And it needs to use Pones!

What are Pones, you might ask! Well, they're kind of like Nodes, but more vague and general purpose, so you can use them everywhere, for everything, no matter what you're doing!

I like to think of a PONE as the ultimate middleware between COM and NT. So you can't have a COMPONENT without a PONE! But they're great with all kinds of other stuff, too, like XML Pones, and JSON Pones, and Kuber Pones, and Reactive Pones, and Elm Pones, and Corn Pones.

Pones are disruptive, yet social!

Pones are taking the Internet by storm!

Live long and use lots of Pones!

Mark Twain: Corn-pone Opinions

http://www.paulgraham.com/cornpone.html

>[...] Broadly speaking, there are none but corn-pone opinions. And broadly speaking, corn-pone stands for self-approval. Self-approval is acquired mainly from the approval of other people. The result is conformity. Sometimes conformity has a sordid business interest -- the bread-and-butter interest -- but not in most cases, I think. I think that in the majority of cases it is unconscious and not calculated; that it is born of the human being's natural yearning to stand well with his fellows and have their inspiring approval and praise -- a yearning which is commonly so strong and so insistent that it cannot be effectually resisted, and must have its way. A political emergency brings out the corn-pone opinion in fine force in its two chief varieties -- the pocketbook variety, which has its origin in self-interest, and the bigger variety, the sentimental variety -- the one which can't bear to be outside the pale; can't bear to be in disfavor; can't endure the averted face and the cold shoulder; wants to stand well with his friends, wants to be smiled upon, wants to be welcome, wants to hear the precious words, "He's on the right track!" Uttered, perhaps by an ass, but still an ass of high degree, an ass whose approval is gold and diamonds to a smaller ass, and confers glory and honor and happiness, and membership in the herd. For these gauds many a man will dump his life-long principles into the street, and his conscience along with them. We have seen it happen. In some millions of instances. [...]
In electrical engineering, there are practical reasons to do this.

Here, there are none, except to be contrarian. Being contrarian is not the same as being clever, and this is very much not clever.
> Zettelkasten is the original name of the concept of networked note-taking.

No, it's not. Zettelkasten is just the german word for "Box of paper slips", a common tool for certain people. There are many famous Paperboxes from artists and scientist over the centuries, but the ojne responsable for this new zettelkasten-cargo-cult would be Luhmanns Zettelkasten.

Niklas Luhmann was a sociologist who had the habbit to gather notes to an excessiv level on paper slips and collect those in boxes. He was famous because he used common organizing-methods of scientist for notes, instead of just quotes, books and articles.

Some years ago serious research started about his notes, which are now all scaned and online available, and since then some kind of irrational cargo-cult around him has started.

This is a question out of ignorance, but couldn't this be a precursor of a potential strain (one that, through a mutation, can start replicating on MT-2 cells?). Like this could be a dead end for the virus, until it's not?

Or this potential is irrelevant, because tracking all potential mutations/strains simply makes no sense?
My understanding was the social distancing won't actually prevent everyone from getting covid19, it'll just slow it down so that we don't all get it at once. Most people will end up with it.

So given that, I'd say the changes are nearly 0%.

To actually keep infections to a minimum, we need to actually quarantine, but (again, my understanding) that will have too many other negative effects, and the economic hardships could actually kill more people than the disease would have.

That would go against the goals of the Urbit project, which is to appear mysterious and inscrutable to make the creators feel a sense of superiority.

Again, you're just ignoring what I said. I've managed tens of thousands of BSD systems for 25 years. I've never had anything installed that wasn't registered in the package database so all its files were uninstalled correctly. Yes, you literally do stick entirely to ports, creating a port when needed. Having a complex build system doesn't mess up your filesystem, it makes it take longer to create the port.

Read his insights and watch his interviews. That's a good basic start. Everything more then that: Nobody really knows.

I have read countless of books, but one thing you have to know:

It is a market - period. Something has value just because another person wants to buy it (at a given price). That's basically all there is. If you think that some asset is worth more in 10 years then it is now - buy it.

The "markets" go heavily up and down currently. That's just because different people price in the current health crisis in different ways.
It's convention to try to avoid to use the same name as a different project of the same type, though.

The question might boil down to use case. If the use case is “in this file, change all spans with class foo to divs with class bar once ever”, probably both tools will work.

If the use case is “every day, download this file from a server and process it using pre-defined text editing commands”, multi-cursor doesn’t help you in any way that I can see.

I admit there’s a huge overlap in use, but when someone asks for macros and a product person says “how about multi-cursor instead?” I think it’s fair to raise the cases where someone asking for macros might actually want macros.

