As said in other comments, Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book is great for this.

I'll split it into three parts. First, you want to know what the book is about and whether it's worth reading. Second, your notes should summarize the core of it, so that as soon as you glance your notes, you understand what it's about. Third, and optionally, you want to criticize the book and compare it to similar books on the topic.

Before reading: Outline the book

Find out what kind of book it is - scientific, practical, philosophical, or historical. Some books, like Flow, are usually read by people for practical reasons, but it's philosophical in writing. The difference between scientific and philosophical is that philosophy expects no prerequisite knowledge, whereas scientific is unreadable without knowledge.

If it's a practical book, your notes should be focused around what to do. If it hasn't clearly explained what to do, then it's useless.

Get an overview of the book. Reading reviews or online summaries helps. Intro is great. Simplify it into one line what it really teaches you.

Skim the table of contents. Most books summarize a chapter at the end of each chapter or beginning. Get a feel of the skeleton of the book.

By now, you've skimmed the whole book, congratulations.

If it's a good book, it will tempt you read it in detail. If it's not, don't waste any more time on it. There are lots of books worth reading.

While reading: Terms and propositions

Put aside a section of your notes as a glossary of terms. This is extra useful for scientific books, where a term is often repeated, and philosophy, where different books use the same term to mean different things. Business books can be especially frustrating without defining terms.

Every time you see a new term, write it down in the glossary. You'll know a term is important when several paragraphs and figures are written to define it. The term might act as a pillar, supporting a whole chapter at times.

Next, write down propositions. What is the book trying to explain? A good book will be extremely dense - several propositions in just a few paragraphs. Some bad self-help books might only have one per chapter. The harder books will usually be most information dense and hardest to read, and this identifies them. Read them slowly.

After reading: What's the point of the book?

If you have properly read the book, it should elevate your knowledge to the same level as the author. Now you should criticize the book. If you have nothing to criticize, it either said little, or your understanding is not good enough.

Is the book true?

Check if the book is understood properly and dispute is not contentious. If criticizing, show where the author is uninformed, misinformed, or illogical. Otherwise what she says is not false, but incomplete.

What now? How does this change you? What do you do? If the book is practical, it must be acted upon. Otherwise, it is incorrect. Ask yourself why you don't act upon it.

This last part is actually quite exhausting to do and I recommend you skip it if you're still new or if the book just wasn't that good.
I think on some level putting work into the public sphere requires letting go of how you hope it will be used. So long as there are incentives to profit off of "unethical" industries, there will be people looking to exploit those incentives. This is especially true when the published work is general-purpose enough to be reused and the barriers to use are low.

Look at Amazon's facial recognition, for instance. OpenCV and the like have existed for years but by tightly integrating with AWS, we've now unlocked brand new use cases and customer bases -- say, startups and researchers on one hand and police departments and authoritarian governments on the other. The pool of qualified developers, and by definition number of developers who might be willing to implement a facial recognition database for dissidents, goes up significantly as the technology becomes easier to use.

For a map data format, you might make life easier for people drilling wells in remote rural villages, but you might also be designing a data format for bomb strikes.
Pretty amazing how a typical visit to an optometrist hasn't changed much in decades or even a century: Snellen eye charts from the 1860s, modern phoropters from the 1920s, widely used tonometers from the 1950s. A branch of medicine can afford to stand still if we collectively resign ourselves to buying a new assistive device every year or two.
A generic plotter would seem to be a strict generalization of an autopen...
This all sounds so perverse to me. There are so many obviously brilliant people working on these things. Why aren't they doing something productive with their time? Fighting climate change, educating uneducated, feeding the unfed. All the energy and rare and bloody minerals that are being put into these radios, all the drinking water that will be forever tainted after having been used to produce the semiconductors needed for all this... was it really the best place to use it? To make the roulette wheel run a little faster? I don't understand it.

There's lots. You can do site selection (what's a good place for my cafe), neighbourhood analytics (how am I doing relative to stores near me), transportation policy (where are people going from where), public health (are people complying with a request to shelter-in-place and if not, what should we expect), detecting trends (are census demographics correlated with crime / fire / medical emergencies).

Honestly there's so much possible work here that isn't military, policing, oil/gas, or advertising.
To pick an example from the article, it's important that the simple MBTiles format exists if the OGC GeoPackage is too complicated. This way, more good can be achieved with less resources and fewer experts.
Can you give some examples of tools optimized for x86 that would run worse on ARM?

