Sounds similar to my current setup. Partly inspired by Bullet Journal's paper based system, it's a per "project" (basically usually a git repo) notespage, that appears and disappears with a hotkey. It also acts as a margin to center the other vim buffer when I'm only working on one file.

It functions mostly as a Todo, so if I'm in the middle of one thing and think of another thing that I want to come back to later, I can add it here. And when I'm thinking, what next? I can consult it and tick things off to feel like I'm making progress and remind me to break big tasks into smaller tasks.

As yet incomplete parts of the process are stealing some ideas from Bullet Journal and having global "pages" that I can call up, a system for copying (not moving!) issues to other places (similar to the > in bullet journals). My theory is that digital workflows err on the side of only showing you what's relevant, and you need to correct for that to a degree to see the full benefit.

I do still like "thinking" with a pen and paper though, not sure why, but then distilling that down into typed text.
I hear some scurilious dogs put the link into outline.com and often get the article text. No comments though.

Fascinating.

A year ago you people we're *screaming* that this app is nothing more then the cold red hand of the Chinese Communist Party, a mole designed to steal information of innocent american children and leak it to the dirty chinese bastards so they can rule the world (in some unspecified way).

What changed? Trump left so the insanity of your country is magically exorcised? Is the New Cold war over, done while I was looking at vaccination news? Did Hong Kong became free? Or do you not care about that anymore? No more walkouts for Hong Kong?

I really don't understand this world at all.

well if you are "right a lot" then it's easy to reap "better dividends".

it's easy to get promoted, just never introduce bugs and always know the solution to all problems and deliver it before yesterday!
I don’t see why a 25-50% speed up is a bad thing. Speeding up a language as widely used as Python by even 10% is likely to result in massive productivity gains.

I agree with you. I had used micro-emacs in the 80's and when, about 3 years back, I heard about org mode I wanted to become a big boy and start using emacs. It was a bitter struggle and for many months I regretted that I had even started down this path. But now I can do the basics and it feels much better. I know that I will be rewarded if I persist.
At least in America there's a significant special case of malicious networks: ISPs that track their customer's browsing, inject ads, or both. Being a paying customer doesn't protect against this and ESNI/ECH are neither universal nor neutral in whose sites are protected. For that matter ESNI/ECH traffic is now being blocked by the Great Firewall of China and at least one major Russian Telco.
Odd.

Sending a rover to another planet is an engineering feat. Your worry is the Chinese space agency and its staff dont know how to decontaminate?

That is properly odd of not myopic.
I think 22,000 downloads on an app only built to work out how the technology works definitely qualifies as a success.
I'm a Chinese guy and I don't like this at all. Here's some Chinese perspective:

1. The CNSA is severely underfunded in recent years, to the extent that a considerable amount of space tech graduates went directly into other more "lucrative" fields such as the IT industry.

2. This landing operation was not announced beforehand. This is a bit unusual, when compared to the past operations, e. g. the first manned space flight, where the national news network kept broadcasting the whole event. The CNSA seemed a little unconfident about it.

3. This year is the 100th anniversary for the CCP.

4. Given 1, 2 and 3, and how things work in the PRC, this Mars landing thing is more likely a "present" for the CCP anniversary, intended to strive for more funding. If the operation failed, they'd probably postpone the whole announcement till a more "proper" time, since nobody even know they tried to land the rover.

So, the current atmosphere in the CNSA may be a little tense. A failure may make them lose their already-tiny funding, and they did this (at this timing) to please the CCP in order to get more support. I respect all those engineers and scientists who made the marvel achievement, but this is not a pretty scene. And as a Chinese, I don't like it at all.
I used BPF (using _both_ of Brendan Gregg's recent books!) on our Jenkins builds recently to figure out why `TRUNCATE` statements were taking longer than I expected.

The underlying cause was that `ext4` filesystem was journalled and the `fsync`s were waiting on `jbd2_log_wait_commit`, which offcpu sampling let me pick up.

