What if I had multiple members in my free workspace?
No worries, you don’t have to remove anyone! Nothing is different for you until you hit 1,000 blocks of content. At that point, if you want to add more, you can:

Upgrade to our Team Plan.
Start a new workspace for just yourself and use it for free, indefinitely.
Remove members, and enjoy no content limits on your own.
Note: Make sure members in your workspace have their private pages backed up before you remove them!
Strongly agree with that viewpoint and the central paradigm it describes, it's what's made my 15 year investment into Lisp more than worth it. It's also what makes every newly emergent language not measure up to Lisp: None of them focus on interactive development. In fact, the only one I'm aware of that (partly) did that was Slava Pestov's Factor but ultimately, it was more a proof-of-concept than anything that could be considered practical and is now languishing.

Later, Slava went to Apple to work on Swift, which turned out to be another mediocrity, lacking any sort of originality / vision and having a firm expiration date. There used to be a time when programming languages focused primarily on end-user empowerment and paradigm-centered computing was the norm (e.g. Seymour Papert's groundbreaking research in constructionism and incremental learning / development). There is precious little left of that now.
Maybe it's terrible, but when I hear something like "GoSojourn" I think, Ah, VC money! Let's see how subsidized this is....
Thank you for writing it. Never really had a glimpse of networking debugging process.
The only problems I could see is that some services that ONLY auth via Facebook will not work.

Having stated that, consider if you eliminate Facebook from your life and have issues on the web, and the answer to those issues is not "create a Facebook account" then it should be relatively safe to remove Facebook from your life.
This is accurate. You may end up getting stabbed with that fork however...
I am an epidemiologist working in Switzerland, and while I regret that Americans (and sometimes Europeans) ignore the quarantine, I wouldn't expect total submission to the government directives. Economy is important, the issue is not single sided, political freedom is the most important thing we have in the Western world. People are free to ignore what their doctors are telling them, for example. What is getting me sad is the idea that there is no medical reasoning to introduce the restrictions. There _are_ valid medical reasons. Ask any hospital worker.
For me the problem is that the minimum of $5 per month is just too much. I would like to see this work done, but not for $60 a year (plus fees?). I fall into the category of being alright with the state of my trackpad, so $60 is just more than I will give.

Edit: I'd gladly donate $2 or $3 per month.
First-party is when the provider of the data is also the owner of the property where that data was collected and used.

Google segments used on Google properties = 1st-party. Google segments used on other sites = 3rd-party.

NYT segments used on NYT = 1st-party. NYT segments can't be used anywhere else because they don't make them available nor do they want to.
Do you click with your "aiming" finger? I usually have tap-to-click turned on and do tap that way, but on any touchpad, MacBooks primarily until recently, I always click with my thumb on the bottom quarter, where older touchpads had a separate button. Is this only because I started on those old-style touchpads?

By "disrupt", do you mean "improves immensely"? It depends on how much FOMO you suffer from. For instance, the folks that I used to do music jams with (picture middle-aged folk playing bluegrass) have moved to FB Live(?) for some things. I don't see those, nor participate. That's okay, we do our own non-proprietary chat once a week in lieu of live jammin'. Local animal shelter posts stuff on FB, most of which I can live without.

Does shit break because something, something FB SDK? Nope, at least not shit I care about, and not FB.

But for the most part, I get to mostly forget that FB even exists.
Yeah all this agonizing over domain names makes me think of middle school "bands" I was in where we spent more time riffing on possible names than we did practicing.
Hard API limits on 100 rows returned at a time also make it completely infeasible for some use cases. Last time I checked, this couldn't even be lifted for enterprise customers too.

Let me enumerate the doubts I have about makomk's speculative guess.

1. The linked article in the comment reflects a clear understanding of the lag between occurrence and report dates, which points to the dashboard not having been in any kind of misleading state.

2. Even when a lot of politics is being played, it does not seem plausible that people were spinning deaths reported May 5 as being due to the May 4 reopening.

3. The "in reality had been declining" part fails to acknowledge the way reporting by occurrence date always makes graphs have a decline at the end (see rovolo's comment, sibling to mine)
A glimpse of the user tracking ecosystem
> why are independent product manufacturers in the US / Europe still using Amazon?

They do it to sell to people that are shopping on Amazon in spite of every problem with it. Never being undercut by Amazon isn't important to these sellers. Think, "I don't want to live in a world where someone gets undercut by Amazon better than us".
This is called permission marketing and was advocated for most prominently by Seth Godin starting in the late 90’s.

Unfortunately for every person in marketing who like Seth Godin cares even a little about things like privacy and consent, the marketing industry is full of thousands of people who would rather ram all kinds of ads as quickly and frequently as possible in front of every unwilling eyeball possible to try to brainwash as many impressionable people as possible into believing they need all kinds of things that they had no interest in previously. It’s a numbers game. They don’t just want to sell people things they want or need or would benefit from. They don’t even want to simply introduce people to unexpected solutions for problems they actually have. They want to do those things but they also want to exploit every psychological weakness possible to introduce new wants and new needs and new problems and insecurities into the consciousness of their targets because one can’t maximize sales without psychologically manipulating more people into thinking they want or need things they don’t.