I second this, of course VS Code needed Electron which needs Node all ready for ARM https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/25998#issuecomment-637...
Also to note Edge is available on ARM. Very happy Surface Pro X user here.
Candace Owens has pretty standard viewpoints for Trump-minded people. Her main differentiator that has made her popular is that she is a black woman, so it is much harder to call her racist or sexist for stating the exact same thing that, say, a white male Trump supporter would get called racist or sexist for.

So I don't think she is an IGC in any sense.

This is not the whole story though react is kinda useless without its tools. A fair argument would be if create-react-app had so little dependencies. But i agree with you react itself is not bloated but in general the whole webtooling is.

Ish. If Facebook violate the OSM licence, then that's illegal and something could be done about that. Though the OSMF would never be able to seriously legally sue Facebook. One side has considerably more money than the other.

But if Facebook abided by the OSM licence, but did things the OSM community really didn't like, the OSM project could shun them. Not accept sponsor ship, block FB's RapiD software from making map changes, eject them as a corporate member from the foundation, etc. They'd still be able to use the data, but they'd be a persona non grata.

Absolutely not. Mapillary was an independent company. They were very friendly & helpful to the OSM community, and popular amoung OSM contributors, but they were never a "part" of OSM.org.

Yea its not going to be 40% as powerful as a 2080TI when t comes to real world performance. It might do OK in special cases.

Going from the links he posted it runs PUBG @ 40FPS and a mobile racing game at 30 FPS. Those numbers don't agree with the assertion that its as powerful as a mid-range desktop GPU.
What happens in the global market if a single person consistently has a timing advantage over every other participant(because the barrier to building a global satellite network is too high/costly for anyone else)?

While I certainly agree A13 is a fast chip, the more I've compared Geekbench scores the less convinced I am that the results can be compared between platforms.

Also first i7 chip was released in 2008. (The chip you refer to appears to be modern though, from 2018.)

To prevent any misunderstandings, I agree A13 has performance comparable to a modern laptop. I just don't think Geekbench is a right tool to measure that difference.
Hardware breakpoints are a little complicated on iOS. And patching the binary would of course only work if no other code verified the validity of the page you touched.
Whoops, I missed this! Can't wait to try it on the Galaxy Book S when I get home! :)

EDIT: Vscode arm build works GREAT, and it has WSL and SSH remote extensions too! This is fantastic.

I can move back from my x64 machine for development again! I'm using Edge, Windows Terminal, WSL and now VS Code all with native arm on Windows 10, amazing!

Now... we just need Windows 10 ARM builds that run on Raspberry Pi and how much fun is that going to be!
Fshell – Terminal Emulator App for Symbian OS
I wonder how it will affect power-hungry software like Photoshop and After Effects.

When Apple moved to Intel the unintended effect was that Adobe et al finally optimized their software for Intel CPUs to the benefit of non-Apple users. Maybe this move will just have all those graphics people switch to Windows.

The sensationalist language is pretty off putting to me.
Does this guy know what censorship means?
Publishing apps on the App Store isn't an act of free speech, which you can then pretend is denied when your app is denied.

Regardless this is still an important aggregation of Apple's conduct, sensationalism aside.
The problem I see with this idea is that it depends on either FTL travel, or on a horizon of time much larger than I would imagine. If we were discovered by a war-like civilization in one of the nearer stars today, it may well take them hundreds or thousanfs of years to get here even with a probe. Is it really a plausible threat?

> That's approaching 3000 years of human time spent for a single video on a single service

> What else could have been accomplished or learned with that 3,000 years?

A video does not become more or less of a waste of time, per person, based on how many people watch it.

You could identify a different statistic, say hours watched per person, and make a different "scale of video watching is wasteful" argument.

I used to follow this. But I later learned there's a big plateau between where note taking is a burden and where it becomes useful. If you're rereading notes and they weren't valuable, chances are that your note taking skills could use improvement.

It's a bit like touch typing - it takes substantial active effort at first.

Have you ever found yourself looping over a few pages too many times, or that a book is too difficult to digest? Or did you have to move a few chapters ahead to understand an early part of the book? This is where notes are extra useful. This is especially the case for math, science, technical books, or journals.

Some books are not suitable for note taking. Anything where the content can be summarized into powerpoint slides. Self-help or anything that's a best seller are often simplified enough for anyone to read. Story books are designed to be read without notes, and that often include historical and biographical.

What information is she giving the police in confidence, and why?

Why did the neighbors call the police, rather than a 911 service which can dispatch a perhaps more appropriate response?

What training do the police have on handling domestic violence? Why not send a counselor, who doesn't carry a gun?

What is the long-term goal - stop this specific act, or stop the long-term domestic abuse? Are the police also able to handle the latter?