I'm in my 40s and haven't had to deal with any really crazy situations like this. It isn't just that there's a possibility that 1 person I love could die from this, there's a possibly that any of them could. And the older they are, the more likely that they could die from it.

On top of that, I can't spend time with them in the way that I would if I knew they were at risk. I have to stay away from them instead. It's the opposite of what I'd do if I knew a loved one was dying.

I think I'm dealing with it better than most because I'm an introvert. But I watch other people around me being affected by this, and I can understand it. It's a lot of new, different stress all at once.
Thanks for the response and best of luck on continued success.
Thanks, these are all good points (and I did a bit of research/googling on the family plans that they had, too).

In a very simple example though: I'm currently considering getting a FM account, but I would only get it for the whole family, e.g. of 4. As of right now, I probably won't because 4 x $50/y is a tad too much.

So, in the one extreme, FM has to support +0 extra customers and gets $0. I'm not happy, they lose a customer, noone wins.

If I subscribe alone, FM has to support +1 customer and gets $50. Since it's their current plan, they are happy with it. FM wins.

Another unrealistic extreme, the whole family is free, FM has to support +4 customers and still gets $50. Obviously they aren't happy with it.

However, if the family gets a discount K, so that a family of four pay (K * $200), where K < 1, we get examples like e.g. they get +4 customers and +$150. If that's above their profit margins, they're happy and we're happy, everybody wins. I'm pretty sure even if K was something like 0.8 this would already attract many, the question is finding a number that suits everyone. Or it could be - get discount X% for family of size Y, so the discount is dynamic, e.g. 0.9 for 2, 0.85 for 3, etc.

I wouldn't categorize these users as "cheap" (why?) since it's not a whole lot cheaper than buying the normal plan X times. As long as there's a non-zero discount, it would be viewed differently by the users (as opposed to the current "fuck off, we don't care" approach).

We will never agree in what makes sense explaining economy because it's a political question. The first thing to do, in my opinion, is to accept that.

For me, personally, after trying to make sense for a while using the mainstream narrative, the only thing that worked was Modern Monetary Theory. Their explanation of the banking system is based in how it really works (mainstream textbooks don't), the sectoral balances framework (1) gives you a tool to think in terms of aggregate demand and their theory explain things that mainstream have problems with (like public debt ratios and inflation and interest rates relationships). There is a textbook available(2).

I liked Taleb's "The Black Swan" but find his Twitter persona grating. He displays an attitude of, "anyone who doesn't agree with me is dumb". I think the opposite is needed now. Complex and difficult issues are better approached with humility, and a frank and open discussion of uncertainty.

It depends on what you mean. If setting up a development machine (i.e non-server) there is the home-manager package which on top of the system configures users (what packages they have, home folder content).

Secondly, for an exactly deterministic install you'd also pin the nixpkgs to some commit (the package repository is a git repo). But I guess many don't do this unless they have specific needs.
> I'm not going to hoard in good times because I'm not crazy; I know I can't be ready for everything.

We don't want anyone hoarding (or gouging). However keeping TP enough for 2 weeks when supply was ample, whould have prevented this ever being an issue, and no gouging needed. TP production has never been an issue, the system shock of people panic buying (too much) all at once was. People aren't shitting more than before.

I have about a month's supply of TP at home, and have only bought 10 rolls since this whole thing began. I am not a prepper nor a hoarder. I just like having a buffer of things I like not being without. There's a miniscule opportunity loss of storage and sunken cost, but I'm not spending any more than I would with just-in-time purchasing.

> If we allowed price gouging, I might seriously keep a few extra boxes of masks ready for selling to others the next time this happened. I like money. I have some shelf space. The only question is will prices go high enough to justify using it.

Great argument for not allowing price gouging then.

Not sure if it will work for you but for me the joy in programming now lies in it helping me in my other hobbies.

I'm not following mail.python or any dedicated python-related blogs in the same way or with the same passion I was doing 10 or 15 years ago, but I still do enjoy using Python daily (and some JS) for implementing some of my hobbies (many of them relying on collecting, manipulating and presenting data).

> I can't believe that nobody has thought to build an application with bio-directional block linking like this.

bi-directional linking is not new. It's a known idea with some implementation in wikis and other software. But it usually comes with certain problems, so implementation is hard and performance sucks. Maybe those problems are today less visable with better hardware and more battle-tested software.

> Every app I have used with links can link to a page. Fewer apps can link to a specific page.

What do you mean with specific page? A block/paragraph on the page?
Basically, it's like distributing a single static binary in a tar file, versus distributing a dynamic binary and all its dependencies in a tar file. The whole purpose of using a tar file is to keep multiple files.

