I read this and couldn't shake the feeling that it's a fantasy tale because it mentions the mystical Unity support engineer who actually fixes bugs - the one I haven't been able to get a hold on for the past 5 years, despite having critical bugs escalated by support... But then I noticed this is from 2016, so before they started kicking out experienced people to polish their profit margin for the IPO.

Still an amazing debugging story, though :)
It's very important to know when you're heading for bed, if that's the case. My own time window is 2-5, but I turn in at 9.
I think with time things settle down. I used obsidian for notes earlier, now I use vim and text file suits me well.
> I don't think you understand how science works

I have some understanding of how science works. The purpose remains to find plausible explanations to phenomena, explanations that show some solidity.

The same value - linked to grounds - remains valid for statements in general. This is why we refine them, in the internal "lab", where they are tried under duress of criticism. Which is scientific process.
Out of curiosity, is it possible to disable ASLR easily on Windows? It's trivial to change on Linux and that (plus Valgrind) has occasionally made obscure debugging life easier.
It's hard not to think this would be outright fraud rather than an antitrust issue to be honest. It will be interesting to see how this claim holds up.
Anytime you are burning natural gas, you are emitting CO2. Is this surprising to you? NH3 has been made in exactly this way for the past century, in the millions of tons per year, and almost all still is.

To make NH3 without natural gas, you use H2 produced electrically, typically by electrolysing water, venting O2. It also typically needs heat, also supplied electrically, and a catalyst to split the N2 double-bond so the H can worm in. There is a great deal of ongoing research improving catalysts, mostly discovering cheaper ones.

An industrial-scale hydro-powered NH3 synthesis plant is under construction in Norway. We will need hundreds more like it. Norway and Paraguay have a great deal of surplus hydro power, so NH3 synthesis is a good fit.

Small-scale NH3 synthesis using a wind turbine is also a good fit, for local use as fertilizer and farm-equipment fuel. It is a good way to use a wind turbine far from the electric grid. You bank NH3 whenever the wind blows. Tankage for surplus NH3 is cheap, and the neighbors can use as much extra of it as you can make.

As commercial security needs evolve to prioritize intelligent remote asset monitoring, the transmission of surveillance must be sufficiently secured. Network security ensures surveillance data, which is being processed and distributed via the cloud, remains visible to only authorized users, whilst simplifying the cloud connection.
That's useful for some things, but it doesn't work for app data.
I used VPS on Alpharacks, they didn't care about content as long as it wasn't kiddie porn. The price and storage space was right, until they went out of business and closed down before I could backup my site.

I'm looking for a new VPS and I have the same requirements that you do.
Can someone explain the notion hype to me?

On producthunt atleast one notion-related product makes it to the frontpage each day. I tried it out multiple times and to me it looked like a markdown editor with templates and sharing.

Is that really such a breakthrough? Don't evernote etc. do the same?
Perhaps someone can enlighten me: So what was the impact on the internet then?

Beyond a few meme templates or abbreviations or whatever, what has the actual lasting impact been?

People say this about 4chan as well, but beyond passing meme fads I have yet to see anything convincing?
That is a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one. And it is probably related to a synergy of functions.
What designs do you recommend?

"transfer of purchasing power through time (by saving/credit)"

Except that isn't true because banks create money when they advance credit and always have done.

There is no transfer. There is a liquidity provision that aims to offset the drain of liquidity to financial savings. The two don't necessarily match, and mostly they don't, with a system tendency towards net financial saving.

Purchasing power is improved by banks because they take things that are not liquid and provide a more liquid instrument in exchange. In that sense they are not that much different from market makers.
Eh, not a lot of hacker spaces here in Silicon Valley. Don't know about the state of affairs in OP's location.
It's difficult to engage constructively with you because it is obvious you have come to your conclusions based on reading extremely biased sources and you refuse to read primary sources. You also Gish gallop around which is enervating to deal with.

You haven't addressed my question so I am going to assume that you now realise you were wrong in what you said, but don't want to admit it.

Your argument has now evolved from a factual one that can be disproved (9 months in solitary confinement), to a conspiracy theory; Assange was put in the healthcare unit against his interests, as a political punishment. This has no factual basis. It is for you to prove this claim.
The Nihilism and Exploitation of the NFT Industry
Interesting.
New idea: measure rank in the ‘prime function’. Is it of low or incredibly high rank? And if the latter, does this ‘prove’ that there is no simple polynomial generating functon?
I mean.. something awful was a community and fixture for many. That in itself is special.
And how is "weakening the electric signals between cells makes it easier for cells to alter the message and therefore might give rise to stronger forms of learning" not a plausible link? It costs more energy to ignore a stronger signal, making it harder for cells to learn to change input signals. Humans having weaker signals could therefore be related to our ability to learn, while animals could have stronger signals making them worse at learning but better at following instincts.

