It's important to keep in mind that Zettelkasten's creator was an academic in the humanities. When I tried this system, I found it really shone when my goal was literature review -- i.e. to weave together arguments from disparate sources and articles, particularly when there was no quantitative or numeric way to do that weaving (e.g. in a table).

I think that more technical and quantitative subjects do not benefit as much from these large 'connectionist' note-taking systems. For example, if your goal is to learn a new programming language, I don't see Zettelkasten being particularly helpful: you've already grokked a a for loop in other languages, and you gain nothing by creating a new linked note under the 'for loop construct' heading. Just do some practice problems instead!

But if your goal is to compare and contrast features across many languages, or to identify where certain software architectures are lacking, Zettelkasten would work just fine.
Not talking about national or even state elections here—talking about local elections. And if one can mobilize thousands in a particular locale to protest (to take off work and go out shoulder-to-shoulder during a pandemic no less), why can’t they mobilize enough voters?
There’s no easy way back down from where we’re at.
It's not entirely surprising, but it has been rather shocking to see the groups, some more organized than others, that have been coming in and inciting these confrontations between police and the rest of the public present at the location.

From what I've seen of videos posted of the vandals and looters in my own and other cities it seems a certain, very small, percentage of bad actors are provoking escalations to the detriment of everybody else. Some of these parties seem to be doing that as a primary goal, others are simply causing the escalations as a side-effect of their actions.

Certainly this doesn't account for everything we have witnessed, such as the NG shooting rubber bullets at people on their porches(srs WTF?), but it has contributed substantially to the escalation IMO.
Only after a police station was burned down.

Lord forbid nobody caught the murder on video. This happens all over America, all the time. Thread is full of links or a quick hop on google will serve you in this regard.

What would have happened if it was citizens? All four would be in jail immediately, if they even get that far without being shot for "resisting arrest" first. At the very least they'd get a beating somewhere between having cuffs put on them and getting into a squad car. We know this from all the recorded instances of police brutality looking exactly as I've just described.

Lost their jobs. Come on. Would you merely "lose your job" if you watched your buddy murder a guy and stood there throughout the whole thing?
I just spent about 15 minutes searching all sorts of US government websites including the Library of Congress. I could not find any mention of the Internet Archive anywhere. Do you have a specific source that verifies that IA is a library?
It's probably a given that other western democracies have less police-related violence. Which countries have the best systems?

I suspect the impass will be worked around rather than fixed. Quasi-police will take on some law enforcement duties. Technology will intercede in a big way. Our public anonymity is probably already out the door.

I wouldn't be surprised if many looters are tracked and identified even with face masks, even retroactively.

Yes, it used to be a positive thing, eg, "So good/fun you'll get addicted". I haven't thought about addictinggames.com for maybe a decade but it seems like they're still around.

Years and years of such experience, but not as much with ending insurgencies.
The device looks like a big roll of norimaki, but there's another angle on the use of sushi for this project. Sushi is unique among savory foods in that it is usually eaten at room temperature. The lower serving temperature means that sushi emits fewer volatile esters, hence less smells, at least before chewing starts. The lower initial odors of sushi are one of the reasons that the look of sushi is so important: the colors and symmetry trigger the salivary glands in lieu of savory smells.

To create a device that simulates flavors but not smells, it makes sense to start with foods where flavor is more important relative to smell versus other foods.
> Certainly, this system isn't perfect

Well shit it isn't, it results every year in people being murdered in cold blood, nobody being arrested for it despite the perpetrators being known, and the majority of the population is apparently utterly fine with this - even you are merely saying that this situation "needs improvement", like you're marking homework. "The police only murdered one person in cold blood today rather than two, have a cookie!"

I've had a friend in an EU country have the police break their bones and leave them locked up without medical treatment for weeks, because they were an Eastern European refugee. This is what "Rule of Law" looks like - it looks like entire populations being utterly terrorised by a sanctioned force that they have absolutely no power to stop.

Law is a bunch of words on a piece of paper, it has no power to rule. We leave that to organisations (the police, prosecutor's office, courts and prisons) with a history and present of institutionalised racism and no accountability to the communities they terrorise.
> ...as soon as looting, fires, and violence starts, then a large portion of the population now starts discussing and being angry about that rather than the core issue.

If true, then it’s sad that loss of property is such an effective distraction to facing down centuries of systemic oppression. On a more conspiratorial note, this seems like a good counter strategy for the people who ostensibly would rather the masses focus on property damage than laws, statutes and police training.

On a separate note, the historical record of protests is mostly disseminated through MSM, which has a profit motive for click/read bait. So it’s truly hard to know the extent of violence occurring in recent protests. The citizen record (captured through Twitter, Instagram, TikTok) seems overrun with police violence against protesters and the media record seems overrun with pictures of looting and burning buildings. How does one truly grasp the extent of either?
That’s a shame. Facebook IC4 is somewhere from 1-2 years of experience to a new grad who has some sort of resume that is considered to have something equivalent to 1-2 years of professional experience, for people who are curious. IC3 is most new grads, IC5 is a senior engineer.
If it’s still the same as when I was there, most of their hiring is planned on a 6-monthly cycle, so it’s possible that around July 1 (the start of H2) they would open things up. But it’s also possible that with ad revenues looking bad in the short term, they might freeze hiring or drastically lower hiring for a longer period.

