Argh I can't tell you how glad I am to find this!

I love Dropbox paper and use it everyday for my notes, and wanted to bring our team on to it and replace Confluence just for its simplicity. But then there's Dropboxes cost which doesn't make sense when we're talking about a simple markdown editor.

I'm so tired of using Confluence for our internal documentation but that cost was just too prohibitive.

I'd even toyed around with making our own Paper clone but priorities dictated otherwise.

So glad to have found this and the product looks fantastic.

Couple of Questions if I can:
- best way of porting Confluence spaces across to Outline?
- any plans to bring in team permissions etc?
- what does the road map for the product look like?

Amazing work well done
Yeah I love Replit and Glitch (not used the others) but I still think there's something missing. They don't feel like standards that are easy and simple to use. Two more points:

Sure; but (IMHO) I think the code names provide an visible and fun reminder that this operating is a operating system for hackers, and this is a tiny bit of personality from that ethos baked into the system.

Debian labels itself the 'universal operating system', and makes no aspirations to cater to the lowest common denominator of users.
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet - this adjacent project sells a complete unit utilizing this software. As far as I can tell it's just a raspberry pi with an ADC/DAC hat, in a metal enclosure, and some sort of cloud configuration interface. They also publish the details and the pi image if you want to build your own, and subscribe to their cloud plans.

Lucky for you that politics doesn’t have any direct influence on your life, but in the US having a semi-functional government during the Covid pandemic would have led to a lot fewer deaths and a lot less economic damage.

As far as I know, not anymore.
Everything these days seems to be politicised, but politics isn't so much the problem, it's the tribalism that it generates and why you were probably brought up to never talk about politics, sport or religion in a social setting.

Great "Classics" list. I have read most in the past, but this is a very interesting list to go through again (even if it takes 2 years).
Thank you (both Shane Sherman and bribri) for bringing this to my/our attention.
The whole sentiment of this article just comes off a little whiny to me. Nowadays there is so much more information available for learning how to code and set up your dev environment. There are literally coding books for kids at book stores. And StackOverflow!

When I was younger, one had to search high and low on the net trying to find help using shitty dial-up service. Then, you'd end up in some IRC channel asking for help and someone simply says 'RTFM!'
There's quite a cottage industry of SIEMS that wrap ELK, so I'm curious how this'll shake out...

I do empathize with the desire to safely open their code for all/most users and their attempt to use SSPL to do it. For Graphistry, we ended up going proprietary for our core GPU visual analytics and went open for more generic infra and client codes, e.g., launched one of the Apache Arrow languages and our popular Python/Jupyter lib. I'm still looking forward to the day we can open our core as well (all our $B/$T partners ask us to, and yet ;-)). Encouragingly, our users are increasingly preferring the marketplace + saas versions, so I remain optimistic about an SSPL-ish license. That 90%+ of ES users go with SSPL is promising!
> So people in committed relationships, homosexuals and people above the age where pregnancy is possible?

I wasn't speaking in an absolute, because almost nothing is absolute.

I probably should have said "I also have a theory that those that don't wear condoms or use protection are significantly less likely to wear masks over the general public. And that a large percentage of the more religious are less likely to wear masks."

Since you went there, I'll try to be more concrete.

Committed relationships across any sub-group you'd like to slice = no. Homosexuals that aren't in committed relationships = yes as they would be in the general non-committed bucket. No risk of pregnancy of course but obviously STD. Above the age of pregnancy? If not committed relationship = yes. Again, still risk of STDs, in fact quite high for the age group most younger people don't want to think of as having sex.

Above the age of pregnancy would have the kicker bonus of less likely to care due to being older and cynical. Once you've seen a lot of crazy things maybe this doesn't phase you? Can't tell you how many that have been fortunate to escape cancers or other more challenging problems only to go carefree on coronavirus which they have more control over. It's an odd thing. Especially because those are higher risk and the ones that still have parents alive are in the highest risk category.

> at least one of them is certainly not letting religion inform their sexual habits.

The condoms and religion in my theory need not crossover. Although I would guess the center of that Venn diagram would skew even less likely to wear a mask.
I actually did upload something that was basically a deepfake. My account is still locked while they "verify" it. Really bizarre.
I'm working on a project that allows for advanced management and monitoring of servers and server clusters. The main goal here is modularity (but not at the cost of speed and lightweightedness), so I've been working away at getting the plugin system up and running.

Mentioned Glitch and Replit in the article - they're great and I love them but there's still something missing about relying on these platforms imho. I think cementing a default coding environment right into the browser would make it a lot more accessible - and actually be much closer to real coding where you're manipulating files and running code.

