I started writing a daily journal with obsidian, which has a lot of this information. It’s all in a private repo on GitHub and is mirror on my home NAS. I actually keep two daily journal one for personal and one for work.

I keep is simple, three main section’s. A morning section where I write what I need to do that day, what happened already, what’s going on in my brain.

A evening section listing what I got done that day, and what’s going on in my brain.

The third section is technically the “first”. Which is a reflection on yesterday after a full night sleep. What I did wrong, what I need to improve on, etc.

A small section in which I include excerpts from my task lists for personal or work. A small section with generic daily goals like “For god sakes comment your code”.

Another small section I call “daily avoidance“ which is stuff I want to avoid, like “Working through lunch” basically bad habits, etc.

The reflection part I use as an outlet to write about what worked/didn’t work in achieving those goals, avoiding the bad habits or any other thoughts I had about yesterday or yesterdays work.

I keep both as strictly separate, I don’t write about work in the personal one unless it’s because I had a issue that caused a strong reaction. I.e Argument with co-worker. The work one doesn’t have personal stuff in it and is mostly talking about the projects or idea’s I had.

Most of them are less the 100 (average is less then 75) lines, with about 2 dozen or so markdown formatting.
You never heard about the trope of African people being called genetically inferior? That one is reverberating around time and space in a million variations.

And if intelligence is genetic, well, you don't need to improve their public schools to help them achieve equal grades, do you?
Yep. The report also says that many hedge funds were on the long side and profited from this. So they weren’t blowing up hedge funds at all…they were throwing their money at them!
Probably was written before google came out ;)
Well, assuming the PC version isn't a half-hearted console port...
Thanks for saying this. I started exploring the technology and the ideology of crypto and blockchain few months back and came to the same conclusion. A public, permissionless, PoW blockchain is inefficient by design and a private blockchain is pointless. Much better and cheaper solutions already exist.

Blockchain is solution to a problem that doesn't exist. It's more ideological than practical.
Is dd[poop emoji]yyyy[poop emoji]mm too informal?
Bruno Borges here. I'd be happy to take any questions about Microsoft, Java, and the JCP.
While 6-op definitely gives you more flexibility than 4-op, I find 4-op with non-sine operators more than usable. Examples include the YMF262 (OPL3), TX81Z and of course the digitone.
Yes. But then people take that street number from a "twins raised together" study and quote it as heritability of intelligence overall.

My problem with this: Yes, if you put extreme limits on the environmental factors, you are mostly left with genetic factors. But that is not the reality of Human existence.
My pet peeve is that closing or opening the laptop lid resets the orientation and location of all other displays.
Well, thanks redhat! But, if the state of graphics on linux is so bad, why are they spending their scarce resources writing an entirely new graphics stack rather than maintaining the one that works?

This is IMHO the firefox/etc problems all over, instead of fixing user visible problems, while their market share plummeted they were creating an entirely new programming language to rewrite the browser in (something their competitors apparently didn't need to do). Result, eventually they can't afford to do either option because they ignored the fact that exactly 0% of their users cared about whether the browser was written in rust, or some limited subset of C++ that could be maintained.

Also, if one looks at the graphics drivers in linux, there are dozens and dozens of them that aren't amdgpu, intel, or nvidia. How many of those actually work with wayland? I'm fairly certain it isn't many.

PS: Also, if someone tries to participate, but is ignored, who is at fault? Much of the opensource community works by working to find near 100% consensus. Thats why it takes forever sometimes to get a solution. Yet, when nvidia does stick their toes into it, their contributions are ignored because "we know better", despite their market share? Doesn't sound like concensus, sounds like they got run over.
Anybody can figure out what Apps are popular, or are well liked by their users. Any 3rd party could operate the Apple App Store, and Apple (or anybody else in the world) would still know what apps were popular on it, and Apple would still be able to implement them as features/apps for their own operating systems. To resolve the conflict you’re describing, an operating system vendor would have to be prohibited from distributing software.

It was mostly the iOS app, macOS app worked fine.

I have issues with the unlock method, basically i would use FaceID and it would eventually break, prompt for master password OR faceID, thought it maybe iOS so reset everything, still happened, reached out to 1P and they had absolutely no idea what was wrong, I also disabled their lock screen animation so it worked like Keychain, eventually that broke and the issue reappeared.
This was on iOS 14/15 beta and 15.

