> For thousands of years the farm was the producer of civilization and culture.

The producer of "civilization and culture"? In what sense? Farms produce the goods we eat, how does that lead to culture and civilization? I'm not that knowledgeable at history - if that is the case, then I'd really like to read more about it.

> Today, on the other hand, it has been reduced to a factory

Given your previous assertions about farms losing their status as cultural hotspots, I bet you hate Andy Warhol :)

It seems really odd to me to say they are "worth many millions of pounds". Are there really people out there willing to make a sacrifice of many millions just to own these notebooks? And does that mean they were on the market all along? I find that really difficult to believe. We used to say things like this are priceless.
What sort of output would it need to produce to achieve that?
Hey man, I'm using the xps with 64 Gigs.
Good luck with yours. It's a great laptop, but I can't wait for my m1 air with 16 gigs, because for mobility, I'm missing the outrageous stability that macos and Apples hardware are delivering.
I'll keep the xps as a daily driver for work (wsl 2 and vscode are just unmet in apples ecosystem), but for the couch, conferences, trains etc., it's going to be the mba 100% of the time. Are you transitioning to windows?
I think GPT-3 answer ? is pretty good. For me an answer is as good as the question. If you reach the ultimate question the ultimate answers reveals itself. I liken it to maha ati, trungpa and rigdzin shikpo explain:

"The ground of samsara and nirvana, the beginning and end of both confusion and realization, the nature of universal shunyata and of all apparent phenomena, more fundamental even than the trikaya because it is free from bias toward enlightenment, is the alaya, some-times called the pure or original mind. Although' prajna sees in it no basis for such concepts as different as-pects, yet three fundamental aspects of complete openness, natural perfection, and absolute spontaneity are distinguished by upaya as useful devices.
Complete openess.

All aspects of every phenomenon are completely clear and lucid. The whole universe is open and unobstructed, everything mutually interpenetrating. Since all things are naked, clear, and free from obscurations, there is nothing to attain or to realize. The nature of things naturally appears and is naturally present in time-transcending awareness. The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions and to all people, experiencing everything totally without mental reservations and blockages, so that one never withdraws or centralizes onto oneself. This produces a tremendous energy which is usually locked up in the processes of mental evasion and generally running away from life experiences. Clarity of awareness may in its initial stages be unpleasant or fear inspiring. If so, then one should open oneself completely to the pain or the fear and welcome it. In this way the barriers created by one's own habitual emotional reactions and prejudices are broken down. When performing the meditation practice one should get the feeling of opening oneself out completely to the whole universe with absolute simplicity and nakedness of mind, ridding oneself of all "protecting" barriers. Don't mentally split in two when meditating, one part of the mind watching the other like a cat watching a mouse. One should realize that one does not meditate in order to go deeply into oneself and withdraw from the world."
> Obsidian is closed source

Should be noted that the Core-Application is closed Source. The plugins are at the moment open source, or at least source available. I think the long term goal is to build on a rich plugin-ecosystem with a sleak core.

Also closed source doesn't really matter in this case, because it's build on open data-formats and running local. There is no vendor lockin. If the app disappears some day, you can still continue to use it or use a different markdown-editor (which are already existing today).

Well, at some point you stop caring about blame and want results. If the game is rigged against you, the smart move is to stop playing.

Which is obviously what developers have done, I haven't yet met someone running Linux directly on a Mac.
Ditto, but with z-wave devices instead. What makes you think CHIP is the next standard thats up for mass adoption when there is a bunch of competition in this space, with the likes of Sidewalk from Amazon or Thread which I think is what Apple are rolling out to the homekit enabled devices?
On the other hand, how much sense does it make to keep overloading the same finite set of ~50 symbols? And while the admonition to stick to convention is a good general rule, there are both places where there exists conflicting conventions as well as areas where no convention exist at all.

As for the criticism that emoji can't be handwritten or pronounced: show me anyone doing a proper xi, and ask the greek what they think of how foreigners pronounce their letters (or indeed how one pronounces bold face letters). Clearly these are problems that have been solved before, and so can be solved again to the same level of quality.

Further, when handwriting you really have far more freedom than when typesetting, I had a friend that taught me the useful shorthand of just drawing a sphere to indicate that the surface integral was over a sphere. I tend to name partial results things like boxes or triangles when I work out because lugging around a second or even third "a" is just not as clear. Importantly, it's also much more fun to call your partial integral "small house" than "iii".

All that being said, the example choices in the article seem like straight up bad choices: naming the sides of a triangle a specific direction seems unhelpful in the fairly common case of several triangles with opposite orientation for example.
Unfortunately, if they say something that the powers that be don't like or approve of, then they will interpret it as "Foreing Interference"
Specifically it's trained to, when given some text from the internet (presumed to mostly have been written by a human), predict what comes next (there's a lot of details of exactly how you express this mathematically, but that's the basic summary). This is the objective function it is optimised to maximise while it is being trained, how close did the prediction match the actual text which came next.