Of course I could be wrong, but can you really say there is no way my hypothesis could be right?

> Let’s say I wanted to introduce Jordan at work, as part of a drive for a Haskell web service. I’d have to explain to everybody what the hell Rank-N types are

If so, that's a problem of jordan's documentation. If it's documented with enough practical examples of how to get things done, and it's not buggy, no one needs to know about how it does it, or even why we have to write "forall" here. And I see from the article that it even uses generic so you can get instances derived for you (probably don't even have to add the RankNTypes pragma in your own files). Even the hand-written examples of https://github.com/AnthonySuper/jordan/blob/master/jordan/RE... don't seem to require any esoteric knowledge. But it's probably hard to write about Haskell without showing off all the fancy features that make things work under the hood :)

I remember following http://www.serpentine.com/wreq/tutorial.html years ago for work while starting out with Haskell. It introduced the absolute minimal stuff needed for lens (I didn't delve any deeper into lens than what the tutorial showed), and I was immediately productive. Now I took a quick look at the source of wreq and the first file I see has RankNTypes, GADT's, etc. and I never knew.
Well first you’re not supposed to be inhaling amphetamines if you’re using them for non-recreational purposes. I’m sorry for your friend, but it sounds like their use went far beyond therapeutic use cases.

I agree it has. I think this is because hooks have been talked about by facebook as the future of react. There seems to be no appetite for class based react improvements in the future. No wonder people move to the thing that will be better supported, regardless what it is.

Hi Peter. Thank you very much for your help.

I am a Canadian field technician hired on paper by a Canadian company. I live in Canada. Though, in fact, I work and I am entirely managed by a French company owning part of the Canadian company. They often make me travel to the US with no visa. So far I have had no problem.
Could I have issues in the US?
Pockets of internet communities shaped internet culture which shapes how society exchanges information online. That's the impact of any large scale forum.

Your question is like asking what the lasting impact of painting is beyond paint on paper.

I think the Benghazi attacks happened live on the forums. One of the people killed at the embassy was a gamer and posted often because he had a space guild or something.

Notch released beta versions of Minecraft there for people to "check out what I'm working on"

A LOT of stuff happened on the forums. It was nuts.

The Franz Ferdinand meme everyone is going off of (which makes a TON of sense if you witnessed it and even briefly think about it) is that we would have avoided Donald Trump if lowtax had not banned hentai on the forums.

I’m interested in how big/largetech is solving these problems at scale. Do you know any quality content created by these orgs or individuals working at these companies?
I’m interested in case studies, etc.
Agreed. Haskell goes against the grain and isn't afraid to break things to be more right.

No breakage at all costs is just a path to mediocrity scaled against your era. Haskell has already proven to transcend era - it's older than most languages and yet also more advanced than they can even conceive.
If you pay $1 in bus fare to go to the bank to withdraw $1,000 from your account, do you charge $1 or $1,001 as the cost?

Because by natural resource economics, the correct price is $1.

That is, the extraction is priced according to the costs of extracting a resource, not what it took to get it there in the first place.

Pollution externalities are one consideration, but my understanding is that they are dwarfed when the full input costs of formation of natural resources are accounted for. Including the fact that oil is drawn from the ground at roughly 5 million times its rate of formation.[1] This due to accidents in the origins of cost accounting by Alexander Hamilton Church over a century ago.[2]

Howard Hotelling cites himself several times in his somewhat infamous (and by the pricing history, utterly irrelevant) paper on extractive resources. He cites no geological or scientific sources.[3]

Quantitative differences becomes qualitative differences when they get large enough. For example, the difference between merge sort and bogo sort are qualitative, you can't sort anything with 50 or more elements using bogo sort while you can sort billions of elements with merge sort.

> I mean, really, is anyone's privacy improved by having more javascript popups added to every single page?

How about app stores implementing "privacy dashboards" where you can see what data an app collects and how it uses it? With the idea that app makers become more careful in what they do because it becomes so obvious. That's a result of the GDPR.

Things take a while when the law is designed for not being used as a ban hammer but to coerce better behavior. The DPAs are mostly working in the background to get actors into compliance.

The thing that stops me from moving to Notion seems to be tied to their business limit and technical limit: offline mode and latency. Any note taking/knowledge base platform needs to be able to open quickly. The UI taking a couple of seconds to load when VIM or <insert ANY editor> is only constrained by how fast you can click Alt+Tab. That small annoyance can be enough to kill whatever idea/flow in the meeting.