I don't think I would have been able to trace the kernel call and link it all the way back to the application call without BPF (at least I wouldn't have been able to).
Now only if tiktok would stop treating me like a bot and allow me to follow accounts on a new account I created recently
Good managers are largely similar, but bad managers are each bad in their own way (with apologies to Tolstoy).

From my good managers I have learnt the value of shielding working employees from excessive meetings and bureaucracy, and trusting people to work out their own solutions while assiting and supporting them.

However, I have learnt so much more (direcly and indirectly) from my bad managers. A couple of examples:

From the manager that everone described as "he is very good technically, ....", I had to quickly learn how to smooth relationships, negotiate with, and jointly arrive at solutions with other parts of the company after my manager would bang his fist on the table, yell about having told them the correct way to do things previously and that the current problem is all their fault before storming out of the room.

From the manager that quickly grabbed full credit for anything and everything done by his team, even when he had zero involvement, I learnt how to be more considerate in making sure I gave out appropriate credit (both internally and to clients) of the people that I worked with.
They don't choose bitcoin, dude. That is pure propaganda, spinning a handful of people doing it into some big movement. It's not real, it's not happening.
Just a small addendum: these negotiations are mostly about buying a percentage of our shares as a commitment for a serious engagement, mostly intertwined with something acqui-hired-ish.

To sell all of it, they'd have to "make an offer we can't refuse" ;)

I'd never heard of zzt before today. It appears to be a way to make text games of some sort, a la Zork I imagine? In July I will be reading the Twisty Little Passages book, and I think I may have found the software to use while going through the book.

EDIT: nope. ddg shows it does some sort of top down map with enemies etc. Closer to a 'retro Game Maker 7' or Clonk style game. That shows me for thinking I can infer what zzt is just from that page. Sounds like I'm better off with twine, inform, ren'py, or inky after all.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_manufacturing_si... - Intel has a 14nm in the EU (Ireland) and has planned a 7nm fab also - so "the EU" also plays in this space. A TSMC fab also would be good too of course but things aren't that bad.
doesnt matter how wrong or personally based the attack/criticism is. The more extreme the situation the more important it is to keep to the plan.

the lessons learned will cover all of existance as you will learn more about how people model the world, problems and solutions beyond the specifics of the problem at hand.

*if doing this drains you make a change of environment (e.g. job), however i find that the discussions you have like this change other peoples thinking more effectively, so its also how you sew the seeds of cultural change.
Nice, this is a broader way to explain the effectiveness of my CSS approach and many other approaches. IMO, Modern developers should read fewer books about tools and more books about software philosophy. It's far more important.

It's weird to think that philosophy can actually yield productivity gains... Many people think of philosophy as being the anti-thesis of productivity.

China does not want to take over Taiwan other than not having a non-US-ally close at door. Previous government of Taiwan had good relationship with China, although China didn't allow them to join WHO as an independent country, it did permit it to join WHA and WHO as a non-member state. China's trade deficit with Taiwan is tens of billions dollars every year.

It is just that US's strategy of containing China works really well with the pro-independence party in Taiwan. Anyone allowing Taiwan to be fully independent will lose power in China. It is mainly a proxy power fight between US and China. Taiwan is the most important spot in the first pearl chain containing China. China will have to make a decision either to break the chain or be contained forever. It is a interesting year, since we already have three or four wars broke out this year so far.
Actually your sandwich is made from poop.

The poop fertilized plants, the plants were harvested, some of them were turned into bread, others fed a pig, and that's what you're eating. Some of the poop decayed and was released as gases into the air, which were then recaptured by the plants, by bacteria in the roots of soybeans, and by Haber-Bosch factories (confusingly also called plants) which made synthetic fertilizer to fertilize the plants further.

You are recycling your sandwich, made from poop, into more poop.

