That's not just a popular opinion, it might be the general consensus for the last 20+ years. That's why articles about people still using Tcl or even just people liking Tcl have so much novelty value. Tcl created a language niche that Perl/Python/Ruby quickly took over. It was all downhill for Tcl from that point on, for all the reasons you mentioned.

It was really cool for a little while though- I have fond memories of using it for a couple years in the mid '90s, but I would never go back to it once I moved on. Also, at the time I remember thinking Tk (Tcl's GUI toolkit) looked mostly modern and nice, maybe even more modern and nice than other GUI toolkits common on Unix systems at the time (Athena widgets, Motif, OpenView, etc.). As ancient and bizarre as it might look nowadays, back then it looked halfway decent if not outright OK. I don't know what Tk looks like now but I have to think it's not that different from 20+ years ago, with the weird autolayout/resizing policies and everything. Tk was a huge draw then but probably not so much now.
Quick to anger is the 1st thing that comes to mind. "The Detroit 10" - (e.g. if you're not doing 10 over the speed limit some are happy to run you off the road). Lot's of focus on your family history defining your destiny (e.g. "oh. He's a so-and-so they've always had money and power..."). More conservative than the PNW the last time I was there (admittedly, 10 years ago). This was my wife's take as well (she's a native to the PNW).
Alarm bells should be ringing about this. If they can breach the blood brain barrier with viruses, imagine what they can do with contaminated food, gas, and drink.
This pricing model is weird. I'm not sure where it comes from, but isn't Uber's model (a per-minute rate PLUS a per-mile rate) clearly easier to understand for everyone?
While not high rises, Venice IT provides a glimpse at how well buildings do submerged in ankle deep water.

That said many steel + cladding high rises built on silt rely on deeply buried steel pilons that reach below the water line and into granite, so there is that.

I'm in none of those zip codes and I've visited numerous places that were not there.

Unfortunately, I could not find the large dog run on a map. I know where it is and the signs call it out if you are there.

Different places have a different culture. It all kind of depends on what you're in to. For example, I know some people who love the Traverse City area and some others who have been there for a bit and are ready to move. That's an area worth looking at.

If you want to be close to things and like urban-ish then there is Ann Arbor. The train to Chicago goes right through town. The express ways also make it easy to get to a lot of places as fast as you can in Michigan. While it's about as urban as it gets in Michigan you can also get out of it pretty quickly into the outdoors.

Michigan has a fair amount of variety. That's why people can have such different experiences.

I visited my parents the other day. On the drive down their street I passed a couple dozen wild turkeys. While I was at their house an 8 point buck walked through the back yard. The deer there know it's safe enough that you can be outside, reading, and drinking a coffee and the deer wont run off.

It's a different pace of life where I am at. Not every place is like that.

I can't ignore the irony here that you complain about straw-manning of the OP by cherry-picking the only negative comment in spite of the 99% of commentary in favor.

Edit: I also can't ignore that the plaint of pervasive "echo chamber hyperbole" is juxtaposed with statements like these:

I hope the EPA does a survey to find and count the barrels and find out how many of them still contain waste. Then vacuum them all up and process the waste carefully.
I couldn't tell if you were joking, but that video has comment that sums it up:

"...Most physicists working on unification are trying to create a quantum version of general relativity, informed by the list of particles in the standard model of physics. Weinstein believes we should instead start with the basic geometric tools of general relativity and work at extending the equations in mathematically natural ways, without worrying whether they fit with the observable universe. Once you have such equations in hand, you can try to match them up with reality. At the heart of Weinstein’s theory is the “observerse”, a 14-dimensional space that contains our familiar four-dimensional world (three dimensions of space plus one of time). The extra dimensions arise naturally by extending the mathematics of the original four, which appear in general relativity as the diagonal entries in a four-by-four matrix, he says.
The mathematical symmetries of the resulting equations predict three families, or generations, of particles, just as described by the standard model, though the third generation belongs in a different framework in Weinstein’s theory.
His work also predicts new, as yet undiscovered particles, along with mirror images of all of these particles. This group of particles could account for dark matter, the mysterious stuff thought to make up about 80 per cent of matter in the universe.

I hope that helps..."

Ultimately this is just more information in the cloud which you failed to back up.

Karl has said publicly a few times that he sees optogenetics as a tool for basic scientific discovery, that then inform treatment of human patients, ie where to use transcranial magnetic stimulation. Any method that requires genetic manipulation in humans will be tricky. PNS seems likely to be the first application in humans, although there are also clinical trials going in the retina, not sure how they’ve progressed though.
Do you have a point of comparison with another site you'd like it to look more like? I think it looks fine.