Offline mode. Notion have so far went down twice, longer than 8h. Loosing ALL your notes and knowledge bits with 0 backup plan, all in the mercy of a small company was the first true moment I realized how much "put stuff in the cloud" was a stupid idea unless it's on a too big to fail platform (Google/Apple)

Bugs my mind why their reactions to above often complained features have been "meh". All I can deduce is that their business model relies on keeping it online / central and how the tech is set up, it's not trivial to do it offline
I think all of the initially stated requirements work for me with default settings on LM20.2 + xfce (on an x230), however not over a usb-c hub (just a display port cable and power cable directly attached to the laptop).

As a vim user, you’d probably just find notion frustrating. As you point out, you can tailor vim to be streamlined to your workflow. Notion is in the opposite direction where everything is pretty slow going (and as I’m sure people will pile in here about how the performance sucks).
For what it’s worth, I love `zod` and use it for almost every TypeScript project I work on. Most coworkers I show it to agree with me that it is incredibly useful and powerful.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

No, I don't think you can put Substack in that same bucket. Substack has raised a total of $82.4M in funding over 4 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Mar 31, 2021 from a Series B round. Their investors are gonna want to get that money back, and how do you think that'll happen? Substack is aiming to scale way beyond SA ever had the ambition to, and probably dreaming about ending up like Twitter, Facebook et al.

Not only is adtech virtually unregulated compared to financial exchanges, it's also immensely more fragmented, and ad networks like Google AdSense are tremendously sticky once they've been exclusively integrated on the long tail of millions of publisher sites. See https://lumapartners.com/content/lumascapes/display-ad-tech-... for all the parties involved. There's a lot less transparency for all parties involved (see the work of , and arguably some version of an SEC for adtech is long overdue. If ad exchanges were operated with the transparency of broker-dealers, initiatives like https://checkmyads.org/ wouldn't need to exist.

I come from Linux land so some of the details flew over my head. With that said, is there not a valgrind equivalent for Windows? The sentinel thing seems to a default functionality to the valgrind virtual machine. I would expect that the initial part of the investigation would be automatically done by valgrind. Of course reading the whole post it looks like it would not get very far.

The other thing is, how can a system call block a thread but somehow that same thread runs other stuff in between that blocking call? Even if that is possible that sounds like a dangerous game to play, and this class of bugs seems natural.

I can imagine the scenario where a thread is cancelled mid system call, but it will be the kernel that will cancel the thread and responsible to know that half way syscalls need to be cleaned up. This way the application does not get system call call leaks? Also if i remember one debugging session correctly, when you have a blocking syscall interrupted you will get a sigabort on linux.

My guess is they spend a ton of money to promote their product. Many influencers on Youtube (adressing students) make several promoted videos a month (!) about how to use Notion. They have a ton of money to spend. Their latest valuation was ten billions, and they raised > 100m money.

I also feel like they have a ton of (paid) ambassadors promoting the product aggressively on Reddit, Twitter and other platforms.

It‘s a decent product, reminds me of Confluence, but with easy setup.

Search is their biggest problem. You hit Command+P, open the universal search window, type something and wait literally seconds before something shows up.
I notice this difference with my US friends. They do seem to think hunger is a genuine problem that must be resolved immediately. A sort of health risk. I've occasionally tried to press in on what the unspecified danger is meant to be but it's hard to do so without being obnoxious.

Obviously hunger where there is food insecurity is terrible. But the first pangs of hunger in an otherwise well fed and, in my case, well padded person? It doesn't seem like it's a big deal to me.

Snacking does seem to have become established in the UK now though for children at least. (I also remember being told not to spoil my appetite as a child.) The children I know now often have some kind of tiny packet of something on the go in between meals.
Absolutely! I just like to stick to the domain I feel most confident in.
Regarding latency, when is the last time you tried notion? I used it a couple years ago, but stopped because I found it too slow. Recently I read a blog post from them about how they have been addressing the latency issues so I tried it out again. It feels significantly faster. Pages open up instantly for me now. Might be worth trying it out again, unless the offline issues are a deal breaker for you
There’s address sanitizer on newer versions of visual studio now but in my experience getting it to actually work with all of your projects’ dependencies can be very hit and miss. Windows Debug build config also does a lot more memory checking (part of the reason it’s so slow) so you’re not totally screwed for automated tools.

It’s certainly conceivable that you could store a compressed representation of the image features. Especially if you’re operating in a more limited environment (e.g. a large metro area), it would be very feasible to only store extracted features from the image data that you could use for matching.

I would advocate Chromebooks and Chromeboxes only because once I remove the bootloader protection, flash the coreboot firmware and install whichever OS I want, from my point of view they're wonderful little machines.
But from normal users perspective, once they discover that the hardware is locked to prevent the install of anything but ChromeOS, they are garbage, and probably it is what they become once the user has enough of the Google ecosystem then ditch them well before their physical obsolescence.
Locking down hardware to prevent installation of other operating systems should become illegal.
