Of course, in the game Brazilians and Poles were huge enemies.
The problem is that founders without funding have very little support. I'm trying to change that at https://cxo.industries.
Of course I miss them and I do contact them when I do so -- though sometimes it's too late and their phone number has changed or their social media account has been de-activiated.

I'm just saying I could make MORE effort, and I don't see a prompt to do so as being harmful.
Unlike Atlantic, Mars isn't habitable, you can't settle there with merely possible crossing. Maybe first establish a colony at 1km depth in the ocean; we are relatively comfortable going there, but what it takes to run a colony there and would it be possible with only possible crossing?
Could it be some sort of doxxing filter gone wrong, like when Twitter banned the word "Memphis"? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2021/03/14/twitter-su...
We do not allocate each physical host a /64; we (usually) allocate each network segment (broadcast domain) a /64. Of course, for p2p use cases that ends up with a single-host network.

Most of that address space is used to allow for stateless autoconfig, though. It would be certainly possible to fit in port multiplexing, but you'd have to make a trade-off in increasing collision risk, depending on how you do it. Or go back to static addresses or DHCPv6.

No, things just slip your mind, especially if there are a lot of other things going on in life.

People forget to take medications that when not taken lead to psychotic breaks. It isn't because they don't care about being sane.

People forget their kids in cars. They didn't casually want them dead of overheating.

I have friends that when time allows, we speak to each other for hours every day. When time allows. Plenty of times one or the other has forgotten that the other existed for a few weeks.

Things get forgotten.
I find theres two groups of people within the "PKM space", those who love tinkering with it and therefore do so all the time, and those who absolutely despise it and yet are compelled to try to work it out. It sounds like you fall into that second group, I certainly do.

Strangely, I've never had a problem with it at work. Right now I use boostnote, but I could use pretty much anything else with a search box, however I think the reason there is that I make notes of solutions. If I ever run into the same problem again, I can search that problem and find a solution.

At home meanwhile, I take notes about ideas. Obviously ideas (at least not in my case) aren't triggered by a problem, so theres never a need to search for them unless I force myself to, and yet theres much more of a desire not to forget them.

Add to that the desire to have a "system" thats simple and reliant on no proprietary software features and low maintenance, ect... as well as all the possibilities that present themselves (each with their own flaws) and I end up in this terrible loop of perfecting a system I don't particularly want to perfect.
Now you need to get an annual budget surplus.
You are right. There is a spectrum between both. Since December, it has been harder than usual (nothing special, just too much stuff going on) and I use the net as an escape, but I think that I'm in this gray area where one must be alert. It is not addiction yet, but I should watch myself with a rather severe look and see if I can change the trend.
I didn’t read this as asset management at all, nor as someone managing their actual friends in a list. It seems more like these are various people who they’ve crossed paths with at some point but who aren’t overly close anymore. It’s a system set in place to actively keep in touch with people. I understand that there is a component to this that feels very artificial and maybe therefore quite cold. But consider the other side too: someone is not the best at keeping a contact alive but still values the relationship very much so they put in the effort to create an external structure to help them out. Isn’t that a pretty warm thought after all?

"This development was mainly acquired through continuous voluntary confrontation with the challenge (read that sentence again and emphasis voluntary). It was first when I understood that, or felt like, I volunteered, that I was able to compete with a free mind."

Biggest take-away for me so far is the importance of the voluntary aspect. He seems to be saying that when you fully say yes to hardship, it becomes easier to bear.

His mental fortitude provides a nice backdrop to all the UX guru's coming out of the woodworks to comment on an HTML page with a link to a PDF.
I apologize if this looks insulting, but i have a single simple question:

If you take in everything you experienced in those five years into consideration:
Was it worth it?
Nobody has cloned and re-hosted (yet?). It requires significant tech knowledge at this point. Plus I'm only 2 out of 4 on the list of things to make that possible.

That said, there are quite a few people in the JK community that are trying to "archive the jk universe" and they have crawled and saved the site and the forums and they do make their copies publicly available.

At first my instinct was "they copied my entire site, that's not right." But (so far) their goal is to copy/archive every JK site and I'm glad they are doing it because tons of old sites have just dropped off the face of the internet. Including the site that originally hosted the Jed (JK) editor and a bunch of other tools, many of which had the involvement of at least one of the original developers of the game. It's just cool stuff and it sucks that it gets lost.
Funny...when the real dino and baby (is not understanding it's surrounding fully) is IBM itself...once more IBM shows complete lack of self-reflection.
Really you should just stop using Google analytics. I know all the data is really fun to look at and can even be useful but it’s a bit like poisoning people just for walking into your business.
For the sake of interest, not quite any date.

