> Many of the most successful people I know don't have complicated systems like this - instead of spending time on optimizing note taking, they actually get stuff done.

I admit not reading the article fully - I scanned it and it's not that great. But I'd like to ask - why relate ZK with "getting stuff done"? That's not a selling point of Zettelkasten and seems like misplaced criticism.

ZK is for academics. And while I don't know any personally who used it, I do know plenty who have some sort of extended note system, and the correlation to their success is not low.

And since ZK is becoming more popular, like so many other comments, I would caution people in not expecting too much from it. It is a lot of work. I used to (and still try to) keep notes on my computer for everything I study - done in the "inefficient" manner, and it is very time consuming. ZK requires more effort than that. You can't just dump notes in the system and have it work out. For every note you add, you need to ponder over what other related notes you already have, and explicitly link them. This is not fun and it is "expensive".

I read an account from one academic who started using ZK in his grad school years. He said something similar: It is a lot of effort, and he said most of the real gains happened after he'd collected notes for eight years - then things took off for him.

> I see a similar trend with org-mode users. It's great and all on a technical level (I've used it myself in the past) but it's easy to fall into the elisp and customization rabbit hole.

OK - now the gloves come off :-)

Most org mode users don't know elisp. I didn't for almost my first decade of using it. And people only stick to org mode because it is fairly successful for them. I use it extensively to author documents (be it for Word, HTML, LaTeX, Reveal, Beamer, etc). Except for a few PPTs, I haven't authored in any other system for over a decade.

I use it for taking notes, and nothing has replaced it since I started. I often refer to notes I took years ago.

I'll admit I haven't used it well enough as a TODO system and this is likely where people may get stuck tinkering.

I use it as a logging tool (weights, people I've met and when, etc) and it's great.

I use it for literate programming. Awesome - especially when learning a new language. I have code snippets, with evaluated results all in the same document.

All my blog's content is authored in one org document and exported to individual pages. I tried many blogging systems in the past and this is the only one I stick to.

Org mode is just amazing.
In Tamil, lot of CS terms are already translated but nobody uses that in speaking form. And they are properly translated in websites and mobile apps too.
GitHub + Netlify makes a really nice combo as well, since Netlify helps with simple form handling (and a bunch of other niceties)
Heroku, Netlify, AppEngine, Firebase, etc. lots of possibilities to host a personal site completely free.
Can you still filter by sex? That sounds a bit sexist.
Anecdotal, but an ex-friend cop told me YEARS ago that they never use their radios for "sensitive" communications anyway, they just call each other on their cell phones so that there are no records of their conversations.
"Pocket recommendations, featuring some of the best stories on the web, will appear on the Firefox new tab for our users in the UK."

I really hate to admit how often those darn Pocket recommendations get me! I don't know how they choose what shows up on my tab, but more often than not, there's at least one thing in there I end up reading.
Serving from S3 with Cloudflare adds tiny marginal cost to both of those companies. I moved a few static sites to that setup. Cost is in compute, storage, etc. not hosting static pages.
Completely outside of my area of expertise, so this may be a silly question, but are police transmissions distinguishable from others in their encrypted form? If so, there could still be a use case for knowing _where_ the cops are. Wonder if some sort of mesh could be used to triangulate the positions of these signals.
Do you have an old computer at home, and an internet connection? You can always host it yourself.

The electricity used may not be cheaper than paying someone else a few bucks to host it from their data center.
Using Formal Methods to Eliminate Exploitable Bugs
Outline is nice. But, imo it must be javascript free(atleast not that loading animation) for maximum satisfying user experience.
Thanks - I don't know much about hardware, so this helps.
I second this. The third part of the book is a great look at which patterns are helpful with testing.
You can look up where the towers are and perform triangulation on the ones that you are connected to given multiple antennae. It'll cost you some hardware and you'll probably be writing some software also.

Another option can be just seeding a few phones around the area and have them report moving (or transient) towers.

I play at a local church sometimes, and they use ableton for their click tracks and loops.

