One thing Notion has going for it is: it's quite easy to backup all notes, with a single click you can request a zip of everything in readable form. I do this monthly, but you could do it more often obviously.

This is something Evernote has broken lately, there no way (I know of) to backup everything at once there, and I fear that every VC-backed app will sooner or later see that as a way to improve lock-in....
It's an homage to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lp0_on_fire .
That all sounds right to me. Contemporaneously matching taxes would be a novelty.

Good lord your comment history is enthralling.
I really enjoy Notion. But for anyone concerned about lack of offline, latency issues and "my data in a great big silo" concerns I can recommend keeping an eye on https://anytype.io/en/
Until someone doesn't think twice and adds some column to the DB that contains PII.
Yes, but then you're back again with the original problem, i.e. that there's often no through-ticketing available, especially if you need to make connections on both sides of the border. E.g. while the DB–SNCF cooperation means that both companies will sell tickets for the direct trains between France and Germany, at least online DB doesn't sell through-tickets involving a connection in France, and SNCF likewise doesn't sell tickets involving a change of trains in Germany.
Hey,

I've been working on body weight logger. I find MyFitnessPal and other popular apps too bloated.

Instead I built a progressive web app. It stores data in LocalStorage. You can install it to your home screen and it works offline.

It's been a nice exercise in working with Material UI, Redux and react-router.

I plan to add Dropbox/Google Drive integration later. Open to other's ideas and contributions.

Another strange one:
Once, when testing a whole bunch of various-grade SSDs, a curious thing happened.

We had a lot of Windows servers at a prior job for a variety of reasons, so we did a lot with Windows, in addition to Linux.

On Windows only, when using a SAS HBA only, a certain vendor's certain line of SSDs[1] would not show up as disks. (They showed up as "Unknown device" if you dug through Device Manager, under "Other devices", not disk drives.)

If you used the onboard SATA, it was good. If you used Linux or Solaris, it worked either way. But on Windows, with a SAS HBA, nope.

It turns out, the SSDs left a mandatory field blank in their identify response, and Windows cared when the field was empty on a SATL-encapsulated disk versus just normal AHCI.

Once the underlying cause was identified, they cut a FW update real fast (and updated the firmware on the site without bumping the FW number, as I recall), because it also affected their enterprise drives with the same controller, and that was causing them issues...

That's assuming that there isn't another back channel to access that data.

And even if they don't access file or email content, metadata like access data like Play Store performance, Google searches for competing products, and Google Analytics data, might seem like fair game.
I'll just say this is a good reason to use a full DE like Gnome or KDE. At least with Gnome/X11 I never had any issues with external monitors. And it seems to always remember the display config of any monitors I had used in the past.
I do understand your point about extractive resources, but what happens is as the resource gets scarcer and scarcer, the free market price rises accordingly, such that it never actually runs out.

There is also the "tragedy of the commons" problem. If nobody owns the resource (or it is communally owned), then the race is on to extract as much as possible before someone else does. But if it is owned, then the owners husband it.

The most obvious example of this is cow farming vs ocean fishing. Ocean fish are not owned by anyone, and so the fish are being driven to extinction. But nobody is projecting a shortage of cows.

As for oil, it can be produced synthetically (engine oil is now mostly synthetic). Fuel can also be produced synthetically.
The amount of flickering windows gets away with is astonishing to me, and I say that as someone coming from linux.

The notion of: "it's a little bit like X, a little bit like Y - but it's neither X nor Y, therefore we it's a wild-west anarchy without any rules or regulations" - this is such a glaring loophole in our legal system that it must be intentional. Derivatives bubble, ad-tech, gig-work, crypto-mania, AirBnB, and many other socially-parasitic enterprises exist solely because our legal code is missing "try-catch-finally" clauses

The EU is large. Did you or anyone else by any chance do any research on EU countries with a fairly flexible certificate of conformity approval procedure for L1e-B/speed pedelecs?

I'm starting to research my options for a twice weekly 2*65km commute. Most of it is ideally suited for speed pedelecs, along a canal and an old railway converted to cycle highway. The commercial offerings don't suit my needs. I wouldn't really want to pay a lot of money for a DRM offering either. That would be different for a DRM free version with serviceable battery packs.

A lot of the problem would go away if the Bosch DRM could be broken in some way, or at least convinced to accept non-Bosch batteries...