The author says it’s the easiest and most effective way to make your life more serendipitous and that if you don’t you will miss on fun and opportunities which is very true. I never go have coffee or enjoy unforeseen activities with people I don’t speak to. Having a large network of lively relationship is indeed a sure way to have more things happening in your life. Also people enjoy other people reaching out to them. Once again there is nothing unusable in what OP is doing. Having tools to help you keep in touch with people is a necessity in any position where you need to maintain good relationships with a large number of people. It takes effort and is a good thing.
It’s not about forgetting. I don’t forget my friends, but at the same time life happens. Kids, work obligations, relationships. It’s easy to forget to reach out to friends or acquaintances. Easy to underestimate when the last time you made contact. That’s just life.
They set up the present to fail, but they were a comfortable time for many to grow up during. The youth of today have far less luxury of optimism.
Doesn't make it okay. At all.

"Human resources" is dehumanizing.

Treating people like assets is dehumanizing.

If I told my friends that I had software reminding me of contacting them, they'd consider that we're not actually friends, because friends don't need to be reminded of friends.

When there's no bond reminding me, then they're not friends. One cares about friends. When you forget about them, then you're not actually caring.
Show HN: ArkNotif, notifies you when your Lost Ark queue pops
Lost Ark (game) released with login queues surpassing 3 hours that would kick you and force you to requeue if you did not take action within 10 minutes of the queue popping. I built a bot that monitors the queue and notifies you when it pops!
This is about Fuchsia.

Unfortunately, the author did not mention the name of the boss. Unless there is a personal consequence for management, this kind of garbage will keep repeating itself.

I would encourage the author to name his manager. Maybe the manager can provide his side of the story. I suspect that Amazon leadership principles won't help him in anyway.
Can you share some uses? Genuinely interested.
Currencies rarely collapse instantly. You've usually got months to years of warning. Lots of time for people to get their cash out.

If you were Lebanese I would argue that having a bank account was a silly thing to do. Foreign bank accounts were illegal/difficult and domestic bank accounts are now worthless. You could own crypto or some kind of real good, such as a warehouse full of a commodity like wheat or diesel. Those are your options for hanging on to your wealth.
Boxes that resonate are easy enough. Just put speakers where the strings would be!

Sure, but that's pretty much by definition a dudebro mindset.
The NATO mutual defence pact is based on the theory of “first they came for my friends, etc. etc., then when they came for me there was no one left to defend me”, implicitly believing that a local expansion is a prelude to a global expansion. And there may indeed have been some truth to this in the part of the 20th century when communism was a globalist totalitarian ideology.

So I don’t think it’s a straw man at all, but rather the entire basis of NATO.

The US is also militarily active far outside its territory but I also don’t believe this is a world domination plot either.
When I miss people, I often don't have time to reach out. When I have time, I often don't remember that I wanted to reach out to people.
Sometimes life keeps us too busy.
Wouldn't that qualify as a MUD more than an MMO?
> I know all the data is really fun to look at

bit of voyeurism as well
Sounds like the system could be created using https://www.monicahq.com/ Personally, I never had the discipline to turn this into a useful tool, but I definitely see the value in it from the perspective suggested by the author.
Implying that forgetting a date and forgetting a person are equivalent.
With respect, I feel like this reaction is a bit luddite. OP is using technology to help maintain and build relationships. It's not technology that's dictating anything, it's technology as it should be used: to make our lives better.

I'd be absolutely fine with someone I appreciated reaching out to me and asking how things are going, even knowing they are using a prompt, as long as the contact was sincere.

I'm wondering what the difference here is compared to these: a close family member / friend who is really good at keeping in touch with people, and prompts you as well; a birthday calendar; a rolodex [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolodex]; Facebook / Instagram as a primary way of keeping in touch with people

For me, the difference is only in the specific technology being used, but the intent and effect is indistinguishable.
Since C11, C already has a kind of pseudo-generics.
Like any age it depends a bit on your circumstances whether you enjoyed the 1990s.

I miss the tech squabbling of windows vs everybody else. It was interesting in a way the boring tech stack stuff now never can be, because you had companies setting out to destroy each other.

I had a fat Sun workstation on my desk, a crisp white shirt, a decent suit, an expense account and the freedom to have a long friday lunch (as long as you took the support microtac and a beeper with you): it was bliss. A boozy long lunch outside at a restaurant in the Sydney sun with a tight bunch of colleagues is mighty hard to beat.

