As a user of a 15" 2018 MBP, Apple has had their fair share of scams and traps. They had no business stuffing the chips they did in that chassis. Especially the i9s. The cooling is woefully inadequate even for my base model i7 and I have no doubt that a $1000 gaming laptop with its "cheep" build with the same CPU would have better sustained performance.

Apple has also repeatedly sold several year old computers at brand new prices, in particular the 13" 2012 MBP that was only discontinued mid-2016, the 2015 MBA that they "updated" in 2017 and sold for another few years, the 2014 mini, the 2013 Mac Pro. What's worse is most of these were computers at the bottom of their price range. I had to steer so many people away from the attractive seeming base model MBP and convince them that yes, it worth spending $200 extra to get a machine that's 3 years newer. What other OEM literally sells several year old machines for new prices?

EDIT: Just remembered they still sell the 2018 i5 Mac Mini for the same price.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah and I just remembered they'd hide what generation Intel CPU you were getting and just say Dual Core 2.5Ghz i5.
A funny line is also memorable.
Hi HN!

I put this in the wrong section of the site yesterday my side project I've worked on for the last 4 odd years finally released.

I'm also on product hunt here:

As a summary are you trying to say, its hard to debug problems on Kubernetes if you have deployed a controller/operator that is not well written. If yes, does that mean Kubernetes is complex (i agree k8s is complex).
If a human operator can make changes with a computer language, then a human programmer can make a computer operator that makes changes autonomously
It also means that your hardware has a tendency to "strangely become supper slow" when video codecs change over time.

But then they don't change that often.

Your probably change your apple laptop more often.

And given that codecs are pretty much the only "high performance" use-case apples target audience has to a high degree putting special hardware in to make it go fast is the right way to go.
In my experience in the UK, the average startup salary for a senior engineer is around 80k. Not disagreeing that they might be awash with capital, but they don't seem to be willing to share that capital.

Edit: in my figure above that's 80k pounds but from my perspective it doesn't make a big difference for someone living here whose living costs would also be paid in pounds and the prices of most goods (in terms of the number, ignoring the currency) equivalent to the US when you'd expect it to be cheaper given the value of our currency being higher.
Not everyone does CTFs.
It's certainly a shtick that is offputting to some and challenging to others. It also should have zero bearing on whether your work and contributions are valid. There is definitely a double standard, just look at how some celebrities dress and act and are praised for it.
You open source some of your existing code, then hire the people that you find working on expanding it in their free time.
Are looking for local dev/designers only? Remote first is the hot thing right now, so maybe that would help as it would be more attractive.

PS: I'm a 30 year old dude from a 3rd world country learning how to code. I'm not good, yet, but I'm hard working and I learn fast. Just trying my luck, but do you guys take an apprentice? Or maybe in need of customer support? I'm just looking to learn. What's in for you is cost reduction and someone who would be grateful for life for giving him a chance.

Others have pointed out in this thread why note-taking is taken seriously by many. Those comments are directly related to note-taking. This one isn't.

All of us were trained in many disciplines, and in one (or two) disciplines in depth.

It is very easy to wrap your head around the idea that you need training to manipulate numbers, mathematical symbols, etc. We also take for granted the fact that we need prolonged training to understand the history of the Civil War or the Roman Empire or understand the geography of regions.

But nobody notices that there is one thing largely absent in our curricula- self-management. How to think, how to make decisions, how to manage your time, how to make yourself be efficient without driving yourself mad, and so on.

Our brains, our bodies were not evolved for knowledge work. We we hunter-gatherers a few thousand years back. The industrial revolution, and the ones came after the first one did not change our bodies or brain. We need to actively learn how to do knowledge-work and learning efficiently.

And this is not modern. Many accomplished individuals had well-thought-out systems to do work. These are detailed in biographies of the likes of Einstein, Da Vinci, Feynman, etc.

Why this was not the phenomena?

Before, a very small percentage of the population even needed to think about these. Because the sheer number of knowledge workers were very very low. Now, knowledge work has expanded beyond the few with no large scale training program available for everyone.