I know it’s petty, but it happened so often and often the FaceID button didn’t work, it drove me up the wall, and I’ve never had the issue on any other app, such as Keychain or strongbox.
You're kidding, right? the first damn near full page of google search is nothing but ads which they make a killing off of.

If search wasn't profitable then ads in search and SEO wouldn't exist.
You are absolutely correct. Windows also has particularly buggy displayport MST support and MacOS doesn't support it at all.
Just run a full Linux VM with a desktop environment and host the IDE and other apps inside. On relatively recent hardware you should be able to get decent performance and perfect isolation. You can use something like UTM (https://github.com/utmapp/UTM) or VMWare Fusion.
What concerned me in that post was this bit:

> His other ex and I got to tell our children that their father died without saying goodbye to them, or that he loved them

Assuming the children aren't 14+, this is where a white lie is in their best interests. Telling them this, true as it may be, will only traumatise them further than they may already be.

I know it can be very hard though when you've had a traumatic relationship with your ex.

Source - based on all my research, and discussions with child psychologists, I tell my younger kids, when they need to hear it, that their Mom still loves them, she's just working through some stuff.

The reality is that her conduct indicates no love whatsoever, merely an interest in using our kids to further her narcissistic goals ("Winning" against me, even though it's not a contest, and garnering sympathy from her well meaning but somewhat naïve religious community).

And she definitely isn't working through any of her stuff. She's only allowed supervised access, and hasn't used it once in the nearly 4 years I've had sole custody - because she "did nothing wrong", and using it would imply she had.

But, my younger kids still need to hear that she loves them, from time to time. I admit that I dislike telling them she does, but it's not about me, it's about them.
That's true, but as one of the links mentions oil is used in large quantity and is the top contributor even though its ratio is fairly better than other items. So if you use butter or coconut oil, you're getting around 400 vs 2.6k omega-6. So if you eat something that has better omega-3 ratio you'd need to eat lots of that to balance it out. When you switch to butter from canola you are essentially trading omega-6 for monosaturated/saturated fat.
Only because housing prices have been artificially inflated? I can prove how they are, but curious to know if you agree they are.

Finance is a bandaid for deeper issues.
Reading this and the Bloomberg opinion piece from another commenter, it seems much of the consternation around PFOF comes from the (mis)conception that a stock has a single price at any time. In reality it has a spread between the bid and offer. PFOF (in theory) just takes advantage of inherent patterns in retail trading to both offer better pricing _and_ still make a small profit, which is shared with the broker, allowing them to offer commission free trades.
This reminds me of a spacecraft navigation system that employed an almost perfect sphere, that floated inside the centre of chamber that employed a detection system that corrected the spacecrafts direction to keep the sphere in the centre of the chamber. On the drawings it was referred to as the space crafts "consciousness"

Unfortunately i cannot find any reference to it anywhere.
So that's what I do I created a bookmark from the main page of my Miniflux instance, and then put /feeds on the end. I also have one for the new subscriptions page. Since it's a separate page, linked from the feeds list, I bookmarked it too.
"Facebook, but owned and governed by its users"
Only good in theory, not in practice. A Facebook or Twitter built on blockchain will be too expensive. The PoW requirement will make it expensive to add new posts to the chain. Over time, as more and more people join the network, the cost will only increase. Yes, noone will be able to ban the President of the US from this network but only select few who can afford to pay the huge gas fees will be able to post.

imagine your Netflix and have to pay Apple massive % to be on their devices... then comes Apple with its own service and they can charge less because they don't charge them self's the % giving them very anti competitive advantage.
I'm not an astrophysicist, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

My understanding is that due to the expansion of the universe, all the galaxies are moving away from each other. The rate at which they move away from each other is directly proportional to the distance between them (the Hubble Constant), because space itself is expanding. Kind of like if you lined up a bunch of deflated balloons next to each other and inflated them at the same rate.

At some point, around 13-15 billion light years away, galaxies are actually moving away from us faster than the speed of light. Also, because their "velocity" is proportional to the distance, they're actually accelerating away from us.

With each year, more things reach a "velocity" where they're moving away from us faster than the speed of light, and will never be reachable without faster than light travel.

Thus the Fermi Paradox only makes sense if you consider it likely that interstellar aliens could travel faster than the speed of light. If FTL travel is impossible, then a timer was started on the day the universe was created, counting down the seconds until our galaxies were moving away from each other too fast for contact to ever be possible. In that case, the Fermi Paradox is a paradox no more. It's entirely possible other life does exist, it's just physically impossible for us to contact each other.
Not true. For example the Amazon reviews of any displayport KVM will be mostly one star. This is usually because dynamic switching of displayport works so badly on all operating systems.
Steps Towards Happiness (2015)
Indeed, amid debates about whether or not he was visionary, you have to admit, looking at the past few years, he was spot on in this regard.