Of course it helps that none of us had family responsibilities, were getting paid bonkers money and had an understanding boss (Hi Uncle Pete, still the best boss I ever had).
The solution to the SMS problem is to use VOIP. I personally very much like JMP.chat.
In at least some countries in Europe where wolves or bears have been reintroduced there are compensation schemes for loss of cattle. This can actually lead to fraud: one of your sheep died in the mountain? Another victim of a wolf...
That's not always so easy. For many people, such as people with ADHD, the concept of "out of sight, out of mind" affects their life to a significant level, to the point where they really enjoy contact with their friends, however reaching out to them never comes to mine.

Some people legitimately can't remember to contact friends without any external prompting.
Could imagine you could do something like this in Emacs org mode just by keeping a repeated SCHEDULED: datestamp under someone's name, say in a file called contacts.org? Using airtables seems a bit overengineered

Can anyone suggest a tool that is similar to Retool / AppSmith / JetAdmin

BUT for programmers? I.e. I don't care about "no code" (happy to code myself, in fact I think it's best to be able to customize things in code) but that takes care of things like backend-frontend sync (ideally push-based), permissions, etc. is fast (looking at you, AppSmith) and ideally also automates some tasks (e.g. auto-generating the GUI from SQL schema, similar to the original Django Admin)?

Just my wishlist...

Edit: another way of describing what I want: I would like to be able to edit the SQL database (or whatever data backend) via an interface that can be Excel-like (just a list of rows), custom (just a GUI of custom components) or a mix (e.g. rows with search, or grouped by some key, or multi-editing several rows, or displaying foreign key relationships ("parent" row and "child" rows)).
I used to be a Gamemaster for Tibia. Before that I learned english from playing this game.

This MMORPG was a university project of 4 german students from Regensburg. running on university hardware. Once they finished their studies they had to make a decision to start a company or shut the game down for good. The server was offline for days, if not weeks and the community was anxious about the outcome.

it was such a fun game to play at the beginning because everything was new. for players AND for the guys developing it. you could attack others by aiming with your mouse. so you could attack characters on your screen. but there was no range check, so you could also attack players all the way on the other side of the world if you tweaked the code. also, no cooldown, and no penalty if you aimed at a tile where no player was standing. that means you could have sent an attack command for every single tile on the game world and instantly kill every player/monster around.

Duplicating stuff was possible because the map (including all items lieing around) was saved once at 9:00am ... but your characters inventory was saved whenever you logged off. so before 9:00am you put your amazing and expensive sword on the ground, after the save you pick it up again and log out. now you wait for a server crash, which happened regularly in the early days. (and some might have figured out a way to crash it on purpose) .. after a crash a backup of the map was restored. so you could log in. your sword was on your character but it was also on the ground where you put it at map save time.

me and 3 other people organized a meetup in austria, back around the year 2000 i think. people from all over europe attended. so did the 4 german guys who created the game. out of gratitude for organizing the event we could ask for a special favour. i got a unique weapon, i think one of us got a custom house on Fibula (a tiny island south of thais) ... sidenote: most names from the beginning were latin words stemming from medicine. (Fibula: shinbone, ...)

fun times, also addictive like hell.
> Marshall McLuhan said that when one medium makes another obsolete, it frees up that previous medium to become an art form — which is what happened with the internet eclipsing TV. Around the early 2000s you had the Sopranos and other long-form TV programming emerge, shows which could genuinely be considered art. Recently there’s a new Soprano’s show based on Tony Soprano’s early life, The Many Saints of Newark. If they announced that next month the Muppets were doing a Soprano’s variant, I wouldn’t be surprised. As I said, everything goes on forever these days, sprawling out into seasons of episodes and spawning relentless new iterations. Kurt knew how to make an exit.

This year's Super Bowl featured an updated Soprano's intro with Meadow and A.J. in order to sell a truck. Other ads also brought back Dr. Evil and the villains of Austin Powers, an aged Jim Carrey reprising his role as Cable Guy, Guy Fieri, and Lindsay Lohan.

Coupland's onto something.
"We needed a tutor

So built a computer

Well, if you give up on capital letters (which you'll have to anyway), a W is obviously a double-U. As in a U of twice the height. And of course, since u and w upside down are just n and m, by symmetry m is the double-height n.