Ads are primarily exploiting impressionable insecure people with poor impulse control.

Personally, I don't tend to purchase electronics online and then decide to sell them, unopened, in person instead of returning them.

Generally the way this works is folks will buy CC info online for surprisingly cheap and then just focus on turning those into actual cash.

Buying things online, having them shipped to a vacant house, and then selling them for cash is a classic way to do this.

This is super well done! One thought: big companies that make a lot of purchasing decisions would probably pay for a special tier of access, perhaps one that includes phone calls with your team that have actually done the reviews (reminds me of what GLG does).
> If I understand correctly, they call the module generating Python opcodes from Python code the "interpreter",

No, you misunderstand. They explicitly define the interpreter as "ceval.c which evaluates and dispatches Python opcodes". Maybe "evaluate and dispatch" suggest something else to you, but ceval.c really is the code that iterates over a list of opcodes and executes the associated computations. This is absolutely 100% the part of Python that is the interpreter. The module that generates Python opcodes is the "compiler" (or "bytecode compiler"), and the article specifically points out that it's not included.
EEE, slowly the Linux desktop | os environment will be a thing of the past. something you won't run directly but interact via the windows api. and your only other choice will be mac os on arm. the biggest mistake the linux ecosystem did, was being so fragmented. if they had rallied around one desktop env, then lots of people would've migrated. I personally use a t490 on ubuntu and a 2013 macbook. but even I I'm attempted to try out WSL even though, I haven't used windows in over a decade

Still lame that Microsoft has been waiting that long to deliver such a basic functionality.

The act of using Notion is in of itself busy work which distracts from productivity.

Not that you are using it for busy work.

It's a strategy used by productivity "gurus" for 100+ years to keep the $$ trickling in.

Just a few years ago it was todist...before that it was Omni.

Once notion peaks we will all move on to the next one.
If you use an automated configuration management system such as Puppet, you don't ever run sysctl manually in a shell. Instead, everything is controlled by the configuration management system.

sysctl is a bit problematic in terms of exhaustiveness. That is, how do you ensure that the kernel only has its original values plus whatever you put in sysctl.conf, and nobody actually ran sysctl manually at some point? But it's possible to do.
> really smart

Maybe effective? Smart implies a bit too much imo. For a while now, users have been using pages to promote their businesses and using FB pay for transactions. It seems this was inevitable, and I'm more surprising how long it took than how "really smart" it is.
So in 199{7,8,9}? I was using yast and/or apt-get to get packages. That was >20 years ago. Now MS have offered something like tar.gz of binaries without dependencies.

But I guess this is an answer to the "where's package management" question. Still not there.
AFAIK, You can have internal trace markers, not just between apps. I've used that (for Jaegger) in one of our Windows Application to see the call-graph (it's a level editor for our game), and it was tracking the loading of various resources across multiple threads, then it was visualized with jaeger and even zipkin.
There is a third option here. Don't publish data until it's collected. This means you don't publish data for deaths on a date until all the deaths on that date have been reported. Then you don't have to retroactively update anything because you didn't publish numbers before they're finalized.

This option is clearly better than publishing date of report as date of death, because doing that is inaccurate. The data is really from events a week or more ago when you think it's from today, and you can get clusters like this when many reports come in at once.

The disadvantage is that you then have newer data that isn't being published because it isn't completely in yet. But if you are going to publish incomplete data then it should still be date of death and the dates without full reporting should be annotated so that people understand that they're looking at incomplete data -- which they are, so it's very important for that to be understood.
I think what he's trying to suggest is that the customer may have been able to isolate the issue faster by walking through the provisioning settings for the machine to identify core changes.

The bug report resulted in a core fix, which is a better result than if the customer had fixed it themselves of course.

> Furthermore, if there’s any hiccup with the DNS-over-HTTPS connection, Chrome will fall back to the regular DNS service of the user’s current provider by default, in order to avoid any disruption, while periodically retrying to secure the DNS communication

Doesn't that make this pretty trivial to defeat? Just drop the DoH packets and boom, you've got unencrypted DNS again.
I've found Notion really worthwhile, but the fact it's so flexible means you need to go in with a plan so that you can really take advantage of it.

I really like how Marie Poulin's sets up her Notion process, here's a good example of how to make contextual dashboards - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX2AJD4kx80 but there's a bunch more, just massive productivity boosts from not having to jump between so many different apps/services.
All I can say is that I wouldn't go into this business today without either lots of automation (someone a while back had a script that flagged single-dictionary-word dot-coms as they expired) or some statistics-backed way of identifying keywords likely to pay off down the road.
Review: The Tourbox controller – can it speed up your editing?
I have no experience whatsoever with sound, but I got curious and did that, and got weird results:

https://imgur.com/HSSdM5t

(below is the original 440Hz square wave; above is the recorded sound)

The recorded waveform looks nothing like the original, and it sounds very different too: the original is much harsher, although the pitch sounds exactly the same, as expected.

Might be my crappy microphone? Or maybe the sound is being filtered somewhere along the way?
So this isn't a structured notes app like Notion, but InkDrop has support for Latex and code highlighting. It's not free, but it's the only notes app I've ever been willing to pay for aside from Bear.
Found the industry person.

