Well. The idea is a simple one, No exactly rocket science. I assume that anybody can grasp it even if just don't care about studying the metrics and full specifications manual book.

My bet is that will not work as expected and will be easily abused by humans. Based in my experience tricking the scunthorpe font in the first attempt

What really would work would be stopping overreacting about put-your-fave-letter-here words and make it boring again. The more outrage they cause, the most tempted will be people to use for fun and profit. I understand in any case that some cultures are more direct than other when communicate.
You could be right. It is certainly a compelling argument; "either scientists are in a conspiracy or complete idiots" (paraphrased). The answer is however unequivocally: we don't know. And it behooves to be a bit more humble when it comes to these things, and investigate each claim individually instead of making blanket statements about everything such.

There are several aspects one can take into account that can inspire a more nuanced approach: one is that these kind of theories is an "entry-drug" for interest in archaeology and related sciences. To get on a high horse and nip such interest in its bud is counterproductive from a scientific perspective and is reminiscent of the defensive position that many professions are taking in the open data age that has opened for masses of amateur researchers doing much better work than a tiny cadre of elite professionals could do on their own.

Another aspect of this dismissive attitude is that the notion a petrified and fact-resistant "establishment" is opening the field for all sorts of nut case Youtube channels that exploit this types of interests instead. Including the age-old nazis with their Atlantis and similar theories.

So no, let's assume that we don't know, that anything is possible. But let's also inspect the evidence for each fantastical claim with best of our knowledge.
Your solution requires compiling everything from scratch in a single executable, that is not how plugins are supposed to be designed.

We have been there before with solutions like graphics drivers for Borland's BGI library for their MS-DOS compilers. Where a driver interface is provided, and then each "plugin" registers themselves on application startup.

Adding new plugins to an existing application in this scenario requires recompilation and updating the uses/#include being used for plugins, or patch the executable from an existing .obj file.

If you are using dlopen on a third party binary instead of your own, then you are already using dynamic linking by definition, by loading third party code dynamically and revolving the proper address locations for all symbols.

Go only had static compilation on the beginning as the only true way, but it failed short exactly in this scenario, to the point that eventually plugin package came to be and dynamic compilation support is now a feature of Go's toolchain as well, although many seem to still not be aware that Go compilers can also produced dynamic libraries.

Full Time Live in Maid Dubai-The Agency Debate
The greatest itch.io marketing hack no-one taught me
Modern life is an incredible testament to the power of the profit motive. It is a supremely ironic outcome but prioritising profits is generally more effective at promoting human life than directly prioritising lives.

And people can't just choose not to face any risk. We can't possibly generate enough resources in terms of food and goods for people to live risk-free lives. Since they are going to face risk anyway, there is good reason to make sure they are facing profitable risks. It is much better to be facing a insignificant risks from nuclear power than the substantial risks of expensive electricity.

$15 a month is a ridiculous price, that's $180 a year, for a note taking App. Compare that to Photoshop + Lightroom in the photography package which are 12 Euro a month here and we can all agree offers a lot more features than roam.

The funny thing is if they would have tried to charge a one of $300 people would have called the price crazy, but buy making it a subscription it's suddenly OK. Even though $300 doesn't even correspond to 2 years of subscription (and for notes you quickly end at having to pay for >10 years)
Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind the mask order.

Sick people (according to your own words about 1/3 of them) may not know That they are sick.

So if the sick should wear masks this can only be ensured if everyone wears a mask.
Clearing Fog and Mapping Clouds
As a researcher I always appreciate to see new opportunities to organize my work and improve my routines. This system does seem interesting.

To this day though I've found that Zotero is unbeaten to keep everything organized. I collect all my notes and documents in the Zotero library, and I sync it on multiple devices by placing the Zotero files in a Dropbox folder.

In this way I can use whatever app I want to write the actual notes (MD, txt, docx, whatever). I organize the notes in Zotero "folders" and the documents of each note are stored in "sub-folders". The best thing is that these are not actual folders, so the same document, if relevant for multiple researches, can be placed in two or more folders/sub-folders etc.