This is the reflection on the disgusting nature of food and its link to the interdependent arising of all things. Your existence is inextricably linked to the existence of the pig and the poop. They are not separate processes; they are different focuses in the same process.
> I literally listed my experience with the app. And I didn't even create account yet.

That's not all you did. You implied they pay their employees very little, that they didn't do their research before making the switch and called the whole thing an "atrocity" which is heavy to the say the least. That's not an app review.

>Which Redmi? I'm testing on Xiaomi Mi A1. It probably works better on my Samsung S10. But then majority of people have phones closer to my Xiaomi.

I have a Redmi 8 (2019). Most people in the US have something similar to a low budget phone from 2017? I find that extremely difficult to believe. India, probably. US/UK etc? Highly unlikely.

> Because the blogpost makes it seem like there are only upsides to technology and the only downside is that it's not fit for brownfield.

Yes that is their experience so far. They wrote about it and have data to believe it. You don't have either except random anecdotal data and visions about the future.

> I had very bad experience with RN and give my opinion on tech. What's the problem?

Most of your claims don't have merit other than random anecdotal data which you are using to refuse their anecdotal data which is actually a lot less anecdotal that yours because they have many more developers and users.
I don't think this invalidates GP's point. Sure, if you don't want the seedy content, you won't see it, but it's still there and that's still a large part of how they make money.
I find it amusing how people ridicule progress because some other progress isn't being chosen by people. I'm fat and going to die early because of it. A health pill would greatly improve my life. Stop ridiculing those trying to save me, thanks.
This can’t be more horrifying
I doubt this will resonate with a lot of people because it makes me sound like a prick, but I used to share a cube with this gentleman who refused to eat his lunch anywhere but his cube. He was an Indian man, and though I like indian food well enough, I don't want my workspace to smell like any kind of food.

So, I asked my boss at the time for my own area. He said no.

That frustrated me, and I decided that the best thing to do is to grind some knowledge out of the situation. No better revenge than personal success, right? I slowly became an expert on every little makefile, shell script, Cron job, any little utility program I could get my hands on, I tried to understand it and improve it.

After a few months of this, I went to sysadmin and made a request along the lines of "I'm so-and-so, I work in DBA, I want to interview for this department, and if I I'm more knowledgeable than someone here, I'd like to challenge for that position, and I want my own workspace."

This was ~15 years ago now, it was a bit easier to get away with having one's head up one's ass back then.

Anyhow, I ended up with a role there, and 3yrs later I was the director for that department.

My cubemate never left. I'd still smell his food when I walked through that part of the building to my lunch break. I guess nobody got the last laugh, but I felt proud of myself for realizing I could improve my worth just by working hard at it and using the resources available.

Edit:

I thought of another one. Maybe six months before covid kinda jumped off, a young woman interning for me told me I don't drink enough water and challenged me to drink something like half my weight in lbs, in oz of water everyday. I've been doing it nearly every day since, and it's truly been impactful. Wish I'd done it at her age. My sleep is better, I feel more energized, and I dropped a few pounds before covid came. They came back. But nevertheless, hydration is a big deal.

Many public record requests need a notarized request and a $10 fee, in particular marriage licenses. Even getting a copy for your own personal records. $10 dollars in today's money is nothing, but in volume adds up quickly, as do notarizing fees, and the hassle of scheduling a public notary etc.

Any family member can pull your scummy Uncle's marriage certificate(s) from all 50 states, but it's gonna cost you and it's going to take more than 15 minutes, which is a pretty good hurdle to prevent mass collection of records. It's not perfect, but I haven't seen a leaked db of marriage certificates leaked online, yet.

It's not just a numbers game (though as Stalin said - quantity does have a quality all of it's own).

Life is rarely that simple - there are also sociological/societal causes plus the required surrounding infrastructure.

China has made dramatic leaps in technological capability but they still can't make a good competitive jet engine and they've been pouring resources into that for literally decades.

Even if you have the plans (and realistically they probably do) just the metallurgy alone is an absolute nightmare.