Plus: glitch/replit are quite slow to do any real coding inside of vs developing locally.

But maybe the future really is in the browser in this way.
Oh my goodness, I seriously misunderstood your intent! Yes that’s a perfectly reasonable focus. I don’t know why I breezed past AoC. Sorry for the confusion!

I said flagging is good and greying is good, the former by folk who don’t abuse it, the latter by very few. I imagine the latter would prioritize based on how much flagging any one post receives, among other things. NLP could probably be put to good use, too.

Happy New Year. Helluva start.

I definitely did not say the mods/admins should be reviewing each and every post. That’s absurd.
Thank you. Curious: is it of any practical value to you or just art?

Trying to write a IRCv3 client in Go and Vue that's backed by Electron. It's quite early on and doesn't even work yet, but I plug away at it in my spare time. I could use some help doing the Vue portion, if anyone is interested: https://github.com/kodah/girc

The idea is to have a chat client that can have panes that more resemble Discord with rich media utilizing IRCv3 tags as well as a configurable pane for more traditional terminal style views.

The motivation is that I'm not really a Matrix user. I like Freenode and that's really the only place I want to hang out. I do want a modern IRC client though, one that can grow as IRCv3 is growing. One that could potentially rival Slack, Mattermost, and Gitter while staying open source.

I made similar UI for a tool. Here is what it looked like https://vimeo.com/manage/386239513/general. Initially I had plans of making an infinite drawable layer on top of which tools resided.

This article helped to realise that there are other computer interface ideas which is better and less popular.

Idea that is stuck in my mind for a long time , and evolving, is to have A blender like 3d environment which has zoomable and rotatable 3d interface that has hardware interrupts as signals and resources as spaces. When zoomed from distance it looks like a light source, on zoom closer it starts to appear as a computer hardware parts showing date and instruction flow. (Do not worry about frame rate yet)
Historically male writers vastly outnumbered female authors. It would be hard to build a historic list like this and correct that imbalance historically.

How would you build this type of list to correct for this?

It is still a massive problem within the publishing and review space. But slowly improving... lots more that could be done for non white authors as well.
Thanks. What about the SSPL is considered discriminating against a field of endeavor?

The AGPL is OSI-approved, and as I understand it also has a requirement "that if you provide the product as a service to others, you must also publicly release any modifications". (Possibly not "as well as the source code of your management layers", but that addition doesn't seem to post any additional problems related to "restrictions of fields of endeavor", I could see a future AGPL adding it, it seems somewhat the spirit of the AGPL).

What are the parts of SSPL that differ from AGPL in a way that OSI woudln't aprpove?

(The requirement about 'fields of endeavor' can be debated and is one of the currently more debated ones in OSI, but i my memory it goes way back in time to the early days of open source, I think you can probably find Stallman arguing for it before OSI even existed, I don't think it's there for some kind of nefarious reasons inserted by OSI sponsors. But certainly one can disagree with it.)

(Here's Stallman against fields of endeavor restrictions from 2013, definitely not pre-dating OSI, but I think this does go way back, and I don't think anyone thinks Stallman's opinions are bought by corporate sponsors, and Stallman is obviously quite influential in ideas about what open source is. https://web.archive.org/web/20130509151342/https://www.gnu.o...)

There's more international political battle on HN than you'd expect. There have been a lot of flamewars about Indian politics, pursued mostly by users in India or of Indian descent. And don't get me started on the internecine warfare of the Swedes [3].

It's true that a lot of misunderstandings on HN, often bitter ones, happen because readers assume other users are American when they're not. The site is a lot more international than people assume; only about half in the U.S., and a lot of those users are immigrants or expats.

It's not that it can't be, but it is a completely different codebase from Spanner without the luxury of TrueTime and complete control over datacenters that it runs in. Cockroach simply hasn't been pushed to the same levels of performance that Spanner or Vitess are already serving, and likely a few orders of magnitude less. I look forward to seeing case studies when larger enterprises do take it that far.

you can use greasemonkey (or equivalent) to write whatever code you want on whatever page you want in the browser.
unfortunately the de facto embrace of reaganomics and welfare queen rhetoric is completely bicameral. the orthodox position is that aid flowing to people who 'don't deserve it' is a far more unthinkable sin than aid getting to almost no one at the bottom after being delayed indefinitely by a broken social support system that is deliberately designed to demoralize and humiliate people who need help.
Even about two orders of magnitude further than that, based on the work done so far.

