Free to play is not all a plague.

A significant chunk of the world's largest games right now are free to play.

As an example, I can play Fortnite with my friends on other platforms for free. That's impressive.
Zettelkasten is exactly what you wrote here, with one addition. It not only offloads querying for detail (i.e. search) to the machine, it also offloads some connection-making. Search and lookup is internet-as-extended-memory, links and backlinks are internet-as-serendipitous-thought.
This is more interesting than all the other layoff stories in that they're axing 1,400 California jobs but adding 2,000 in lower-cost locations like Dallas, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Austin.

It's like offshoring -- but off-Californiaing.
> I have been in the middle of protests when I worked for Reuters and the difference between peaceful and violent is very tiny.

Can you spot the difference between an African and European swallow? I bet you can't. But a professional bird watcher could tell them apart in a second.

Same thing with protestors. When I was active I could easily tell the difference between someone potentially violent and someone peaceful. Woman with a stroller - probably peaceful. Person in all black with a large backpack - potentially violent. Admittedly, this was many years ago but I don't think rioters are any harder to spot these days.

Thing is, most riots are planned and not spontaneous events. Troublemakers infiltrate the crowds and try to cause confrontations with the police. The police reacts with heavy handedness causing those who are peaceful to sympathize with the troublemakers. More of them join the troublemakers side causing more confrontations and eventually it spirals out of control.

The simple solution to this problem is for the police to target the troublemakers and to let the peaceful protestors be. It actually is that easy because organizers almost always knows who the troublemakers are and would share that info with the police. But the police isn't interested. I suspect that is because by and large they love riots just as much as the rioters.
I just started using ChromeOS to see if it can support developer workflow, and boy am I blown away. Fantastic UX

You get Debian 10 in a WSL style. Finally have dual touchscreens working 100%

Just realized my first experience with Linux was the achievement of editing xorg.conf so that dual screens would work at all (2002). Ironically, my first and last Linux desktop experiences where dual screen.

Unless of course Windows starts running on Linux...? Do you think they are on a path to run Windows as just windows on Linux?
I used the Jetbrains suite for a year or two but I switched back to sublime last year. I have a CLI-centric workflow and I switch between 5-6 different languages, sublime is fast and I can edit whatever languages I want in the same editor. If I want a particular IDE feature there's a good chance I can Ctrl-Shift-P -> Install it with Package Control. I use pudb to debug Python, it works just fine, it lets you drop into an IPython shell too.

But I admit, I work on a weird product stitched from different languages, there's just no IDE that handles that particularly well as far as I know. If I was back to working on Python only I might switch back to PyCharm.
Regardless, it doesn't make sense to brutalize looters. They did this shit during hurricane katrina too - people stuffed into a stadium desperate for aid, people trapped on roofs, and the national guard comes in guns ablaze against looters. It's madness to put "property rights" over human lives.

Oh well, the liquor store is getting looted. Sucks that you can't deal with that because there are protests because you are murdering black people. Fix the bigger problem before worrying about property.
If it maintained following distance (or at least tried to) we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Preventing others from interfering should count, no? So our most recent case is 1 murderer and 3 accessories to, at the very least.
I put this question in LinkedIn several months ago, am still yet to hear even a single attempt at claiming a real business model/profitability.

You can introduce a second argument but that’s not what I was responding to. This nationalist surge will make America weaker, poorer and dumber over time. So you want to help Americans, help others in the world. Let them come hear, help them build their local economy and engage in trade. Want to hurt Americans, build walls, shut borders, trigger a reverse brain drain.

Who cares whether part of the reason to help is self interest, it can at the same time be motivated by compassion. Let’s help each other. We will be stronger for it.
I mean there are braille displays which are intended to be read with your fingers.

Hopefully the norimaki taste display, will soon be followed by the kimchi odorphone.
I find it very funny that all of my nerd friends are all suddenly using an archaic German note-taking system.

I started a simple system myself after reading the thread about them here a few weeks ago, and I have to say that it's already been useful. It reduces the lookup times from O(all of the internet) to O(just my notes).
You're absolutely correct, that is the dominant hyperparameter for a tool like this. If every word was hyperlinked, it would be nonsense. The good news is we don't need to analyze and forecast what the optimum is, we just need to ride the bike and learn to balance.
@aws_ls I wanted to surface this answer to a question about burnout answered by genedangelo. I is on page 2 here but I think it is relevant to what you are asking.

> genedangelo 1 day ago

> The one thing that comes to mind is to avoid the "hammer looking for a nail" syndrome. I see this all the time, especially in academia. Rather than worry about learning all the latest stuff, concentrate on solving the problem at hand in the simplest and most effective manner. If that requires you to learn new things, then that's a great time to expand your repertoire - working on a specific problem. Of course you have to strike a balance, but mainly concentrate on solving problems rather than being up-to-date on all the latest stuff and trying to find the proverbial nail for your new hammer.

Additionally, I am in a coder in my 50s and I have to say I am not going through any kind of mid life crisis in programming!

Like genedangelo, I just focus on problems that need to get solved and I really don't care how I solved it as long as I use a great tool that is meant for that job.