This setup has worked for me for nearly 8 years, with over 50 publications and over 5000 documents in my Zotero library. And best of all, the only thing I'm actually paying for is Dropbox, which I would anyway and, IMHO, is totally worth it. But that's another story. And more importantly, to get things started one can rely on the free tier of Dropbox, so even that's free.

So as a researcher (which translates to little money to spare and high volumes of documents to manage), I find that to this date I still have to find a solution that beats my configuration. I would love though to discover new opportunities!
For the Linux kernel, things get slightly more complicated with -mgeneral-regs-only. (https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30792 / https://reviews.llvm.org/D38479).

A few drivers use floating point values/calculations. Which way are they rounded when expressions are folded at compile time? Does that match what would happen at runtime?

The x86 kernel also disables SSE generally (kernel_fpu_{begin|end} via -mno-{x87|sse|sse2|....}. This generally lowers the overhead of context switching as there's fewer registers to save+restore, nowadays the SIMD vectors on x86 are huge.

Further, it uses an 8B stack alignment, which makes it so that when FP is used, the compiler cannot select instructions that require 16B aligned operands to be loaded/stored from/to the stack.

Finally, -Ofast implies -funsafe-math. And that's not "fun safe math." Actually had folks at work use "-Ofast" because "why wouldn't I want my code to be fast?" then ask why their reciprocals were also wrong.

Controlling Mosquito Populations with Drones
Ehhhh. It might be because so many recent events have given me cause to be disappointed in people, but I don't think a massive loss of cultural memory is all that implausible. We have great numbers of people now who either don't believe vaccines are safe, or don't believe the Earth is round, or don't believe in evolution, or don't believe in anthropogenic climate change. Even as little attention as this thread is likely to get, probably someone's going to read this comment and not believe at least one of those things. The irony of not believing one of those things while reading the comment on a device built by science, over a vast technological network of other devices built by science, likely won't occur to them.

Now also think about how much of modern stuff we take for granted rests on technological principles that are totally unknown to the average person. I have no idea how a toilet works. It would probably take me years to build a working one from scratch. I read about the principle of the plumbing in a toilet, once, but I can't recall it right this minute. Toilets are among the inventions that have had the greatest positive impact on human societies, and I could do no better right this minute than dig a hole somewhere and put some dirt on top of it.

Given a strand of copper and some magnets, I could make a crude motor or generator. But I have no idea how to extrude fine copper wire, how to identify copper ore, mine it, or refine it. I know enough to make a crappy magnet out of some iron, but it would take me a hundred years to manufacture a motor and a lead-acid battery, and without modern medicine, I could hope for maybe 20 years.

I think there are plausible scenarios where something like a sufficiently destructive solar flare could do enough damage to reset the last thousand years of technological development, and in those scenarios, people would within just a generation or two stop believing that things like an internet ever existed.
You can technically have many writer agents but they will all compete for an internal sqlite mutex so it's best you serialize write access in your own code.
Do you host your entire stack on DO, or split compute and DB (and eat the latency hit)?

Yea, thats what I'm trying to point out. Tribal gift economies were not "barter economies".

Pretty insulting to those cultures to ignore their art and knowledge. Many would argue, me included, that their art was ,in many ways, superior and they possesed knowledge in subjects much deeper and nuaced than our "modern" culture posesses.

Your "18 hours a day back breaking labor" betrays an ignorance of the amount that people in many of those culutures had to work to survive.

If you think having most of the planet staring at flashing lights and working 40+ hours a week (unhappy and uncertain) to further a system that is rapidly destroying everything of true value on this planet, "advancement", then we'll just have agree to disagree.
Really glad to see people excited about this!