The website looks fantastic. What framework are you using for the front-end? How did you design it?
It's under pretty heavy development and there is certainly some scope creep, but it's never impacted my core usage.

At least for me right now full text search, no lock in, good phone support and sync that works is all I need to build a good note taking habit.

IMO the value that you get from going from not taking notes to taking notes is much bigger than the value jump you get if you go from taking unstructured notes to structured notes .
How else could they do it? All systems I've seen that have relied on files on a file system use the file name as the "primary key"

I believe you can use journalling to detect file name change events but I don't think it scales well
Well education is a performance art, as I'm sure you know. Reading the crowd, encouraging discussion, providing motivation -- these are more about the student and their frames of mind / moods / personalities than about the material itself. It's analogous to the difference between a professionally cooked meal versus a glass of Soylent: both provide nutrients, but the professionally cooked meal is more enjoyable to consume.

No bears in the Ann Arbor area sadly. You have to go a bit north to get bears. But those areas are easily reached via car. My parents for example live 3 hours away (220-ish miles) and they get a couple of bears a year bumming around.
Banning youtube-dl won’t accomplish much.

I can simply record my screen with audio (for example using QuickTime Player) and save that as a video. I do that as a last resort if video download software doesn’t work. This method can never be stopped. If I can see it and hear it, then I can record it, with close to perfect quality. And it will get even easier with more user friendly tools.

Sorry, technology wins.

The NYP story was blocked by Twitter and Facebook immediately upon publication. Why wasn't the "losers and suckers" story likewise blocked until it was verified?

Both stories had no external verification upon publication. One was blocked immediately. The other never was.

> The "losers and suckers" story was independently verified by NYT, WaPo, and AP.

One can't "independently" verify a story based purely on anonymous sources. Can you link these alleged verifications?

> But the NYPost has not been verified by anyone, nor they did seek verification, nor did they even ask Biden for comment, because they know the story is bullshit.

Not true. The NYP story cited sources, and these sources have seen been verified, for example by the NYT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/22/us/politics/hunter-biden-...

Your comment that they never asked Biden to comment is likewise untrue. This would be plainly ridiculous: all we'd need to know if a story is true is to see if they asked for a comment from the subject. In fact, plenty of untrue stories ask for these comments. Why wouldn't they? Do they want to make it obvious they are false?

A very privileged perspective. Most of the world still counts their pennies, and the surcharges on non-cash monetary transactions make a sizeable, noticeable dent if pointed out to them. It's a tough balance they have to navigate.

Though I'm extremely privileged now myself, I'm not so far removed that I have forgotten those days when down-to-the-penny accounting mattered. In the US at least, if you had the right education (which sadly many lack), you can live amazingly inexpensively by forgoing many societal conventions and expectations.
Using a screen recorder like shadowplay or obs also doesn't seem like it would be out of the realm of possibility.

It is to have people have the time they went out and the place they are staying at written (or on an app actually) so it can be checked during controls.

If it wasn't mandatory, people could stay out all night and go wherever they wanted provided they were bringing a dog with them.
> For example, I'm using it with org-capture to track sleep data straight into the table, which results in a table row for each day (with an auto-generated timestamp).

I'm curious how one would do that. Would you mind sharing your capture template?
Because we don't have a system where you can vote our conscience. Instead we have a system where we are shamed into voting for the one we think can win. And who wants to vote for the lesser of two evils (in some cases), it just isn't that passion-inducing.

If we really want more American's to vote we will prioritize Ranked Choice Voting/RCV (or better (https://ncase.me/ballot/)) ASAP, with vote verification.

We want to make every voter feel and know that their vote counts. And we will also do that with a fully auditable. open source voting system with a paper trail.

This needs to be done at the local level en mass first. Then move up to state and then federal level.

Neat, I didn't know about -fwhole-program as an alternative to -flto for single-file builds. It should help with compile times a little bit (though I normally only use LTO for release builds, rarely during development, so it's not a big deal either way). With MSVC I think you still have to use LTO (or LTCG as it's called there) to get this effect.
I’m not too familiar with infrared neuromodulation, but it isn’t a widely used technique in systems neuroscience. My guess is it would be hard to target individual neurons, let alone target a genetically defined population of cells. Heating is usually what causes damage from light stimulation, so we try to minimize heating as much as possible—the brain very tightly controls temperature
Caltech and MIT sounds like an interesting example: They are both extremely highly ranked (systematically among the top 5 in the world) and engineering/science focused.

Considering their ranking I would be willing to bet their applicant pool might significantly overlap (seeing as they attract world wide talent).