So, this craze on note-taking is merely a symptom of people seeking to solve modern problems in a structured manner.

This is why the Getting Things Done book or Deep Work book gets a lot of mentions in Hacker News books lists. People want to solve these problems.

Notetaking is a popular topic because it is an utterly unsolved problem. The early ideas of computing envisioned computers as augmentation of the mind, [1] where automation would enhance our insights in the same way that writing augmented the insights of people in the antiquity.

However, all we got are lame attempts to replicate pen and paper in terms of annotation, with the only real improvement is instant text search, with very limited capabilities for incorporating meta data into queries. Where are the automated mind maps, statistics about how frequently you use terms in your discipline, inference of the times of day where we think about each topic...?

A programmer could built their own tools for that, but there is no standardized way to do them, it takes a lot of effort, there's no way to share the best practices that others use to their benefit; the best we've got is subchanels at Slack. And of course, all those capabilities are off-limits to end users.

Note taking tools are only now starting to explore those possibilities beyond the raw text file on hierarchical folders.

> Men can't wear "too short" because men's pants are not made that short.
You’re completely missing the point. If men did wear shorts as short as a woman they might be perceived to be weird, but not sexualized in the way a woman would be.

Men do have breasts. They are simply not as enlarged. But again you are missing the point because a flat-chested woman would not be allowed to show her breasts either. Maybe men are just better genetically because we are not born so immodest?

My argument summed up is that woman have certain non-sex related body parts (could be hips, could be breasts) that have certain display requirements thrust upon them because they cause sexualized ideas in another group of people (mostly men). As a society we decided that these sexualized thoughts are bad and should be stopped. OK, that’s acceptable. However the method we decided to do that is to tell the women to hide those parts so the other group is not tempted. Problem solved. However woman are being forced to modify themselves by society in order to fix a problem inherently caused by another group. They have no control over how the other group perceives them, so they shouldn’t be the ones having to adjust constantly to others’ perceptions.

It used to be that fat was sexy. Who knows, maybe in the future it will be flat chested. Depending on what men become sexualized by, women have to constantly change their appearance so as not to tempt man.

If you don’t find that ridiculous, let’s sub it out with a similar example. Imagine a group of white people who, whenever they see black people, felt “uncomfortable” because black people in their minds are associated with crime, thugs, etc. Let’s say that, in uncommon instances, the white people felt threatened and may have started fights if the black people looked particularly like criminals, or maybe the black people felt prejudiced and started fights. Let’s say the government’s solution to the problem was to segregate the black people from the white people, but they did so by telling the black people to not live in existing white neighborhoods. Problem solved because the instances of black on white confrontation are abated. Is it fair though? No, because it’s inconveniencing black people in order to solve a problem caused by the view point of white people. Black people can’t control how others view them, and if the problems are inherently caused by those misguided viewpoints then we should be 1) fixing those viewpoints and 2) telling people with those viewpoints to deal with it.

Absolutely. This is "leftist bullies" and "white genocide" and "reverse racism" all wrapped up with a bow on it.

There's already a term: "both sidesism". It's the perfect term.

But I'll tell you what: when the Blues Brothers and New York rioters in Seinfeld were chasing down Nazis, that shit was NOT controversial.
Just a week or so ago in Sweden public service hadn't published any articles on the government having lied about the existence of meeting protocols and memos from covid meetings.

It was out of the ordinary seeing them report only after that decision itself became a topic.

Not publishing is a very powerful tool, and no journalist is forced by the code of conduct to publish what their employer doesn't want.
To be a little nitpicky about these sort of problem "How many fence posts should Farmer Bob buy"?

"Farmer Bob would be pretty stupid to drive an hour to the hardware store to buy 20 fence posts and 100m of fence, because Murphy's Law and what if one happens to be bad or someone cuts wrong and we're short 2m of fence?"

yes, growing up on construction sites does that to you, the problem is badly phrased if it's saying "should buy" instead of "needs" ;)
It depends on your expectations. For example, you could construct a page on https://blog.example.com/my-summer-vacation-2020 and load all resources in the form of static/style.css, static/comments.js, media/header.webp and so on. As long are you're aware of the differences and the way your web server resolves static content, you can pick either, whatever you prefer.