I don't use Monzo, so there's still the question of what does the UI show when they can't confirm the name - how much do they emphasize that everything now hangs on the account number only?

The bank app I use always shows a confirmed name if there is one. The UI problem is that when there isn't a confirmed name, they just do nothing, and say nothing.

Also, for very large transfers, the UI should do more than just tell you that the name can't be confirmed. The app should also encourage you to pester the receiving account holder to sign up for confirmation, especially if they are in the business of receiving large bank transfers (eg real estate & lawyer holding accounts).
It's from 2003.

You can't retroactively justify a riot based on police conflicts with rioters. It violates causality.
I searched for hours for a viable Zettelkasten method: org-mode, vim-org, TiddlyWiki, Roam, Notion, Joplin, Notable, Obsidian, Zettlr.

All of them were too complex, and not lightweight, cross-compatible, private/secure, or futureproof enough.

I decided to settle on the default MacOS editor using a mix of .txt/.rtf files, with extensive folder organization and the built-in tagging system.
I plan on consolidating journal entries into subject categories.

Example: let’s say I learn something about investing.
I write something brief about it in my \journal folder, tag it under investing, then maybe save a .pdf of the source to my \investing\temp folder.

Next, I add the new info to a note under the relevant category, such as \investing\ETFs.txt

Or, I create a new .txt/.rtf (depending my needs)

I believe tags are saved as metadata, so it should be cross-compatible.

For books, I’ll structure it as \library\broad_category
\book_name\chapter_n.txt, add the relevant folder tag, and maybe add an alias/shortcut in the relevant folder. I summarize key points under relevant files such as \investing\ETFs.txt

This seems like the best method to me, but I’m open to other strategies.
I thought it was a decent effort to point out content in the most relevant place.

Yes, of course. I took it as a given that any alternative solution would have to be automatic and so manual configuration of hosts wasn't an option. If you think it is an option, then the answer to your question is obvious: mDNS does it automatically, so you don't have to maintain the mapping and it works for automatic IP address assignments.

Minneapolis is where the inciting incident, the murder of George Floyd, occurred and thus became the epicenter of the current wave of protests.

Several examples here.
Our government isn’t oppressive. There are actual oppressive governments. We have some bad police and a law that protects them too often. Mostly things are as good as they’ve ever been and getting better all the time. Everything else is the media money machine going brrrr.
> Police brutality is a systemic issue.

That's a pretty bold claim. Do you have any statistics to show police are by and large using disproportionate force?

> Peaceful protest over the years haven't changed the system. Charging that one officer doesn't solve it either.

There are bad people in society. That doesn't mean the whole system is bad. Of course there is room for improvement, and action should be taken to remove those who are not fit to serve.

> The Police reaction to these protests clearly shows systemic reform is needed. Peaceful protesters and reporters have been tear gassed, shot, and arrested. They don't deserve to be tret like that just because others decided to vandalize and loot.

I agree that peaceful protesters don't deserve that. But let's get this clear, it was violent rioting that was occurring. In that situation, how are you to quickly separate the two groups?
The alleged difficulty lies only in the mind.

This

The police have taken an oath, have systemic training, and are funded and protected. They should be held to, at minimum, their systemic failures, but probably their oaths and training (which includes constitutional law and appropriate force)

On the other hand, the only thing that protestors have guaranteed to be in common is that they've shown up in a place.

It appears likely it is only matter of time before Trump deploys the military.

He was only arrested and charged because of the protests.
The buck stops at the mayor's office.

We need to hold these officials accountable.

Blaming the police is like blaming the soldiers in a war.

It's the regional ELECTED leaders responsible for the budgets and operations of the police departments who are the problem.
Great article, especially nice points about __repr__ helping logging.

PDB as mentioned is great, but IPDB is at a whole 'nother level. If I'm able to get an ipdb breakpoint set in a tricky part of python code, I'm set. Tab-completion, some saved history, normal debugger operations, it's a dream-come true. I often set breakpoints and code iteratively w/ a repl-like interface or explore unfamiliar functions and objects.

1. You are applying the ad-hominem fallacy: calling something a name something doesn't remove its value. The reason I didn't point to this label is to avoid people applying the same fallacy and tuning out before considering the merits of the solution.

2. This is the App-style notation. Notice how 'count' is used to indicate quantity not 'int'. You can see all app-style suffixes listed in the article.

3. I'm not the only one to come to these conclusions. From the Wikipedia article you provided:

* Steve McConnell: "... the basic idea of standardizing on terse, precise abbreviations continues to have value. Standardized prefixes allow you to check types accurately ..."

* Bjarne Stroustrup: "... a technique that can be useful in untyped languages ... [like JS]"

* Joel Spolsky: "... There's still a tremendous amount of value to Apps Hungarian, in that it increases collocation in code, which makes the code easier to read, write, debug and maintain, and, most importantly, it makes wrong code look wrong..."