I read a part of the article, but I'm confused. How is this different than making all our internal servers public and using okta or auth0 for sign in?

I wouldn't do that because any of those servers could have a security vulnerability that we're not aware of, so I feel like this must protect against that somehow, but I'm just not fully understanding what it does.
I've been to both Delhi (more accurately, Gurgaon) and Bangalore on business assignments. I don't mean to sound unfairly harsh, but it's difficult for me to imagine a city that basically feels like it's constantly trying to kill you become a center of startup activity, for the simple reason that once one becomes wealthy enough to invest in startups one would want to leave the city for a better quality of life.

The air quality and pollution problems in Delhi are like nothing I have ever experienced. When I was there (granted, it was exceptionally poor air quality even for Delhi at that time) I could not see the sun at midday due to the smog - I couldn't see more than 100 feet due to the smog. I felt like Blade Runner could have been filmed in Gurgaon - a post apocalyptic world with giant buildings but a dire lack of accessible green space. Even if there were much green space, I couldn't spend much time outside because every breath tasted like acrid metal.

I'm not saying San Francisco and Silicon Valley are some utopias either - they obviously have a slew of social ills (often debated on HN). But I have never realized how much I have taken for granted being able to breath clean air, and I really hope Delhi is able to clean up its pollution problems, but until it does I can't see it becoming a truly globally competitive startup center.

It’d be nice if something like this was built atop unison.
I've been using org mode since 2015 and for a majority of that time I didn't really customize anything besides some more TODO labels. I've changed my layout several times too as I've changed projects or roles. Since it's just text I'd just start with using headings+folding and todos. Even just that is better than a text file. You can pick up more things as you find some friction in your organization process and wonder if there's a different way to do something. I eventually found that tags didn't work much for me but properties were very useful along with a handful of capture templates.
And the alternative is...?
Did you read the letter? There's only one sentence there that's submitted under penalty of perjury and it's obviously true.

This was not a DMCA 512 notice.
Did that change after the case (quite some years ago) a girl was abducted on her way home and the abductor wanted to ransom her but the underground room he built to hold her hostage was poorly ventilated and she died of CO poisoning and at least for a time some people became somewhat more concerned about their kids roaming freely?

Sometimes freak events have an oversized effect on people. In the US people used to park their baby strollers outside stores while they went shopping. One day, I think in the mid 50s, on Long Island, I believe, a family’s sleeping toddler in a stroller/pram was abducted and scared everyone from leaving their kids unattended in a stroller.

If you do get the chance to take the train, I recommend it. My wife likes Chicago and since we're in Ann Arbor we go about once a year. I refuse to drive to Chicago because it just makes me mad, so we take the train. Hop on in Ann Arbor, we bring some snacks. I spend three hours reading/surfing the web, then we get to downtown Chicago. I'm not angry and tired so we can go out and enjoy the evening or activity.

I think the US is an outlier there though, being a relatively low-trust society and somehow really fixated on threats, real or imaginary, especislly when it comes to children. But I guess helicopter parenting is a rather recent phenomenon even there; historically children above ten years or do were widely regarded as ”small adults” and expected to take care of themselves, help in all sorts of chores, and often to go to work as well.

Again the science (brain science, sensors, and em netowrks) probably need to be done to do this

We 10000000% need more monitoring of vectors like this. Viruses et all need to be constantly monitored for public safety. Sure we probably do it in wastewater but thats terribly imprecise and a stupid high LOD. Wonder if there are automated jigs that do this in waste water.
8 vs 11 is too small a sample size to say either way. It may very well be that a couple of these startups succeeded due to their business model / luck / sector / whatever which wouldn't apply to the next startup.

If it were 0 vs 11, that would mean something, but 8 vs 11 is too close.

Instead of counting unicorns, we should count the number of successful exits, such as acquisitions. Or, second best, the number of companies that reached (say) series C funding.

> You would be creating a mirror of yourself on the computer, it wouldn't be you.

It's possible that the new you would believe you are still you, even though you would be a separate new you. I think what we're really touching upon here is that it starts to go against our belief that we are exceptionally special. And of course we are -- we don't really know any better. But maybe it simply doesn't matter and it would be good enough. Think of it like going to sleep -- how do you really know, beyond theoretical doubt, that you're still "you" when you wake up?

I'm simply here to provide a perspective perhaps not often considered. More for sparking additional thinking on the subject than anything else. I too believe we're super duper special unique snowflakes ;)
Siri is always mistaken. Alexa is pretty good.
But the trick is to put a crap lock around both something that can be copyrighted but is unimportant and things that cannot be copyrighted.
