Hi :)

I just pushed this (very) small project. It's a note taking cli python program, which will works (at least) on python 2.4, 2.7 and 3.9.

It's heavily inspired by inc[0], that I discovered in this post[1] (that was posted to hn a few months ago[2], thanks hn :)).

The goal here is to store knowledge using simple txt files. If you provide a name to the cli, the txt will be saved under "name.txt", and if you keep it blank, it will save a file named after today's date (%Y-%m-%d.txt). You can search for content, and it will be sorted by last accessed first. The "date in the name" thing is cool (from my pov) because I may remember a concept or something by it's date.

I also spent way too much time writing the help.

I don't think Edge is advisable. It doesn't offer end to end encryption for all categories of synced data, its session ID persists across reboots and is hardware-based and their start page connects to approx. two million things.

Including of course the standard of having search suggestions on and sent to a privacy unfriendly vendor.

It's an amazing browser, probably just the best one atm if you don't care about privacy, but for privacy it's far from ideal.
I had a RTO of August 2021. Mandated vaccine in an exchange for no masks (among other things, such as getting to remain employed). Well they reneged on the no mask rule. I can't undo my vaccine, so I'm working from home until they can provide a safe work environment.
You have never seen an alcoholic chug liquor like its water I take it? Long term alcoholics, talking decades+ here not youthful overindulgence, become incredibly tolerant and can consume huge amounts in ways that would make a normal person wretch. These are people who have altered their body chemistry enough that withdrawal is deadly.
Apple is only "pro-consumer" when the person paying for that stance isn't Apple. When Apple is footing the bill, they are quite happy to be as anti-consumer as they think they cam get away with.

If Apple's approach to billing is something consumers value and are willing to pay for, then consumers will choose to keep using Apple payment methods. Perhaps some consumers would like to pay 25% less and are fine with disputing charges when a company makes it too hard to cancel?

Also, Apple already enforces other rules when reviewing Apps, Apple could still force companies to allow easy cancelation without forcing them to use Apple for payments.

Apples' insistence of using their payments would also be less egregious if they allowed alternative app stores. As it is, Apple's stance is bad for consumer choice.
I was always told that you eliminate roughly one drink per hour from your system. So it is possible that they did that feat over a longer time span. Staying up all night drinking then hopping in the car seems much more reasonable (at least for how to achieve that BAC, and not as a decision you should make in life).
Oh yes, there's plenty of ways to avoid curse words, but each one has a cost, and if the system needs to generate ids very quickly, any scheme that works too hard could be a bottleneck. The naive way of just randomly throwing together letters of the alphabet will eventually generate a forbidden word. Any steps taken to reduce the probability should understand the time/space tradeoffs.
That's because the DHCPv6 client in the modem generates a unique DUID for itself and the new one cannot know the fried modems DUID.
> making nuclear nonviable?

Not nonviable just less viable. This power plant was already scheduled for decommissioning in 2024 so the specifics are only really relevant to it. It’s really constructing a replacement that’s non viable due to the very long time horizons involved. Back in 2018 only 2% of California’s solar was curtailed, by 2040 it might hit 30+%.

> about nuclear curtailment?

Keeping Nuclear at steady state it useful so it’s the last to be shut off. Frances nuclear was down at 70% capacity factor where US has generally stayed above 90%, but that doesn’t mean US nuclear is profitable every minute it’s operating. Solar curtailment is a sign of very low local spot electricity prices, thus even if your generating electricity during curtailment it’s likely below the average cost of production.

> no solar for half the day

Environmentally nuclear is a great nighttime source of electricity, but PG&E only care as about the economic question. As to solar, it’s displacing natural gas which can be used at night or on cloudy days. The economic break even point for solar vs natural gas is roughly 50% curtailment so these trends are going to continue.

> making nuclear unnecessary

It’s not about nuclear being needed or not as current infrastructure is needed as redundancy if nothing else. More generally PG&E is a legal monopoly with a poor reputation not some hip startup that needs publicity. Their simply not going to talk about complex topics most people on HN have trouble understanding let alone the general public.

Rewrites may not happen that often, but plenty of large-scale corporate tech projects flail for years without ever reaching a functional state.