Why is your wife staying with you? Is there an economic or emotional dependency which can be better addressed by, eg, a stronger social safety net and spousal abuse shelters? Is there a social stigma against her leaving? Is there social pressure for you to beat her?

Bodycams don't solve the problem of a thoroughly corrupt police system. Max Headroom's dystopia was optimistic.
Mostly I have been working on a software project called TeXnicard, which is not yet complete, but a lot of things have been done, as can be seen from the timeline view of the Fossil repository. In doing so, I have found a bug (#702472) in Ghostscript, having to do with the printobject and writeobject operators. I both reported and fixed this bug, but have received no reply from Artifex about it so far. (The patch is currently included in the TeXnicard source repository, in the file called "gspatch.txt".) I have done some other things too, such as some improvements to ZZT (such as listing the date/time in the restore game menu), but the thing I have been working on most is TeXnicard. I have not done any hardware projects, though.

Some of the other ideas listed here look like interesting ideas too, although I don't always like the implementation. (I suppose that isn't so uncommon; that is why there are many different programs and other projects for similar purposes.)

But, occasionally I have played GURPS using the internet. Before the lockdown I was not doing it on the computer, but now I am sometimes doing. Since I am the only player, I simply used a direct connection; I wrote a shell script containing a command like this one:

ts '%.s>' | tee -a send.log | nc -Clvt 12345 | ts '%.s<' | tee -a recv.log

We then coordinated the times with email, and he sent a bell to my terminal when he was ready. And then, I can just use "cat" and "sort" commands to produce a full log.
> "True capitalism has never been tried".

Not true, I think Bitcoin and specifically when used on DNM have proven to be a test-bed for Free Market Capitalism. Its no surprise the State (FBI) shuts these down and non-us affiliated exchanges, using a myriad of reasons; not least of which charging them for Anti money laundering or Know your customer infringements outside of it's Jurisdiction when the SEC and IRS cannot even come to an agreed conclusion and refuse to define Bitcoin as Money or property so it exists in a limbo state with all the drawbacks of both. They use drug prevention as a pretense but let Purdue Pharmaceutical create an opioid crisis and use the Established Medical Industry to do it and no one goes to prison.

Bitcoin is not perfect, and there are tons of scams abound, but True, Free Market Capitalism has a home: The Internet.

Bitcoin happens to be the currency of the Internet, despite not currently being anonymous or very private at its base layer. This must change, and it is as we speak, but despite those limitations it still allows for the experiments to continue.
I think Apple _will_ budge for HEY
Apple so far has shown no mercy when it came to small companies, or even with big ones (see Adobe's Flash, RIP).

With HEY, Apple is again, picking on a small company, but probably the biggest one so far. Basecamp isn't Adobe.

Apple is also probably facing an upcoming EU investigation.

So far Apple had no reason whatsoever to acknowledge indie developers' needs (in that context). But HEY is different. With HEY, Apple has a chance to get a shit load of great PR for "showing mercy" for what is widely considered and comparatively speaking, a small company.

If they let HEY off the hook, they lose a buck or two, nothing that they're going to notice, BUT, get the PR they need for whatever's coming their way from the regulators, and a ton of developers, and some of the public.
fshell was amazing (and still is!) app, and I must say it was one of the most amazing Symbian 9.x app projects, but it released a little bit late.

Also, later it enhanced by desktop app for remote access & remote shell program communication with Symbian OS devices where fshell is installed.[0,1]

fshell was like Termux in our days is.

Cool. A somewhat related self help book about that from 1960: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho-Cybernetics

Not enough proof to win the bet, so right now you're losing.
You won't like it, but the there is a sensible answer for this. Despite you not liking the stock (and other financial) markets, they do perform a useful and needed task (price discovery, reallocation of resources, reallocation and focusing of human brainpower, reallocation of capital, allowing for investment (allocation of collected capital and resources in the present for future projects, so that they can be achieved faster, and thus provide overall better output of the system)), and even speculation is also an important part of that task.

It is not needless greed (as popularized by some movies and pop culture), it is an engine of the capitalist civilisation, which has so far produced far more results (even in less obvious terms like allowing for least poverty in the world than any other time in history, because the benefits of a well-functiouning society do evidently trickle down to the the little guy, even if the most of it is collected at the top) than any other.

There is indeed some meaningless speculation in it, just like how there is corruption in all of human systems, and just how in every ecosystem there are a number of parasites, but they are there because the underlying system (capitalism) is meaningful and produces value for society.

> feeding the unfed

They do feed the unfed. The capitalist system has been able to reduce world poverty by far far more than any other system in history. Look at the stats. And well-functioning capital, labor, idea and resource circulation markets are at the very heart of that system.