This is done mostly because it's very easy to get a huge amount of data and score its performance numerically on that data without any manual process of deciding what the correct answer is. It turns out given enough data and a large enough network, it becomes very good at it, even to human eyes.

Unnecessarily detailed nitpick: Data uses contractions throughout the dialogue of TNG -- there is just one episode ("Datalore" it might have been?) where they decide to make it a plot point that he doesn't use them as a way of having the rest of the bridge crew figure out that he's been replaced by his evil twin who can use contractions.

I'm pretty sure the plot point (and the ban on Data using contractions) doesn't even get a mention again in the rest of the series.
I have one like that. It was written by interns. One day I swear I will be able to get rid of it!
Oh, I didn't mean to imply they work in the sense that they result in better allocation of resources. That I do not know. It's probably a balance problem, for example modern Germany has strong unions and does not experience much shit show because of that. I just meant they're effective at redirecting the capital from capital owners to workers.

Also, yes, the 70s took it over the edge and then we've had 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s all very capital friendly. What will the 20s show? Again, no idea.

This is important to remember when "planning your stock market returns" - do include the 40s-70s period in your analysis! Things are sometimes very very different.

> And I was countering that argument by saying that a large alphabet (a large set of pictograms) is hard to learn or at least takes a lot time, as can be seen from trying to learn Chinese or oher asian scripts.

And my counter to that is that the same way you do not learn greek in order to use some greek characters in math, the same way you do not learn chinese in order to use some chinese characters in math.

There are cases where "Δ" read as "delta" makes perfect sense for the delta between two values. Whereas "η" read as "eta" is not a obvious synonym for efficiency, or for the coefficient of viscosity, or for the metric tensor in Quantum Field Theory. And "c" read as "c" is not an obvious synonym for speed of light, or for 100, or for the space of convergent sequences. But "光" read as "Guāng"(chinese) or "hikari"(japanese) or "light"(english) might be obvious for something related to light. You do not need to learn the original pronunciation of the character to use it. Just have a 1 to 1 mapping between notation and notion. Same way Chinese and Japanese have completely incompatible pronunciations for the same characters.

And even better, just use words instead of characters.

This could be the known issue[0] with how Next.js does Server Side Rendering with getServerSideProps(). It calls this on every page transition, even client side. Often resulting in unnecessary loading of initial data.

The nationalism in these comments isn’t surprising. But it is disappointing.

I’m a huge fan of Noteplan since Noteplan 2017 I think it was. Then got the iOS version and used Setapp’s Mac included version for V2.

I don’t have subscription fatigue yet however money is a bit tight. So I was on the fence since being native is so amazing. Seeing the latest change log mention Setapp inclusion coming was the best news for me. Can’t wait!

Loving the trial of Noteplan 3.
Any country that tries to pull back from the rest of the world will suffer in comparison.

Well, China has greatly benefited from doing exactly that. They greatly regulate and control foreign influence while they exert their influence every where they can. India is a big rival and they have been funding everything from the Naxalites (the underground Indian communist organization) to mainstream parties, organizations, media, universities... whatever they can which gives them political advantage.

I was wondering how it compares to Syncthing[0], which I currently use to sync files between my phone and PC.

It looks like the main difference is that Recall doesn't require you to install anything on the receiving device. You can just install Recall on your phone, and then download files via a web page. So basically you get the privacy of Syncthing with the convenience of Dropbox. That's really cool!

This is deal breaker for me and lots of security conscious professionals. I have foreseen this "Apple goal" in the past and the only thing thats keeping me to use MacOS is Little Snitch and Mullvad VPN combination. Sadly in Linux world there is no commercially viable option for access rules per app basis and I don't understand why. I don't have answer for another question: As a business I learned from Apple that keeping tight security and protecting your intellectual property is big thing. How on earth big business is complicit in this telemetry approach from Microsoft, Google and Apple? If you are business captured metadata is enough to know important metrics about your company and this may work against you in the long term. Thats why I am against cloud based apps (like Figma), and I am furious with Sketch for not providing collaboration solution and bragging about "Mac Only" approach.

From personal experience, most Indians in the tech space are conservative-leaning. I don't network a lot, but I do talk to people enough to know that "liberal" in the western sense is a very rare viewpoint in this industry.

Maybe true in glorious future where the industrialized farm can support increased biodiversity. Currently, however, this promotes large-scale monoculture. Which is inherently harmful on almost every level, including the ability to keep the cost of food down and and the supply up.

Food diversity is much much less than it was 100 years ago. Nutritional content of food is down significant levels from 30 years ago.
My point though is that people would be willing to leave if those issues were addressed. (I.e., they would agree that saving the planet is beneficial in long term, and all that stops them is insufficient information and distrust.) No need to force anyone.
It is stupid those are called "no-kill" eggs. Still plenty of killing/suffering involved. Just stop eating eggs people. It's not that hard.

Amazon and Apple are both members of the CHIP working group. As far as I know, CHIP uses Thread as one of it's protocols (the other being a BLE derivative). Sidewalk uses WiFi, which is not very efficient for low-powered devices (eg. sensors, switch etc.)
Italy, as you know, has been the first western country to be impacted by COVID-19.