If the choice is between a sub-optimally performant but working system, or a boondoggle that never gets off the ground, the “better engineering choice” is probably the former.
I think it was only a BGP issue. The DNS servers apparently shared the same peering routers as the rest of Facebook's infrastructure. Everyone focused on DNS because that's the first sign of failure to an end user.

You definitely want to work with it if you can. I live much of my life in python, but there hasn't never been a week, and usually not a day, in the last 10+ years where I don't write a quick awk snippet to do something useful to data.

The advantage of awk over python is that it almost always takes < 60 seconds from the point at which you say, "I want to summarize, review, filters, report" on some columnar data to the point at which you have output in front of you.

I"m fast with python doing that - but it's usually a 3-4 minute set of steps.

The only exception being json, which awk is clumsy with. (jq is my goto tool for the simple queries, python for anything that requires more than a minute of thought.)

Also - it's almost always the case that I'm using awk in conjunction with a bunch of other tools, cut/sed/uniq/grep to get what I want.
It’s definitely interesting to contrast my experience with that of my child. My parents were completely illiterate when it came to computers and electronics in general, so I basically taught myself how to take things apart and fix them when they broke, figured out how to get a modem set up to connect to the internet, etc. In some ways my experience with technology was driven by necessity as much as it was by curiosity.

Now the devices that my child uses can’t be easily taken apart and the solution when they break is to get a new one. They don’t have any reason to learn about the software internals, either, because everything “just works” as soon as they power a device on and the internet is always available.
This comment is factually inaccurate.

Roth IRA's are post-tax, that's the whole point of them. You put money in after paying tax and then you're done, when you withdraw for retirement it's tax free.

If this bill passes as written he would actually be forced to divest assets out of his Roth IRA and then pay taxes on them now. It's a really substantive change, hence the discussion.
Does it? It isn’t obvious. Especially if talking about legislation around the world.
Reminds me of HAL Laboratory (videogame developer involved with the original Super Smash Bros. and its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee) who did the same thing except with IBM.
I can still find adblockers in Google search. Google blocking those sites would rightly cause a lot of people to get angry over censorship and look for alternative search engines. I see no reason to not get angry when big corporations do things you don't agree with, it is what ultimately causes them to fall and give us alternatives.
Wow. That's all kinds of gross and shady.
I understand MMT is the increase in money supply is accompanied by an increase in taxation and by taking the money back out of the economy slows inflation.

I think the caveat is that politicians can supply money into the economy (increase their chances of re-election), but will be reluctant to raise taxes in an effective way (to not decrease their chances of reelection).
The calculus here is moral, not one of contract minutiae.
If there is no benefit to the IRA, then why are you upset?

Tax breaks exist to promote prosocial behavior. Getting people who are struggling to be able to afford to save for retirement is good for society. Giving people who made it big with a lucky gamble a benefit is just good for that individual.
The old VLSI Technology Inc (later Philips, now NXP) reference manuals for one of the first ARM processors (the one used in the Acorn Archimedes 305, 310) mentioned that the algorithm used for cache eviction was not something relatively predictable like LIFO or FIFO but essentially random. Which in theory means that if you were 'unlucky' then your program would run slower than for a luckier person etc.

I think you have a different definition of "principled" from most people.
Most normal people pass out at around .2, so the fact this person could turn a car key is crazy.
introducing vno 1.5: a build tool for Vue apps in Deno
vno is the first build tool for creating, compiling and bundling Vue projects in a Deno runtime environment. You can use the vno Command Line Interface to quickly create a new Vue project in a Deno runtime environment or you can use the vno build method to compile an existing Vue file structure into a Deno-legible .js file.

vno 1.5 now has even more features, including the ability to choose between Vue 2 or 3 when creating a new single-page application. vno also has the ability to implement Vue Router at build time, reducing development time by automatically creating routes within your application.
> As much as I loathe the "facebook is a private company that can do whatever they want" argument, I have to admit it applies here. If I owned a store, and some guy kept coming and showing customers how to not spend any money in my store, I'd kick that guy out of my store.

Saying he "came and showed" implies he was doing this on Facebook, but he was publishing a Chrome extension. This is more like McDonalds blacklisting you because, in your job as a nutritionist, you gave people strategies for reducing their fast food intake.

It's a browser extension, not Facebook itself. They banned him for showing other people how to do something on their own computers.
Not to tell you how to raise your children, but please only teach your kid if you see he likes it.

