism in interviews, hiring, selection for "regular roles" (meaning not a role where you would be a particularly specialized SME) - the ageism is really bad.

Especially in OPs/DevOps types of environments; I know that I have talked myself out of a job telling them that I had one position where i didnt have a day off in 18 months due to running an ops team and being literally on call 24/7 for 18 months.... I said that I was not interested in doing or being that any longer.

Hi there, maker of PageDash here, https://www.pagedash.com/

PageDash works like Evernote Web Clipper but it basically archives the entire page as HTML and associated resources (without distortions, ahem). We have search and tagging support as a premium feature. 30MB free monthly uploads!

‘Muslims Are Foreigners’: Inside India’s Campaign to Decide Who Is a Citizen
You mean in platforms like F-droid, or in random apks downloaded from random websites?
I'm building a personal content app[1] which has a primary goal of providing lots of flexibility in how you take notes / store your content, but then when you need (or want) to, allows you to very easily share that content with others. The major difference of the platform is that you take notes in the form of "cards" rather than documents, which makes everything a bit more portable and easy to share / structure.

Flexibility is provided by having three different ways to structure your notes:

- graph hierarchy: cards nest inside of each other instead of using any kind of "folder" system, and children can have multiple parents.

- hyperlinked graph (notes are markdown, and you can easily make links to other notes in the body of your notes)

- flat structure using tags

Of course, you can mix-and-match those systems as much as you want.

And then sharing (which is still quite nascent at the moment, but kinda works) is somewhat complex given the level of control we wanted to give users over how they share, but the gist is – you can share any card with anyone, or "publish" a card under a parent that you share with someone else, and they will automatically be given access to that card.

I'd really love to hear any feedback people from the HN community have. I realize that many in the HN community are very privacy focused and so would never use a proprietary / online system for their notes, but I think we provide enough value to make it worth it for even some hardcore privacy lovers.

Linear interpolation gets you 9X% of the way there for cheap, though. You can then come up with strategies for attacking the last 10% at somewhat higher cost instead of committing the entire stack to the high-cost strategy.

For example, if you ascertain that a bus is more than 2 minutes late, switch to polling that bus more often until it makes it to its next stop. And then switch back to linear interpolation once it gets to that stop. But you'll pay a little bit more for the added accuracy.

Morale of the story: if you want to get high-resolution real-time data, you (and your customers) have to pay for it, as that shit ain't easy.

It's not a good time at all. Even if you put the cost and reliability problems aside for a moment, the entire planet's supply chains are massively disrupted and largely shut down. Plus, even if you could get the equipment manufactured, installing it is a health hazard right now - it means lots of people from all over the place in close quarters on sites with poor access to sanitation facilities. This will set back green energy a year at the very minimum.

I built https://histre.com/ for this.

It's an "Effortless Knowledge Base".

The idea is that we throw away a lot of the signal we generate while doing things online and this can be put to good use for ourselves.

Histre aims to help with the whole "knowledge funnel", if you will. It aids the casual online research we all do (ie the explore -> filter -> decide loop). For example, it removes friction in taking notes on links you're looking at, with free-form tags that you don't have to create first and other such niceties that add up. And it easy to group notes into notebooks and share with teams. In short, when you have to look at a bunch of links for something (decide on your next vacation -- after this virus is behind us of course, people to hire, material for your next blog post, etc) Histre makes your life easier. But this is just the starting point for what Histre intends to do.

IMHO the biggest problem with apps like Evernote, Notion, Pocket etc is that it becomes digital hoarding, and not a knowledge base. And the knowledge base focused apps out there involve a lot of manual upkeep, which almost never happens, especially at work. Things start out okay and quickly fall into disrepair. I'm differentiating from the other note taking apps by automatically putting together a knowledge base (grouped by topic etc).

There is Hacker News integration that you may want to try. It lets you import and optionally share the stories you upvote.

The internet also doesn't force your app into a singular marketplace
Agreed that it's an excellent article. I'd also agree that it's normal to prefer things about the old country, or the previous job, or the previous anything, and there's nothing wrong with saying so.

But, I also think it's normal that sometimes things work the way they do because it's part of the local culture and the natives actually like it that way. Other times, of course, the bad aspect is just dumb, yet also very hard to fix (American healthcare).