They've had SO many issues with it. It has randomly died mid-performance, the tempo click has completely gone off the rails mid-performance, and the loops got transposed once into a completely different key mid-performance.

I use a 2012 MBP stuck on High Sierra. It has occasional issues when I record, but nowhere near the amount of issues that we experience at the church. I want to upgrade badly, but I really don't want to deal with those kind of issues.
Again, from one internet stranger to another, it has been my experience that:

1. Writing & reviewing notes is forcing the process. It is not automatic.

2. Specialized methods don't generalize well.

3. Personalized methods/notations/styles emerge naturally.

4. Nothing beats pencil-and-paper (with a lot of sketches).

5. Chasing "more efficient note-taking" is grossly counter-productive.

YMMV.
I thought Intel had a contest for naming the 486 successor.

Cost? They tried rolling out Tetra in a few places in the USA.
If those are the keys used in production, then I'm horrified.

I was investigating starting a small personalized Scanner app with an AI twist but found that you're no longer granting licensees for mobile app developers - basically stopping all innovation in this area.

"The broadcastify audio feed catalog API is only available to approved licensees. We are currently not issuing addtional licenses to mobile device developers at this time. "

Can you explain the rational here?

> If it is IPv6, it's nearly impossible to remember the address.

Why should that be the case? If you have 1000 nodes, you could organize your network such that node one gets prefix::00:01, node two gets prefix::00:02, node 138 gets prefix::01:38, etc.

There is so much space in IPv6 that you can group things more logically than was ever doable in the IPv4 world.
Interesting. I can't always repro. Maybe it depends on the ad.

Is Bromite available on Google Play?
Totally agree. After reading so many reviews panning the new MBPs, I ended up replacing my ancient 2011 MBP with a 2015 model. You can still find new/unopened or relatively unused models on eBay. I love this laptop. i7, 16GB memory, AMD Radeon R9, great keyboard with F-keys... plus, it has all the standard ports I need: USB, HDMI, Thunderbolt. All for much less money than a new machine from Apple. No complaints at all.

Stitch Fix is laying off 1,400 in California, 18% of workforce
At one job I was afraid of losing a set of keys, so as an extra backup, we had a physical copy of the the key printed out as a QR code. This was then physically locked away (safe deposit or similar). But I like this as an option for a “failure resistant” offline backup. The main benefit is that doesn’t assume a stored away USB stick will still be readable while still having a somewhat machine readable format. Yes, the QR code was very large, but could be split into multiple files if needed.
The idea that kneeling on a restrained human’s neck for 9 minutes isn’t something they knew could lead to the severe injury or death of that person would be laughable if it wasn’t so chilling to hear you defend.

If I owned a martial arts studio and I let a student do that, I’d face criminal & civil liability. Why shouldn’t trained officers of the law be held to at least that standard?

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small and agile team in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a sunny satellite office too. For the time being, thanks to Covid, we are in fully remote mode.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, C++ (replacing still present Erlang[ß]) and Javascript for React & React-Native, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. The tech stack sports Kafka, Postgres and Kubernetes. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent all across the board: frontend and mobile, infrastructure, trading engine, security - and of course generalists, those yet to find their calling.

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers .

---

ß: to pre-empt questions on why C++ or why not Erlang - our exchange team have promised to put together a proper write-up on the tradeoffs, design constraints, performance needs, etc. In fullness of time, that is, when the most painful (and probably interesting) migrations are behind them.
I took > 100,000IU for nearly 3 months (look up the Coimbra Protocol) with no ill effects. Avoid calcium like your life depends on it (even for months after stopping) and you'll likely be fine (I am not a doctor, this is not advice, just sharing my experience.)
I think one big factor is cost.

A lot of the "essential" labor that you're talking about also happens to be really cheap labor. Developing a robotic replacement (even if it still requires remote control) would pay for years if not decades of low-wage labor, not to mention maintenance of the robots which will need to be done by relatively skilled (and thus costly) labor.

