Advice like this is good for applications that place a high value on stability and quality, which aren't deployed frequently, and which are monolithic (or rather, which are deployed monolithically--microservices that are deployed all at once are less a problem as it pertains to testing).

However, the further your application deviates from these invariants, the less good this advice becomes. And there are good reasons to deviate--many applications exist in a business context in which production bugs are often not a very big deal (e.g., social networks); however, the ability to iterate rapidly (especially the ability to test new features, etc rapidly) is paramount. In these contexts, it's entirely appropriate to trade off the ability to test in advance in exchange for the ability to iterate more rapidly--this includes things like moving to a microservice deployment cadence (different components deployed at different times to elide expensive cross-team deployment coordination moments). Microservices are harder to test to the same confidence interval because it's hard to fix the versions of all of the different components in order to assure reproducible tests, and the value of doing so is diminished because in practice any given combination of versions is likely short-lived since one or more components will be redeployed in a matter of hours or even minutes. Of course, unit testing and integration testing are still valuable in these contexts, but they aren't as valuable as they are in other contexts, so testing in prod (coupled with the ability to quickly fix bugs) is necessary to make up the difference.

So like everything in software development, "it depends".
Yes, of course. I think for a while we have been careful in maintaining compatibility with VMware's virtualization, though lately it is largely unnecessary (due to improvements in the VM software).

I think that if that worked it would prove that either language is a much more powerful tool than we realize, or our cognitive capacities are much more trivial than we realize.

The model fundamentally has no understanding of the world, so if it can successfully argue about a central thesis without simply selecting pre-existing fragments, then it would suggest that the statistical relations between words capture directly our reasoning about the world.

What's odd to me is that - why is it just one group in the Netherlands doing this? vs. interest in other academic or industrial groups?

Vs. say FinFETs or other groundbreaking tech - I remember Intel coming out with the paper however many decades ago and fast forward a few years later, TSMC and Samsung came out with their own products utilizing it.
that made sense while UK was in the EU now amazon may opt to move more operations/warehousing to the rest of the EU to cater for the larger market of the two. either way it doesn't mean UK will not be receiving the same products as before, just in smaller quantities to cover UK-only demand.

>This smells like a god of the gaps or argument from ignorance type of argument to me

huh? Are you saying that 'we don't know how subjective experience works' is a argument from ignorance?

>All we would have to do is digitize your brain and swap out the responsible part, then you can form a memory of that, swap the original back in and do a comparison.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean. What is 'the responsible part' and what would swapping it out achieve? I'm still only going to have my subjective experience.

> It’s not because of limited choices. But it’s the other way around. There are so many note-taking apps you could try but end up sticking to none. At least, that’s my story. It’s a perfect example of the paradox of choice.

Either this is not a good example of the paradox of choice, or as I am more inclined to believe, the paradox of choice is mostly bunk.

While I don't discount that some consumers may be frustrated at times by an abundance of choice and may naively think their life would be better with fewer choices, I don't think reality would bear that out. Maybe easier in the moment of the choice, but less satisfactory in the experience of the outcome of that choice. I know my life would be measurably less enjoyable with fewer choices in all walks of life: fewer food options, fewer cities and towns to live in, fewer computer manufacturers, and yes, fewer note-taking apps. Fewer apps would not make the apps better. It would only remove some of the options that are satisfying niche needs for other people. It's a bit elitist to say there should be fewer of any category, because it implies that the subtlety of preference felt by others is unimportant.

Choice is the consumer side of the innovation process. If anything, the non-satisfaction with note-taking applications shows that more exploration, more innovation, and yes, more choices are in fact needed. Technology still has a ways to go before we have a robust approximation of the free-flowing paper and pencil note-taking, augmented seamlessly by the computer. We see where we're heading with things like OneNote, but we're still generations of innovation away.
A long time ago I was working on a sentence generator. I end up studying sentence's composition and part of speech. As I was having trouble to find a free API that would let me consult the POS of a given word, I end up hacking this one together.
When you make a post to the only end point (up to 10 messages) it will return the POS of that word PLUS a suggested word with the same POS.

let me know if you find this useful.

p.s.: I'll will keep this up until my server can handle the requests. I don't believe many people would use this, but if they do, I'll have to figure something else.

