After going through a series of apps (Yojimbo, Evernote, SimpleNote, Bear, Ulysses), I now manage all my notes in Markdown files, some in git and some synced via iCloud Drive. This has downsides, in particular it's only ok on mobile and lacks integrations. But I find the upside is more important: You can build your own features with shell scripts (that can then be integrated into your editing environment), and you can use your notes in many different applications. E.g., you can use a file manager like the Finder to organize your notes, and you can use tools like grep and diff to search and compare them. You can edit them with multiple text editors, for somethings vim is better for others I like iA Writer.

Over time I’ve built a ton of my own features into the system, for example I've built my own documentation system. It's essentially like have my own `man` pages for GUI and CLI apps I use, that just document the features I commonly use.

An example documentation directory:

https://github.com/robenkleene/development-references

How you can lookup documents:

https://github.com/robenkleene/Dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/...

My own snippet system:

https://github.com/robenkleene/Snippets

Looking up a snippet:

https://github.com/robenkleene/Dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/...

My own project management system:

https://github.com/robenkleene/Dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/...

(All of the above can be integrated into any scriptable text editor, e.g., I can use all of these feature from vim, i.e., fuzzy search and open a note, or the same with VS Code (I’m working on building up VS Code over time as a non-modal editor to complement vim). I.e., these scriptable text editors become a custom note taking environment built to my requirements. Since most things are written in bash, it’s easy to use any text editor on top. All you need to do is call the shell scripts from the editor and a light layer of text-editor specific GUI details on top.)

All of this stuff emerged organically over time based on my needs and the growing complexity of managing more and more information and more complicated tasks. The problem all single app solutions run into is they just don't scale and grow with you.

To solve the mobile issue, my process is very simple: I use OmniFocus which allows me to instantly save a URL, text note, or anything else to my inbox, and then I just process (categorize and save) the new notes each morning before I start working. If I really need a note on my phone, Spotlight works surprisingly well for looking up a note by name in iCloud Drive (just turn off Spotlight for every app you don't want to search), and I can use Working Copy for notes in git, finally if I have to, I can ssh to a remote server with Blink Shell and use shell tools from iOS (for any note that's in git, those are also on the server).

The specifics of my system aren’t important, what I like is having a system that grows with me, and that I can customize to my needs.

Wait, are we still talking about the economy?
Are you serious? There is an entire industry around swift, countless blogs, podcasts, books and websites. Interest is growing steadily and people are more excited than ever. It’s open source and has a very engaged community around it’s development, anyone can propose changes to it.

And of course it’s not 100% apple only, apple themselves have invested a lot in swift on linux, and others are working on swift for windows and webassembly. You couldn’t be more wrong actually.
And notice that neither Microsoft, Google, nor Adobe sell “iPad apps”. They sell a subscription that allows you to use their apps across all platforms.
Intent doesn't communicate itself on the internet, so the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

When you post to a large public forum like HN, you're broadcasting to thousands. Public broadcasting is not like communicating face-to-face with one person. It's volatile, because the odds of somebody hearing something different from what you had in mind go way up. If you were speaking on, say, television, this would be obvious, but the medium here is more intimate. It feels like personal communication but actually is public communication (or rather, is both), which brings risks. The risks get worse as the community gets larger.

What do to instead? You need to think probabilistically. On the one hand, you're talking to a single person, the person you're replying to. But you're also talking to a statistical cloud of thousands of readers. With the statistical cloud, the question is: what is the probability curve of the reactions the community may have to this comment? If somebody somewhere gets activated, they will rush to the thread to make objections; that in turn will activate others, and off we go. That's how threads go haywire.

You're not responsible for any individual reaction—someone might just be in a bad mood, or have some weird issue—but you are responsible for the "probability curve" of your comment. The expected value of your comment is something like the sum of the areas under that curve: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

There's no need to get the probability of a flare-up down to zero. That's impossible. You just need that part of the curve not to be too high. If your comment gets a hostile reaction from one random reader who goes on tilt for whatever reason, that's no big deal because the community won't support it. They'll contain the damage for you. But if the curve is too high, chances are that the community will take it badly—or rather, that some subset will. If the entire community takes it badly, that's also no big deal; the comment will simply be flag-killed. Such posts have a negative value, but it's small. But when one segment of the community takes a comment badly and gets activated, and then a second segment gets activated by their activation, we end up with flamewars—entire subthreads with negative value.