4. this is a sensible, simple, and very light-weight approach to resolve a real problem that is especially pronounced with JS. It has been use for over a decade to manage code and teams and it works very well.

What naming convention do you instead suggest for JS?

Your comment pretty much perfectly captures what I haven't been able to articulate when it comes to how productivity and the methods by which to achieve it are constantly fetishized. It really makes me wonder if every Joe Shmoe touting the benefits of method X or tool Y really is productive in the "classical sense" or just seems that way because in their own microcosm the only way to measure it is by the volume of notes.
Yes, I and about 90% of the crowd wore masks. Yes, we did our best to keep 6 feet but not always, hence the masks. People were walking around with hand sanitizer to share.

A global pandemic is awful, but it does not alleviate us of our civic responsibility.

Was it uncomfortable and difficult? Yes. Am I glad I went? Hell yes. Black lives matter.
Thank you, this was the article I was trying to find but my google search skills failed me.
And yet there are dozens of filmed examples in the past couple days of police using unprovoked violence against peaceful protestors and other innocent civilians. There are quite obviously a lot of police officers who do in fact want and enjoy when they can legally employ violence against people.
I thought this exact point when I saw the parent.

There are two public faces to every department anytime an officer-involved story hits the news.

The police chief is a slick salesperson to put the department in the best light and is accountable to the mayor / city council. The union leader is the slimy salesperson who always paints the suspect/chief/mayor in the worst possible light and who constantly repeats the refrain "the job is hard", "we are only human", "followed standard department procedure", etc. There are a number of notable union leaders who are detestable caricatures of cartoon villains.
-> These few crashes are direct examples of owners with the misconception.

I fixed that for you.

If the news headlined every crash a Toyota was involved in, it would seem overwhelming. But when you compare to the total number of cars sold in the same day of each wreck, you realize this is all theatrical outrage.

This says nothing to Tesla deliberately ignoring the misleading marketing they put out, but MOST (arguably 99% and above) of us owners, know exactly the limitations of AP in our cars.
This is a bit of a weird article. It spends most of the time talking about logging, which is somewhat useful for debugging but not really. pdb gets a few lines of description, and that is about it.

Personally, I can't live without Pycharm when working with Python purely because of how fantastic the debugging experience is. The integration with the interactive IPython shell is simply fantastic, and the live variable viewer is also really handy. Between being able to prototype code in the interactive IPython REPL and then graduate it seamlessly to scripts/functions/classes, and then having an amazing debugging UX to fallback on for those bugs that slip through, I find myself to be orders of magnitude more efficient than when coding in something like vscode (which I absolutely love, and want to transition to for Python coding, but it is extremely limited in comparison to Pycharm, especially when it comes to the REPL experience + debugging).
The 8051 is a weird enough architecture, especially by modern standards, that having an upward-growing stack is barely even a footnote.

(Examples of its weirdness: it only has one general-purpose register; it has three address spaces, some of which are bank-switched; every register other than the program counter exists in memory; some memory locations are bit-addressable...)
Peaceful Protest: Nothing

Yes. This is an age-old and (unfortunately) extremely effective technique. "Agent provocateur" is the term here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_provocateur

There's a lot of direct and circumstantial evidence pointing toward exactly that sort of thing happening during this current time of unrest.

There are plenty of incidents during the current protests that, and I'm going phrase this very mildly for HN's sake, certainly invite... uh... speculation as far as whether or not there are agents provocateur at play.

Moving away from speculation and into the realm of hard facts, this sort of escalation is an explicitly stated goal of some movements. Example:

This is one of the few instances where doing something at a more central (e.g. statewide) level of government could be productive.
> "until we sort the issue of cops indiscriminately killing black people?"

Can we please stop making this just about race and recognize we have a general police brutality issue? You do realize cops kill just as many whites as they do blacks. The same police that killed George Floyd also killed Justine Damond.

When you rationalize away the white people who also have been killed, you polarize the issue and give justification to those who are committing violence and looting.
No.

The civil rights movement had a substantial amount of violence and change only started to happen because there was a very serious threat of it escalating. Purely peaceful protesting has almost never worked and most of the examples people cite (India's independence, anti-apartheid etc.) include a large amount of historical revisionism.

This is what happens when frightened, under-trained, under-experienced, over-militarized, desensitized "police" optimize for the wrong thing and defeat their fundamental mission by becoming an military occupation force of psychopathic a__holes who don't interact with "civilians" except to harass people, rather than a community service of human f__king beings.
Well, hopefully one day I'll find those places, but so far across NC, CO, and CA it's all majority authoritarians wherever I look. It's not that life is hard for me. It's great. It's just that there are lots of authoritarians everywhere and that's harming my worldview.

If you don't want to spread it too wide, I'd welcome a tip. renewiltord@protonmail.com

If you feel like you'd rather not share, I understand that too.
Looting and violence give them a path to dismiss it. It's risking the ground gained through mass protests.