There are a handful of countries that can do it reasonably well and only a couple of companies that can do it approaching the state of the art.

General Electric and Rolls Royce (with P&W following behind) - there are a few other smaller companies and CFM International which is GE and one of the smaller companies, Safran (used to be Snecma).

That is just one area - in the long term who knows but in the mid-term China will do well to achieve equivalency in a number of areas (and in fairness they know this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_China_2025)
My issue with this comments here is, do you have any proof?
China made a rover with 6 wheels and this means it is stolen? WTF is the "round corners" issue again?

I would like to see something more real, like Patent 1234 "Mars rover with metal wheels" then show how China somwhow broke this ridiculous patent. OR show that US rover contains some super secret tech that is also present in China stuff.

As far as I know China can send his smartest people in US, EU or other countries to learn advanced stuff then bring them back in have them teach in their universities. Combine that with a large population and a hard working people that have respect for science I can easily see them getting number one in sciences and tech.

IMO, keeping things secrets is not a valid long term strategy, look at the Apple new CPU/GPU people are reverse engineering it fast. The only thing Apple can do is put tons of patents (including shit ones) and then FUD everyone with their army of lawyers.

There was a post yesterday I think about someone implementing a similar algorithm with the SpaceXs one to vertical land a virtual rocket, see is possible to implement a similar looking thing without sending a commando of guys and steal tech.

I also really like today's YouTube and I even pay for it. For me the trick is that I now use it almost exclusively to watch original content made for YouTube. And there's a ton of that stuff, from DIY garage geekouts to language instruction to cooking shows. And eating shows! One of the biggest YouTubers I follow basically just goes around eating stuff.[0]

I think YouTube is slowly becoming a major platform for original content, which of course was the original promise before it rose to fame as a copyright violator's safe haven. I love seeing people like Mark Rober[1] combine great ideas with a sense of fun and decent production quality to make this new and insanely democratic form of TV. It's also fascinating to see the production quality increase as people go from hobbyist to professional.

Of the five streaming services I pay for, YouTube feels like the best deal. And I could also just not pay for it, and deal with ads.

Oh yeah and I really like TikTok too but I only watch it about once a week because time sink.

I came across this post [1] in which the author discovers an undocumented feature in the JVM.

"Although the first stable release of Java used bytecode version 45.3, the JVM will actually accept classfiles with versions starting at 45.0. Furthermore, there’s an undocumented feature in the JVM where it parses Code attributes slightly differently when the version is 45.0 - 45.2.

In a normal classfile, the stack, locals, and code length fields of the Code attribute have lengths of 2, 2, and 4 bytes respectively, but in a pre-45.3 classfile, the JVM expects them to be 1, 1, and 2 bytes instead. Normally, this means that a pre-45.3 classfile produced by ASM will just crash when run on the JVM because the JVM encounters garbage data while parsing and rejects it.

However, if you are very careful, it is possible to construct a classfile that is valid when parsed with the 2,2,4 widths, and also valid when parsed with 1,1,2, but parses as different code in each case. This means that it is possible to craft a classfile that executes one piece of code when run on the actual JVM and displays a completely different set of fake code when viewed with reverse engineering tools"

TL;DR JVM contained an undocumented feature in the JVM where it parses Code attributes slightly differently when the version is 45.0 - 45.2. The stack, locals, and code length typically has 2,2,4 bytes rspectively; in pre-45.3 classfiles, the JVM expects them to be 1,1,2 bytes instead.

What would we do without you dang? I love that you do your best to guide HN into civil, substantive discussions.

The quality of the comments section here is what keeps me coming back. Without guidance, any site that allows comments becomes lower quality the larger it grows. My theory as to why has a few factors, but one of them has to do with a sense of community. The more people feel they are in a community, the more likely they are to make good faith interpretations of others comments and the more likely they are to consider the effect of what they're saying on others.

Thank you for doing your best to ensure that this feels as much like a community as possible!