> Someone suggested to not play for writing

This is not correct nowadays (it was surely so 15+ years ago, very roughly before the introduction of walking simulators and/or the expansion of the indie market).

Regardless, games that are strongly centered on narrative (writing) don't require a huge investment, so I think you'll mostly (or even exclusively) find them in the indie area; action/RPG games also are not the best in this department.

I suggest to start with "What remains of Edith Finch" - you won't be disappointed, assuming you don't necessarily look for action/RPGs.

> Would you call Microsoft Visual Studio an app? Probably not.

Yes. Visual Studio Code is a good example of a high-quality web app built by front-end developers.

'App' is a shortening of 'Application' popularised by iOS.

The state of the art in UI Engineering, is everything that used to be done in C++, but on the web/cross-platform using a mixture of JavaScript and WebAssembly.

Anyway, my point is that you are shitting on front-end development, yet there are front-end engineers out there developing high-quality software, and it is difficult: it requires a lot more ability than just copy-pasting from W3 Schools.
Ah ha, thank you.
I would guess the Swiss population is generally more educated on average compared to the American public, which to be fair is easier to achieve with a population of 9M vs 328M. A sufficiently educated public is a requirement for a more direct democracy to have desirable results.

America really needs an education system overhaul, teachers are often paid close to fast food restaurant staff levels of wages.

Exactly what I was thinking, but I think that a/b test "feature" is mostly framed (and thus used?) for BI purposes as opposed to "let's see if this breaks".

Don't get me wrong, where I work they definitely are open to making mistakes in production. We roll out "risky" new features with split tests and I think we use that logic well so this notion obviously exists, but I'm not sure how widespread it is.

I got sick in march with covid-like symptoms but could not get tested.
I have also experienced being out of breath when climbing stairs or walking. I also started to worry and attribute other symptoms like headache to this, but then realized that :

- I spent 3 months at home without going out much

- I'm wearing a mask everytime I go out and I noticed that masks make breating harder

- I did not move much for 3 months and worked at home. This is significantly less than my usual 30 minutes of walk + 1h of transports + climbing stairs 4 times a day

- Only seeing the world through the news has a big negative psychological effect on me

Now it is just my humble experience. I am certainly not saying that people does not have symptoms and I only am one dot of incomplete data.

I just want to say that if you got sick and then experienced long terms effects, please don't forget about the radical life-style changes that you are experiencing before attributing everything to the virus.

Understanding this helped me to rebalance my daily routine and get and feel better.

I believe Xeon vs Epyc is more to do with the fact that migration from Xeon to Epyc is a disruptive process both at the hypervisor and guest level. Server hard ware changes today is

Install new host -> Migrate VM;s live to new host ->
Shutdown old host

Zero Downtime

This is simply not possible with a Xeon to Epyc Migration which requires downtime, as well as testing of the guest to ensure nothing weird happens

it is a prime example of Vendor Lockin.

IF there was away to live migrate with zero downtime Epyc would own the datacenter today
There is a mistake in the screenshots: filesystem view doesn't show `mod.rs`.

To all others struggling with Rust's module system, it may seem unnatural if you're coming from another language (like python), but once you finally understand how it's wired it will be as simple as python's.

Consider `mod.rs` like `__init__.py`, with the added benefit of being capable of renaming and choosing when to expose internal module components.
Yes, we collect sense data, process it and then respond to it, but we also have a subjective experience. We 'see an image in our minds' as part of processing it, but why and how? Something like the 'The taste of wine' isn't a response, but a subjective feeling. Why do we have a subjective experience of pain instead of reacting to it?

To be honest though, if you're actually interested in discussing this your comment really isn't conductive to fruitful discussion (especially the part denigrating philosophers). If not, why even respond?
Generally, it was the intended targets of those drones who decided to hide among children. Meaning, usually, in areas with children nearby.

I really struggle with the sort of obsessive compulsive behaviour that makes curating a personal knowledge base a meaningful and useful exercise. Nevertheless I did it for years using a Mac OS only suite of apps from DevonThink. Then my ancient MacPro died and I switched to Linux.