I don’t think it matters. Writing a plug-in that scrapes content, however trivial or anonymized the author thinks it might be, is cause for concern for a company like Facebook.

Likewise, automating API requests is a problem for any platform.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect these platforms to sift through the source code and intentions of every automation tool that violates these policies and sort them into good and evil categories or decide which 3rd-party data collection is allowable.
I bet processes like this are why subscriptions like gyms are starting to require your _bank account info_ rather than just a card.
I've been thinking of one that heats the water, like I used in Japan

I was thinking that, too, before I bought the $38 Amazon special referenced in other comments below. To get heated water, I'd have to run wiring and an outlet, and...oh, screw it, try it without the heat and if it's not acceptable I'll buy a better one and do the electrical work.

phhhhht, it's fine, and I'm glad I didn't go to the trouble. It's a nice-to-have, but not worth tearing apart drywall to run wiring, IMO. OTOH, if you have an outlet in a convient-to-reach location (e. g., under the toilet), then YOLO.
I think his point hinges on the assumption that the harmful chemicals are no worse than just burning oil/gas. Somehow I doubt this, but I do not know enough to confirm. I mean, is plastic the same as oil? Does it not have _worse_ additives in it?
Worth remembering that Paul Graham defended the Facebook/Instagram merger as the expected, non-malicious outcome of a healthy startup economy - see under the heading "Understand" in http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html .

I'm inclined to believe that Paul Graham understands the startup economy well, and therefore that this isn't a problem unique to regulating Facebook, this is a problem that will keep happening, in many ways, if regulators / lawmakers leave the startup economy as it is.
Interesting article. Wish I had time to try even some of those. I'm nowadays quite casual but still serious player. Have been grinding in Lichess since 2019 but played consistently since highschool (so 15 years now!). I'm bit over 1800 in rapid and around 1700 in blitz. I don't care that much about my rating but it sure feels nice to break my records every now and then. I think my biggest problem is that my work (coding) exhausts my thinking energy and I'm quite tired most of times I play so I make stupid blunders which makes me lose many many winning positions. I don't know what would help here? Lately I've just played mostly 3 minute games. It's not so serious to lose a knight or bishop there because the time factor is there always. I'm dreaming of attending the local chess club once my kids are older but until them, see you on Lichess! Boy I love chess :)
> Facebook certainly has the right to ban this extension

Why? It's a Chrome extension. They can ban the user and the extension will rot. That seems like more than enough power.

the difference is that facebook is even bad for its users (and disliked by its users). Google is alright for its users (as is, or maybe was, Amazon). I'm talking about perception of course, not reality.
It's truly incredible. 0.15% is quite drunk for a typical person and most can't stand at 0.2%. At > 0.3% people often require hospitalization. At 1% it's probably over the LD50 for an alcohol-naive person! Though it seems estimates for that value are rather fuzzy.
These bricks-and-mortar analogies don’t work at all, because you can still stand outside the cigarette shop, protest Philip Morris, and hand out flyers.

Once deplatformed, there’s no equivalent line-of-sight.
How would the Romans have pronounced 'approve', though?
I have a buddy who teaches technology to young kids.

He complains all the time about how he can't assume that kids know anything fundamental about computers.

Things such as manually saving files go above kids heads since the modern auto-save is so ubiquitous. Kids assume that all monitors are touch screen at first and will poke the screen before touching the KB&M.

File directories might as well be a magical black box. Good luck trying to get anyone to figure out how to print something if the default printer doesn't immediately work.

He wants to help, but is always shocked at how much kids simply do not know any of the primitives of a computer

Their actions are compared against their promises. They don’t reply to such accusations with “yes, we feed on disinformation and suffering”, just this week their spokespeople went on TV and confirmed their commitment to putting people before profit. They try really hard to pretend not to abuse their market share.

be wary that the initial parsing is probably going to be bespoke for your bank account csv export format. my own bank doesn't even share consistency in these exported csvs between the checking, savings, and the credit card I have with them.
A third possibility is you’re a team in a larger company, and then it could matter a lot.

I wrote a few things in what I’m pretty sure was correct, idiomatic, best-practices Python 3 and almost immediately I could see some familiar problems from my Perl days looming on the horizon, especially around testing, packaging and maintainability.