Solid evidence that many US and at least one Danish union behave that way. It leaves me wondering whether German unions might behave different. (I know their legal environment is different, but I don't know how that changes their incentives.)
Is there a mature discussion on the history of 'consolization' anywhere online, first examples I am aware of are 2003: Deus-ex Invisible War and 2004: Thief - Deadly Shadows, where the PC port is deliberately gimped due to being developed for console. GTA VC/San Andreas were worth at least waiting for at the time, due to proper mouse support and higher resolution.

Previously the Doom/Quake version that was on console would be months/years late and cut down, but these 2003/2004 titles reversed the trend. There are probably earlier examples that I am unaware of.

Between this effect, subscription MMORPGs and the inevitability of microtransactions I lost interest around that time.

This is the wrong way to think about it. How much would _Google_ be willing to pay to maintain that position? Well, Mozilla's primary source of revenue, is afaik, from having Google as the default search engine, so at least that much, for whatever percent of the browser market-share.
Help I can't stop.

When we were testing ZFS (at the same prior job) while I convinced my bosses to go with it for a big setup on an upcoming cluster, we bought a couple hundred of a consumer disk to play with (my workplace was obsessed with the idea of using consumer disks over enterprise ones and just using increased redundancy+backups to deal with the gap), threw them in a couple of disk enclosures, and went to play.

Set up a pretty vanilla OpenIndiana system, build a big pool out of dozens of disks with raidz3 vdevs, and start writing bunches of data to them and then scrubbing, and a curious thing occurred...

...every time we scrubbed, the checksum error count on not just one or two, but _all_ of the drives would go up sometimes - never any read or write errors or even a blip out of any disk or controller, no SMART counter bump, nothing.

So after a lot of experimenting (not the CPU, ECC RAM is fine, controller is fine...), it turned out...

...Samsung managed to manufacture disks that made SMART requests dangerous. [1]

You see, if you issued a SMART command while there was data in the drive's write cache (which it has, remember, already told the OS that it wrote safely), it would just...drop it.

So my background monitoring of the counters as I did all this IO was making writes get lost before they reached the platters, and so on scrub, then they would naturally be noticed as wrong...

...and if SMART lined up properly there too, they'd still have some on scrubbing again...

The "best" part was that Samsung did cut a firmware update to fix this, eventually...but it _doesn't change the firmware version reported_, so you can't know if your drive is fixed just from looking. (We kept a spreadsheet of them and updated it as we flashed them.)

Yes, this is the crucial difference

Brick and mortar stores are dealers, Amazon is a broker. Dealers have inventories - they purchase items from the suppliers and resell them - if they misjudge demand, they're left off with useless goods. Brokers simply facilitate a transaction between two parties - there's no risk involved. The fact that brokers get to charge a higher mark-up than dealers is just bizarre
Had the same thought, my experience with unity support is its a blackhole. Good that there are some good examples even if from times past.
I'm wondering why every notion related article has screenshots full of emojis. Does notion automatically add those ?

Or does it provide some sort of layout to make them easy ?

Personally I'd never find the time to open up my OS's character selector, copy-paste the emoji and continue.
But what can close the loop there is a patriotic sense of not on my lawn, for want of a better way to put it. "Vendetta" almost seems too strong a word, but maybe in some situations it wouldn't be. Basically the kind of mindset that can drive long-term focus/fixation. That's scary, tbh.

I now looked up "mystical" in Merriam-Webster: "having a spiritual meaning [..] that is neither apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence"

That sounds like a pretty good description of my relationship with Unity's support engineers. I hope they exist, but to me it's more of a religious thing because I have never met one.

"mythical" says: "existing only in the imagination: fictitious, imaginary, having qualities suitable to myth: legendary".

That also fits well, because so far they exist only in my imagination but reading this story, I am impressed by their legendary problem-solving power.

Thanks to you, today I learned the difference between two similar words :) And now I can even more clearly articulate someone's progress on being less useful ^_^

Indeed, I know about this but generally people who are not familiar with HTML gets tripped up about this and the times I've had to explain it, it's been easier to just make it as explicit as possible.

Although it's possible that `contenteditable="false"` would trip them up even more, so good point.

2015’s update of Javascript makes frameworks obsolete? Really?

And ES2015 isn’t latest spec/implementation, ES2021 is. But okay, let’s ignore that.

So, these are main features why frameworks are dead:
- Default parameters
- Template literals
- Multi-line strings
- Destructuring assignment
- Enhanced object literals
- Arrow functions

What kind of functionality they provide, which for, otherwise you would use React (it’s a lib) or Angular? None.