Meanwhile the web dev in my circle of friends set up a bare instance of discourse on some cloud VPS somewhere (it was intended to be an escape from Facebook) and it's turned out to be great.

I see you didn't mention Markdown. My solution for the last couple of years to this problem is to have all my notes organized into folder and .md files. A couple of advantages:
- I can move around different IDEs/apps since there are a lot of different solutions for every platform there.
- Same goes for search and links between folders. Rely on git for version control of the files themselves.
- It gives you the flexibility of using plugins to turn into PDF or host as a gitbook private site for example.

Knowledge base organization gets discussed frequently on HN. I understand your frustration though, I've always longed to see a one fit for all platforms though. Onenote sure shows a lot of potential but is probably limited by the fact that MS wants to keep it as close to their office suite as possible.

In the general sense, is out-of-distribution learning even possible?

The best you are likely going to get is robustness wrt different environments, but the environments have to come from the same Meta-Distribution. Invariant risk minimization is an interesting research area in that direction, there is for example an adversarial formulation that seems quite elegant. I have never tried this, but I can imagine it is tricky to get to converge.
There are "smart notebooks" that make it relatively easy to send your handwritten notes to the cloud. The problem is that, at least when I checked a couple of years ago, they had no OCR, and only uploaded images to which you could attach a name, so they are not especially helpful when it comes to search.

I hope in a few years, with good OCR, they will be a good solution for those of us stuck in this dilemma.
Right. For what it's worth, at least some of these delays are configurable in Armageddon ("Hot-Seat Time" and "Retreat Time").

There is a spicy game mode in Armageddon called Paranoia (https://worms2d.info/Paranoia), in which these delays, plus the turn duration, are all set to zero, meaning players have exactly one frame to make their move. As you can imagine it is very hectic!

I suspect that's meant to be rhetorical, but from a business perspective, was stable good enough? Sometimes what works now won't be competitive in the near future.

Just another opinion on the balanced note taking method:

I think org-mode solves almost all offline note-taking requirements

* org-roam makes it super-easy to link notes

* emacs as an editor is as usable as any other editor

* Rich media is possible and easy to do in org-mode. Attach a snapshot, embed a video file

* Code with documentation is a feature not available in most other note taking methods/apps. It's possible to run code snippets and add comments, documentation about them in the same space

* Latex support is advanced. Inline equations work seamlessly

* Search support is advanced

Drawbacks:

* One of the main drawbacks is that all your notes end up offline. This was a deal-breaker for me. ox-hugo helps in publishing your notes to a (private) static site where it can be searched, viewed but not edited on the fly

* Publishing through ox-hugo is separate from maintaining a backup/sync of your notes in /org/ format. You'll have to do this separately through Dropbox/GDrive/etc

* A backup of your org notes is not usable until you set up your emacs environment and download all your notes
Always wondered if this was defeated by ensuring the entire page uses maximum yellow color edge-to-edge with 0 margin.

The background wouold have to be full saturation yellow, and your text would have to be full saturation green or orange to ensure yellow is printed where text or monochrome images is printed (unless it's impossible to detect yellow dots mixed with black ink).

> Innovation is an awful word because it means different things to different people.

The word innovation is awesome at dedicating when someone is speaking bullshit.

When someone says the word innovation I assume they are a politician, marketer, salesperson, or in public relations. This causes me to listen to what they are saying more critically because I assume they as a professional attempt to persuade or influence people.

I recommend not taking notes usually. Unless you're in a class or lecture, I'm not sure I see why you're taking notes. If you're learning a new technology you should be documenting that for use as you go. If you're writing code you should be adding notes to your code and readme. If you're troubleshooting, the details should be in the ticket. I'm not against note taking by any measure, but I don't see the function of it in a day to day workflow.

I used it for a long time - really liked how no frills it is, but the fact that notes aren't stored encrypted in the cloud (by design) was a deal-breaker for me in the end. I use the notes as a brain backup and they're absolutely unfiltered thoughts, which need to be stored securely. In the end I switched to standard notes, which has functioned perfectly well for me since then (a bit over a year I think).