Super happy to learn a new tech if it makes sense for the problem.

There was a phase a few years ago where folks were using node.js to build all kinds of websites, including content heavy text based sites that would be better served as static html or dynmaic Ruby, PHP etc.

I think that's the classic mistake of a hammer looking for a nail and I can imagine it was really unsatisfying to build those kinds of sites with that kind of tech and might even contribute to burnout (just speculating).
You know as well as I do that there are alternatives to a contemporary legal system that are not a bunch of roving warlords. The current system is not the only system that can possibly work.
> He was only arrested and charged because of the protests.

I have a feeling that would have happened regardless. Do you have a source that shows there wasn't an intent to charge him before the protests?
Well but it sounds like the way we started is to take all of those lessons and chuck them out the window! Don't fly airliners, but I fly a trusty Cirrus with plenty of "advanced" avionics. The fact is that during the pillot training so much of your focus is on the failure points of the automation and how to recover. How we're building this into cars makes that an almost impossibility. The domain certainly makes it challenging, and it may prove to ultimately be impossible with current tech, but the analogy to me is like we're selling "autopilot" in cars in the same way we'd sell CAT III landing equipment in an airliner if what were powering that CAT III automation was your DIY Stratus.
That would be very unusual for the US, to allow immigration to a large number of individuals who don't need state handouts.
I don't think Khan Academy or 3brown1blue are a replacement for upper level math and physics courses. Khan seems to stop at calculus/statistics and not dive into any of the proof based math. I'm not sure on 3brown1blue since I haven't watched very much of him.
Nostromo, I'm the CEO of Nickelodeon, and I want to thank you for sharing this. I've directed my team of animators to re-work their characters to better match reality. The people shooting at you in real life should be in Paw Patrol too!
That's what the government says, but not what they actually do. Here in Hong Kong, police fires tear gas directly into people's (tiny) apartment just for opening the window to take a peek outside.
I’m surprised they had that many stylists — most of this could be done by AI and a handful of tastemakers.

Unless by stylist they also mean customer care, which they probably do as this article mentions hiring 2k people in lower cost US cities.

> The landlord can cancel this “option” reasonably easily so it is quite different from selling a call.

Theoretically in a rent controlled market the landlord can't cancel the call option. In practice they might be able to by jumping through some (expensive) hoops, but it should be a reasonable approximation still.

I'm not quite sure what sf/Cali law looks like so I am just taking in generalities about rent controlled markets.
See, that's exactly what I am talking about, you will do anything to rationalize away anything that doesnt fit your world view. And you will keep arguing over points dealing with how much melanin we have in our skin instead of actually talking about the issue of police brutality.

But you really dont want that do you. It makes me wonder if you have some other agenda. Are you using this as a power move to gain political capital on some other set of ideas? Do you just want to see the world burn so you encourage ideas of separation and avoid talking about solutions?
Don't forget breakpoints! Learn how to move around in the debugger, it will be a LIFESAVER.

Above a troublesome line of code, drop this line:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

And run it as normally. Now you can explore. Drop into the function, step forward, go up. You just need to learn to move around. With pdb you can really explore what's going on.
This is not a cure-all. I started one, and much like a todo list, it stressed me out to look at the pile of cards.
In this case, the police are the counter protest, I guess.

That is not an answer to my argument - that the Government says one thing so we're compliant, and then does another when it suits it.
i would say it is short term gain, but longer term police and businesses will just leave black neighborhoods leaving them even more broken and poverty stricken, meanwhile the politicians will keep them on welfare and drugs to bring in the vote

not a happy cycle
About 5 years ago I got a cold or flu while travelling. I flew home (3 hour flight) when my head was at its worst, eyes wouldn't stop watering, blocked up nose, sore throat.

When we came into land my left ear didn't pop and I went completely deaf in my left ear. I was so freaked out by it. If I snapped my fingers next to my left ear I couldn't hear it at all. Doctor told me to not worry, it will come back, asked me to go see him if it wasn't normal again after 1 month.

About 2 weeks later I was sitting at work and out of no where i had this weird sensation in my left ear and in a few seconds it was like a increasing rush of air followed by a popping sound and my hearing was back, I was shocked I stood up in the office and was like "MY HEARING IS BACK!", I was so happy.

Even tho I could ear from my right ear, it was a horrible experience. I couldn't imagine permanently losing any sensory be it hearing, taste, vision, smell, touch. I wouldn't wish the experience on anyone.
I was concerned about that too, but I believe Macs at least guarantee tag syncing between other Macs. I may experiment with putting tags on the first line, but for now, I’ll have to rely on folders and my summarizations.

I may just settle for org-mode if I end up doing a PhD because, as the top commenters pointed out, Zettelkasten is meant to be a system to link ideas within the humanities.

However, I’m focused on my professional life right now. Most of my reading material is quantitative, so my current system is fine.

Just some starter insight to reading about police violence. Police in US use disproportionate force compared to any other country.
Another interesting stats though a little old:

http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/leoka/2013/tables/table...
Relatively minor issue ? There are store owners defending their property who are being brutally beaten to near-death by "protestors". Residences containing children are being set on fire by "protestors".