I have no idea what Vercel, Render, and Azure Static Web Apps even are, but you should obviously be aware of their limitations when using them to host HTML. I'm sure there are plenty of other behaviours that differ between them and there's hardly any universal truth to be found in the decisions some big corporations once made.

This article seems more about the default slug-to-content resolution algorithm from a bunch of cloud providers than it is about trailing slashes.
Takes me back. I remember most of the bbses I connected to only had a couple lines. I’d set my terminal program to redial and go watch tv waiting to connect.
It works but it can be limited in how useful it is and what information you can store. Great if you want to recall larger numbers of ordered or unordered simple items, not as much if you want to use it for remembering notes on every useful book or article you read.
What you just said is fun, because that is a design choice in Kubernetes.

You DO have a virtual hierarchical configuration. It’s just that it’s not a txt file, it’s a json object.

The whole Kubernetes things is actually that: a single json defining a supercomputer. Changes to the json become changes in the supercomputer.

The whole complexity aims just that: make that task easy.

You have a lot of tools to interact with that json, but you actually only need a http client, because it is exposed as an API.
I think she is a smart woman and that she intentionally uses sex appeal. I actually don't condemn her for that, but to suggest the animosity exists "because of her looks" is dishonest. It is because she uses sex appeal for marketing herself. I am fine with that, but it is what it is. Some people have a problem with that and I doubt that will ever change and there are also good arguments that it is or should be irrelevant to the topic.
Blatant and dangerous misinformation? You're gonna have to back those bold claims up, otherwise what's stopping us from claiming that you are the culprit and should be gulag'd?

You have no idea what you're talking about, which is what's so fucked up about this whole situation. This is all a dystopian cliche. Opinions are not misinformation, and looking at opposing evidence and arguments is not misinformation. It never was, and never will be. The only people who ever claimed such things are historically disgraced totalitarians.

Misinformation comes from states and organizations with ulterior motives who twist and hide the truth for their own gain. It's about power.

Crying out about how "dangerous" it is to have a real discussion that you don't like is ridiculously absurd. Are you saying adults are too stupid to think for themselves, or should not be allowed to take calculated risks? Do you have some kind of proof that having discussions is bad for individuals and/or communities in some way?
Not all violence is physical. Violence is what you use to force people to change their behavior. There are many forms. Verbal, psychological, social, economic.

I agree with you that it's not terrorism, however.
Memory palaces work when you want to be able to recall a whole list of things.

But for arbitrary random lookups (by some associative key), does it also work?

That's also what note taking software is about, to easily search through the notes, and find related notes. I'm not sure if such interlinks are supported well by memory palaces.
I have a different question: is leetcode helpful for landing high-paying jobs, or is it a signal that the company is a low-paying company? Because I'm pretty good at the leetcode thing.

I'm interested in note-taking / improving the way we learn for the following reasons:

- Having a trace of what I've learned that I can go back to. I consume loads of content (books, articles, etc...) and want to be able to use their insights in my future discoveries and general creative process. Being able to go through my ideas in my notes helps with this.

- that point links back to the idea of optimizing for discovery. I find that I can find much better ideas when I have a nuanced perspective and can oppose different content, so having an organized knowledge base allows me to link and discover new hierarchies in my thinking to enhance it. It's also why I'm building tools to automate connections between notes with AI, and it's why my knowledge base is heavily integrated with content I consume online, for example this post that I can now search in my knowledge.

- I think there's untapped value in sharing notes and tidbits of knowledge with other people. Blog posts take more time and have different aims than notes, but notes are also valuable / can be useful for others. My public wiki is at https://knowledge.uzpg.me

- having a time-logged track of what I've been learning: I like tracking my goals / progression (for eg yearly reviews https://www.uzpg.me/general/2022/01/01/a-year-in-review-v2.h...) and going through my knowledge base helps with this

FYI you can create a key binding to "<Actions>/inserted_objects/insert_code" from Preferences. I've bound Ctrl-Shift-C and it's faster than hunting for it in the menus.

