It would've been v1.8.4.

Machine is 2020 MBP 13" i7 32gb. Drag the window and you'll see white flash on the background. This complaint is pedantic for sure, just as a note. I was having issues with dragging the separators before but these don't seem to be reproducible currently, so perhaps it was specific to my machine.

Another note is that typing in Notable pushes my CPU to about 10%+ usage. It doesn't do this with Notes. Also the smoothness of typing in native Notes vs this app is quite apparently, everything seems more fluid on the native app (it seems like Notable is, at times, struggling to keep up with rendering).

Again I'll note I'm very pedantic about the native feel of apps and I very much dislike electron / non-native type apps, so take my criticisms with appropriate amounts of salt. Nice job on the app!
You can form one. Generically, it's called a political party, but there are special-interest groups like the NRA representing gun-owners, or the PTA, which represents families.

I don't think anyone is arguing there shouldn't be police unions. However, those should be reformed as open and transparent organizations which support for law-and-order, good working conditions for police officers, and similar.

Those should not be secretive organizations which support police violence, racism, protect bad cops, and sometimes engage in organized crime.

Yes. It would be natural to assume that the company was named in imitation of the established Firestone tire company (itself named for founder Harvey Firestone), but Bridgestone's Japanese founder's name means "Stone Bridge". Even more fitting, Bridgestone now owns Firestone.

I've been thinking for a while that a (sort of) mix of the two would be worthwhile.

1. Personal knowledge bases seem to be high friction (have to manually add information and requires consistency).

2. Google is leaky, you search for something, open a bunch of tabs, and then probably just close them all. What happens when you need that info again?

I was thinking that a dashboard built on top of Google search would be helpful. Something that keeps a note of what content is related to the search I made, and keeps a record / makes it easy to retrieve again later.

(Yes I know the manual effort involved in documenting what you learn is beneficial).
So that even less people will have a chance to have roof over their head? Fuck that
Looking at the news, it doesn't look that way to me. It looks like years of supporting corruption mean its time to pay the piper. Police officers are in a world of hurt right now, largely because of how police unions have acted.

Ironically, home dishwashers suck because of onerous EPA manufacturing regulations. If they weren't so terrible, people probably wouldn't use as many disposables at home.

On the other hand, washing things is always resource and energy intensive. Making dishwashers better would likely make it more environmentally friendly to use disposables than wash reusables.
But the module system doesn't ignore the directory structure. It is designed to mirror it!

Instead, the author points out that the module system ignores undeclared source files.

There are a couple of practical reasons that prevented us from automatically deriving the module tree, as part of the 2018 edition changes to the module system:

* Interaction with partial, in-progress programs. People wanted to be able to comment out `mod` declarations to temporarily exclude files from the build.

* Interaction with version control, e.g. `git stash`. Similar to the above, people want to exclude untracked files from the build when their corresponding `mod` declarations are stashed.

Notably, this is basically the same set of problems people face when using globs in their build system. Maintaining an explicit list of source files can be slightly tedious, but it avoids a lot of surprising behavior in the edge cases around removing files. Rust's list just happens to be distributed throughout the source files, rather than consolidated in a build system file.
Uhh, no. It's 14 weeks for the mother, but, granted, a few days for the father.

I started the network forensics security contest at DEFCON (separate from the wall of sheep contest that I believe is still running) and one of my favorite challenges was recovering printer traffic. The contest was a race to see who could finish X number of challenges first with each round getting harder. The last puzzle was a TCP dump of MiTM’d printer traffic. I intended for them to carve out the document data and feed it into Gutenprint, but in the name of speed they speed over to Fry’s, shoved a piece of promo paper into a printer and powered it on, then replayed the TCP traffic to the printer. Probably one of my favorite solutions. About an hour later they also did it via Gutenprint just to show they could.

> willfully misinterpreting

Often, when someone looks like they are “willfully misinterpreting” something, they are actually presenting uncomfortable implications or experiences of how a phrase is put into practice. Right or wrong, it is irritating to listen to.

Is it worth enduring your irritation in order to see if someone is meaningfully correct?

Do you think anyone will write a web-based version of Worms? Multiplayer, in the browser. It seems like it would be hugely popular.

You could even turn websites themselves into arenas to battle in. :) Imagine blowing up a hacker news comment.
> May I ask how come you are still working on the game? Out of sheer love for it?