No, these are not 'minor' quibbles that should be skipped over.
I just looked at the first date I saw on the youtube page, ha, sorry.
All the marketing drones in this thread excusing their actions because 'abandoned cart turnover is real' make me sick. Thats all. I have nothing else to add. Shame on you and your shady employers.
> Preventing others from interfering should count, no?

Sure, but that's not what you asked.

I believe the other three will be charged and convicted. At least that what I hope will happen.

I'm thinking of a similar approach with text files and collections of other file types like pdfs, images, etc as you note.

For tags, there are some packages for tagging I've come across like TMSU [1], taggo [2], dantalian [3]

I'm thinking of tagging by just having a tags folder with a txt file for each tag. You could just stick the path to files you want to "tag" in there. Then if desired, have a script to create a bunch of symlinks for a browsable tag file structure. Maybe even have some custom grep code to find specific keywords in my notes and "tag" them automatically

This reminds me of a piece Stephen Johnson once wrote for the New York Times called "Tool for Thought", which described his process using DEVONthink software.

(https://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/30/books/review/tool-for-tho...)

"The raw material the software relies on is an archive of my writings and notes, plus a few thousand choice quotes from books I have read over the past decade: an archive, in other words, of all my old ideas, and the ideas that have influenced me[...]Consider how I used the tool in writing my last book, which revolved around the latest developments in brain science. I would write a paragraph that addressed the human brain's remarkable facility for interpreting facial expressions. I'd then plug that paragraph into the software, and ask it to find other, similar passages in my archive. Instantly, a list of quotes would be returned: some on the neural architecture that triggers facial expressions, others on the evolutionary history of the smile, still others that dealt with the expressiveness of our near relatives, the chimpanzees. Invariably, one or two of these would trigger a new association in my head -- I'd forgotten about the chimpanzee connection -- and I'd select that quote, and ask the software to find a new batch of documents similar to it. Before long a larger idea had taken shape in my head, built out of the trail of associations the machine had assembled for me."

That process eventually turned into a startup around 2010 I helped found in NYC. Good times.

Well yeah, if all of the protestors are armed, the police realize they can't escalate the situation and get away with it.
Many people find certain opinions of JP’s fall beyond the spectrum of reasonably debatable points of view, and cross the line into the unacceptable. You may disagree on whether JP is too extreme to be part of reasonable discourse, but everyone has a line somewhere. I would find it distracting if the article randomly showed a screenshot of quotes from Chairman Mao, and regardless of the rest of the article, it would unavoidably have some influence on my perception of the author. That’s an extreme example chosen because it is broadly relatable to most people on HN, but I’m sure there are far less controversial people than Mao that you would think are over the line of good taste for inclusion in such a blog post. It should be understandable that for some people JP is over their line.
I had the worst cold I've experienced in a decade or more. Absolute loss of energy. Terrible aches; temperature all over the place. This was followed by two months of bronchitis that is still ongoing and failed to respond to two different kinds of antibiotics (the implication being that it's not bacterial). I never got tested because testing was not easy to get in early March; serologies aren't being done yet where I live. I'm so curious: did I have _IT_?
The bail funds have tens of millions now.
Hands on the steering wheel doesn't mean affirmative control. That's why the example includes putting the car in an unrecoverable scenario faster than an attentive person can react.

That's cool!
Also, the cloud cover predictions vary extremely between different sources.
My alma mater had programs designed to help researchers bridge the gap, you might see if yours or a partner institution does.

You might consider self studying some of the startup literature. It may not seem relevant on the surface, but much like academia, they are teaching you how to solve the problems on the business side, which is actually really similar to iterative research, just a very different domain that research folk usually find uncomfortable at first.

I've been thinking about this more lately, lots more thought. Feel free to email me, address is in the profile

Use a system that lets you add tags to your notes for quick indexing.
They do not. They have high availability systems and error correction/ledger balancing mechanisms. For e.g., a system partitioned by account numbers, generally works very well since the number of updates to an individual account is low and most of the updates are batched for end of day processing.
Yes, that is the one, thank you

> The data does show the average Tesla driver with AP is about 10x less likely to have an accident, and less likely to die or be injured in an accident if they do have one, than the average overall driver. So if a driver is going to make a terrible choice to be distracted or inattentive while driving, I’d rather they did it in a Tesla with AP enabled

Do you have a source for those statistics? The last time I saw Autopilot safety statistics, they were all very misleading - e.g. comparing "autopilot on" miles [mostly highway] to all miles drive in the US, or comparing pre-autopilot Teslas to post-autopilot Teslas (the pre-Autopilot Teslas didn't even have basic AEB, which is now standard on even entry-level cars), stuff like that
It's unfortunate that the terms "front-end" and "back-end" are so overloaded. In this case I thought they meant a compiler backend, but that doesn't make much sense in context because the "backend" would be that which targets WASM itself, which is not new. And then some might think they meant it in the web sense; i.e. something running on a server. But it sounds like there is actually yet another sense of the term, in the context of ML.