I started typing insights when I became a parent - as a “What should they know one day” kinda tool. Then I became obsessive about collecting resources and insights I get when reading or talking to people. Your writing and insights is the only thing that’s left of your brain after you pass (even if that happens 50 years from now).

Some people do daily journaling - not me, but possibly many here. Some see it as therapy - laying out what bothers you, or what you’re grateful for, to share with someone or put it away. Some use it as a way to get anxiety and stress out of your head by extracting down what needs done where and taking it out of your active memory. The Getting Things Done method.

A lot of people have writing as a way of relieving FOMO if your mind is much faster than your ability to articulate all of your thoughts. Call it ADHD, or a way to brainstorm with yourself - you surface your thoughts in front of you and can then edit and manipulate them - see if and what parts make sense, or if it’s just a nebulous cloud of general ideas that melts down when you read it as if it’s told to you by someone else. For that you need a really fast, possibly visual tool like Figma or Remarkable (I find figma easier to re-organize) or Visio (expensive) or a white board.

So the use cases are very wide range and no single tool yet can cover them - mostly because you need either low latency, or high ability to organize, or ways of manipulating data visually, or search, or ability to ensure your external brain software will be alive in 2 years (aka open source), or available on all of your devices to capture anywhere anytime. One requirement steps on the others usually.
Yes, I think what you've said encapsulates my personal opinion (not from the OP but what I believe nonetheless): that classical conservatism is no longer the "right wing", that it has been entirely supplanted by libertarianism.
You're confusing free speech with the American first amendment.

Free speech is an universal principle, probably best expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (which the US signed):

> Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Notice the part I emphasized.

I think it depends on the role, I think SDE1 level jobs are more likely going to have leetcode style questions, but if you're going for senior roles it's going to be more systems design style interviews. They wanna know that you can handle their whole stack for them and scale it to their dreamed AWS perfection.
> I realised it became another "collecting" exercise and sucked up time far in excess of it's utility.

That's because the tools to exploit that collection suck. If we had processes generating statistics on your data and organizing them in practical streams of attention, it would be worthwhile to take that extra step in compiling them.
What's better than posts about note taking apps and note taking methodology is meta posts about note taking apps and note taking methodology!

More seriously though, it's a very central topic to the software world since many things in this world deal with how to work with information. And note taking is a very central thing when working with personal information.

I would say it depends on the intention:

if the intention is to spread lies - then I would say no. Otherwise very much yes, because who would be the authority to determine the facts from the fake?

We abolished the power of the inquisition some centuries before, because of bad experience with the concept of holy truth or canon.

Science is an open process, where it is clear that some positions held today, will be abolished in the future, with new data.

Or is the concept to let only certified scientists speak up? Well, that opens up the question, who gets to decide who is one.

I think it is very dangerous to influence that process, with state authority declaring what is right and what is wrong.

And in this specific case it seems to be about an "official" scientist Dr. Malone(who was invited) who might have gone off the rails quite some time ago. But it is still important for people do decide on who to trust, than installing a government institution to do so. Because I do not know molecular biology - but I like to know, that one of the people involved with the invention of mRNA vaccines strongly advises against it. And I can read about it all and then decide for me it is likely mostly tinfoil hat area.
But if the government would activly suppress and censor his opinion - I might think, there is actually more behind.

I am not into writing notes. However I do write myself documentation and I also write a log book for how I configured servers (less necessary now I use ansible).

I frequently forget how I did some specific task or solved a particular problem or even how my own software libraries work.

Having something at hand (even doc comments) saves me the time of having to go through the same steps again.
I frequently also send notes to myself as mails.

However, often when I actually search for sth in Gmail, I have trouble finding it because it is all unorganized. I only use tags very crudely so that often does not really help me.