And then in contradicts itself:

> React—isn’t really a framework at all. At best, it’s a library that developers use for learning to build their own, highly-specialized JavaScript frameworks.

> The other big JavaScript framework—React—suffers from a different set of problems.

And why even mention AngularJS and Angular@2.0.0? They have been dead for years. Angular@13.0.0 was released not long ago.

It feels like, author has biased hate towards Javascript.
Looks cool! I’ve been waiting for a better bookmark feature and something for making highlights on pages for a while, but the solutions I’ve found all fall a bit short.

It seems like it ought to be called "cancellation" only when a relatively small number of people cause the artist/speaker to go silent. If the vast majority of their audience vanishes, then nobody in particular has done anything to them.

But it might be hard to distinguish those two cases -- a few clubs/publishers/etc. might refuse to book you, and that could cause your audience to dry up.

As retail investor there's great downsides to market makers too. The prime example; the true price of the underlying is obscure when executing an order. Where the whole point of the market is to create price efficiency. When anyone creates a limit order in the middle of the spread it's often filled instantly, but not market moving. Other investors now do not have the same information as the market makers have who filled the order. So either they should publicly log each trade so all brokers can show what the true last price was and change in positions with that, or PFOF creates information dissymmetry. Markets should be transparent, and if you make money through obscurity that's against what the market is for.

Another problem is that market makers tend not to provide liquidity when it's most needed; when markets are most volatile and unpredictable. The GME spreads for example were very wide. When the market is very volatile they tend to increase the spreads until the market is predictable (as far as they can be) again. Effectively they're like bad insurance companies: When you need them they're nowhere to be found, when you don't they'll gladly take your money.

It's for everyone involved, except ones that make money of PFOF plus the market makers, probably better to have transparent inefficiency in pricing, then have defuse pricing which in some cases might be in your favour.

I worked for a company where a proxy server was used for all internet access. Every now and then a pages would not load. Error logs pointed me to the usual culprit - dns. When looking at dns traffic in tcpdump everything looked normal, except some dns replies came from rfc1918 addresses instead from the dns servers public IP address. When I talked to the ISP, they blamed me (the proxy) for reusing UDP sockets, and it was by design that their load balancer would only support one DNS request at a time per UDP socket. If there were two or more in flight, only the first response would be NATed properly. Luckily, I knew that the ISP used the same proxy product internally, so when I asked how they configured their proxy to avoid this issue, they fixed the load balancer within the hour

> The fix was pretty straightforward: instead of using QueueUserAPC(), we now create a loopback socket to which we send a byte any time we need to interrupt select().

Ha, I have always been using this trick to break from a blocking select() call. I feel less evil now.

On Linux and macOS you could also use a pipe instead since select() doesn't only work with sockets.

On Windows you can alternatively use WSAEventSelect (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsock2/...) on all sockets and have another Event just for signalling, but the downside is that it forces your sockets to be non-blocking.

Notion is great, I particularly like the database concept with multiple views and how easy it is to to embed different views on different pages. I also like the rich formatting options that make it easy to create aesthetically pleasing pages. However, I miss the flexibility that a text only system like vimwiki (offline use, speed, interoperability) gives which is keeping me away from switching completely to notion.

In the UK, you can put up to £40k /year into a private pension tax free. If you are a higher rate tax payer, you get a cash refund.

Whilst it wouldn't give you a higher current net income, it would be beneficial in the long run. There might be similar schemes in Austria.

If you are PAYE through your employer, there is little you can do really. If you can contract under a legal entity, that nunber might go up, but in the UK, you'd have to earn £100k+ for it to be worthwhile imo.

For context, I am a UK accountant.

For signing to work you need to have the public key of the signer beforehand.
If you do not posses their public key it will be impossible to know if the one signing is really the one you think it is.

So signing only works if you already have an established relation with the one receiving the data.
Tough call to make. Microsoft somehow decided very close to the release to not market win2k to consumers, which was initially planned. Instead that inexplicable abomination called Me was cobbled together as a stop-gap solution, and a decision was made to add more polish and "fun stuff" to 2k and release it as xp.

Win2k was in fact already very suited for home users just from a technical standpoint. DOS compatibility was obviously lacking and indeed slightly improved for xp, but even that didn't run a lot of games. But it ran pretty much every win9x game I threw at it.