I enjoyed writing Python code and for the right kind of startup or hobby project I might use it in the future, but there is so much black-boxed weirdness in the ecosystem, so much inconsistency in paradigms, and so much temptation to “cheat” that I’d definitely think twice before committing a team to it. And I didn’t even get as far as the performance issues.

On the other hand, of course, you can opportunistically “move fast and break things” within a larger org too. But I worry that if you get too committed to Python, you will be unreasonably dependent on your lead engineers sticking around.
Exactly, no one is leaving unless something truly better comes along. Oh wait, our failed SEC and FTC let FB buy up the new and better things because they knew they couldn't compete. I'm assuming the next good thing will get sold to one of the mega companies too.

> conservative opinions

That's an interesting way to say "misinformation".
I'm sure it varies somewhat from company to company, but the general ethos was to reduce warehousing to an absolute minimum. From a corporate finance perspective, this has a bunch of benefits. Excess inventory is effectively unproductive capital. Additionally, it's costly to store and is subject to theft and damage as well. A lot of the focus on JIT came out of post-war Japan where capital was scarce and this was done out of necessity.

In some cases, an incredibly aggressive supply chain and payment schedule can actually create financing for a company. Aswath Damodaran's corporate finance class mentions one of the major alkaline battery producers as an example. At any point, they only have 2 days worth of production in inventory, and they require payment within ~7 days from clients, while their own suppliers are paid after 30 days. That means at any point, they are holding about 20 days of revenue worth of cash without paying any interest.
The larger debate is fundamentally about how policy should channel people to maximize the public good in which equitable outcomes are a crucial component.

To my mind, Social Security, pensions, 401(k)s, and the like can all play a part. My larger point about pensions specifically is that there's nothing inherently less risky in pensions from a purely accounting perspective. Actuarial tables were astonishingly precise 100 years ago, and our ability to diversify and insure risk through private markets has only grown while at the same time U.S. monetary stability has achieved undreamed of heights, even considering asset inflation. The basic dilemmas and moral hazards, meanwhile, have largely stayed the same, albeit sometimes obscured by increasing technical complexity.

The biggest part of the puzzle concerns public policy. For some reason we keep returning to tired debates about socialist vs private markets or personal freedom vs authoritarianism, like we're still picking sides in an insurgent communist revolution at the turn of the previous century. (The current debates are astonishingly similar to the ones we've had prior, such as over hourly limits, employment disability insurance, and especially Social Security.) It's ridiculous. We have a decent grasp on which basic tools work better in which contexts and why, partly because the science of economics has improved, and partly because the past century saw a large number of social experiments play out at large scales both domestically and especially globally. The immediate question isn't which singular option to chose, it's about how to mix-and-match instruments and incentives. Interactions and second-order effects are still fuzzy, and political cultures do matter, but there are so many tremendous improvements we could make before we hit that next wall.
Presumably what's meant is the tools necessary to directly access the affected systems to effect repairs. I suppose it's by analogy to this:

I found that bit of advice similarly daunting. However, in trying to understand where things go wrong in a game, you might notice patterns emerging after you've analyzed several of your own games, which should give you something concrete to work on for improvement.

At my level, that basically amounted to identifying blind spots I'm a prey to (at one point it was discovered attacks along a particular diagonal). A master, expert, or higher level class player will be concerned with entirely different things when they review their games.

When I was at Amazon in 2001 outages were done via everyone sitting at their desks on a POTS conference call. The engineers working the issue would be spread out around building at least, and the people who were actually on-call would generally be at home. Remote hands were often in a datacenter that was on the other side of continent.

The whole idea of piling everyone into a "war room" doesn't really scale anyway.

The bigger problem here was just no out of band comms.
Part of it likely has to do with the fact that alcoholics' livers are often dysfunctional, so the .02% average wouldn't necessarily apply to the types of people who can reach 1% BAC.
In some of the discords I'm in for programming as a hobby, I see people who are 10+ years below me that are far more motivated, knowledgeable, and competent that I was at that age (and some moreso than I am now).

It looks like the parent edited the context out of their post.

They were specifically calling out EPYC's extreme NUMAness, in contrast to Intel's, as the cause of their problems. That distinction has more or less been fixed since Zen 2, to the point that the NUMA considerations are basically the same between Intel and AMD (and really would be for any similar high core count design).