In the last couple of decades in America, some "thought leaders" have made a serious effort to convince us that "it's like that because we live here and like it that way" is not a valid reason, at least when that reasoning gets in the way of the country being more of a commercial clearing house. In other words, a political trend to convince Americans that if you don't have an economic argument, you don't have an argument. This frustrates many people, and I guess sometimes makes them say reductivist stuff like "if it's so bad, why are you still here?"

Salt is insoluble in oil.
Oil is very useful, and that is precisely why we shouldn't waste it on things that don't need oil, e.g., power generation, vehicle fuel etc.

Engineers like code and dislike fuzzy things with hidden edge cases. When Slack tried to switch from markdown to a UI engineers complained loudly. There's no reason to believe it'd have been any different had one of the fifty other formats that existed won out.

From a practical point of view, markdown you can diff, you can copy it around without edge cases, etc. There's a reason people use Latex rather than Word which is evident the first time you have to spend 30 minutes fighting Word's formatting edge cases.
When it comes to UK tech, what's always happened is projects get farmed out to mega-outsourcing firms, like TCS and Capita, who then deliver a bunch of crap, very late and way over budget.

I'm so pleased that we've brought some of it in house with GDS, and I'm amazed (in a good way) that it actually works, and they are even part of the OSS community.
Right now we can, yes. There's nothing that guarantees that will continue to be the case in the future. If we could accurately predict future changes in market conditions, nobody would ever need stockpiles.

If anything, the writing is on the wall for American oil production. The current low prices are mainly a manufactured attempt to bankrupt oil producers with higher overhead costs.

> where I am literally the only natural born U.S. citizen

It's definitely an interesting phenomenon. I work at a large tech company, and within my team of ~70 people, I think there is maybe one other person beside myself who was born in the U.S.

My suspicion is that this is mainly due to the fact that U.S. culture no longer prioritizes STEM the way it does pop culture and entertainment, and so I don't really have any sympathy for the apparent inability of people born in the U.S. to compete with those from other countries who (at least from my perspective) appear to study and work much harder.

That there wasn't enough masks?

To be clear, I'm just saying the CDC never lied. You can disagree with its recommendation to try and save the masks supplies for Health Workers and people showing symptoms, but it never said that masks are ineffective. If anything, it might have said that it's still unclear how effective they are, but even then, it clearly took the cautionary approach.

If you read to the contrary, that was probably just a poor news source spewing misinformation. Or at least, I cannot find where on the official CDC channels they would have lied.
I get what the argument is saying, but there might still be times where I want to find every mention of a variable within a 3-line block. If that variable is a single letter, and possibly a letter that's used 10-20 times in the code in that block, I would consider that block confusing.

Ultimately, I don't think there's any hard rule or standard, just an evaluation of how easy it is to understand the code. Sometimes a single-letter variable will be fine, sometimes not.

But I'd bet a 4-letter variable will always lead to code that is easier to understand.

It's Her Majesty Queen of Canada. Yes, she is Queen of England, but also Queen of Canada, a separate role (though yes, I don't see her moving from Buckingham Palace to say Ottawa anytime soon).

The role of Quebec can be understood as Aboriginal, British and French are considered the founding people and English and French should have equal status throughout the government. It's also a very populous province that, by uniting around a single Quebecois political party, has to be considered in deal-making.
I seriously don't understand this seeming cultural hate for wooden houses. Where is it coming from? Because it's just not based in any kind of reality.

Look, you're emotionally attached to the kind of house construction you grew up in as a kid. I can get that.

But do you realize how freezing it gets in the northeast USA here? When it's -10°C or -20°C, I don't care how insulated your roof is, your walls matter a ton. Stone makes zero sense.

And even suppose you wanted a house made out of stone. It would just so much more expensive to build it's crazy. People don't have the money for it.

There's zero "scam" here. Our houses are not "paper". You do realize we're not building houses out of plywood sheets, right? That we use strong wooden beams that can be covered in whatever siding material you want?

And that wooden houses aren't a "new cheap" thing -- I had friends in high school who lived in 150-year-old wooden houses. They're wonderful and charming, full of history.

Seriously. I do not understand this prejudice at all. Where does it come from?

Like, do you see news photos of destruction of trailer parks in hurricanes and blindly assume that's what happens to our houses (totally different thing) with a slight gust of wind? Because that's seriously the only thing I can guess here.