At the very least, the Internet has enabled stupidity on a massive scale, and enabled the rapid spreading of ideas not backed by facts across borders.

As evidenced when people turn out to protests in my country with signs referencing political talking points from a nation 12500km away.
Famine.

Consistent crop and fishery failures induced by ecological collapse and massive environmental change, and attendent economic failure.

The world has billions living on one or two dollars per day. These people barely survive now; what happens when food shortages cause prices to strongly rise, across whole belts of countries at a time, and they stay high because crop failures become normal, and where the loss of wealth generation, from the loss of crops, hammers the economy?

Bear in mind farmers cannot just "change crops". Each crop requires a particular set of skills, technologies and experience, and these are extremely poor people, both financially and in other forms of capital, such as knowledge resources. These are the billions of people without mobile phones.

In poorer countries - populous countries - the production of crops is the main production of wealth for the mass of the population.

For those people, with significant, systemic, sustained food price rises, there comes a point where you have had so little food, for so long, you either die from it directly, or you become ill and can't fight that illness off, and it kills you.
Ifflang Ring: most significant actor of the German-speaking theatre
I wish QR codes were just 3-point simplices with barycentric triangle pixels. That ought to be enough. You could even shape the QR triangle any way (affine transform) you like, at the risk of readability of course.
That's strange. Apart from the fact that the dictionary website renders utf8 Kannada text, there's nothing else to it. Can't imagine how the browser managed to switch its language based on text found on a webpage!
Surely the reason is capitalism? If you make every person compete for lining their own pockets in order to determine their quality of life, every channel available will be exploited and every effort will scale as far as that channel will allow it?
"I don't like this vision of the web where everything is a transaction with a cost attached to it"

I like the way you put it. And the cost will only increase as more and more users join. Unlike economies of scale, this works in reverse.
I don't think this is true, Italy uses generally slashes d/m/y or dashes d-m-y. France and Spain use slashes d/m/y. The Netherlands appear to use dashes: d-m-y. Hungary uses dots, but they use the y.m.d order. Sweden uses y-m-d.

You can play with this in JS :)

Yes, capricious indeed. I paid for forum access, never posted anything, and got banned. Last visit to the site.

I thought so for a long time, but then learned about spread-spectrum and frequency-hopping (with cryptographically randomized pattern) radio communication techniques which are employed in military-grade communications, and suddenly reliably jamming GPS without jamming literally everything becomes very hard.
I would just like to highlight how absolutely amazing "this page is editable" is here.
The company I worked for uses Notion, so I use it quite a lot.
Howver, I still haven't reached the point where I look at it as a "org mode for the emacs challenged". I'm probably just having some kind of Stockholm syndrome.
When a service has a little asterisk that singles out some states they dont operate, its not necessarily because of a specific law, it can be in response to specific regulatory action against that service that they opted not to deal with
Borg sequentially scans your filesystem for changes and only then starts backing up changed data. (tbf: a lot of backup tools seem to do this)

Restic scans your filesystem for changes, and then also starts backing up the changes it finds in parallel while it is still scanning for more changes.

When you have millions of files, this makes a huge difference.
No its not. What you miss is that the creation of the signature is stored in the blockchain. So the creator can proof, that the signature existed before the other signatures. If you modify a video, your signature would have a timestamp AFTER the first signature. Proofing that this is a modified version of the original content.

Going a little bit further, modified versions of videos could be signed by the private key of the creator, proofing that the modified version was published with the consent of the creator.
I don't think providing a place where other people can say what they want is equivalent to being compelled to promote someone elses' speech.
> Unless of course deadweight loss from monopoly power n FAANG is causing the industry as a whole to be less productive and competitive.

It's this. Apple and Google control the entire mobile software market. They tax it excessively, to the point that they get a 15% to 30% cut of almost every mobile app transaction, and have for decades. If a business can't afford to give up 15% to 30% of their total revenue, forever, then they're effectively prevented from bringing their mobile apps to market. Apple and Google also effectively decide what apps are distributed to the vast majority of Americans, as their app stores are responsible for 99% of all mobile app downloads[1].