MeiliSearch – Open Business Plan v0.1
Whats (not) fun is having two laptops and not being able to touch them both at the same time because of some grounding difference. With just one, sometimes I feel the electrical vibration. With two, sometimes there is a very uncomfortable zapping sensation in both hands as they each touch a different laptop. It's a bit like if you've ever touched a 9v battery to your tongue, but much stronger.
YubiHSM 2 has worked fantastically well for us as a root of trust in a variety of applications, at a very reasonable price ($650) (I am unaffiliated with Yubico other than as a very satisfied customer).

Accessible over USB or HTTP, it supports every major crypto algorithm [1], and keys can be backed up onto another HSM via a wrap key (if they are marked as exportable -- you can also control what can and cannot be exported -- in fact, every operation may be allowed or disallowed per key).

Every operation is logged for audit, of course, and the device may be setup to require logs to be read before they are overwritten. In combination with configuring a special authentication key to access the logs, you can ensure that every operation on the HSM is logged to a remote store before additional operations may be completed.

It does depend on your existing physical security, so that has to be taken into account when designing architectures including it. The micro form factor at least makes it trivial to put into an internal USB port.

And of course, if you require a more enterprise grade tool, you may want to use an HSM in combination with a tool like Hashicorp Vault to manage your keys throughout your orgnaization.

For hosting: Many options. HelioHost[0] is worth mentioning, free 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; Vercel,Git(Lab/Hub) Pages ect

For domains: Take a couple hours to find the cheapest ones available but you can get a free sub-domain as-well which is the cheapest available. I do NOT recommend Freenom ones users always had issues with them. However I do recommend eu.org[1]. You can get a sub domain like (4-letters and more).eu.org or anything.(on of their subdomains).eu.org. For example I have two: asvvvad.eu.org and vvv.int.eu.org.

For DNS forwarding (A/AAAA/CNAME/TXT records ect): I started with Namecheaps FreeDNS but switched recently to 1984hosting.com's free DNS service I used the former for quite a while and didn't have many problems with it just set it up and forgot about it but using 1984hosting's feels better and easier specially the interface

1984hosting also have a hosting plan that include free .com domain. It only have yearly payments which is $109 for a year and $129 for renewal which is less than $10 a month. That's pretty cheap for an unlimited hosting with a .com domain included I guess

I too feel the same. These coding sites don't encourage quality code nor craftsmanship. These are just for people who believe in pseudo-resumé-driven life.

`#include<bits/stdc++.h>` in those sites is just enough to avoid those sites(they copy from non-good geeksforgeeks website which must also be avoided most of the cases)

Lighting the way to better battery technology
What the hyperloop set out to achieve was a worthy goal. The cost of high-speed rail in the US is astronomical so any solution that cuts that cost dramatically is a good thing. His plans for the LA-SF route was very much like what Brunel engineered for the GWR with a series of tunnels and bridges to minimise the gradient and allow for high speed and volume. I caught an InterCity125 a heap of times back in the early 80's while living near Chippenham running on the same line Brunel built.

I think with Musk, it's the lesser known achievements like the big battery in South Australia that elevate him to the level of Brunel.

I don't think this would work. How would one get around the ISP's NAT to expose your address to the wider internet? At least, without potentially paying the ISP extra or going through a (relatively) lot of trouble to monitor/manage where your DNS is pointing. If I am way off base on this, please elucidate.
Only if you cannot build. If you can expand units its most definitely a win-win game.

Only tangentially related but I've recently looked into how fonts usually work (OpenType, TrueType and the like) and it's astonishing to me how complicated this all is.

For example: TrueType includes the ability to embed small executable programs in your font to adjust little details in the rasterization process (I believe it's called "hinting"). It has its own VM and bytecode for that!

I think I am lumping them all together, but my bad experiences are all with adaptors (Eg USB C to HDMI and similar). At least half the problem for me is the USB C cable and the variety of things that can be plugged into the port that look the same but are not.