For instance, 22.5ms latency has been achieved at a distance of 900 miles (between the middle of Kentucky and Boston) with SoundJack and this setup:

FWIW I’m very curious what you’ve come up with. I’m imagining based on your Python commentary it’s not a lisp, but that’s probably where I’d start for something like this.
I feel like this would have the result of Gell-Mann Amnesia, which is essentially what "influencers" rely on prior to sponsorship. Thing 1 was recommended, and others found the same benefits to Thing 1, so when Thing 2 is recommended it is assumed that the influencer's opinion is valid. Breaks down as soon as there is a disconnect, if people are willing to accept that their chosen influencer can be wrong, but in practice most people just go along with it.

(Throwaway because I don't want to tie my main account to the recommendation site(s) I'll bring up)

This is a great resource that I haven't discovered before - I tend to read mostly from "top lists" when I'm not reading books I've been recommended organically - I appreciate the lifetimes people have already spent separating the wheat from the chaff. Thanks for sharing.

Now, since it's on topic, and not listed in the "list of lists" on the site, I'd like to share my surprising source for book recommendations...

I don't think that the actual discussion forums are worth spending brainpower or attention on, but I've actually gotten a lot of mileage out of the wikis that the 4chan communities of /lit/ and /sci/ curate. The former (/lit/, [1]) does a yearly vote to generate a top 100, but caveat lector: 2020's vote was raided by another board. You can see the past yearly top 100s on one page of the wiki ([2]), and I've not yet had a bad experience picking a book from previous lists (2020's still has worth if you ignore obvious troll entries). Sadly, the lists are usually in the form of an image and not raw text, so it's not very accessibility-friendly. Also to note: if you want to pick a book from a specific region or genre or want to know what order to approach a new author, there are plenty of other pages on the site beyond the top 100, which have also been great resources

Lastly, /sci/'s wiki ([3]) is primarily for reference texts, which is HN's speed. The math books and the Haskell books are a solid list from what I've worked through or skimmed so far (the math suggestions are more numerous than the acclaimed "Chicago undergraduate mathematics bibliography"), but can't vouch for any other subject.

Field of Vision: Cablestreet (2019)
Roughly 1% of the cattle produced in the US are grass fed (source below). The rest are fed in feed lots and receive primarily a diet of corn and soy. The rule of thumb is that for each step you go up the food chain, an order of magnitude of biomass efficiency is lost-- that is, you have to give an animal 10 calories of feed to produce 1 calorie of meat. In beef, the caloric and protein efficiency metrics are 3%, meaning that you're feeding the cow 33x as many calories and grams of protein as you're getting out of it (source below). This is incredibly inefficient and is one of many reasons that a meat-based diet is not sustainable for a growing population and particularly a growing (global) middle class.

This was a real question FYI. I don't know what that means.

Googling "Making sure /usr/local/bin is in my $PATH" leads me here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19202007/making-sure-usr...

So I fire up the terminal and write echo $PATH and then go back to SO to see that it looks like it's all set up correctly. But why do I need to go to SO? Why do I need to fire up the terminal? It just feels too damn hard and too opaque.

I think defaults and documentation and onboarding matter. Not to mention a GUI :)

"Almost everyone thinks by talking. They don't even know what they think until they speak. So often, you'll let people speak and they become aware of some internal contradictions or maybe they shock themselves... they hear what they have to say and it's being revealed to themselves. That is often enough to change them. But even if it isn't... you want that out in the air so that people can hear it. Do you want to drive people that hate underground? We know what happens psychologically when you do that - anything you drive underground thrives. It partly thrives because it isn't allowed to express itself and then it festers and turns into hatred that far exceeds the original. The idea that you make society safe by not letting horrible people say terrible things is not a good proposition - you want those people out in the open where they can say what they have to say. First of all, so they can see what they're like. Second of all so they can see how people respond, because you don't even know what you should think, in some sense, until you watch how people respond."

The recent Digital Censorship Campaign(s) are attempts to manicure the modern social landscape, in order to identify & quell dissent impeding the more favorable cohesion that would define a progressive society.

Consider that the recent commander-in-chief curriculum vitae includes "reality TV" - this qualifies as an acting shaman we can deploy (kingmaker initiative) as part of a four year plan to draw corresponding minds out of the expansive woodwork (given permission to imitate what they are strategically being fed on their handheld screens). Behind closed doors, this operative enjoys symphonies and philosophical musings, but on camera the real work is being done. The resulting "following" is what we are all meant to see - the ones Among Us willing to betray cordial/calm/civilized mannerisms in favor of the Will of an Absolute Demigod (direct contradiction to hive-mind democracy & consensus).

We do not seek to reciprocate the harm enacted towards us. We desire corrective measures that can reintroduce the affected into a welcoming community.