It's insane that a duopoly has been allowed to heavily tax and stifle innovation over entire markets in the mobile space for more than a decade now. The entire mobile app, operating systems and payments markets are dominated by two companies, and they're doing everything in their power to remain dominant, at the expense of consumers and healthy, efficient markets.

You forgot Chromebooks, that everyone around here is so eager to advocate, basically running their business on Google's infrastructure.
Or FLStudio and spend some time with Sytrus. Or pick up a copy of FM8
Covid cases are surging in Europe. America is in denial about what lies ahead
Sure but you miss a point. The blockchain proofs the creation date which pgp can not. So when you have the first signature of something, you can proof that you are the original creator. This ofc implies that everybody would use this method as proof of ownership.
U.S. deaths reported in VAERS are about 8,000 as of Nov 5th dataset.

Given the importance of this topic, 8,000 isn't a large number for a "manual recount" audit that would cross-reference with hospital and death records, to eliminate any fake data which may be present. We can then add the records from CDC Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), which is a separate, non-public database entered by medical professionals only.
Notion is such a great tool and the UX is very nice, apart from some performance improvements that could be done.

My only 2 problems with Notion is the limited offline functionality and data ownership/privacy.

For a PKM-system, some might say “second brain”, encryption at rest is not enough IMO. You should be comfortable to release any thoughts of your real brain into your digital one and the thought that any employee of Notion or some government agency could read them makes me uncomfortable.

It seems like Notion wants to become more of a project management and company wiki application anyways, so I guess I’ll just search on for the perfect “second brain”.

In the western world consumerism is taught: "the idea that increasing the consumption of goods and services purchased in the market is always a desirable goal and that a person's wellbeing and happiness depend fundamentally on obtaining consumer goods and material possessions."

So are the terms 'operator' and 'oscillator' interchangeable? I always thought of it in terms of voices (before taking into account polyphony)
(Not a Google engineer)

Google's engineers are notoriously loose-lipped (which is a good thing!!!). There's no way they would be able to keep a secret like this. Anytime a customer's private data gets accessed, you either a) need approval by someone or b) "break the glass", which is only reserved for oncall fires. Either way, it gets audited.

The only way I would believe something like this is if an executive/higher up requests data access, gets it, and the person auditing looks the other way.
It reminds me of SICP’s read/eval loop implementation in lisp
Now that was an enjoyable debugging story, but what was their callback doing that threw an exception?
Just like 3d printing plastic doesn't compete with injection molded plastics, 3d printed buildings don't compete with prefabricated buildings.

That is to say, if you're trying to build something expensively, and slowly, with a lot of compromises and flaws, 3d printed buildings are for you.
Damn, all these happens in a mere FIVE days? Really shows how far I need to grow as a developer lol
I've been working with Linux since more than 20 years and I don't recall any cultural aversion against binaries, at least the ones shipped by your distribution.

Compiling everything has always been a very niche hobby limited to mostly Gentoo and similar distribution users.

What we've maybe always being diffident about is app bundles, big images of apps with all their dependencies most of which duplicates of already installed libraries.

But I guess we're moving on from that with snap, flatpack and the likes gaining traction.
Total money in the world is about $60T, out of which only $6T is in the form of bank notes and coins. (Source - Sapiens). Most of our money exists only as numbers in the databases of the world's banks. So our currency is already digital and we are using it day in and day out.

When I get paid by my employer, I get a few numbers added in my bank account. When I pay for things, I see those numbers decreasing. It's all digital. Every now and then I do remove some physical money from an ATM, but that makes up a very small fraction of my currency usage.

As far as eNaira goes, it's on a private blockchain. Which is just a fancy name for a database.
This is very interesting in the context of increasing US-China tensions over Taiwan. https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/red-l...
I wonder just how much more important Taiwan will be getting to the West if we lose even more of our SC capabilities.
My main dataset that I back up with restic is around 11 million files or so, and fluctuates between 8-15TB of source data. I think I've run into similar issues testing out various backup tools too, but have settled on restic for now since it's been the most reliable.

I'd definitely recommend trying restic again if it's been a couple years. Somewhat recently they made some nice speed improvements. It used to take me several days to do a forget+purge on my restic repo. Now it takes only a few hours (less than an actual backup takes).

How many files are you backing up? I found the biggest issue for me was that almost every tool tries to keep the list of files in memory, so once you get into millions of files - it starts to require a lot more memory and can crash on low-resource machines.