Yes this is a bit of a stretch but when you write it out they look similar enough to the correct shape that you can still read the words just fine. The letters that don't really fit in any way that looks right are x,v and k.
Aside from the code I was wondering how much of this is the spec and how much is the specific implementation of the network stack they're using. Is this the same on MacOS? On Windows?
How can you model something for which you have no real data ;) ?
I guess multiplying the government provided numbers times 3 would give a somewhat accurate estimation.

Even if you trust the government numbers suddenly going from 2% inflation to 8% inflation ruins most FIRE plans which tend to have razor thin margins (so to say) on the returns they get on their investments.
I know what you mean, and that's why I disagree with the article's "the content will be gone" point.

I was for a long time involved in running a Civilization series fansite that also dates back to 1998. The site hasn't had much activity for a long time but the old stuff is still there. The forums, which have a lot of quality information, are fully available going back to late 2001, with some of the earlier threads also existing. Static content like user-created scenarios for the games, that's still there. Even if the links are broken (they often are), the files are on the server and recoverable. Recently I helped someone find a bunch of stuff made around the time these communities were first appearing, so late 90s.

That is quality content and it has survived online better than most content on "platforms" and certainly better than content on company-managed official forums. It's something from the early days of the Web, content made and maintained by some people who really the subject at hand, without chasing a profit.

Also, this is tangential to the article's main point, but Reddit isn't like a forum, at all. Forums were built for long-form, long-lasting discussions. A thread where multi-paragraph posts get written as a discussion plays out over multiple days, sometimes weeks, that's normal for a forum because they were built for that. And most forums had better search 20 years ago than Reddit does now because those discussions were meant to be visible for years. Reddit is the complete opposite - in somewhat active subreddits, it's about comment threads that last mere hours. Commenting on something 24 hours old isn't worth it because almost nobody will see the comment.
Seems jetadmin is not open source while appsmith is.
There seems to be a non-fringe sentiment that "this is pretending to care" or "you can't automate friendship", etc.

I see where it's coming from, and I agree to some extent - I wouldn't want to be contacted "for the sake of it". Feeling like it's a chore for the other person that they have to get through, in the hopes of some (maybe financial?) reward at the end of it.

However, I think this approach warrants some defense against the "I would purposefully avoid people like this" reaction.

Using myself as an example - I have considered doing something similar, and I liked the article a lot. And it's not because I "want to hack some serendipity", but because I genuinly have a hard time finding enough time for all the things that matter in life. Having a system in place doesn't mean it's fake, it means you are prioritizing this aspect of your life (i.e. you care enough) and are finding ways to fit it into everything else you have going on.

In a normal workday I spend ~9 hours in "work mode". I want to fit in ~1-2h of running every day to counteract my sedentary lifestyle. I need to spend some quality time with the immediate family (wife and kids) - let's say ~2 hours. And there are additional little everyday tasks that need to happen every day - shopping, helping kids with their homework, doing the dishes, etc.

How much time does this leave to socialize? I will occasionally think of some friend or another, and miss them. But I won't have time to reach out in the moment. And then - e.g. when the weekend comes - who do I reach out to? Do I spend every saturday just calling everybody in a row?

I enjoy catching up with my friends, but it takes a lot of energy for me. I can't feasibly reach out to everybody in a given weekend - it would leave me completely drained, and exhausted.

So I prioritize. I try to reach out to people I haven't spoken to in a longer time period. Or people I know have had some life event happen recently, etc. I try to find a way to keep in touch with most people, instead of just a few of them.

But here's my issue - it's hard to remember how to schedule who to get in touch with, and when. "Did I last talk to X 1 week or 2 weeks ago? Should I get in touch with Y instead?" etc.

Now, I could start taking paper notes, or look at my calendar, etc. But at this point I'm setting up some mental system to help me with the scheduling. Which is basically just a different (possibly less efficient) flavor of what's described in the article.

Now, maybe I'm projecting, and this doesn't apply to many others. But please consider - if you feel someone in your life is reaching out through automated means - that they might really care, and just have a hard time figuring out how to do it otherwise. If scheduling catch ups comes naturally to you, it might not to others.

(and I know the article mentions "serendipity" and is not necessarily about catching up with close friends. I think it works well for both)
I thought much of biz tech came from US slavery..??

Which then went to railroads and other corporations...

Specifically org charts and things like that.

...ah I might be wrong about the org charts. Maybe. I do now remember the actuarial biz started down on some port street -- dealing with insurance and risk of transporting slaves.

Yeah, think the org charts were slavery too, but in the US.