The issue isn't whether you intended such reactions, it's whether your comment would likely give rise to them. That probability is higher if...actually, let me put this positively: that probability is lower if your comment includes markers to disambiguate intent. There are many ways to do that, but the shorter ways are best (e.g. "off topic, but"; or "in case it's helpful"). Even just a little calibration acts as flame retardant. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
You and the GP are in agreement with each other and in disagreement with the OP's claim that Bitcoin created this perverse incentive--the incentive to externalize pollution costs has its origins in the Bronze Age or sooner. Bitcoin is further exploiting this incentive.
Yet another novel I will no longer write
Did that for 3 years too, and im burned out, and you know whats funny? Spent most of the money trying to triage a back issue no one could solve.

My back gets better when i dont go to work, bitter, right? Im not even old yet, and i have no idea what to do. Something inside is screaming “no.” And it feels hopeless
Well then go write or link to a blog post to provide us with an actual counter-point maybe?

People who do not work in healthcare are perfectly capable of learning how to doff properly. Qualifications and training in ancillary issues does not matter. Training in mask donning/doffing is what matters, and anyone can be trained in this.

Most people have someone in their life they can ask to spot them as they practice removing their mask.

Also, wouldn't washing/disinfecting your hands after improper doffing prevent self-contamination?
Everyone is using more household TP (40% more IIRC), and much less commercial TP. And it isn't actually the same factories producing both, nor the same distribution network. TP for commercial businesses is different paper, packaged in different sized rolls. So shortages of household TP make sense. Some people might be hoarding, but even without that there is going to be an ongoing supply issue until the supply chain rebalances.
I didn't really experience the 08 crisis directly but the aftermath for sure as I got my degree in 10 and the market in my home country was really bad at that time.

Had to go back to my less than stellar family for a year and a half, all of us surviving on the struggling family business while slaving away pretty much all the time.

Got a way out to move to Belfast and build a career slowly moving up from shit job to less shit job.

While lots of it has sucked, in hindsight it was the best thing that happened to me.

So you know, there might be a silver lining, maybe it's even platinum but you can't even tell yet.
I think it is just to make a point - that BTC generated from this "wasteful" activity can be used for any purpose. It could pay off executives or the government can use it to propel society forward or offset carbon credits or build warheads. The right or wrong is not in the action of mining BTC, it is the same as any other economic acivity.

I've added some more clarity.

> Sure, some Bitcoin critics don't understand it well, but don't paint us all with that brush. Some of us have a very good understanding of what Bitcoin mining is and still find it tremendously wasteful.

By all means, expand on this and enlighten me, I am curious to hear both sides.
Occasionally I blow the mind of yet another non-technical person who learns from me that not only does Apple require iStore apps to be developed using their hardware, but also there's an annual fee for the privilege of being able to publish to the app store.

And on top of that a 30% fee from in app purchases during the first year.

Is there anything stopping operators from showing up? The IETF mailing lists are no more exclusive than (say) the NANOG ones I would think.
I have been using Twitter as a bookmark system since the past 10 years, it works great - you can search, tag (#hashtag) as well as supports different content

You can even download all your tweets and there are hundreds of twitter apps and tools around it.

Additional benefit is additional followers, cloud sync and it's simplicity

No dump/reload, but you do need to shut down the server cleanly, enable checksums[1], and start it back up. Note that enabling checksums is expensive, but not as expensive as dump/reload.

Power was more concentrated and was more absolute and that gave you way more advantages. A run-of-the-mill Roman patrician had more power and influence then than let's say Jeff Bezos today.
I’ve replied to your baseless statements about swift already below, and as to AR: nobody knows what will come of it but apple most definitely haven’t abandoned it. They keep increasing their investments into ARKit and even added a Lidar to the ipad last week.