If anyone is wondering if this is already implemented anywhere, we're currently experimenting with it in Chrome: https://web.dev/quictransport/ -- I'd be curious to hear what people think about it.
baseline suggestion for truly passive income is invest in the stock market: do dev work for people in exchange for money --> invest the money in the stock market (e.g. low cost passive index funds) --> expect roughly 5% real return on capital invested for long term buy & hold stock investment

How Can I Tell That I Know Words Actively–The Ultimate Test of Active Vocabulary
Our farms were doing fine with underemployed locals. One article I've read indicates they simply used twice as much field labour as they had with guest workers, so the work was only half as back-breaking.
It's the difference between pets and cattle.

They are using Lightsail to create pets, it has not much configuration.
When you need a cattle, you need more config and complex setup which costs money.

As they say in the end, this is because they are a micro startup and don't need a huge scalable infrastructure.

It's funny as it seems to be the inverse of economy of scale. The more you grow, the higher the marginal cost. But I think that Amazon gives discount to large users
They lost the plans. For this particular engine type. That's not the same as losing fundamental knowledge of how the engines work, or the ability to recreate one larger.

And you have not acknowledged you misrepresented what the article said.

What is it with you types that have to feel we're failing, going backwards? I had an argument once with a guy that insisted there were compiler optimisation that aren't used any more because they are now lost - there are literally books on those opts, web articles accessible in a few clicks, probably youtube vids (in fact, see godbolt's stuff) - why are you types so set on failure and ignorance? What exactly are you thinking when you post this inaccurate and negative stuff?

Aren't there enough problems in the world without making up nonexistent ones?
This sort of historical fantasy is surprisingly rampant. From History channel pushing 'ancient astronauts' to the founder of the 1619 NYTimes project writing an article claiming African people were helping mesoamerican Aztecs build pyramids and the Olmec stone heads - predating the arrival of Columbus and the Europeans [1].

I'm always skeptical of any sort of hidden ancient advanced culture claims. The capabilities of bored humans over an extended hundreds/thousand year timescales is always underrated. Even without modern technology trading and just the night sky to be inspired by.

Same the complex earthworks and manipulations of the environment created by indigenous Americans which is the thesis of 1491 book [2]. Or even in the complex large scale network of Eel farming in by natives in South Australia which surprised the European explorers [3]. Or even how Convergent evolution works in nature.

Brownfield trade-offs; the current tool is agnostic about directory structure. There are other trade-offs: simple links/URLs, the requirement for opinionated helpers/generators, and the extra layer that is not required for notes that never add attachments. I’m just throwing ideas out there; I don’t have a horse in the race.
Why would you host a static website using s3? What's wrong with a traditional file system? You already have the load balancer.
I'm not sure whether you're confusing AWS for some specific component of AWS, or whether you're just stating that competitors exist for those techs

But for the former: AWS is a whole suite of tools -- the specified technologies (cloudfront, S3, etc) are individual (and mostly decoupled) tools within that suite
Either that or people with more serious symptoms have other things to worry about and don't notice/report it. Additional research required.
The Lightsail instance comes with 4TB/mo of free transfer. Even using a small fraction of that transfer on EC2 will cost you more than the instance itself.

Also, creating an instance on Lightsail isn't exactly a monthly commitment. You are free to delete your instance at any time and only pay for the hours you used. It's a lot more flexible than the multi-year commitment you need to make in order to get the best pricing out of EC2.
Especially in a country where 2/3rds of the adult population are overweight or obese and likely already have elevated blood pressure.

Software protection: Protecting the protection code
We have actually tried to mitigate this with our knowledge-base solution[1] by using multi-parent nesting in addition to hyperlinking + backlinks (zettelkasten).

On our platform, everything is a card (rather than a document), and if you want an actual structured hierarchy, you can nest cards inside other cards. Each card can have multiple parents, so if you are collaborating with others you can easily have the same "card" in different places to keep yourself organized. In that way it works similar to symbolic links in a filesystem, except it's nesting so there are no folders – just cards all the way down.

At the same time, because your cards are not actually siloed into different folders, we have things like the "home", which has all the cards you've ever made so that you can easily filter your entire library by tag / author / etc. and see all of those cards at once.

Unlike the OC solution, however, Supernotes is not self-hosted, and so probably isn't as appealing to a lot of the techie HN crowd.