Fully agree with this. Data leakage is also a real thing in RTB given the nature of the bid response if a pub wants any sort of decent CPMs/fill.

Bringing this all 1st party and essentially creating their own walled data garden boosts the value of the exclusive 1st party data for some presumably valuable audience segments, arms their direct and PMP sales efforts with even more exclusivity, and prepares them for the post-cookie world once the Chrome update hits, which only really works for publishers that can get high %'s of logged-in users to match to audience segments and build their models around.

This also handily lets them reduce/eliminate privacy legislation risk since presumably subscribers need to consent to all of this collection and usage for the service (nuances of how "ok" that is in the eyes of the various privacy bodies not withstanding).

Is it really a no-interest loan? Or is it a negative interest loan? The value of the bank notes the government gave you, presumably by printing it, is less than it was than a few moments ago by the sheer presence of more of it. And it's probably safe to assume that they'll print even more, furthering decreasing your payment's value.
>Anyone mind giving me a TL;DR on the value proposition/use case of Notion?

There isn't one.

Notion blasted the Youtube Selfhelp/Productivity space with sponsored videos to get a buzz going and now are moving to continue their growth story by offering a free tier.

It's designed to convert your productivity into minuscule parts to convince you that you are achieving goals. Akin to playing a game.
I don't disagree with you AND I've already been chastised once in the last week by a NYT staff member for daring to challenge their assertion that the web should be and overly complicated mess.
This entire article just made me nostalgic and sad for Maxis. Thanks EA.
Damn, for $60 you can get one bangin' mouse to carry with you and problem solved.
Well, imagine for example that you wrote this in python:

s = "hello" + "world"

You could measure the execution of the internal representation of this, and that would be all about the speed of the interpreter.

At some point, something may have to clean up temporaries and that may happen asynchronously with respect to the actual statement execution. Yes, it happens in the same process as the interpreter's execution of the code, but it's a theoretically "optional" cost that has no specific relationship with the statement.

There are interpreters, for example, where you can disable garbage collection. If the overall execution time decreased, it's not because the interpreter got faster, it's just doing less of the "runtime" work.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I'm still working on pricing. I've been thinking of adding the ability to pay for one league at a time, as opposed to monthly. For $19/mo, the thought is that you'll invite other people to play in your league (anyone you invite gets to play for free), and that it's easier to get one person to pull out a credit card as opposed to coordinating 8 or 12 people to do so. So if you split the cost with your league members and you're playing with 9 other people, it comes to $2/mo for each person (if you play for 8 or 12 weeks, that's $4 or $6 per person total). Also I figure some people would want to pay for some of their players, for instance educators playing with students.

Also I would consider this more than just a "simple drafting game". The application gathers and reconciles all the data to calculate daily points and manages various league, draft, and team states. It was labor intensive to make and there's a lot of features people still want implemented.

Random non rant:

Thank you for being self aware enough to know that you are in the minority when it comes to not having Facebook.

Most posts by people who don’t use FB and post to HN feign ignorance and say something like “I haven’t used FB in 10 years. Does anyone still use it?”
Quicken died for me ten ir so years ago, as did many other personal finance software applications. It is the syncing between devices that’s imperative these days, and this is where Quicken is failing, especially when your database gets larger: it syncs, but as your database grows its latency becomes ever more apparent.

Quickbooks Online, which I have been using for a little over a year, does syncing exceptionally well; but at the cost of a polished UI.

Ideally I would love to be able to access my Quickbooks desktop database using iOS or web, alas that’s not doable.

Ah no, I'm very far from the "book draft" phase — I'm more at the "Hello world" stage ;) I've been scoping out the hands-on projects first (e.g. simulate electric motor, heater, AC unit, heatpump, etc). I think adding the ODE theory will be the easy part, so I'm focussing first on the real-world projects/applications, which might be interesting to release as standalone blog posts to make the company blog look alive https://minireference.com/blog/ ;)

> There's a real information problem in B2B software. Without prior experience, it's hard to know how to evaluate a product, figure out what differentiates it, learn all relevant background, and compare against alternatives. Many times, it's difficult even to decipher what exactly a product does. As a buyer, you're often in the position of having to make a high-quality decision on something you're far from being an expert on. If you're anything like me, you often don't even know what you don't know.

Amazing copywriting here. I’m sure this deeply resonates with many people in tech. I’ll be looking forward to your service expanding its coverage on many more SaaS providers and their offerings.

Edit: I had a quick look at your site. I wonder if targeting a smaller range of reading duration could help. Right now it’s all the way from a shorter 12 minutes to a really lengthy 38 minutes, which seems like a huge variation to me. I get that some services will need far fewer words than others. I like that the summaries are all short enough, and help decide whether to read the full article or not.
I do agree, but the prevalence of Amazon's practices are very well known. Returned products being put back on a shelf or back into supply will obviously happen, but I have seen it happen almost zero with the retailers I mentioned (We have also been using target.com, costco.com, etc.). It definitely takes some effort and a little more shopping around, but it has mostly been working for us (in my household).