After the first lockdown, with the re-opening, the italian government (and most EU country) introduced restrictions for all restaurants and pubs, with mandatory contact-tracing of all their guests, in order do prevent another wave of the pandemic.

We soon noticed that the vast majority of them were still relying on pen and paper as the main solution for their contact tracing.

So we decided to challenge ourselves with a mini-hackaton. After 3 days of working heads down we built the MVP of Eatalo.

We then went out door to door to all the local restaurants in our area to "promote" the service. The results were encouraging, with a high adoption rate and great early feedbacks, which allowed us to iterate and finally make the product better. It took us 2 weeks of hard work to build the final app now we are ready to launch it worldwide!
Food Allergy – Information Drawer
But the transaction fee is not 1% if you are a professional. It’s now higher, but there was a time you could easily get closer to 0.05% with some effort and nontrivial but not huge volume.

Iirc, last I checked, bitmex cost 0.075% to take liquidity, and paid 0.025 to give liquidity (which should be noted, is more than a tick - so, market making on bitmex is free money in an unpredictable market - which has made it technically expensive)

INET had a similar incentive structure before they were bought by Nasdaq, as did BATS when it started - it’s a common way to jumpstart liquidity in a new exchange.

Robinhood and IB will let you trade for free today (with other hidden and hard to quantify costs related to their order flow transactions instead)

So there’s no general solution - the details keep changing - but there’s likely a way to make nice profit of 0.1%.
I guess it is the same scenario with art pieces or similar products. EG, the Leonardo Da Vinci painting Salvator Mundi was sold for $450M back in 2017, where is the justification for this pricing?

Android phones are build on managed code, but PC computers are built on C/C++ mostly (almost all productivity apps, browsers, games, the operating system itself). And the only GC code most people run is garbage collected on apple too - it's Java Script on the web.

I'm not familiar with MacOs, are the apps there mostly managed code? Even if they were and even if refcounting on Mac is that much faster than refounting on PC - refcounted code would still lose to manual memory management on average.

> The philosopher in me doesn't mean to be snarky, but what the author concedes here is that APIs actually aren't like user interfaces. Because when we're talking about UIs, there are most definitely "ways of doing things" and "ways of not doing things"

There are definitly things you should not do, but there hardly is a list ot things you always should do. There is just no gold list of thing in UI, just customs and established conventions to enforce the "intuitive level" of interactions.

But even between different platforms you have strictly different conventions, sometimes even competing with each other. Yet most of them are good on their own and it's wrong to use one of them.

> after 50-odd years of user interfaces, we ended up with scrollbars and buttons and tabs for a reason.

Yet wie have working interfaces without scrollsbars, buttons and tabs, even where they could be used, and some cases where using them even makes the interaction worse.

UI is more a kind or prioritylist of things you can add, not a checklist of things you should add.
I'd imagine that the security implications for non-wifi devices are somewhat less than for wifi-enabled devices. ZigBee devices do not "phone home" over the internet, and in addition to that are not able to download and upgrade their own firmware without a supporting internet-connected gateway/bridge device. Most of the risk comes from the attack surface that the gateway/bridge provides, or from attackers having physical access to individual devices (eg. by obtaining keys from the device's memory). As for ZigBee gateway/bridge devices, in most cases you can replace it with an open source solution that gives you more control (eg. Home Assistant + a Conbee USB stick)

If it does, we should also ask if that strong argument continues to hold on a 50-year plus time-line.
Yeah, but swapping suddenly isn't as big problem as before (probably). You had to be very careful not to hit trashing on x86_64, now you don't have to worry so much.

Or that's how I understand this, I don't actually own M1 Mac.
That's true for anniversaries. Some things happens every month too. "I get paid on the 29th". "The bill is due on the 1st".

ISO-8601 does indeed put the month before the day, but it puts the year before the month too. The problem people have with the American format is that it's mixed. Y-m-d makes a lot of sense, but d-m-Y kind of does too. m/d/Y is just weird and it's literally the only country in the world to do it.
The country has become nationalistic to a nonsensical degree. I’ve met multiple people who have refused to use PayTM because they think it is Chinese.

I think the only cost is not the body count. One must look to the displaced populations, affects of the drop of GDP, etc. And how one thing led to another and in the end gave rise to (or at least provided the dirt to grow for) IS, etc.
I don't follow your argument, can you make it clearer? Also "subjective reasoning" isn't a meaningful thing to accuse me of. If you want to say I'm wrong just say that!

I am referring to the ones who appear on TV in finance/market-related programs, but I can't stand economists-speak. They love to ambiguate everything they said a minute ago. I don't mean that they bloat everything with technical terms -- somethings are just complicated. Rather, simply voicing opposite claims constantly and avoiding giving a straight answer (for the sake of protection from getting sued? manipulation?).

Example: "I think that a meteor bigger than the Sun is on its way to hit the Earth could be bad news for the economy. However, it may also mean that markets will flourish."