In the end, the most optimized way to save AWS cost is to call the AWS sales guy for lunch.

I don't ask for anything but usually 2-3 days after that he'd call to inform that I got a few thousands of AWS credit.
Everyone should aspire to charge ridiculous prices for their products.

Why are you going to let Evernote tell you how much you should charge?

> The funny thing is if they would have tried to charge a one of $300 people would have called the price crazy

Funny you mention that. They have a one off $500 option and they claim to have made more money from that option than they have from their investors.
These seem mostly Intel Specific, any good optimisations for Ryzen Mobile CPUs?
If you lose half a bit on every operation and do multiple operations, that could be pretty bad. If it's half a bit at the end of a long chain of operations, that's tolerable and not worse than the precision specified by the docs for some execution environments (GPU shaders, for example)

It also matters a lot whether the error is predictable and possible to compensate for.
Sure there were war plans then and from both sides. But those in command understood what could and could not be done. Soviet soldiers knew about allies - both as force and support (food, trucks etc). It was liberation war, it is not clear would they turn weapons on allies or stupid rulers.

I mean today, when hardly any solder left alive.

The 8.3 release notes cover resident key support with compatible hardware.. I have older hardware, but I will still be likely to switch to my u2f key being primary as soon as most cloud services support them. Making sure the right library can load with ssh-agent on nixos (and having a gpg applet/key for devices that don't work with opensc) is less convenient for me than just having separate key identities at work and at home.

BSD Socket Addressing
That sounds like it applies to contributing to the source, not to users of the software, or they really want to make sure that there are few "what programming language should I use" flame wars with rules like Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.
Tanenbaum's "Computer Networks" is one big book to start with (you can also press wrinkled shirts with it, hammer in small nails, it is generally a good thing to keep around the house).
This article discusses peer (“horizontal”) learning of the technique. They distinguish this from parent-child (“vertical”) learning and older-younger non-parental (“oblique”) learning.

Certainly protection of pods is important in this case as well, but the interesting thing here is not the fact that the behavior is learned, but that it is learned from a peer. Evidently this is the first such finding in toothed whales.
If you do not get a value of $15/month from using Roam then it simply is not the right tool for you. Roam makes it easy for me to explore connections between ideas. It has a user interface that fits my way of thinking. I'm also a Office 365 subscriber but OneNote cannot replace Roam for me.

Thanks for clarification. I thought that was what you were saying originally, but better to check :-)

> Seems like big companies should be your market for any cleanup tool, not startups.

Yes. For a team getting something off the ground, a bit of dead code hanging around is not really a concern relative to the scramble to find product market fit.

> running an automated program that deletes anything that's not being called... feels iffy. Maybe a previous engineer didn't quite finish something... ideally that won't happen but I imagine it might. Maybe you could make something that lets people check off changes one by one.

Agreed. I was thinking that the service could open pull requests to the repo, one per code block. The PR would then have to be reviewed/approved before merging. It could do this as a two step process. First to add signal flares on suspect code, and then a follow-up PR to do the actual deletion.
I have recently had the pleasure of discovering a few of these people on Joe Rogan's podcast. His three hour interview format alots enough time to dive deep enough into some of these ideas to realize they transcend left vs right and address some fundamentals about who we are as a human race and what our natural and written histories can tell us about our current times and the dangerous implications of identity politics. We, as a society, censor these people at our peril.
> Employees will discover that the company didn't make the shift from rewarding attendance to rewarding output, and that remote workers are not getting promoted at an equal rate because they are less visible. Jeff Morris Jr. had a good take on this in [0]

Personally, I don't see this as a big problem. I never considered being promoted the way up in the (admittedly, just a few) companies I worked in. Mostly because I don't feel like working at the same place for a long time and because switching jobs will most likely give you a better pay too.

Obviously, this is coming from someone in his mid twenties that has only worked in 2 places and then went freelance and mostly remote for businesses in The Netherlands. So maybe people do disagree at other places.