Yes- but I'm talking about the inflection point- where the curve goes from concave up to concave down. These are modeled as gaussians- so if that modeling works we would be a standard deviation from the peak- assuming the crisis is being well managed.
That's where I grew up! I know exactly what you mean. I heard that it was a test market for new product introductions by national fast food chains. I'm not opposed to fast food businesses, and I think they have a right to market their products, but it was oppressing to live in a place where they defined the entire culture. It seemed like most people living there didn't care, or even preferred it that way.

I suppose they did prefer it that way. They voted with their dollars and they ended up with main drags that run for miles, filled with parking lots, strip malls, mega-stores, and fast food restaurants.

When I've gone back in the last couple of years, it's not quite as bad as it was in my memory. It still has the same nationally marketed conformity, but it is not as uncontested as it used to be. There are a lot of mom and pop ethnic restaurants, for one thing. It's not as uniformly crass as I remember.

I took a long, rambling walk while I was on a visit last year, and I was pleasantly surprised. Off the main roads, in the residential areas, it can actually be an interesting place. Maybe this is true of almost anywhere. Of course, it is all built for people to get in their cars and drive to the business districts.

Growing up wasn't all ${nationalBurgerChain} and car culture, though. My friends and I rode our bikes for miles, and anywhere we found woods or swamp we built forts and played make-believe games with D&D themes.
I think its actually ok, we come together to support each other. The dead are already resting, unlike the living.

Id say check your youth hubris, and let people vent. Death is a bell, not a jailer.
Thanks for the prompt response! Book-wise do you have any suggestions? I would be interested in acquiring some more knowledge on circuit prototyping and so on. As a side, was this your first design / iteration?
CSAs are way less robust than the mainstream supply chain. People want a 'robust' supply chain that they define as one that is able to immediately (in the course of a day) shift from mostly commercial to mostly residential. This is a ridiculous ask, and I don't understand why people think this is how things should be.
But it doesn't have to be flared or emitted immediately. There's nothing keeping them from generating less electricity now and burning the natural gas later.
>The validity of the argument isn't affected by whether one is a hypocrite.

I personally think it matters how much of an effort the person espousing beliefs is putting in to deviate from the norm their are complaining about.

For example, I'm not going to listen to your arguments about climate change if you aren't actively curbing your red meat consumption. Although, if you're making an effort to reduce your red meat consumption, I'll take you more seriously about climate change. It may be virtue signaling, or whatever phrase of the week, but I need people to believe in what they're fighting for.

edit: for those downvoting, please leave a remark. It's hard to understand this website since so many people downvote without any response.
Yes and no. I have received a handful of requests from lawyers to remove their clients charges from a news aggregator I ran. All of them had their charges dropped but when potential employers were searching them online they would come across the booking information.
But how do you prove that? It’s trivial to replicate the hardware the file was lifted from if the malware grabbed the standard sys info. File create/modify times could also give you a pretty damn good guess as to when the encryption happened.

Kissinger should be regarded as the elite spokesman and what he says should be taken very seriously.

"Addressing the necessities of the moment must ultimately be coupled with a global collaborative vision and program."

This is not a surprising take.

" The pandemic has prompted an anachronism, a revival of the walled city in an age when prosperity depends on global trade and movement of people."

OK.

Not only is nobody using bitcoin for that, bitcoin is also a negative-sum game, and no actual new wealth is created. If you were going to buy those credits, you would get more if you cut bitcoin out of the equation entirely.

I really don't think git reset --hard should be at the top of a list of git commands intended for beginners.
Really? I think it should be retitled: “Ignorant take on America from a foreigner who didn’t bother to actually understand life in America outside a small bubble.”
Nearly every part of Europe would be such an example. Even Britain, which is no shining example on the Continent, has extensive extradition hearings to determine whether it would be humane to subject the accused to the barbarity of USA judicial system. The death penalty is popular here. Death by police is common. (although it's difficult to say how common because DoJ doesn't track this! Some sources say it's about 1000/yr.) USA has more people incarcerated than any other nation in the world, in the history of the world.

Nothing too fancy, the skeleton of the schema is basically just:

Tags(tag_id, tag_name)
Files(file_id, file_address)
FileTags(file_id,tag_id)

That's for organizing files using tags. I can organize notes like this by either putting notes into many text files and tagging them, or by putting notes directly into the DB with another Notes table. I've prioritized the former, since many of my "notes" are actually photographs of whiteboards or other non-text data. Storing textual notes directly in the sqlite database works well too though.