You can make a smaller tar file by including just the static file (less inodes/wasted file space of deps linking to each other/unnecessary extra function call data). And technically static files can sometimes execute faster (depending on page/cpu cache etc). But the advantages of static are much smaller when you consider the advantages to dynamic in a tar file - and even more advantages in a container.

So while there can be advantageous, they are vanishingly small.
Actually, there was a post on HN from a guy who makes medical masks that isn't ramping up production as much as he can. The article's headline was basically just that, trying to get as many clicks as possible.

The real story was that last time there was a shortage, he did ramp up production. But after the shortage ended, his customers dried up immediately and he was left with paying unemployment for all the new workers that he had to fire now. It nearly destroyed his business, and he's not making the same mistake again.

His masks cost 10c where Chinese-made masks cost 2c. There's no way to get hospitals to keep him in business during non-crisis times at 5x the price. If there were, he'd do it.

So it isn't just inability to physically increase production. Economics factors in heavily, too. If he could charge more for these masks, he could bank that extra and pay the unemployment (and other business expenses from ramping down) after this crisis ends.
Wow. I didn't expect that. Thanks for letting me know.

Targeted attacks will eventually figure out the honeypot, though may trip over it a bit and create some noise. Hopefully this causes someone to look at the attacker. This can also be useful forensic data to provide to the authorities.

Bots doing initial discovery won't figure it out. I have the same bots trying to log into my SFTP server today that have been trying for years. It's not even a honeypot. I literally create accounts for all the bots with a null password in hopes they one day upload something neat.
Well, it's the economy and not just food or travel sectors. Generally speaking, many buying decisions have been postponed both in B2B and B2C sectors. Essentially it means that doesn't really matter that viewership is going up or that rates are going down, what matters is that purchases are way down, so conversions are plummeting. Here's an example. Suppose, are sales averaged 10 billions a month and 10% (1 billion) was pure profit. Some of that money went toward buying ads. Now your sales went down 50% (5 billion) and let's say for the simplicity sake that profit margin stayed the same, even though that's not really true. So now your profit is only $500M. It doesn't really matter if views go up or down and how cheap advertising becomes. What REALLY matters is that your market is now half of what it used to be.

Maybe I'm don't understand it properly, but it seems to me that Austrian economics would predict hyperinflation and high interest rates in Japan the last twenty years when the opposite have happened.

As you say Modern Monetary Theory models predict Japan and, also, the missing depressions in Australia.

Basically yes, but it's a new development'drive with modern technologies. Wikis were big in the 200x years, and since then development slowed down significantly since all relevant features were explored and the most well working ones surved. Now the ones which were to early for the time seems to appear here and there, and development starts again all over the areas. Quite good I would say.
My new paradigm is to talk about what I've done, not what I'm doing. I noticed a trend that I'd talk about things, and people would start chiming in with the own ideas before I was done. I was only sharing because I was excited about something, and for whatever reason, sharing with other people before it was ready made things less fun for me. So now I build for myself, and I work on whatever I damn well please.

I think it would be great if you could invest in creating biodiversity more so than accelerating mono-culture agriculture with pesticides.

The real problem is that these folks (And all other cash crops) have rows and rows of the same crop and nothing else.

I used to believe this, back in the 80s I was a true Thatcherite believer. I still largely am, but some of the things I believed back then have turned out to be false, and the dire economic impact of minimum ages seems to have turned out to be one of them. This is why Conservative governments in the UK have been carefully ratcheting up the minimum wage here over the last decade or so.

A feared employment apocalypse at the low end has stubbornly refused to appear, at minimum wage levels that would have been considered reckless not long ago, and it's proved a useful policy coup neutralising a key Labour campaigning point.
Please leave right-wing propaganda outside of a good discussion. The US-centric view that "socialism" is some sort of great evil is just that: a view that is (mostly) geographically locked and has good examples of working just fine elsewhere.
But you can't grow wheat or raise chicken in 2 weeks, no matter how much money you pour into it.

I think our divergence in opinion comes from how much extra incentives to produce there is between the normal margins and the supply-constrained margins and how helpful that incentives is.

My hunch is that as long as there is a profit to made, extra demand will be met as soon as possible. Massively increasing the profit would help only if it would go towards raising food faster, which I think is not something that can be meaningfully improved in the time-frame we are talking about.
Yours seems to be that it would help us get food faster.
I might be totally wrong, so any data is welcome.

Note that I am talking about a case where raising margin would be forbidden, not raising price if it is necessary to increase production.
Also, this is only for the case where supply and demand did not change long term, and the current demand spike is caused by irrationality (panic buying or people trying to profiteer from panic buyers).
Case in point, after writing this I looked into it a bit more and it does a bunch of things I thought it didn't. Waaay to hidden and unattractive UI IMHO.