Yes, for the game and its community. After so many years of playing the game and being part of the community, it is now an inextricable part of ourselves.

> Did you work on the "original" codebase before becoming a maintainer?

No; I started playing Worms World Party maybe around 2004. In 2006 I started writing third-party add-ons for the game, and I had been given a copy of the source code so I could continue maintaining it alongside Deadcode (David Ellsworth, the first maintainer).
I wasn't familiar with the term "attentional blink." From Wikipedia:

"The Attentional blink (AB) is a phenomenon that reflects temporal limitations in the ability to deploy visual attention. When people must identify two visual stimuli in quick succession, accuracy for the second stimulus is poor if it occurs within 200 to 500 ms of the first."
Common reasons I’ve encountered include:

- “Golden handcuffs” - $BIGCO / $RECENT_IPO accidentally pays way above market because the stock appreciated since the person was hired.

- “Benching” - $BIGCO hires an army of senior people at significantly above market rate to do work that should go to a recent grad. They can’t attract competent recent grads, and can’t retain senior engineers at market rate.

- “Resting and vesting” You did a bunch of quality innovative work, but corporate culture changed and the opportunities to pursue new projects dried up before your stock vested.

Since quality engineers get bored quickly, and most good ideas have a short shelf life, why not pitch them to management while you’re twiddling your thumbs?
> Humans Who Are Not Concentrating Are Not General Intelligences
Is that meme sarcastic? I thought it was an expression of dismay.
No, I'm saying that the notes are not encrypted from endpoint to endpoint. They are encrypted with TLS keys known to Apple in transit, and they are encrypted with storage keys known to Apple at rest in your iCloud account.

This means that Apple has the ability to decrypt them at all times without your knowledge or involvement, and can and does so via the PRISM program for US military intelligence to access the plaintext data, the same as they do for the CCP in iCloud users in China.

End to end encryption is not the same thing as transit encryption.

For the record: PRISM is not "sniffing" or any other type of bulk surveillance program that would be thwarted by TLS. It's an API/app-driven program, run by and within large tech companies, that permits the US military intelligence organizations to pull the decrypted contents of the account of anyone on the service, directly from the storage systems of those tech companies. The majority of the data that the IC processes is the result of PRISM. I encourage you to read Bart Gellman's book Dark Mirror for more information and specifics.

Risk taking, patience, dealing with loss/intentional sacrifice, and thinking ahead are skills learned in chess - things I only realized several days ago, when picking it up again as a fun mobile game without in-app purchases.

I suck at it, but by being less afraid to lose, by realizing you have to sacrifice pieces intentionally to win, I have enjoyed the game more.

It is definitely a game I would promote to my future children.

I'm starting to sense that, in most scenarios, I will no longer want to engage in text-based conversations unless I know that I'm talking with a human. I already don't like spending a lot of time arguing with a bot on Twitter, this just makes it much more likely I'll also argue with a bot on medium-length text areas (e.g., HN, FB, Whatsapp, SMS, etc.) and maybe even on long-length text areas (e.g., Medium, blogs, NYTimes or things pretending to be real newspapers, etc.)

Second, I'm curious/terrified at how future iterations of GPT-3 may impact our ability to express ourselves and form bonds with other humans. First it's text messages and comments. Then it's essays. Then it's speeches. Then it's love letters. Then it's pitches. Then it's books. Then it's movie scripts. Then it's...

TLDR; Fascinated by the technology behind making something like this work and quite worried about the implications of the technology.
That would be fun. There's actually a Worms Armageddon inspired web game written in Rust:

Arguably humans are not genuinely intelligent most of the time either.

But anyway, this can probably be fixed by making the test gamified and adversarial. The machine is considered human-level intelligent when paid testers cannot distinguish paid responders from the AI. Their payment depends on their success rates. Although one potential problem would be collusion between the testers and responders, the next step would allowing the AI access to the communication channels they would use to collude.
Because then you'd end up with a bunch of mercenaries with no loyalty to country. That's risky.

> I've become less fussed about the tools and more focused on the process

This has been my conclusion after years of trying different tools or even trying to make my own. Once I started focusing on the process I realized that not only I don't need a lot of features from a tool, I'm actually better off without any complex features.