To interact with the system, I threw together a quick emacs client and a GUI client. Nothing fancy or pretty yet, but functional enough for my day-to-day use.
git reset --hard can be pretty destructive when applied at the wrong moment. When reverting changes in selected files, my preferred way is to use git checkout selectively.
Job is definitely managing to make some great progress, which is impressive. There aren't a huge number of folks that have the time and effort that is required to push these things through.

I've worked for an operator all the time that I've been in the IETF, and its definitely pedantry, not-invented-here, and lack of understanding of real issues that prevents us making significant progress. I personally have had more than one go at trying to improve IETF<->operator communication, and made little to no progress.

A much more successful model has been writing code, co-developing it with other operators and vendors if possible, and then working directly with vendors to push their implementations. This model self-selects on solutions that are actually used (because there's non-standards-focused engineers involved), and rather than worrying about potential edge cases, get to handle the problems that occur in practice. This is a bit harder to do with changes that require global scope -- but all technologies we develop now need to coexist with legacy, so I'm not clear that it's not the best model as we go forward.
Actually the claimants use it intermittently while the UC office staff use it for much of their working day. I don't know for sure, but it's a pretty likely that it's actually quite a bit harder on them.
Yeah, the post you're responding to feels like a huge internet trend where people are absolutely desperate to grasp at straws to make complete strangers look like stupid hypocrites and rely on projections to do so.

I'm not sure if people are more filled with angst because they're cooped up at home, but it seems to border on a mental disorder if you're sitting behind your keyboard all day screaming at people who are "hypocrites" because they both don't like oil being drilled, and also live in a society where they use some oil.

I saw a video a few months ago mocking "anti police protesters asking for the police to help them when they were being attacked". And the premise seemed to be "haha, if you hate police so much (they don't), isnt it ironic that you need their help?" No, not really. They pay the police's salary though taxes. Its not like them protesting takes that funding away. Apparently its hypocritical to not mindlessly agree with everything police do if you will ever need the police to help you. Same shit here, just endless angst and hate for stranger based on made up projections. Why? What is the use for this?
Another article I read said that something similar was going on with TP. Lots of businesses and schools shut down. People at home are using more TP.

I also suspect that, to an even greater degree than with food, people are doubtless--if not exactly hoarding--at least stocking up with a bit extra. Which, multiplied by millions of people, is a lot.

My case is probably pretty typical. Before things got really crazy, I checked around my house for levels of various things and picked up some more of anything I could even vaguely use some more of if shopping became more difficult for the next month or two. Which included getting a big package of TP which I wouldn't have bothered about for another month or so normally.

Don't know yet. We'll have to wait and see what develops.
Sure, but life is busy. If you don't care enough about your beliefs to bother doing anything for them, why should those of us that don't necessarily even hold them give a shit?

I'm relatively young, but I kind of feel this way. Even reflecting on a 100-year lifespan, life seems too short (and pointless) to be dominated by neurotic stresses fueled by pride or social pressure, even though it's highly pragmatic to be. Hell, you can say that WAY more convincingly about any langs or frameworks we fuck with, too. xD

But that said, I'm comfortable financially, so I can afford to sacrifice that pragmatism, AND this is probably more emotive disaffection with "the system, man" than wisdom and experience about what's worthwhile talking.
The bug is in the "find an application and launch it" code, which is distinct from the "user located this application within Time Machine and tried to open it" code. Apple will either make the distinction so that you can manually open an application from a Time Machine backup, or simply prohibit launching applications in both scenarios and require you to restore it to your user partition to do so.
Not exactly an answer to the question, but thoughts inspired by it and in service of it...

It's in vogue right now to have one tool "do it all," but I disagree with this approach.
1. It is driven by business economics and not an improved user experience.
2. Simple/focused tools are better suited to particular jobs, while larger encapsulated toolsets devolve to serve the denominator.
3. Reliance on a single behemoth is a fragile position that makes change burdensome.

So – multiple tools, each optimized for a specific function, is the way to go!