I just use markdown, vim, and git. This specific choice of tools for me is only guided by one thing: I don't want to waste any brain cycles on figuring out / deciding how my note taking tools should behave. For someone else this could've been a Word doc and a folder structure. When you do that, then taking notes becomes as trivial as writing with pen and paper, except for the ability to edit and grep which is really all you need.

Bonus: it's ridicuously easy to work with markdown (and friends) with pandoc. I routinely convert all my markdown notes to html and use < 100 loc of ad-hoc JS to give it a decent browsing UI.
Super tangential and subjective, but I found the writing in the Mass Effect games subpar. I know a lot of people think the opposite. I've spent a fair amount of time looking for games with writing I like, but it seems to be an uphill battle. Someone suggested to not play for writing, which somewhat makes sense and has led me to do more reading, which I've been thoroughly enjoying. I replaced looking for games with looking for books and find it more rewarding. That said, for the purposes of a survey, if nothing more, what game stories did you enjoy?

To start it off, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a big deal for me (though not sure if I especially liked the story or just that it didn't get in the way), and Planescape: Torment is a favorite too (still remember the wonder with which I explored it the first time).

Perhaps, that is a better way to go about it but that just becomes a glorified notes app.
Just to clarify, I am not the original author, I'm not sure if they read HN.
I think the note taking market is due for a takeover by one of the epaper writers, like the remarkable, the Sony epaper or the onyx boox. I feel very similar to the author, at the same time I've been using my Sony epaper for reading papers and taking meeting notes which is much more convenient than using a computer. If one of these companies would come up with a good note taking app, preferably with some way of making easy cross-reference and maybe ocr for search I'd move all my notes over to handwriting again.

Well no, but actually yes.

Kind of like how you don't get requirements from talking to customers or "the business". You get requirements from demoing. If your first demo is your prod deploy, then guess what, you've just deployed a proof of concept. It's a de facto thing that just happens even if you don't plan on it. In fact it happens BECAUSE you don't plan on it.

More to this point: there are many different kinds of tests and what we are most commonly referring to is "regression tests". There are lots of bugs that are not due to regressions.
Regardless of any political situation, it's a rather stark lack of imagination when one can not realize that there are people who are doing things entirely legal and reasonable that absolutely require privacy from the state for their own safety and success, such as labor leaders, political organizers, civil rights leaders, reporters researching state corruption, war crimes, or human rights abuses by the state itself, et c.

You may have some luck with Wine or CrossOver. Unfortunately we don't currently test on macOS.

I'm on a 2014 MBP and I can indeed reproduce this issue with the last version of the app, that indeed is one of the few things Electron makes harder on the developer to remove, but I think there might be ways to fix that, I'll look into it.

> Another note is that typing in Notable pushes my CPU to about 10%+ usage.

That might be harder to fix, although on my 6yo machine I can see similar numbers when writing inside Notes as well, maybe they fixed it in Catalina or Big Sur. I can't really see any difference in smoothness, are you using an external high refresh rate display perhaps?

> Again I'll note I'm very pedantic about the native feel of apps and I very much dislike electron / non-native type apps, so take my criticisms with appropriate amounts of salt. Nice job on the app!

I know how some people have almost an ideological stance on this, don't worry about it.

Buses are often called "pullman" in Italy. For long time I thought it was because the pull men (and women) along the road, but instead it appears there are named after some George Pullman.

Also in Italy, the loop highway around Rome is known as GRA, which stands for "Grande Raccordo Anulare" ("Big Annular Highway"), but that is just a backronym: originally it is also the surname of Eugenio Gra, the engineer who designed it.
100% agree. People now use “innovate” and “invent” interchangeably. Typically they use the fancier sounding one because they want to impress people with their long words. They are not interchangeable though. Invention is the initial spark to the first version. Innovation is the polishing process of the next n versions. The iPhone 1 is an invention, and every iPhone after that is an innovation.

Now, the iPhone 1 didn’t do very much, and often there is far more value in the innovation than there was in the original invention. But you don’t get the innovation without first inventing something that didn’t previously exist.

Sadly, using words incorrectly swaps into thoughts, and affects reasoning. Because these words have been conflated, organizations are typically no longer able to reason about invention and innovation correctly, and are uninterested in inventing as a result. I would argue we see this in the lack of new underlying technological inventions after the 90s. It is like we have eaten our own seed corn. Very sad.
